You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 140 Is This What People Do? (410)

For the first time in his life, Wei Xia trained at 02:30 in the morning.

Normally he should be able to gallop freely in the old days, but now he can't do anything.It's like a walking dead working hard to mobilize a body that should be resting.

He picks up the ball, throws it, misses it.

How does a tired person react to a missed shot?Walk over to pick up the ball.

"Visa, you should really rest." The security guard was worried about something happening.

Wei Xia didn't think there was any problem. He looked normal. Even if there was a problem, it was Kobe's problem. Who told him to choose to come out for training at three o'clock in the morning?Who in a normal person would do this to win?

Having said that, in order to prove that I am more diligent, I live in the gymnasium, and even get up at 02:30 for training, which is not something normal people can do.

Wei Xia picked up the ball and said, "I'm fine, Peggy."

Peggy Nathan felt that Wei Xia looked more and more wrong, would he pass out on the spot?If he really passed out, whose responsibility is it?Damn, why didn't the security guard have the power to expel players back to rest?

It would have been outrageous for a stadium to be open to players 24 hours a day.

It is estimated that the management did not expect any player to be so outrageous.

So we can't blame the management for their lack of consideration, it's just that these two people are too evil.

"Why are you doing this?" Nathan persuaded, "Even if you win, it won't do you any good, and you will offend Kobe."

Wei Xia grabbed the ball with one hand and said, "Is he so stingy?"

"I don't know about it. When you first came here, you openly challenged Kobe in the first training camp you joined the Lakers. This is not a good sign." Nathan just wanted to coax Wei Xia back home, "You should know how much Kobe has paid to get his status today, and you are shaking it."

Wei Xia continued to miss.

"I just want to prove that I am more diligent than him, and I don't want to prove that I am more suitable to be the boss of the Lakers than him." Wei Xia jogged over to pick up the ball, "He will understand."

Time passes faster when someone chats.

Nathan was also worried that if he continued to practice like this, he would train himself to death.

No matter how vigorous the iron man is, he needs to rest. Wei Xia has been tossing for more than ten days in a row, sleeping less and less every day, and his body is probably overwhelmed.

The preseason training camp is used to adjust the state of the players. Weixia and Kobe are good, and the state is getting back more and more.

In order not to make himself sleepy, Wei Xia activated his body functions by shooting and running, just like soldiers in wartime, who tensed their nerves when they heard the gunshots.

This is very difficult, but in order to prove that he is more diligent than Kobe, no matter how big the difficulty is, he must overcome it.

Wei Xia overcame all difficulties and finally let himself boil.

He shot first, and then made a one-handed dunk from throwing and catching.

Even Nathan applauded after seeing it: "That's a good shot, Visa!"

"Did you watch the game, Peggy?" Wecha asked.

Nathan smiled bitterly: "I didn't watch the NBA until I became a security guard at the Toyota Center."

"Why?" Wei Xia didn't look at him and continued to shoot.

Nathan said it confidently: "Well, because I don't have the habit of watching the NBA."

"Because of CBS TV?"

"That's right!"

Nathan did not expect Wei Xia to know about this, "Your generation is lucky, and the games are watched in real time. Our era was miserable. Before the advent of cable TV in 1982, all NBA games were recorded and broadcast. You know, this is Los Angeles. The results of the game will be announced to the whole city at the moment the game ends. It is no fun to watch the recorded broadcast. Therefore, I am a loyal UCLA Bruins fan."

Nathan's words may explain why there are so few pre-80s NBA game tapes.

Because it is a recording, fans who are interested will go to watch it live, and fans who are not interested will not record it even if they watch the recording.

"I remember the first basketball game to be televised was a UCLA game?" Weisha asked.

Nathan became more enthusiastic, "That's right, it was the UCLA game. It was in the late 60s. UCLA won seven consecutive championships in one fell swoop at that time! This is unimaginable today!"

Wei Xia's understanding of that era came entirely from Havlicek.

Havlicek let him know interesting things about the 50s-60s-70s, and he himself was born in 1984, and he basically knew things after the 80s. Therefore, he unintentionally became a "doctor" who knew about nearly half a century of American history.

Someone to chat with, time flies.

Wei Xia was about to extend the topic of college basketball with Nathan, and the door of the gymnasium was opened by an insider with a key.

A person walked in.

No, it's two people.

One of them is Kobe who reversed Wei Xia's yin and yang and disrupted his biological clock.

And the other... Although Wei Xia has never seen a real person, he has read it several times in the newspaper and has some impressions—that person is Kobe's wife, Vanessa.

Seeing Wei Xia, emotions such as "What the fuck", "Is this true?", "It's all right" appeared on Kobe's face in just a few moments.

