Superstar Athletes’ Black Tech Systems

Chapter 73: A Generation of Car Kings

Los Angeles in summer is a paradise for tourists, vacationers and all kinds of sportsmen.

If we say that starting from the 1930s, the center of gravity of basketball was in New York, Philadelphia, and Massachusetts in the Northeast.

By the 1980s, more and more NBA players began to like to come to the West Coast to spend the hot time of the offseason.

The Lakers' magician took the lead in all this. This charismatic league superstar attracted many players to ULCA for training games in the summer to keep in shape until the start of the new season.

Gradually, this became a practice. Players no longer want to stay in the cold and narrow northeast region, and prefer to come to the Pacific coast with sunshine, sandy beaches, blue sky and white clouds.

When the NBA was suspended in the summer of 2011, top league stars like LeBron James and Kobe Bryant all came to Los Angeles to participate in the Drew League here, making this amateur league famous.

Every summer, more than 50% of the players in the league will come to Los Angeles to spend a fulfilling vacation.

Angel City is a big sports city, and there are various gymnasiums and fitness centers all over the city.

The gymnasiums of middle schools and universities are open to the public during the holidays. As long as you make an appointment and pay a rent, you can play here to your heart's content.

Players come to Los Angeles to train and never have to worry about the venue.

ULCA used to be the favorite place for stars, not only because it is the alma mater of many superstars, but also because their venue facilities are superb.

On the north side of UCLA, across Sunset Boulevard and Bel-Air Country Club, is a valley area-Bel Air.

Los Angeles' Stone Canyon Reservoir is located here, surrounded by Los Angeles' high-end residential communities.

And in this valley, there is a very special basketball training hall.

The owner of this basketball practice facility, an avid Lakers fan, built the arena according to the configuration of Staples Field.

It's decorated with Los Angeles Lakers floors, logos, and even a fake Lakers honor showroom.

It can be said to be a high imitation Staples Center.

If there are Lakers players or other NBA stars who want to play here, the owner of the arena will generously use it.

Of course, there is a very special place in this arena.

That is it is located on a hill and there is no cell phone signal here.

After coming to the arena, the players can only concentrate on playing, and want to make calls and play mobile phones, but they can't.

On July 3rd, several luxury cars were parked in the square at the entrance of the arena, and some players came here for training.

A white Land Rover stopped at the gate of the square, and two black people got out of the car.

One of them is John Wall, the head guard of the Washington Wizards, and the other is Terrence Jones, a forward who was just selected by the Houston Rockets this year.

The two were good friends in college and came to Los Angeles together today to participate in a small training camp.

"This guy Bruce doesn't know if he has arrived. There is no signal on the mountain, so he can't make a call." Wall complained.

Li Liang contacted him on Instagram the day before yesterday, saying that he wanted to invite him to Los Angeles to participate in the training camp, along with those former Kentucky alumni.

Walben wanted to come to Los Angeles, and Li Liang's invitation was exactly what he wanted.

It's just that he didn't know, where did Li Liang get the money to hold the training camp?

Entering the arena, the two found that this was a little Staples.

Wall has played at Staples, and he knows the structure of the Staples Arena, the floor, and the seating.

Although the arena is much smaller, the details are perfectly restored, and the seats on the sidelines are all of the same model.

Such a arena, the cost of renting a day is certainly not small.

Terence Jones said: "I heard that Bruce's family is very rich, and his family seems to sell tanks in China."

Wall said: "Sell tanks? Then his family is an arms dealer? No wonder, then he doesn't need to enter the NBA."

Li Liang's family obviously sells agricultural machinery, but he is secretive. Except for a few people who know what's going on, others don't quite understand.

Terrence Jones doesn't think much in circles, so he heard rumors that Li Liang's family sold tanks.

He didn't know that there were no private arms dealers in China, and even if there were smugglers, they wouldn't smuggle tanks!

There are already several players warming up in the arena.

Wall came up to say hello: "Hey, Boogie!"

Wall called his former partner DeMarcus Cousins.

Others include Brandon Knight, Lamb, Davis, McGee and others.

They were all wearing Kentucky uniforms, and it was a true Kentucky party.

After receiving Li Liang's invitation, they all suspended their vacations and came to Los Angeles.

It is indeed a good choice for everyone to take such an opportunity to train well.

Like Anthony Davis, Li Liang tricked this kid in a few words.

