Reborn My Name Is Kobe

"Then have you written down all the information in the records of Sir Faustin's estate? Can you briefly tell me and Jessica? After all, this kind of thing is usually impossible.

You will find it."

After listening to my words, the boss of Dark Cuisine was silent for a moment, as if he was recalling something. Maybe he was organizing his own words. After all, Jessica and I had also read some information introducing Sir Faustin's estate.

Things there are indeed quite complicated.

"To be honest, Sir Faustin's Manor has always been a rather strange place in our local Los Angeles. From the time it was built more than a hundred years ago, until now, almost every time, people will visit it.

There are some mysterious phenomena inside or nearby that are difficult to explain with normal logic."

"Well, has something like this happened again? As far as I know, Sir Faustin's manor seems to have been in an abandoned state. It seems to have been closed in the past few years, and it was only recently that it was opened.

It was opened and specially opened for ordinary people to visit, and the manor was also described as a haunted house."

As soon as I finished speaking, I saw the face of the owner of the dark restaurant turn pale instantly, as if he had heard something very terrifying.

"What did you say? Sir Faustin's manor has been opened again? Or has it been opened as a haunted house? How do you know these things?"

The owner of the dark restaurant suddenly seemed to lose control of his mood. I shook his head a little, and then slowly stabilized his mood.

"Well, in fact, Jessica and I have been to Sir Faustin's manor before, and we encountered some strange things there that are difficult to explain with common sense. At the time, we thought they were just some people decorating the haunted house.

It was just a prank, but as things continued to develop, we felt more and more that something was wrong, and later we encountered many, many more strange things. But that is a very long story, and I’m afraid there won’t be any today.

I’ll have time to tell you all about it.”

"Hey! Everything is fate! I didn't expect that things would happen again after so many years. It seems that what is supposed to come will always come. No one can escape this fate, including my own fate!"

I saw the expression on the face of the owner of the dark restaurant changed several times in a short period of time. I don’t know what his changes mean, but one thing is certain, that is

The owner of this dark restaurant must know many, many very deep things. He may even know many things that Jessica and I don’t know, even though Jessica and I have been to Sir Faustin’s manor several times.

.

However, when I think about the times Jessica and I went to Sir Faustin's manor several times, we have never been able to determine whether we went three or four times. I can only remember three times in my memory, but I don't know why.

But there was a voice deep in my heart telling me that Jessica and I had actually gone to the terrible Sir Faustin's manor four times.

What is going on in that situation? Maybe when I have more time, I can gain more insights by talking to Kobe’s soul.

"From your tone, what happened in Sir Faustin's manor will happen again every once in a while, or something terrible will happen every once in a while."

"Yes, this Sir Faustin's manor is definitely not simple. Many weird things happen around it. Since you have been there, you must have seen some of the weird things in it, so let's continue

The things I am going to say below may not be that difficult for you to understand. Of course, it is actually best for you not to understand these things, because once you know the secrets here, you will be

You will be permanently involved in it and you will have difficulty escaping from it throughout your life.”

"We have been involved. To be honest, we have been to Sir Faustin's manor three or four times. In short, we have been there many times and have encountered many terrible and surprising things.

, we just want to know the truth now. In fact, we also know about the theft at the Los Angeles Museum of History. At that time, we were checking the information about Sir Faustin's estate.

What happened later, unfortunately, due to time constraints, we were not able to fully research all the information on Sir Faustin's estate. There are still at least half of the things that we don't know. Let me hear what you say this time.

You have seen Sir Faustin's manor in full, so I hope you can tell us those things, please don't worry about us, we are mentally prepared for our choices."

I saw the boss of Dark Cuisine frowning tightly, as if he was thinking about the credibility of my words, but after he looked at us a few more times, he finally seemed to have made some kind of determination.

, decided to tell us about Sir Faustin’s manor.

"Well, since you all already know a lot about Sir Faustin's manor, I will tell you the rest. I don't know which part of them you already know."

