You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 194 The Superstar of the Angry World (814)

There are still four days until the next game starts.

Four days later, the Lakers will start a difficult schedule of 10 games and 8 away. The first stop is the home court of the defending champion San Antonio Spurs.

Until that day comes, you have to maintain the rhythm of training.

As usual, Wei Xia arrived at the Toyota Center very early.

During the offseason, other people only spent two hours of training sessions at the Toyota Center, but he spent five hours even without training sessions.

The staff at the Toyota Center always joked: "He made this place his home."

Today is the same. Wecha arrives at the Toyota Center an hour earlier than equipment manager Rudy Sidueñas every day.

Before Wei Xia joined the Lakers, Rudy described himself as the "most hardworking worker bee" in the Lakers.He may indeed be the most work-addicted employee among them.No one has contributed to the Lakers quite like Rudy, not even close to him.He travels to every home and away game, dealing with the biggest stars in the basketball world every day.

He has seen their greatness and their smallness.He is responsible for washing protective gear, socks, shorts and towels, making countless travel plans on the flower boat, and contacting the training venue for renting away games. He is probably one of the few normal helmsmen on Jerry Bass' colorful battleship.In many ways, Gaccidueñas and longtime trainer Gary Vitti run the day-to-day operations of this team from the ground up.How basic is it?When Phil Jackson later wanted to burn sage in the locker room to get rid of evil spirits, Rudy went out to find the sage.

Rudy is still small, stocky, goateed, and expressionless today, as wise and hardworking as ever.Although low-key.But he won't call himself "the most industrious worker bee" anymore.

Because there's a weirdo out there who earns a lot more than he does and travels to and from the Toyota Center even more than he does.

Wei Xia's training does not need Rudy's help, he only needs an unused court, a basketball, and a passer if necessary. Most of the time, he can spend a whole day on the court by himself.

"Since Kobe has become a superstar who can't freely control his personal time, no one on the Lakers has trained like you." Rudy said.

Wei Xia listened to his words and made a three-pointer.

The three-pointer from the top of the arc flew into the center of the net in the direction directed by Wei Xia's fingers.

"Some things have to be inherited." Wei Xia replied to him.

Rudy doesn't talk to him too much, neither of them are long-winded people.

After a while, Rudy walked away.

Kobe is usually free today. Because he lost to the Nets yesterday, he took 36 shots in exchange for 40+ points, but he only shot less than 40%.For this matter, he went home last night and practiced shooting for an extra hour on his home basketball court before going to sleep.

Today, he pushed off all the things that could be pushed off, only to free up one morning.

He got up earlier than Wei Xia, but it takes 40 minutes to drive from his home to the Toyota Center. Counting uncontrollable factors such as traffic jams and traffic lights, he wastes up to two and a half hours in the car every day.

Such a serious waste is a big deal for Kobe, who values ​​his time extremely. Someone suggested that he buy a private jet.If there is a private jet, his daily commuting time will be divided by 10 times or even more.Although the expenditure required is huge, it is not unbearable given his financial situation.Besides, if he can save the time he wasted to do things, it will be enough to earn back the fuel money for the plane.

Bryant's mind was filled with many strange thoughts, and when he walked into the Toyota Center, he saw that someone was sweating and panting.

"Isn't this the rookie who was blown up by Jason Kidd yesterday?" Kobe attacked those who dared to come to the training earlier than him.

Don't you have a basketball court at home?Why do you have to get the Toyota Center?

Kobe knew that Weixia's home was very close to the Toyota Center, so it was convenient to come and go.From this point of view, Kobe is more diligent than Wei Xia. Although he arrived later than Wei Xia, he definitely got up earlier than Wei Xia.

Kobe's verbal offensive made Wei Xia's three-pointer short, and he hit the front of the basket and bounced back into his hand.

Wei Xia held the ball and looked back at Kobe, "What kind of spirit is it to wake up so early after taking 36 shots in a game? I want to learn from you."

When it comes to other aspects, such as some offensive trash talk, Wei Xia feels inferior to Kobe.

But when it comes to yin and yang, children raised by British women and Chinese are not afraid.

"Learn from me? I am humble, I thought you got up so early because you were ashamed of being blown up by the worst aggressive guard in the league yesterday." Kobe kept reminding Wei Xia that he was blown up by Kidd.

Wei Xia replied while dribbling: "You are also responsible for that matter, and Jason Kidd is not the least aggressive guard in the league. Also, I get up so early every day."

That last sentence really surprised Kobe.

He stared at the equipment manager with wide eyes.

"The most industrious worker bee" nodded silently, letting Kobe understand that Wei Xia was not bragging.

