You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 783 Mamba Training Camp

On the opening day of the Mamba training camp, Wei Xia arrived very early.

To Wei Xia's surprise, besides him, Jabari Parker, the No. [-] pick of the Lakers who is preparing for the summer league, also came to the scene.

Parker's arrival caused Wei Xia to lose a title.

Inconsequential title -- the Lakers' highest draft pick since Kobe.

Wei Xia was the sixth overall pick, while Parker was the second overall pick.However, according to the current situation of the Lakers, Parker's title may be replaced by younger players in the next few years.

After all, once the team rots, it can't be controlled.

"Wish, nice to meet you." Parker straightened his posture, very humble.

Wei Xia said: "Me too, although we only met today, I heard your name last year."

As we all know, the 2014 draft has three Uranus stars, but only Parker is a native American.Therefore, he also gets the most publicity.

Wei Xia first heard the name because of "Sports Illustrated".

Before the start of last season, "Sports Illustrated" seemed to predict that he would explode in the new season, and positioned Wei Xia on the cover of that issue.During the filming, Wesha heard the staff mention Parker, and they praised Parker as one of the most important players in the next decade.

At the time, Parker was still in high school.

At the beginning of 2013, Jabari Parker, who was only a high school player, became the second high school student player on the cover of "Sports Illustrated" after LeBron James.

You know, even a famous superstar like Wei Xia appeared on the cover of "Sports Illustrated" at the beginning of last season, and Parker was just a high school student.

Sports Illustrated called him the best high school player after James. Although there is a lot of bragging involved, it can also be seen from the side that the American basketball world expects him.

As for the awards he won in high school, there is no need to talk about them, there are too many.

Before training camp officially started, Parker put down his backpack.

Wei Xia and Kobe, two elderly people over the age of 30, were warming up and took a few sneak peeks.

Guys, there's a whole lot in there: a pair of Nikes, a pair of NBA logo socks, basketball shorts, T-shirts, cold hot glue, rolls of sports bandage, and an iPod full of rap and R&B music.

There is also a paperback Book of Mormon.

Parker's father, Sonny, who played for the Braves from 1976 to 1982, is not Mormon, but his wife, Lola, was a lifelong Mormon, as were their four children growing up.Among them, Parker was of course included.

"Does his belief conflict with yours?" Wesha asked Bryant.

Kobe snorted: "Everyone has their own freedom of belief."

"Okay, so why do you always point fingers at my non-belief?" Wei Xia's words turned around.

He forgot that Kobe was behind him helping him relax.Hearing his words, Kobe felt ruthless in his heart, exerted his strength, and there was a crisp sound, Wei Xia felt comfortable all over, but felt the pain of his bones being broken.

At the beginning of the training camp, Wei Xia and Parker's own affinity made the teenagers on the scene quickly enter the state.

Uncle Kobe, who originally wanted to be a strict teacher with a straight face, realized that if he didn't immediately transform his black face into a kind smile, then his Mamba training camp would exist in name only, and the plan to run a school in the future would also be shelved.

The youngest student in the Mamba training camp is Wei Xia's son Wei Zile, who was born in May 2011 and is only 5 years old now.

However, his hands are bigger than the big boys in the training camp. This is a pair of big hands with high potential.

"Obviously, this is inherited from me"

In other words, Skywalker passed it on to Wei Xia, and Wei Xia passed on his talent.

It turned out that Wei Xia was still very worried that his children would not inherit his athletic talent in the future. Now it is better. Obviously, the old days not only bestowed his talent, but also changed his genes, allowing him to pass on his athletic talent.

Wei Zile can dribble freely with his big hands.

His basic skills are not bad, and it can be seen that he is usually playing with the ball.

Parker is definitely the most watched person in the training camp. He feels to Wesha - very similar, or, in terms of acting style, very similar to Dr.J and Grant Hill.

Such people, we usually call them gentlemen.

"It seems that you have to invite him every year." Wei Xia taunted Kobe, "Without Jabari, I really can't imagine what your training camp will be like."

In order to prove that he is popular, Kobe clapped his hands in an attempt to make the child approach him.

Parker was very discerning, and immediately brought the children to Kobe's side. He saved Kobe's embarrassment and made the latter feel good about this rookie who hadn't seen him many times.

Look at this kid, and compare it with Wei Xia back then, the gap between people is really so big that it makes people want to die.

The activities of the training camp are basically stress-free, just teaching the youngsters basic skills, playing games, half-court three-three confrontation and American bullfighting.

The boys who are 13 or 14 years old are most interested in bullfighting.

