When Adrian returned home, Lilia had already left. A white card was left on the bedside table with nothing written on it, only bright red lips printed on it.
Adrian chuckled at this.
When Adrian and Lilia came together, they actually didn’t have much basis for their relationship. In terms of class, Adrian belonged to the rich class and Lilia belonged to the lower middle class. Lilia was a person who relied on her own
Adrien is a man who keeps improving with his talent and hard work, but Adrian is a playboy who is accustomed to being idle and chasing women's skirts. The two of them came together just because they felt good about each other.
It was just for fun. Adrian had never taken a relationship seriously. You said he loved the new and disliked the old, you said he was flirtatious and flirtatious. That was all.
Both parties are well aware of this, so there is no emotional inseparability. Lilia's departure is just a little spice lost in Adrian's life. His life will begin in the next few days.
It became monotonous, traveling back and forth between the Staples Training Center and his own villa.
In addition to the usual training, in order to further enhance his sense of ball, Adrian added a little extra training for himself, including a five-kilometer dribbling morning run after getting up at 7 o'clock every day.
In addition to enhancing and maintaining physical reserves, non-intermittent dribbling and sudden changes of direction during a five-kilometer run can significantly enhance one's ball sense and ability to change direction, and at the same time further exercise,
Helps increase your dribbling speed.
This kind of training lasted for thirteen days, and Adrian clearly felt that his mastery of basketball had reached a higher level, and his ability to control and dribble the ball had improved. This was also thanks to Adrian's excellent physical skills.
Although my dribbling ability is now unable to adapt due to changes in my body, the memory is still there after all. As I gradually become familiar with my body, those previous abilities came back naturally, as if they came naturally.
Compared with the growth in dribbling and dribbling ability, Adrian's growth in shooting is not that high. Now in training, Adrian can basically guarantee a 50% three-point shooting percentage.
This hit rate is really not high, but it has something to do with Adrian's shooting habits.
The shooting practice that Adrian has been doing is to shoot quickly after getting the ball without making adjustments or making slight adjustments, and he also needs to add a little backwards. Because he always does not take off sufficiently, his shooting point is not high.
, compared to a high shooting point, he has higher requirements for his shooting speed.
After all, in official games, especially in the era of 2035, due to the legacy of blurring positions, positions change very quickly on the court, leaving you with almost no chance to make an easy shot.
"Good morning, Mr. Art." After parking the Ford inside the car, Adrian was surprised to find a yellow Lamborghini parked next to his parking space. Its tough appearance looked like a ferocious beast.
Showing his presence unscrupulously.
After saying hello to Art Jones as usual, Adrian walked into the court and heard a crisp sound of hitting the ball.
"Someone is here for training so soon?" Adrian raised his eyebrows. It was just September 5th, and those big-name players should still be in Miami, Hawaii, Honolulu, Tokyo, Seoul, and so on.
Provence, it shouldn't be here anyway. The team's training will not start until the 15th, and then the pre-season games that will follow will be used to continue to adjust the state.
Pushing open the door of the training center, a man wearing a purple and gold No. 24 training uniform came into view. He stood outside the three-point line, jumped up again and again, and sent the basketball into the basket with a standard posture that seemed to never change.
"Is it him?" Adrian was surprised. If it was him, then there would be no reason to be surprised.
Adrian has vague memories of Kobe Bryant. In August 2015, at his 37th birthday party, Kobe Bryant officially announced his retirement. His 19-year career has left a lasting legacy.
He set too many records. At the same time, at Staples, his No. 8 jersey and No. 24 jersey were retired at the same time, marking the end of another purple and gold legend.
In historical records, the evaluation of Kobe Bryant can be said to be the most polarizing. People who agree with him promote him as the most scoring guard of his era, with a big heart, persistence and seriousness, and the greatness of the Lakers.
A legend. People who disagree with him say that he plays with serious emotions, dominates the ball, is a cancer for the team, is arrogant and self-centered, and his style of play is extremely immature.
But no matter how they argue, both sides agree that Kobe Bryant is one of the greatest superstars after Jordan. It is also recognized that he has left a well-known image of paranoia and hard work in NBA history.
