Chapter 733: Dayao’s Hard Training and the Upcoming Playoffs

Early in the morning in Los Angeles, Kobe, who was always the first to arrive at team training, discovered something strange today.

That is, someone actually came earlier than him.

Who is the one?

Listening to the banging sound of practice coming from the arena, Kobe muttered in his heart.

He walked into the arena and saw a tall man with yellow skin.

"Yao?"

Kobe tried to call out. He was not mistaken. The person who arrived earlier than him was indeed Dayao.

Wiping the sweat that was pouring down his face, Dayao responded with a simple smile: "Hi, Bryant, hello."

"Why are you here so early today?"

This is the strange thing about Kobe.

Kobe knew that Xu Ang was very optimistic about this tall and lanky guy from the East. He often told him that Dayao had the potential to become a superstar. In the future, the Clippers wanted to win three consecutive championships and establish a dynasty belonging to the Clippers. , making the team a dynasty team, Yao is an indispensable part.

Although Kobe didn't believe too much in this statement. He always felt that Xu Ang was because Dayao was from China as well as him, so it was inevitable that he would not be objective enough when evaluating Dayao. However, Kobe also admitted that this big man has impressive qualities. Admirable professional attitude and enviable height and talent.

Not to mention height, although height is very important in basketball, it is not the only one.

There are so many tall men in the league, and there are more than one or two players who are tall but cannot play well.

But he had a correct attitude and was willing to work hard. Based on this alone, Kobe believed that Dayao should be given a chance to prove himself on the professional court.

One of the reasons why the OK Dynasty was in such trouble and ultimately led to Shark leaving the team was the attitude of O'Neal and Kobe towards training. The former is to be lazy if you can, and rest as much as you can, while the latter is to practice to death as long as you can't practice to death.

These completely different attitudes eventually led to Kobe not liking O'Neal, and Olney finding Kobe too nagging, which made the teammates who were originally close to each other hate each other.

In addition, when it comes to the boss of the team, both sides want to be No. 1, so there is no room for two tigers in one mountain.

But if O'Neal was replaced by Yao, many conflicts would not exist.

First of all, Dayao has a gentle personality. He does not insist on fighting over who is the boss like O'Neal. Secondly, in terms of training attitude, Dayao does not look as free and casual as O'Neal.

Many Chinese fans in the past life felt pity. If Dayao was given a veteran, Dayao would never be without a championship ring.

There are also many Kobe fans who say that if Kobe was given a big Yao, Kobe would definitely win more championships.

This kind of hypothesis could only be a hypothesis before, but now Xu Ang has the ability to turn the hypothesis into reality, why doesn't he do it?

"Yao, do you want to practice together?"

Kobe Bryant extended an invitation to Dayao.

Although the latter wanted to accept it, he still shook his head: "No, Kobe, my practice method is different from yours. Yesterday I asked Brother Xu to point out my shortcomings. From today on, I have to start training every day. I must first complete the training plan arranged by Brother Xu.”

"You mean Xu gave you a separate training plan? Oh, that's good, man."

Kobe had a little bit of envy and a little bit of curiosity.

Anyone who is capable admires those who are more capable than themselves. Although Kobe is very confident in his basketball talent, he knows that his current strength is not enough to compete with the legendary superstars in the league.

Not to mention other aspects, in terms of physical confrontation alone, there is a big gap between Kobe and Bryant.

His trainer also told him that in his first two seasons in the league, while ensuring that his skills did not fall behind and increasing game experience through playing time, the rest was to increase physical confrontation.

This is generally speaking of strength training and weight gain.

Kobe is like this, and other rookies in the league are basically like this. There are very few exceptions, but Xu Ang is one of those very few.

Also in his first year playing in the league, Xu Ang's strong physical fitness allowed him to be unafraid of any league superstar. Even O'Neal, the terrifying big shark, Xu Ang rode on his head and dunked a ball on his head, and also gave the shark to Suffering a minor concussion, the Sharks have been gritting their teeth and waiting for revenge in the playoffs.

No matter how confident Kobe was in himself, he knew he couldn't do it.

At least, he couldn't in his first few years in the league.

Whether dribbling, shooting, breakthroughs, or other offensive methods, Kobe, as Xu Ang's teammate, is certain and certain that he is the top player in the league.

Any one of these items can create a superstar if applied to others.

But Xu Ang combines them all. No wonder Xu Ang dared to say in the team: "I will come to the league to play for one year, and I will leave after winning a championship."

Such Xu Ang, Kobe thought he was very cold, but he never thought that Dayao could be taken advantage of by him. Kobe also felt a little bit envious despite the accident.

Just a little, no more.

In addition to the trainer's training courses, an additional training plan is developed for Dayao. Are you sure it will be effective?

Kobe is not very optimistic. The team's trainers are all top people in the industry who have paid high salaries. They are all professionals. The training plans formulated by these people are the most suitable for trainers, and there are almost no omissions.

Maybe Xu Ang just gave Dayao some psychological comfort.

Kobe thought so and started practicing by himself.

Today is the beginning of Dayao's implementation of the training plan. In the following days, Dayao arrived earlier than Kobe every day. Even if Kobe deliberately moved ahead of time, he still arrived later than Dayao.

Meeting a teammate who was also a lunatic at practicing football... well, he wasn't a teammate yet. To say that he was a teammate, he had to add the word "future" in front of him. Kobe was very happy. It's rare for a person to meet someone he can admire. What's even rarer is that this person has the same goals as himself and is working hard in the same field. This makes Kobe feel like he's been pumped every day, and he's in high spirits. .

If a person is in good spirits, his performance on the court will naturally be good.

With Kobe's wonderful performance, the Clippers were already fifth in the Western Conference at the end of the regular season. With their results, they can enter the playoffs even if they lose all the next games.

"Now that we are firmly in the playoffs, we have to start preparing for the playoffs now."

Xu Ang called Bill Fitch over and gave him face-to-face instructions: "We will start training in the next few regular season games, and let more people like them join the team. It doesn't matter whether the team wins or loses, the main thing is to give them experience, so as not to When they are needed in the playoffs, they are not capable. As for the main players of the team, give them more rest time so that they can save enough energy to perform in the playoffs.”

Actually, this is the rotation tactic.

The old thief Bobo can use it, but why can't Xu Ang's Clippers use it.

"Okay, boss."

Bill Fitch agreed without any hesitation.

He is not a famous coach, and he does not have the petty temper of a famous coach. He may not be as talented as a famous coach like Popovich, so he can be used easily. This is why Xu Ang allows him to continue teaching.

As long as you obey, what if I give you the title of champion coach?

Didn't the great man say that you should treat your own people as warmly as spring?
