Chapter 607 607. Kobe Bryant Wants to Kill

Kobe has not played in the NBA for a little over 17 years in his life, and has played in the NBA for a little over 19 years, which means he has been playing basketball for more than half his life.

Kobe has seen all kinds of people in the NBA in his life. There are Van Exel and Eddie Jones who train hard to prevent a high school student from taking the main point guard position of the Los Angeles team. O'Neal Those who are naturally invincible but don’t like training make people (in fact, Kobe alone) hate them. There are Fisher who are suitable for being a brother on the court and not suitable for taking home to drink. There are Vujacic who are very focused and keen on training but talented. It’s not enough, but it’s admirable. There’s Lamar Odom, who seems to be cursed by a demon but still loves basketball. There’s Walton, who’s not suitable for playing basketball and insists on retiring to become a coach in his last 30s. There’s Pau Gaso. You just hit it off like a brother...

But Kobe wanted to scold him, but he had never met someone like Liu Ren.

Call him lazy, according to the statistics of team assistant Mark Madsen, Liu Ren's training time and intensity combined score the team's first, not only the training arranged by the team is strictly completed, but also built a training hall at home for additional training .

Not only that, but his physical fitness is very good. Of course, his physical fitness is much better. The development league has a lot of players who can't play in real professional leagues. Liu Ren is the kind of person who has the talent to display his physical fitness. genius.

Let's say he has a withdrawn personality, but he is always like a funny comparison. Many young Lakers players are afraid of him at first, but they are slowly annoyed by him.

Kobe thinks that such a person is the best successor, and he has thought so since Liu Ren broke out in 2013.

Serious training, good talent, gradually developing skills, shooting talent is exploding, and teammates respect him a lot.

However, Kobe found that this kid had no intention of being the boss at all. He repeatedly offered up opportunities for post-match interviews and exclusive interviews with famous reporters, but now he sneaked away nine out of ten times and didn't want to participate.

Not only that, except occasionally when there is really nothing to do, Liu Ren will never exercise the power of the boss, and seldom act as a boss to drive his teammates. I don't want to stimulate my teammates to kill each other at once, but I want to solve it by myself.

Liu Ren felt to Kobe like a close friend of his, the guy who possessed the top talent in NBA history, a talent that even Kobe envied, but he didn't have any good luck, and he didn't have a healthy enough body.

In comparison, Kobe believes that Liu Ren will definitely win more honors than that guy, or that Liu Ren, who has only played in the NBA for five years, has already won honors that the guy could not match in his entire career. Kobe thinks that such a person should Will be very motivated, such as usurping the throne to become the boss, such as claiming to be the strongest and so on.

However, none of these things happened.

This made Kobe very distressed, this kid is so strange!

In other words, how could Kobe understand the inner thoughts of a young Chinese otaku?

In fact, Kobe is also weird. Who would expect someone to kill him and take his position away?The entire history of the NBA belongs to him.

On December 12th, the Lakers Toyota Center training hall was preparing for the next day to play the Rockets.

The Rockets are very tragic this year, and Howard is not happy again.

If Howard is not happy, he will not defend. He will not be a top player. The Rockets will have no defense. Originally, Howard’s offense is not good. This season, he has only scored 13 points per game this season. He has no offense and no defense. , Grab eleven rebounds per game and hardly contribute.

When a team's strongest inside player basically can't make a contribution, a team is basically useless.

Just like the current Rockets, they haven't made it to the top eight since the beginning of the season.

So there is no pressure on the Lakers side. Today's training is just because they have rested for two days. They are afraid that the players will overplay.

"You are so lazy after training? Don't you discuss the game with the coach?" Kobe looked like he hated iron but steel.

"It's fine if you and Drummond go or not. I'm just a scorer, and I can't understand." Liu Ren replied casually.

If you don't understand, you won't learn!Kobe Bryant hates iron but not steel.

Don't be angry, the successor is chosen by himself, the management also asked his opinion, Kobe said he is not angry, this kid is still young, the kid in 94, he needs to be educated slowly.

"Your goal for your career is not to be a scorer, is it? Don't you have a little more ambitious goal?" Kobe began to be persuasive, and if he had a more ambitious goal, he would start to learn some things he didn't know now. Kobe used himself I got this experience from my own experience.

"Yes, I will win more championships than you, score more points, and become the strongest player. Of course, I will take you, an old man, to win a few more championships, and I will not abandon you." Liu Ren said with a buddy is not very moral expression.

"..." Kobe really wanted to slap Liu Ren on the face.

But Kobe held back, this is the successor he found, and he recognized it...I recognized your sister!

