Chapter 34: A Legendary Player Visits in Person
Coach Holland is secretive.
Seeing so many players gathered here, the coach asked:
"What are you doing here!?"
"Coach, we're going to take Sashiro out to celebrate. That last shot was amazing!!!"
"Yes! He is a great contributor to our team!!"
Sashiro shook his head and said:
"No, I'm tired. I've never played a game of this intensity before. I need to rest."
When the teammates heard this, they looked disgusted.
"Tsk, why bother making excuses? You said you thought the intensity was high? Brother, you beat five of them at once, and they were all stunned!!"
"That's right! You've only been on the court for less than 20 minutes; why are you so tired! Let's go!"
"You are so good at pretending; do you think we are stupid?"
"If you can't find a good excuse today, you have to go to the party with us; otherwise, we won't agree!!"
Sashiro looked embarrassed.
He is really a little tired!
At this time, the coach came over and said:
"Stay away; Sashiro is busy! You guys have fun."
"What's up, coach? The game is over."
"Forehead..."
The coach was just thinking about how to fool them, but the next second, the door of the locker room was pushed open.
A man pushed the door open and asked:
"Coach Holland, are you all right?"
When this man showed up, everyone was shocked!
This person is very familiar to everyone.
He.
It is that man who represents an era!
Kobe Bryant!!
"What the fxxx!? Am I dreaming?"
"Kobe!! I'm your number one fan!!"
"How did he get here? Am I really dreaming?!"
"Oh! My God, I really can't believe it; what is he doing here!?"
"Can I ask you for an autograph?!"
...
The other players were shaking with excitement.
Even Sashiro was unusually excited.
Kobe can be said to be the youth of that generation of basketball fans.
If we talk about the basketball star they admire most, it must be Kobe without a doubt!
At this time, Kobe actually came to the scene!
And came to their lounge!!
This is really surprising.
At this time, the coach introduced:
"Kobe is here today for one thing. It's about you, Sashiro."
At this point, everyone's eyes were on Sashiro.
The emotions contained in their eyes... envy, jealousy, and a sense of entitlement.
Why!
The treatment of this genius is different!
Sashiro greeted Kobe.
And Kobe also smiled at him friendly.
At this point, Kobe said:
"Bai, I have been following your games for a long time. I came here today because I have something to tell you."
"Um."
At this moment, everyone around felt that this matter was too damn outrageous.
What kind of treatment is this!
Kobe was able to come and see him!!
Tsk tsk tsk.
To be honest, if we gave the people watching around a handful of melon seeds, the smell would come out.
At this time, Kobe continued:
"I watched your video when you played against Kyrie, and I also watched your game against Simmons later."
"To be honest, I think those two are very good juniors with great potential. They can both become excellent NBA superstars in the future."
"But you, you surprised me the most!"
At this point, Kobe paused.
It can be said that he also quite approves of Sashiro.
"I am very impressed by your breakthrough ability. It is not a breakthrough that relies on physical fitness. It is extremely rare!"
"But what impressed me most about you is that you obviously have top-notch physical fitness!"
"That dunk against Kyrie is the best proof, right?"
...
Sashiro was silent.
Indeed, it is.
That dunk was indeed done by myself.
But that was using Kagami Taiga's dunking talent!!
I can't jump that high normally.
However, Sashiro couldn't say anything, so he could only say:
"Yes...it's me."
At this time, Kobe had doubts.
"Then why didn't you use your body to play in the next game? Didn't you try your best?"
"And it should be very easy for you to play the whole game, but your playing time... is the least among all the main players I have ever seen."
"Why is that?"
Everyone knows.
Kobe is an extremely competitive player.
If we were to find the hardest-working and most eager-to-win player on the court, then Kobe would be second, and no one would dare to claim to be first.
Don't say you won't leave the front line just because you are slightly injured.
Seriously injured, that has to be considered!!
Therefore, he did not quite understand Sashiro's behavior.
Doesn't he want to win?
In fact, Kobe's question is exactly what the other players want to ask.
Doesn't Sashiro want to win?
Doesn't he have any desire to win?
Um?
Looking at Kobe's expression at this moment, Sashiro was a little embarrassed to admit...
If I said I got tired halfway through the fight, would he believe me?
Forehead...
No matter how you think about it, you can't believe it...
So, after thinking about it, Sashiro finally said:
"This... the main reason is because I want my teammates to have more opportunities to show themselves."
"Ah?"
Kobe was stunned.
This reason was something he had not expected.
"Aren't you afraid of losing the game?"
"No."
Sashiro shook his head and said with certainty:
"If the situation is not right, I will take over the game in time."
Let me translate it for you:
What Sashiro meant by this is that if the situation is not right, I will use the trial card immediately!
Thank you everyone!
But.
At this moment, to Kobe's ears, these words sounded like something that only someone with immense self-confidence could say!
This!
It is the incomparable confidence in one's own ability!!
No matter how far behind the team is, Sashiro will definitely have the confidence to equalize the score.
And he is willing to give his teammates more opportunities to perform.
Damn it!
Originally, Kobe thought Sashiro had no sense of competition and wanted to teach him a lesson.
But now it seems that Kobe is completely relieved!
At this moment, the look in his eyes when he looked at Sashiro showed only satisfaction.
"Okay, if that's the case, then I'm relieved!"
"Remember, I will continue to pay attention to your performance in the future."
"If one day you are ready to join the NBA, you can also find me, and I will arrange a good place for you."
Coach Holland's eyes widened as he listened.
Forehead...
Is this considered illegal recruitment?
It's obvious that Kobe is hinting that he hopes Sashiro can join the Lakers in the future.
But.
If you don't say it and I don't say it, who will know?
After saying this, Kobe left the locker room.
But right after Kobe left, the rest of the team went ballistic!!
