NBA: Destroying Irving in the opening field

Chapter 67 Dinner with Kobe

After calming down, Wang Hao was ready to rest.

At this moment, there were some changes outside the house.

"Boom boom boom!"

The voice came from the next door, and the tired Wang Hao didn't want to pay attention.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Boom boom boom!"

The violent knocking on the door did not stop, but intensified.

With no other choice, Wang Hao had no choice but to walk to the door and observe through the cat's eyes.

I saw a few black men wearing vests and big arms showing around the door of the neighbor Uncle An's house.

Wang Hao frowned, took out his mobile phone, and was ready to call the police at any time.

After a while, the door opened.

Uncle An came out with a look of horror, his eyes were sleepy, obviously he had just woken up from his sleep.

"Don't worry, I will prepare the money soon, please don't disturb my life anymore." Uncle An pleaded.

Hearing this, the black man didn't appreciate it, instead he gave Uncle An a push, and even cursed.

Uncle An relented and apologized again and again, but the two black men refused to let go. It seemed that they didn't plan to leave without getting the money at night, and even wanted to enter the room.

"Dad, what's wrong?"

A tender, ethereal female voice sounded from inside the house.

Through the cat's eyes, Wang Hao couldn't see the girl's appearance clearly. The only thing he knew was Bai.

Under the dim light, the girl's skin was so white that it seemed to be glowing.

When the two black men saw it, they immediately became excited, and they were about to push Uncle An away and enter the room, while the latter tried his best to stop them.

"Xiaoxiao, go back to the room!" Uncle An turned around and shouted.

He knew that he would not be able to hold on any longer, and he had already begun to despair.

Just then, the door of the next room opened.

A "big guy" with a height of nearly two meters came out, naturally it was Wang Hao!
He was wearing a simple sports vest. Although the exposed arm muscles were not explosive, one could tell that there was a lot of power in them.

Not to mention, Wang Hao still held an iron rod in his hand.

"roll."

Wang Hao only said this one word, and then slowly walked towards the two black men.

The two black men looked at each other in blank dismay, still hesitating, but when Wang Hao walked up to him immediately, he slipped away.

"Thank you, thank you Xiaohao." Uncle An hurried forward to thank him, sweating profusely, he held Wang Hao's hand tightly: "If you don't show up, I really don't know what to do."

"It's okay, Uncle An, just tell me if you need help, you have my phone number." Wang Hao said seriously.

After all, this Uncle An is kind to his predecessor, if he can help a little, Wang Hao is happy, and it can be regarded as repaying his kindness to his predecessor.

After all, Wang Hao dragged his tired body back to rest.

　
In the early morning of the next day, Wang Hao arrived at the Staples Arena early.

He has already planned that every next rest day, whether the team organizes joint training or not, he will go to the arena to train for at least eight hours.

In the arena, Wang Hao met the familiar trio of arena mice—Yingge, Qiu Ge, and Randall.

After the four simply greeted each other, they trained separately.

Time passed quickly, and there were still two hours before the appointment with Kobe at six o'clock in the evening.

Wang Hao finished the training ahead of time, returned home, and after a simple wash, he found the suit that he bought for the draft from the closet.

While tidying up his appearance, Wang Hao thought about what he would ask Kobe for advice.

After making all preparations, he drove to the restaurant.

At 05:30, Wang Hao arrived at the restaurant.

　
"Sir, how many?"

"Two, I have an appointment for table 24."

This is the position Wang Hao chose deliberately, and it can be regarded as a little thought to show sincerity.

"Okay, this way please."

Wang Hao followed the waiter all the way forward, halfway there, and suddenly found a familiar figure in front of him.

Kobe!

To be exact, He Dou Dagger.

The slightly fat man in front of him is the legendary star who made him stand in front of the TV countless times in his previous life, for fear of missing any games.

For a while, Wang Hao still felt a little unreal.

Kobe also saw Wang Hao, stood up with a smile, and stretched out his right hand.

Do as the Romans do, Wang Hao cooperated with Kobe in a chest bump (a common way of greeting among black people).

"Young man, it's quite early." Kobe smiled.

"Ah, did I get the time wrong? I remember it was six o'clock." Wang Hao was a little messy for a while.

Didn't I arrive half an hour early?

Why do you seem to have kept the boss waiting for so long?

"Don't be nervous, the appointment is indeed at six o'clock. My watch is broken so I arrived early." Kobe laughed and joked.

Wang Hao was speechless for a while. He guessed that Kobe should have brought the habit of arriving early for training into his life.

The two quickly sat down and ordered some food separately.

Seeing that Wang Hao was a bit cautious, Kobe spoke first:

"I have watched a lot of your games recently. When you were in college, you can only say that you worked hard defensively, but the effect was mediocre."

