Reborn My Name Is Kobe

Chapter 3: Career Debut

Ever since I had a duel with that old boy Byron Scott a few days ago, I feel more and more that my current abilities are insufficient. Although Sora has amazing physical talents, I am not able to use them well.

When I came to the gym to train alone again, my body was not tired at all from the previous ultra-high-intensity special training. Thinking of my previous life, I would have sore muscles just by playing half-court ball for several hours.

My God, I even have calf cramps many times. I have to say that Kobe’s physical talent is really great. I especially enjoy the feeling of being able to glide in the air after fully taking off. Feeling it in person is far better than watching a video.

Or the game is more exciting.

However, I also found that dunking is not as simple as what I saw in the video. Whether it is the position of jumping or the way of exerting force, they all have different skills. I think of the interview about Kobe Bryant when he was young in a basketball magazine. He revealed that in his

When I was about 20 years old, I loved dunking the most. There was even a period of time where I would spend several hours every day practicing dunking.

Well, it seems that if you want to quickly improve your scoring efficiency, mastering dunk skills and improving your dunk accuracy is a very direct and effective way. What's more, I also want to dunk on top of the fat man's head earlier.

Thinking about it, as long as I run fast enough after the dunk, I won't be afraid of him catching me and beating me to death!

Yesterday I saw the schedule of the Lakers this season. Tomorrow my NBA career debut will be at Staples Arena. The first opponent we will face is the Phoenix Suns. If not

If something unexpected happens, I will probably come on as a substitute, after all, considering the current composition of the team and the poor performance in previous training.

Now I just hope that I can maintain a better state through today's training, and then find the game state as soon as possible in the limited playing time. After all, the intensity of the NBA regular season will be better than the training game, even if I face

They are all substitute players for the opponent, but often substitute players may work harder in order to get better opportunities.

The advantage of training alone is that you can get a quiet environment that makes it easier to focus. However, there are also many disadvantages. One of them is that without someone to pick up the ball, my shooting training speed will slow down a lot, and I can’t do it alone.

There is no way to train for confrontational shooting, and anti-interference shooting training is actually very important.

For most professional basketball players, especially those who have reached the NBA level, the open mid- and long-range shooting sights during training are not too bad. However, once it comes to the official game, the real difference between ordinary players and

The only thing that separates him from a superstar is his ability to perform on the spot and his ability to resist interference and score.

The reason why superstars like Kobe Jordan can be called the most powerful scorers is because no matter how powerful the opponent's defensive players are, no matter how many double-teams they send, and no matter their physical condition and competitive state at the time,

At their best, they are always able to overcome all difficulties, throw the damn ball into the basket, and then smile at the helpless expression on the opposing coach's face.

Of course, I still have a long way to go before I can reach that level, but to be honest, today's training was a bit unnerving for me. I always feel like I can't find that kind of atmosphere when training alone.

I know that Kobe's character is a bit paranoid and aloof. Many times he trains alone. Maybe he is not completely ungettable. The greater possibility is that he feels that training alone can make him more capable.

Just focus, completely eliminate external interference, and immerse yourself in your own basketball world.

Loneliness is often the shortcut to the top. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart. It seems that with Kobe's body, my personality may be gradually getting closer to his previous owner. Well, after all, I don't want to humiliate Kobe.

Daimyo, to do that I have to be a little bit tougher on myself.

To be honest, the video resolution in this era is really poor. During the training interval, I will find

Judging from the videos of some games, these videos are all shown through video recorders. Each video tape is as big as a small box, with the two sides of the game and the time of the game written on it in scrawled English.

Of course, what I want to watch most is the video of Jordan’s game. For this purpose, I also found a staff member who manages the video. From him, I obtained most of Michael Jordan’s playoff game videos, but to be honest, I’m watching

After watching his game video, I seemed to have some enlightenment, but for a moment I didn’t know what I had figured out.

Jordan's shooting skills are really not something that ordinary people can learn. His ultra-long time in the air, his body twisted in the air, and his ability to maintain the stability of his shooting movements no matter how his body twists. In addition to explaining it by his extraordinary talent,

Training the day after tomorrow should also be quite important.

I imitated the actions in the video and made a few shots. At the beginning, I seemed to get into the state quickly. Five consecutive shots were all difficult shots, but then I entered into an inexplicable situation.

During the downturn, the feeling is very strange, as if you can predict the movement of those balls, and you will know that they are not going to hit as soon as you take the shot.

What's going on?

I carefully re-watched the game video several times, and then broke down Mike's movements step by step, trying to find the essence, but in the end I decided to give up.

Because I finally realized that what is the best way to truly learn the essence of Jordan? Of course, it is to go to the game to compete with him in person, or even if one day I can actually have a one-on-one match with him.

One-on-one duel, it will definitely greatly improve my basketball level, not to mention that the body I have now is a typical existence that becomes stronger when strong.

