Eight Hundred and Fifty-One. I Asked You to Teach Me This Way?
"You want me to train together?"
Kobe looked at the email sent by Sun Ce on the computer screen and was a little surprised. The last time someone asked him to train together was Nash in the summer of 2008.
At that time, Nash had just become teammates with O'Neal for half a season. He had a very tragic performance in the playoffs and was almost shaved bald by the Spurs in the first round. You know, they almost killed the Spurs last season. That season, they formed a three-star combination of Nash + Stoudemire + O'Neal.
The reason is that Steve Kerr's magical trade of Marion for O'Neal destroyed their original good chemistry.
The series between the Suns and the Spurs in the playoffs that year was simply terrible. The Spurs won by more than 10 points in every game. It was not that the Spurs scored too much, but that the Suns could not score. It was impossible to see that the Suns were still the team with the highest average score in the NBA in the first half of the regular season.
So in the summer of 2008, when Kobe came back from the Olympics, Nash asked Kobe to train for a month to learn how to partner with O'Neal and how to play with O'Neal.
Then in the new season, O'Neal was selected as an All-Star substitute again after a year, but Nash himself failed to make the All-Star team, and the Suns failed to make the playoffs.
Since then, no one has ever asked Kobe to train with him.
Of course, the Suns' failure to make the playoffs had nothing to do with Kobe. At that time, the Suns' interim head coach Terry Porter insisted on playing a positional battle with O'Neal as the tactical core. Terry Porter, who gave up the combination of Nash and Stoudemire, was the real culprit for the Suns' failure to win before the All-Star Weekend.
Although Gentry took office after the All-Star Weekend and scored a high score of 117 points per game in the last 31 games, and the winning rate after the All-Star Weekend reached 60%, they still failed to make the playoffs in the end.
And in the training with Nash, Kobe won.
It was "won", and Nash was the first to lie down every day.
Kobe squeezed his shoulders, stretched his neck and stared at the computer screen, looking at Sun Ce's training invitation and request to visit in the afternoon... Suddenly he laughed.
One Finger Zen Dafa started!
Kobe stretched out his right middle finger... His index finger was broken and he played the game before it healed, so it was not flexible now. He tapped the keyboard with his right middle finger and took a lot of effort to type a paragraph back to Sun Ce.
...
...
"I agree,
Send me the training address."
Looking at Kobe's reply email, Sun Ce fell into deep thought.
He was ready to have a good talk with Kobe about the favor he had done in the past, but this guy didn't play by the rules!
Sun Ce felt that he had been thinking about how to get Kobe to return the favor for a long time, but it was like a punch on cotton...
One Kobe, one Stockton... Both of them can trigger the "humility" section, but these two people don't seem normal...
I don't understand what these two guys are thinking, and Sun Ce doesn't bother to care so much. Anyway, he has arranged for the two to be in place, and then he will start training.
Sun Ce didn't know how to trigger the "Mamba Disciple" event. Since it didn't trigger, he ignored it for the time being.
"Blessing of the legendary point guard:
Bound to: John Stockton.
Specified characteristics: John Stockton's physical fitness retention ability.
Bound characteristics converted to skills: To be trained..."
The special card specifies a characteristic of Stockton that can be learned and converted into a skill. Sun Ce is waiting to learn this training method from Stockton.
After confirming that Kobe will come, Sun Ce came out of the bedroom. Zu Ge was playing video games with Stockton's youngest daughter Laura.
He wanted to train with James, but Sun Ce didn't live in James' house. Whether he could live there or not was one thing. It was impossible for him to bring Stockton, Stockton's three sons, youngest daughter, three people, plus him and Zu Ge to live in James' house, so Sun Ce rented a villa near the players rented by James. He and Zu Ge lived with Stockton and his children.
Sun Ce thought that Stockton's eldest daughter was going to be a basketball player. Although she was only 170 cm tall, she was still good in the women's basketball team. However, Stockton's daughter was going to apply for a major related to nutritionists in college, and she was already very professional.
Originally, Sun Ce wanted to help Paul George and Jimmy Butler find a hotel, but James strongly requested that they live in his house. Sun Ce looked at James's "I definitely don't have any bad ideas" look, and couldn't resist, so he let them go, which just saved a lot of money.
Even if James had any ideas, it would be at least 3 years later, and we'll talk about it then. And if James really had any ideas... it wouldn't be stopped by not letting them live in James' house. This guy's communication skills are unique in the NBA, a basketball league mostly composed of stupid and big players.
Sun Ce came to Stockton's room and told Stockton, who was assigning him a training schedule, that Kobe was coming to train together.
"That guy is here too? You are really capable." Stockton was a little surprised that this kid could actually call that guy to train together.
Sun Ce didn't know how to explain the details, so he just smiled.
Could it be that he was saying: That guy is just as abnormal as you and made me confused?
Stockton continued: "Are you sure you want to learn physical training to maintain your condition at the beginning?"
"Isn't that good? Or should I learn the technique first?"
"No, this is good. I thought you were going to learn skills from me first. When the Jazz asked me to teach Deron Williams, he was very disdainful of physical training. You are quite special.
