Super Legendary Superstar

In the afternoon, Sun Zhuo took Wade to the Los Angeles Lakers training facility. For this purpose, Wade even wore a Lakers No. 8 Kobe Bryant jersey. He joked that he was afraid of being kicked out by Kobe Bryant.

Wade felt weird wearing the Lakers' gold jersey. Sun Zhuo had never seen him wearing such a color jersey. The Heat jerseys were basically white, red, and black, and the Bulls jerseys were also white and red. At Marquette University, the jerseys were white, red, and black. The jersey is a bit similar to the current Pacers jersey, and there is no yellow. Wade doesn't look like a Laker player.

After entering the court, Sun Zhuo and Wade greeted everyone: "I brought a friend here, Dwyane Wade from the Heat. You should know him."

Wade shyly faced the Lakers generals. He felt that everyone in front of him, not only veterans such as O'Neal, Kobe Bryant, Karl Malone, and Payton, but even the rookie Walton looked very majestic. Wade smiled shyly and said: "Hello everyone. , I am here to visit and study, if there is any inconvenience, Coach Phil, I can leave at any time."

Phil Jackson also paid close attention to the young people in front of him and admired Wade's skills very much. What's more, he was Sun Zhuo's friend. Phil Jackson smiled and said: "We don't have any tactical secrets to talk about. We will do some meditation together later. You You're free to do whatever you want here, but I guess Pat Riley doesn't know you're here."

Others laughed, knowing that Pat Riley is a very strict and old-school guy. He never likes his players to have too close contact with opponents in private. When Riley was coaching the New York Knicks, the Knicks There was a friend on the Knicks team who had a very good relationship with Jordan, named Oakley. Jordan wanted to ask Oakley to have dinner with him, but Riley refused. Ewing of the Knicks was about the same age as Jordan, and Jordan also wanted to go with him. They became friends, but because of Riley's relationship, Jordan couldn't meet or have dinner with Ewing in private.

"Hey, that kid wearing my jersey, come here and challenge me." As soon as Kobe saw Wade wearing his jersey, he immediately hooked Wade.

Kobe has always wanted to challenge Sun Zhuo to a duel, but Sun Zhuo refused. At first, Kobe thought Sun Zhuo was afraid of him. Later, he realized that Sun Zhuo had been hiding his strength. If he wanted to beat Kobe, he would definitely hide it. Sun Zhuo naturally didn't want to have his abilities exposed, but he didn't want to lose to Kobe, so Kobe didn't think Sun Zhuo would agree to his challenge in a short time.

But Wade is different.

Kobe also played against Wade. In Kobe's mind, judging from the current strength of Wade and Sun Zhuo, Wade is even better than Sun Zhuo, and much better.

"Oh, no, I'm just here to see how you are preparing for the finals." Wade shied away. Although he also wanted to challenge Kobe in a one-on-one match, Wade liked to watch Kobe play and could be considered a fan of Kobe. , but his idol is still absolutely Michael Jordan, but Kobe has been challenging Jordan's authority, which is something that no Jordan fan can stand.

The first thing Kobe Bryant said when he met Jordan was, "I will beat you up one on one." In Wade's view, this was extremely disrespectful.

"Hey, maybe you are already the boss of Miami, but in this arena, I have the final say." Kobe immediately threw the ball to Wade. He couldn't wait because he knew Wade was definitely a good opponent.

"Okay." Wade is not a coward. This is the hero who once broke the bridge of Kobe's nose...

So, as soon as Sun Zhuo arrived at the training ground, he saw Kobe VS Wade that he had been looking forward to for two lifetimes.

Kobe is now very proficient in offensive skills, while Wade is still a little immature and slightly lacking in self-confidence. But one-on-one, Wade's explosive power, speed, and defense are really not weaker than Kobe's.

When Kobe faced Wade at the beginning, he used all kinds of dazzling skills to score points, a bit like bullying the young Wade, but Wade soon became serious. His defense was very good. Kobe broke through, and Wade directly reached out and broke it. Kobe For a layup, Wade could even block Kobe's ball!

"Wow, this guy D-WADE can do this one-on-one with Kobe. There are not many people in the world." Seeing this, O'Neal couldn't help but look at Wade with admiration.

Karl Malone even asked in a low voice: "Do you think, in a few years, will this kid replace Kobe as the league's number one shooting guard?"

O'Neal kept nodding in approval, and even Phil Jackson couldn't help but sigh: "Riley, you really found a treasure. With such a character, in less than two years, the Heat will become a team competing for the championship. By then, , will you come back to coach? Do you want to compete with me again? I'm looking forward to it."

At halftime, Kobe and Wade became more and more energetic. After a real one-on-one contest, Kobe realized that Wade was far stronger than he thought. They had fought several times before in the game, but it was not a real contest. De did not show his strongest side in the game.

"This guy is indeed very strong. No wonder Sun admires him so much. Sun's vision is really good." It was only after Kobe played against Wade that he realized that Wade was different from other players in toughness and strength, but Sun Zhuo had already See it.

After playing for a while, Phil stepped forward and stopped: "Okay, Kobe, Dwyane is a guest, don't keep embarrassing him, let's meditate together, Dwyane, if you are interested, you can join."

"What? Meditation? Okay." Wade wiped his sweat. One-on-one with Kobe was really a huge drain on physical strength and mental energy, but it was a kind of growth for him.

Hearing what Phil Jackson said about meditation, Wade felt it was quite new, because he had never experienced it with the Heat, and he never expected that at the beginning of the finals, Jackson would not let the whole team train, but went to Doing these weird things.

Sun Zhuo saw Wade's curiosity and explained to Wade: "Phil often makes these things, and this is what makes him unique."

In fact, there is a reason why Phil Jackson chose to lead everyone to meditate at this time. Now that the Lakers have just won the Western Conference championship, easily avenged their old rival Spurs, and swept the first-place Timberwolves in the Western Conference, their self-confidence is a bit too inflated, plus the Eastern Conference The opponent over there has not been determined yet, they don't know who they are going to fight, and they are all a little flustered.

The most important point is that both Kobe and O'Neal want to win the FMVP this time, so Phil wants everyone, especially Kobe and O'Neal, to calm down.

Phil first sat in a zazen posture, faced everyone, and said: "When I was a child, my mother often told me the Bible. She often said that an empty brain is the devil's playground, but I think it is the opposite. The point of view is correct. I am not interested in filling my brain with useless things. I want my brain to rest and let it be what it is. Later, in the third year after my daughter was born, I We built a house on Flathead Lake in Montana. After setting up the frame, we hired a construction worker to help with the follow-up work. This worker impressed me because his demeanor was calm and focused, and he worked without any distractions. I later learned that he was studying Zen at the monastery in Mount Shasta in Northern California, so I read Shunryu Suzuki's classic book "The Original Mind of the Zen Master", and I finally found a method that could help me control my active brain. The most important thing is meditation. I hope it can also help you in the next period of time."
