Reborn My Name Is Kobe

Chapter 2: One Hundred Balls heads-up

With the end of the team's collective training, most of the Lakers players have left the arena. I don't know most of their names, but since everyone will be teammates in the future, I have to find opportunities to slowly

Get to know them well and get to know their personalities and skills. Of course, the most important thing is the latter.

At first, I just did some simple stretching exercises. The common sense of sports in my previous life still told me that protecting the body should start from a young age. You must know that I didn’t pay attention to protecting the body when I was very young, which led to my poor health later.

The quality has declined significantly. Now I have the opportunity to have the healthy body of Kobe Bryant who has just turned eighteen. If I want to make a name for myself in the NBA in the future, this body must be well maintained.

!

Especially considering the devilish training I am about to do today, if I want to feel less sore the next day, I must stretch and relax my body seriously, even though Kobe's eighteen-year-old body is estimated to be

You won't feel any fatigue, but the wear and tear on your body will accumulate. If you don't pay attention now, your body may not be able to function so well after several years of high-intensity NBA competition.

At this point, I also think of LeBron James, whose influence in NBA history even surpasses that of Kobe Bryant. His extremely strict and self-disciplined life and training habits are the reason why he has been able to dominate the NBA for most of the past two decades.

key.

After completing the stretching exercise, I began to conduct special training on various basic basketball skills that I can master now, including dribbling, passing, shooting, footwork, back-up skills, positioning skills, etc.

In other aspects, the first step I need to do is to find the feeling of the ball with my palm.

When I wanted to grab the ball with one hand, I found that it was not as easy as I thought. Sure enough, Kobe's palm was really small compared to super big hands like Jordan and Kawhi. I

Hold a ball with each hand on your left and right hands, then dribble the ball back and forth around your sides, and then dribble the ball in a circle while walking.

I performed these simple movements for nearly twenty minutes. The most important reason why I spent so much time on dribbling training was to retrain my brain's feeling for the ball. After all, no matter how powerful my body was before,

muscle memory, but now I don't seem to be able to fully control them, so I must re-strengthen the connection between muscle memory and the brain.

After completing the dribbling training, I arranged for myself about ten sets of sprinting and jogging interval training, one set of full-court sprinting and one set of jogging around the basketball court. After completion, I performed stretching exercises again.

What I didn't expect was that the physical strength contained in Kobe's eighteen-year-old body was truly a monster. After finishing the team training and competition and completing the dribbling and running training, my body didn't feel any strength at all.

I felt a little tired, and even the sweat only slightly wetted the jersey.

It’s no wonder that Kobe was able to carry out the legendary 6*6 terrifying training. The so-called 6*6 is six hours a day, six consecutive days of ultra-high-intensity special training. If it were an ordinary person’s body, let alone how much he would gain.

If you practice like this, your body will be worn out a long time ago.

Just when I was about to do some special shooting training, I saw a guy who was half a head shorter than me and about 1.9 meters tall threw the ball towards me. He had a mustache and smiled.

It feels a bit obscene.

"Kobe, you were really unique during the team training today. You know that if you want to be a good partner with a dominant inside player like Shaq, you must at least have good passing skills and a broad passing vision. Just

It’s like the match between a magician and a sky hook back then.”

"I'm sorry, I seem to have forgotten your name!" I looked at him with a little embarrassment, and I saw this guy immediately showed an expression that was really not very good for young people nowadays. His appearance was already relatively good-looking.

He looks old, but now it seems that he is probably an old player from the earlier Lakers SHOWTIME period, so much so that I thought he was just a sparring partner at first.

"My name is Byron Scott. Remember this name, kid. I am not a nobody, nor will I enter the NBA directly from high school like you. I will only shine in the league for one or two seasons at most."

Will fall like a shooting star. This is already my eleventh season in the NBA and I have three championships.

Military ring."

"What's so great about it? If it weren't for the three No. 1 picks Magic, Sky Hook and James Worthy, why would you get three championship rings? Don't act like you're relying on your old age and don't say I'm not good enough."

Respect the seniors, this is an alliance that relies on strength to survive, if you want me to convince you, you have to defeat me!"

I showed a very disdainful expression. I had never liked this young man very much when I watched the NBA. I had pretended not to know him before. In fact, Kobe Bryant’s head coach in the last few seasons of his career was Kobe Bryant.

Len Scott was also the head coach of the Cavaliers in the seasons after James left the Cavaliers for the first time. It can be said that this guy is actually a pretty qualified loser besides being able to talk a little bit.

coach.

"One-on-one?" I saw a very interesting look on Scott's face, as if he was incredible that I would make such a request. "Don't think I am a bit old now, but I want to beat you up."

Isn’t it something that a rookie in high school can do easily?”

After saying that, we walked to one of the basketball courts. I also wanted to laugh a little at this result. I didn't expect that my aggressive method would succeed so easily. I have to take care of him today.

"How many?" I threw the ball to him and asked him to serve first, and then he asked.

"Of course I'll hit a hundred balls. I didn't even break a sweat during today's team training. I'm just counting on seniors like you to practice with me and guide my skills!"

"Hmph! One hundred is one hundred, am I still afraid of you?"

As soon as I finished speaking, this guy was the first to attack. Before I could react, he raised his hand and shot from outside the three-point line. When I just reacted and wanted to go up and block the shot, the basketball passed through the net crisply.

The sound has come.

Next, it was my turn to attack. Just when I was about to make a forward change of direction to bypass him, my body suddenly staggered. The ball seemed to have been snatched away by one hand. Before I could return to defense, Scott had already

Scored the second goal.