"As for the creation process of Sir Faustin's manor, and what happened around this manor in the following decades, the manor has been closed to the outside world by members of his family, and outsiders have many questions about this manor.

speculation, and later Sir Faustin also disappeared from people's sight. What happened next was too complicated, and some people died when they entered Sir Faustin's manor and came out."

"Hey, actually these things are not the most important. Do you know that some changes will actually happen in this manor every once in a while? That is to say, when you enter this manor at different times, what you actually see will

The situation is completely different. This is the fundamental reason why Sir Faustin and his family are never willing to invite outsiders into their manor, because in this way outsiders will easily notice the weirdness of their manor.

It’s the right place.”

"According to what you said, I seem to be able to recall some very vague shadows. To be honest, I can't remember whether I and Jessica went to Sir Faustin's manor three or four times. I always feel that my memory is blurry.

A certain paragraph in it has been modified by others. It seems that some very important part has been modified by others.

I have been able to erase them, but I have not been able to completely erase them, so when I always think of these things, some vague shadows will appear in my mind. This feeling is really

It's quite torturous, I would rather forget all of it than suffer this kind of torture."

"It's like this. In fact, the situation you encountered has occurred in Sir Faustin's manor before. To be honest, I once entered this manor with a group of adventure enthusiasts, and one of them, a pair of

The couple looks a bit like your girlfriend."

Hearing what the owner of the dark restaurant said, Jessica sat up from the chair. She told the owner of the dark restaurant her parents' names, and then the owner of the dark restaurant suddenly seemed to be electrocuted.

He stood up from the chair as if he had been beaten, as if some terrible memory was trying to rush out of his mind.

"Yes, that was the name of the couple at the time. It turns out that you are their daughter. Think about it, almost fifteen years have passed since this happened. You must have been only a few years old at the time."

"I was probably only four years old at the time, and if you went there fifteen years ago, then it was not the first time that my parents went to Sir Faustin's manor. In fact, it had been many years before that.

They have already been to the mysterious Sir Faustin's manor, and they also left me a lot of video information

, the clarity of these videos and the preservation of the shooting scene are quite poor, so we can only find some information from the video tapes, but the video tapes themselves are not complete, and almost every video tape will be deleted by someone.

Part of it has been reduced, and the deleted part may still be the more important part.”

"I see. No wonder I thought they were so familiar when I went there. In fact, I learned a lot about Sir Faustin's Manor from your parents. Didn't they tell you their adventures?

, and where are they now? If there is a chance, I really want to find them and have a meal like this, brag about it, and recall what I was like when I was young."

"But boss, you look like you are only in your thirties. How can you talk about what you looked like when you were young?"

"That's all your illusion. In fact, I am already fifty-five years old this year, and I am older than your parents. Of course, the reason why I look so young is actually the same as when I went to Sir Faustin's manor.

Taking risks is related. It is actually a treasure house, and there is also a certain secret recipe that can effectively delay the aging of us humans. Over the years, I have strictly followed this secret recipe for maintenance, and it seems that the effect is quite good.

"

"Is there really such a magical secret? But it may not be that easy for you to see my parents again. They have been away from me for half a year without any news. When I was young, they often left home for a long time.

I haven't been home for a long time, but no matter how long they have been away from home, they will send me letters on time to let me know that they are still safe. However, this time for more than half a year, I have not received any news about their current situation. It's really

It’s really worrying me to death!”

"There is such a thing. Hey, things are really unpredictable, but do you have any clues about your parents? If you need help, I will do my best to support you. After all, I have many connections in Los Angeles.

It's quite extensive. If you need to find out some information, I should be able to help."

"Thank you for your kindness, but we really don't have an accurate location of my parents' whereabouts. They left me many, many things before they left, as if they knew that they might be gone for a long time, maybe even forever.

I can’t even come back, but I didn’t realize this at all at the time. Do you think I’m stupid?”

As she spoke, there were tears on Jessica's face, and I quickly hugged Jessica tightly to me.

in my arms, and she was lying quietly in my arms like a cute little girl.

