"What?" Su Yi didn't understand what Coach McKillop meant.

"I asked you to sign up for Kobe Bryant's private training camp through my connections. Classes will start the day after tomorrow. You can book your tickets now and leave for Los Angeles tomorrow," McKillop said.

Only then did Su Yi understand why McGillop had been praising him in front of Old K. It turned out that it was because he wanted Coach K to have a good impression of him so that he could introduce Kobe to him.

However, McKillop was a little flattered by this arrangement.

"Then why not Stephen Curry?" Su Yi asked doubtfully. Because of such a precious learning opportunity, Curry is much greater than himself in terms of qualifications and contribution to the team.

"He will go to Phoenix to attend Steve Nash's private training camp."

McKillop continued, "Hurry up and pack up. You know, Kobe cherishes his time very much, and he doesn't like people who procrastinate. I hope you can take advantage of this opportunity. You must know how difficult it is to apply for Kobe's private training camp.

.”

Su Yi said: "I can, coach."

McKillop's voice continued to come from the other end of the phone, "Come on, young man, if you want to enter professional basketball in the future, you will have to walk more roads on your own. Remember these three sentences, and you will be better in the future.

Good for you: Talent is given by God, please stay humble. Fame is given by others, please stay grateful. Conceit is given by yourself, please stay cautious."

Beep...beep...beep...

After McKillop gave a brief explanation, he hung up the phone.

Su Yi sat on the bed in the dormitory, quickly went to the computer desk in the dormitory, and wrote down what McKillop said in a notebook with a pen.

He firmly remembered the three sentences MacKillop said.

From this night on, these three sentences became Su Yi's motto.

In his long and glorious career, these three sentences brought him so much excitement, inspiration and vigilance.

Then he leaned on the back of the gaming chair and pondered.

Professional basketball?

Su Yi actually felt a little uneasy when he heard this word. Most of the time, professional basketball is just a beautiful but illusory dream for him.

Even today, there is a big gap between his own strength and being drafted by the NBA.

He just loves basketball and likes the faint fragrance of cowhide when he sleeps with a basketball in his arms.

For the vast majority of NCAA players, they will eventually find their own jobs after graduation. They may be engineers, doctors, or teachers. Basketball is just a beautiful intersection in their lives.

Only a very small number of talented teenagers will be drafted by the NBA and become stars that millions of people will cheer for.

Everyone has a different understanding of basketball.

Some people like basketball because they have black stockings off the court and can change directions like Rose's coolness.

Some people play basketball because they are tall and have a long wingspan. They can make money by playing basketball, but hard training is a great torture for them.

And some people choose to play basketball because they love it deeply from the bottom of their hearts.

Su Yi is the third type.

Although Su Yi is also a person who refuses to admit defeat, he is still a little panicked when he suddenly thinks of training with Kobe.

Because he has heard many stories about Kobe, the stories about torturing his teammates...

Kobe's demands on himself and his teammates were almost cruel, and even professional players couldn't stand it.

Su Yi is really not sure whether he can do well this time, because there is still a big physical gap between professional players and student players.

And with Kobe's character, he would not lower his standards by treating himself as a college player. He would only hold himself to the same standards that he holds for professional players.

Because in his eyes, there is only one division between those who love basketball and those who don't.

Mayo also made a request to Kobe for private training.

Kobe finally agreed and made an appointment at three o'clock tomorrow.

But when he rushed to the gym at three o'clock in the afternoon, he did not wait for Kobe, because the three o'clock Kobe said was three o'clock in the morning.

There are also countless versions of the story about Los Angeles at four in the morning.

Su Yi didn't know which one was true and which one was fabricated.

However, Kobe's private training camp will definitely be a tough battle for him. As long as he wants to improve himself, he must be mentally prepared to be tortured.

At this time, Su Yi's Nokia phone vibrated with a new text message.

It was sent from McKillop.

"Reposted from Kobe Bryant: Staples Center, 4:30AM.AM!AM!AM!"

AM means morning in English. The students this time were introduced by the old coach K. Kobe still gave him a little face.

Following the lessons learned from Mayo last year, Kobe said the word AM three times in a row this year.

Moreover, at 4:30 in the morning, for Kobe, it was already the biggest concession he could make...

After Su Yi received the text message, he marked it as read and started to pre-purchase air tickets and pack his luggage.

At this time, suddenly the system's neutral voice came again.

"Ding!"

"The check-in location has been refreshed."

"New check-in location: [Los Angeles Staples Arena]"

"Tip: The current check-in location level is higher than the host level, you can get additional rewards."

If Su Yi was still a little nervous, he was completely ecstatic after seeing the system prompts.

This also explains why I am growing slower and slower while training in the Belk Gymnasium of Davidson College!

Because as his strength continues to improve, his average personal rating has gradually begun to exceed that of junior copies such as Belk Gym, so only by signing in at a higher level gym can he get a faster improvement!

And Staples Arena is exactly the top arena at the NBA level.

As long as you can sign in there, no matter how much you learn from Kobe, playing in an NCAA level game is equivalent to punching a kindergarten or kicking a nursing home...

"Ding!"

"New system task has been released!"

"[Kobe Bryant's Approval]: Obtain the approval of the mentor Kobe Bryant through careful training, and you can unlock phased rewards every time you complete a stage. Completed: 0/5"

“Relationship with Kobe: Strange.”

Su Yi is now completely no longer afraid of training with Kobe, and is even full of expectations.

Basketball training is never a happy thing. No matter whether Kobe recognizes himself or not, he must recognize himself during this trip to Los Angeles.

The moonlight outside the window was bright, and the corners of Su Yi's mouth raised slightly.

Then he tore off the page he had just written on in his notebook, put it at the bottom of his suitcase, put three or two pieces of clothes on it, washed and tidied it up briefly, and then walked out.
Chapter completed!
