"Tang, let's go, I'll take you to visit my sweetheart." After leaving the training hall, Kobe said to Tang Hao with a smile.

"Sweetheart? Is it your wife?" Tang Hao asked in confusion.

"No, it's not Vanessa, but you will definitely fall in love with it when you see him."

Kobe's words made Tang Hao full of curiosity. He followed Kobe and soon arrived at an open space next door. To be precise, it should be a parking lot.

However, there was not a single car in this parking lot, only a red helicopter was parked there, and Kobe's logo was printed on the fuselage.

Tang Hao is worth a lot now, but he still looks surprised when he sees the exclusive helicopter in front of him.

"How is it, my sweetheart isn't it?" Kobe said with a smile.

"You wouldn't tell me that you usually come to the stadium, right?" Tang Hao said speechlessly.

"You're really guessing it. Come on, I'll take you for a ride. The night view in Los Angeles is quite good." Kobe said and got on the plane.

Tang Hao also climbed up.

After a while, the helicopter propeller rotated and slowly took off.

"This is absolutely not allowed in our China." Tang Hao said.

"But this is the United States. I suggest you also consider buying one. Although the speed may not be faster than Ferrari, there will be no traffic jams." Kobe said.

"Well, you can think about it." Tang Hao nodded. Speaking of the past two years, he has been busy with competitions every day, and he has invested all his spare money in charity, and he has not improved his personal life well.

The helicopter hovered over Los Angeles, and through the glass windows, you could see the beautiful scenery of Los Angeles. Especially when passing by Hollywood, the conspicuous logo gave people a very domineering feeling.

"I bought the plane two years ago." Kobe said at this time.

Tang Hao took his gaze from the window and turned to look at Kobe.

"My ankle, after being injured, can't be in a space that is too compressed." Kobe said.

Tang Hao was a little surprised, but this made him more accepting.

NBA players, not to mention top players, even star players are millionaires. Many of them like to show off their wealth, but Kobe is not in this ranks. When he first met "sweetheart", Tang Hao's surprise was somewhat because of this. After Kobe's explanation, he quickly understood it.

Taking Kobe's plane to enjoy the beautiful scenery over Los Angeles for a night, for Tang Hao, this was the best experience he had since arrived at the Lakers.

The NBA preseason started on October 5th, which means that Tang Hao only had two days of training before the game started.

The next day, Tang Hao participated in the team's full-game confrontation training.

I don’t know if it was Thomas Scott’s inspection report or Kobe said privately, but when the Lakers head coach Scott directly arranged Tang Hao as the team’s shooting guard during the whole game.

This arrangement surprised the players.

You know, although Tang Hao is a rookie with a high pick, he is still a rookie after all, and he has been working with the team for a very short time.

However, after the entire game began, the players all agreed to this.

Although Tang Hao is not very good at tactical running because of his new joining the team, he does not perform like a rookie in other aspects except this. He is one of the top players in the team in terms of ability and mentality.

Kobe is also willing to make a ball for Tang Hao. He has always liked to do it alone and has sent many good balls to Tang Hao in succession.

Tang Hao was also quite powerful, basically all his shots were in, and he also made steals from time to time on the defensive end.

Scott laughed from ear to ear to ear on the sidelines. Tang Hao is so powerful that his combat power is so strong. The combination of one old and one young will definitely shock the entire league.

The match on the court continued. Kobe made a beautiful pass while breaking through and gave Tang Hao a beautiful pass. Tang Hao received the ball and made a light three-step layup.

But at this moment, an accident occurred suddenly.

Tang Hao stepped on Clarkson's feet in the third step, and he fell to the ground, frowned and hugged his ankle.

This happened so suddenly that no other team members could react.

Clarkson immediately asked him about Tang Hao coming.

Kobe also ran over immediately.

"How are you?" Kobe's face was full of concern. He had a lot of affection for Tang Hao. His experience last night made the two of them close. He was most worried about the injury.

"It's a spook." Tang Hao tried to stand up with the help of his teammates, but when he stepped on his feet, he felt a biting pain, so he could only give up.

"Jordan (Clarkson)! Why are you so careless?" Kobe looked at Clarkson with some displeasure when he saw this scene.

"I..." Clarkson wanted to explain, but he was stared at him like this and didn't say anything.

"It's not his fault, I didn't pay attention." Tang Hao waved his hand and sprained his ankle on the court. Clarkson is the main player of the team. He doesn't want Kobe to take his anger out of his teammates because of this incident.

"Nick, help, let's help him to the infirmary." Kobe said hello to Nick Young.

Clarkson wanted to help, but Kobe stared back coldly.

Kobe and Nick Yang helped Tang Hao to the infirmary, and Scott followed behind.

He was fantasizing about this dream combination the next second, but his dream broke down the next second. He was also unlucky enough.

