NBA: You said you would give up, and now you’ve won three consecutive championships?

2016 7 Month 3 Day.

Staples Center, Los Angeles.

"Hey Kobe, I'm very honored that you can accept our interview. This should be your first interview with the media after your retirement, right?"

Kobe smiled at the camera and nodded:

"That's true, because there are a lot of things going on with the team recently. You know, it's not easy after retirement."

The host was not surprised and slowly asked the prepared questions:

"We all know that you're a player who never gives up, right? But recently there seems to be some talk online saying that the Lakers are going to be a tanking team this season. What do you think?"

This is a very topical and weighty question.

Whether from a business perspective or comprehensive considerations, no team wants to announce its decision to tank to the public at the beginning of the season.

However, as a legendary star who has been in the NBA for 20 years, he knows very well how to answer.

Kobe shrugged, crossed his fingers and folded his arms across his chest, and said in a relaxed manner:

"I believe every true Laker will not play badly. Even if we are not the favorites to win the championship in the new season, each of us will persist in training and give our best."

"Also, I am very optimistic about the several promising newcomers our team signed this year."

"I believe that after being influenced by our team culture, they will train actively and face the challenges of the new season."

The host nodded, and then said politely:

"Of course, I have no doubt. We both remember what you said about the 4 a.m. sun in Los Angeles. Oh, and by the way, it was really beautiful."

Kobe smiled with satisfaction, revealing a row of white teeth, and then looked at the two players walking by the side of the stadium.

"Hey man, see that over there?"

The host turned his head and the camera followed suit. A player about two meters tall was walking towards the training ground with a bag on his back.

Kobe continued:

"He's one of the guys we signed this year and I'm very optimistic about him."

The host pushed his heavy glasses up and raised his wrist to check the time.

It was only a quarter past five, which was the time for most people to have dinner.

"Is this the second pick in this year's draft, Brandon Ingram? Is he going to practice?"

Kobe nodded with satisfaction and explained:

"The gym has dinner prepared by a nutritionist. As players on our team, we all take the time to train after dinner. This is a tradition, even for the new players who have just joined the team."

"Without exception?"

"Without exception!"

The host was a little shocked. He didn't expect that the entire Lakers team would be so positive and serious about the team's training!

It seems that the online rumors about the Lakers playing badly in the new season have been proven false.

Next, the host saw that more and more players had just finished their meals in the cafeteria, changed into sportswear, and walked towards the training ground with their bags on their backs.

Kobe is right!

The host was impressed by this scene.

Sure enough, as a legendary superstar, Kobe has indeed brought a huge and far-reaching impact to this team. His spirit has influenced the team and everyone in the team.

A team that is extremely competitive and trains hard will never give up even if it is quiet for a year or two!

This is the Black Mamba spirit!

Kobe was also very satisfied with the result. Although he didn't say anything, it can be seen from his expression that this was a very fulfilling thing.

After a moment, the interview was about to continue.

Suddenly the camera captured a figure walking out of the cafeteria, holding two apples in his hands, eating slowly while walking.

He looked to be between 1.9 and 2 meters tall, a rare yellow-skinned basketball player. He was wearing casual clothes and leisurely walking in the opposite direction of the training ground.

Because he was walking in the completely opposite direction to everyone else, he stood out.

The host felt that this person looked a little unfamiliar and should be a newcomer as well.

Maybe he just joined the team not long ago and took the wrong path?

Actually, he originally wanted to go for training, but he was not familiar with the route and took the wrong path?

The next second, the host watched him walk to the entrance of the stadium and pick up his backpack.

Then he walked out of the stadium slowly...

"???"

At this moment, Lakers trainer Phil Handy suddenly rushed into the crowd's field of vision, chased out and shouted:

"Li Feng! Come back, this is the sixth day of training that you've been absent!!"

"Boy, don't go!"

"Hello……!"

"You can't just leave after every meal. You just ate three plates of rice and six chicken legs. Do you think I didn't see that? You need to train!"

"Did you hear that, kid? You gotta train!"

The man riding the electric scooter may have heard this and paused.

Just when everyone thought he was going to change his mind.

As a result, it was discovered that the electric scooter took off at lightning speed and disappeared from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye.

He left without stopping.

Just like her tenderness, it cannot be retained.

"Shit!" Phil Handy cursed.

In all these years of coaching, he has never seen a newcomer who never participates in training!

Not to mention that he's a second-round pick, even Ingram, the second overall pick, doesn't he train with the team diligently every day?!

Is he really not afraid that the team will cut him?

In other words, with this attitude, does he think the team's manager and coach will give him a chance to play?

Is there something wrong with this kid's brain?

and also……

How the hell did that little eDonkey start so fast?!

Phil Handy was cursing, but when he turned around, he saw Kobe being interviewed and the photography team next to him with dull expressions.

The black camera was facing him, as if it had recorded everything that had just happened.

"Um, sorry, that was an accident, please continue..."

Phil Handy smiled awkwardly and tried to get away with it.

But everyone present knew it.

fine? How could it be okay!

The atmosphere seemed to suddenly become awkward.

The camera looked at the host, the host looked at Kobe, Kobe looked around, and finally looked at God.

For a moment, it seemed as if the whole world was quiet.

After a moment of silence, the host pushed up his glasses to hide his embarrassment, then sat up straight, coughed twice, and said:

"Hey, Kobe... that player on the bike just now looked unfamiliar. Who is he?"

Kobe's mouth twitched slightly, then he took a deep breath and shook his head.

"Li Feng is this year's second-round pick, a player from Xia Country. Um... I take that back. Not everyone on our team is a true Laker."

"This kid has personality, but I'm not optimistic about him because personality is based on strength."

The host smiled and said nothing.

He knew that once this interview was broadcast, this young man from Xia Country would probably be caught in the whirlpool of public opinion.

However, this is exactly what they want to see most as media workers: popularity and topics.

Today’s material is here.

……

At the same time, Li Feng was riding his electric scooter slowly towards his apartment.

His tall, well-proportioned and muscular body made the mount under his crotch look extra small, which made him look a little funny from a distance.

However, Li Feng seemed to be completely unconcerned about these things, and even less concerned about the pointing eyes from people on both sides of the road. He rode on the road with a relaxed look on his face.

At this moment, several system reminder sounds suddenly rang in his ears:

"Ding Dong, congratulations to the host for successfully binge eating. Health +1, Body Fat -1, Explosive Power +1."

"Ding Dong, congratulations to the host for successfully escaping group training. Agility +1, Strength +1, Shooting Ability +1, Ball Control Ability +1."

"I hope the host will keep up the good work and keep it up!"
