Chapter 137 My Diligence Is Above You (110)

On the second day of the training camp, Wei Xia chose to go to the Toyota Center at 08:30 in the morning.

His training time has always been relatively regular, neither too early nor too late.

During the training camp, the Toyota Center is open all day, and only the security guards are there in the early morning. If the players want to stay overnight for training, it is also allowed, but they still have to arrive on time to complete the training session the next day.Therefore, no one will deliberately stay in the training hall all night in order to show their diligence.

Only by maintaining a good schedule can we have high-quality training.

When Wei Xia arrived at the Toyota Center, the security guards and staff all greeted him.

He also nodded to everyone who greeted him. He entered the locker room first, found it neat and tidy, and thus determined that he was the first person to enter the Toyota Center.

Speaking of the first one, he remembered the story that happened in the old time last night.

It was a really impressive night for him.

On the opening day of the Celtics training hall, the local media in Boston asked Bill Russell with a microphone: "More and more Bostonians are dissatisfied with the fact that there are many niggers in the Celtics manpower. What do you think?"

As a person from the future, or from a time when people other than blacks told blacks that Neko would be beaten, criticized, and in serious cases, he would die directly in society. It was unbelievable for him to hear reporters asking such questions.

Russell, who has been actively participating in the campaign to eliminate racial discrimination, did not act excessively. He did not hear people with a different skin color from him like black people decades later, and he turned his face like a crazy husky.

He replied in a cool way: "It's okay, we just play for each other."

Thinking of this, Wei Xia was excited.

The old times not only changed his life, but also increased his life experience. He never lived in the 50s-60s-70s, but now he has the opportunity to appreciate the style of the old times through Havlicek's eyes.

Wei Xia approached the gymnasium and heard the sound of hitting the ball, followed by the sound of shooting the ball across the center of the net.

someone is coming?

He walked in with curiosity, and suddenly found that the man who hurt his self-esteem yesterday was practicing shooting.

The person in charge of passing and picking up the ball for him is Gary Vitti, the Lakers' meritorious trainer.

The history of this person playing for the Lakers can be traced back to 1984. Pat Riley personally took him from the University of Portland, and he has therefore cultivated generations of Zijin Lakers stars.

The magician is his best friend, and Byron Scott, James Worthy and others are all his friends.

From the 80s to the 90s, and then to the 00s, he has accompanied the Lakers through three eras and experienced many superstars.

Seeing that Kobe was earlier than himself, Wei Xia was instinctively disgusted.He didn't feel disgusted when he saw that Kobe was earlier than him, but he found that Kobe was better than him but put more energy into the training ground.

It made him feel like he wasn't doing enough.

He didn't show it, and stood alone on another pitch to warm up.

Another trainer, Rudy Garcidueñas, walks up.

Wei Xia asked him to help him train.

Garcidueñas nodded, he was in charge of the pass, and Versia practiced shooting like Kobe.

Compared with Kobe's accuracy, Wei Xia's shooting is obviously biased.

His mid-range shots can only be shot head-on, and he prefers to wipe the board on the left and right sides. He is also accurate at the top of the arc in terms of three-pointers, and there are no bright spots in the other points.

What annoyed Wei Xia even more was that every time he missed a shot, he heard a harsh swish from Kobe's side!
His mentality was fluctuated and he continued to fail.

"Visa, control your breathing rate." Garcidueñas could see that Wei Xia was not paying attention.

Wei Xia asked: "Is Kobe so early every day?"

"It's ashamed to say that since he came to the Lakers, I haven't woken up earlier than him one day." Garcidueñas said regretfully, "I come here every day with anticipation, hoping that I will be the first person there, but I can always hear someone dribbling and shooting in the Toyota Center."

Wei Xia has heard enough about Kobe's diligence.

In high school, Kobe was the hardest-working player at Lower Merion High School for four consecutive years, but he was also the one with the best talent.

When he came to the Lakers, it turned out to be the same.

"Do you have a fixed time to get up every day?" Wei Xia asked.

Garcidueñas nodded and said with a smile, "Yes, I arrive around nine o'clock every day, which is about the same as you."

In other words, as long as Kobe comes to the Toyota Center at around eight o'clock every day, he can be the first person to arrive at the scene.

"Let's go on," said the trainer.

Wei Xia obeyed, and later the trainer discovered that Wei Xia was not inattentive, but unstable.

As far as shooting is concerned, there is really a lack of stability.

"Although your shooting action is very good, if you have been unable to shoot correctly, maybe it is better to change your shooting action." Gaxiduenas said his opinion.

Wei Xia responded and continued to vote. After an hour, there were still only Wei Xia and Kobe in the Toyota Center.

"knock off!"

exclaimed Vitti, the old trainer.

"It's just a warm-up," Bryant said, grabbing a towel to wipe off his sweat.