But this is a good thing. Being able to play for a long time is more important than anything else. You can make more money and wait for opportunities. Just like me, I waited for 13 years before I made it to the finals. Few players of my generation can play for so long. It's just a pity..."
Stockton sighed as he spoke.
After more than ten years of hard work, he made it to the finals and met that damn basketball god.
Sun Ce felt that what Stockton said made sense. Stockton was already 22 years old when he entered the NBA. He was still able to maintain the superstar level after playing for 13 years. It is not easy in this era, let alone in that era.
As for losing to Jordan, if he hadn't maintained his form well, he wouldn't even have the chance to compete with Jordan on the highest stage.
It was just the bad luck of meeting Jordan. It was a pity to be in the same era as the basketball god.
…
…
On the morning of August 11, Sun Ce got up early and took the reluctant Zu E for a half-hour morning run.
After returning to the villa, Zu E said pitifully: "Bad brother, you got up early and had to take Juan Juan with you."
"Didn't you call you when you asked me to get up?"
"I don't care! Brother is a bad guy!" Zu E made a face at Sun Ce, ran back to his room and closed the door tightly, ready to take a shower and take a nap.
Sun Ce felt that women, no matter how old they were, could not be communicated with by ordinary people.
A half-hour morning run was similar to a warm-up for Sun Ce. He took a shower in his room, ate breakfast prepared by the nutritionist, Stockton's eldest daughter, and rested for a while. At 7:30, Sun Ce drove the rented car from the villa to the stadium.
Stockton arranged physical training for Sun Ce in the afternoon. In the morning, Sun Ce went to practice his skills, so Stockton went to the stadium after lunch.
At 7:45, he arrived at the stadium rented by James.
Electronic lock, you can enter with a password.
Who knew that when Sun Ce arrived, there was already a car parked there.
This red Ferrari, at first glance, is someone's wife's car...
Sun Ce entered the gym, went to the locker room to change into a training jersey, and when he came to the court, he saw Kobe sweating profusely.
At this time, Kobe's sarcastic voice came into Sun Ce's ears: "You are finally here? So late."
This guy, what he said is really annoying!
So, Sun Ce opened his mouth: "I went out at 3:30 in the morning, and originally planned to start training at 3:59, but I met an old woman who got lost on the road, and it took several hours to send her home."
Kobe heard that Sun Ce almost hit his foot while dribbling, can you talk a little more?
Kobe sneered: "You risked being shot at three o'clock in the morning and met an old woman who got lost from Memphis to Los Angeles, right?"
"Yeh, almost..."
Kobe was black, this guy actually shamelessly expressed his approval!
This face is simply!
"Okay, stop talking nonsense. I asked you to come here to learn post-up singles from you." Sun Ce was very direct.
Hearing Sun Ce's direct and untactful words, Kobe appreciated it. Training is training, no need for so much nonsense. He agreed to train with Sun Ce and was ready to teach. Although he was also ready to do something else, he still had to teach. As for whether he could learn and whether he could persist, that was another matter.
"First practice a few sets of mid-range shots, 300, 1 set of 100, let me see how your mid-range shots are."
"Okay."
Without continuing to talk, Sun Ce began to move his joints with the help of the trainer.
Kobe practiced on his own. After Sun Ce warmed up, several trainers hired by James had already prepared the ball.
The trainers felt that it was not easy for them to make some money. Due to the NBA lockout, many trainers could not find jobs this summer. Some players saved money and did not hire them. Some teams would hire some trainers in the summer to serve as temporary exclusive trainers for the selected rookies, but now this job is gone.
After finally finding a job, who knew I would meet Kobe!
This is the monster that trainers least want to meet.
Look, they were called to the training hall at six in the morning. Their contact information was posted in the lounge of the gym. James paid for it. As long as they called to say they wanted to train, they had to come.
Sun Ce walked onto the court and the system prompt came.
"Humility:
Trigger object: Kobe Bryant.
Learning goal: mid-range shooting, S+, bonus effect 35%. Completion (1/7)."
Eh?
Sun Ce saw that there was actually one-seventh completion...
"Wait, this is the entry point when learning from Jordan, right?"
Sun Ce remembered that when he was learning turnaround jump shot from Jordan before, he also started training from mid-range shooting.
"This venomous snake said that he didn't imitate old man Joe!"
Sun Ce was a little happy. This meant that it was possible to learn something from Kobe more easily, and it was expected to be transformed into skills.
Sun Ce had learned the "Nash training method" from Nash, the "acceleration and change of direction while moving" from Ellis, the "Randolph version of low-post back-to-the-basket technique" from Randolph, and the "turnaround jump shot king" from Jordan...
Only when I studied with Teacher Tony, I could not learn the relevant skills.
However, the low post post that Randolph learned is not practical. Randolph's version of the low post post is more related to offensive rebounding. The fat man's second offense is also included in the low post skills.
Sun Ce didn't think there was anything wrong with Randolph's low-post skills in his second attack. This was Randolph's characteristic. Everyone's post-up play was always a little different.
