Tang Qian's "house" in Los Angeles. As soon as Kobe walked in, he didn't look much and went straight to the point: "Fang, what did you mean by what you just said?" Tang Qian could also understand the urgency of No. 24. He smiled.
Said: "It's hard to say much on the phone. It's probably, well, you can recover."
"But are you sure you have thought clearly about the question I asked you last time? Once I use my power, there will be no turning back." Tang Qian's face became a little serious. Again, he was not qualified to help.
Kobe Bryant decided the final direction of his career.
Because this special ability card has two directions.
He basically told Kobe before, but now, he wants to make sure again.
"Bryant, if you want to completely restore the Achilles tendon, but the aging rate remains unchanged, you still have to..."
“Choose the pinnacle of the year.”
Kobe's eyes narrowed. He looked at Tang Qian, who didn't look like he was joking, and said in a deep voice: "The answer remains the same, I choose the second one."
"I want to make it clear to you, Bryant, once you don't make any achievements this year, you will have no chance to regret it." Tang Qian said: "It will squeeze out all the remaining time of your career."
"I'm not kidding."
"Me neither." Kobe said: "It's the latter."
"I want to return to the peak of one year!" Voice No. 24 said firmly and decisively.
Tang Qian smiled again and said, "Okay, I respect your choice, but Bryant, this peak is not that peak." "What do you mean? Hot? I don't quite understand what you said?" Kobe
doubted.
"It's nothing." Tang Qian said, "You will know later."
"I'll lock the door first, and don't let anyone disturb you while I'm doing it. Otherwise, not only you, but I myself will end up miserable."
Of course these words are lies, but without a suitable excuse, how can he proceed with the following things? Fortunately, Barnes has already "made an excuse" for him. All he needs to do is borrow the donkey.
Kobe believed it to be true. He had also read some oriental books and movies, and he had always been in awe of things like "Qigong". In fact, many Europeans and Americans who have not had an in-depth understanding of the East have a deep understanding of "Kung Fu" and "Qigong".
", I only have a little understanding of it. But the less I understand, the easier it is to believe it.
This can be regarded as an eternal truth.
Especially after "dreams come true" soon.
"Do I need anything special to prepare? Is it hot?" Seeing the other party being so serious, Kobe responded to the situation and asked.
"Oh? You? You don't have to, you just need to have no distracting thoughts and be calm." Tang Qian replied casually while "checking" the doors and windows. After pretending to "clean up" for a while, Tang Qian sat down on the floor with Kobe and said: "
By the way, Bryant, although you are my athletic idol, I still want to do what we agreed on last time..."
Before Tang Qian finished speaking, Kobe replied directly: "Don't worry, I will definitely keep silent about this matter. Anyway, I have had Achilles tendon surgery, and no one can say anything about me. Even if someone uses a gun.
Point to me, and I won't say a word. If you need, I can swear to God or Satan." "No need, people who really want to keep their promises don't need God and Satan, and yours
I want to believe in your character, otherwise I will never agree to you." Kobe nodded, and then seemed to spend a lot of energy and said: "I won't break my promise for the remaining things, it's only for one year anyway, when I don't have the ability.
If I stay in the league, I won’t be shameless.”
"One year from now, I guarantee you will be the new king of the Los Angeles Lakers!"
Tang Qian also nodded, because he really didn't want to end up at odds with Kobe and fall out over the so-called boss position.
Although, when he fully grows up in the future, he will definitely sit in that position.
Peaceful transition, peaceful handover, this is the most ideal state.
He longs to become the new king of Los Angeles, but it is best to do it in a non-conflict and bloodless way. In the past, he seemed to have no idea of a proper solution to this problem, but he never thought that the "different space" would actually help him a lot.
The personal promise and guarantee on the 24th is definitely a treatment that no one has ever experienced in the future.
A year later, Tang Qian will take the throne. He will not be the second in charge, but will directly become the king and sit on the throne.
And in this last year, let me be your "secret" once and for all.
…
Half an hour later, Kobe and Tang Qian stood up. The former looked at his body, still a little doubtful and said: "It's hot, are you sure this is OK?" After all, Kobe didn't feel this "power healing" process.
Any abnormalities.
"Of course, there is no doubt about it." Tang Qian deliberately pretended to be extremely tired and said: "For you, I have directly lost more than ten years of skill."
"Well, I will remember this," Kobe said.
