This Forward is Not Serious

While everyone was still talking about it, further news broke out on social media again.

Kobe Bryant will sign a veteran minimum salary contract with the Nets.

In other words, Kobe paid for this wave not for money, but for the championship!

"This is so shameless! Kobe abandoned his team! He betrayed the Lakers!"

In James' private villa, Fu Paul was talking angrily at this time.

This wave of Bryant's operation was a big blow to the Lakers, because James just became the new face of the Lakers, and Bryant abandoned the Lakers.

It's easy to create an association that Kobe doesn't want to cooperate with James.

This is definitely possible, because everyone knows what Kobe means to the Lakers.

"Calm down, Richie, it's not entirely a bad thing."

James is relatively calm, just like the reaction when he talked to Pelinka before.

Rich Paul looked at James suspiciously. This was a rare disagreement between them.

"Every team has totem-like characters, which are generally difficult to shake, but the current situation is an opportunity for us."

James said it very seriously, and he didn't mean to hide it from Rich Paul at all.

Rich Paul also knows a thing or two.

If Kobe does not leave, no matter what James achieves in the Lakers, it is impossible to surpass Kobe and become the new totem of the Lakers.

However, when Kobe Bryant left, the situation was completely different.

In particular, Kobe also wore a basketball jersey, which many Lakers fans could not accept.

In particular, if the two teams meet in the playoffs, that's when Kobe's influence on the Lakers is at its lowest.

As long as James can step on the Nets to win the championship, the Lakers' totem will change.

I only see the new people laugh, but don't hear the old people cry.

Fans will not erase Kobe's previous contributions, but they will regard it as a good memory, and then go to erect a new "totem" for James.

Moreover, Fu Paul also knew what to do next.

Since Kobe chose to leave, he should let the outside world know that it was a betrayal and that he was no longer worthy of being the totem of the Lakers.

Because only in that way can Kobe's status in the hearts of Lakers fans drop, and it will also help James quickly gain a firm foothold in the Lakers.

……

Brooklyn, Barclays Center.

Early the next morning, when Lin Ying and Durant arrived at the training ground, they saw a man with a slightly exposed belly, an unshaven chin, and some white beards waiting there. .

Kobe not only came, but he came earlier than them!

If it wasn't for Kobe's teleportation, the only explanation would be that Kobe came to Brooklyn by plane at night.

You know, it takes at least six hours to fly from Los Angeles to New York.

This is really non-stop.

Lin Ying was stunned for a moment, then went up with a smile and stretched out her hand to give Kobe a big hug.

This may seem bizarre, but this is exactly what Kobe would do.

However, it can be felt that Kobe hesitated for a long time to make this decision, but after he really made it, he was looking forward to it.

After a big hug with Lin Ying, Kobe also gave Durant a hug.

In the next year or so, he will be in the same boat with the Texas Gemini.

After a simple greeting, they entered the training hall.

Of course, Kobe couldn't have done the same high-intensity training as Lin Ying from the beginning. He needed to do a lot of recovery training.

Although it's only been a few months without playing, for NBA-level players, it takes a few days to recover before they can keep up with the intensity of the NBA.

This will require a process.

But I have to admit that Kobe is Kobe, and his recovery training intensity is one level higher than that of ordinary people.

When the day's training was over, they sat on the sidelines and chatted.

Durant habitually swiped news on social media with his phone, while Lin Ying chatted with Kobe.

Although we didn't train together most of the time, it was a good feeling to be in the same training hall.

And while chatting, the two of them talked about the topic of training.

When they were in Sanya back then, the two of them trained together, mainly training their footsteps and their non-dominant hand, that is, their left hand.

But at this stage, these are now one of the most commonly used weapons in Lin Ying's arsenal.

Even Lin Ying has mastered most of the alliance's technologies.

The rest are all complicated techniques that are not very necessary. That kind of moves that don't have a chance to be used once in a game, so there is no need to practice them.

Of course Kobe knew this, so the two talked about a very special topic: waist and abdominal strength.

Kobe Bryant is very talented, but he is slightly inferior to Jordan in most aspects, but the only one is that he can compare with Jordan.

The strength of the waist and abdomen, Kobe's waist and abdomen strength is particularly prominent, and all kinds of maneuvers in the air make the opponent hard to guard against.

Even sometimes, you look like a snake twisting in the air, which is one of the reasons for his Black Mamba nickname.

In fact, regarding waist and abdominal training, Grover had already designated a series of plans for Lin Ying, which greatly improved Lin Ying's ability to finish in the air.

However, the trainer's understanding is always at the theoretical level. At most, he can only summarize the experience based on the players he has trained, and then make appropriate adjustments.

But Kobe is different. His "peerless waist" does not come from birth, but more from acquired training.

Kobe and Lin Ying are sharing this now.

In fact, the training content is similar, the difference is only in the details and training frequency.

These are also experiences, and they were summed up by Kobe over the years. Compared with Grover's experience, it is obviously more effective.

Lin Ying also listened very seriously.

There is little room for him to improve in technology, and the things that can continue to be improved are still these basic things, and these are also the most effective things.

Although Lin Ying may not be able to achieve the effect of Kobe because of his height, it is definitely of great benefit.

Many of Jordan's movements, which Lin Ying can't do yet, are essentially supported by strong waist and abdominal strength.

This will improve Lin Ying's strength once again.

After chatting with Kobe, Lin Ying was a little excited.

Because he never thought that he had known Kobe for so long that he would have such a surprise in his first training session.

It seems that Kobe still had reservations about him before.

But this is understandable.

