Chapter 119 Shocked Kobe

Phil called Kobe alone.

"How do you feel? This time, I think you should thank Mitch. His transaction was too successful." Phil Jackson didn't expect that either.

Kupchak was able to complete such a transaction. At first, he thought that he could only trade Gasol as a success, but he did not expect to trade Li Tian in the end.The Grizzlies can't complete the reconstruction, it is really that the management is all blind, and it is unreasonable for such a team to complete the reconstruction.

"Yes, Mickey can reward a chicken leg this time. This deal is great." Kobe is very excited now. In 04, he had the opportunity to join forces with Gasol, and it was not until 4 years later that he got his wish.

"How do you feel about Li Tian?" Phil also wanted to hear Kobe's feelings about Li Tian.

After seeing Li Tian's performance, Phil suddenly appeared and asked him to start.If it is placed on the bench, it will only discount his strength and cannot fully utilize his strength.

If the starting debut, put Odom on the bench.Li Tian's defense can relieve Gasol's pressure, and it can also help Kobe's offense to open up space. With Kobe's restraint, he can get enough open opportunities to play his three-point ability; With the bench lineup, the Lakers' bench can have an offensive starting point, which makes up for the weakness of the bench's lack of scoring ability.

"It shocked me. His defense is stronger than what Mike said. His running position reminds me of Hamilton. He is all-pervasive and fast. It is very difficult for me to chase and defend." I started to like Li Tian a little bit , especially his unwillingness to admit defeat, he likes it even more.

"Yes, his three-pointers and defense are currently what our team needs most. Now the team's biggest shortcoming is the bench, and there is no stable scoring point." Phil is testing Kobe to see if he can Let him bring it up and let Odom come off the bench.

"We must make good use of this. Lee can improve the team's forward defense to a higher level." He hated the feeling of the team's weak defense before.

The two of Phil were constantly discussing the team's lineup.

"Rookie, I like you a little bit." Odom felt familiar.

"Lamar, I like women, you are not good." After finishing speaking, he took a step away from Odom, as if he was avoiding some monster.

"Fuck, Li, you are too bad, but my orientation is normal. Speaking of which, you played really well today. You successfully defended Kobe a few times, but my favorite is your three-pointer, which is really good." Odom praised.

Fisher also said, "It's really good, his three-pointer can participate in the three-pointer contest this year."

"Derek, you are right, he has received an invitation to the league's three-point contest, and he will participate in this year's All-Star three-point contest." Gasol added.

Fisher was a little surprised. He didn't expect a rookie to be invited to the three-point contest in his rookie season. "Really? I think he can learn from Larry Bird." Then he did Larry Bird The posture of participating in the three-point contest back then was overwhelming.

Gradually, they became acquainted with their new teammates, and they chatted and laughed.

Kobe, who finished talking with Phil, also came over.

He won't admit defeat. Seeing a few people chatting together, he said to Li Tian, ​​"Rookie, your offense is too bad. You need to improve it. When I return to Los Angeles, I will teach you how to attack."

Grasping this point, I still gave a good lecture.

"You are too harsh, he is just a rookie." Fisher saw Kobe's mind.

"Haha, really? It's really good, but you can't hide it, and I want to learn offense, but you also know that the Grizzlies don't have a good offensive team." It is true, it is true It's too uncomfortable, and there is no one who can learn to attack.

"It's a good thing for young people to be motivated. No problem. When I return to Los Angeles, I will teach you." He is so eager to learn, and he also promised that if Li Tianzhen can develop offensive ability, then the probability of winning the championship will increase. few.

"That's a good deal, I will definitely empty you out." She said vowedly, her face was full of joy.

With Kobe's approval, his status in the Lakers will not be too low.

Everyone in the Lakers began to congratulate Li Tian.

After finally getting rid of the claws of everyone in the Lakers, he sat next to Gasol and began to think about some problems of facing himself against Kobe.

In the few rounds defending Kobe, he played 200% of his energy and gained a lot of experience, but there are some problems that he has not figured out, and what he should do is the best.

"Li, take a break. How did you feel in the few rounds of the matchup just now?" Gasol was also a little excited when he saw that Kobe had recognized Li Tian, ​​and was also happy for Li Tian.

"It's too difficult, even more difficult than McGrady. I don't know how he will attack in the next second. Look at how many times he hit me, none of them were the same, and they were all different." He said with emotion, indeed It's too difficult, every attack is different, I don't know how to defend, and where Kobe will attack in the next second.

"Yes, take your time. This is No.1 in the league. If you are so easy to defend, the Lakers can trade you so easily?" Gasol couldn't help asking.

"That's right, I have never played against Kobe in the previous game." It seems that we still have to play against the strong to improve better.

"Do you really want to learn to attack?" Gasol had some doubts about whether Li Tian could learn to attack.

"You have to learn, I'm a genius, don't you know?" Very confident, "I'm a real genius" Li Tian didn't forget to repeat.

When Gasol heard this, he was a little skeptical at first, but after thinking about Li Tian's learning and improving so fast, he believed it. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a genius.

"You are a genius, okay." Gasol was defeated by Li Tian's shamelessness.