The game started in the evening of the second day. Because it was the home court of the Lakers, I took a short nap. After all, yesterday’s training made me completely forget about time. I didn’t end the training until my body was almost exhausted. Fortunately,

What's more, this body's powerful recovery ability allowed me to regain my energy after almost ten hours of sleep.

The Staples Arena really seems a bit too small at the moment. The joining of superstar Shaquille O'Neal in the summer has once again made Lakers fans who have been dormant for several years burst out with amazing enthusiasm. When I followed my teammates into the stadium

During that time, when countless spotlights and screams and shouts engulfed us, the feeling of a dream coming true suddenly made me unable to recover.

The commentator introduced the players from both sides in turn. The starting player for the Lakers is point guard Nick Van Exel, shooting guard Eddie Jones, small forward Cedric Ceballos, and Ronaldo.

Porter Horry and Shaquille O'Neal are at the power forward and center positions respectively.

The starting players for the Suns are point guard Sam Cassell, shooting guard Kevin Johnson, small forward Rex Chapmanson, power forward Danny Manning, and center Mark -

Bryant.

I saw that Jason Kidd, who later became the legendary point guard, also appeared in the Suns' lineup, but he did not start this game, so it seemed that I had a chance to play against him on the bench.

If I play, maybe I can score my first point in the NBA above his head.

The overall strength of the Suns is indeed not that good. Less than five minutes into the game, they were already beaten by a shock wave of 15 to 5. They quickly called a timeout. When Shaq ignored the opponent's double team inside, he directly dunked.

After that, our entire bench was in an uproar, and we saw someone raising his hands above his head, his eyes wide open, with an expression he had never seen before.

What I have to say is that this fat man does have amazing talents that are beyond those of people on earth. This is not only reflected in his physical fitness and basketball, but also in creating an atmosphere and winning the love of fans.

The entire Staples was immersed in shouts. I couldn't even hear the coach's tactical arrangements. But anyway, I didn't intend to play according to the tactics he arranged. Of course

The coach himself seems not to be aware of this problem yet, and is still talking to the players.

"Give the ball to that damn fat guy!"

I saw the coach standing on the sidelines and yelling constantly, but I felt a little depressed and didn't know when my first chance to play would come.

When the time came to the last three minutes of the first quarter, I finally got the chance to make my NBA debut. I could hear the huge roar from the audience, but my name was not called among them. I knew that sooner or later, this city would

The arena will cheer for me!

What I have to do now is to focus on the game and not let myself be affected by factors from off the court.

Unfortunately, the person I was facing was not Jason Kidd. During my first offense, I called my teammates to come over for a pick-and-roll, hoping to get Jason Kidd to switch over and get a chance to score over his head, but it was a pity.

What's more, my teammates' pick-and-roll skills are really not that good. They almost didn't block anyone before they cut to the inside and made a move to get the ball.

Damn it, how could I pass the ball?

Immediately, I made two skillful crotch dribbles under my feet, and then took advantage of the gap where the defender was not paying attention to do a forward turn and then a step back. In an instant, there was a gap of nearly two meters between me and the defender.

What follows is just like the movements I have done countless times during training, stopping suddenly and then leaning back, the movements are picturesque!

At this time, the whole audience seemed to be quiet all of a sudden. The basketball had clearly passed through the hoop, but it was spinning continuously for some unknown reason. It didn’t stop spinning until several seconds later and fell obediently into the net bag. I was heartbroken.

I wonder if you can still spin it out? Did I spin it too much?

I spread my hands and waved, then ran backwards to the backcourt.

Two rounds later, the opponent's forward got a chance to play me one-on-one after a pick-and-roll. Judging from his size and height, he was definitely playing power forward. I don't know why he was assigned to the small forward position. I know.

I can't let him be completely positioned, so it will be quite difficult for me to defend.

Soon after, at the moment when he was about to put the ball together, I pulled out my left hand from bottom to top, and saw the basketball flew into the air, and then my whole body rushed forward.

Grab the basketball and rush towards the opponent's basket.

This kind of fast break is the most exciting feeling, because it can fully display the talents of this eighteen-year-old body. I even feel that Kobe's speed has not been developed to the limit.

In just one to two seconds, those behind me who originally wanted to pursue me were already completely behind me. When I faced this empty basket, I still had the urge to perform.

Unfortunately, my speed was so fast that I didn't even have time to think about what kind of action to use to dunk before I was already in front of the basket. It was just a pretty ordinary two-handed dunk without many extra tricks.

Maybe it's because this is my first show or a formal game, the first time I face so many spectators, and I don't want to miss a dunk.

Finally, cheers filled the sky, and the corners of my mouth moved slightly. It can be said that I have fallen in love with this feeling of being cheered by thousands of people!

Time flies so fast!

Especially compared to my playing time of less than ten minutes, I can't complain more about this. After all, if I want to get more playing time, I need to fight for it with better performance.

.

I made three of my five shots, plus one of my two free throws. I scored seven points, one rebound, and one assist in less than ten minutes of playing time in my first show. Overall, I was quite satisfied. Of course,

I guess I still have a long way to go before I can become a true NBA superstar.
