Restricted area thugs

As soon as Cao Pi walked into the training hall of the Staples Center, he immediately heard the sound of “banging” slapping basketball.

The NBA Finals ended in mid-June, but in fact, for the Lakers, who did not make the playoffs, the players have been resting for almost 4 months.

This wave of players in the Lakers has long ended their vacation, and now the whole team is back in training.

In a few days, the summer league will start, and several young guys of the Lakers are also doing their best to complete their personal training, not to mention that there is Kobe Bryant, the tiger, and they dare not be lazy when the Lakers’ group of people train.

Cao Pei walked into the training management, and in the blink of an eye, all of them were people he was familiar with.

Louis Williams, Jordan Clarkson, Julius Randall, Nick Young, Robert Thackeray, Tariq Black….

And, of course, the most familiar figure, Kobe Bryant.

Shortly after Cao Thunder’s arrival, Larinance Jr. and Anthony Bulang also appeared, and it seemed that the latter two were slightly nervous.

But Cao did not show any nervousness, and under the guidance of the head coach, they went to the dressing room to change their clothes.

The training session has not yet begun, the players are still warming up, Cao Pi has also put on training clothes, under a separate basket to warm up, the people next to him are not familiar with Cao Pi, and they have not come forward to greet and communicate.

The atmosphere was slightly awkward….

Lariance Jr. and Anthony Broang are also talking and laughing with other Lakers old players, and they seem a little out of place.

“Cao, are you warming up?”

After Cao Pi warmed up for a few minutes, suddenly someone behind him called his name.

It’s Kobe!

Cao knew that there must be something wrong with Kobe Bryant calling him over.

“I’m fine.” Cao said.

“If you warm up, let’s have a 1-on-1 bullfight!” Kobe Bryant said directly without nonsense.

Kobe took the initiative to find Cao Thunderbolt, which immediately attracted the attention of all the players on the Lakers.

Clarkson, Lewy, Randle and other players came to join in the fun.

“Cao, bullfighting with the boss is something that all rookies will experience, the boss wants to fight with you by name, don’t be intimidated!” Nick Young said to Cao Thunder with a smile.

Not only Nick Young, Randall was also coaxing Cao to fight, and Clarkson was also whistling.

Even head coach Byron Scott looked over this way.

“Not interested!”

Cao Thunder glanced at everyone and just said lightly.

“Are you afraid?!”

After Kobe heard this, he immediately frowned, in fact, he is no longer the same as he used to be, and the one-on-one level has long been out of the crowd, let him fight with Cao Thunder’s one-on-one bullfight, he does not have absolute confidence that he can definitely win Cao Thunder.

One of his purposes for doing this is indeed to investigate Cao Lei’s basic skills, but in fact, more importantly, he wants to see if this list show has the fighting spirit he likes.

Or rather, guts!

As a Lakers player, mental endurance and competitiveness are essential qualities.

The players Kobe likes can be physically gifted and weak, but they must have a competitive and hardworking heart.

He doesn’t want Cao Thunder, who was drafted by the Lakers, to have the spirit he said.

And this Cao Qiao, who directly rejected his challenge, did not seem to have any guts.

Bryant couldn’t help but be a little disappointed.

“I don’t want to bully the old gentleman, fight with you bullfighting, not as strong as my warm-up body.” Cao Pei said lightly.

As soon as Cao Lei’s words came out, Kobe’s expression immediately froze.

He was just a little disappointed that Cao Pi did not dare to fight, but Cao Pi’s next words made him make a 180-degree turn.

This newcomer… It’s a bit crazy!

The giggling teammates next to them also stopped laughing and did not dare to speak.

What Cao Pei just said did have a great smell of gunpowder.

“Bullfighting with you, not as strong as my warm-up!”

That’s crazy….

It was all about Kobe Bryant as air.

The atmosphere fell into some solemnity.

It’s like a century war, just a powder keg, about to break out.

“I don’t mean anything else, but I’m telling the truth, it’s really not too challenging to beat you, if you really want to test my strength or my personality, we can play a 5v5 match, the choice is arbitrary.”

Cao Piao found a step for Kobe Bryant to go down.

However, Kobe was already on the verge of anger.

“Kobe, you and Cao themselves are not players in the same position, this cannot be compared, there are still more than 20 minutes to start today’s training session, let’s have a 5v5 competition!”

Seeing that the two people seemed to have a posture that was about to fight, Byron Scott next to him came over and said.
