Reborn My Name Is Kobe

Chapter 26: Reflection

Jessica didn't seem to be intimidated by the weird atmosphere around her. Her eyes were fixed on the plate in front of her, and then she asked me to put my hand on the plate that looked like a dish fairy.

on the plate.

At this time, I actually felt a little nervous. This feeling was similar to the last time I was in the haunted house when I was about to go up to the third floor, with a little expectation and a little fear.

The feeling is indeed a very special state.

Jessica relit three red candles on the three corners of the table, and then cleaned up the original white candles. What was surprising at this time was that the strange wind that would blow from time to time disappeared.

Gone.

Jessica took my hand, then closed her eyes, and recited some words in a low voice, like some mysterious and ancient spell, and I could feel Jay being held by me.

A warm current passed from Sika's palm.

The three-point candlelight in the darkness was swaying left and right for some unknown reason. I didn't feel the wind blowing around me again, so these candles seemed to be pulled by some invisible hand, moving towards different directions from time to time.

The direction is shaking.

The strange spell in Jessica's mouth became faster and faster, and then Jessica asked my hand and her hand to be placed on the plate in front of her. Just when our hands touched the plate, the plate

The pointer at the center began to rotate crazily, and our hands seemed to be pulled by some force, constantly looking for something on the plate.

At least I think this movement cannot be led by Jessica, because the force pulling our hands to move is too strong. It is impossible for Jessica's slender hand to hold my strong hand.

It is shaking at such a speed, but this is really unexplainable. Could it be said that it really exists in this world?

Before I could think about it further, the three candles in front of us, which were originally not very bright, suddenly burst out into a huge light. This level of light should not be produced by candles at all.

When our hands on the plate gradually calmed down, there was a word written on the place where they finally landed: DARK.

DARK means darkness. What does this mean? I don’t quite understand the origin of the spells Jessica just chanted, and I don’t know whether her real purpose of doing so is to find out her parents.

There are problems, but the word I see in front of me is still very surprising.

In fact, most of the places on the plate are single letters, and there are only a few positions where there are fixed words, and this DARK is one of them.

"Jessica, what's wrong with you?"

At this time, Jessica fainted as if she had lost her soul. Her body was as soft as a quilt. No matter how hard I tried to wake her up, it had no effect in the end. I just

I was able to carry her into her bedroom, cover her with a quilt, and then return alone to the place where everything happened.

After turning on the light in the room, I did not blow out the three red candles because they were in a very strange situation. First of all, the burning colors of the candles were very strange. Ordinary candles burn in red and yellow colors.

Alternate flames, and the flame colors of these three red candles are different.

In fact, when Jessica recited the spell just now, the flame color of these candles was still normal, but in the short period of time when I went to send Jessica back to the bedroom, the color of their flames had changed to

The colors of the flame heart are mainly blue, green, and purple.

I felt an inexplicable sense of fear coming over me, and I felt that tonight's events would definitely not end here, and this was just the beginning. No matter what, I decided to let Jessica have a good rest, and I had to go back.

Gone home.

In fact, today's game didn't make me feel more tired than what happened tonight. I have to go back to my bed at home and have a good rest. Maybe I'll watch Jordan's video before going to bed, or maybe watch another video of Jordan.

It's also good to watch "Space Jam" again.

I lay in bed early, but my thoughts seemed very disordered. I didn’t know whether I should focus all my attention on basketball or continue the current state. I didn’t know the relationship between me and Jessica.

What it was, and not knowing what direction this relationship was going to take, it was clear that I began to feel that meeting Jessica, and even everything that happened after I met her, no longer seemed like a simple accident.

Are there some secrets hidden behind all this that I don't know about? Jessica is far from as simple as I thought. Maybe she did deceive me in many places, but when I saw the look in her eyes

At that time, I couldn't believe that all of this was true. Her blue eyes were so pure and flawless. I didn't believe that she was the person who caused these things to happen.

So there must be some bigger secret hidden behind all this, things that Jessica didn't tell me. Do I have the ability to find out the true thoughts hidden behind the bizarre events?

