Li Ao turned off the system and looked at Kobe, his eyes lit up.
An experience baby nearly two meters tall!
Can it be brushed repeatedly?
His fiery eyes gave Kobe goosebumps on his back.
If he hadn't heard that this guy often asked 18-year-old girls to check out rooms, he would really think there was something wrong with this guy.
The two warm-ups are not particularly similar, just muscle activation, joint mobility, and stretching.
Soon, one-on-one training began.
Kobe made a free throw line shot to start the game.
Li Ao's 'Heavy Pressure Level 2' is activated, speed +3, strength +3.
Seeing Li Ao open his arms like a big spider, Kobe felt a slight sense of oppression, and he was surprised that this bastard's arms were so long!
Kobe, who wanted to kill Li Ao directly, chose to break through.
Li Ao defended very hard, but was passed by Kobe. Li Ao turned around and chased after Kobe, keeping up with Kobe.
This bastard is so fast! Although Kobe was surprised, he easily changed the action of dunking into a pull rod and threw the ball into the frame.
Kobe tilted his neck and glanced at Li Ao with a smile. Without saying anything, he ran to pick up the ball... As soon as he picked it up, the ball was snatched away.
Li Ao said: "Come again!"
Kobe was puzzled: "Watt? What do you mean?"
"You continue to attack, I will only defend."
"..."
What else is this called one-on-one training?
This was the first time Kobe had heard such a request.
Forget it, he couldn't figure out what this guy was thinking anyway.
Since the opponent only wanted to defend, the corners of his mouth turned up and his expression was a little ferocious.
Blast this thing!
Next, Kobe played 9 singles, and Li Ao defended very hard, but only interfered once and got 20 achievement points.
One-on-one, Kobe was too incomprehensible.
Li Ao tried a variety of defensive methods, but finally chose conventional defense, following Kobe, using his height and wingspan advantage to interfere with the last shot.
This is the greatest shooting pressure that can create for Kobe.
After irritably hitting 10 goals in a row, Kobe recovered after taking two breaths and asked: "It's your turn to attack next, or should I continue?"
"Come again! You will be defeated by me soon!"
Kobe was furious.
A rookie trying to beat him?
Keep hammering!
After 10 singles...
"Humph, if you want to score everything, it's impossible! Come again! You're going to miss more shots soon! You're going to lose!"
After another 10 singles...
"Haha, you missed two shots, and soon I will hear the endless sweet sound of iron!"
Another 10 singles, another 10 singles, another 10 singles, another 10 singles...
More than an hour later, Kobe held the collar of his T-shirt in his mouth, put his hands on his knees, and looked at the same rookie with a shabby appearance.
Li Ao had the toughest words in his body: "Why don't you continue? Are you afraid of me? I know you must have reached your limit."
"...Your legs are already shaking."
"I'm so excited! I can beat you soon."
The opponent's high fighting spirit made Kobe angry.
He must defeat this bastard's inexplicable fighting spirit!
Fire clouds in the sky shine on the Los Angeles coastline, the sun sets, and night is about to begin.
Kobe couldn't believe it!
In the last 10 singles, he only scored two goals!
He played Li Ao in singles, from being relaxed at the beginning, to going all out later, to continuing to beat the opponent with strong willpower, and then feeling the pressure later... When his physical strength reached a certain level, Li Ao's big spider The pressure placed on him by his average size was increasing.
When he suddenly stops moving, it’s over!
In the last few 10-goal attacks, it was no longer Li Ao's initiative, but he couldn't believe that he couldn't even score 5 long-range shots in 10 one-on-one duels!
Li Ao defended the opponent's shots one-on-one from mid- to long-range. His terrifying height and wingspan locked up Kobe, who was unable to jump high due to his declining physical strength!
Just like locking up Mobley yesterday!
"Hahahahaha, I told you that you would eventually lose to me! I only scored two goals, hahahahaha..."
Look at Li Ao lying on the floor sobbing.
Kobe put his hands on his knees.
He didn't argue, he had to admit it.
