I'm really strong in basketball

Chapter 6 Bullfighting
Contact for calls: Kobe Bryant.

Kobe called himself?
Liu He hesitated for a while, and quickly connected.

"Rookie, are you still in the arena?"

"Yes."

"Then stay there and don't move... beep beep beep beep."

There is a busy tone on the phone.

Before Liu He could speak, Kobe hung up the phone.

What is this going to do?
Liu He was speechless.

He wanted to leave directly, but this would definitely offend Kobe.

If Kobe put on small shoes for himself, how could he survive as a rookie?

Helpless, Liu He could only wait.

Fifteen minutes later, a handsome black youth with a gloomy complexion walked into the locker room and changed into the No. 15 jersey.

This is currently the best-selling jersey in Los Angeles and the most popular jersey among fans.

"Newbie, let's have a bullfight!"

"what?"

The first time Liu He met Kobe face to face, Kobe actually asked for a bullfight. Is this reasonable?
It's a pity that Liu He has no right to refuse.

When he came to the court, Kobe didn't ask who went first, but stood directly at the top of the arc.

Meaning he strikes first.

Is it so domineering?No wonder your teammates don't like you.

Liu He complained.

Facing Kobe in an offensive posture, Liu He could only stretch out his hands to defend.

Kobe was taken aback when he saw Liu He's hand.

Such a long wingspan?Such big hands?

Kobe, who originally just wanted to vent, now wants to ravage his opponent.

Definitely not jealous of Liu He's wingspan and big hands.

The bullfight begins.

11: 0!

11: 0!

11: 0!

……

Or his 11:0!

Kobe Bryant let Liu He understand what a superstar is and what is a heads-up king on both ends of the offense and defense.

After an unknown amount of time, Liu He lay on the floor, almost collapsed.

You said that you felt extremely depressed, and even began to doubt life, knowing that sadness is always inevitable...

What is being sung is Liu He at this moment.

Really start to doubt life!
And Kobe sat on the floor beside him, looking affectionately at the basketball in his arms.

"You know, I haven't touched a basketball in months?"

So you're telling me that you can completely crush me even if you don't play for months?

Kobe's eyes were obsessed, as if looking at a lover.

Before Liu He could speak, Kobe said again: "During this time, no one from the Lakers has contacted me. I feel abandoned by the whole world. This is really difficult! You are the only one who contacted me..."

So that's how you repay me?

Liu He continued to complain in his heart.

But on second thought, Kobe actually confided his heart to a stranger like himself?
It can be seen from this that Kobe was really stressed during this period, the bitterness in his heart was beyond words, and he was on the verge of collapse.

Liu He obviously felt that Kobe was emotional, and he was waiting for Kobe's next words...

This guy calmed down, smiled slightly and said, "I sneaked out while Vanessa was asleep, now it's time to go back and accompany her."

Liu He finally found a chance, and replied, "If you really love her, stop doing secret things behind her back."

A sullen look appeared on Kobe's face.

Who do you think you are to teach me a lesson?
Now 25-year-old Kobe, holding three consecutive championships, is a top guard in the league, with boundless glory. It can be said that he is proud of his youth and naturally frivolous.

Shaquille O'Neal, known as the most dominant player in NBA history, couldn't suppress him.

Phil Jackson, who holds nine championship coaching rings, can't control him.

You are a little rookie, how dare you teach yourself a lesson?

You also take yourself too seriously.

Kobe was about to get angry...but suddenly realized that this guy was the only one who was willing to comfort himself in such a predicament. Kobe was actually very grateful to Liu He.

In an extreme predicament, any little help will be as warm as sunshine and magnified infinitely.

Kobe's thoughts became complicated, he was a little grateful to Liu He, but his arrogant character did not allow him to admit it.

In addition, he was at a young and frivolous age, and he couldn't bear anyone's lesson.

After being silent for a long time, Kobe inadvertently looked at Liu He's big hand, and just said: "You are the worst rookie I have ever met, you are so weak, I can beat you with one hand!"

Liu He had to admit that what Kobe said was true.

But now, at 19, he also has a temper.

"When I am 25 years old, I will beat you with one hand!"

Kobe laughed angrily.

Little rookie, where did you get the courage?
"Never think about it!"

Leaving the last sentence, Kobe left in a hurry.

……

In the next few days, Kobe still did not appear in the training camp.

But from time to time, Kobe would secretly contact Liu He to come to a bullfight before or after the daily training camp.

Because sometimes he needs to be interrogated by a judge, Kobe even made an appointment at four o'clock in the morning one day for time planning.

Liu He was miserable.

Every time there was a bullfight, Kobe appeared with a gloomy face and left with a smile on his face.

Only Liu He, who doubted his life, was left.

Kobe is a robber, he took away Liu He's happiness.

Liu He also knew that Kobe probably took him as a punching bag.

But he is not without gains. These days, Liu He's defensive ability is improving rapidly, at an unprecedented speed.

So everything has two sides.

People with a negative attitude regard bullfighting as torture.

Optimistic people regard this as a rare opportunity to train with the league's top stars and work hard to improve themselves.

10 month 15 day.

The Lakers' new season media open day.

Kobe finally made an open appearance on the team.

O'Neal, Kobe, Malone, and Payton took a photo together.

Malone occupies the C position.

Kobe stood behind Malone's left, O'Neal stood behind Malone's right, and Payton stood on the far right.

In the photo, Malone, Kobe, and O'Neal all showed happy smiles, and only Payton's expression was slightly reserved.

Soon this photo appeared on the Internet, triggering heated discussions throughout the NBA.

"Oh, this is a super lineup that I can't even dream of in my sleep."

"The remaining 28 teams, you can start preparing for next season."

"Mallon, you betrayed Stockton! You are a traitor."

"Lakers Championship!"

……

This super lineup conceals all the problems of the Lakers. Everyone believes that the outcome of this season is doomed.

Even Payton said in the interview: "We should be the first super team in NBA history!"

The ensuing preseason also illustrates this point.

Although the four kings have not had a chemical reaction and the team's cooperation is a bit bumpy, the Lakers still easily won all the games.

Subsequently, in ESPN's team strength rankings, the Lakers undoubtedly ranked first.

ESPN, which always likes to make trouble, dare not use this Lakers team to create topics, it will only make fans feel that ESPN's writers are big idiots.

The second is the Minnesota Timberwolves led by Wolves, Madmen, and Aliens.

The third is the defending champion Spurs.

The fourth is the Sacramento Kings.

The fifth is the Dallas Mavericks with five All-Star players.
