I just play ball

Chapter 427 Brand New Temple
As Li Yue predicted, despite LeBron's early return, the Cavaliers' offense was still cut into singles by the Lakers' strong defense.

115 to 101, the Lakers' winning streak expanded to 20 games, and the Cavaliers' 9-game winning streak came to an end.

After finishing the post-match interview and press conference, Li Yue and Kobe attended the dinner hosted by LeBron.

Early the next morning, the entire Lakers team flew back to Los Angeles, and Li Yue went to Irvine to visit his second uncle's family.

On the morning of the [-]th, Li Yue did not train as usual, but went to the new training base to attend the unveiling ceremony.

After more than a year of waiting, the UCLA Rehabilitation Center in El Segundo has finally been built. As a new training base for the Lakers, it cost 8000 million US dollars and covers an area of ​​nearly 13 square feet. It has a waterfall massage pool and professional nutrition. The restaurant, as well as the supporting facilities such as the reception room that can be controlled by partition, can be called the best training base in the NBA.

The training base is rectangular and covered by blinds. The staff can easily adjust the brightness of the indoor light according to the weather and light conditions of the day, giving the players the most natural training environment. When the light tubes attached to the blinds are turned on at night, they can To meet the lighting needs, it is simple and efficient. From the photos, it is a different scene.

Li Yue entered from the southwest corner of the base, and after passing through a corridor, he came to the reception desk.

The staff greeted each other warmly, and he responded one by one. After depositing his belongings, he continued to walk in.

Oncoming is another corridor, but there are signs of 1972, 1980, 1982...2010 on the top of the corridor, which represent the years when the Lakers won the championship. It is not only a historical heritage, but also an incentive for future achievements.

At the end of the corridor, two standard basketball courts came into view. Kobe and others were already in place and chatting together.

"I'm not bragging!" Nick Young said. "I can stay here for 24 hours. There is everything here."

"Then it's settled, I'll start the clock from now." Kobe smiled, "I bet you can't do it."

"Don't make trouble!" Nick Yang shook his hand to change the subject, pulled Li Yue and said, "But he can definitely do it."

Kobe nodded subconsciously, and all his teammates agreed. Li Yue's one-month retreat in the off-season last year was well known in the team.

Above the court is the president's office, and the championship trophies over the years are placed on the windowsill. Whenever the players are training, they can easily see those glittering trophies no matter from which angle, forming an imperceptible encouragement effect.

After chatting for a while, Jim came to lead the tour, and the first thing he entered was the gymnasium adjacent to the stadium.

The venue is very large. Compared with the basement in the Toyota Center, it is the difference between a king and a beggar.

There are all kinds of traditional equipment such as dumbbells, rope swings, balance balls, etc., and all of them are the latest and most powerful brands, but the several beam sticks of different colors that really interested Li Yue and others are high-tech gadgets at first glance. Son.

Jokic mistakenly thought it was the weapon used by the warriors in "Star Wars", but Gary Vitti introduced to everyone that it was a device used to train reaction and anticipation ability. The specific way was to pick up a small green ball, Hit the light beam stick in the highlighted state, and then move your steps along the track of the light beam, trying to match it exactly.

Li Yue felt a bit like the "Jin Le Group" game he had played before, except that he changed from sitting to running.

Kobe immediately proposed a challenge to see who was the fastest responder, and the whole team began to warm up.

As a result, after a round of work, the person with the best overall score is Iguodala. No wonder he can always defend efficiently.

Coming out of the gym, Jim led the team into the multimedia studio, and the first thing he saw was the super-large smart screen.

The staff made a demonstration on the spot, and the entire screen can switch many modules through computer operations, which can simultaneously meet the functions of data display, video playback, tactical analysis, etc., and there is no need to switch back and forth like before.

What's even more surprising is that the management has specially hired a technical team to design and produce tactical simulators. Whether it is a member of the coaching staff or a video editor, as long as the specified tactics are input, they can be demonstrated on the screen through the simulator.

Such a function greatly improves the work efficiency of video recorder analysts. They can freely use functions such as key marking, focus display, and viewing angle switching to help players grasp tactical details faster and make it easier to understand.

Next to the studio is the lounge. As soon as Li Yue walked in, he saw many rare movie discs. The version of "Who Am I" with English subtitles was particularly conspicuous. It is not difficult to infer that the staff is also one of Jackie Chan's fans.

The discs of rappers such as Kanye and JAYZ are also displayed, and many playback devices and headphones are specially equipped.

Walking out of the lounge, everyone came to the nutrition restaurant and was invited to taste the newly developed after-dinner cake.

After visiting the entire base, it was already 11:[-] a.m. Many media arrived and the unveiling ceremony was officially held.

The famous Lakers Magician, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Worthy came to attend, and the meritorious players of Fox and Scott also participated. Li Yue, as a player representative, spoke on stage after Kobe, thanking the staff for maintaining this huge base.

After the unveiling ceremony was completed, a thank-you dinner was held, and Li Yue and others got their own nutrition package.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the whole team came out of the lounge one after another, and practiced together according to normal habits.

The training, open to the public, filled 750 stools with teachers and students from a middle school in Chino Hills.

The general manager of public relations, Blake, specially brought a student named Lonzo Ball to take a photo with Li Yue.

Originally, this kind of thing just went through a process, but a middle-aged man suddenly shouted loudly: My son will be better than you, which surprised the audience.

Li Yue didn't take it to heart either, and turned around to continue training, treating it as a joke.

Perhaps it was because of the change of venue that everyone hadn't had time to adapt, and all kinds of shots hit the iron.

The training lasted until five o'clock in the afternoon, and Li Yue drove back to Scar's apartment with a packed nutritious meal.

ESPN evening show "THE JUMP" is playing, Tracy McGrady and Pippen are guests, and the host is Rachel.

The topic of discussion between the three was what are the flaws of the Lakers. McGrady believes that the only way to beat the Lakers is through rotation adjustments.

The reason is that the Lakers' starting lineup is too strong. Instead of more point matchups, it is better to use only one point to attack, while the other points are used to deal with the Lakers' bench lineup. Guards most threes.

Pippen believes that other teams should allow Kobe to play more, because Kobe's offensive efficiency is much lower than before. Although he is at the top of the scoring list so far this season, it is the result of Li Yue's change of play.

The program ended quickly, and after a commercial, the NBA game prediction and analysis program began to broadcast.

The host briefly introduced the upcoming match between the Lakers and the Thunder, and the screen jumped to an interview with Thunder coach Brooks.

"Yes, we currently lack Durant. No one can score against Li Yue, so we decided to adopt another style of play. We will distribute the ball more evenly and try to win through the substitute lineup..."

Li Yue was surprised to find that Brooks' idea was actually a combination of McGrady and Pippen.

Is it really possible to defeat the Lakers by targeting Kobe and grabbing points from the bench?