Then, Vanessa's noble image shattered into glass shards in front of Wei Xia.

She was rude first, and then said in disbelief: "Are the Lakers a bunch of lunatics? Why are there still people training here at this time!"

Surprised and angrily, she walked to the center of the venue, first glanced at Wei Xia, then at the old security guard: "Is there an old man training?"

Nathan embarrassingly reported his identity: "I am the security guard here, ma'am."

"Have I said it? There are no women here, no vixens who seduce me, I'm really just here for training, I'm the captain of the Lakers, and I want to lead by example." Kobe began to explain his recent abnormality, "Do you want me to continue to be laughed at by that shark?"

Wei Xia touched Vanessa's unkind eyes.

As is customary, he should introduce himself.

But Mei Chen told him that the British are always introduced by others, and it would be embarrassing to introduce yourself.He is not a face-saving person, he just thinks it's better to shut up now, he doesn't even know what Kobe wants to do with Vanessa?To prove that he really came to Toyota Center to practice while admiring Los Angeles at [-]:[-] in the morning?
"You guys are so crazy!" Vanessa thought at first that Kobe was doing some tricks outside that she didn't want her to know.

It has been two years since the Eagle County incident. Although Kobe compensated her immediately—with a million-dollar diamond ring—but that incident fell on her heart like a lump, which is why she wanted to follow up to find out.

She wants to watch Kobe train with her own eyes.

She didn't expect the Lakers to have such a training freak as Kobe, but there were others?
And came to the Toyota Center earlier than him
"Ma'am, I'm not crazy." Wei Xia argued, "I didn't want to bring things to this point. Kobe did it first."

Kobe didn't expect that Wei Xia dared to bite him back, and immediately told the story of Wei Xia coming to the gym ahead of him that day and saying "My efforts are above you" that made him angry.

Vanessa's eyes became unkind again: "Are you that Visa?"

"You've even heard my name?" Wei Xia said honorably, "I hope Kobe didn't speak ill of me in front of you."

"It's you!"

Vanessa said very dissatisfied: "It's you who caused our family to be restless for more than ten days!"

"what?"

"It was you who caused Kobe to run to this ghostly place every day without desire or desire!"

"not me"

"It's your fault that we haven't slept well in the past ten days, it's all your fault!"

Wei Xia was splashed with dirty water by his irrational sister-in-law. It seemed that he would not be able to clean himself without jumping into the Ganges River to remove the dirt.

But Kobe stopped the angry wife and said, "Actually, it's not all his fault."

Wei Xia nodded slightly, trying to agree with Kobe.

"He's at most 95% responsible." What the hell is Kobe talking about? 95%? "I've already forgiven him, baby, you can forgive him too. Although this man likes some rogues to pay back his debts, he is essentially a competitor. I respect his challenge."

"what sound?"

The Kobes heard a warning sound from the Toyota Center that sounded like an angry watchdog.

"I can forgive him, but you must explain clearly what you are doing!" Very well, it seems that Wei Xia has indeed committed a heinous crime, but Mr. and Mrs. Kobe have a lot and are ready to forgive him.

The sound of the suspected dog getting angry became louder.

Kobe told what happened, from the beginning to the end.

He left out the thing about him provoking Wescha for not trying hard enough, starting with the thing about Wescha bribing Gary Vitti to find out his training schedule and then showing up earlier than him the next day and taunting him.Besides, they competed all the way, constantly advancing the training time.Here Kobe did not hide anything, because there was nothing wrong with what he did during this period, maybe Vanessa will use this to remember why she fell in love with Kobe deeply in the first place.It is because he has four consecutive three-point shots and still firmly shoots the fifth shot of the Mamba spirit
Kobe kept talking until tonight.

Vanessa understood.

She walked to the middle and pointed at Wei Xia, "You provoked Kobe, and Kobe retaliated against you by advancing the training time, and then you spent half a month advancing the training time from 8:30 in the morning to 3 in the morning?"

"Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm" both nodded at the same time.

"Is there something wrong with you guys!!!"

Vanessa was furious.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Kobe continued to blame Wei Xia, "His problem is bigger than mine, and this guy arrived before three o'clock in the morning!"

"I didn't!" Wei Xia didn't say anything for himself, and Kobe and his wife really regarded him as crazy. "I didn't go back at all. I just slept here until 02:30 in the morning and got up for training!"

Kobe and his wife stared blankly, and Nathan had something in his mind that he didn't know whether to say or not.

The previous disputes could still involve being aggressive, and now they don't even go home to win, and just sleep in the training hall. This is a serious psychopath, right?Can normal people do it?
