Reborn My Name Is Kobe

In the entire first quarter, I only took one shot and didn't hit it, and I didn't get a free throw opportunity. Therefore, my data in the 4 minutes of playing time was 0 points on 1 shot, 1 rebound and 1 turnover. This performance obviously did not help.

A way to satisfy the head coach Silver Fox Harris who was already picky about me.

Therefore, after the second quarter, I naturally did not get a chance to play. Shaq returned to the field with a few substitutes, but the opponent did not replace Mutombo, their core defensive core, on the field immediately.

, this also gave Shaq a chance to destroy their weak inside line during this period of time.

Shaq's performance did not live up to the expectations of the head coach. When he scored three consecutive times in the opponent's paint, the opponent's head coach quickly called a timeout. Shaq roared fiercely when he came off the field. His momentum was considered

Quite scary.

After returning from the timeout, the opponent replaced all the starting players, and we also replaced all the starting players. It is obvious that the Eagles made effective arrangements for Shaq during this timeout.

The difference from the first quarter is that their current defensive strategy is no longer to let Mutombo defend Shaq alone, but to try to prevent Shaq from catching the ball. Mutombo will try his best to defend Shaq in front of him.

And other players will quickly adopt a double-team strategy after Shaq receives the lob pass, either fouling or fiercely fighting for the ball in Shaq's hands.

This tactic was launched so quickly that Shaq didn't have time to adapt to the tactic used by the opponent. Soon the Lakers' offense came to a standstill again, because the Hawks' defense against Shaq was relatively weak.

was successful, so the outside players began to refocus their offense on the outside.

They failed to score on their first few outside shots, perhaps because they didn't get the offensive initiative for too long. Since acquiring Shaq this season, the team's tactics have been a bit too simple and relied on Shaq. This is also

As a result, the ability of our team's outside players has declined to some extent.

The opponent took advantage of our scoring shortage and used defensive counterattacks to create several fast breaks. The point difference was once again widened to 8 points, so Silver Fox Harris had to call a timeout.

At this time, the game had entered 7 minutes in the second quarter. Seeing that the starting outside players were not performing satisfactorily, Harris finally decided to give me another chance to perform, and I was determined to seize the opportunity and perform well.

to prove one's strength.

After I came on the field, my whole body showed a different state than before. My whole body was in a state of high concentration. Whether it was the defensive end or the offensive end, the opponent's movements seemed to become slower in my eyes.

After a beat or two, this feeling had never happened before, but it was indeed very wonderful. He felt that he had become the absolute dominant player on the field and could easily do things that changed the course of the game.

In fact, I did it. When the opponent started to double-team Shaq again, I got more offensive opportunities. In fact, the guy opposite me had a pretty good defensive awareness.

, he rarely takes advantage of my shooting fakes. After doing a few three-threat moves with the ball, I found that he didn't seem to take advantage of my tricks.

It is generally more troublesome to deal with this kind of defensive player, but there is an exception, because their defensive habit is not to jump very much, so if your pull-up shooting touch is particularly good, it will be difficult for them to guard you.

, to put it bluntly, it is purely relying on the feel to crush the defender.

Unfortunately, my touch was really good after the second quarter today. Even though he basically didn't lose his position on my defense, I could just use the bounce to hit a pull-up shot.

In fact, the effect of me coming to the gym early for training today was reflected at this time. I had a long discussion with the shooting trainer about my shooting point. In the end, I was relatively successful in making my shot come out.

The speed has been improved a lot.

In the past, I overly pursued the take-off height of my pull-up shots, because Jordan's shots have a very high take-off height. However, obviously there are some shortcomings in shooting with too high a take-off height. On the one hand, it requires very high physical conditions and consumes physical energy.

It's relatively large. When your physical fitness drops to a certain level, such shots will lack stability and sufficient hit rate. Another disadvantage is that the release time is too long, which can easily cause some height and wingspan to bounce and be equally powerful in defense.

or cover.

You have to know that a player like Curry has height but not height, wingspan but not wingspan, his shooting point is not very high, and his speed is not even top-notch. How does he take the shot in front of the misplaced defender?

One is to rely on pick-and-roll tactics to create the necessary space for him to shoot, and the second is that his shooting speed is very fast. His shooting action should be a kind of upside down shot, which is to throw the ball when his feet have not fully taken off.

When shooting, it uses more upward force from the footsteps, rather than the kind of pull-up that uses more core strength transmission to shoot.