No matter, I don't want to think about those things anymore, I do still

I should focus my main energy on basketball. I have to attend an endorsement event tomorrow afternoon. Maybe that can redirect my attention to basketball-related aspects.

I closed my eyes in the darkness, and my mind flashed to Jordan's shooting action in the video, and then to Jessica's blue eyes, and then to the three weird candles tonight.

Anyway, I finally fell asleep, and it was still a sweet sleep. I have to say that Kobe’s physical fitness is really good. If this happened to me in my previous life, I would definitely not be able to sleep well.

Yes, but even when things about haunted houses often appeared in my dreams some time ago, I didn't feel that my sleep quality had declined much, or that sleep problems would not affect my body's recovery speed.

reduce.

Maybe it's because this body is only 18 years old. This is an age where even if the ankle is sprained, you can rest for a few minutes and play again. The entire body of people of this age is in the process of rapid development, so the body's

The recovery ability itself is relatively strong.

Therefore, when many people are young, they don’t feel anything if they stay up late for many days in a row. But if they are a little older, they will find out how much damage staying up late will cause to their bodies, because their

Finally, the body can no longer recover as quickly as it did when it was young, nor can it completely remove the damage caused by staying up late.

The next morning, I arranged some physical strengthening training for myself. After completing these few games since joining the NBA, I obviously began to feel that my body became hungrier and more intense.

The intensity of competition and training made my body urgently need more sources of energy and nutrients, so I spent a lot of time asking a nutritionist for knowledge in this area.

But maybe now I don’t need to hire a nutritionist who makes food for me. Maybe I will consider these things when I get the first big contract in my life, and I will still buy it by then.

A handsome sports car, and then go on a self-driving tour across the United States after the season.

But at this time, I still have to face the extremely boring training in front of me, but in fact, boring itself is not a big problem for me, because in my previous life, I was very good at emptying my mind, or sometimes

My attention will be separated from my body. I can divert the brain's attention through body movements, and I can divert the physical fatigue through brain thinking. In short, sometimes the body and brain are not separated.

It's not necessarily all bad things.

In fact, at this age, I don’t dare to add too much strength training to myself. I am actually quite worried that over-strengthening my muscles will cause me to gain weight too quickly, thus weakening my advantages in flexibility and agility.

.

In fact, throughout Jordan's career, at 1.98 meters, he almost never weighed more than 200 pounds, so at this point I should learn from him and try to control my weight, at least at this stage.

The lighter weight also allows my body to recover faster, have better physical fitness, and is less prone to injuries. In particular, my ankles and knees can benefit more from this.

Although many people want to have the terrifying power of the Hulk like Shaq, you have to know how terrible the damage his knees, ankles and even toes have to endure. In fact, in the NBA, centers who are very heavy are often

All players will suffer from injuries in this area. For example, Yao Ming is a typical representative. His huge weight and too many games forced him to retire from the NBA before he was 30 years old. Those who have longer

In addition to their outstanding physical fitness and talent, great centers in their careers all need to lose weight and change their playing style in their later years.

Relatively speaking, defenders can often maintain a longer career. Of course, this is actually quite difficult to achieve in the NBA, because the most important thing in American basketball is talented defenders, so the vast majority of senior defenders are

It is difficult to continue to survive in the NBA. Perhaps it is not because their competitive state has reached the point where they are completely unable to adapt to the NBA, but simply because teams are more willing to let young people play. After all, they have greater potential and the wages they receive are lower.

less.

After some simple physical training, I decided to go out for some running training. After putting on my running shoes, I started jogging along the path outside the house. My speed was not fast. The reason why I did this was because my previous life experience told me that jogging is

It is the best project to keep your body in motion, because the movements it brings involve almost all the muscles in your body, which can maintain the coordination of your body muscles.

And in fact, the most indispensable thing in NBA games is running back and forth. After experiencing so many times of full acceleration, our bodies will actually suffer relatively large damage in the process, and as time goes by

As age increases, this kind of inherent damage will accumulate more and more, so jogging at a lower intensity after competition is a very good way to maintain physical condition.