"Hi, guys, what are you talking about?" Kobe walked over with a smile.

Seeing what the two were talking about, talking and laughing, Kobe was very curious.

"We're talking about a genius." Gasol couldn't help laughing again, mainly because he was speechless by Li Tian's boast.

"Genius, are you talking about me?" Kobe also made this sentence, which is as shameless as anyone.

"Lee, I suddenly feel that you are the real genius, and Kobe is just a hard worker." Gasol also has a good relationship with Kobe in private, so it's okay to joke.

Kobe pointed to Li Tian, ​​"You said he was a genius?" He glanced at Gasol again, as if confirming something.

On Gasol's words, hold a skeptical attitude.

"You will have no friends like this. He is not a genius. A rookie has defended you several times. He is not a genius. Have you ever seen such a rookie in the entire league?" Odom looked at Kobe with contempt.

"Amount" was stunned for a moment.

Gasol went on to say, "You don't need to have any doubts, you know how long he has been studying under the basket?"

Li Tian's footwork under the basket really shocked Kobe. He didn't expect a rookie's footwork under the basket to be so good, because Li Tian only used it once, and he always thought he was fooled.

"How long did it take?" I think he had honed his footsteps for more than a year, and experienced a lot of competitions before he reached his mastery.

"In half a year, he has not only practiced well, but also has a one-on-one success rate of more than 80% with me at the basket. He has also integrated his own things and is still practicing, otherwise you will be faster.

In the beginning, I didn't know how to lay up under the basket, and I learned to lay up during the training. It took less than two months. "Gasol didn't say much, but Kobe was shocked.

'Is this still a person?Truly a genius. 'Kobe felt a little emotional inside.

"This is indeed a genius, but his offense?" I was a little confused, why such a genius didn't even have an offense.

"Come on, you know he used to be a top talent in the league. If it wasn't for Durant causing his knee injury, he would have almost ruined his career."

Gasol paused, gave them plenty of time to absorb this, and continued, "The draft market has plummeted since then, and it didn't appear in the public's field of vision again until the NCAA Finals. After the knee injury really recovered, it still didn't get it. He was selected by the Grizzlies in the second round because of the approval of each team. The Heat, Cavaliers, and Celtics successively gave up choosing him and chose others."

"No, Paul, how could such an outstanding talent be sent out so easily by the Grizzlies?" Kobe didn't think that the Grizzlies' management were all fools.

"It can only be said that the Lakers are too lucky. First, Mark's showy operation, saying that his knee is unwell, and then he rested for a long time. Then the playing time is unstable and the position is unstable. In addition, he and the team's potential star Gay are in the same position. There is a conflict of positions, which made the Lakers take advantage." When the Grizzlies had the idea of ​​​​trading Li Tian, ​​he decided that the Grizzlies would never win the championship if they stayed. Bossau operation sent away.

"Haha, thank you so much for the Grizzlies. Next time I fight the Grizzlies, I promise not to use my full strength." How could he not be happy? Originally, he was also worried about Li Tian's knee injury.But it's only a second-round pick. Even if he was a genius, it doesn't mean anything. Now you don't have to worry about hearing Gasol's words.

"Dude, next time you will avenge you. When you meet these teams, they can give you unlimited three-point shots on the premise of winning. Of course, you have to make it, or you will be angry next time." Phil was eaten." Knowing that Li Tian has conflicts with these teams, there is no problem in supporting him on the premise of winning.

"Don't worry, I won't disappoint everyone, as long as I catch the ball." Li Tian believes that with Kobe's strong restraint, he will get more shots and more space for shots.

I was shocked by Li Tian's confidence again. I haven't seen such a confident young man for a long time. The last time I saw it seemed to be me.

"I think it's four o'clock in the morning in Los Angeles. You have a partner, because this guy once called me to practice at three o'clock in the morning. You know, Memphis at three o'clock in the morning is a place where there are only ghosts and ghosts." Gasol added. After saying a word, he kept praising Li Tian.

"Haha, that's great, I'll call you buddy next time." It's too difficult, no one on the Lakers can get up so early to practice with him.

Kobe thought, "Although training alone can make him more focused, it also has disadvantages, that is, many skills cannot be verified during training, and he can only slowly explore by himself."

If Li Tian really worked as hard as Paul said, not only would he be able to train with others, but he would also be able to constantly verify and modify his offensive methods under Li's defense.

It is indeed a good choice. '

"No problem Kobe, I also want to take a look at Los Angeles at four o'clock in the morning. I don't think it will be ghosts or ghosts at this time?" Li Tian accepted Kobe's invitation, and he also wanted a stronger player who could To accompany him to train, Kobe is the best choice, and he can also start to develop his offensive ability, which is indeed better for himself.

"Haha, there are ghosts in Los Angeles at four o'clock in the morning, but they are all very beautiful female ghosts." Odom couldn't help but joked.

"Really? I think that's Paul's favorite, because the Lakers seem to be the only one who loves romance the most." After hearing Odom's teasing, he responded.

As soon as the words fell, everyone looked at Gasol and started laughing.

Immediately afterwards, a person ran in front, and another big fat white man kept chasing after him.
