Reborn My Name Is Kobe

The fourth quarter of the game between the Lakers and Rockets started quickly. Coach Silver Fox Harris chose to let Shaq and I sit on the sidelines to rest in the first half of the fourth quarter. I found that even though my playing time still did not exceed 20,

minutes, but this guy Harris has obviously started to choose to put me on the court at the last moment of the fourth quarter in many games.

This is a good affirmation for me. In fact, with my physical fitness, there is no problem even if I play more than 35 minutes per game, but after all, there is an All-Star player in the team at the second position.

, unless the management can see enough potential in me during the regular season to trade Eddie Jones in the middle of the season, otherwise I will still only get this opportunity.

Of course, although I am eager to have more playing time, I also know that my current personal strength has not completely surpassed Eddie Jones. His performance during this period is somewhat unsatisfactory, but after all, his strength has been achieved.

With people's recognition, the management and coaches will definitely give him enough opportunities to prove himself.

Eddie Jones seemed to want to prove his strength at this time. He played particularly hard after coming on the court in the fourth quarter. In the previous games, he performed very poorly in the fourth quarter, so today he will

Physical fitness was left to the fourth quarter.

In the first few quarters of this game, the Lakers' perimeter broke out one after another. Eddie Jones's performance was tepid, so the Rockets' defense against him was relatively lax. Who knew that after the fourth quarter, he started to start his personal game?

Score mode now.

After all, Eddie Jones is also an All-Star player. In fact, one of the main reasons for his poor performance is that he has some playing styles that are incompatible with Shaq, and Silver Fox Harris is too focused on using Shaq.

This scorer lacks enough opportunities to perform. The current Lakers are really a team whose offense is far stronger than its defense. If you pull it out, you can see that at least 4 people have the ability to average more than 20 points per game, but together they

However, it is difficult to truly display its power.

Eddie Jones also had a series of outbursts. Within the first 4 minutes of the fourth quarter, he was completely open for inside and outside shooting. However, it was a bit difficult for the Rockets to wait until his touch fully exploded before trying to limit it.

Most of the star-level players in the NBA have strong explosive scoring power. Especially on certain nights when they are in particularly good form, they can completely ignore most defenses.

The Rockets' defense is mainly strong in the interior, but not very strong on the forward and defensive ends. Their All-Star guard Drexler is also not too young, so it is difficult for him to contribute much on the defensive end.

With strength, they can only go all out on the offensive end to prevent the score from being completely widened.

In order to prevent the score from being stretched to more than 10 points at once, the head coach of the Rockets called a timeout when the score between the two sides reached 7 points. After the timeout came back, all the main players of the Rockets came on the court early. On the other hand, our Lakers

Here, because he had a certain score advantage, Silver Fox Harris decided to let Shaq continue to rest, and let Eddie Jones, who was in good condition, continue to play with the substitute on the court.

Sure enough, although Eddie Jones was still able to hit some goals in the following period, the overall scoring speed of the entire Lakers team still lagged behind the Rockets. After the Rockets' Big Three came up, they gave full play to their advantages on the offensive end.

The Lakers' defense was completely defeated. Seeing that the scores between the two sides were about to be tied, Silver Fox Harris still had no intention of calling a timeout for substitutions. Shaq and I could hardly stand it any longer and stood there.

I stood up and looked at the situation a little nervously.

Finally, when there were only 5 minutes left in the fourth quarter, Silver Fox Harris finally took advantage of a foul and dead ball to replace Shaq and me on the court. At this time, the opponent's Big Three had already entered the court earlier than us.

For more than 3 minutes, they are a little behind us in terms of physical fitness, not to mention that the three of them are also older than me and Shaq.

Perhaps it was due to the decline in offensive status caused by the gradual lack of physical fitness that the Rockets seemed to be only one goal away from overtaking us, but they couldn't get back on track.

After Shaq and I were in full condition and played again, the opponent had almost no way to stop us.

