Well, Portland is on the west coast of the United States, and you can't see the sun at four o'clock......

But Zhang Weiping and Kobe Bryant appeared at the training ground at four or five o'clock in the morning, and there is absolutely no falsehood in this matter.

Even Richard knew about it......

……

Kobe's relationship with his parents, although he hasn't turned his face yet, Kobe's mother Pam's desire to control is a little terrifying......

Previously, because Kobe Bryant was under the age of 18, his parents needed to sign a contract with the Trail Blazers, and Richard met Kobe's parents once.

Although Kobe Bryant has an agent, Kobe's parents were involved in the signing process of Kobe, and not only that, but they also discussed a lot of trivial things with the Trail Blazers management......

For example, Kobe's residence, such as Kobe's daily food, etc.

The feeling to Richard is that he has a strong desire to control and has to take care of everything, of course, the strong control of parents is not a big deal, at least for the underage Kobe Bryant.

But when Kobe Bryant became an adult, this terrifyingly strong desire to control laid a hidden danger for the relationship between them and Kobe.

The time point when he really turned his face should be when Kobe Bryant insisted on taking Vanessa.

Kobe's wedding was quite miserable, his parents and sister did not attend, even Phil Jackson did not approve of the marriage, and none of the Lakers players attended the wedding......

……

Kobe, who is currently tormented by his mother Pam's desire to control, met Zhang Weiping, who is easy-going and funny, and is also very supportive of himself, and was soon "captured" by Zhang Weiping......

At six o'clock in the morning, Lao Weiping and Little Kobe were sweating profusely and sitting on the floor of the training ground.

It was clear that the two had just undergone intense training......

"Zhang, in fact, you don't need to come to train with me so early, you should sleep more!" Kobe said to Zhang Weiping with a smile.

Zhang Weiping didn't care about Kobe Bryant calling himself Zhang at all, and Kobe Bryant also called Zhang Weiping coach at first, but Zhang Weiping didn't feel kind.

"It's okay, I'm in my forties, it's good to train more!"

"On the contrary, it's you kid, you really have to be leisurely, there's no need to fight so hard, you have a great future in the future!"

"If you train yourself to waste, then the gains outweigh the losses!"

"I'm still saying that, you're definitely a superstar in the future!"

Zhang Weiping gasped and said to Kobe Bryant with a smile......

Kobe Bryant's heart warmed and praised himself for becoming a superstar in the future, this is not the first time Kobe has heard this kind of words!

But I only saw sincerity and firmness in Zhang Weiping's eyes!

Zhang Weiping is extremely sure that Kobe Bryant will become a superstar, and he is more determined than Jerry West in this regard!

Even Jerry West wasn't sure that Kobe Bryant would become a superstar 100 percent in the future......

But Zhang Weiping is 100% sure!

And it's not just Zhang Weiping's firm and sincere eyes, just that Zhang Weiping can train with him at this point, which is enough to move Kobe!

"Zhang, I have to work hard!"

"Only hard work can shorten my growth time, and I don't want to average only 12 shots per game next year!" Kobe Bryant clenched his fists and said firmly.

Zhang Weiping patted the eighteen-year-old child on the shoulder, "Child, I know that you may be dissatisfied with Richard in your heart......"

"I've heard about the original incident, but in fact, I really don't blame Richard for this!"

"If you think about his identity, the most successful talented young coach in the NCAA, he coaches nine talented young coaches, and if you were him, you heard that the young people you chose didn't want to play for you!"

"What would you do?"

Zhang Weiping asked slowly with a smile.

"Zhang, I may not even give him a chance, just abolish him!"

Zhang Weiping was stunned: "Your kid's temperament is really extreme enough, you see, you also said that if it were you, you would directly abolish that kid......"

Kobe nodded, this paranoid personality is innate, and he thought about it carefully, if he was really in Richard's position, the young man he chose refused to play for him......

Then the most likely thing for him is to make that young man's life worse than death!

Even if you waste your precious draft picks, you will never give that boy who doesn't know the sky and the earth to be thick and have any chance!

"But what he said at the time was too much......

"You don't know that look on his face at the time, God, it was definitely a demonic smile!"

Kobe Bryant now thinks about Richard's expression for a moment, and he can't help but shiver......

Zhang Weiping smiled bitterly, during the time he was in contact with Richard, he also discovered this problem!

When Richard laughed normally, he looked very sunny, after all, he was not very old, and he was not yet thirty years old.

But there are some moments when he shouldn't laugh, if Richard laughs, that smile is so evil that even Zhang Weiping is panicked when he looks at it......

For example, in the first game of their preseason game against the Warriors, Richard laughed evil from time to time off the court, Zhang Weiping saw it clearly, and he knew very well what kind of state Richard Kobe was facing at that time.

"Richard is a capable person, Kobe, you remember, people with ability must have something different from ordinary people......" Zhang Weiping could only explain like this.

"By the way, Zhang, I heard them say that you and Richard have a good relationship and have mutual friends in China......"

"I'm more curious, why are you all Chinese, but the personality gap is so big, I originally thought that Chinese were as easy-going as you, but obviously not ......"

Zhang Weiping hesitated for a moment this question, and he didn't know how to answer it......

"Ahem, maybe he hasn't received education in the core values of socialism, we are not much different from him......"

……

"Kobe, be smart when you shoot on the court, you only have 12 chances to shoot, you must cherish it!"

"Zhang, I've cherished it enough!"

"No, you don't cherish it enough, in fact, the rule that Richard set for you is not without loopholes, you think about it, the offensive rounds you go to the free throw line are not counted as the number of shots......"

"Boy, you know what I mean......"

"If you want to score more, you have to fight for more opportunities to get to the free throw line!"

"Next, I'll defend, you will attack, let's practice how to make fouls more efficiently!"

Zhang Weiping was almost rested, and stood up energetically.

Kobe Bryant is also full of energy, even if he is only eighteen years old now, but he has a special paranoia about scoring in his bones, and now he is looking for a way to score more points, and it does not violate Richard's shackles, Kobe Bryant is naturally full of joy.

If Richard knew the rules he had set for Kobe Bryant, and Zhang Weiping figured out the loopholes, I am afraid he would be speechless......

However, even if he knew, Richard would definitely turn a blind eye!

The purpose of the shackles is not essentially to limit Kobe Bryant's scoring, but to make Kobe cherish the right to shoot.

Now Kobe, under the leadership of Zhang Weiping, has found another way, without increasing the number of shots and technical statistics, he can still score more points, and he can also improve his ability to make fouls early, which is undoubtedly a good thing.

There's really no reason for Richard to stop it.
