NBA: The start beat Kobe Bryant in his old age

Chapter 80 The Windy City Rose: Derek Rose
Lin Tian didn't reply to Kupchak in the text message. It's better to talk about this kind of thing in person after returning to Los Angeles.

The bargaining chips on the Lakers side are only some potential rookies plus first-round picks.

After getting up, it is another half day of regular training.

After training at noon, they went to the hotel for dinner, and then Nick Yang took Lin Tian around the Bradley Center.

The Milwaukee Bucks are a team with a long history, but their last championship was more than 40 years ago.

Lin Tian is most impressed by the team member Ah Lian.

UAE once participated in the draft in 07 and was selected by the Bucks with the sixth overall pick.

It was only later that he moved to the Nets, Wizards and Mavericks, and his career was quite tortuous.

Now that the UAE has returned to China to play in the domestic league, and has performed well, the NBA is already interested in him.

Lin Tian saw Dayao's jerseys for sale at the Toyota Center Arena before, but he did not see the UAE's jerseys at the Bucks' official flagship store.

The contributions of the two to the team are indeed different.

After returning to the training hall in the afternoon, he continued to train in a hurry.

In order to keep everyone in a competitive state, we also played an intra-team match today.

Kobe's state today is relatively average, and he has hit the iron many times.

Lin Tian's performance is still very stable.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the training was over, and the group returned to the hotel to eat a nutritious meal.

There was no need for training in the evening, Lin Tian was planning to go back to his room to watch tonight's game, when Nick Yang stopped him: "Hey! Lin! I'll take you to play!"

"where to play?"

"Where else can I go, of course it's near Lake Michigan! There are many things to do there."

Milwaukee is located on the west shore of Lake Michigan, one of the five Great Lakes in the United States.

There is still a game tomorrow, Lin Tian has so much leisure time, he just shook his head and refused: "I want to watch the Bucks game tonight."

Tonight at eight o'clock, the Bucks will face the Bulls at home.

In other words, the game between the Bucks and the Lakers tomorrow night will be a back-to-back game for the Bucks.

As the Lakers' opponent tomorrow, Lin Tian just wants to study the Bucks' tactics tonight.

"Hey hey!" Nick Young patted Lin Tian on the shoulder, "Dude, you need to understand a truth, life is always bigger than basketball."

Russell on the side also looked at Lin Tian with expectant eyes. He and Nick Young often hang out together.

Lin Tian still refused: "But now I only have basketball in my mind."

Nick Young wanted to say something, but when he saw Kobe approaching in the distance holding a box lunch, he turned and left resentfully.

Lin Tian wanted to study his opponent, but he didn't think so much. He finally came to Milwaukee once, so what if he didn't go chic.

When Kobe walked next to Lin Tian, ​​Nick Young, Russell and Nance Jr. had already walked away.

Kobe asked, "Aren't you going out for a walk with them?"

Obviously, he also knew that the three guys had gone fooling around.

"No, I still prefer watching football."

"Haha! Great! Let's go!"

……

Both of them lived on the tenth floor of the hotel. When they came to the tenth floor, they happened to bump into some Bulls players.

The best hotel near the Bradley Center is here, and other team members who come to play away games also basically live here.

These Bulls players include Jimmy Butler, Pau Gasol, and Derrick Rose.

Kobe and his old teammate Gasol met, and the two couldn't help hugging each other excitedly before they said anything.

Seeing this scene, Lin Tian couldn't help but sigh.

The Lakers won two championships in the 08-09 and 09-10 seasons. Pau Gasol can be said to be Kobe's most reliable teammate.

In 14, the Lakers also wanted to take the initiative to renew the contract with Gasol, and offered a high salary that other teams could not offer.

But Gasol chose the Bulls. This matter has still left many fans incomprehensible.

Maybe it's enough of the Lakers' poor record and wants to return to a more competitive team, or it's other reasons.

All in all, he and Bryant have been separated for more than a season.

When old friends met, Lin Tian thought it was enough for them to hug for a while.

But the two hugged for a long time and did not intend to separate, which made Lin Tian laugh involuntarily.

Gasol, who is affectionately called Jiasao by Tianchao fans, has an extraordinary relationship with Kobe.

Lin Tian set his sights on Butler and Derrick Rose, and then shook hands and hugged them one by one.

The three of them are currently the three most influential players on the Bulls.

Needless to say, Sister-in-law Jia has two championships in hand, and has been in the best team several times, and she has already achieved great success.

Jimmy Butler, an iron-blooded tough guy, officially signed a contract of nearly [-] million with the Bulls this season.

Derrick Rose, Rose of the Windy City, although he is no longer at his peak, his scoring ability is still very strong.

Lin Tian liked Ross more in his previous life, not only his playing style, but also his character.

Just thinking that Rose will be traded away by the Bulls after this season, Lin Tian feels a little bit emotional, the NBA is just a business league after all.

He and Butler didn't say anything, but when shaking hands with Rose, Rose took the initiative to say: "Young man, you have been in the limelight recently! Those sports newspapers are reporting your news every day."

Although it was the first time for the two to meet, it was very normal for Ross to know Lin Tian.

In other words, among all the players in the entire NBA, it is impossible for anyone not to know Lin Tian.

Lin Tian scratched his head embarrassingly: "Maybe it's because my recent performance is okay."

Butler smacked his lips, thinking that this was just okay.

Rose said: "Your talent is very unique, and the way you play is also very powerful. As long as you can dunk, you will never choose to lay up. Even if you can't dunk, you will often choose to dunk. Am I right?"

"Did you watch my game?"

"Every game of yours, even if I didn't watch the live broadcast, I watched the video." Rose said with a smile.

A strange feeling suddenly rose in Lin Tian's heart, Fengcheng Rose actually watched every game of his own.

Rose continued: "Although this way of playing can arouse the audience's adrenaline, it will cause a lot of damage to the knees. You are still young and may not feel it, but when you reach my age, or in a few years, you will experience it."

Lin Tian understood what Ross meant, and a warm current flowed into his heart. Ross is worthy of being a high-quality idol.

"In fact, not only the knees, but other parts of the body will also be affected to a certain extent." Rose continued.

"Thank you, Derek, I see."
