   Chapter 529 529. Two monsters in one training camp

   Kobe looked at Anthony contemptuously: "Mero, just you? You should rest and let the warden come, you are still far away."

   The onlookers started cheering and screaming when they heard this.

  Anthony replied: "If you want to play against the warden, you can't. Iverson and McGrady may be able to. You can at least lead the team to the playoffs before you are eligible."

   When the people around heard this, their expressions were splendid, and they intensified their coaxing.

   Fighting is hard to say, if you play ball, you will provoke this man like this...

coming!

  The expressionless Kobe is here!

   Kobe reached out to the trainer, received a pass and walked onto the court, and said to Anthony, who followed him: "Boston's style of play, one-on-one, shot or turnover transition."

   Anthony replied: "Of course I know, let's start! You make a free throw, you score first, and if you don't score, I will go first."

   Kobe threw the ball directly to Anthony: "No, you come first."

  Anthony did not refuse, said "start", and immediately launched an attack!

Kobe didn't get distracted. He pressed on at the first time and confronted Anthony. Anthony had the upper hand. Kobe was a little bit struggling. Anthony took the opportunity to turn around and was about to pass Kobe. In the no-ball confrontation, Kobe slammed his force and pushed Anthony to grab the ball!

   Everyone present shouted "KB8", it was amazing!

   In the confrontation just now, in the static confrontation, Kobe, who lost more than ten pounds, had a bit of difficulty carrying Anthony's impact, but with explosive power, Kobe was stronger than Anthony!

  Defensive skills, timing, confidence and decisiveness in shooting... Kobe is much stronger than Anthony, let alone Anthony, with such comprehensive strength, there is no second one on the scene.

   "It's my turn next." Kobe threw the ball to Anthony and ran to the top arc.

   Anthony, who just reacted and made a mistake, heard Kobe's playful voice, and immediately sent the ball to Kobe, and then pressed it directly.

   The number one champion of parallel imports from the crowd said honestly: "You can't press it before you start calling."

   But Kobe didn't care, he took the initiative to push up on Anthony who was pressing up, turned around and faked to trick Anthony, then turned his back and rushed in the middle!

  Anthony didn't give up, turned around and fought hard to defend. Kobe made an emergency stop and pulled from the free throw line. Anthony rushed to the basket from Kobe's side. Kobe made a jumper from the free throw line.

   Hang and beat!

   In just one round, Anthony felt the strength of the opponent, and this guy was obviously playing a game!

The day before yesterday, the three geniuses of the 2003 Syracuse University championship team had a dinner together. When they mentioned this training camp, Liu Xiu casually said that Kobe Bryant's singles skills were amazing. What skills did he want to ask Kobe for advice in this training camp, Anthony thought about him The technology is not worse than Kobe, right? He was called an offensive kaleidoscope when he entered the NBA.

   Therefore, Anthony, who was not convinced, came to Kobe for a heads-up after the first training day.

After a round, seeing the expressionless Kobe again, Anthony felt an extremely strong sense of oppression. When he ran to the top arc to catch the ball, he seemed to hear the sound of "his...", a kind of dangerous feeling of being targeted. !

  …

  Two wins of three games, and the team with 10 goals in each game wins. After two games, Kobe easily defeated Anthony 10-2 and 10-5 respectively.

  Anthony said something cruel, "I will definitely come back," and left in a hurry to find a place to lick the wound, and to review the hanging and beating this time to prepare for the next challenge.

give up?

  Impossible, although Anthony does not have the tough character of Liu Xiu, but after staying with Liu Xiu for a long time, Anthony will not choose to give up until he is "sure" that he cannot do it, and will keep trying.

   And one-on-one, Anthony doesn't think he can't do it, he thinks it's just that the time has not come.

   The onlookers were very excited. Originally, everyone thought that when Liu Xiu and Kobe met, they would fight if they disagreed.

   Every time the two played against each other on the court, it was like a spark hitting the earth.

  It's a pity that the two don't like to break their heads in private, which makes those who do good feel regretful.

   Fortunately, there is Anthony! It seems that Anthony will not give up for the time being, and the good people are looking forward to Anthony's next challenge.

   But one person has a different mood than the others.

  Nash: Are you kidding me?

Last season, Kobe was as strong as a tank, nicknamed Xiao Malone. He was able to carry James, Artest, and Maggette on the defensive end. He was not the top speed guard on defense, and he was able to do it with ease; he could play on offense. Spend work, you can also go to the basket and squeeze the inside line to eat... Kobe's personal ability has already made Nash, a player of the same class, feel too strong.