Kobe asked: "You should have a basketball court at home, right? Why do you have to train here every day?"

The distracted Wei Xia conceded another goal.

He ran to get the ball back and continued to hit the top of the key, and no one knew how many shots he had already thrown.

His hard work mentality of insisting on shooting the top of the arc made Kobe speechless, and his inefficient way of not knowing how to ask someone to help pick up the ball made Kobe shake his head constantly.

"Although I have a home theater at home, I prefer to go to the cinema and sit crowded with a group of strangers." Wei Xia didn't expect Kobe to understand this feeling.

But Bryant understood, which is why he wasted so much time at the Toyota Center.

Training at home always feels like something is missing.

The appearance of Kobe changed Wei Xia's mentality. He couldn't concentrate on shooting and missed consecutive shots.

The practice of him constantly running to pick up the ball and then returning to the top of the arc to shoot makes Kobe's head big. The most important thing in shooting training is rhythm and fluency. Even if you have a shot, you need to maintain it.How to keep it?Let someone pass the ball.

Whether Wei Xia scores or not, he needs to leave the original position to pick up the ball after the shot, and he has to be transported back to the top of the arc to shoot.

Even when he's shooting well, those unnecessary extra steps can cause him to have wild ups and downs.

This means that it is almost impossible for him to maintain a continuous and smooth scoring touch.

How do shooters keep training?Persistence and hard work are the basics, but the thrill of consecutive goals, the sense of control of the shooting arc and the feeling of scoring are the reasons why they keep training for many years.

Although that kind of training is tiring, it is enjoyable.

And what Wei Xia did was boring, and there was no fun training at all.

"Can't you find someone to help you pick up the ball?" Kobe was just across from Wei Xia, and it was really unsightly to see him running around.

Wei Xia actually set his mind on Kobe: "Are you going to be this good guy?"

"Me?" Kobe realized that he was really daring, and wanted him to help pick up the ball?

Wei Xia said disappointedly: "Is it not possible?"

"What gave you the illusion that I would help you pick up the ball? I didn't ask you to help me pick up the ball because you arrived at the Toyota Center earlier than me today!" Kobe thought that as a veteran, he was still friendly to the rookies.

Wesha will prove it himself.

If you give the newcomer sunshine, he will dare to shine.

If you give him a compliment, he won't know how to count.

You think you have done a good job, but he still thinks you are not like a big brother.

"I'm sorry, I need to correct you a little. Since the day the training camp started, I have been the most diligent person on the Lakers. Since the start of the new season, I have not arrived at the Toyota Center earlier than you. And today is the first time you have appeared at the Toyota Center at this time since the start of the season." Wei Xia said with a smile on his face, showing who is he proud?
Kobe's aggressiveness and combative nature were provoked by Wei Xia's words: "Are you trying to challenge me?"

"In this matter, I have already defeated you once, and you have admitted my victory in front of the whole team. I don't think it is necessary to do it again. Since I am the most diligent person in the team, why can't you show your style and pass the ball for me?" Wei Xia's crazy demands and proposals made Kobe's limbs twitch with anger, the corners of his mouth trembled, and his heartbeat went straight to seventy, feeling that he might be stunned by the blood rushing through the door at any time.

Kobe gritted his teeth and walked up to Wei Xia, wanting to say something.

But Wei Xia's words were based on facts, and it would be difficult for him to refute them for a while, what an annoying bastard.

"Let me tell you, I won't help you pick up the ball. I pushed so many things and rushed here to practice to vent my anger at losing. Don't mess with me. I warn you. Let me hear a word about picking up the ball from your mouth. I." Kobe threatened weakly, "I'll make you go to the supermarket five kilometers away to buy water!"

Wei Xia asked cheaply, "How many bottles do you want to buy?"

Fortunately, Kobe is still young, does not have high blood pressure, and has no family genetic diseases that make him angry, otherwise Wei Xia would have to die of anger on the spot.

He now knows why Wei Xia can irritate so many people in the game.

It's not accidental!
This shit has focused his talents on irritating people, right?Why does it make people want to punch his head so well when the good words come out of his mouth?

"Don't be ignorant, bastard!" Kobe was unable to speak.

"Well, since you are not willing to show your style, I will not force you. I really can't expect the Lakers to have veterans who treat rookies well. You are no different from Smash Parker. You will only lose your temper and stare at us."

"You can say whatever the hell you want, just don't confuse me with that idiot Smash!"

Wei Xia held the ball with one hand and showed off his big claws in front of Kobe, "Then let's talk about picking up the ball?"
