Chapter 220 - Kobe's Training Camp 2

"Is that how you're going to say hi to an old friend by turning away from him?" I said while smirking at Kobe.

He stopped in his place knowing that he was a little rude as he slowly turned around and smiled giving me a fake smile. I started to laugh as I said" don't worry I'm not here to cause trouble my daughter wanted to join the camp and I just wanted to spend time with her and doing so I have to join the camp too hopefully I'll be able to learn a thing or two from the great Kobe Bryant".

Kobe shook his head as he came and shook my hand. "What's up, Eazy congratulations on getting the first pick on the first round, I hope to see more of you and I hope you bring a change to the NBA world like I know you would since I first met you".

After exchanging a few pleasantries the next person had arrived so we had to keep it moving. Me and Isabella separated ways, they had to go take in our stats and measurements in order to evaluate us.

Isabella couldn't believe I knew Kobe and was excited about getting pointers from him. 

I was quite impressed with the facility, it was a state of the art building. Nike everywhere I looked with a whole bunch of pictures highlighting all the main athletes that had trained there or that had worked with Nike.

Isabella went her own way as I told her I'll see her later the staff had given us our schedule. After coming to the main hall I noticed that there were a lot of people there and most of the hall was dressed in purple and gold representing Kobe and the Lakers. 

We all took a seat as we waited for the others to come and after 30 minutes they had finally announced that everybody had arrived as they started stating out the rules and what we would be doing this week. 

A female in a white doctor's attire about 5'7 pale white skin with wood brown hair said her name was Doctor Dona, and started to tell us the rules and the schedule.

Workouts start at 4:00 a.m. for about 2 hours and after they would have breakfast for 1 hour. After breakfast they meet up with a medical staff for about 2 hours and then after that training for another 2 hours and then a lunch break for 1 hour, break for 2 hours and then technique learning for 1 hour after learning of History and watching film for about 2 hours and then dinner break for 2 hours after that pick up games for 1 hour and then bedtime.

That was the weirdest schedule I ever heard but it wasn't my place to complain as I sat there happily enjoying my time with Isabella. She was also fascinated and she held my hands with joy in her heart knowing that she was finally able to attend the camp with her dad.

After that announcement we all went our separate ways as they put us into different groups according to our age. Isabella was in the five to seven year olds group and she was among the shortest people within her group but she was used to that and wasn't intimidated by it as she knew her skills.

There were only a handful of people within her group, only 10 people that the staff had to work with so it made it much easier as they could play five on five and focus on only 10 students.

And in my group there's a few more people as there were 20 of us. I was now 20 years old so they had me in the age group of 18 to 21.

Most of the guys there were ċȯċky as hell and looking down on everybody else but when they saw me they immediately noticed me as they tried to get in my good favors. I could only smile and keep my distance as I said you guys need to calm down. I'm just here to learn just like you guys but they kept asking me for autographs. I shook my head. I said we are supposed to be competitors so doing this will not help any of you get any better at basketball.

When they heard that, they started backing away. I nodded my head and said" that's the spirit", a few others laughed at the others that were fanning over me as they started talking trash saying that I got lucky and that I probably can't even ball and that I should wait till I get to the NBA, that it'll be a whole different game. I nodded my head in approval and said maybe you're right maybe you're not but we're going to find out over these few weeks once you play against me.

They didn't even bother to season it as it was quite dry and tasteless.

I sat alone on the bench until some of the guys that were fanning over me came and sat beside me as they kept asking me all kinds of questions. I was a little annoyed but I tried to answer as much as I could as I quickly ate my food and exited.

After exiting, the staff showed me to my room. I had my own room which I was happy about. I wondered if Isabella would be able to share but then that thought quickly flew out of my head as I thought you finally had her own privacy and her own place so this should be exciting for her. I shouldn't ruin that experience she was going through as she will be going through it in the future. Better start early than late.

That night I slept well until the dreams of my past haunted me. The war that I had gone through sometimes I'll dream about, the deaths surrounded me as the explosion blew up most of my comrades and then I kept seeing his face, Dan. 

This time he was smiling at me as if I had done a good job taking care of his family which made me happy and sad at the same time. I woke up from my dream sweating and shaking my head. It was 3:00 a.m. so I decided to get up. We had slept early so there was no point in continuing to sleep as I woke up and took a shower and got ready to head to the gym.
