Chapter 136 My Diligence Is Above You (1/10)(1/2)
On the second day of the training camp, Wei Xia chose to go to Toyota Center at 8:30 in the morning.
His training time has always been regular, not too early or too late.
During the training camp, the Toyota Center is open all day, and only security guards are there in the early morning. If the players want to stay for training all night, it is also allowed, but they still have to arrive on time to complete the training class the next day. Therefore, no one will deliberately stay in the training hall all night to show their diligence.
Maintain a good work and rest to have high-quality training.
When Wei Xia arrived at the Toyota Center, the security guards and staff all said hello to him.
He also nodded to everyone who said good things to him. He took the lead in the locker room and found it neatly in it, thus confirming that he was the first to come to Toyota Center.
Speaking of the first one, he remembered the story that happened in the old time last night.
That night that really impressed him.
At the opening day of the Celtic Training Hall, local Boston media held a microphone and asked Bill Russell's mouth: "More and more Bostonians are dissatisfied with the many niggers in Celtic human resources. What do you think?"
As a person from the future or from outside the black people, he told black people that Nico would be beaten, criticized, and was more serious and directly socially dying. He was really unbelievable to hear reporters ask questions like this.
Russell, who has been actively participating in the campaign to eliminate racial discrimination, did not act outrageously. He did not hear people with different skin colors than him say that Nico is like a crazy Husky like a crazy person.
He replied in a cool way: "It's okay, we just play for each other."
Thinking of this, Wei Xia was excited.
The old times not only changed his life, but also increased his life experience. He never lived in the 1950s-60s-70s, but now he has the opportunity to appreciate the style of the old era through Havlicek's eyes.
Wei Xia was approaching the gymnasium and heard the sound of a ball slap, followed by the sound of shooting and slamming the heart of the net.
Someone is here?
He walked in with curiosity and suddenly discovered that the man who hurt his self-esteem yesterday was practicing shooting.
The person responsible for passing and picking up the ball to him is the Lakers' meritorious trainer Gary Witty.
This person's history of playing for the Lakers can be traced back to 1984. Pat Riley personally took him away from the University of Portland, and he also cultivated generations of stars from Zijin Lakers.
The Magician is his close friend, and Byron Scott, James Worthy and others are his friends.
From the 1980s to the 1990s, and then to the 2000s, he has accompanied the Lakers through three eras and experienced many superstars.
Seeing Kobe earlier than himself, Wei Xia instinctively disgusted. He didn't see Kobe earlier than him and was disgusted, he found that Kobe was better than him but devoted more energy to the training ground.
This made him feel that he was not doing enough.
He did not show it, but stood alone on another court to warm up.
Another trainer, Rudy Garciduenias, came.
Wei Xia asked him to help him train.
Garce Duenias nodded, he was responsible for passing, while Wei Xia practiced shooting like Kobe.
Compared with Kobe's accuracy, Wei Xia's shooting is obviously more serious.
His mid-range shot can only be shot on the front, and he prefers to wipe the board on both sides. He also has accurate top shots in the arc, and the other points have no highlights.
What made Wei Xia even more annoyed was that every time he missed the ball, he heard a harsh sound from Kobe!
His mentality fluctuates and continues to move forward.
"Visa, control your breathing rate." Garci Duenias saw that Weisha was not focused.
Wei Xia asked: "Does Kobe be so early every day?"
"It's shameful to say that since he came to the Lakers, I haven't gotten up earlier than him one day," Gassi Duenias said regretfully. "I come here with anticipation every day, hoping that I'm the first person to come, but I can always hear someone dribbling in the Toyota Center and shooting the basket."
Wei Xia has heard enough about Kobe's diligence.
In high school, Kobe was the most diligent player in Raul Merion High School for four consecutive years, but he was the one with the best talent.
When I came to the Lakers, it was the same.
"Do you have a fixed time to get up every day?" Wei Xia asked.
Garci Duenias nodded and smiled, "Yes, I'm here at around nine o'clock every day, it's about the same as you."