Each of these two kinds of shots has its own advantages and disadvantages, but in terms of shot speed alone, Curry's shot is definitely faster, and it is much faster, so he can completely lead his height and wingspan.

So many three-pointers were shot in front of defenders.

I also slightly changed my shooting action based on this principle, so that I didn't shoot at the highest point of the jump. In fact, Kobe's 18-year-old body has too strong core strength and is very light.

It feels like you can stay in the air for a long time with just one jump.

I simply jumped slightly and took the shot, making my shooting movement smoother and harder to block.

The players who were guarding me were very helpless. Whether it was one person guarding me or two people blocking me, I could easily find space to shoot, because no matter how my body was twisted in the air, it was so powerful.

My core strength can help me balance my shooting point as much as possible.

In less than 4 minutes, I had scored 12 consecutive points, including two three-pointers, two mid-range shots, and a fast-break dunk. When my hand felt hot, I didn’t even need to take the shot.

Don't think too much, just stare at the basket and shoot, the ball will fly in by itself.

The opposing coach quickly called a timeout. At this time, Silver Fox Harris actually left Shaq on the bench after the timeout. It seemed that he decided to let me, who was feeling hot, play as much as possible, so as to be able to provide for Shaq.

Get more rest time, so that after the second half, Shaq can still kill the opponent inside.

At the time of this timeout, the Lakers only led the opponent by 5 points. In the last three minutes of the second quarter, the point difference between us had widened to 15 points. I scored another 8 points in one breath, plus

Thanks to the few points scored by their teammates, the Lakers were far ahead of the Hawks 53-38 at halftime.

Most of my teammates were very excited about my performance and kept high-fiving me and saying words of encouragement. Only Shaq and the old boy Byron Scott had a long face and looked a little bit...

Not very happy.

"What's wrong, I also have the ability to score 20 points in a single quarter, okay, no, in fact I did it in only 7 minutes."

In the locker room, I said to Shaq in a nonchalant tone, but the guy's face looked very unhappy with black lines all over it. He must have thought that I was still thinking about the last bet.

"Why, do you want to make a bet with me? For example, you score 20 points in the second half? Not to mention 20 points, I dare say you can't even score 10 points in the second half."

Looking at Shaq's very confident expression, I had the urge to punch his fat head. Unfortunately, there is about a hundred pounds difference in weight between us. It is obviously not a wise choice to fight with him.

, but as for gambling, am I really afraid?

"Okay, but what do you want to bet on this time?"

"I remember I won the bet last time, haha. Do you think I will lose this time?"

"It's hard to say, but do you think I didn't take me seriously enough if I didn't even score 10 points in the second half?"

"You have to remember that you are just a rookie. Even the occasional small outburst cannot change this fact, so you'd better keep a low profile and understand who is the real boss in this team."

"Okay, I understand what you mean. Forget it, this bet doesn't mean anything. If you really want to bet, let's take some time to have a one-on-one duel, and then we'll see!

"

"Rookie, is there something wrong with your fucking brain? Or am I experiencing auditory hallucinations in my ears? You don't really think you can challenge me in a one-on-one duel, do you?"

"Just asking if you have the guts to accept my challenge, I don't care if you weigh 300 pounds or 350 pounds, I will find a way to defeat you."

"Kobe Bryant, okay, I admit that you are a bit smart, but arrogance will not help you win. I accept your challenge. As for the location of our duel, you can choose whatever you want. It is best if you can call more people."

Some people come to witness this game, lest you fail to admit it when the time comes."

"Okay, it's settled."

The entire second half of the game went faster. The reason why I say this is because after the second half of the second quarter, the opponent's morale for the game has obviously taken a huge blow, and this is the home court of the Lakers after all.

The earth-shattering roars of the fans in Pupus Arena were endless, which also brought huge psychological pressure to the visiting team.

Therefore, the enthusiasm of the opponent's players on the court was almost exhausted soon. Faced with Shaq's constant attacks on the inside, the opponent did not resort to double-teaming or fouling, and just allowed Uncle Mu to be ravaged by Shaq.

.

When the game entered the fourth quarter, the score gap between the two sides had reached 25 points, which officially made the rest of the game enter garbage time. What made me very unhappy was that even early

Entering garbage time, my playing time in the second half was less than 8 minutes, and my playing time in the whole game was less than 20 minutes. Obviously, Silver Fox Harris still restricted my playing time very strictly.

, and I don’t know if he was deliberately suppressing my performance.