"Hey, I didn't expect that something like this would happen. So in that case, I will tell you all the secrets I know about Sir Faustin's manor. I hope it can be helpful to you, or it may also be helpful in finding Jesse.

Card’s parents were helpful.”

"Well, you can just say it. If you mention something that we don't know clearly, we will ask you then."

"I just mentioned that Sir Faustin's manor is a place that undergoes considerable changes every once in a while. Sometimes such changes cannot be explained by conventional thinking at all, because the changes inside are so huge.

, the change time interval is so short that it cannot be accomplished by human power. I can only understand it as the result of a supernatural force."

At this time, some vague memories are slowly emerging in my mind, and Kobe's soul also appears in my subconscious at the right time. He is also helping me to find these things in my subconscious that may have been forgotten by me.

things forgotten.

When I held Jessica in my arms, I felt that Jessica's body was also trembling slightly. It seemed that she was guarding the influence of some kind of power that I didn't know clearly, and this power made her feel a little...

Fear, this kind of body shaking occurs in response to this fear.

I saw that Jessica had closed her eyes at this time, as if she had fallen asleep. I don’t know why she was able to fall asleep in such a short period of time, but watching her sleep

It smelled so good, so of course he didn't want to wake her up from her dream.

"I seem to really remember some vague things. It seems that Jessica and I visited Sir Faustin's manor not long ago or even yesterday, but we met

Something very unbelievable happened, and then I lost this memory after leaving the manor."

"That's right, you must have gone to that place. Only those who have passed through that door will experience this kind of memory loss. You may not know that you may have traveled through time and space in the physical form.

Crack."

"Time and space rift? This name feels so familiar to me. It seems that I was discussing this issue with other people not long ago, but I can't remember who that person is. It seems that I feel that this time I and Jesse

Ka's expedition to Sir Faustin's manor was not just the two of us. There must have been a third person who went to this mysterious manor with us. Now I can't remember what happened there.

, but maybe as your story goes deeper, I will be able to remember what happened there."

"Hey, actually whether you can remember it is not that important in a sense. You just need to know one thing. This manor is built on a power that is difficult to explain with our modern technology.

The more you try to see clearly the secrets hidden behind it, the more confused you will be and fall into a deeper mystery, as the saying goes? "

"When you stare into the abyss, the abyss will also stare into you, is this the saying?"

"Yes, this is the sentence. If it is used here, it means that the harder you try to explore the mystery buried in it, the more the mystery will wrap you tightly and keep you forever.

There is no way to escape from its clutches."

"Is it true that we have nothing to do?"

"Although these unknown worlds and unknown forces are very powerful, don't we as humans continue to face these unknown things that are beyond our capabilities on the path of evolution and progress? Only when we humans dare to

When we face these difficulties, we humans will move faster

We grow up at a fast pace, just like when we were young, we went from babbling to learning to walk, and then slowly solving all the problems on the way to growth. In this process, as the difficulties we face become bigger and bigger

, there are more and more problems that need to be solved, and we ourselves will become stronger and stronger."

"So we shouldn't be afraid of the difficulties in front of us, because the more difficult the challenge, the greater the growth we can bring. Is this what you mean?"

"Yes, it's good that you can understand this. Sir Faustin's Manor is like a thick book, and it is a book that records quite profound knowledge. When you read it,

You can't rush for success, you have to understand that you have nothing to do

You can't digest this whole book in one go. You need to be patient and learn the contents of this book bit by bit. In the process, you will become smarter and smarter until one day you are smart enough.

If you are smart, you will be able to understand the true meaning of this book."

I nodded thoughtfully. Don't tell me that the owner of the dark restaurant in front of me really looks like an old man, full of wisdom about life. Of course, it may also be because of his contact with foreign countries.

There are too many people of all kinds in the country, and they have become extremely well-informed.

"Jessica slept so soundly. After being exposed to these things during this period, I have been unable to sleep peacefully for many nights."