There are many geniuses whose physical fitness skyrocketed when they were 13 years old, unlocked the dunking action, and abused their peers to create hallucinations, resulting in the false consciousness that if they let go one-on-one, they will not necessarily lose to NBA players.

At this age, Kobe once challenged Brian Shaw, a high-ranking point guard who played a starter in the NBA all the year round.Later, gossip spread that Xiao couldn't beat Xiaoke.

In fact, no matter how strong a guy is or how good his potential is, it is absolutely impossible for this age group to defeat Xiao.

It is also because the child who made this move was named Kobe, so everyone felt that this story might be true.And Kobe's mentality actually represents the mentality of most of his peers.

After pulling away from the bullfight, and meeting a self-restraining NBA player, you can't see the basket if you put a little pressure on it.

If you change to some low-quality ones, every minute is a fucking basketball dream. GIF.

Both Wei Xia and Parker are of high quality. When defending, they only ensure that they stand in front of the children and never take off to block shots.

Since Wescha and Parker are the kind of people who like to play with children, the training camp unfolded more smoothly than Bryant expected.

At the end of the first day, Parker posed for a photo with all the kids and announced that he would not be there for the next six days as he prepared for summer league.

"If you want to see me, you can pay attention to this year's Lakers. I cherish the time spent with you very much. I hope you can see you again. Kobe and I, Wish, will wait for you here!"

Wei Xia winked at Kobe: Whose training camp is this?
As a top player in the United States, Parker must have participated in countless basketball training camps since he was a child, so he knows what a pleasant training camp atmosphere is like, and he is also working hard to create this atmosphere.

For the next six days, Wei Xia still let his son participate in Kobe's training camp. During the period, there was someone to look after him, and he came to visit the class regularly.

Wei Xia started to do what he really should do, but at the same time he didn't like it very much.

Cameos in filmings, commercials and sitcoms.

Later, his agent Dan Fegan found out that he still had a free schedule, so he arranged a one-on-one interview.

In short, make good use of every day of vacation flexibly.

Wei Xia has a whole summer vacation this year.

He doesn't need to return to China to participate in the competition, because the men's basketball team ranked No.5 in Asia at the Asian Championships last year and missed this year's World Championships.

Wei Xia is not needed for a mere Asian Games, and it is originally for training newcomers. If Wei Xia comes, the rookies may not let go.

Wei Xia asked repeatedly, and the Basketball Association gave no answer.

In fact, Wei Xia felt a little ashamed in his heart, because he didn't go last year.If he goes, the Chinese team will never fall in the 1/8 finals.But on the other hand, if he goes to keep the championship, does the Basketball Association realize the problem?The situation may be better today.

The Basketball Association declined Wei Xia to join the national team to play in the Asian Games, and at the same time tactfully expressed the hope that he could join the national team to play in the Asian Championships held in Changsha next year.Next year's Asian Championships will qualify for the Olympic Games, and there is no room for loss.

Vesha expressly agrees to this.

Los Angeles is an easy place to make money.

Wei Xia's original plan was to stay here for 7 days.

His arrival attracted countless benefactors, so the time was extended to half a month.

Wei Xia does activities during the day and takes time out to maintain training at night.

During this time, James opted out of his contract, not his $2014 million for the 15-2059 season, and became a free agent.

When they were swept by the 76ers last season, James said he had no intention of discussing the future and was satisfied with the status quo, which made the Miami people happy for a while, thinking he was going to stay.

Now we know that the reason why he is satisfied with the status quo is that he is in a very comfortable position, can advance and retreat freely, and has absolute confidence.

On this planet, a young man who is not yet 30 years old can say "I don't want you to pay me $2059 million next year, I want to be free", how many people are there?

After 2010, James once again has the power to control the league.He can face countless quotations and team building plans, and choose the one that suits him best.He is not in a hurry, because he has already taken a step, and it is time for Riley and the entire league team to make a move.

Compared with four years ago, he is not so tender, but he has more initiative.Because he played the reputation of "as long as I'm here, the team can immediately become the championship favorite", and Riley holds a team purely for him, as well as an old Wade and Bosh who doesn't know if he can still be an ace ball-handling offensive player.

If Riley was tempting James four years ago, now even Riley has lost the initiative.

Wei Xia believes that James should still stay.

reason?There is his home, a warm climate, and familiar teammates and configurations.If he stays here, the door to the Finals will continue to be wide open for him for at least four years.

This is the biggest difference between Wei Xia and James.

They are in two mindsets.

One is that if the road is broken and found to be unfeasible, they will look for problems everywhere until the road is opened again.

The other way is to change the road. Of course, this road is the same, there is only one problem: he will get narrower and narrower, and then he has to continue to change roads.
