"It's not that I don't want to go with you, it's just that I can't go with you. I have promised Kobe that I will go to his place to train together," Li Hao said to LaVine who invited him.
"Who?" Raven looked at Li Hao with an expression of disbelief.
"Kobe Bryant, your idol, the star of the Lakers, and one of the best shooting guards in the league in the past ten years." LaVine only fell in love with basketball when he saw Jordan playing when he was a child, but with Jordan's retirement, With the rise of Kobe, LaVine once again regarded Kobe as his idol.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible. How could Kobe invite you to try out with him? I don't even have the chance." Unable to accept the facts, LaVine said that everything Li Hao said was false.
"Then do you want to come with me and see with your own eyes?" Li Hao definitely didn't want a car to take him there.
"Go, of course I'm going." The thing LaVine looked forward to most when he went to the Lakers for a tryout was to meet Kobe.
……………………………………………..
"By the way, how did you meet Kobe?" LaVine couldn't help but ask after the car started.
"Didn't I go to the Lakers for a tryout? Kobe happened to be in the training hall that day. Later during the game, Kobe was a little bit nervous, so he came off the court and played with us," Li Hao said.
"You actually played against Kobe, and your opponent was your teammate," LaVine said with envy.
"An opponent, a teammate" Li Hao replied.
"How is it? Is Kobe very good?" In the 1990s, a group of talented young people couldn't wait to enter the league to compete with Jordan. Now, many young people want to have a chance with Kobe.
"Awesome, I was beaten in a fancy way and I didn't have any strength left to resist." There is nothing wrong with being beaten by Kobe. In the past ten years, many players have been beaten by Kobe.
"I knew it~~~Oh, it would be great if I had a chance to play against Kobe." LaVine was excited at first, then depressed.
"Haha" Li Hao sneered. Although Kobe's mentality has changed a lot, Kobe is still the same Kobe. As for LaVine's papery defense, Li Hao is really afraid that LaVine will not only be beaten to autism, but also be sprayed. to autism.
…………………………………………….
A superstar like Kobe not only has his own private training venue, but also a private team of trainers. When Li Hao took LaVine into the training hall, Kobe was training with his own trainer.
"Here it comes." After Kobe invited Li Hao to enjoy Los Angeles at 4 o'clock in the morning, the two exchanged phone numbers. During this period, they also had intermittent contact, so there was no disagreement after meeting.
Compared to Li Hao, Lavin seemed a little nervous, but this is normal. Who can remain calm when facing his idol.
"Kobe, this is my teammate in college, Zach LaVine," Li Hao introduced himself to LaVine.
"I know, this year's hot rookie, welcome, Zach" Kobe took the initiative to extend his hand.
"Hello, I'm your fan." It's a pity that LaVine is not strong enough now and can't hit Kobe, and he will even be hit by Kobe in turn.
"Let's play" is very Kobe. After being injured for a season, Kobe has long been hungry and thirsty, but Kobe's team has been pressing him. Kobe is no longer young now, and many years of career have created Kobe's injuries.
"Is that okay?" LaVine didn't expect Kobe to make such a request as soon as they met.
"Of course, why else come to the training hall?" Kobe said and asked Li Hao and LaVine to change clothes and warm up.
"I knew it." Li Hao looked at LaVine with some pity, who was still excited about meeting his idol.
………………………………………….
In the next few minutes, Li Hao witnessed how LaVine was beaten to the point of being autistic by his idol. LaVine's defense had improved due to his frequent one-on-one training with Li Hao in the past few months, but that improvement was still there in front of Kobe. Just paper mache.
Even when facing LaVine, Kobe didn't use a picturesque fadeaway jumper. From Kobe's offensive skills, it can be seen that the old Mike didn't even use his full strength in this one-on-one duel.
"Are all today's scouts blind? Can someone like you enter the lottery?" Kobe was telling the truth again.
Kobe is a person who can criticize his teammates for being autistic. Although he is older now and his mentality has softened a lot, that is not because Kobe's ability to criticize others is poor, but because he has matured.
"Lee, it's your turn. You go and see how Lee defends." LaVine, who had not yet recovered from his autism, was directly driven away by Kobe.
As for Raven's autism, Li Hao didn't care. After getting along with him for this period of time, Li Hao knew that Raven was not a person who could be easily destroyed.
In fact, LaVine quickly woke up from his self-isolation, and then watched Li Hao being beaten by Kobe in a fancy way. This is probably called the turn of events.
However, LaVine soon discovered that Kobe was completely different from playing against him just now. The attack took longer, he used more fake moves for breakthroughs, and even used fadeaway jumpers.
Although Kobe still won, it was not easy for Kobe to win. He was completely different from himself just now. Kobe didn't sweat much after playing with him just now, but now Kobe was sweating profusely, and Li Hao was also sweating profusely.
"Li, can you come with me for a test?" After the game, a trainer came to Li Hao.
"Oh~~~ I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Tim Grover." Li Hao always thought this person looked familiar, but now after hearing his self-introduction, he immediately thought of who this person was.
It goes without saying that the old hooligan can become a god because of his own talent and hard work, but no matter how outstanding the talent and hard work are, someone needs to develop and find the right direction, and Grover is that person.
"Go." Compared to Li Hao who only knew Grover, Kobe undoubtedly understood Grover better. As the old gangster's official trainer, Grover had very high standards.
In fact, this cannot be blamed on Grover's high vision. He is used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, and it is understandable that it is difficult to swallow simple meals. Looking at the past two decades, who's talent can be compared with Jordan.
Grover even felt that the world of basketball might never find a player who could compare with Jordan. But today, Grover seemed to see it, even though it was just a shadow. This was Grover's initiative to take Li Hao to The reason for doing the test.
"Hey~~~ Come here and continue." After Li Hao was taken away by Grover, Kobe turned his attention to LaVine on the sidelines.
"This time, don't think of defeating me as easily as before." Seeing Li Hao's performance, Raven decided to save face.
Five minutes after LaVine said this, he shut down again, but compared to the first time, LaVine did perform better.
Isn’t there such a saying? Offense depends on talent, defense depends on attitude. Although Kobe still doesn't use his full strength, LaVine's attitude does appear.