"Well, this is also normal. In fact, Sir Faustin's manor is indeed full of all kinds of secrets, but this does not necessarily mean that it is a place full of evil or terrible power. There is such a thing as power.

It is always neutral. There is no distinction between good and evil, good and evil in power itself, so if possible, you can try to obtain the powerful power contained in this manor. If you can really do it,

If you get to this point, then you will be able to change things."

What the owner of the dark restaurant said made me a little confused. What kind of powerful power was he talking about? And what kind of things should I change?

"Do I need to change anything?"

"My child, you are still too young. You may not be able to understand some things now. When you gain experience in the future, you will naturally understand the things I have told you today. Come and eat quickly.

There is a game to be played in the afternoon, and we have been too busy chatting without eating. Please wake Jessica up too, and try the new dishes I personally cooked for you."

The cooking skills of the owner of the Dark Restaurant are indeed well-deserved. Some of the new dishes he made this time were beyond my imagination. I didn’t expect that they could be made so delicious. Of course, Jessica actually

She also ate a lot, and seeing her eating so deliciously made me feel warm in my heart.

Time always passes very quickly while chatting and eating, and soon it is time to start the competition.

After the meal, we drove to the place where the three-on-three basketball game was held. This is a very famous street basketball resort in Los Angeles. There are many basketball enthusiasts there, and they usually play various games here.

, there are three-on-three half-time games, one-on-one duels, and even five-on-five full-time games are not uncommon.

It is precisely because the mass base of golfers here is very good that various private competitions are held from time to time. Of course, these competitions are basically amateur, and there are no particularly rich rewards. The reason why everyone participates

This kind of competition comes out of the love for basketball and the search for stronger opponents.

Therefore, even if some NBA players appear in such a game, no one will say anything, because for the audience, the participation of NBA players will greatly increase the beauty of the game and attract more popularity, and for those participating players

In other words, although they are at a disadvantage when facing NBA players, they are also very willing and enjoy this opportunity to compete head-on with NBA players.

If they lose to NBA players, they actually have nothing to lose, and they can also gain valuable experience against NBA stars. And if they are lucky enough to win a game against NBA stars, it will make them even more

The temptation to become a celebrity here instantly is irresistible to anyone.

So of course they are willing for NBA players to participate in their games. That will only greatly increase the popularity and level of competition, which is good for everyone.

But I wonder what kind of treatment a rookie player like me will receive?

When I came to the scene, I knew how grandly I would be welcomed. The enthusiasm of the fans at the scene made me feel extremely happy. They are all people who really love this sport, regardless of their height, weight,

There are differences in gender and skills, but they are all participants and lovers of this sport. This is enough.

I love the sport of basketball, and I also love the people who love this sport. No matter whether I am an NBA player or not, or even a star, I feel that we are all equal in front of basketball, so they treat me

The warm welcome also made me feel a little touched. This feeling is even more exciting than being cheered by tens of thousands of people in Staples Arena.

At this time, a stream of heat surged up unconsciously in my body. This stream of heat made me feel very excited. I knew with the help of such a stream of heat, what level my state would rise to.

go.

Although I don't seem to need to use such power when fighting against such amateur opponents, in fact, perhaps it is their infinite love for basketball that inspires this power in me. They are the source of energy in my body.

, it is their love for basketball and their enthusiastic support for me that fills my body with strength and makes me eager to repay them with an extremely exciting game.

I always tell myself that basketball is not just a tool for me to make a living, it is my best friend and my source of strength. Without basketball, I will have nothing and be useless, so in front of basketball, all interests

Entanglements, all grudges, all worldly forces are no longer important. I only have basketball in my eyes, only the purest basketball. No matter what height I will reach one day, my original intention will not change.

He is a young man who loves playing basketball, not

For any other role, I will not let other things corrode my original intention.

As long as I persist in maintaining this original intention, I will never go astray or fall.

This three-on-three competition is divided into sixteen groups in total, and then divided into four groups, with four participating teams in each group, and then the top two teams in the group are determined through the group stage to participate in the knockout round.

