There are four days left before the next game starts.

Four days later, the Lakers will start a difficult 10-game 8 away schedule, with the first stop being the home court of defending champion San Antonio Spurs.

Before that day comes, you still have to maintain the pace of training.

Wei Xia rushed to Toyota Center very early, just like usual.

During the offseason, others only spent two hours of training classes at Toyota Center, and even if he was not considered a training class, he spent 5 hours here.

The staff at Toyota Center always joked: "He regards this place as the home."

The same is true today, Weisha arrives at the Toyota Center one hour earlier than equipment manager Rudy Sidouenias every day.

Before Wei Xia joined the Lakers, Rudy described himself as the "most hardworking worker bee" in the Lakers. He is indeed the most addicted employee among them. No one contributes to the Lakers like Rudy, and even people who are similar to him have never appeared. He runs around every home and away game, dealing with the biggest stars in the basketball world every day.

He has seen their greatness and their insignificance. He has been responsible for cleaning protective gear, socks, shorts and towels, making countless travel plans on the flower boat, and contacting the away training venue... He is probably one of the few normal helmsmen in the colorful battleship of Jerry Bass. In many ways, Garce Duenias and the team's old trainer Gary Witty supported the team's daily work from the grassroots level. How many grassroots are there? When Phil Jackson later wanted to burn sage in the locker room to remove evil spirits, these sages were all found by Rudy.

Today, Rudy was still so short, strong, with a goatee and expressionless face. He was still as wise and hardworking as ever. Despite his low-key behavior, he would no longer call himself the "most hardworking worker bee".

Because there is a freak who is far more diligent in traveling to Toyota Center than him.

Wei Xia's training does not require Rudy's help. He only needs a court that no one uses, a basketball, and a person who passes the ball when necessary. Most of the time, he can spend a whole day on the court by himself.

"Since Kobe became a superstar who cannot control his personal time, no one in the Lakers has trained like you," Rudy said.

Wei Xia listened to his words and took three points.

The three-pointer from the top of the arc flew into the center of the net in the direction guided by Wei Xia's finger.

"Some things must be inherited." Wei Xia replied to him.

Rudy wouldn't say too much to him, they weren't verbose people.

After a while, Rudy walked away.

Kobe is usually free today. Since he lost to the Nets yesterday, he scored 40 points with 36 shots, but his shooting percentage was less than 40%. For this matter, he went home last night and practiced an hour of shooting at his own basketball court before going to bed.

Today, he pushed back everything he could to put it off and only had a morning free of time.

He got up earlier than Wei Xia, but it took a 40-minute drive from his home to Toyota Center. Including uncontrollable factors such as traffic jams and traffic lights, he wasted up to two and a half hours in the car every day.

Such serious waste is a big deal for Kobe, who attaches great importance to time. Some people suggest that he buy a private plane. If there is a private plane, his daily travel time will be divided by 10 times or even more. Although the expenditure is very large, his financial situation is not unbearable. Furthermore, if the time he wasted can save work, it will be enough to make money back on the plane's fuel.

Kobe had many strange thoughts in his mind. When he walked into the Toyota Center, he saw someone sweating profusely and panting.

"Isn't this the rookie who was beaten by Jason Kid yesterday?" Kobe sarcastically attacked the person who dared to come to the field for training earlier than him.

Is there no basketball court at home? Why do you have to get the Toyota Center?

Kobe knew that Wei Xia's home was very close to Toyota Center and was convenient to get around. From this point of view, Kobe was more diligent than Wei Xia. Although he arrived later than Wei Xia, he definitely got up earlier than Wei Xia.

Kobe's language offensive shortened Wei Xia's three-pointer and hit the front of the basket and bounced back into his hand.

Wei Xia held the ball and looked back at Kobe, "What kind of spirit is it like to get up so early when you shoot 36 times in a game? I want to learn from you even more."

When it comes to other aspects, such as aggressive trash talk, Wei Xia feels inferior to Kobe.

But in terms of sarcasm, children raised by British women and Chinese are not afraid of them.

"Learn from me? I'm humbled you. I thought you got up so early because you were beaten by the worst aggressive defender in the league yesterday." Kobe kept reminding Wei Xia about being beaten by Kidd.

Wei Xia replied while dribbling: "You have a responsibility for that matter, and Jason Kidd is not the most aggressive defender in the league. Also, I get up so early every day."

This last sentence really shocked Kobe.

He stared at the equipment manager with wide eyes.

The "most hardworking worker bee" nodded silently, making Kobe understand that Wei Xia was not bragging.