Said that training in Los Angeles, you can see many Hollywood stars, and you can sign autographs and take photos together.

I didn't know until I got to the training ground that there was a Hollywood star with a hammer, and there was no signal.

Everyone waited for another half an hour, and at about 10 am, everyone was almost there.

Since Calipari came to Kentucky in 2009, a group of star players trained by him have gathered on this unnamed hill in Los Angeles.

And the man who summoned them, the Kentucky water cooler, has yet to show up.

Because the mobile phone has no signal, Wall and others have no way to contact him.

When everyone was cursing Li Liang behind his back for what kind of plane he was doing, a fat man appeared in the arena and said that Li Liang was coming soon.

It was Wei Dazhi, who followed Li Liang today and said: "Everyone, wait a minute, wait a moment, Bruce Lee was dragged by Kobe to practice together in the morning, it will be over soon, and they will come together."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

What, Kobe is coming too?

Is Bruce Lee a courtesan?

So soon to catch up with the head of the Lakers?

The two of you train together in the morning, and you still want to come here together?

Thinking that Kobe would come to participate in training, everyone became excited.

You must know that the training methods of many superstars are very unique and cannot be disclosed.

When people like Kobe, James, Wade and others conduct summer training, they keep it secret from the outside world, and irrelevant people cannot watch and shoot.

Earlier, Michael Jordan, the god of basketball, implemented the "breakfast plan" during his two three-peat championships. The specific training methods and content are still a secret.

It is definitely very rewarding to be able to train with a superstar like Kobe and get a glimpse of everyone's way.

Everyone is looking forward to this small training camp even more.

Five minutes later, Li Liang ran in from the door panting.

Seeing the familiar faces on the court, Li Liang waved to everyone, and ran into the locker room behind.

Bryant followed, wearing a black T-shirt and purple Lakers sweatpants.

His face was steaming, he looked like he had just finished exercising, and when he saw the Kentucky generals, he came forward to say hello.

Bryant rarely chatted with young people on the court.

As he grew older, the sharp side of his character gradually became less and less.

The coldness remained on the field, but off the field he was much more approachable.

He began to guide the young people of the league as a senior.

"Is Bruce Lee a classmate of yours? This kid is nice, he is my friend. He told me the day before yesterday that he wanted to set up a training camp for Kentucky players and asked me for help. I chose this place, and it's not bad."

Kobe said, picked up the ball and completed a mid-range shot, and the ball went hollow into the net.

Everyone was a little surprised, how did Bruce Lee become Kobe's friend?

It turns out that he still has this relationship, this kid is indeed a social butterfly.

In fact, this is the role played by the self-cooked fragrance.

At the time of the trial training, Kobe had just lost the playoffs and was depressed.

Even if his father came over, Kobe would not give him a good face, let alone Li Liang.

Wait for time to slowly erase the frustration caused by failure, and the self-made fragrance will play a role.

In order to avenge Li Liang for dunking on his head, Kobe told West to let him take some time and arrange for Li Liang to train with him.

Of course, Kobe couldn't tell Li Liang directly about this kind of thing, otherwise he would lose his reputation.

West, however, understood Kobe's thoughts, and it happened that Li Liang came to his door and said that he wanted to have a training camp.

Well, add Kobe, the kind who is not very good at playing.

Today, Kobe asked Li Liang to go out early in the morning, and first went to the training hall for aerobic training.

Li Liang didn't refuse, and followed Kobe to run around the Stone Canyon Reservoir.

As a result, I ran for almost two hours!

I feel like I can't finish running on the road!

After running around the reservoir for countless times, Li Liang felt like his legs were about to break.

The key is not the length of the time distance, but it is really tiring to keep up with Kobe's pace.

Once back in the training facility, he went back to the locker room, hydrated and threw up.

Li Liang hadn't exercised for a long time until he vomited.

When he felt better, Li Liang changed his clothes and went back to the court. He saw that Kobe was playing three-on-three with Wall and others at halftime.

Kobe looked like a normal person, dribbling, passing, and breaking through normally.

This physical strength is really terrifying.

Li Liang thought to himself, it would be a pity not to pull a rickshaw with Kobe's physical fitness.

If he pulls a rickshaw, he will definitely be a self-employed star, a generation of car king.

It seems that my physical fitness still needs to be strengthened.