"Hey, Liu, you want to be the strongest player? That's cool, then you should learn more things, you should learn how to dominate the team, how to make your teammates more able to help you... ..." Kobe bit the bullet and continued to follow the temptation...

"Dominate the team? It's enough to have you and Drummond. Although you are old and useless, you are just a useless old man. You can still be a mascot. Don't worry, many people in our team are you Fans, you won’t abandon yourself to win the championship, and Zach is here, people say he is your successor, it’s enough to have them in charge of the team, I’m just a quiet scorer..." Liu Ren didn't see Kobe's eyes that wanted to kill someone, and said to himself.

Useless old man?Kobe's last rational nerve collapsed, he stood up and folded the chair in his hand.

"Kobe, what are you doing? You don't need to clean up the chairs, our team can still afford cleaning uncle...Emma...Kobe, what are you doing! Come on..."

Liu Ren was crazily hunted down by Kobe holding a chair...

This beautiful landscape is already the norm in the Lakers training hall, and everyone else habitually stops to watch, guessing whether Kobe is old and strong and has the upper hand in physical strength to catch up with Liu Ren, or Liu Ren once again avoided Kobe. hunt down...

……

On the second floor of the training ground, the magician was watching Kobe and Liu Ren with a smile on his face, smiling happily.

This is the first time Magic has stood in this position as the president of the Lakers, and the feeling is very different.

"Kobe failed to teach the boss yet again? He is really persistent! He is not afraid of being pissed off." Lakers team consultant Steve Nash laughed.

Nash is a training consultant for the Lakers. He is mainly responsible for guiding young guards and shooting. He is not responsible for other matters of the Lakers.

"Some people are born to want to be the boss, and some people are born to only want to be great but don't have the mentality to be the boss. Kobe and Boss are two people with completely different personalities. To be honest, I don't know how the two of them can get along. Together, but it's fun, isn't it?" The magician shrugged helplessly.

The unified opinion of the current management of the Lakers is that Liu Ren is the face of the team in the future, and it may be like this for at least ten years in the future. The Lakers want and are confident that Liu Ren will stay with the Lakers for a long time and sell shares to Liu Ren. Ren also has this aspect in mind.

"But the boss doesn't seem to have the mentality of being the boss. If Kobe doesn't want to play and retire in two years, and the team doesn't have a leader, this may be a hidden danger." Another team consultant of the Lakers, Robert Pelinka said.

Unlike Nash, who can see this matter as an outsider, Pelinka is an advisor to the Lakers on player introduction and trading. He is temporarily responsible for the evaluation of draft rookies and free agents and the evaluation of transaction value, and he is one of the team's shareholders. More than [-]% of his net worth has been invested in the Lakers, and he is completely in the game.

"This is really a problem. Kobe is on the team, everyone is headed by him, but Kobe is almost 38 years old, just like I met Kareem Abdul-Jabbar when I joined the team. 32 years old, Kobe was 33 years old when the boss joined the team. It has been almost 5 years since the boss joined the team, and he has not yet become the boss of the team. I think it is because the boss has not been coached by Brown and D'Antoni in the first two years. That's why it took so long." The magician analyzed.

"Yes, if Kobe is two or three years younger, he can wait until the boss has the desire to be the boss, but the feedback I got from Kobe is that he may not play for too long, the boss and most of us The young players are about the same age, if they don’t take advantage of Kobe taking away the boss position from Kobe, they won’t be able to inherit Kobe’s prestige, I’m worried that after Kobe, the players will fall into infighting.” Pelinka said worriedly.

The magician nodded, and that was what he was worried about.

"This... I think you are worrying too much." The general manager Kupchak finally spoke.

Magician and Pelinka looked over curiously, but Nash was not worried or curious at all.

"This Steve should know that most of the players in our current team, especially those who are the starters and the main players, are almost all the helpers chosen by the boss himself, including Zach, Drummond, Ha Sang, the three strategic cores of our future plans, and even Giannis are the helpers the boss wants. Before they came to our team, they didn't do well, so we only paid a small price for them. In exchange, they may respect Kobe the most, but if it is said that the person they agree with the most in the team may not be Kobe, but the boss." Kupchak explained.

Nash also smiled and said: "I think Mitch's words are right. I think Drummond, Zach, and Hassan can all accept the matter of assisting the boss. As for Kobe chasing the boss all day long...I think...he You want to play the game of being robbed and then snatched back..."

Nash's idea is a bit different, but the other three thought of Kobe's enigmatic character, and felt that what Nash said was quite reasonable!
……

……

Ellie and the Old Man Time Tavern...