Kobe Bryant, a hard-working paranoid!
During training, Kobe noticed Adrian's movements, but ignored them. He paused for a moment, then picked up the basketball in the cart and continued to practice shooting. Adrian had no intention of going up to say hello. Say hello to Kobe.
, it’s not appropriate yet.
He went directly into the locker room, changed into training clothes, and then entered the weight room to start strength training. Every morning training started with strength training, then shooting practice, then ball feel training, rested at noon, and then continued as usual in the afternoon.
.This is the training plan Adrian has made for himself. If nothing unexpected happens, this training mode will continue for a long time. It is known that Adrian feels that this kind of training will no longer improve himself.
When Adrian finished his regular strength training, relaxed his muscles, and left the weight room, Kobe happened to walk in. The two of them walked in and out as if they had agreed.
"Hello, Mr. Bryant." Just as he was about to pass by, Adrian, who always had a warm smile, said hello to Kobe.
"Yeah." As if he responded from deep in his throat, Kobe's eyes stayed on Adrian for less than a second, and then he walked into the weight room.
"Really lonely." Touching his nose, Adrian suppressed a little dissatisfaction in his heart. He had heard that Kobe Bryant was a lonely guy with few friends, but he did not expect his attitude.
To be so...arrogant.
The moment they passed each other, although Kobe didn't want to show it, Adrian could still see the deep disdain hidden in Kobe's eyes. This disdain may not be directed at Adrian, but more likely
The thing is, Kobe Bryant is a guy with this kind of character.
So, it's no wonder that even his teammates didn't stand on his side after the 'Eagle County Incident'. The conflict between Kobe and O'Neal is on the one hand, and Kobe's own personality of not taking other people seriously may also have a lot to do with it.
It has a big relationship. Regardless of whether the Eagle County incident is true or not, this incident indeed caused Kobe's personal image to plummet, and the direct and indirect losses in various aspects were countless.
For Adrian, Kobe is a good reference to remind himself that if he wants to get ahead in this league, there are certain mistakes he must not make.
Throughout the morning, Adrian and Kobe maintained this silent practice. Some mistakes can ruin everything.
It wasn't until Adrian was cleaning up after finishing his training in the morning that a hoarse voice came over.
"Hey, are you new?"
"Yes." Looking at Kobe walking over, Adrian smiled and said: "I am this year's rookie, and Mr. Biese signed me."
"Did you get a formal contract?"
"Yes, one year's basic salary."
"Yeah, try hard." After saying that, Kobe turned around and left without looking back.
Adrian couldn't help but raised his eyebrows, packed up, had lunch, and found a corner in the locker room to rest. Adrian continued his afternoon practice. Kobe came back after a while, and Adrian called him.
After saying hello, he still responded lightly.
The two of them practiced silently.
The same situation continued the next day. They met each other, greeted each other, and then performed unrelated exercises. Occasionally, when they stopped, the two would chat for a few words. Kobe's attitude was always indifferent.
There are some weird things. Relatively speaking, Kobe's training volume is not large. His knee is still entangled with injuries. The current training is mainly recovery training to maintain touch and physical fitness.
Time passed so quickly, and the number of people in the training center gradually increased. The first group of people to return to the training center were Blake Cook, Jordan Farmar, Devin Green and a series of other players who lacked playing opportunities.
Most of the substitute players participated in the summer league, and they were in the United States. After the summer league ended, they came home to rest for a while.
The people who came back later were semi-main and semi-substitute members like Turiaf and Kwame Brown. After that, the main players came back one after another. The Lakers' assistant coaching staff also put in the work to help this summer.
After resting for a while, the main players relaxed their muscles and bones and restored their physical reserves.
The only exception is the head coach "Zen Master" Phil Jackson. This is not to deliberately act as a big name, but this summer, Phil Jackson has just undergone hip surgery. At this time, he is still in the recovery period and cannot return to work for the time being.
In the preseason games of the new Lakers season and the first few games of the regular season, it is probably difficult to see the 'Zen Master' on the sidelines.
