Chapter 182 Kobe's Disciple

After trying out the Knicks, Nets and Timberwolves successively, Xu Hao asked Michael to help him reject other invitations to try out.Although he knows that it is easier to gain fame by participating in the trial training of several teams, in fact, he does not need to do so with his current strength. For any potential high-ranking rookies, their trial training videos have long been Widely circulated on the Internet.

After returning to Phoenix, Xu Hao's life calmed down again. Having completed all the exam subjects, he has one more task every day, which is to read about the draft and trade in major media in the United States.However, during the offseason every year, the league only attracts fans in these two aspects of news, and other things are basically passed by.

But before the big deal, Michael's call came, and he said excitedly on the phone: "Chris, who do you think I helped you contact? Kobe! Kobe Bryant! Would you like to come to Los Angeles Are you going to train with him?"

What?Kobe?Xu Hao held the phone and was speechless for a while.Who is Kobe?He is known as the shooting guard most like Jordan. He teamed up with O'Neal to help the Lakers win three consecutive championships. Although the team fell into a trough after O'Neal and Zen Master left, Kobe showed great strength.During this period, he averaged 30+ points per game for two consecutive seasons and was crowned the scoring champion. He won the first MVP in his career in the 2007-08 season, and he won the O'Brien Cup again last season.

It can be said that Kobe is the belief of a whole generation of players. There is no doubt about his greatness. It is the dream of almost all young players to train with him. Even many players who have been in the league for many years are proud to train with him. .

But what is the situation now?Such a big piece of pie that fell from the sky just fell on my head?

Xu Hao came back to his senses, took a few deep breaths in a row, and managed to calm down his excitement. He asked impatiently: "Michael, are you sure? Today is not April Fool's Day, don't you just call me to tease me?" Am I happy?"

Michael pretended to be angry and said: "Can you respect my business ability a little bit? Do you think I am joking? To be honest, I am still at a loss now. God knows what shit luck and Kobe have gone. Let's train together..."

Xu Hao smiled, since Michael said so, it is true.However, Xu Hao also felt a lot of pressure at the same time. Kobe is notorious for being strict with others. Although training with him will definitely improve his strength, he might be scolded bloody by then. This requires a very strong psychological quality and adjustment ability.

But Xu Hao thinks that he is not lacking in these two points, and he is also confident to meet Kobe's requirements.I don't know if my ability value that was stuck in the bottleneck before will loosen after training with Kobe?After all, he is already a quasi-NBA player!

For this reason, Xu Hao specially consulted Sakura, and the news he got was still exciting.With Xu Hao's current strength, joining the NBA can be said to be a certainty. In this way, if he gains from training with Kobe, his ability value will continue to improve.

This made Xu Hao overjoyed. For him, there is nothing better than the improvement of strength.Of course, the ability value does not fully reflect the real strength of the player. Xu Hao will not be at a disadvantage when facing players with an ability value of 60+, but it is obviously not a bad thing to be able to improve the ability value, because in this way he can To deal with those stronger opponents.

After packing up his things, Xu Hao couldn't wait to rush to Los Angeles. He was familiar with the location of this special training, and he had been here before for away games.The venue that Kobe booked was UCLA's training hall. After receiving the address, Xu Hao was still a little embarrassed. He didn't know if he would be spotted by the opponent's die-hard fans when he was on UCLA's campus, and then he would beat him up.

But Xu Hao obviously thought too much. At this time, the university is basically on vacation, and there is no one on campus.After dragging his luggage to the hotel that Michael had booked, he washed up a bit and then fell asleep. After all, the training starts at 7:[-] every morning. Although the hotel is not far from UCLA, Xu Hao didn’t want to because This is late.

The next day Xu Hao got up early in the morning. After washing his face and brushing his teeth in a hurry and having breakfast, he rushed to the training hall with his training uniform and sneakers, hoping to make a good impression on Kobe.But when he just came to the door, he heard the "bang bang" sound of the basketball hitting the floor from inside, mixed with the "clang" sound of hitting the basket.Xu Hao felt a little strange. He looked at his watch. It was only less than 7:15. Which guy came to the training hall so early and took advantage of the time before their training to practice?

When Xu Hao walked into the training hall, everyone was stunned, because the person who kept picking up the ball from the ground and shooting in various ways was actually Kobe who was about to train with him. .He was wearing a black training vest and Lakers purple and gold training shorts, and his entire back was already wet. He had obviously been practicing here for a long time.

Xu Hao was amazed by Kobe's dedication. It seems that it is definitely not a fluke that he can get so many honors and such a high status. During the offseason, which player will start training in the morning like Kobe?It's not scary that a person is more talented than you, what's scary is that he's more talented than you, and he works harder than you. This is obviously Kobe.

At this time, Kobe also noticed Xu Hao who was in a daze on the sidelines. After he meticulously scored another goal, he strode over and extended his right hand in a friendly way: "You are Chris, right? I have seen your performance in the NCAA. Performance, you are indeed playing very well, but you still need to put in more efforts to gain a foothold in the NBA. So, welcome to train with me. I hope you can learn something in the process and improve your own strength. . If there’s no problem, go change clothes now!”

Reluctantly, Xu Hao let go of Kobe's hand, went to the corner and quickly changed his training clothes, and then trotted over, afraid that Kobe would be dissatisfied with his procrastination.However, he still asked curiously: "I read on the news that you are very strict with your teammates, and your temper is not very good, but just now, looking at your attitude towards me, it seems that this is not the case..."

Kobe grinned and said meaningfully: "It's just because you haven't trained with me yet. You have to know one thing, most of the time the reporters' reports are not based on rumors. What kind of person am I? will know."