This is the third time for Liu Ren to come to this tavern in Los Angeles where he owns shares. Because he hasn't seen a home game in the tavern for half a month, there is finally a home game to watch the next day. Some fans who bought tickets Or fans who bought season tickets last season and bought season tickets for this season will come here to show off, and some fans will come here to make an appointment to watch the game together tomorrow. The whole process is broadcast live.

There are also some people who come here to drink simply because of the simple decoration style here, and are affected by the environment here, and gradually become Lakers fans and come here habitually.

None of these people could have imagined that the person they discussed the most would be "pick-up" in the private room of the tavern's exclusive tavern owner.

"Cool! Boss, this is the chain bar you opened? I heard that the market value of this chain bar has reached 10 billion!" LaVine said enviously.

"I just have a little share. How can I get so much money and time to do this?" Liu Ren explained.

"So that's the case, boss, which shareholder are you? If the shares are too small, those bartenders should not know that you are a shareholder, and they won't call you Director Liu." Lavin was still very curious.

"Uh...my shares should be the second largest." Liu Ren blushed a little as he said.

Liu Ren only found out today that he has a new title, which is Liu Dong.

This Ellie and Time Old Man tavern has branches in 29 cities in North America, and this year it is not limited to only establishing the theme tavern of the Lakers. After two years, although the income of each tavern is still rising, the traffic is also increasing. It is still rising, but it has begun to slow down, and the room for improvement is limited, so the girl named Ellie started to build themed pubs for each team in the local area of ​​these teams, relying on these teams in the local Huge influence and popularity attract customers.

Because of the existence of this kind of fan club, it will enhance the team's popularity and cohesion in the local area, and it can also accumulate more popularity like the Lakers. Those local NBA teams also agreed, and Ellie only spent a little The money bought the right to use the tavern image of those teams.

In just two years, the expansion has continued, and because Ellie's family has money and does not need financing, Liu Ren has become the second largest shareholder of this chain of taverns with the little money invested. In fact, besides Ellie, only Liu Ren As a shareholder, Liu Ren became the only director other than the president in these taverns, known as Liu Dong.

When Liu Ren came here with Lavin, Harden, and Thackeray just now, the bartender called Liu Ren Liu Dong, which scared the three of them. Liu Ren is actually a chain with a market value of one billion dollars. The owner of the tavern brand, this one billion dollars can buy most of the shares of a weak NBA team and become a big boss like Jordan!
"What a cool boss! You are the second boss? And you said you have no money!" LaVine was very upset.

Liu Ren chooses to ignore Lavin. Speaking of which, Lavin said that Liu Ren still has a little bit of vanity satisfaction, so it is better not to mention the matter of only holding 5.00% of the shares.

Liu Ren received Harden today purely because Harden, the second-bibi, recently said on Twitter and Facebook how depressed and troubled he was. Fans speculated that he was seeking comfort because of his poor record, and then Liu Ren brought Thackeray, who has the best relationship with Harden on the Lakers, came here with LaVine.

Sure enough, Harden has been depressed because of his record and the locker room problems caused by Howard. There is no way, now he is ranked tenth in the West, and he can't play happy basketball anymore!

But Liu Ren was worried about Harden for nothing. When Harden's big butt friend Thackeray started the topic of "Who has the most attractive butt in Hollywood", the two big butt lovers huddled in a corner of the private room , flipping through something indescribable while holding the phone and making a weird laugh.

Well, Liu Ren thinks this is not bad, originally he invited Harden out for a drink just to let Harden divert his depression caused by a bad job, but now the result is great, isn't it?

But thinking of Harden, Liu Ren thought of Howard.

Speaking of which, Liu Ren is still grateful to Howard to a certain extent. In the last few games of the 2012-2013 season, Liu Ren laid the foundation for being valued by the Lakers. Yu Wei, Liu Ren produced very good statistics and attracted the attention of some teams. In the end, Liu Ren got the current contract that surpassed the middle class, and then he had the opportunity to play his current worth.

Although it is said that he will shine wherever he is capable, but in the end Howard helped Liu Ren. Liu Ren feels very regretful that Howard can hardly survive in the Rockets now.

But Liu Ren just regretted it. Everyone chooses their own path, and the final result can only be borne by themselves. Moreover, Howard is not without strength. After all, it is the end of the world for centers, except for Whiteside, Anthony Davis, These centers like Gasol are better than Howard in terms of record, statistics, and role. Although the other young centers have good statistics, they cannot be said to stabilize Howard. Even if Howard leaves the Rockets, he must be at the top salary level. There is no need to worry about Liu Ren, who is still a little bit more middle-class guy.

"Boss, let's go to the West Hollywood nightclub in a while. I heard from Robert that there are many new hot girls there. Do you want to go together?" In front of Ren.

"Get out! I brought you here to relax! I didn't bring you here to fuck!"
