Chapter 529(1/2)
529. Two monsters in one training camp
Kobe looked at Anthony contemptuously: "Melo, it's just you? You'd better rest and let the warden come, you're still far away."
When the onlookers heard this, they started cheering and screaming.
Anthony responded: "If you want to challenge Warden one-on-one, I can't do it. Maybe Iverson and McGrady can do it. You can at least lead the team to the playoffs first to qualify."
When the people around him heard this, their expressions were very exciting, and they cheered harder.
It's hard to talk about fighting, but when it comes to playing ball, provoking this man like this...
Coming!
The expressionless Kobe is here!
Kobe stretched out his hand towards the trainer, received the pass and walked onto the court. He said to Anthony who followed him on the court: "Boston style of play, one-on-one, shot or turnover in transition."
Anthony responded: "Of course I know, let's start! You make free throws. If you score, you attack first. If you don't, I attack first."
Kobe threw the ball directly to Anthony: "No, you go first."
Anthony did not refuse, said "go" and immediately launched an attack!
Kobe didn't lose his mind. He immediately pressed forward and confronted Anthony. Anthony had the upper hand. Kobe was struggling a little. Anthony took the opportunity to turn around and was about to pass Kobe. Kobe had quick eyes and quick hands and slapped the ball with his palm, causing the ball to lose control.
In a confrontation without the ball, Kobe suddenly exerted his strength, pushed past Anthony and grabbed the ball!
Everyone present shouted "KB8" loudly, it was amazing!
In the confrontation just now, in the static confrontation, it was a bit difficult for Kobe, who had lost more than ten pounds to carry Anthony, but in terms of explosive power, Kobe was even stronger than Anthony!
Defensive skills, timing, confidence and decisiveness in shooting... Kobe is much better than Anthony. Let alone Anthony, with such comprehensive strength, there is no second player on the field.
"It's my turn next." Kobe threw the ball to Anthony and ran to the top arc.
Anthony, who had just realized his mistake, heard Kobe's joking voice, immediately passed the ball to Kobe, and then directly pressed forward.
The onlookers, the number one parallel importer, said honestly: "You can't press on me before you start shouting."
However, Kobe didn't care, and took the initiative to push forward towards the pressing Anthony, turned around and faked to deceive Anthony, then turned around and rushed into the middle!
Anthony did not give up and turned around to pursue the defense. Kobe made an emergency stop inside the free throw line. Anthony rushed into the basket from Kobe's side and Kobe hit a jumper in one step inside the free throw line.
Beat up!
In just one round, Anthony felt the strength of his opponent, and this guy was obviously just playing around!
The day before yesterday, the three geniuses from the 2003 Syracuse University championship team had a dinner together. They mentioned this training camp. Liu Xiu casually mentioned that Kobe’s singles skills were great. What skills did he want to learn from Kobe in this training camp? Anthony was thinking about him.
His skills are no worse than Kobe's, right? He was called an offensive kaleidoscope when he entered the NBA.
Therefore, Anthony, who was unconvinced, came to Kobe for a duel at the end of the first training day.
After one round, Anthony felt an extremely strong sense of oppression when he saw the expressionless Kobe. When he ran to the top arc to catch the ball, he seemed to hear a "hiss..." sound, and there was a danger of being targeted.
Feel!
…
Best of three games, the team with the first 10 goals in each game wins. After two games, Kobe easily defeated Anthony 10-2 and 10-5 respectively.
Anthony said harshly, "I will definitely come back," and left in a hurry, looking for a place to lick his wounds, review the beating, and prepare for the next challenge.
give up?
It's impossible. Although Anthony doesn't have a tough character like Liu Xiu, after staying with Liu Xiu for a long time, Anthony will not choose to give up and will keep trying until he is 'certain' that he can't do it.
But one-on-one, Anthony doesn't think he can't do it, he thinks it's just that the time has not come yet.
The onlookers were very excited. Originally, everyone thought that Liu Xiu and Kobe would have a fight if they disagreed.
Every time the two play against each other on the court, it's like sparks hitting the earth.
It's a pity that the two of them don't like to kiss each other privately, which makes the good guys feel very regretful.
Fortunately, there is Anthony! It seems that Anthony will not give up for the time being, and the good guys are looking forward to Anthony's next challenge.
But there is one person whose mood is different from the others.
Nash: Are you kidding me?
Last season, Kobe Bryant was as strong as a tank, nicknamed Little Malone. On the defensive end, he could withstand James, Artest, and Maggette. He was also able to defend against the top speed guards who were not the top speed guards. On the offensive end, he could play both
He can also go to the basket and squeeze the inside to take advantage of him... Such personal ability of Kobe has already made Nash, a player of the same generation, feel that he is too strong.
Now Kobe is a little thinner than last season. When the trainer measured his weight yesterday, Nash saw it and it was 96 kilograms.
Kobe is not as strong as last season, but the strength he showed made Nash numb! Co-author: Was Kobe weighed down by his overly strong muscles last season?
After losing weight, my speed and flexibility have returned to their proper level, my physical strength is better, I can do more moves in a single round, my physical strength recovers faster in a short period of time, and I can perform technical moves with greater ease!
