super small forward

Chapter 272 272. Surprised
"Hmph, let's practice together later, let these two rookies see what a real one-on-one fight is. A rookie should know his own weight and train more, instead of thinking about one-on-one fights with the boss all day long!" The scruples hit the two little guys, in his opinion, Liu Ren was too lax with these two guys.

Kobe is the correct attitude of old players to rookies, or it has always been like this in the NBA.

LaVine is a young man that Kobe is very optimistic about. Kobe thinks that he should be tempered. Although Kobe doesn't pay much attention to that Clarkson, as long as he is a teammate and dare not work hard, he will kick him out.

Back then, Bynum grew into the league's second center under the pressure of Kobe. In fact, Bynum was a rather lazy and unprofessional player. Just look at his results after leaving Kobe.

After mocking the two little guys, Kobe went to the bar and took out his exclusive red wine, stole half a glass and tasted it slowly.

"Didn't you say you were going to fight me one-on-one? You haven't warmed up yet? Still drinking! And the wine is very expensive!" Liu Ren said stingily.

"I have a bunch of bar counters at home. You can move them here when you have time. It's boring for me to train at home alone. I think I will come to your place to hang out more when I have nothing to do, and supervise these newcomers. And I am old. The team doctor asked I drink a glass of red wine every day to improve blood circulation, can't I?" Kobe said in a tone of "I'm rich and I'm very rich", and incidentally stomped on the two young people.

"Actually, the two of them are still working hard. It's much better than not being able to put a little pressure on me at the beginning. At least now they can let me give my best. To be honest, if I single out the two of them and don't give my best I'm afraid that if I miss it, it would be embarrassing." Liu Ren still had a good heart, fearing that the two young people would be beaten badly by Kobe, so he encouraged them.

but!

Clarkson and LaVine looked at Kobe with admiration, as if what Kobe said was the truth!
In the eyes of the two, Kobe is so ruthless, arrogant and uninhibited, which is what a superstar should look like!

This is the same as children who like non-mainstream and think non-mainstream is handsome...

after an hour……

"Come on, let me see how much progress you have made this summer!" Kobe said arrogantly.

Liu Ren should attack first. According to Kobe's words, he wanted to let the two young people see what real defense is.

Liu Ren attaches great importance to Kobe's defense.

Don't look at Kobe being called the traffic commander in recent years, but judging from the data matchup after the game, Kobe's defense is actually not bad!
This past season, Kobe's defense was basically the worst in his entire career, but judging from the data of the players he was facing, Kobe still did a good job. Even in his worst defensive season, the players he defended made shots. The rate is only 30.00%, which is far below the average level.

He can't keep up, but he can make up for it in many ways. The interference with the opponent's outside shooting and the shooting defense after the breakthrough are actually good, but he can't defend against strong assaulters.

Moreover, when Liu Ren saw Kobe's small steps, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. Kobe's steps were much better than last season!

"Kobe, have you lost weight again?" Liu Ren asked curiously.

"Well, I've lost ten pounds. The team now has you and Kenta. It's not my turn to defend against the opponent's arrow. A lighter weight will make the offense more comfortable." Kobe spoke, but did not distract, Keep an eye on Liu Ren's footsteps and hand movements at any time.

Airtight!

Liu Ren felt a strong oppressive force from Kobe's defense, which he had felt in Tony Allen.

If you don't care about other things, just one-on-one, there are really few people who can compare with Kobe!And this is the 36-year-old Kobe!

Get past Kobe by technology?
Liu Ren looked at Kobe's defense without a single gap, and felt that it was impossible, so he chose to force it!

Liu Ren suddenly accelerated from the right side, trying to quickly get stuck in a position, and then go inside, but!

Just as Liu Renka went to Kobe's left side, ready to use his strength to knock the opponent away, Kobe took a quick small step back half a step, and then directly bullied him!

Although Kobe's strength is not as good as that of Liu Ren and James, he was known as a little Marlon when he was young!

Aging is a wonderful thing. As a person ages, explosive power and speed will gradually decrease, but static strength will gradually become stronger because the older the muscle is, the harder it is.

This is also the reason why veterans are often not afraid of post-up singles but are afraid of opponents with speed and explosive power.

Kobe directly withstood Liu Ren who was about to forcefully enter the inside line!

Shengsheng stopped within the three-point line in one step!

Liu Ren was surprised, but he wasn't surprised by Kobe's strength. Kobe was known as the Marlon when he was young. In the 08-09 season, the Lakers were able to double-kill the Cavaliers. , when he was young, Kobe was the one who could face off against the four power monsters of James, Pierce, Anthony, and Artest, and he was a shooting guard.

What surprised Liu Ren was that Kobe's footsteps were much faster than last season!It seems that this time is the real full recovery of health!
A bit older and a bit slower, but a fully healthy Bryant helps the team...

Liu Ren was forced to stop the ball!

After forcing Liu Ren to stop, Kobe took half a step back. He was afraid that Liu Ren would throw the ball directly to the basket and use his physical fitness to throw and grab himself.

The weakness of Liu Ren's middle distance is known to everyone in the league, and Kobe as a teammate naturally knows it all too well.

It's my turn to surprise you, too!Liu Ren came back to his senses and adjusted, bent his knees, and made a long-range mid-range shot!

"Kobe watch out!" Clarkson yelled.

But it was too late, or Kobe didn't react at all. Be careful, he saw Liu Ren use a beautiful mid-range spot-up jumper, and the ball fell into the basket through a beautiful arc.

This time it was really Kobe's turn to be surprised. He was surprised and pleasantly surprised: This kid actually developed the middle distance so quickly?This summer was not in vain!
Of course, Kobe didn't know that Liu Ren was there in the first place. With the training memory of his previous life and this gentle hand, as long as he practiced hard, there was nothing he couldn't accomplish!
Liu Ren looked at Kobe's surprised eyes with a little pride, but he knew that Kobe had indeed blocked the ball just now. If it was an official game, Kobe could steal the ball or interfere with passing the ball wantonly. I would be afraid of him throwing the ball directly to the basket. In official games, it is not so easy to shoot and grab from the outside. Those super outsiders have one or two such balls in their careers!