"With 1000 mid-range jumpers in a row, normal humans wouldn't warm up like you, Kobe." Vitti laughed.

When Kobe walked past Wesha's field, the latter missed the ball again.

Of course he wants to give advice.

Kobe thinks it is necessary for him to point out newcomers: "Your skills are far behind mine, but your training requirements for yourself don't seem to be high enough."

Wei Xia replied, "What do you want to express?"

"Obviously, you have great talent, but I hope (Wish) that your talent will be fulfilled one day." Kobe said leisurely, and walked into the weight room.

Thanks to Kobe, Wei Xia still had a shooting percentage of 70% before, but as soon as he finished speaking, it dropped to 64%.

"Does he want to say that I am not as hardworking as him?"

When Weixia finished throwing 1000 pitches, many people came to the Toyota Center.

It didn't occur to Quassidueñas that he was still thinking about it.

"Maybe." The trainer thought that Wei Xia had already worked very hard. "I don't think you are lazy. Except for Kobe, no one in the Lakers can say that they work harder than you."

"Hehe." Wei Xia smiled wryly, "The problem is that the only man who can say that he works harder than me, he will say. And again and again, I think I have to do something."

Quacidueñas laughed, "Then what do you want to do?"

His expression of watching the show is really annoying, but what's a pity is that Wei Xia doesn't have the bad habit of being asked questions but not answering them.

He replied: "Work harder than him."

Then, the good man who had already made gold in Wei Xia's heart-Gassiduenas laughed more violently than before. His smile proved that he did not believe that Wei Xia could be better than Kobe.

Maybe he thinks it's not enough to express with laughter alone.

Therefore, after spending a lot of effort to stop his laughter, he shook his head* like swallowing a catty and said: "Absolutely impossible!"

"Nothing is impossible," Wei Xia said.

"I bet you, it's impossible!"

Wei Xia asked, "What are you betting on?"

"...Just bet on your food coupons for the next month, how about it?" the trainer Lion asked loudly.

NBA teams will distribute food vouchers to employees in the team, and expenses within the amount stipulated by the vouchers can be reimbursed.

The Lakers are not the richest team, but they are one of the teams with the best welfare in the team.

They hand out food vouchers according to the specifications of the front office, coaching staff, staff, fringe staff and players.

Each player can receive food vouchers worth up to $300 a day.

With 15 registered players per team, that works out to be a lot of money.

"I think it's feasible, but it's not fair," Wei Xia is not stupid. "The amount of food vouchers for trainers is only 1/2 of that for players."

Garcidueñas has figured out a countermeasure to get the best of both worlds.

He also had to lose out to Wesha one month of food vouchers and an extra check worth $4500.

Their bets were finally even.

Next, the discussion revolves around what counts as a win and what counts as a loss.

Wei Xia believes that before the end of the training camp, as long as Kobe believes that there is someone in the training camp who is more diligent than him, he will win.

Garcidueñas didn't think Bryant would do that, so he agreed.

"You're going to lose." Garcidueñas seemed to see the day when he won a big victory, "Kobe will never admit that there is someone on this team who is more diligent than him."

Wei Xia only believes that nothing is absolute, and Shark also thinks that the Bass family will obediently offer the maximum salary when the contract expires. Who wouldn't want a dynasty center with three consecutive championships?The result is not to say send it away.

With the Lakers, nothing is impossible.

In order to win big, Wecha bought Kobe's trainer Gary Vitti.

The price is not big, just $5000.

He figured out Kobe's daily practice time.

"Do you know you're starting a war?" Vitti asked playfully when he gave Wei Xia Bryant's training plan.

"Gary," Wesha said confidently, "I like war."

Vitti wished him luck and secretly looked forward to the rest of training camp.

Since the Sharks left, no one on the Lakers dared to challenge Kobe.

Wei Xia actively completed the day's training and played another game in the old days.

Still a game against the New York Knicks.

In that game, Russell scored 22 points and 40 rebounds, and Weisha counted 14 blocks one by one.What a maddening beast!

The next day, Wei Xia got up at 07:30 and drove away without saying hello to his family.

Driving with one hand and eating a curbside beef sandwich with the other, he arrived at the Toyota Center at exactly 8:11 a.m.

Empty!Empty!
"Whoa~~~!!"

He excitedly ran ten laps around the court to warm up his body, and then began shooting drills.

When I am in a good mood, I can even shoot smoothly at the shooting points that I am not good at.

At 8:30, Bryant arrived at the Toyota Center just in time to watch Wesha occupy the court he used often to shoot.

Swish!
Sweat fell from Wei Xia's body to the ground.

He found Kobe behind him, maybe he was too complacent, and he even forgot the thing that Mei Chen taught him to be humble when going out since he was a child.

He even said: "My diligence is above yours, Kobe."
