Chapter 1019 (1/2)

Link didn't forget his first morning training with Kobe.

At that time, it was during the all star game. At that time, he was just an amazing loser. And Kobe still dominates the league.

At that time, no one would compare link to Jordan.

At that time, Kobe could easily defeat link in one-on-one.

At that time, Kobe had room to coach link.

But now?

Link is nearly 30 years old. He has gone from a wet draft to a superstar with three championship rings. And it's at its peak.

And the superstar who ruled the League at the beginning has retired at home.

This year, Kobe Bryant is 38.

Los Angeles in the early hours of the morning, just like link felt when he first trained in the morning.

Quiet, extremely quiet, the noise of Los Angeles metropolis on weekdays, only this kind of time can temporarily subside.

This quiet state has an advantage, that is, it can let people hear their own inner voice. At this time, people's minds are extremely clear.

So neither Kobe nor link spoke to each other. They just silently look out the window at the street, looking at the sky which is still dark, but can already see a glimmer of dawn.

Then, think about your own business separately.

Link and Kobe get off at Venice Beach court, a famous street court in Los Angeles, which is always crowded during the day.

But at 4 a.m., the venue was empty, in stark contrast to the noise of the day.

Link took a deep breath. In the sea breeze, even the air seemed salty.

The golden beach stretches along the highway, dividing the view into two distinct worlds. On one side is the endless Pacific Ocean, the sea is blue. On one side are lush tropical woods and the busy streets of Los Angeles.

And the sky blue Venice Beach course is located on this ”dividing line”.

Compared with those in the reinforced concrete Street Court, Venice Beach court, obviously let link yearn for.

He and Kobe looked at each other and laughed. In an instant, they are all in spirit.

Link raised the basketball and made a three-point jump shot.

As link has done countless times, the basketball is hollow into the net.

Kobe picked up the basketball and ran to the other half, barely finishing a dunk.

Green trees, yellow sand, endless coastline, beautiful sky blue court and an orange basketball... The happiness of the super rich is sometimes so simple.

”Come on, the warm-up is almost over. Let's start!”

After a few more minutes, Kobe pushed the ball to link and then put on a defensive stance.

It's very clear. He's going to fight link!

”I don't dare to fight you. If I break you, Vanessa will have to kill me.” Link said no, but he was honest.

He dribbled slowly, alternating his left and right hands, ready to attack.

”You think I'm really old? I don't retire because I'm old. I don't want to play with you anymore. Come on

As soon as Kobe's voice dropped, link suddenly sped up to the ”black mamba” in front of him.

Before Kobe had time to take the stride, link quickly turned around and floated past him.

In just one step, link passed the member who had been the NBA's best defensive team member for nine times.

Kobe turned to chase back, but by this time, link had already jumped high with the ball.

Kobe was a little surprised. Did he take off so early? Link should have stepped on the free throw line and jumped!

But soon, Kobe regained his composure.

This guy in front of him is link. Is there anything he can't do?

In the air, link fully stretched out his body. After gliding for a distance, split the ball into the box with one hand.

A Tomahawk chop from the free throw line, link easily made it.

”1 to 0, old COE.”

”It's only 1:0, keep going Kobe can see that link doesn't mean to let water go.

But that's why Kobe likes this guy.