He... lost!
After a while, Kobe stepped forward and stretched out his hand towards Li Ao.
Li Ao was a little surprised, but he still took the other person's hand and tried to stand up.
It's all going to be ruined.
The two of them came to the side and sat down, drinking energy drinks crazily. There were a bunch of bottles scattered beside the court. The two of them took off their shirts while drinking, and their whole bodies were soaked.
After drinking a bottle of drink, Li Ao was too tired to speak. The two sat in silence, waiting for their bodies to stop sweating profusely before taking a shower.
Kobe was the first to calm down. He felt that if he hit Li Ao now, the opponent might not be able to move his feet.
But he's not that thick-skinned and can't do that kind of thing.
Moreover, he couldn't help but admire the opponent's tenacious fighting spirit and unbreakable spirit.
Of course, that's all.
But I still have to say something: "You are just lucky today, next time I will beat you until you lose your fighting spirit!"
An indescribable color flashed in Li Ao's eyes, and his expression became sullen again: "It's the same so many times, you must be the one who loses in the end!
Don't wait for next time, just tomorrow. It's still the same time tomorrow. Do you dare to come? "
The competitive spirit suddenly started again. Kobe thought that although he was tired today, he would be fine if he slept. He said angrily: "Come here, will I be afraid of you?"
"Whoever doesn't come tomorrow will have a grandchild!"
…
At 3:50 pm the next day, Kobe came to Memorial Stadium.
The security guy who almost kicked him out yesterday told him he was sorry for what happened yesterday. In order to express his apology, the owner of the Memorial Stadium made the training ground he used yesterday his exclusive training ground and can be used at any time for free. .
Kobe was very angry when he saw this security guy, but when he heard the arrangement made by the owner of the Memorial Stadium, his vanity was soaring, his mouth widened, and he repeatedly expressed that he was very generous and had long forgotten what happened yesterday.
Ten minutes later, at 4 p.m., Kobe came to the training ground in a remote location with a 'Blacksmith' nameplate hanging on it. He had deliberately chosen the training ground in the corner.
blacksmith? What's the meaning?
Are you describing his tireless and never-ending basketball spirit?
He saw the door open and there were sounds of shots and voices inside.
The promised exclusive training ground... I walked in and saw, oh, it's that bastard.
An old man wearing real estate work clothes is helping that bastard in mid-range shooting pass the ball. Is this bastard even yelling at such an old real estate manager?
Be a human being!
Seeing Kobe coming, the old man chatted with Li Ao for a few words, picked up the thermos cup, and left the training ground.
When Kobe and the old man passed each other, he smiled at each other and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
The old man was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's work."
The old man who walked out of the training ground and closed the door was surprised.
Li Ao told him before that Kobe was very polite and an educated person. He didn't believe that a polite and educated person would not get along with everyone on the team?
Unexpectedly, this high school student who is said to have a bad relationship with everyone on the Lakers team is actually quite polite.
In the training ground, Kobe ignored Li Ao and continued to warm up on his own.
But he looked at Li Ao... who looked a little tired but holding on.
I hope I can finish it early today!
Kobe swore that he would break this rookie's incomprehensible fighting spirit!
More than two hours later, the fiery red sun reluctantly disappeared on the Los Angeles coastline.
Two two-meter tall men fell to the floor in the exclusive training ground of the 'Blacksmith' at Memorial Stadium.
Kobe looked at the ceiling, he didn't understand.
Although he was too tired yesterday, he felt a little tired when he woke up today. After the team training in the morning and afternoon, he felt a little more tired.
But the other party was obviously more tired and looked like he was going to die from the beginning.
But why is this bastard so motivated, perseverant, and perseverant?
Just like slime!
After every round of Kobe's attack, he felt like he was going to defeat the opponent, but the opponent was able to persevere and wear him out until he could no longer move. In the end, he used his height and wingspan to defeat his mid-range shots.
After regaining his strength, Kobe got up first, and with great difficulty, he also pulled up the half-dead Li Ao.