We played very easily in the remaining few minutes. This was mainly because the Rockets' overall offensive shooting percentage dropped. The pace of this game was a bit too fast, and their core players were older. By the final critical moment,

There is not enough physical reserve, and the offensive rebound is not good, so we can quickly launch a defensive counterattack, and their physical strength is further squeezed out by our continuous fast break counterattacks.

In the last 5 minutes, Shaq and I scored 16 of the team's 18 points, leading the Lakers to a 135-123 victory over the Houston Rockets at home. When they caught up with the score in the middle of the fourth quarter, the atmosphere was high.

It was very enthusiastic, and when the momentum was about to reach its peak, the whole arena felt like it was going to explode.

However, looking at the current Toyota Center, it is simply terrifying. When the final game entered within 2 minutes, many fans began to leave early. This is also a characteristic of local Houston fans. It is easy when the team is at a disadvantage.

Just give up supporting the home team.

, chose to leave the arena early, not knowing how busy they were.

No matter what, this game once again boosted the morale of our team, and the Lakers' overall record has reached 6 wins and one loss, tied for the league's first record with the defending champion.

After the game, Shaq made a lot of noise in the locker room, claiming that if he met the big dream Olajuwon in the playoffs this season, he would definitely be able to lead the Lakers to sweep the opponent, and he would be on top of the big dream every game.

Dunk 3 or more times.

I shook my head beside me. This guy has some strength, but his personality is too high-profile. Of course, isn't this kind of personality a typical American personality? I think if it weren't for the fact that we have to play the San Antonio Spurs back-to-back tomorrow,

Shaq is definitely going to have a big party tonight and perform his newly invented dance at the party.

It was already late at night after the game, but we couldn't stay in Houston any longer. In a few hours we would be on a plane to San Antonio.

After the excitement of winning the game passed, deep fatigue began to spread to the entire team. People who were more excited before became more and more sleepy now. The entire plane seemed extremely quiet. I guess no one except me had entered.

There are only a handful of people who have reached dreamland.

And the reason why I can't sleep is not because I'm not tired. In fact, even if my body doesn't get tired easily, my spirit will be tired, especially when part of my energy is used to think about the people who are still at home in Los Angeles.

When I was with Jessica, I admitted that I was really attracted to her, and that feeling of being particularly worried about someone rarely appeared even in my previous life.

The difference from my previous life is that now I am Kobe Bryant, a future NBA Hall of Fame superstar with billions of wealth. But that does not mean that I will have a particularly big change. Now my personality seems

It is also a combination of the personality of the previous life and the personality of Kobe. I can't completely separate the two. They are affecting each other and changing some of the other's personality characteristics. I don't know whether all this is good or bad.

I can only accept it all silently.

Thinking about it, I also fell into sleep. When I woke up again, the plane was still safely docked at the San Antonio airport. I found that this sleep did not make me more energetic, but instead made my head

I seem a little groggy. I don't know why I feel that this is not normal. Could it be that I have a cold?

My conjecture was quickly confirmed. It seemed that a small influenza was spreading among the team. Although the physical fitness of our players is much better than that of ordinary people, it does not mean that we cannot

You will get sick. In fact, because the intensity of NBA games is too great, when our body is over-exhausted, it will enter a period of weakness. At this time, it is easy to be invaded by external diseases, and serious illnesses may not occur.

But minor illnesses like the flu can also greatly weaken the team's overall combat effectiveness.

Considering that there was a back-to-back game tomorrow, no one was willing to spend too much time going to the hospital for infusions or something. After simply buying some medicine at pharmacies and clinics, everyone took the team bus and drove towards the hotel.

When I was lying on the comfortable and spacious bed in the hotel, I realized that the flu might not be as simple as others thought. Not only did it come and go very quickly, I felt that my body was getting hot for a while.

I felt cold for a while, and after wriggling around on the bed for a long time, I finally slowly fell asleep.

