I'm teammates with Kobe

Chapter 3 I want to single out with you
"What?" Kobe obviously didn't expect the young man in front of him to be so bold.

"Yes, I want to fight you one-on-one!" Chu Xiao said with certainty, trying to suppress the waves in his heart.

To be honest, he regretted the moment he said it, but when he saw the god-like idol standing in front of him, he was excited again by his bravery. What is the reason for practicing basketball so long?Isn't it just to show off in front of the idol, hoping to gain his approval?

Thinking about it this way, he didn't regret it anymore, and even hoped that Kobe would agree, because he really wanted to perform in front of his idol.

Kobe didn't know the mental activities of the young man opposite him, he only knew that this kid was really brave!
Kobe said unhurriedly, "Did you know? Irving was selected for the national team a few days ago. When we were training together, he put out a 5 bet and wanted to fight me one-on-one, but I rejected it with a smile. "

"I know this, it was reported on the news." Chu Xiao said.

"Yes, the media is always so fast." Kobe looked at Chu Xiao and said, "How do you think you are better than Owen?"

Chu Xiao understood what Kobe meant, but still thought about it and said, "Irving was last year's No. [-] pick and was selected by the Cavaliers. He is very talented. He is a skilled dribbler and has a big heart. I am not as good as him." !"

"It's good that you understand!" Kobe smiled and continued, "The media said that I rejected him because of unequal status. It is dishonorable to win, and shameful to lose. In fact, outstanding young players like you, in the league Every year, there are many people who want to challenge me to one-on-one, but I refuse, not because I am afraid that I will lose face if I lose, but because it is impossible to lose! Because I was born for 1V1, and I can fight one-on-one in my dreams. You understand me Do you mean? If I accept your challenge, I am afraid that you will doubt your life and even ruin your NBA career.”

It is not difficult to see from Kobe's remarks that he is the strongest person in singles.If he singles out and ranks second, no one should dare to rank No.1.Therefore, he does not easily accept the challenges of others, which is actually a kind of love for young players.

But Chu Xiao insisted on his own thoughts, "I just want to fight you one-on-one. If I win, can you let the Lakers get me through a trade? Because I have to sign a contract in two days."

"Hey, buddy, don't you understand what I mean? You can't win." Kobe smiled helplessly.

Chu Xiao became more determined when she heard the words, "How will you know if you don't try it! Because I just want to join the Lakers and fight side by side with you!"

Kobe was speechless.

The atmosphere fell into a brief silence.

After a while, Kobe still wanted to continue training, so he waved his hand and said, "OK, I know what you think, go back, as for the trade, I will tell Kubchak, if he thinks you have potential , even if the other party is Celtic, he will try to contact. If he thinks it's not worth it... Hey, you know..."

After finishing speaking, Kobe closed the door of the training hall and began to take off his coat to warm up.

At that moment, Chu Xiao felt like five thunders were hitting the top, his head was buzzing, and his heart was beating wildly.

"Looks like it's over, hey!" After standing at the entrance of the training hall for a long time, he sighed, calmed down, and was about to turn around and leave. He even began to think in his mind that he was going to report to the Celtics. , I’d better pack up my things and go back to China, and try my luck when the Lakers have a first-round pick next year...

At this time, a voice suddenly stopped me, "Hey, Viti is unable to come because of something, would you like to be a caddy?"

Chu Xiao turned around and found that it was Kobe, "Yes! I am willing!"

He hurriedly agreed, and his heart beat faster again, as if he felt that there was a turning point.

Chu Xiao was afraid that Kobe would regret it, so he quickly walked into the training hall, not daring to look at the environment inside, quickly did a few stretching movements, and then ran to the side of the basketball hoop, waiting for the ball to fall down at any time pick up.

Kobe smiled with satisfaction, and then devoted himself to serious shooting training. First, he hit 100 balls at zero angles, then 45 at 100-degree angles, and finally 100 at the top of the arc, and then the other side. 45 hits each for 100-degree angles and zero-degree angles.

It was already 6 o'clock in the morning after completing these projects. Kobe took a break in the middle of sweating profusely. He looked at Chu Xiao who was sitting silently by the side, and suddenly asked, "Boy, is that why you want to come to the Lakers?"

Chu Xiao raised his head and said firmly, "I don't want to come to the Lakers, but I want to fight side by side with you!"

"Haha, isn't it all the same?" Kobe laughed heartily.

"No! It's different!" Chu Xiao explained, "Because of you, the Lakers are the Lakers."

"OK, OK" Kobe stopped laughing, stood up and said, "Come on Chu, let me see your skills."

"What?" Chu Xiao also stood up and saw Kobe waving to him, "Don't you want to challenge me one-on-one? Come on, let me see how your skills are."

"Really?" Chu Xiao trot forward in disbelief.

"Of course it's true. I never lie." Kobe replied, "However, I can't use the big to bully the small, so our heads-up rules have to be changed. You attack with all your strength, and I defend. 11 balls. If you can get one in front of me, I'll let Kubchak do whatever it takes to get you."