There are more and more people running with me around me. It is obvious that the sports atmosphere is very prosperous in the community where I live. This reminds me of that night at the nearby community basketball court with

Those guys playing ball

things.

I have never been to that basketball court since that day, maybe because I felt that their level was too low, and it was difficult to find the fun of playing against them, and there was no way to improve my competitive status.

But where can I find strong enough competition outside of competition?

Maybe I can take the time to seek some one-on-one opportunities with the bosses of certain teams, for example after the game or before the game?

But I always feel that many team leaders will no longer bother to accept my challenge. After all, for the vast majority of NBA players, the game is just a job. They may not have the same understanding of basketball itself as I imagined.

They love me so much, and to accept the challenge of a rookie like me after the game is obviously not beneficial to them at all.

Take this guy Shaq, for example. If I were not his teammate, if I didn't bet with him, then he would probably be unlikely to accept my challenge, because he has too many personal interests outside of the game.

, whether it’s singing, hip-hop dancing, acting, telling jokes, or even performing magic, in short, he especially likes to do anything that can attract the attention of the audience.

And for something as thankless as a one-on-one challenge, he didn't even bother to move his huge butt, unwilling to leave the bench he was sitting on.

Okay, I admit that I thought too far. After all, with my current strength, it is actually impossible to beat Shaq. Even the big guys of many teams are far better than me now. Even if my

The upper limit of my ability is higher than theirs, but at least for now, my potential has not been fully realized, and my offensive skills are still too immature.

This immaturity is reflected in many aspects, the most important of which is experience in the game. For example, I am very concerned about some hidden moves against defensive players on the offensive end. I always want to confront the defender head-on.

, but often ignore how good they, the veterans of the stadium, are in using the shortcomings of the referee's sight to target me.

I remember the first quarter of the last game against the Eagles. At that time, several of their defensive players used some rather inferior defensive moves to target me. However, their moves were very covert and could attack the offensive players.

While causing huge interference, there were no obvious signs of foul play.

So in the second quarter, I quickly changed my offense and defense, and my hand suddenly exploded, and I was able to finally score 20 points in 7 minutes.

This is why many NBA players can get very impressive statistics in a certain game, but their average season statistics are only more than ten points or even a few points, because against the defensive players of different teams

, they need to find a way to break the defense every time they attack, but there may be a few games during the season when the opposing defensive players cannot restrict them. At this time, they may be able to break out, but most of the time they will not.

How to easily overcome the restrictions placed on them by defensive players.

As for those superstars who have been able to stay at the top of the NBA for a long time, some of their offensive methods are kaleidoscope-like, and some are simple and unpretentious. No matter which one they are, they must have reached the pinnacle of the offensive methods they are good at.

extent.

Players like Jordan can score easily from anywhere on the court in any way, facing anyone, while players like Shaq completely dominate the basket, and players like Iverson will cleverly

Take advantage of the defender's flaws and then use your own methods to attack the opponent, such as using speed to beat tall defensive players, using changes in dribbling rhythm to break through powerful close defenders, and using fast breaks to beat the opponent's unsteady foothold.

In short, if you want to stay in the NBA for a long time and maintain your peak condition, then you must have a skill. Of course, you can also be excellent in all aspects, but first of all, your skill must be long enough, so that you can face the whole situation.

When different teams in the league use different defenders and different defensive tactics, you can maintain a stable scoring output, but there will be an embarrassing situation where you score 30 points in one game but only a few points in the next.

And for me, what is the advantage that can widen the gap between me and most NBA players?

I was thinking about this problem while jogging. When I began to gradually study and learn Jordan's technical movements, when my shooting movements became more reasonable, when my body became stronger and stronger, when I

After I have gained more and more experience in competitions, what kind of shortcomings are still restricting my further growth?

I haven't completely figured out the answer to this question yet, and I don't expect to be able to find the answer in a short time. In fact, I don't need to be so urgent, because there is still time, and my NBA career has just begun.

What we have to do now is to face every game seriously, learn from different opponents’ strengths, and then improve our own shortcomings.

One day I will train my strengths to the highest level, so that I can score easily against anyone's defense in any situation, and become a key figure who can truly dominate the game.