"I know you still have doubts." Tang Qian smiled and said, "Wait for me to take a shower, and then we go to the arena. Once there, everything will be clear." Kobe nodded and said, "Okay~
Just do it~”
The two drove to Tang Qian's offseason training venue. Because the lease period has not yet expired, Tang Qian still has the "exclusive right to use" it for the time being.
Tang Qian passed the basketball to Kobe and said, "Come on, Mr. Black Mamba, try one?"
Kobe catches the ball, takes off and shoots, and hits the ball cleanly.
However, it doesn't mean anything if a goal is scored. Tang Qian temporarily played the role of "ball boy", helping Kobe pass the ball and provide assists.
Kobe did a back-up move, the action was picturesque, brush~, hit.
Then came a continuous movement of footsteps, folding the shot, brushing~, and hitting.
Not to mention NBA players, all professional players are shooting machines when there is no confrontation and no defense. Take my country's "Little Li Flying Knife" Li Lan as an example. He has reached a close level in the training ground. 80% three-point shooting percentage, and in the 1995-1996 CBA season, he once set a super mythical single-season three-point shooting percentage of 64%.
Of course, it still depends on the intensity and level of the game. Being accurate in the CBA does not mean that you are accurate in the international arena. Being accurate in the international arena does not mean that you are accurate in the NBA. Each level is different. But this
It illustrates one point from the side. In the absence of confrontation and defense, the shooting percentage of professional players is terrifying and even abnormal.
For a player like Kobe, it goes without saying.
Kobe seemed to feel something vaguely. After a series of testing and adaptation, he made a huge crossover directly near the top arc! And this movement, since switching to No. 24, has become a small one.
The rhythm has changed, and the new fans have long forgotten what kind of crossover level Kobe No. 8 was back then!
At that time, he was known as the only crossover master in the league who was not inferior to Allen Iverson. If you look at the videos or highlights of No. 8 Kobe, you will be impressed. His speed, fluency, range, and explosive power are all impressive.
The level of “pregnant eyes”. Westbrook and Wall are simply incomparable to No. 8 Kobe’s crossover.
No. 8 Kobe was a true Allen Iverson-style crossover.
It was the first time that Tang Qian saw such an exaggerated crossover at close range! The visual effect was simply amazing!
The perfect combination of speed, explosive power and coordination!
I have no friends!
In fact, even if it is Tang Qian himself, how many years has he watched Kobe No. 8? The Kobe that most domestic basketball fans remember is the Kobe from the No. 24 period. Mature and stable, with mellow skills and free play.
But his physical fitness has been greatly reduced compared to when he was young.
And now, what Tang Qian sees is Kobe Bryant's crossover under peak physical fitness!
Gorgeous to the point of being almost exaggerated!
You have to know that this huge crossover is almost hard to see in the league anymore. The degradation of basic skills and the increasing focus on efficient attack modes have made the NBA have fewer and fewer "one-kill skills". This is also the reason why many veterans
This is probably one of the reasons why fans feel that the NBA is not as good as before.
In fact, it is not just domestic fans who think so. Former Rockets player and current T.N.T host Kenny Smith said on the "T.N.T Team" program that compared to previous stars, the functions of today's stars are more unified. For example, offense and defense are integrated, and the league
Except for James, that is, Kawhi Leonard, the rest of them are Harden, Westbrook, and even Durant and Curry do not have this ability. Furthermore, talking about offense alone, sudden shots combined with this previous
The essential skill package for stars is now slowly being lost.
Either James uses breakthroughs to lead to shooting, or Curry and Durant use shooting to lead to breakthroughs. If you look carefully at their games, you will see that their ability to combine sudden shots is flawed. Of course, in
The areas they are good at are still super strong. Perhaps this is also a case of efficient play in the new era.
Specialize in one thing and use it to lead the way, and no longer spend so much time polishing various skills and aspects.
The effect of this is that a certain aspect improves very quickly, and even those with good talent may reach the extreme level; but the disadvantage is the same, it is easier to be targeted by opponents, and the player's ability to break the game alone is weakening. Breaking the game alone here does not mean that
One-on-one duel, one-on-one. In the eyes of past stars, defeating the opponent is a matter of course, and there is nothing to be proud of. Regarding this, Dennis Rodman also said a famous saying: Super stars should do it themselves.
Opponent! Still asking for help in one-on-one? What kind of superstar is he?
Therefore, before 2010, a star's ability to break the game single-handedly refers more to his ability to beat multiple players with one.