For the third ball, I faced Scott's defense and forced a breakthrough. However, this guy's defense was tougher than I expected. In the end, the basketball hit the backboard and did not bounce smoothly into the basket. Scott had already

He grabbed the defensive rebound and dribbled the ball out of bounds.

"What do you think, boy? It's still too late to surrender now. If you really have to hit a hundred balls, I can accompany you to the end. I'm afraid that you will lose so miserably by then that it will leave indelible marks on your psychology.

of!"

What this old boy said is really irritating, but I don’t have anything to say to refute him now. Strength has always spoken on the basketball court, and I still can’t fully control this amazingly talented body.

If he wanted to defeat an experienced golf course veteran like him, he really couldn't think of any other better way than exhausting himself to death.

"Why are you talking so much nonsense? Just come here."

I refused to give in, and then lowered my focus and prepared to seriously defend him.

This time his offense was not so smooth. I took advantage of my footwork to closely follow his offensive steps without giving him any chance to easily break through me. In the end, I successfully forced him to take one step into the three-point line.

The local government took action by force.

"It's my turn!"

I dribbled with my back and used my back to feel the direction of his defensive center of gravity. Then I dribbled with my center of gravity lowered and successfully got rid of his defense. Facing the unguarded basket, it was a tomahawk dunk. What was embarrassing was that

It seems that my take-off distance is a bit far, and the take-off movement is not sufficient, so the dunk was missed by the basket, which is really embarrassing!

After holding my breath, I further strengthened my defensive intensity in the next round. After all, my height and foot speed were at an advantage. As long as I could resist taking advantage of his fake moves, I could limit him to the maximum extent.

Take an outside shot.

However, I was obviously a little too tight on this ball, so when he made a fake move to worship Buddha, my body was a little off balance. When I reacted again and tried to block the shot, he had already used a small throw.

The shot completed the scoring.

It seems like I haven't scored a single goal yet.

The guys have already scored three goals, but I haven't found my shooting feeling yet.

"What's wrong? Do you only know layups and dunks? Didn't you dare to shoot three-pointers during the team training today? Even though you shot three three-pointers and five irons, hahahaha! I'm going to die laughing.

Me."

Damn this old boy looks down on me so much!

As soon as my body warmed up, my desire to win was suddenly aroused by him. Hum, I will show you my fadeaway shot.

"Bang!" The result was an awkward push. Although the backward movement was quite cool, the result was still a blacksmith.

In less than an hour, the score between us has reached 50 to 20. The guy who is far ahead by 50 points is naturally not me, but the Byron Scott who I have always thought is very good. It seems that

A guy who has been the main force in the NBA for more than ten years cannot be too bad. However, it is absolutely impossible for me to just give in. On this point, Kobe and I have the same paranoia.

, the extreme desire for victory!

"Continue!" I yelled loudly, as if I wanted to completely vent the depression in my heart.

Then I once again increased the intensity of my defense against him, especially the intensity of physical confrontation on the defensive end. After all, Scott is already old, and my advantage is that I am young and have good physical strength. If I want to turn defeat into victory behind, I must make good use of me.

advantage items.

It was obvious that after dozens of consecutive fierce battles, Scott was already showing signs of fatigue. Coupled with my increasing defensive intensity, soon his shots failed to go smoothly for a dozen consecutive times.

Entering the basket, and taking advantage of his mistakes and lack of energy, I quickly chased the score to 40 to 55.

"No, let's take a break first." Scott finally couldn't bear it any longer and was the first to give in.

"My shooting feeling today is a bit poor, but I have gradually found the feeling for those few shots just now. I will only become more and more accurate later. It's not too late for you to surrender now. Let's surrender according to the old rules and it will be half."

Didn’t we treat each other to dinner for a month if we lose in a bet? If you surrender now, you can treat me to half a month, no, just ten days."

"Don't talk nonsense. People who don't know think you are leading by fifteen points now. Don't think that I can't play now that I'm a little old. Let me tell you, I still have a lot of gas in my mailbox. Even if I'm in the NBA again,

There will be no problem if I fight for five years."

"Okay, then I'll let you be convinced that you lost."

What happened after that was just as I said, as I accumulated the number of times I hit iron, I gradually mastered the trick of not being so iron. Especially after my body was completely warmed up, the steady stream of power came from my body.

It surged out, which made my attacks become more and more sharp and fierce.

When I succeeded in dunking hard against Scott's heavy defense, the score gap between us had reached 30 points, but the relationship between leading and falling behind had been reversed. I was already 98 points behind.

Sixty-eight is ahead of Scott, which means that when I score another goal, I will win this one-on-one match.

"Okay, I surrender. You're right. Surrender only counts as half of the loss, not one-third. I only need to bring you dinner for ten days."

I saw a sly smile on the corner of the old boy Scott's mouth. If someone who didn't know saw it, they would think he had won the game.

"Come on, why do I need you to bring dinner all the time? You just need to admit that I, a high school student, am good enough to play in the NBA!"

However, Scott's expression suddenly became serious, pretending to be embarrassed.

"That's not good. You just bully me, an old man who is about to retire from the league. If you want to gain a foothold in the NBA, of course you have to defeat more powerful opponents."

"For example, who?" I asked a little curiously.

"For example, Allen Iverson! He is the No. 1 pick in your class. I think that kid is more than ten times better than you. Otherwise, why would he be the No. 1 pick and you are only the No. 13 pick?"
