On his first day in Los Angeles, link had a boring night.
Although Los Angeles is big and full of lights, link has few friends here. Without the old driver''s belt, link didn''t know where to go. Don''t mention Los Angeles. In Memphis, if it wasn''t for Randolph and Tony Allen, link didn''t know where the door of the nightclub was going.
So, linkso played games all night in the hotel room... At 11:30, he couldn''t bear it, so he went to bed directly.
It must be said that the intense schedule of the past few months has made link very tired. It was a rare evening when link went to bed and soon fell asleep. At the thought that there would be no competition or formal training tomorrow, link relaxed both physically and mentally.
Just as link was sleeping soundly, he was awakened by the sound of an alarm. Link was sleepy and didn''t know what time it was. Anyway, it''s still dark outside the window. It''s not morning yet.
Link sat up from bed and glanced at the clock on the wall. It was only three o''clock in the morning.
"Which psycho calls this time..." link swears and picks up his mobile phone, but the "Psycho" on the caller ID makes him swallow his mouth - Kobe Bryant.
"Er..." link helplessly connected the phone, sure enough, there came Kobe''s voice.
"Boy, I thought you couldn''t answer the phone."
"How can it be? What''s the matter?"
"You promised to train with me. I think it''s five o''clock. I''ll send you the address in my private training hall."
"OK, see you tomorrow afternoon, Bryant." Although Kobe''s time on the phone was amazing, link was still very excited. It''s a rare opportunity to be invited to practice with Kobe! He thought Kobe was just saying it casually, but he didn''t expect to train together.
"No," Kobe replied harshly, "not in the afternoon. I said five in the morning, two hours later."
Link:
"Don''t be late, boy."
Before link could react, Kobe hung up. Link looked at the phone whose screen had gone out and the dark sky.
Who am I? Where am I? What just happened?
Have you ever seen Los Angeles at 4 a.m?
If anyone mentions this stalk in front of link in the future, link will surely explode in situ. Because, four o''clock in the morning in Los Angeles is not beautiful, except tired and sleepy, there is no feeling!
In order not to be late, link went out at four in the morning. The streets were empty, with occasional cars passing by. There were almost no pedestrians, except for some drunkards who had just come out of bars and nightclubs.
Incomparably prosperous "angel city", also seems to be in this moment a short respite. Sitting in a taxi, looking at the city has not yet awakened, link suddenly felt not sleepy.
The rest, only inner incomparable calm. He doesn''t have any distractions now. He can concentrate on everything he does. At this time, link felt that he understood some of the reasons why Kobe always liked to train in the early morning.
Forty minutes by car, link arrived at a gymnasium on the outskirts of Los Angeles, a small Stadium on the edge of a beach. It''s just a street away from the beach.
It looks like it was built for the residents nearby.
At four or five o''clock in the morning, there was no one in the dark. But through the few windows of the stadium, you can see that there seems to be bright lights inside.
Link crept into the gymnasium for fear of going to the wrong place and was beaten up as a thief. However, by the time he stepped into the training hall, Kobe was already warming up.
"Coming? You''re not late. Your attitude is OK. " Kobe and link say hello, then continue to warm up on their own.
"I didn''t expect that you would ask me to train so soon..." link was a little at a loss, so he also followed suit.
"No way, no one else answered my phone. It''s just you."
"What?"
"Ha ha ha ha, you''re kidding, boy. I asked you to come for a reason. Your defense is very smart and is a great fit for training together. Today, I want to train my offensive footwork, so I''m sure it''s the most suitable and close to the actual combat to find you to defend. Of course, I can also teach you two moves. You can go and think about it yourself. And you said you''d like to train with me during the day, didn''t you? "
"Of course, of course I will." Link didn''t ask any more. If you''ve come, you can live with it. Besides, it''s better to learn than to lie in bed.
The key is to lie on the bed alone!
Kobe smiles, and he can see that link is the kind of player who is willing to work hard. And this guy''s willpower is terrible, which has been noticed since Kobe''s first loss to the Grizzlies. And link came after no complaints, is to let Kobe have a good impression on him.All in all, Kobe likes to train with this kind of person. Training is not only good in quantity, but also in quality.
After a simple warm-up, Kobe and link officially began training. Kobe wants to practice footwork today, so he doesn''t need any trainers. Two people are enough.
Lin Keheng in front of Kobe, very focused. As a player from the Development League, link has long been used to the attitude of actual combat to treat training.
There is no doubt that link''s concentration is one of the reasons why Kobe chose him to train with him.
With the ball on the outside, Kobe made a feeler step. He stepped out with his right foot first, and link was very stable. It seems that just as Kobe''s right foot is about to retract, his right foot is suddenly steadfast, and then accelerate the breakthrough!
"Nest grass!" Link in the heart secretly scold, Kobe this time really unexpected. Link can only instinctively step back, but Kobe just took a step to stop.
Link''s judgment is still very accurate, not by Kobe''s emergency stop away. He jumped up and up, ready to block Kobe''s shot.
However, Kobe''s first shot was a fake shot. After the light link light up, Kobe just jumped out, took the initiative to hit link''s body, and hit the ball.
"2 + 1, this is definitely a 2 + 1!" Kobe roared with joy. Sure enough, this guy would want to win even if he was training with rookies.
Link swallowed. Kobe''s attack was terrible. With just one feeler step, you''re playing yourself around. Otherwise, they are top scorers.
The first two times link and Kobe played, link and Kobe''s opposition time is not long, and Kobe''s state is also general. Otherwise, just from the performance of Kobe, link estimated that he would be beaten to slag.
"Smart is wronged by cleverness, boy. You are not thrown away, but you are shaken by the fake vote. In the future, you have to watch the other person''s movements more carefully. Come on, let''s go on. "
Kobe patted link on the shoulder, picked up the basketball and continued to attack.
After that, link was completely tormented by Kobe. Yes, link calls it torture.
After dribble, turn around smoothly, then jump shot, hit.
Dribble after the smooth turn, but deceive link center of gravity shakes, Kobe immediately to the opposite direction of a half turn jump shot. The swinging linkgen couldn''t have been disturbed. Kobe hit again!
His back swayed. Seeing that link''s center of gravity was too far forward, Kobe turned half around and stepped forward to break through link''s side, and then picked up the basket successfully...
in the whole training, the number of times that link can prevent Kobe is very few. Kobe''s footwork is very changeable, and he doesn''t have a heavy look. You can''t predict what this guy will do next. Even if he occasionally anticipates, he can score against the defense.
Half an hour later, link was sweating. Kobe, on the other hand, is getting stronger and stronger. Don''t think Kobe will be lenient. Even in training, this guy will want to win or lose with link.
"Inhumane, inhumane. How can the Laker stand this guy?" Linke make complaints about his knees and breathe out.
"Link, your defense is still too dependent on feeling. To tell you the truth, you didn''t understand my steps. So you can''t stop me at all. " Half an hour later, it is estimated that Kobe is also sadistic, and then pull link to explain.
"Your steps are too variable for me to predict." Link gasped, saying that Kobe can play flowers for you, whether it''s the back step, the breakthrough step or the trial step.
"I said, it''s just because you don''t understand the pace. I''ve seen your back attack, the foundation is good, but it lacks change. Meet a strong defender, after two or three, he will know how to deal with you. Come on, boy. Take the ball. I''ll teach you. Now, it''s your turn to attack. "
With that, Kobe threw the ball to link. It seems that there is no breathing time in their training.
Link holds the basketball and looks at Kobe in front of him. Is this for one-on-one guidance from this guy?
So just being abused for so long is worth it.