Don't think it's funny. Many times, especially at critical moments, the opponent's rotation and defense are very tight, double-teaming and contraction are severe. Even the triangle offensive tactic does not have the ability to create the most comfortable one-on-one opportunities every time. Therefore, the star
Violent single kills, with the ability to kill many with one, are very important.
Who said that every time you are double-teamed, you have to distribute the ball? What should you do if you encounter this situation? You are good at breaking double-teams, but what about your teammates? If they are not good at breaking double-teams, you give it to them, no?
Is it "harming them" or "harming the team"? So even though James is so strong personally, he is still criticized for not having key attributes and dare not take responsibility. In fact? He shares the playoff record with Jordan.
Monster! This is often overlooked.
Of course, don't just rely on a playoff winning record to make an argument. We will discuss the issue of James in detail later with the data.
Look at the problem comprehensively and not be too one-sided.
How did Olajuwon lead the team to win two consecutive championships? In addition to his teammates' key three-pointers, he also made more critical moments by himself, with one blast. Not to mention Jordan's ability in this area is explosive.
, the absolute number one player in NBA history, if you go crazy, no matter how many opponents you have, I will still defeat you!
This kind of ball may seem mindless, but if you have ever played in an official game, you will know that it can be extremely invigorating and extremely damaging to your opponent at critical moments.
And often a few such key goals can directly determine the trend of the entire game.
Kobe Bryant, Tracy McGrady, Carter, Iverson, and O'Neal are all like this, so watching their games, in a word, their presence is very strong! It's very exciting!
It wasn't over yet. Kobe seemed to be going crazy again. After making this huge crossover change, he broke through with the ball from the baseline, and then soared along the sideline... making a sign that once belonged to No. 8.
A sexy move, a baseline turn over and a lever dunk! And Kobe has not tried this move for several years!
"This, this..." Kobe finally stopped and looked at Tang Qian with excitement and even fanaticism, saying: "Amazing~It's.amazing!!! This is not just my peak state, this is...
..." "Yes, it's just as you thought, Bryant." Tang Qian looked at Kobe's expression and smiled: "This is not just a simple return to peak."
"It's that all your abilities have returned to their peak, all of them." Tang Qian said: "After all, the time is only one year, isn't it? The price is still worth it, right?"
"Of course! Of course!!!" Something similar to the flames of revenge ignited on Kobe's face, and he bared his teeth and said, "This deal is worth it! Even more worth it than I imagined!"
"I won't ask for this kind of opportunity again."
"Once is enough!"
It could solve the problem of fighting for power in the future and help him fulfill a wish he had in his previous life. Why not do it?
He is also No. 24 for the Lakers and is truly happy.
"So Bryant, what is our goal for this season?" Tang Qian said.
"Needless to say?" Kobe's body once again regained the aura that belonged to "Black Mamba" or even "Peter Pan". The two seemed to merge into one, and said: "I will keep everything I lost.
In this last year, I will get them all back."
"Larry O'Brien Cup! Championship ring!" Kobe said in a paranoid tone with a deep and powerful voice: "I will use my last year to chase you crazily! I swear! I will do my best! Better than before.
In any season, we must try our best!”
"Okay, Mr. Black Mamba, are you ready to kick off the final season?" Tang Qian said with a smile.
"Sure!" Kobe picked up the ball on the ground, stroked it gently, and said: "I will burn out all my Mamba blood in the last season. There won't be any trace left."
"Hey, for such a grand occasion, why don't we come up with a loud slogan like the round table meeting?" Tang Qian was also inspired by Kobe and suggested.
"Well, we need to have a loud slogan, otherwise how can we be worthy of those ESPN's 'experts and professors'?" Kobe's eyes seemed to spit out snake bites, and he said solemnly: "Winter.is.ing!"
"Winter.is.ing?" Tang Qian was stunned at first, and then laughed out loud: "Bryant, I didn't expect that you are also a fan of ice and fire. This slogan, um, is very good, and it suits your taste. I'm afraid.
Then it will scare others."
"I just want to scare everyone." Kobe said: "I have never been a good person in the eyes of the league. If I want to do it, I just want to be a ghost. I won't have to explain myself."
"SO." Tang Qian said, "Winter is coming?"
"Yes." No. 24 replied: "Winter is coming."
"It's coming soon."
PS: All, how many people have guessed it? In fact, Xiao Zi has given hints in the tower, various fully upgraded versions of stars. Well, the peak Kobe has appeared, plus Tang Qian, are you ready?