Just like the first round of a one-on-one match between Kobe and Anthony, Kobe was able to make steady shots after turning his back continuously and then making a pull-up, while Anthony turned around and chased after him after guarding his back and couldn't stop.
Exhausted, the difference between the two is obvious!
Looking at Kobe Bryant who abused Anthony to win one-on-one, Nash seemed to see the man he met when he last played for the Suns for two years - the god of the basketball world!
The frightened Nash was going to the gym to practice core training, and by the way, he also taught core training to an outlaw who asked for advice.
When the two came to the gym together, they saw Liu Xiu lifting the iron again.
Nash said in surprise: "The warden is really losing weight? When did he work so hard?"
The outlaw scratched his head and replied: "I don't think so. The warden doesn't exercise. As soon as he starts exercising, he can't help but want to express his energy. He feels that the amount of exercise is too little, so he comes here to lift iron."
vent."
"..."
Nash looked silently at Warden, who was sweating profusely in the gym, and listened to the laughter of Kobe Bryant who was happy after winning the one-on-one game at the training ground... If he had known he would leave with Ray Allen!
No, if I had known better, I would not have joined this crappy training camp and met two monsters at once!
…
…
Time passes day by day, and Kobe Bryant's training camp is in full swing.
They agreed to practice twice and take a break, but in the end, only Ray Allen and Liu Xiu were able to practice twice and take a break in a stable manner.
The excitement brought to Kobe by the final game of last season has not yet ended. After Kobe completely recovered from his hand and knee injuries in mid-May, he has basically maintained a frequency of 6 practices a week. The preparations for the past four weeks of training camp have just begun.
Time is full.
Nash also rolled up with Kobe. A warden, a guy with a sense of god, trained with these two people, and he didn't dare to relax at all.
Liu Xiu steadily practices two days and takes a break. After learning the training method, he also needs physical strength to simulate training. Concentrating the physical strength on the rest day to simulate what he learned in the first two days of training will also help with subsequent learning...
It's definitely not to show off your talent, and it's definitely not to show your progress after a day's rest in front of everyone.
However, the first two times he did this, it had a healing effect on everyone, but it was not so effective after that. Everyone had accepted this, and he felt a little disappointed.
After Anthony's training every afternoon, he would go to Kobe to torture him. At first he was unconvinced, but later on, he felt that he could learn something every time he challenged him, and he entered a masochistic mode.
He was also quite miserable. It was almost impossible to win in the best of three games. Once he won, Kobe changed the rules to best of five games that day...
Although Ray Allen took a rest when he needed it, and did not fight with the kings, but took a happy vacation with Liu Xiu, but he was pulled by Nash to watch the one-on-one match between Kobe and Anthony, and felt that Nash was the first
It was unbelievable to see the new version of Kobe for the first time.
Generally speaking, after everyone entered the training state, the overall atmosphere was good.
Ray Allen is willing to teach others when he has free time, Nash is very enthusiastic about teaching others training, and Kobe is willing to teach you as long as you work hard...
Besides training, Liu Xiu is also paying attention to the free market.
The overall runner-up Nets were very popular with veterans after Tracy McGrady completed his contract extension, but their recruitment focus was on blue-collar insiders with good physical fitness and willingness to do dirty work.
In addition to signing blue-collar insiders one after another, the Nets' next head coach candidate is also attracting much attention.
Crazy scientist Nelson expressed his interest in this position, and the two parties conducted friendly negotiations, but in the end the trip failed due to salary issues.
It was revealed that the Nets' other favorite was Phil Jackson, but on August 5, the Lakers announced Jackson's return. That afternoon, Kobe interrupted training and went to chat with Jackson all afternoon.
On August 12, the Nets signed another center, the longest mid-level contract of 40.76 million US dollars in 6 years, and snatched Joel Przybilla from the Timberwolves!
Przbilla played 76 games last season, averaging 24 minutes per game, scoring 6.5 points, 6.8 rebounds and 2.2 blocks. He is about to turn 26 and is in the prime of his career. After the season, the Timberwolves provided Przbilla with a five-year contract.
A lucrative contract of US$25 million per year was a very good contract for a white blue-collar center. Przbilla did not directly renew the contract at that time, so he wanted to give it a try in the free market, and it turned out that he got it.
A big contract!
Regardless of the more than 8 million in the sixth year, the contract of more than 32 million US dollars in the first five years is also larger than the contract provided by the Timberwolves. Przbilla can still escape the life of being scolded bloody every day.
Ask the Timberwolves if they want to match the contract and just choose to run away.
The evaluation of this signing that Liu Xiu saw was not as high as the evaluation of the Nets signing Diogu and Rebrasha.
The reason is that although Przbilla is not yet 26 years old, there is a high probability that the six-year contract will become a garbage contract in the end, because Przbilla has a very high risk of injury. Przbilla showed his performance in the second grade.
A top blue-collar talent, he got 1.7 blocks per 16 minutes. However, he only played 44 games in the third and fourth years due to injuries. Therefore, after the rookie contract ended, he did not even get a qualifying offer. He joined the Timberwolves with a minimum salary. Unexpectedly, he
Typed out.