   The current Kobe is a little thinner than last season. When the trainer measured his weight yesterday, Nash saw that it was 96 kg.

   Kobe is not as strong as last season, but with the strength he showed, Nash is numb! Co-author Kobe last season was dragged down by his overly strong muscles?

  After losing weight, the speed and flexibility have returned to the proper level, and the physical strength is better. More actions can be performed in a single round, the recovery speed of physical strength in a short period of time is faster, and the technical movements can be performed more easily!

Just like the first round of Kobe and Anthony one-on-one, Kobe was able to make a steady shot after turning his back and breaking through and making an emergency stop, while Anthony turned around and caught up after a continuous back turn and couldn’t stop, already. Exhaustion, the difference between the two is obvious!

   Watching lightly abusing Anthony to win a one-on-one Kobe, Nash seemed to see the man he met in the last two years he played with the Suns - the **** of the basketball world!

   The frightened Nash was going to the gym to train the core, and by the way, he also taught the extrajudicial fanatic who asked for advice to train the core.

   When the two came to the gym together, they saw Liu Xiu doing iron again.

  Nash said in surprise: "The warden is really losing weight? When did he work so hard?"

The extrajudicial fanatic scratched his head and replied, "I don't think so, the warden will not exercise, as long as he starts exercising, his whole body will be uncontrollably trying to express his energy. vent."

  “…”

  Nash silently watched the sweating warden in the gym, and listened to Kobe laughing while chatting with joy after winning the heads-up on the training ground... I knew I would have left with Ray Allen!

   That's not right. If I knew earlier, I wouldn't participate in this bad training camp, and I encountered two monsters at one time!

  …

  …

  The days passed, and Kobe Bryant training camp was in full swing.

   It was agreed that two exercises and one break were agreed. In the end, only Ray Allen and Liu Xiu were stable for two exercises and one break.

The stimulation brought to Kobe by the curtain call last season, the effect of the medicine has not yet ended. Kobe has basically maintained the frequency of 6 trainings a week after his hand and knee injuries have completely recovered in mid-May. The training camp has just been prepared for 4 weeks. Time is full.

  Nash also rolled up with Kobe, a warden, a guy with a sense of God, training with these two, he did not dare to relax at all.

Liu Xiu steadily practiced twice and took a rest. After learning the training method, he also needed physical strength to simulate training. He concentrated on the physical strength of the rest day to simulate what he learned in the previous two days of training, which can also be helpful for subsequent learning. Absolutely Not to show talent, definitely not to show progress after a day off in front of everyone.

   However, the first two times he did this, it could heal everyone, but it was not so effective after that. Everyone has accepted this matter, and he was a little lost.

  Anthony would go to Kobe to abuse him every afternoon after training. At first, he was unconvinced. Later, he felt that he could learn something every time he was singled out and entered a masochistic mode.

   He is also quite miserable. He has almost no chance of winning with two wins in three innings. Once he won, Kobe changed the rules to three wins in five innings that day...

Although Ray Allen rested when it was time to take a break, instead of fighting with the roll kings, he had a happy holiday with Liu Xiu, but he was watched by Nashla once Kobe and Anthony played one-on-one, and felt that Nash came first. It's unbelievable to see a new version of Kobe Bryant for the first time.

   In general, after everyone entered the training state, the overall atmosphere was good.

  Ray Allen is willing to teach people when he is free, Nash is very enthusiastic about teaching others to train, Kobe is willing to teach you as long as you work hard...

   In addition to training, Liu Xiu is also paying attention to the free market.

  The Nets, the runner-up, are very popular with veterans after McGrady's contract renewal, but their signings focus on blue-collar insiders with good physical fitness and willingness to do dirty work.

   In addition to signing one blue-collar insider after another, the Nets' next coach candidate has also attracted much attention.

   Mad scientist Nelson Sr. expressed interest in this position, and the two sides negotiated amicably, but ultimately failed due to treatment issues.

   Another favorite target of the Nets who was exposed was Phil Jackson, but on August 5, the Lakers announced the return of Zen Master. That afternoon, Kobe interrupted training and ran to chat with Zen Master for an afternoon.

   On August 12th, the Nets signed another center with the longest mid-level contract of 6 years and $40.76 million, and stole Joel Purzbila from the Timberwolves!

Przebila played in 76 games last season, averaging 24 minutes per game, scoring 6.5 points, 6.8 rebounds and 2.2 blocks. He is about to turn 26 years old and is in the golden period of his career. After the season, the Timberwolves offered Przebila a five-year offer. The lucrative contract of $25 million per year is very good for a white blue-collar center. Purzbila didn't directly renew the contract at that time, so he wanted to go to the free market to try it out, and he really got it for him. A big contract!