We went to the bathroom to take a bath together. Seeing Li Ao's meticulous way of taking a bath, Kobe didn't wait any longer, left "I will come back" and left first.
After taking a shower, Li Ao changed into casual clothes and trudged to a fast food restaurant to buy two burgers. He used the 'body physiotherapy function'. The discomfort in his body quickly faded away, and he felt hungry. He devoured the two burgers like a wolf. Down.
Finally, alive!
He looked excitedly at the rewards for 'excellent sparring' yesterday and today.
Yesterday, he prevented Kobe Bryant from 15 layups and 34 mid-range shots, with 20 achievement points for each layup and 10 achievement points for each mid-range shot, resulting in 640 achievement points.
Today, he prevented Kobe's 19 layups and 51 mid-range shots and scored 890 achievement points.
A total of 1530 achievement points in two days, the master is indeed a master, a super experienced baby!
Unfortunately, I don’t have time to train every day.
In addition to achievement points, he also has other gains.
He had never been one-on-one with such a strong opponent, and he understood the horror of an opponent of this level.
Under Kobe's terrible singles devastation, he had new feelings about single defense breakthroughs, shot interference, and basket shot interference.
He also received the reward of the training mission itself as 'excellent sparring partner'.
"Inspiration for mid-range jumpers: fadeaway +2. The host will quickly gain this part of the training experience when practicing fadeaway jumpers."
When Kobe Bryant shoots from long and short distances against him, even if it's a sudden stop, a step back, or a sideways shot, he will still be leaning back to some extent.
The reason why you have to lean back is because your regular shooting movements may be interfered with or blocked by the opponent, so you need to lean back to avoid the opponent's hand.
This is why Barkley ridiculed Jordan's fadeaway jumper after three consecutive shots as a 'pseudo fadeaway'.
Looking at the task of 'excellent sparring partner', Li Ao felt a little pained.
He specifically met with Odom, Greg Anthony and others for one-on-one training this morning.
This mission has been triggered a long time ago. The team's internal sparring mission is to serve as a sparring partner as long as you are a sparring partner. You will be given 50 achievement points. If you defend well, you will get 100 points. If you defend well, you will get 200 points.
He thought that the reason why this version of Kobe was not triggered before was because it was a one-to-many sparring match.
It turns out one-on-one is not working either.
In other words, you can only serve as a sparring partner for others? Or does it mean that there are certain requirements for strength?
Let’s talk about it then!
At the beginning of the season, the team's training tasks are tight and there is not much time to bring teammates to train together.
Even if teammates can only trigger internal sparring tasks, once they get to know more people in the NBA, they can just find someone to be their sparring partner during the offseason.
Moreover, isn’t there an afro with five-star reviews next door?
These two days of sparring were enough for him to digest for a while.
He sent a message to Jack, made an appointment for physical therapy in the evening, got up, went home, and cooked...
…
On October 26, the last game day of the NBA 2000-2001 preseason arrived.
At 7:40 pm, at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, the Clippers' away game against the Lakers was about to begin, and players from the two teams entered the court.
Kobe looked a little tired looking at the opposite half, his whole body was feeling bad!
He saw Li Ao in high spirits and playing some alley-oops with Odom!
What about that full mental state and that energetic body?
Suddenly, Kobe had an idea that he couldn't believe - I was tricked?
On the other side, Li Ao was excited because the 19,000 seats at the venue were finally full. Most of them were Clippers fans. The aristocratic fans grabbed cheap preseason tickets, but not the Clippers fans.
Although it was only a preseason game, but with this feeling of 'turning the tables', he approached Odom, the two lobbed each other, and played stewardess several times.
After venting his excitement, Li Ao looked at the players opposite.
During the offseason, the Lakers sent away Glenn Rice and AC Green, and introduced Horace Grant, a defensive power forward who averaged 8 points and 7 rebounds per game with the SuperSonics last season, to share the interior defense of O'Neal. .
After failing to trade Glenn Rice for Li Ao, the Lakers still gave him away because they used the veteran's minimum salary of $740,000 a year to find a treasure.
