Today is another game day, and the Lakers will face the Toronto Raptors at home.

The Raptors are not a strong team. The only one who is ahead of the All-Stars in the team is Chris Bosh. Bosh is another All-Star who cannot make the team qualitatively change, so that's it.

Although the opponent is not strong, the Lakers' preparation strategy is still rigorous.

Two days ago, they lost by double-digit gap against one of the strongest teams in the West, and Kobe scored 36 points to no avail.

In the morning and at noon, Weisha trained at the place Jim Bass arranged for him.

In the afternoon, I went to Toyota Center to attend the team's training class.

Before the game, Jackson did not do high-intensity training, running, shooting, practicing tactics, and then closed his eyes and meditated. It was over.

Kobe is more serious than anyone else. He completely treats the Raptors, who are the top team in the East, as a top-notch team.

After he finishes everything he should do, he will find an unlucky guy to fight alone.

Kobe basically fought everyone in the team alone. He was not an arbitrary tyrant. If someone used excuses to shirk him, he would not force him.

Ratriel Sprewell is an undisputed ruthless man, the one who dares to pinch the coach's neck, but he is afraid of Kobe. Since the New Year, every time Kobe wants him to fight one-on-one, he will say that he has back pain and leg cramps. Can he let him go? OK.

Brian Russell, not bad, was a ruthless man who challenged Jordan countless times back then. Although he was completely abused by the latter, he felt good and did not admit defeat. He was shameless and said that he and Jordan were very coquettish. Kobe appreciated his competitive spirit, but he only persisted for a month. Since mid-December last year, every time he saw Kobe approaching him, he pretended to faint.

"Stay away from me, Kobe! I'm allergic to you!"

Why didn't Wei Xia expect such a good excuse?

Everyone has their own excuses. Kobe is not a quack of meat and vegetables. He only chooses those who are worthy of single-handed challenge. Some people who are not afraid of him challenge, and he does not want to challenge them.

For example, Smash Parker.

Every time he bumped into his face, his dissatisfied look made Kobe disgusted, and then he quickly ignored him.

Looking around, only Wei Xia is the most worth a dozen.

Wei Xia doesn't know how to refuse, and she won't be beaten. She has been Kobe's fixed single-handed challenge starting from January this year.

The same is true today.

They came to the same place to start fighting. Kobe felt very good and never stopped his mouth when he attacked.

"I'll kill you instantly, wish."

Not.

"Just this defense, I can score five goals in a row without changing my style!"

In fact, only two were entered.

"See? Even that stupid pig in Smash is making fun of you."

"That's because his laughter is relatively low." Wei Xia replied.

The score was 5 to 8 after both sides played ten goals.

Kobe's offensive success rate is very high, and Wei Xia plays more physical balls. He does not have as delicate skills and experience as Kobe.

There is nothing wrong with playing body balls, but it cannot last long.

Wei Xia is living with the best outside players from pure offensive technology in the world. He can learn a lot from the opponent and often use it in actual combat. However, when facing Kobe, he does not have the confidence to use those moves stolen from the opponent.

The creed of not daring to play a big sword in front of Guan Gong made Wei Xia play like a rough guy when facing Kobe.

Today's touch is good, so I can play 5-8 with Kobe.

Kobe didn't win happily enough and decided to play another 10 goals.

Wei Xia, who continued to play the body but failed to maintain her feel, scored 1 goal all by her body, while Kobe made 9 of 10 shots, but the ball he lost was accidentally caught up by Wei Xia.

"I'll get you done in minutes!"

Kobe, who played 17-6, said arrogantly.

"So I'm really disappointed that you are just pursuing this little bit." Wei Xia sat on the ground and mocked faintly.

"You figure it out, what I'm not dealing with is that idiot rookie with a rough technique, but the 'Shark Terminator'." Kobe called out the new nickname given to Wei Xia by the Los Angeles media.

Because he caused the Sharks to suffer losses several times, expelled the opponent twice, and even swung an unparalleled dunk on the opponent's head, he called him the "Shark Terminator".

Wei Xia suddenly realized that compared to these fancy nicknames that call him awkward, "wish" is so fresh, he likes this.

Wei Xia stood up and said, "Do you hope I will press your head to complete the dunk? OK, it will definitely be the next time."

"Stop talking nonsense, buy me water!" Kobe took out the food coupon from his pocket!

Note that it is a food coupon, not a cash or small check.

Each Lakers player can receive $400 in food coupons every day, and it doesn’t have to be sold for food. In short, as long as it is a legal expense, you can get reimbursed for the team within $400.

People like Sprewell who need to have a salary of tens of millions of yuan to support their families use food coupons to promote the good style of saving. Kobe? What does he mean by giving food coupons?