First, Lin Ying was already training under Grover's guidance at that time. Kobe wouldn't do it even if he wanted to, because it would be superfluous.

Second, at that time, they were opponents after all, and Kobe really wouldn't necessarily share this thing that was at the bottom of the box.

But now the situation is different, they have changed from opponents to teammates.

And this season means different things to Kobe, he naturally hopes Lin Ying will become stronger.

Even, he should want the Nets to become stronger.

Lin Ying looked at Kobe, and suddenly had the thought of "since the wool has been smashed, it must be smashed thoroughly".

"This ESPN is too inauthentic, it's so black here!"

At this moment, Durant suddenly spoke.

His words instantly attracted the attention of the two of them, and they both looked at Durant in unison.

Durant handed over the phone immediately.

;

……

It's no wonder that Durant's reaction is so big. These news headlines really have a "black" word all over the screen.

And unlike yesterday's social media, which were mostly excited about Kobe's return, these reports felt very one-sided.

It's like, someone carefully designed it.

Looking at the report from ESPN again, Lin Ying seemed to understand something instantly.

ESPN and the James team are very close. One of the most famous decisions before was the cooperation between the James team and ESPN.

In the years that followed, ESPN's reports on James were very positive, except for the famous Zhan Hei like A Smith.

It can be seen that these negative reports are so concentrated that the people in the team can't wait to take the position, and they don't even want to pretend.

However, just like the Lakers will risk their lives to acquire Davis this time, where James is, there will always be many things that refresh the lower limit.

Moreover, it is also accompanied by various washes, trying to use the voice of the media to dominate the fans' thoughts.

This familiar operation is really hard to imagine without doubt.

Durant apparently knew that too.

Because in addition to these, their fan groups will also attack on social media.

Durant is regarded as the "main attacker" who has played against them many times. Those trumpets who have changed their names are all his fighting history.

But just before he spoke, Kobe laughed.

It wasn't a contemptuous smile, nor was it self-deprecating, it was simply lighthearted.

Lin Ying could feel that Kobe was not angry because of these reports, but looked rather happy.

He was surprised at first, but soon, he seemed to understand why Kobe reacted in this way.

Personality, in the final analysis, is the relationship between personality.

Kobe is more paranoid, but he is also more emotional.

If after he chooses to leave the Lakers, the media and fans of the Lakers hold him back in various ways, he may be very entangled instead.

But now this kind of criticism has relieved him.

In this way, he will not feel that he owes anything, because from the team to the media, to the fans, he owes nothing.

Next, he can let go of the Lakers tag he has held for more than two decades and compete for his fifth championship as a Nets player.

No psychological burden, no guilt.

So this wave of James and his team has actually helped Kobe Bryant.

After understanding this, Lin Ying also laughed.

This time, only Durant, who hadn't reacted yet, stared blankly at the two of them, not knowing what happened.

……

Miami.

Wade is vacationing on the beach.

Unlike in history, Wade returned to Miami in the previous Anthony trade and brought a brief renaissance to the Heat.

After the contract expired, he also renewed a 2+1 contract with the Heat.

Because of the age relationship, this contract is not very long.

But the past year has not been a good experience for Wade, because the Heat struggled as a whole, and he was also plagued by an old knee injury.

It is no exaggeration to say that he suffered both physical and mental torture last season.

So in the offseason, he took a break for his knees and a break for himself to enjoy a rare leisure time on this beach.

He was chatting with his wife about Kobe's comeback, and his expression was a little excited.

When he made his debut, Kobe was not only the first player in the league, but also the first shooting guard in the league, and he was the target of Wade.

During the period when he reached his peak in 2006, the two cherished each other as opponents. After that, the Olympic Games together in 2008 made the relationship between the two extremely close.

The most classic is that year's Christmas game, after Kobe beat the Heat with a horse-and-shooting lore, Wade said something angrily:

"If that person wasn't Kobe, I would definitely smash their locker room."

Kobe Bryant is Wade's goal to catch up, and it is also the driving force for Wade to continue to struggle in the league.

Wade's sluggish performance last season, in addition to what has been said, is also a major factor.

Kobe's retirement made him instantly lose the motivation to continue fighting in the league.

But now that Kobe is back, he feels like he is alive again.

Of course, after laughing, it is inevitable to have some emotions.

Although Kobe came back and came to the East, it is estimated that he will retire after playing for a year at most.

And if he goes to the Nets, he probably won't be able to play against him in the playoffs.

While thinking about it, he suddenly felt that the light in front of him was blocked by someone~www.readwn.com~ Because he was wearing sunglasses, he couldn't see very clearly at once. After taking it off, he could see who was coming. After that, he immediately burst into laughter.

Hug, beating chest, and then bending over while laughing with each other.

The person who came is James.

Although the cooperation with the Knicks fell apart at the beginning, and the way James left in the end was very indecent, it even seemed a bit like getting rid of him and Bosh.

However, that didn't impress their relationship.

As a representative of the 03 generation and a close friend in private, their playing experience will not affect them too much.

"How is life in Los Angeles?"

After the two said hello and sat down, Wade asked James with a smile.

"It's great, the beach there is better than here, and it's not as hot, but it's quieter than New York, it's a very suitable place to live."

James was full of praise when he mentioned Los Angeles.

It was obvious that he fell in love with the city of Los Angeles.

Wade shook his head with a smile, and then handed James the still-drinking soda on the table.

"Then why are you willing to come to me?"

he asked with a smile.

James didn't answer right away, but took a sip of soda with a smile, then looked at Wade mysteriously.

That expression was like saying: Guess?
