I am super giant

Chapter 172 Battle against the Lakers
April 1st morning.

Los Angeles, Charles Drew High School Basketball Gymnasium, a dilapidated gymnasium with only a few iron frames used as stands, but it was packed and full of seats.

Today, Ye Feng, an NBA player who left the Drew League, came here to participate in a charity event.

The Drew League is actually just a summer league, and there are no games at other times.

But hearing that Ye Feng was coming, many amateur players and basketball fans from the Drew League came.

The event has just started, and Ye Feng promises to give everyone a surprise.

After the words fell, a tall figure appeared, the scene was completely silent, and everyone's jaws dropped in shock.

"Kobe?"

That's right, appearing in the arena is Kobe Bryant, the main shooting guard of the Los Angeles Lakers, one of the most popular guards in the NBA today.

After a brief silence, the scene went crazy, shouting Kobe's name constantly.

Fortunately, this is Los Angeles, and everyone is fairly familiar with Kobe, so it won't be uncontrollable.With the efforts of the host, the scene quickly restored order.

Ye Feng and Kobe came together and hugged each other.

"Hey, are you here?"

"Yeah, let's fight with you!"

The two whispered, fleeting.

But that intimate action made someone who cared remember it. Obviously, this is not the first time these two guys have met.

After that, the two interacted with the fans under the guidance of the host.

Finally, Ye Feng, on behalf of his sponsor Under Armor, donated a batch of professional basketball equipment to the Drew League.

Kobe paid his own money to build a brand new basketball stadium.

(Wealth and wealth are incomparable. Ye Feng almost has no money to eat. Fortunately, he is receiving a weekly salary, and the money will be paid soon.)
After the event, Ye Feng left in Kobe's car and went to Kobe's house together.

It wasn't until the next day that Ye Feng left to join the team and prepare for the game.

Cavaliers play the Lakers, the gap between the two teams is very large, there is almost no suspense.

But the good news is that both O'Neal and Malone will be absent, so the Cavaliers are playing a crippled Lakers team and still have hope of winning.

8 p.m., Staples Center.

The regular lineup of the Cavaliers played, Ilgauskas, Boozer, Eric Williams, James, Ye Feng.

The Lakers played in remnants, Grant, Medvedenko, Devin George, Kobe, Payton.

The two teams took their positions and began to jump the ball.

beep~
The game officially begins.

In the jump ball, Ilgauskas had the advantage, but when the Cavaliers received the ball, they were interfered and the ball was still snatched by the Lakers.

The Lakers go first.

The old Payton organized the offense, and Ye Feng defended one-on-one.

Seeing Ye Feng, Peyton was not in a hurry to attack, but instead showed a playful smile.

"Rookie, welcome to Los Angeles again. Hope tonight is not your nightmare!"

Old Payton said with a smirk.

"You talk a lot, nonsense can make you win?"

Ye Feng asked impatiently.

Old Peyton's face remained unchanged, but his feet began to move, slowly leaning towards Ye Feng.

Obviously, he wanted to rely on the tonnage to overpower Ye Feng, just like in the preseason.

But Ye Feng didn't give Peyton this chance, whenever Peyton approached, Ye Feng would retreat, leaving a proper distance.

In short, don't let Payton get close easily.

Payton's face changed slightly: "Rookie, you've made a lot of progress."

I remember that at the beginning of the season, Ye Feng was strictly guarding his position and would not give an inch.

As long as your opponent pushes you up, Ye Feng will fight you hand to hand.Never back down even when your strength is at a disadvantage.

But now Ye Feng has become smarter and knows how to make concessions.

Concession is of course not a blind concession, but a better way to choose according to the characteristics of the opponent.

Payton's offensive end can be called a kaleidoscope, but as an old-school point guard, his three-pointers are actually very poor, only 31.7% in his career.

And he himself doesn't like to shoot three-pointers. If it's not a particularly good opportunity, he generally won't shoot.As the team boss for 13 years, he averaged only 2.7 three-pointers per game.

In the small ball era, you would not believe that this is the number of three-pointers made by a defender.

In fact, many old players have those deep-rooted thoughts in their hearts: the closer to the basket, the higher the shooting percentage.

This is also the reason why Ye Feng dared to shrink back.

Sure enough, Payton didn't shoot a three-pointer directly, but followed Ye Feng to invade.

But as soon as he entered the three-point line, Eric Williams and James on both sides of Ye Feng could easily help defend, and the space became smaller, which greatly increased the difficulty of Payton's breakthrough.

Payton was not in a hurry, he had no chance, and passed the ball to Kobe.

Kobe vs. James, No. 8 vs. No. 24, finally ushered in the first duel.

At this time, Kobe was wearing the No. 8 jersey, and his fluffy curly hair was cut very short, leaving only a thin layer, but he did not shave his head as he did later.

As soon as Kobe caught the ball, all kinds of whistles, cheers, and cheers sounded in the Staples Center.
Although Kobe fell into some troubles in the summer, his status in the hearts of Los Angeles fans has not changed. He is still the most popular star and the player most like Jordan.

When it comes to the duel between Kobe and James, we must first emphasize one thing.

The two major illusions in the hearts of many fans are that Kobe has no talent and McGrady does not work hard.

Let's not talk about McGrady, just talk about Kobe.Kobe is not talented?What a joke!
Don't forget Kobe's first nickname in the league-Peter Pan.

Is Peter Pan a title that an untalented player can earn?

In fact, Kobe's career can be divided into two periods based on Kobe's jersey number.

During the No. 8 period, Kobe relied more on talent, flying into the sky, breaking through and dunking.

During the 24th period, Kobe relied more on technology, with back-turning jumpers and smart ball-handling skills.

Many people say that Kobe has no talent because of the 4 o'clock in the morning in Los Angeles.

Kobe's hard work belied his talent.

It is also necessary to correct here. It is true that Kobe got up for training at 4:[-] in the morning, but it was only a very accidental thing.

According to Vanessa, Kobe just woke up early that day and couldn't fall asleep, so he drove to the basketball gym for training.This happened just once.

It's normal to think about it, if Kobe got up at 4 am every day for training, then trained crazily during the day, and played such high-intensity games at night.Then Kobe will definitely decline early before the age of 30.

No human being can withstand such high-intensity training, and human endurance is limited after all.

Of course, Kobe's training is indeed harder and more serious than others, this is an irrefutable fact.

Both Kobe and James like crazy training, but Kobe likes to hone his skills, and James is more enthusiastic about his terrifying muscle mass.

Snapped!
Suddenly, Bryant suddenly started.