"Did you have Mass today?" Wei Xia asked.

Kobe is Catholic and during the season, he will go to church to perform mass whenever he has time.

"Did it," Kobe said.

"Oh, so, you can't eat meat, drink alcohol, and even drink garbage today. I'll buy you a bottle of ice water." Wei Xia looked indifferent, "I'm definitely not taking revenge on you."

Kobe shouted: "It's not Friday today, I don't have to practice hard and fast!"

Wei Xia shook the food coupon with her hand and said, "Who cares about you?"

"Bastard!" Kobe turned around angrily, "He is becoming more and more presumptuous!"

Spraywell was stretching his legs and feet with the help of Weaver. When he heard Kobe's complaints, he said bluntly: "Isn't it all you spoiled? Look at how honest Vaughn is, this is a rookie."

"You're talking about it." Weaver said with a hearty face.

Kobe said sharply, "You can't do anything like this old bone, you can bully the rookie, it's useless to play games!"

"Nothing?" Sprewell said dissatisfiedly, "Will the management give me ten million a year?"

Kobe said hurtfully: "They're in their brains and they're confused."

"I'm sure," Russell helped, "if they gave me ten million a year, I promise I would be more useful than Latrill."

Kobe is not interested in mixing the sarcasm among veterans.

Today is not an ordinary day for him.

In the evening, when the Lakers' training was over, Jackson asked the players to leave and would go to Staples Center before 8 o'clock.

Wei Xia arrived half an hour in advance, and this is the trick he asked Tony Kukoc for asking.

Regardless of whether it is home or away, going to warm up half an hour in advance is beneficial to adapting to the basket at the game site.

As a result, Kobe was earlier than him.

It seemed that he would arrive at seven o'clock, and Wei Xia would arrive at seven o'clock, and he had already shot hundreds of goals.

Kobe doesn't arrive so early, he's a busy man.

"That's my grandmother." Kobe pointed the direction for Weisha with his eyes. "Dorothy Roxana Ridley, she's here to watch the game on the spot for the first time. Today you'll pass more balls."

Wei Xia rolled her eyes when she heard this, and it seemed that he had passed the ball to him less often.

Not to mention anything else, Wei Xia is currently averaging nearly 4 assists, and more than half of them are obtained by Kobe.

"I'm not the starter, you have to tell the starter!" Wei Xia hinted that the person who didn't pass the ball was not him, but someone named Parker.

"That idiot didn't pass the ball to me, he just didn't know when to pass and when not to pass." Kobe rarely had a positive comment on Parker.

Wei Xia chatted with him for a few more words, then walked to Dorothy to say hello.

It is said that Kobe's character inherited from his mother, and his mother's character inherited from his grandmother.

But Wei Xia couldn't imagine this old lady who looked easy to talk to as the old lady version of Kobe.

Dorothy was very kind to Wei Xia, and then she asked Wei Xia why she didn't have a braided head. She misunderstood that he was from China, and she mistakenly thought that today's Chinese people still have braided heads. According to Wei Xia's experience, there are still many older Americans who hold this stereotype.

"In fact, Chinese people have long since left their braids," Wei Xia explained.

"I stayed, the science channel is not lying to others." Dorothy really looks like Kobe, a stubborn person.

Wei Xia was not interested in reversing the old lady’s impression of the Chinese. It was her first time to watch Kobe’s game on site, so let her focus a little more.

The reason why Dorothy didn't come to watch Kobe's game on site until today is because she had a problem with her nerves and could not withstand the noise on site. Today is the birthday of Kobe's grandfather who has passed away for several years, so she chose to come to watch Kobe's game on site today.

So, today is really a big day for Kobe.

He went to Mass in the morning, and was very pious. The afternoon training class was more focused and serious than everyone. In order to warm up the competition in advance, he also went to the site to try the feel.

The Raptors are not a strong team. They have no way to limit Kobe's hand except to pray that he is not good.

What's worse is that there is a man named Jaylen Ross in their array.

He played for the Pacers in 2000. As we all know, the Pacers made it to the finals that year and encountered the Oklahoma Lakers who were about to start the dynasty. They fought hard for six games and used up all kinds of vulgar methods, but they still couldn't stop the wheels of history from crushing them.

The Pacers overdraw all their potential and used all moves. One of them was Jaylen Ross who took the initiative to play against Kobe during the first game. This allowed Kobe to play for only 9 minutes in the second game, absent from the third game, and returned with anger in the fourth game for 47 minutes. After O'Neal left the court, he led the team alone, scored a key goal, and mastered the match point.

Afterwards, Ross admitted that he made a black foot on purpose, and if Kobe missed the finals due to injury, he would have a chance to get the championship ring.
Chapter completed!