In other words, Kobe can become the first person to attend the Toyota Center every day at around 8 o'clock.
"Let's go ahead," said the trainer.
Wei Xia obeyed the order, and later the trainer discovered that Wei Xia was not inattentive, he was unstable.
In terms of shooting, there is really a lack of stability.
"Although your shooting moves are very good, if you keep shooting incorrectly, maybe it's better to change the shooting moves." Garce Duenias expressed his insights.
Wei Xia refused to respond and continued to shoot. After an hour, there were only Wei Xia and Kobe in the Toyota Center.
"knock off!"
shouted the old trainer Viti.
"It's just a warm-up." Kobe said, grabbing the towel and wiping his sweat.
"After 1,000 consecutive mid-range jump shots, normal humans won't be as warm-up as you do, Kobe." Viti joked.
When Kobe walked past Wei Xia's field, the latter missed the ball.
Of course he has to give advice.
Kobe thinks he needs to give guidance to the newcomers: "Your skills are thousands of miles worse than mine, but you don't seem to have high requirements for your own training."
Wei Xia asked: "What do you want to express?"
"Obviously, you have a high talent, but I hope (wish) your talent will be fulfilled on the day." Kobe said, and walked into the Power Room.
Thanks to Kobe, Wei Xia had a 70% shooting percentage before, and as soon as he finished speaking, it dropped to 64%.
"Did he want to say that I might as well work harder?"
When Wei Xia finished shooting 1,000 goals, many people came to Toyota Center.
Gassi Duenias didn't expect that he was still thinking about it.
"Maybe." The trainer thought Wei Xia had worked very hard. "I don't think you are lazy. Except for Kobe, no one in the Lakers can say that he works harder than you."
"Haha..." Wei Xia smiled bitterly, "The problem is that the only man who can say that he works harder than me, he will say...and it's over and over again, I think I have to do something."
Gassi Duenias laughed: "What do you want to do?"
His expression of watching the show is really annoying. What's a pity is that Wei Xia has no bad habit of being asked questions but not answering.
He replied: "Terror than him."
Then, the good man who had already had gold and water in Wei Xia's heart - Garce Dueniasby smiled even harder just now. His smile proved that he didn't believe that Wei Xia could be better than Kobe.
Maybe he thinks it is not enough to express it by laughter.
So he spent a lot of effort to stop laughing and said, "Absolutely impossible!"
"Nothing is impossible," Wei Xia said.
"I bet with you, it's impossible!"
Wei Xia asked: "What are you betting on?"
"...just bet...just bet on your food coupon for the next month, how about?" Trainer Leo spoke up.
The NBA team will distribute food coupons to the team's employees, and the expenses within the amount specified in the coupon can be reimbursed.
The Lakers are not the richest team, but they are one of the best teams in the team.
They send food coupons according to the specifications of management, coaching staff, staff, marginal staff and players.
Each player can receive a food coupon of $300 per day.
Each team has 15 registered players, which is a considerable expense.
"I think it's feasible, but it's not fair," Wei Xia was not stupid. "The amount of the trainer's food coupon is only 1/2 of the player."
Garci Duenias figured out a countermeasure to both sides.
He also had to lose one month's food coupon to Wei Xia and give an extra check worth $4,500.
Their bets are finally equal.
Next, we will discuss what wins and what loses.
Wei Xia believes that before the training camp ends, as long as Kobe thinks that someone in the training camp is more diligent than him, he will win.
Garci Duenias didn't think Kobe would do that, so he agreed.
"You're sure to lose." Garce Duenias seemed to see the day when he won a big victory. "Bryant would never admit that there are people in this team that are more diligent than him."
Wei Xia only believes that everything is absolutely absolutely true. Sharks also think that the Bass family will pay the maximum salary when the contract expires. Who doesn’t want the dynasty center who has won three consecutive championships? The result is that it’s just a matter of sending it away.
With the Lakers, nothing is impossible.
In order to win a big victory, Weisha bribed Kobe's trainer Gary Witty.
The price is not too high, it's only $5,000.
He figured out Kobe's daily training time.
