I'm teammates with Kobe

Chapter 20 The Core of the Black Mamba
The schedule of the NBA is very tight. Each team has to participate in 82 games in the regular season. This will not only prevent players from having extra time to spend and drink, but also allow them to continue to maintain a good state through continuous competition and training.

Therefore, after the Lakers finished playing the Kings, they ushered in the challenge of their old rivals, the Spurs, only one day later.

But what made Chu Xiao and the others happy was that after the Spurs game, it would be payday, and the team would have two days of rest. Then they could take the opportunity to relax, and Chu Xiao still had a lot of personal matters to deal with. At present, he has asked Tracy to find a house, and he hopes to have a residence not too far from the training hall and the Staples Center.

In the early morning of November 11th, Chu Xiao took the earliest subway to the training hall as usual. Before he opened the door, he heard the sound of "frame" shooting from inside, "Who is it? You are so active , even arrived earlier than me!"

Chu Xiao pushed the door open while guessing who it was, and couldn't help saying in shock, "Boss?!"

The people inside heard the words and looked over, with smiles on their faces immediately, "Chu Xiao, come and train together!"

"Okay!" Chu Xiao closed the door, then ran towards Kobe blithely. After receiving a pass from him, he raised his hand and made a shot.

"frame!"

The angle is slightly crooked, and the iron is hammered.

"Tsk tsk tsk ~ this ball is really crooked." Kobe frowned and teased.

"I haven't warmed up yet." Chu Xiao moved his limbs while talking, and then asked curiously, "Boss, don't you come at four o'clock in the morning every day, and after training at seven o'clock, you go home to wash up, and then eat Come back to continue training after breakfast, why didn’t you go home today?”

"Boy, you know my training time very clearly." Kobe smiled and shot and replied, "Didn't we go to visit Nash with Zen master yesterday? We missed the morning training class, so it's okay if we don't go home now." To make up for it."

"Ah..." Chu Xiao stopped warming up and looked at Kobe in shock. The man in front of him is 34 years old. He has played in the league for 16 seasons and won countless honors. However, Kobe still trains hard day after day like a rookie who is eager to improve, even harder than any rookie, because he has never lost his strength. Even if I miss a training session, I will find time to make up for it in a self-disciplined manner.

"Boss, you are so successful and still working so hard, how can you embarrass us people?" Chu Xiao smiled wryly, but continued to warm up with his hands.

"Haha, you're not bad either. I heard that you are the first to arrive every time, and you are the only one in the team who takes the subway to train. Not bad, really good, I like it!" Kobe suddenly stopped shooting and replaced it with He said with a smirk on his face, "I heard that you beat Du Hong up yesterday?"

"Uh...haha, you know it so soon?" Chu Xiao felt a little embarrassed.

"What's the matter, good fight! These guys are usually lazy, and they just need to beat and beat from time to time to let them know where the gap is. Before you came, I abused them in the training class and beat them I can’t even shoot, I think I’ll leave this task to you in the future.” Kobe said seriously.

"No! No! I can't..." Chu Xiao was so frightened that he immediately declined, "And I'm just a rookie, so I really can't convince the public."

"What's wrong with the rookie, didn't you just prove with your strength that even a rookie can beat a veteran to the ground. Well, I won't embarrass you. From now on, you can just beat those who are about your age, such as Gu Derlock, Morris, Thackeray, etc., as for me, I will be responsible for beating you!" After that, Kobe stuck out his tongue, like a black mamba sticking out its core, which made Chu Xiao tremble, " Why?"

"For your own good!" Kobe smiled, "I watched your heads-up video yesterday, it seems that after a summer of hard training, you have indeed grown a lot, and you can use various skills more flexibly, especially the last few The ball and fake moves are all done in one go, which shows that you can continue to improve through singles. In this case, you must come an hour before the start of the team training session every day, and we will play one-on-one until one day until you beat me."

"How could it be possible to win you?" Chu Xiao said in despair.

"I also think it's impossible, so...you just accept my heads-up every day! From now on!" Kobe said and started to attack.

In the next nearly an hour, Kobe used all kinds of skills to attack, breakthrough layups, pull-up jumpers, lateral jumpers, fadeaway jumpers, cross-step shots, frontal step-back shots, drop shots and other face-to-basket attacks. There are low-post singles, back-to-basket breakthroughs, back-to-basket left and right fake moves connecting cross steps, back-to-basket hooks and other back-to-basket offensive skills. It was ten or a hundred times worse than when he bullied Du Hong.

An hour later, both of them sat on the ground a little tired, and Chu Xiao couldn't help asking, "Boss, people always say that you are very strict with your teammates, and sometimes you are fierce, but why are you so nice to me? "

Kobe thought for a while when he heard the words, and then asked, "Tell me first, why do you always call me the boss?"

"Because all Comeys in China call you like this. You are the boss of the Lakers, and you have led the team to win two championships alone. You have always had the heart of being the boss. This is why Chinese fans call you that. That is, no matter what the occasion, you have the responsibility and demeanor of the boss." Chu Xiao also thought for a while before saying.

"Haha, well, I like this title, thank you Chinese fans!" Kobe laughed again, and then answered Chu Xiao's question, "Actually, I have explained it in my new book published before, and my leadership style has never been different. Change, in fact, is to challenge teammates all the time and make them feel uncomfortable, because only in this way can they think about their own problems well, and then have the space and motivation to improve their abilities. And I am so strict with my teammates Sometimes, I will only be stricter with myself, and I will train much more than them."

Kobe paused and continued, "You have seen the reality. They are all afraid of me and always try to avoid me during training. Only you are not afraid of my strictness, and you are even more diligent than any of them. And you have a I appreciate the advantages very much, that is, I like looking for abuse, the more you beat you all over the floor, the more motivation you can get from it... Haha, I don’t know if this is an advantage, hey, you Do you have a tendency to be abused?"

"I..." Chu Xiao thought for a while but didn't know how to answer.

So, the two of them laughed at the same time.
