Jim Bass Ambition

Chapter 77 Heavyweight Guests

At 9 a.m. the next day, Jim finally called Zen Master.

"You are so naive. When I first came to the Lakers three years ago, I tried the method you said. At that time, I even invited Michael, who had just retired, to Los Angeles, and asked him to teach Kobe how to play more maturely." Zen Master listened After accepting Jim's suggestion, he immediately refuted and dug up Kobe's dark history back then.

"The results of it?"

"Kobe was very happy to see Michael, and he rejected Michael's suggestion to guide him. He said to Michael: "Who cares what others say about you, let's fight one-on-one, and I can blow you up." All the flowing water, the Zen master got a little angry when he mentioned this matter.

"That's really his style." Jim smiled wryly.

"So you think it's necessary to invite Michael over?" Zen master was a little impatient, and Jim interrupted his rare weekend morning.

"If possible, let's arrange it. I'll talk to them this time. As far as I know, although Kobe doesn't say anything, he still looks forward to having a good chat with Michael again." Jim knew that Kobe was so arrogant. Personality, in fact, I still admire Jordan, and now I urgently need a leader to help him grow into a qualified leader as soon as possible.

"Okay, I'll arrange it." After the Zen Master finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

In the following training, many people noticed Kobe's changes.

Artest had difficulty understanding the triangle offense, and Kobe would pull him to the sidelines to explain his teammates' moves.

Strange to say, Artest looked at everyone with a look of bitterness and hatred, but he was very convinced by Kobe and only listened to him.The reason, apart from the parties involved, is only clear to Jim and Garnett.

Matt Barnes and Gerald Wallace were too frizzy on defense, and Kobe would make some targeted suggestions after blasting them.

At the invitation of Zen Master, Michael Jordan also came to the Lakers' training camp when he found time.

Looking at the young Lakers players running on the court, Kobe who set an example and Garnett who kept motivating his teammates, Jordan was even a little envious.

"I love these guys, especially Kobe and Kevin, they're young but they've been in the league for a long time and they've grown a lot. I even remember how they tried to challenge me when they first came into the league. They're all 'old guys' on the team now," laughs Jordan.

"I guess that's what Erwin and Larry thought of you back then." Jim had to show respect to Gang Leader Joe if he wanted anything from others.

"Hahahaha, that's right, but I didn't save them much face, I really blow them up."

On the court, Barnes had an open three-pointer, but he didn't shoot. After hesitating for a while, he made a walking violation, obviously not confident in his shooting.

Garnett immediately went over and reprimanded Barnes, while Kobe walked over and punched Barnes in the chest.

"The next time there is an open shot, resolutely shoot, even if you don't make it, your teammates will help you grab the rebound."

Although his performance was still jerky, at least he looked like a leader.

In the next round, the same tactic was used. Barnes made a decisive shot. The ball bounced twice on the basket and fell into the basket.

Garnett yelled from the side: "That's right, kid!" Other teammates also high-fived Barnes when they returned to defense.

Jim is obviously very satisfied with this combination of red face and white face, while Jordan on the other side is a little depressed.

"Why do I reprimand Kwame? He hasn't improved at all. Should he make a mistake or make a mistake? Is his brain full of muscles?" Jordan complained. The performance was a disaster, making Jordan, the perfectionist, unbearable.

"I think he's under too much pressure. As the No. 20 pick and playing next to you, every move will be under a magnifying glass. He's just [-] years old, and he's still a kid."

Kwame Brown's physical talent is still there, but his mental attributes are too bad, and he was overwhelmed by the pressure and Jordan's strict requirements.Jim felt that for the sake of the Lakers, LaBron should give it a go.

"You can consider hiring a psychiatrist for him to enlighten him. Or just trade it."

Of course, it is impossible for Jordan to trade the hand-picked No. [-] pick, but he is also considering going back to give Brown some psychological construction.

"By the way, I've watched Kwame's games. He may not be able to become a giant inside like Shaq or Tim, but he is still good defensively and can be cultivated."

Jordan was noncommittal, and Jim said poor Kwame Brown, I can only help you so much, and the rest is up to your luck.

The Zen Master’s training session is usually only about 1 hour, which is much easier than Pat Riley, Jeff Van Gundy and others’ devil training. In the words of the Zen Master, what height you can reach does not depend on my training. but your heart.

Some people will practice crazily, such as Jordan, such as Kobe.

Some people let themselves go, so now no one remembers their names.

At the end of this training, everyone did not leave the field, because Jordan will share some experience next.

These players all grew up watching Jordan play, and of course they will not miss this opportunity.

"Look, no one is clamoring for a one-on-one fight with Michael this time." Jim whispered to the Zen master, pointing to Kobe who was sitting in the first row and listening to Jordan's speech carefully.

"We have to wait until the start of the new season to see the effect. It's too early to say." Zen Master said.

"Then I helped Kobe book the scoring title for next season, what do you think? We not only want to win, but also win beautifully. Larry Brown's ugly basketball is really disgusting." Jim half-truth and half-false typical.

The Zen master pondered for a while, this is not just a joke.

Jim left Zen Master and sat on the edge of the field, listening to Jordan's speech with the players. Other members of the coaching staff and arena staff sat on the ground and formed a circle.

"...what did you choose to play basketball for? Money? Women? Or something else? For me, I just play basketball because I love the sport. Physically, I know I'm not 25 anymore. I'm young at 25 years old. When I step on the field, I won't say I'm as strong as I was at [-], but I believe I can play at the highest level. This is my goal and the second time I choose to come back The reason is also the secret of my success. Yes, there is no other reason, only love."

Jordan finished his speech, but the arena was surprisingly quiet for a while, and even a needle could be heard falling to the ground.

I don't know who led the applause. Amidst the warm applause, the players got up one after another, led by Kobe and Garnett, and hugged Jordan in turn.

As you all know, next season will be the last chance to face the legend on the pitch.