Kobe asked: "You should have a basketball court at home, right? Why do you have to come here to train every day?"

Distracted Wei Xia conceded another goal.

He ran over and picked up the ball and continued to shoot the top of the arc. No one knew how many shots he had already shot.

His hard-working mentality of insisting on the top of the arc hit shocked Kobe, and his inefficient approach to asking someone to help pick up the ball made Kobe shake his head.

"Although I have a home theater at home, I prefer to go to the theater to squeeze in with a group of strangers." Wei Xia didn't expect Kobe to understand this feeling.

But Kobe understood that this is why he wasted so much time to come to the Toyota Center.

I always feel like there is something missing when I train at home.

Kobe's appearance changed Wei Xia's mentality, unable to focus on shooting and missed consecutive shots.

He kept running to pick up the ball and then went back to the top of the arc to shoot, which made Kobe's head look big. Shooting training was the most important thing to pay attention to rhythm and fluency. Even if he made the feel, he needed to keep it. How to keep it? Let someone pass the ball.

Whether Wei Xia scored or did not score, she had to leave her original position and pick up the ball after the shot, and she had to transport it back to the arc and shoot the top shot.

Even if he casts a good feel, these unnecessary and unnecessary steps will cause him to experience drastic ups and downs.

This means that it is almost impossible for him to maintain a smooth and continuous goal feel.

How do shooters persist in training? Perseverance and hard work are the basics, but the pleasure of continuous goals, firmly grasping the shooting curve and the feeling of scoring in the hands, is the reason why they keep training for years.

Although that kind of training is a bit tiring, it feels pleasure.

Wei Xia did boring and no fun training at all.

"Can't you find someone to help you pick up the ball?" Kobe was right opposite Wei Xia, and he was so embarrassed to see him running around.

Wei Xia actually put her idea on Kobe: "Do you want to be this good person?"

"Me?" Kobe found out that he was really bold and asked him to help pick up the ball?

Wei Xia said disappointedly: "Isn't it possible?"

"What made you feel like I would help you pick up the ball? I didn't ask you to pick up the ball for me because you arrived at the Toyota Center earlier than me today!" Kobe believes that he is still friendly to new players as a veteran.

Wei Xia will prove it personally.

If you give the newcomer sunshine, he will dare to be brilliant.

If you give him a thumbs up, he won’t know the number.

You think you have done a good job, but he still thinks you are not as good as a big brother.

"Sorry, I need to correct you a little. Since the day the training camp started, I have been the most diligent person on the Lakers. Since the beginning of the new season, I have never arrived at the Toyota Center earlier than you. And today is the first time you have appeared at the Toyota Center at this time since the beginning of the season." Wei Xia said with a smile, and who would you show her proud look?

Kobe's competitive and aggressive nature were pissed off by Wei Xia's words: "Do you want to challenge me?"

"I have beaten you once in this matter, and you also admitted my victory in front of the whole team. I don't think it's necessary to do it again. Since I am the most diligent person in the whole team, why can't you carry forward your style and help me pass the ball?" Wei Xia's crazy request and proposal made Kobe so angry that his limbs twitched, his mouth trembled, and his heart beat straight to seventy miles. He felt that he might be stunned by the blood that rushed over to the door at any time.

Kobe gritted his teeth and walked up to Wei Xia, wanting to say something.

But Wei Xia's words were based on facts, and he could not refute it for a while. He was such an annoying bastard.

"I tell you, I won't help you pick up the ball. I pushed so many things to come here to train to vent my resentment of losing the ball. Don't mess with me. I warn you and let me hear a word about picking up the ball from your mouth. I..." Kobe threatened powerlessly, "I will let you run to the supermarket five kilometers away to buy water!"

Wei Xia asked with a swearing voice: "How many bottles are you buying?"

Fortunately, Kobe is still young, has no high blood pressure, and has no family genetic disease that cannot be angry, otherwise Wei Xia would have to die of anger on the spot.

He now knows why Wei Xia can anger so many people in the game.

It's not by chance!

Damn it has made all his talent annoying? Why does it make people want to punch him in the head with a punch?

"Don't be ungrateful, bastard!" Kobe was powerless to speak.

"Well, since you are not unwilling to carry forward your style, I don't force you. I really can't expect that there are veterans in the Lakers who treat rookies well. You are no different from Smash Parker, you will only lose your temper at us."

"You can do whatever the hell you say, but you can't confuse me with that idiot in Smash!"

Wei Xia grabbed the ball with one hand and showed off his big claw in front of Kobe, "Then let's talk about picking up the ball?"
Chapter completed!