A decisive battle.

Each game lasts about ten minutes. There are no free throws for the first three fouls. From the fourth foul, there will be free throws. The scoring is still two points for an ordinary goal, three points for an ordinary three-pointer, and one point for each free throw.

.

We still have about half an hour to warm up before the start of the game. In addition to me and the boss of Dark Cuisine, there is also a fat black man who looks about thirty-four years old in our group. He looks

He's about six feet eight inches, but his body is quite wide, and he looks even wider than Shaq.

Although he seems to have good strength, judging from his dribbling movements, he is really at a quite amateur level. Whether he is passing the ball or running and dribbling, he seems to be quite slow. On the other hand,

On the other side, the boss of Dark Cuisine showed quite good competitive status. I passed him several three-pointers and he shot them very easily, showing his good basic shooting skills.

It seems that the owner of the dark restaurant is not bragging. He should still have a pretty good basketball foundation. As for the other fat guy, he is probably a good friend of his. He probably doesn't do much training at ordinary times. He is just here.

Just make up the numbers.

With this in mind, I started shooting training before the game. When my body and mind are in a very relaxed state, my overall condition will be quite good.

To be honest, when facing an opponent of this level, I don't need to expend much strength.

But when I was warming up, I saw that there were already a lot of people around me who came to watch me play. After all, this is Los Angeles, and I am somewhat famous among the Lakers now, so everyone heard that I was going to play.

After coming to this game, people gathered around to watch me play. After all, if you want to see me play, you need a lot of money to buy tickets to watch the game.

And many times, if you have money, you may not be able to buy such a close seat to watch me play, so soon the area around the stadium was crowded with people watching me play.

Seeing these people's enthusiasm, I couldn't help but get a little bit technical. After I came up, I did a self-throw and self-dunk dunk.

In the slam dunk contest, I am confident that I can score more than 48 points.

I'm giving two less points to prevent myself from getting too proud.

After everyone around me saw my dunk that was both entertaining and creative, they all applauded involuntarily. Seeing this, I dunked a few more baskets to satisfy everyone's appreciation for my dunk.

expectations.

Then I began to treat this place as a training ground, trying not to let myself be affected by the surrounding fans, and fully focusing on training.

Because of the limited time, I made appropriate adjustments and simplifications to the training that usually takes a long time to complete, and tried my best to allow every part of myself to be properly trained and warmed up. In fact, even if

Facing such an amateur competition, I will still try my best to play, because this is my attitude and I will not let myself relax my requirements on myself.

In the last few minutes, I had a simple communication with my teammate, the fat man, and the owner of the dark restaurant, and discussed our respective roles in offense and defense.

Then our first game of the day was about to start. I looked at my opponents. They seemed to be three guys with fairly balanced heights. They were probably between six feet three inches and six feet five feet. To be honest,

This kind of height configuration is enough for amateur competitions. The three of them are all black players whose whole body is lean. They give people the impression that they are full of explosive power, and their muscle lines are also very clear. On the face

Against such an opponent, except for me, the other two players in our formation may have to face a certain amount of pressure to guard against the opponent.

It seems that our lineup actually has some obvious shortcomings, and it is hard to say whether such shortcomings will eventually hinder our progress. It depends on whether we can bring our advantages into full play.

Besides, even though the fat man seems to be a bit of a loser, he might still have his own tricks to watch, so I don't want to make any judgments about him too early.

The game uses three-point free throws to determine the offensive destination of the first ball. Since it is a three-on-three half-court game, the serve will be exchanged after the score is scored. The serve must be served from the center outside the three-point line, and there is also a steal or

After grabbing a defensive rebound, you need to go beyond the three-point line before you can attack again. There will be a referee on site to make a judgment.

I made this three-pointer at the beginning, which gave our team the first opportunity to attack. At this time, a large number of onlookers had gathered on the edge of our game. They even kept shouting Kobe, Kobe.

Although I was distracted for a moment after hearing the name, I finally returned my attention to the competition field.

