My Name is Kobe Bryant

After a difficult victory in the away game, the Lakers ushered in a short 3-day non-game day. At the same time, the next game will be held at the Lakers' home court, the Great Western Forum, so Kobe will be staying in Los Angeles these days.

This gave the tired Lakers a chance to rest, but Kobe didn't stay at home.

Early the next morning, Kobe arrived at the Lakers training facility. Although these games have been won, Kobe is not satisfied with his performance. Kobe Bryant's goal is always the championship, and with the current strength and team status, winning the championship in front of Jordan is tantamount to nonsense.

Kobe has a sense of urgency, and Jordan is two years away from retiring. The chance to defeat Jordan head-on is only these two years, and he must grow to the point of defeating Jordan during this period.

Kobe performed very well against small point guards, but when he encountered a swingman with both strength and agility, or double-teamed defense, he didn't have a good way to break through the defense. One reason is the lack of physical confrontation ability. Under the league's current whistleblowing standards, many of Kobe's movements will be deformed after fierce confrontation. Another reason is that Kobe's three-pointers still haven't reached the point of a strategic weapon.

Maybe in a certain game, Kobe can hit a lot of three-pointers for a while. But there is no continuity, and opponents will not deploy a lot of defensive energy for Kobe's three-pointers.

Kobe's potential opponent is always the Bulls led by Jordan. Kobe knew that with his current ability, he would be overwhelmed by Jordan in all aspects. And O'Neal did not blow up the strength of the Bulls inside. So the current Lakers may be a strong team, but it has not reached the level that Kobe wanted.

This is not to plan for a rainy day. Kobe's criterion is to constantly challenge himself, break through his limits, and make himself better. This is an integral part of the Mamba spirit, both in the previous life and in this life.

If it wasn't for Kobe, it might have developed secretly. Waiting for Jordan to become a blockbuster after he retired, but Kobe was never willing to wait. He doesn't care about tomorrow, what Kobe cares about is every moment.

While Bryant was working out at strength training, Pelinka's call came in.

"Boss, I found the trainer you want. Are you sure you want this young boy who just graduated to be in charge of your physical fitness and physical therapy?" Pelinka was a little puzzled. Reliable trainer. Although his size is very standard, it is not close to being strong. The trainer in Pelinka's mind should be a middle-aged man with a big waist and a round waist like Gary Petty.

"Of course, bring him here, I'm in the strength hall." Kobe secretly thought that it was just the right time, and he couldn't wait to face the future top trainer and physical therapist.

"Hi, nice to meet you, Mr. Kobe." The young Jeff Cavaliere was a little shy.

"Come on, let's start our training." Kobe was concise. He also wanted to examine whether the young Jeff had the ability to help Kobe's body to a higher level.

. . . . . .

"I have to say, sir. Your training intensity is the highest I've ever seen. And your body can't handle it. For ordinary people, training at such an intensity will undoubtedly kill their careers." Jeff was sweating profusely. He just completed his BS in Physical Neurobiology and MS in Physical Therapy from the University of Connecticut. At the same time, he has many years of scientific fitness experience, but he has never seen the training intensity like Kobe.

"I have to customize a physical therapy plan for you. At the same time, there are many places that can be adjusted in our strength training. Face pulling is essential. When your rotator cuff muscles are stronger, your shooting stability will be improved. One level." When Jeff talked about professional matters, he immediately became eloquent.

"Very good, Jeff. I'll see you tomorrow at the Lakers training facility at 5 o'clock tomorrow morning." Kobe was very satisfied with Jeff's performance. The founder of the future Athlean X is still a little immature, but he has a little professional knowledge Not missing.

Jeff's eyes widened. "Five in the morning, okay, Boss. You decide."

Athlean X, founded by Jeff Cavaliere in later generations, provides services for many players in the three major leagues in the United States. Whether it is rehabilitation training, strength training, or daily functional training, it has received wide acclaim from athletes in the three major leagues.

Under the leadership of Jeff, many players have made a qualitative leap in their athletic ability, and many of his training concepts are epoch-making. In the last life, Beckham, Nadal, Tom Brady and Yao Ming were all his guests.

Kobe also has a plan. He wants to bring the advanced scientific concepts of later generations into the league, so that all athletes can benefit more from training, diet and body maintenance.

Most of the current players will decline rapidly when they hit 30, and if the players of later generations do not suffer from devastating injuries, their peak can be maintained until they are around 35 years old. For an athlete, they are willing to trade everything for a 5-year peak career, which Kobe deeply understands.

Hiring Jeff is only the first step. Kobe is slowly preparing to build a first-class sports center dedicated to athletes.

. . . . . .

"Boss, Philadelphia's rookie Iverson. He actually scored 32 points against the Celtics, surpassing your highest score!" Fisher walked in angrily with a newspaper. A rookie can't have a better player than Kobe.

This Iverson deliberately scored 32 points, which was clearly aimed at Kobe's 31 points. This made Lao Yu very angry, and Lao Yu was determined to show this kid a good look when they meet next time.

Kobe continued shooting practice, but silently remembered the number of 32 points in his heart.

The team was rehearsing the tactics after Bowen started playing. Harris made up his mind and removed Ceballos from the starting lineup. After getting the news, Ceballos angrily missed today's training.

The team's tactics have not changed much. The team's offensive initiator is still Kobe, and the offensive terminator is O'Neal. Ceballos originally played the role of the second scorer in the lineup, but now it is handed over to Kobe. The task of the team's outside defense against the opposing star was entrusted from Kobe to Bowen.

The starting lineup of the Lakers played a lot more comfortably, the offense and defense were well organized, and the cooperation between Kobe and O'Neal was also orderly.

Harris is very satisfied with the performance of this starting lineup, but he is a little worried about the substitute. After the tacit understanding between Kobe and O'Neal is getting higher and higher, the time Kobe and the bench will play together will inevitably be reduced.

The average height of the bench team is very low, and the offense is not good. The defense also has a few loophole players, which makes Harris a little embarrassed.

At the same time, he was very angry about Ceballos' lack of training. Harris is a coach who pays great attention to team discipline. He called West directly after the game.

"Dell, I know what you want to say. Let's DNP Ceballos, don't worry, the deal will be reached in a few games."

"Okay, Jerry. I'm sure you'll build a championship squad for the team."

"The champion team? Del, I think you have misunderstood. Our goal is always the dynasty, and the cornerstone of the dynasty is already in the formation." West smiled, as if he could see Del Harris' expression after learning the specific transaction content .