However, Sun Ce has almost never triggered Randolph's low post skills. In the game, he can only use the skills Randolph taught him to judge the opponent's footsteps and grasp the timing of back turns.
Sun Ce still couldn't learn the essence of Randolph's singles.
But isn’t this Kobe...
Start practicing! Start practicing!
Sun Ce roughly thinks that the 35% bonus is that 100 shooting training sessions can increase the muscle memory of 135 shooting training sessions. This may not be accurate, but Sun Ce doesn’t know what the 35% bonus is. I mean, that’s how it’s calculated.
…
After 20 minutes, the training of three sets of 100 mid-range shots each ended.
Sun Ce was completely defeated...
Seeing Kobe's proud smile, Sun Ce had nothing to say this time.
Did you agree that this guy can't make a shot without facing the defense?
Kobe made 94 shots in the first group, 91 in the second group, and 99 in the third group!
Kobe Bryant in training, in the third group, almost hit every shot!
It’s Kobe time to train!
As expected, Kobe was furious: "Your shooting is so bad. How could it be so bad? When I was at my worst, I wasn't as bad as you!"
Hearing Kobe's arrogant words and seeing Kobe's proud look... Sun Ce couldn't bear it!
There is no way to refute it!
Sun Ce trained in three groups of mid-range shots. The best one was 89 shots in the second group, 79 in the first group, and 85 in the third group.
And it's still on the right side of the three-second zone where Sun Ce is best.
In fact, Sun Ce often makes more than 45 shots in his usual training of 50 shots. He even occasionally made 50 out of 50 shots when his hand exploded.
But expanding to 100... the gap suddenly appeared.
At this time, there was a sound of opening the door to the locker room, and a group of people walked in.
In addition to Paul George and Jimmy Butler, who were called by James and Sun Ce as sparring partners, there were also Anthony, Bosh, and Daniel Gibson called by James.
The other two brothers of Banana Boat, Paul is recuperating from injury, Wade is fighting the NBA owners on behalf of the players union, and Wade has a knee injury and cannot train for the time being.
"Oh, Black Mamba, you are really here."
"There is a new MVP who has no idea how high the sky is. He asked me to train with him and asked me to teach him post-up play. I thought about it and decided to teach him..."
"This is good, the lord likes to study very much..."
Sun Ce watched Kobe and James chatting side by side, and James didn't mind that Kobe was covered in sweat... That's not the point. The point is: Aren't these two people said to be incompatible? Why do you feel like the relationship is pretty good? Don’t these two ardent fans get into a fight when they meet?
However, Sun Ce remembered that his more enthusiastic fans would be fine, so he started scolding Kobe and James fans...
Disputes between fans are also part of the NBA. As long as you don't do anything extreme, it's not a bad thing to have conflicts and arguments.
Sun Ce also said hello to Anthony, James, and Daniel Gibson, and asked Paul George and Jimmy Butler to train well. They had already exchanged greetings yesterday and the day before yesterday, so there is no need to be so polite now.
They each went to warm up. Sun Ce was about to practice another two sets of shots. At this time, Kobe said: "I will teach you to shoot from behind now! Come on, guard me."
"Ah?" Sun Ce said in astonishment: "Didn't you teach me?"
"That's right! I'll teach you. I'll hit you once with my back, and you'll learn how to hit me in singles once more. I'll teach you verbally and my moves. You might as well watch my game videos. Only by experiencing it yourself can you truly learn it!"
"...What you said seems to be right." Sun Ce felt strange, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
This seems to be the truth...
Then, after the one-on-one, one-ball training between the two began, Sun Ce knew something was wrong.
"You are so tall and white-haired? What's the use of having such long and big hands? What about your size advantage?..."
"When I blocked your turn and move just now, you should just pull up and throw, then lean back!"
"You're too skinny, and you're really bad at confrontation. How did you get the MVP? You can't find shooting opportunities without a pick-and-roll?"
"You're too weak! You're so weak that I'm embarrassed to use my strength. What do you think, do you want me to let you go... or not? You have a backbone, and I like to bully people with backbone the most..."
"This ball is your luck, come again..."
"Ha, let's just say you are lucky..."
After half an hour of one-on-one couplets, Sun Ce rested his arms on his thighs and panted.
Looking at the proud Kobe, Sun Ce finally understood how this guy wanted to teach him! It was obvious that he wanted to torture him! And this guy is very capable! The kind who can still play several games in a row in two years. Although he has given up defense most of the time at that time, he is almost 35 by then!
Come on, just when Sun Ce was about to swear a few words because the other party didn't understand, the system prompt came!
"humble:
Study object: Kobe Bryant,
Learning goal: Kobe Bryant-style high-post back-to-the-basket singles, S+ level, bonus effect 35%, completion (0/7)..."
This is not important!
The important thing is the next one!
"Because the host trains with the Black Mamba Kobe Bryant, the title: Mamba Special effect: Kobe Bryant's stamina pool is triggered. Whenever the host's stamina declines during training with Kobe, the host can absorb the sweat on the host's jersey to quickly restore stamina. Side effects: After each training session, you will enter a state of extreme hunger..."