"What if none of them entered?" Chu Xiao asked instinctively.

"Then go back to where you came from, and talk about it when you become stronger!" Kobe suddenly said seriously, "Boy, you remember, if you want to play with me, never assume if! Never! You know ?”

"I know!" Chu Xiao nodded firmly.

Not much nonsense, the heads-up began, Chu Xiao attacked with the ball at the top of the arc, Kobe dropped his waist and took a defensive posture.

I saw Chu Xiao holding the ball frame and approaching Kobe little by little. When he stretched out his hand to make a steal, he suddenly took a tentative step with his right foot on the same side, and the basketball in his hand turned to the right and down to pretend to dribble. After following the sideways, the right foot immediately pushes the ground to move to the left side, and at the same time, the right hand drags the basketball in the air to change the direction of the fall, completing the alternate dribble and changing direction, and is ready to break forward.

Who knew that Kobe was just pretending to turn his body to the side. After seeing Chu Xiao push his right foot on the ground, he immediately moved his body back, followed by retreating, blocking Chu Xiao's attacking route, and still kept talking trash. Said, "Haha, how could I be fooled by Iverson's famous stunt?"

After Chu Xiao's offensive line was blocked, the distance between the two sides was too close, and there was not much space for changing directions. If he continued to dribble, he would easily expose the basketball in his hand and be intercepted. In desperation, he had no choice but to choose a backward jumper. The same, plus the other party predicted his next move, although the height is very high and the back is strong enough, he still came out of the basket after being disturbed.

"The posture is beautiful, but unfortunately I predicted it." Kobe clapped his hands and said, "There are still 10 chances, come on!"

"Come on!" Chu Xiao also yelled, and then came to the top of the arc again, staring at the basket and began to dribble the ball quickly, sometimes under the crotch, sometimes behind the back. Although he is 1.96 meters tall, he is in the point guard It is relatively high, but when he dribbles, his center of gravity is very low. The two slender arms flip up and down like the tentacles of an octopus, interweaving to form a large net. The basketball is like a fish in the net. Son, no matter how you break free, you are firmly controlled by your hands, and all movements are extremely smooth, without the slightest confusion.

Even Kobe had to praise, "I didn't expect your dribbling ability to be so good, it can be said that it is no worse than Paul and Irving!"

This was originally a word of high praise, but Chu Xiao was unmoved. He took a step forward with his left foot this time, lowered his center of gravity to maintain a standing position, lowered his hips and raised his chest, using his left foot as the pivot foot, and continued to do it. Take a tentative step, make a big test and then come back. Seeing that Kobe didn't respond, he continued to stretch out his left foot to make a tentative step, but then his left foot didn't move, and his right foot crossed over with a big step.

As a result, Kobe remained unmoved.

"I don't know how to defend and step up. You can either shoot or continue to break through." Kobe stood there with a smirk and said, "I can see that you have studied my video very thoroughly and learned it well. , but these are the ways I am best at surpassing others, so how could I be fooled?"

"In this case, let's go straight to the next round?" Chu Xiao knew that in terms of offense, the opponent is the real offensive kaleidoscope. It is really not enough to win through skills in front of him. Many possibilities.

Thinking of this, Chu Xiao returned to the top of the arc again, preparing for the third attack.

Seeing that Kobe didn't press up, he immediately crossed left and right to dribble forward, and when he was almost in front of Kobe, he immediately moved to the right, took the ball to a 45-degree angle in the three-second zone, dribbled with one hand with his back to Kobe, and Constantly testing Kobe's center of gravity and force angle with his body, buttocks, waist, side shoulders, etc., he thought that the opponent would retreat to the frontier, retreat to the penalty area and then hit the top, so he can use his turn to directly attack the frame in the air.

Who would have thought that Kobe is like a piece of iron, no matter how hard he exerts his lower limbs, he will not be able to make him retreat a bit, this is a situation that has never been encountered in China.It seems that he is the same height as Kobe, but in fact there is still too much difference in strength.

If you can't stand it, then fake it.He steps his foot on the ball-handling side toward the basket on the baseline, doesn't pin Kobe, and that's okay!Pushing her butt lightly, Chu Xiao immediately felt Kobe pressing his elbows against his waist, then immediately stood up straight with both hands holding the ball, with his abdomen leaning forward slightly and his back leaning back, making a fake shot, trying to trick Kobe He took off, but Kobe was still not fooled, and his elbow was still pressed against his waist.

He couldn't move the top, he couldn't shake it, and he was about to walk when he dribbled again, so Chu Xiao had to hold the ball and shake it a few more times. With the pivot foot, he took advantage of the opportunity to make a super-high turnaround jumper.

The moment the basketball left his right hand, a huge figure rushed over, jumping almost as high as himself, but his bandaged fingertips lightly touched the bottom of the basketball.

"Bang Dang" sound.

The basketball hit the rim and hit the iron.