Regardless of the more than 8 million in the sixth year, the contract of more than 32 million US dollars in the first five years is also larger than the contract provided by the Timberwolves, and he can get rid of the life of being scolded every day. Ask the Timberwolves if they want to match the contract and choose to run.

   Liu Xiu saw that the evaluation of this signing was not as high as that of the Nets signing Diogu and Rebracia.

The reason is that although Przebila is not yet 26 years old, there is a high probability that the 6-year contract will eventually become a junk contract, because Przebila has a very high injury risk. The top blue-collar talent, he got 1.7 blocks per 16 minutes, but he only played 44 games in the third and fourth grade due to injury, so he didn't even get a qualification offer after the rookie contract ended, and he joined the Timberwolves with a basic salary. Called out.

   Players like this, except in very rare cases, most of them will collapse at 30.

But there are also media comments that the Nets, as a small market team, must seize the opportunity to compete for the championship. Although Purzbila will eventually become a garbage contract player is a future that can be seen, but Purzbila As long as the next two or three years can be guaranteed to be healthy, the peak three years from the age of 26 to 28 can bring huge help to Kidd, McGrady and Richard Jefferson.

  The Nets also confirmed the head coach candidate-former SuperSonics coach Nate McMillan while signing Purzbila.

   Nate McMillan was kicked by the Sonics as a scapegoat because of Ray Allen's departure, and he did not renew his contract.

McMillan is also happy to take the blame, because the Sonics retired his No. 10 jersey. As a role player who played 796 games in his career, averaging 5.9 points, 4 rebounds, 6.1 assists and 1.9 steals, he can retire his jersey and wear it. What is a pot.

   And Ray Allen left, and his three musketeers could no longer be maintained. It was not a bad thing to change teams early. In the end, he was lucky enough to be spotted by the Nets, and he had a good luck.

McMillan's coaching strength is very recognized. In the 2000-01 season, he almost won the best coach in the rookie coaching year and ranked second in votes, second only to the runner-up coach Larry Brown that year. He was brisk and agile. The coaching style, and the Nets' defensive backs, seem like a good fit.

The Nets signed three blue-collar insiders in a row, which made butchers traveling in Europe feel targeted, and other teams with top insiders also felt pain. Others, with the outside trio of Kidd, McGrady, and Richard Jefferson, unless you get an All-Star-level insider, a blue-collar insider with good defense or athletic ability is the best choice. .

  Although Diogu, Rebracia, and Purzbila have been criticized for their salary premiums, the media and experts have recognized the improvement in the Nets’ overall strength.

   The title of the Nets' "Eastern No. 1 Team" has become more and more popular under the reports of major media, but just when the Nets were recruiting in the free market, they caught fire behind them!

   On August 14th, the Blazers officially announced that they had signed former Nets center Alonzo Mourning with a one-year veteran minimum salary of $1.14 million!

  Liu Xiu got the news from the management a little in advance, his first reaction was - the insider is a pot of porridge.

   but not important! They finally have an experienced big center!

   is also very beneficial to Kwame-Brown's growth, which is a very good learning object, and he is better learning from this than from Peyton and Randolph.

   Liu Xiu didn't expect their 15th person to be Mourning!

   After chatting with the vice president, Liu Xiu understood the reason.

   His warden felt that the Nets had done a good job in signings. The Nets had previously tried to win the All-Star or quasi-All-Star level insider, but failed.

   They tried to give Eddie Curry an average annual contract of 8 million yuan. The Bulls were unwilling to match this contract, but the Knicks could not stand the contract of 10 million yuan per year. They felt that the price was too much.

Gasol and Randolph renewed their contracts a long time ago, and the remaining free agents are Tyson Chandler, Kwame Brown, who are not cheap and need to continue to be cultivated, or Troy Murphy , Radmanovic and other functional players with poor defense.

   In the end, the Nets decided to take the blue-collar insider flow and maximize their team of the strongest outsider in the league. This choice has been well evaluated by the media and experts.

   But Mourning doesn't think so, he admires the stars more.

   So when the Nets made such a decision, Mourning, the center in their hearts, had already decided to leave.

   It's just that he is hesitating, is he going back to his old club? Or go to the Spurs and Mavericks, who may struggle more in the new season after failing to compete for the championship? Or go to the Pacers who restructure the lineup?

   Finally chose the Blazers who got Ray Allen.

After the announcement that the team signed Mourning, Liu Xiu clearly felt the healed eyes of several stars in the training camp.

   He feels such a pity! If they were teammates, how much healing would this training camp increase!