Isaiah Leder, the fifth overall pick in the 1993 class, averaged 20 points per game as a sophomore. However, the Timberwolves selected Garnett, a high school genius. They were afraid that Garnett would be spoiled, so the Timberwolves sent him to the Trail Blazers. team.
Last season, the 28-year-old Ryder averaged 19.3 points, 4.3 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game with the Hawks. Although the defense was poor, the Lakers still sent Glenn Rice away for a power forward for him.
Glenn Rice can't defend well at his age, so he's not bad. Anyway, they have Kobe, Fox, Fisher, and Ron Harper, so they have no shortage of players who are good at perimeter defense.
At least judging from the lineup on paper, the Lakers are stronger than last season.
The pre-match preparation time passed quickly, and the starters of the two teams came on the court.
Li Ao played with Greg Smith, Piakowsky, Odom, and O'Neal Jr.
Lakers starting lineup: Ron Harper, Kobe Bryant, Rick Fox, Horace Grant, Greg Foster.
Fisher fractured his right foot when he went to a bar. He is expected to be sidelined for 12 to 20 weeks. If he recovers well, he will be able to return at the end of the regular season. If he recovers poorly, and with rehabilitation, he may be out for the season.
O'Neal, this year he started to have some physical problems - he is overweight.
I sprained my shoulder on the 23rd and am expected to be sidelined for two weeks.
At 8 o'clock in the evening, the Clippers' away game against the Lakers started.
O'Neal Jr. easily beat Foster to win the jump ball, and the Clippers attacked first.
Greg Anthony advanced to the frontcourt, and the Clippers launched a tactical movement with the first goal of creating shooting opportunities for Li Ao.
It was Kobe who defended Li Ao. Kobe held back the fire and struggled to catch up with Li Ao who was running.
Li Ao ran back and took advantage of the screen to receive the ball from O'Neal Jr. from the left side of the three-second zone on the right side of the three-second zone. Kobe actually bypassed the pick-and-roll and caught up!
But the shooting action was already done, Li Ao jumped up, blocked the shot against Kobe, and took a mid-range shot... The first shot felt hot! The full-level 'Catch and Shoot Expert' is triggered, and the mid-range shot is temporarily raised to 91. 'Tracy's Elbow Pad (White)' is triggered, and the bounce of a shot without dribbling is +2.
Although Kobe jumped very high, the tips of his stretched out fingers did not reach Li Ao's wrist!
The goal was scored!
Clippers fans, who were in the majority at the scene, burst into violent cheers.
Their most beautiful prospect is Kobe Bryant!
The first time he guarded Li Ao, Kobe's heart ran through ten thousand alpacas.
Did you say you won't fight?
This big spider is a big liar!
When the Lakers attack, Clippers fans can boo.
Without O'Neal, the triangle offense only has one role, creating singles opportunities for Kobe.
The one who defended him was naturally Li Ao.
After two days of dueling, Li Ao already had some experience in guarding against Kobe Bryant.
He chose to cover Kobe's long-range shooting space.
Kobe broke through with a cross step and successfully passed Li Ao, but O'Neal Jr. moved ahead and guarded Kobe's attacking frame position, with Li Ao chasing behind him. Kobe did not stop, went deep inside, entered the area covered by O'Neal Jr., and separated the basket. Foster on the left side of the box.
Foster caught the ball and stepped out with his left foot, took off, and pushed the ball toward the basket with both hands..."pop"...
The fans at the scene burst into violent cheers again.
Tanhua Lang slapped Foster's ball out of bounds!
Kobe immediately understood as he watched Li Ao spread his arms like a giant spider to fly away Foster's dunk.
This guy, I don’t know how many times I’ve seen the way he and O’Neal work together in the paint, and when they chase him in, they’re waiting for him to pass the ball.
But that's not important.
The important thing is - Kobe confirmed it!
This bastard's physical recovery ability is stronger than him!
Yes, this is a genius who has very good physical strength at the age of 19!
…
Asking for a monthly ticket!
