Back home, Kobe sat in the living room watching TV. But it's more like waiting for Wang Hao?
"I'm back? Boy. Come and sit down.". Kobe first talked about it.
"What's wrong, old man?".
"Report to the team tomorrow. Don't forget. The summer league is about to begin. Are you going to play?".
"Don't go, just finished the World Championships, take a rest. Let's play the preseason!". Wang Hao thought for a while and said.
"Sure. It's okay to take a break to avoid lack of physical strength later in the season." Kobe also agreed.
The Lakers training ground the next day.
The Lakers did a comprehensive physical test on the players who came to report.
Wang Hao was surprised to find that it was 4 cm longer. The barefoot height of 211CM bench press is also much stronger than when he first entered the NCAA and became 185 kg.
Now Wang Hao's physical fitness is developing more and more inside, but he himself still shamelessly insists on being a small forward.
Look at Millsap, who is 203 in height as a power forward, and Tucker, who has a height of 198CM, who topped the center in the small ball era.
I really want to ask "Your Majesty Tyrant".
"Aren't you ashamed?"
It doesn't matter whether it is embarrassing or not. Looking at the list of people reported by the Lakers, Wang Hao knew that his small forward is not that simple. The position to play depends on the opponent's strength.
"Surface small forward." That's right, Wang Hao gave his own position a definition.
So far, the 14-man roster for the Lakers has been initially determined. Kobe also changed his jersey number from No. 8 to No. 24 in the new season.
He is here, he is here, the Kobe on the 24th is here.
"Corvo, can you rent a house for me?". On the way home, Wang Hao said.
"Why do you feel uncomfortable living in my house?". Kobe answered with some ugly expression.
"No, of course it's comfortable to live, but Yi Jianlian is coming to the United States, I want him to live with me, and Aomei and I also need some space?". After speaking, Wang Hao flushed.
"Is it important to be with Aomei? Go home first. I still have a house in Beverly Hills. You can live in it first.". Kobe made the arrangements for Wang Hao plainly and lightly.
"Thank you, but I have no money to pay the rent.".
"Ah!.". Kobe gave Wang Hao a look he felt.
"How do you feel that Corvo is watching a hillbilly?".
"Huh? I'm a hillbilly?".
"Dead old man, for the sake of the house, let you go once.".
Wang Hao still decided to forgive the old man generously.
"Give you the key, look for someone to clean it up later." When he got home, Kobe took out a key and threw it to Wang Hao.
"Also, get ready for the new season. The Lakers don't have much time to grow up. You have seen this year's lineup. It is estimated that you will be sent to defend the opposing forward. Are you ready?".
"No problem, my opponent is too weak, I don't think it is interesting.". Wang Hao replied.
One month of training passed in an instant. The final lineup of the Lakers is also determined.
Center: Kwame Brown, Bynum and Aaron Williams from the Raptors. Strikes: Millsap, Tucker, Wang Hao, Turiaf, Vujacic, Brian Cook. Except for Wang Hao, either weak or rookie.
Minutes: Kobe, Morris Peterson, Morris Evans. Point guards: Jordan Farmar, Aron McGee.
A weak lineup. It is estimated that the core tactic of this lineup is Kobe. After Kobe has played Wang Hao, Wang Hao will hand it over to Kobe.
"Perfect.".
In the team rankings released by ESPN in the new season, the Lakers are ranked 9th in the Western Conference. It is estimated that this is still up to Kobe's face, otherwise it will be deadly for the No. 1 pick.
The Lakers have four games in the preseason. Their opponents are the Warriors and the Bobcats. Both play a game at home and away.
With Kobe's arena status, he can naturally play for a few minutes and rest. After all, the preseason. But what does it mean that Wang Hao played less than 20 minutes in 4 games?
"Is Wang Hao, who has just entered the NBA, is so defiant? He actually compares himself with Kobe.". Some unscrupulous media issued a highly inflammatory article.
It's a pity that Wang Hao, whose skin is as thick as basketball, didn't take it seriously. Still go its own way.
"I just can't make it, what can you do?".
There is no objection to the Lakers.
"Is Wang Hao really so strong? Almost as good as Kobe in the Lakers?". Another group of unscrupulous reporters.
But there are still some discerning media. In the article, I specifically pointed out Wang Hao's performance in the World Championships, and helped Wang Hao, thinking that Wang Hao's first priority now is to rest, not to waste his energy in the preseason.
This report has been well received by Lakers fans.
In the end, the Lakers lost all 4 preseason games.
"It doesn't matter, it's just the preseason." This is what the Zen master said.
Domestic fans even gave the combination of Wang Hao, Kobe, and Zen Master a cordial nickname, "King Cobra Group.".
The glasses refer to Zen master. Wang is Wang Hao. Naturally, the snake is Kobe.
I just said it was a cobra playing combination. Later, it was even more excessive that Wang Hao and Kobe played the snake combination directly.
Wang Hao really felt a bit "flattered" about this.
opened the trumpet and spit out crazy on the forum.
But all this in the thousands of navy forces in the celestial dynasty did not even raise a small wave, and it went silent.
The 2006-2007 NBA regular season is scheduled to start on October 31.
The Lakers based in Los Angeles did their part to become one of the protagonists in the opener.
On October 31, the Lakers played against the Phoenix Suns who came to challenge at home.
Whether Wang Hao can afford what the Lakers have done for him will soon be announced.
"Are you nervous? Kid". Kobe asked before entering the field.
"A little bit." Wang Hao returned with a little embarrassment.
"It's good to get used to it." Kobe patted Wang Hao on the shoulder to signal that it was his turn.
As soon as he walked to the door of the player channel, Wang Hao heard the passionate voice of the Lakers' home DJ.
"The next thing that will appear is the tyrant who has been waiting for a season. Wang Hao!!!" DJ lengthened his voice specially.
"tyrant"
"tyrant"
"Tyrant"! ! !
The fans shouted uniformly ~ EbookFREE.me~ Wang Hao was so excited that he could not wait to play 300 rounds now.
"Give you.". Kobe handed over a basketball. His eyes picked the basket.
"Understand." Wang Hao understood in seconds.
With the shouts of the DJ and the cheers of the fans, Wang Hao finally stood on the Staples Field as a Lakers player.
At this moment, the lights of the audience are all concentrated on Wang Hao.
With the help of a weak wait, Wang Hao glanced at the basket. Throw the ball directly at the player passage.
The lighting engineer on the scene hurriedly lit up the vicinity of the basket.
唰! ! ! The ball simply scored.
Seeing the goal, Wang Hao's hanging heart was relieved.
"It's shameful to fail to pretend to be B."
ran over to high-five his teammates one by one.
Then stand together, waiting for the Lakers king, the king of Los Angeles, Kobe Bryant to appear.
did not make people wait for too long, after a passionate introduction by DJ, Kobe appeared on the stage, ushered in the waves of higher and higher waves.
The various performances before the game ended soon, and Staples finally ushered in today's highlight.
Lakers VS Sun. Last season, the Lakers in the first round of the playoffs were pulled by the Suns in four consecutive games with a 3-1 lead. How can such a deep hatred not make some articles? The Tiger Lakers opened the game against the sun. A pair of old friends meet again.
And Kobe will take a break for two games because of an accidental strain during training. The reason why Kobe wears and pays the current bench is also very simple, come to supervise the battle.
It was the first time to face a professional team, and there was also Kobe supervising the battle. Wang Hao, who was not careless, also felt a little pressure.