When I arrived at the locker room, the team doctor checked Tang Hao, and the result was good news.

Although Tang Hao's sprained ankle was a bit serious, he did not injure the Achilles tendon and other joints. He would be cured for two weeks.

Upon hearing this news, Kobe breathed a sigh of relief. He was injured in the Achilles tendon and had been recuperating intermittently for two seasons before. He didn't want Tang Hao to encounter the same situation as him.

"Get well to recover. Now that I think about it, I shouldn't have pulled you to practice more last night." Kobe said with some self-blame.

"Kobe, it's wrong for you to say this. Extra training and other things have no effect on me at all."

"Yes, your physique."

"But at this point, I really have an opinion."

"Hmm?" Kobe looked at Tang Hao in confusion.

"When I watched the team members train yesterday, my face was a little unwilling. I know that the training has lasted for more than half a month. It has been so intense. Will the team members be a little tired in their mentality, right?"

"No, they are all professional players, and this is NBA. 82 long games, and this half month is nothing compared to this." Kobe said and waved his hand.

"I have a different view." Tang Hao did not completely refute Kobe, but said, "NBA is the top league in basketball in the world, but in fact, the biggest difference between players and ordinary employees is just how much money they earn. Playing games is the same as clocking in at work, which is what it should be, but this training is not. It is like working overtime, not only adding, but also adding for so long, and there will be complaints in your personal stomach."

Kobe looked at Tang Hao, thinking.

"Because you are there, they dare not say anything, but I think this thing is kept in my heart. Over time, it will affect the emotions of the players, and close to them will affect their performance on the court."

After hearing this, Kobe was silent for a while, then nodded and said, "What you said is not completely unreasonable."

The Lakers' preseason is the Western Conference powerhouse Spurs.

Although Tang Hao could not play, he still insisted on sitting on the sidelines with a bandage, which was also a model.

The preseason is not the regular season, and most teams are looking for new players, but weak teams like the Lakers strive to win and make a good start for the season.

This can be seen from the beginning of the game that Kobe repeatedly rushed to the basket to grab points, and his score was very strong.

However, the Spurs' strength is much stronger than the Lakers. Although Kobe scored 12 points in 4 of 8 shots in a single quarter, the Spurs still led the Lakers by 7 points 28-21.

This is also a microcosm of the game. The Spurs played all substitutes in the second half, and finally defeated the Lakers 98-91, winning their first preseason victory.

At the end of the game, Kobe was not in a good mood, and Tang Hao did not hit the gun.

After the competition, he asked Zhuang Jiajie to support him to the underground garage.

Yesterday he asked Zhuang Jiajie to go to the mall to pick up a top-end Rolls-Royce Phantom, which can be regarded as giving his injured foot a more comfortable enjoyment.

The NBA preseason continues, and the rookies of each team also show their abilities and talents on this platform.

However, the performance of this rookie is really shocking.

No. 1 Wiggins was traded by the Cavaliers to the Timberwolves, playing two games, with a shooting percentage of 36%, averaging 9.6 points and 3.2 rebounds per game, and his performance was unconvincing.

Jabarri Parker, this performed well, but he only scored 20 points against Wiggins, and the remaining two games were scored in single digits.

Joel Embiid, direct season reimbursement.

Aaron Gordon and Dante Assam performed even more, and the average score per game was not even double digits.

Smart was even more miserable. After several preseason games, his strength advantage was not too late to perform. The unstable shooting factor was infinitely amplified, and his shooting percentage was barely exceeded 30% in three games.

Tang Hao is like Embiid, and he hangs the battle-free card.

Later Randall, Nick Stauskas, Noah Von Leigh, and Elfried Payton performed worse than the other.

Such a performance also attracted a burst of jokes from t. n. t.

t. n. t well-known commentator Charles Barkley complained to his old partner Kenny Smith on the show.

"To be honest, I'm increasingly unable to understand these guys now. In them, I haven't seen Michael (Jordan), Allen (Iverson), and even Kevin (Durant), the young players nowadays, perform so badly. Are there anything else worth paying attention to in them except potential?"

The performance of these rookie players on the court was released on the show, which attracted a series of complaints and jokes from Barkley and Smith.

When the video was put on Stauskas dribbling directly into the opponent's hand, Barkley finally couldn't watch it anymore and slapped the table and said, "Switch it off, man, turn it off, it's really a bunch of shit, these people are really terrible."

Barkley's reaction attracted a burst of laughter from Smith.

After the program was released, it immediately attracted a wave of controversy and protests. The biggest response was naturally the rookies named in the video.

As for those old team members, they basically laughed at Barkley's show, after all, they knew that Barkley did that for the performance of the show.

However, Kobe is one of the few players among the old players who are boycotting the show.

"Hey, Charles, it's not such a glorious thing to cancel others to entertain the public. I think you should apologize to these players, after all, who is not still a rookie?"