"However, there is one thing that puzzles me. Judging from the video, your basic skills of dribbling and passing were good in college, even higher than what you are showing in the NBA now."

"However, you basically didn't have one-on-one breakthrough ability in college, but now you can overwhelm a defensive master like Holiday."

"You are a rare player that I can't see through."

Kobe rubbed his chin and said solemnly, apparently he had done a lot of homework.

"Ah this."

Although he guessed that with Kobe's personality, he would definitely do some research on his own game, but Wang Hao really didn't expect him to study so deeply.

[As expected of you, Bi! ] Wang Hao nodded silently in his heart, but at the same time he was distressed.

I can’t say it, because I’m not the Wang Hao I was in college, right?
Wang Hao was at a loss for words for a while, and after thinking for a while, he faltered and made up:
"Maybe it's because after losing the draft, I learned from the pain and put all my energy into practicing defense, and I slackened the practice of some basic skills."

Kobe fell into deep thought when he heard Wang Hao's answer.

This answer seemed reasonable, but he always felt that something was wrong.

Even if you only practice defense for a month and never touch the ball once, it is impossible for the "children's skills" such as ball control and passing to drop so much!
Seeing that Kobe was still frowning, Wang Hao hurriedly added: "However, I have been doing relevant training recently, and I believe that I will be able to pick up these basic skills soon."

"Oh?" Kobe is still puzzled, after all, things like ball feel are accumulated over time.

He has been in the arena for more than 20 years and has seen countless players. From entering the league to retiring, there are many people who are still rough.

McGrady may be the only one who can improve the ball feel from ordinary to superb in a short period of time.

"I believe you will be able to see my progress soon."

Wang Hao doesn't want to explain too much, it's easier to speak with basketball.

"Then I'll wait to see your progress." Kobe said seriously, "However, your defense really caught my eye. It's no exaggeration to say that you are ranked first in the entire league."

"Wonderful, in fact, I have been polishing my defensive skills."

"In the past, you have obviously taken up the banner on the offensive end, but you are still desperately playing the ball on the defensive end."

"It touches me, and I want to be a two-way player."

"Maybe my talent is not that high, so I want to start with defense, and then find ways to improve offensive skills."

Wang Hao's face was not red and his heart was not beating. He attributed the defensive ability endowed by the system to his "hard training".

Hearing Wang Hao's "sincere" answer, Kobe couldn't help showing appreciation.

In this small ball era, not many young people have such old-school ideas.

He told Ben Simmons last year that if he didn't improve his shooting, he would regret it when he retired.Xiaonian replied, "I have my own way of playing."

This year the Lakers selected Lonzo Ball. Kobe thought that the Lakers had been silent for so long, and helping this young man might be helping the Lakers, so he asked him "will you play back?".The young man only replied "yes".

Kobe was so angry that he went straight home.

On the contrary, this young man from China is a bit of a shadow of himself back then.

"I heard from Pelinka that you didn't listen to the offer from another team and signed the Lakers directly?" Kobe continued.

"This is my dream, to wear the Lakers purple and gold jersey. If I can, I really hope to make a big career with the Lakers." Wang Hao made no secret of his ambition.

At that time, I did sign with the Lakers directly after playing the second preseason game. I signed in the locker room.
Kobe smiled even more when he heard that.

In his 22-year career, he has been sticking to Staples from the beginning to the end, and naturally hopes to have a back to bear his banner.

"But I seem to have encountered a bottleneck recently."

Seeing that Kobe was in a good mood, Wang Hao immediately pointed out the most important topic of the day.

"Oh? Let's hear it, maybe I can help you." Kobe said readily.

Next, the two chatted uncontrollably for nearly three hours on various technical issues.

It wasn't until nightfall that Wang Hao bid farewell to Kobe.

In one night, Kobe changed from a "hero" in the video to a "person" with flesh and blood in reality.

He has no airs at all, and he imparts his experience without saying a word.

All this also made Wang Hao more determined:

Kobe, I saved it!It doesn't matter that Jesus came!
　
(This is a side story)
"I have been training by myself recently, about ten hours a day, but after a few days, I feel that I have not made much progress and there is no effect." Wang Hao said.

"Do you want me to train you, Huaxia boy, then you will become my disciple." Kobe looked seriously at Wang Hao's eyes.

"If I have this honor, I will definitely do my best." Wang Hao said.

"Very good, see you at the stadium at three o'clock tomorrow." Kobe acted vigorously and immediately confirmed the specific time.

"No problem, but is it three o'clock in the afternoon or three o'clock in the morning?" Wang Hao asked.

Hearing this, Kobe's eyes lit up.
