I'm teammates with Kobe

Chapter 32: Being Targeted by Warcraft
If it was normal, when Chu Xiao came to the locker room, he would first complete a set of shooting training warm-ups with Goodlock and the others, then do a little bit or two in the weight room to improve muscle tone, and finally eat something to replenish energy. Waiting for the game to start is also a habit he developed in the CBA.

When training this afternoon, Kobe suggested that he practice yoga, so he followed the latter to the physical therapy room, because there are physical therapists, trainers and masseuses hired by the Lakers. It is the first time that such a close-up reveals the routine of physiotherapy before the competition of the middle-aged division.

After entering the physical therapy room, Bryant met with Dr. Judy Seto first.Seto, who is of Asian descent, has served as a consultant for the Lakers since 1990 and as the team's chief physical therapist since 2011.To help Bryant improve his mobility, enhance his flexibility, and eliminate some discomfort, she focuses on his neck, shoulders, knees, ankles, or wherever Bryant thinks needs more attention.

"This process usually takes 10 to 15 minutes. After a long time, the muscles will become fatigued." Kobe introduced his opinion to Seto and introduced it to Chu Xiao.

"OK." Chu Xiao responded while lying down. He was asking Gary Vitti to help him stretch his body adequately.Vitti is the team's chief trainer and has been with the Lakers for almost 30 years. He is now focusing on Kobe, hoping to help him safely and smoothly through the 16th season of his career. And "squeeze" some potential from his body, and only help other players in the rest of the time, such as the current Chu Xiao.

There is also a neuromuscular therapist and two chiropractic physicians in the physical therapy room. They will assist Vitti to develop different physical therapy plans based on Kobe's body's response that day.

Kobe also cooperates with and enjoys this process very much. His current life is surrounded by cyclical and tailor-made various system treatments, which can allow the body to take the minimum risk of injury and exert maximum energy on the court .

After accepting Seto's individual care, Kobe soaked his whole body in ice water, lying on a massage chair and waiting for experts to come to "consult".

"I have been competing for 16 years, and this kid has traveled a lot!" Vitti said with some regret, "This is a difficult journey, a kind of difficult accumulation. If you have been to Maui, you will know it. Hana Highway? Dude, that section is not easy. Although there are beautiful scenery ahead, the process is not pleasant."

"It's really difficult!" Seto couldn't help but feel sorry for Kobe, "It's been 16 years, and he still wants to maintain a high level of state, not make do, but a high level! To achieve these , you need to pay day after day, and most people can’t do it at all. You can see that he has been soaking in ice water for longer and longer, which shows that his body is very tired.”

"Look at what you said, as if I'm very old." Kobe originally closed his eyes and let them go through the "all-weather process", but now with Chu Xiao by his side, he said to him, "As an athlete, the body It is always the most important thing. If I have a game that day, or other similar situations, I will find a personal trainer to treat a certain part of the body before rushing to the arena at noon. From then on, this set The process has already begun.”

Chu Xiao nodded her head when she heard the words, thinking, these are all knowledge points.

Kobe’s injuries are too numerous to count. With an adjustable protractor, experts can accurately measure the state of his muscles and ligaments in order to come up with the best treatment plan.

One hour before the start of the game, Chu Xiao left the physical therapist early. His whole body has been relaxed, and now he needs to practice shooting.When he passed by the team's locker room, his teammates were still chatting in the locker room, and the injured Warcraft seemed to have nothing to do, so he played tricks and imitated Kobe in public.

He made his teammates laugh out loud with one of Kobe's signature fadeaways, then began imitating Zen Master's accent, saying, "We can't leave Kobe alone on this island. Everyone knows he's gone. 75 years old! We must take him away!"

Although he took the team leader Kobe as the object of ridicule, the teammates were still amused and laughed. It seemed that they enjoyed it very much and didn't seem to care about the upcoming game.

"Hey, look who's here, Kobe's little follower!" After seeing Chu Xiao, the monster immediately attacked him.

Chu Xiao ignored him, went to his locker to change his jersey, and then prepared to go to the court to shoot and warm up.

Seeing this, Du Hong started to make trouble, "Howard, you actually used Kobe as the object of ridicule, be careful that someone will sue you!"

Warcraft naturally knew who he was referring to as the complainant, so he returned to the ranks of his injured teammates, then nodded and said, "I just want to keep everyone in a good mood, because the game is about to come, and there are three players on the team at once. The insiders are not allowed to appear on the stage. I hope that everyone will not be frustrated. Each of us must maintain a positive attitude and find fun. So, little follower, you are not allowed to complain, otherwise it will affect everyone's mood and offend everyone present. understand?"

In Chu Xiao's impression, Warcraft at its peak is undoubtedly very powerful. He is the only superstar who claims to be able to replace James alone. He led the Magic to enter the finals in a one-star four-shot mode. It can be said that guarding the inside line is a man who is the only one who can control the people. This left a very deep impression on Chu Xiao, especially after hearing that he became a teammate, he was even more excited. Incredibly, I am very much looking forward to playing a wonderful match with him.

However, Warcraft, who joined the Lakers, has been plagued by injuries. He has shown a downward trend since he was just 27 years old, and he seems to be no longer as brave as before.

Through further understanding, Chu Xiao learned that Warcraft had a very rich private life. During that time, he had a total of 6 girlfriends and gave birth to a bunch of children for him, which further affected his state and mood.But what made Chu Xiao admire him even more was his uncompetitive character.

The optimistic big boy appearance makes him always full of smiles, laughing and joking all day long, and likes to show off when he has nothing to do, even if the team loses eight games in a row. It seems that there is nothing in this world that can affect his happy basketball. People are not very comfortable.

But the team battle was imminent, and he might face a loss, but he was still extremely happy, and even made fun of Kobe, which made Chu Xiao feel like a clown at this time, so he left the locker room without paying attention.

"When the monster is over, he will definitely sue you!" Du Hong still did not forget to add fuel and vinegar at this time.

"Probably not, I've already said that, if he is sensible, he won't sue, because offending me is not worth the loss." Warcraft did not forget to tell everyone present, "You are all laughing, belong to Accomplice, no one is allowed to do too much, you all know it!"

Chu Xiao really didn't want to worry too much. He felt that this matter did not cause any real harm to Kobe. If he said that it created a gap between Kobe and Warcraft and became the fuse of the locker room, then it would really be real harm.

Therefore, although he felt uncomfortable, he refrained from speaking after thinking about it.

But this matter finally reached Kobe's ears. As for who said it, there is no way to know, and it doesn't matter, because Warcraft believes from the bottom of his heart that Chu Xiao did it, and only he is the most suspected.

From then on, Kobe became dissatisfied with Warcraft, and Warcraft held a grudge against Chu Xiao.

Of course, these are all for later.