Fortunately, I didn’t make that bet with Shaq. My teammates didn’t pass the ball to me too much throughout the second half, so I didn’t have the opportunity to perform like I did in the second half of the second quarter. In the end, I made 3 goals out of 5 shots in the second half.

Got 6 points.

At the end of the game, I still scored 26 points, 2 rebounds, and 3 assists, and my shooting percentage was over 70%. It is conceivable that the other team will make more detailed defensive arrangements against me from the next game on.

,and

I also have to improve my weaker technical aspects.

After the game, Shaq and I didn't say a word to each other. When I saw Jessica's figure on the sidelines, my mind was covered by other things. The game that had just ended was suddenly overtaken by me.

Forgot behind.

"I'm sorry, I couldn't find your seat during the game today."

"That's good. It shows that your attention is completely focused on the game. This is exactly what I want to see of you, so from this perspective, I don't want you to discover me.

"

"Everyone says that women are duplicitous animals. Do you make sense in saying this?"

I smiled and joked, Jessica didn't say anything else, she just smiled and held my arm.

The next game is the day after tomorrow at the home court of the Houston Rockets on November 12th, which means there is not much time left between Jessica and me, especially considering that there seems to be another endorsement event that requires me tomorrow afternoon.

Go and participate.

When it comes to these endorsement activities, I actually want to refuse them from the bottom of my heart. However, considering that my current contract salary is not very high, and these endorsements are obtained through the hard work of managers, I have no choice.

I refused directly, thinking it would be better to take some time to see what the situation was.

Compared with those small endorsement activities, I am also thinking about which sneaker brand I should sign with if I become a real superstar in the future. Well, these things are too far away for me to think about now.

I came back to my senses and hugged Jessica's waist tightly, and the two of them walked out talking and laughing.

I came to Jessica's residence. Originally, I just wanted to find a restaurant with her to have something to eat, but Jessica insisted that she wanted to make a sumptuous late-night snack for me.

With an expectant expression, I really couldn't find any reason to reject her.

During the candlelight dinner, I didn’t expect Jessica to understand the mood quite well. We had a pleasant conversation while eating steak and red wine. I vividly described to her the scene of today’s game, such as the extremely difficult shots I made.

A high shot, and that fast break dunk.

The more I talked, the more excited I became, so that I drank a lot of wine without realizing it. I didn’t know what my drinking limit was. When I drank with Jessica before, I didn’t drink anything that was particularly difficult for me.

I'm in a supportive state, but today I don't know if it's because everyone gets drunk without drinking, but I feel like I'm already feeling a little dazed without drinking much.

"Jessica, what do you want to do?"

In a trance, I saw Jessica taking out a very strange thing that looked like a chessboard. The chessboard was densely filled with various English words. At this time, my drunkenness suddenly relaxed a lot.

, concentrate all your energy to see clearly what those words mean.

My darling, isn’t this the Die Fairy? Jessica actually wants to play Die Fairy with me?

"Jessica, do you really believe that there are supernatural things in this world? I know that the last experience we had in that haunted house was a bit incredible, but this does not mean that such things as dish immortals are real.

."

"Just think of it as playing with me, okay? I happen to have something I want to ask about those things that are wandering in this world, but I can't complete the whole ceremony by myself, so you can help me

Is it good?"

Faced with Jessica's voice that made people feel numb all over, I really couldn't find a reason to refuse. At this time, I found that more than 50% of my alcoholism had been dissipated. It seemed that I was the kind of comparison

I am a person who is good at drinking. Alcohol can be metabolized in my body relatively quickly.

"Jessica, what kind of questions do you want to ask these things?"

I looked at Jessica a little curiously, but I saw that she looked a little panicked, and there seemed to be a little tears flashing in the corners of her eyes.

"It's about my parents. I've always felt that some of their behaviors in the past few years are very weird. I didn't think about it until this morning when I was cleaning up the cabinet at home and found a letter.

The content in the letter makes me feel deeply scared, so I hope you can come with me to perform this ceremony. I'm scared, I'm really scared!"

Looking at Jessica's pear-shaped face, a trace of unbearability filled my heart. What kind of letter could make her so frightened?

What happened to his parents, why he behaved as strangely as she said, and the most surprising thing is, why she believed that the strange dish-like thing in front of us could be solved

Her question?

But no matter what, I still agreed to face all these unknown things with her. Maybe I had some feelings for Jessica unknowingly.

At this moment, a gust of wind blew from nowhere in the room that had been completely sealed, causing the candlelight on the table to sway, and the shadow of the flame also changed its shape with the wind.