I held the ball and took a tentative step outside the three-point line. The fat guy was very smart to come up and pick and roll me. Unexpectedly, his awareness was quite good. Although his footsteps were not very fast, he was faster than Shaq.

That guy's consciousness is much better. From this point of view, Shaq is not even as good as this fat man. Thinking of this, I can't help but laugh out loud.

This fat man's body was extremely wide and he weighed a lot, so he directly blocked the other two guys who were relatively thin behind him. I took advantage of this opportunity and passed the person who was defending me in one step, and then

I rushed inside and came up with a tomahawk dunk. The opponent simply couldn't keep up with my speed. Even if they could keep up, they didn't dare to block my dunk head on.

There is no doubt that my dunk immediately ignited the passion of the audience. Their enthusiastic response made me feel even happier at this time. I began to be eager to score. When I entered this state, I

He will choose to fight non-stop on his own, and even completely defeat his opponent by himself.

Of course, I will not do all the scoring work alone in this game, because that would be too boring, and it would also make my two teammates have no game experience. At least we are still relatively close.

In terms of a more harmonious overall situation, the fat guys are more team-minded, so I can't play too alone.

On the defensive end, in fact, this fat man is not as useless as I thought. Although his movement speed is slow, his awareness is good, and the most important thing is that this three-on-three half-court game is

Without someone to defend for three seconds, he can always stand in the inside penalty area.

It's just that sometimes he will still perform some of the supplementary defense work that he can do. I even think that he is better than Shaq in this aspect of supplementary defense. Is this really my personal illusion?

This guy is really good at fighting. As the saying goes, a person cannot be judged by his appearance, and the sea cannot be measured. This fat man is actually a master.

But to be honest, the person who could impress the owner of the dark restaurant and invite him to play games with him is unlikely to be a gangster, a guy who fills the bill, as I thought at the beginning. From this point of view, it still seems

I myself saw the wrong person.

And looking at the owner of the dark restaurant, he also has very strong defensive skills. His footwork speed can't keep up with those black players, but he and Fatty seem to have a pretty good defensive understanding.

They can form a good defensive formation with each other, making it difficult for the opponent's singles players to continue attacking after entering their defensive circle.

And if they pass the ball to attack me, there is no doubt that none of the three people on the opposite side can easily score under my serious defense. I don't even need to use 50% of my defensive strength to have the opponent confront me.

The first player was in so much pain that even after he did get the ball, he didn't dare to play when he saw me.

At the beginning, some people around me were coaxing him to beat me in a single. After all, if I could succeed in a single, I would still have a great sense of accomplishment, and I could also become a minor celebrity in the area. This kind of temptation is very attractive to an amateur.

It's still pretty big for an athlete, but it was broken by me almost three times in a row.

As soon as the player I was playing against saw my eyes on him, his body seemed to tremble, as if I could take the ball out of his hand with my eyes.

As a result, he almost didn't dare to hit me head-on. At this time, my two teammates also performed very well on the defensive end, allowing the opponent to maintain a very low shooting rate, almost below 30%.

It's a good hit rate.

Back to the offensive end, after the start, I hit the opponent several times in a row, and two of them were forced to hit against the defense of two people. I opened the score from the beginning.

So in the following games, I gradually stopped exerting so much force on the offensive end, and instead asked my two teammates to play for a while. In fact, the two of them did not get into the state quickly at the beginning, and they were not able to

How many goals were scored.

But the opponent couldn't score, so slowly I kept creating opportunities for them, and finally the two of them showed their condition. In the first game, our score was almost three times that of the opponent, and I didn't

No matter how hard he exerts his strength, it seems that this opponent is actually relatively weak.

Although their physical fitness is good, it is obvious that their basic skills are not good enough and there is no way to fully utilize their good talents. In fact, there are too many players with good talents in the NBA, but they really want to play.

, just having physical talent is obviously not enough, you also need awareness, technology and other things.

At least apart from their physical talent, I am quite satisfied with my two temporary teammates, especially the fat guy who I admire with admiration.