When I woke up the next day, I felt that my whole body's strength had not been restored. Although the headache and shortness of breath that I felt yesterday were no longer obvious, the muscles all over my body seemed very weak. After getting up, I simply ate

After a quick breakfast, I simply went back to bed and continued to sleep.

Anyway, the city of San Antonio is not very prosperous. At least it is much worse than Los Angeles. There is no need for me to go out and wander around anymore. I might as well sleep as much as possible to make my body better.

recovery, so as to maintain the best possible condition during the evening game.

Because I forgot to set the alarm clock, it was already a little late when I got up again. After I washed up, I quickly rushed to the competition venue. Compared with showing up at the Toyota Center for practice so early yesterday, I arrived at the competition venue today.

It was already a bit late, and there wasn’t much time left for me to train.

However, as soon as I got the ball today, I obviously felt that my body was a little stiff and weak. The flexibility of my body, which I originally felt was good, became much worse. Many of my shots hit the front edge of the basket.

Of course, I'm not the only one with this kind of performance. A large part of the team has been affected by the flu, and their training shooting percentage has dropped off a cliff compared to usual.

Only one person still looked so relaxed, even completely ignoring the painful expressions of other players. Instead, he said some tepid words with a somewhat unbeatable face. This person is Shaquille O'Neal, who has physical talents beyond ordinary people. He looks like

Nothing happened at all, he probably wasn't affected by the flu, but given his physical condition, even if he was infected with the flu, he probably wouldn't be affected too much.

Loud.

I tried hard to get my shooting back on track, but it seemed that the harder I tried, the more incompetent I became. My physical energy was passing away faster than usual. My originally light calves seemed to have been poured into something.

It looks like liquid metal, and the whole person looks a bit bulky.

The game against the Spurs will officially begin soon. I didn’t seem to hear David Robinson’s name from the player introductions. Maybe he missed the game due to injury. Instead, I was a little surprised by the name of another player.

, this person is Dominic Wilkins, nicknamed the Essence of the Human Movie. This guy is also a warrior of the same era as Jordan. He has met Jordan many times in the slam dunk contest, and his peak average per game is close to

Thirty points of strength, but it is a pity that he is almost 37 years old this season, and with David Robinson not playing, this Spurs team is indeed not very strong.

In addition, the Spurs' game strategy this year is to mess up the game, for the sake of next year's No. 1 pick, and for the eternal No. 21 pick.

However, when the game started, we found that this game was much more difficult than expected. Specifically, this was a game more difficult than blacksmithing. If we say that in the last game, neither side could defend the other party, so the defense

It doesn't seem to be important at all, because even if you defend carefully, you can't prevent it.

Then defense doesn't seem to be important in this game, because even if you don't defend the opponent very much, you still can't make any shots.

The reason for the Spurs is that the players' personal strength is not good enough, and Popovich obviously wants to be bad, so the playing time of Wilkins, the only star player, has become very little, and no matter who is hot, he will soon be

Popovich will be immediately put on the bench during the next timeout or dead ball.

Even so, the Lakers still couldn't take the lead. The only player with a shooting percentage of more than 40% in the first quarter was Shaq, and Shaq was not as unaffected by the flu as he showed, because

I have noticed that his movement rate has dropped significantly today, and his speed and explosive power at the basket have declined.

Perhaps it was because the starter's physical condition was really bad, and Silver Fox Harris quickly replaced him as a substitute player. However, even I failed greatly today. I missed one of my first five outside shots and made two breakthroughs.

The ball that was almost guaranteed to go in for a layup also swayed on the rim for several seconds and then slipped out of the rim. It almost made me angry to death because the opponent's defense was extremely lax and it felt like they were just waiting for me to go for a layup.

, however, it was as if the basket was blocked and couldn't be shot.

Originally, my shooting percentage before this season was above 50%. After this game, it probably dropped by several percentage points. By the end of the first half, my shooting percentage was 1-for-10, which I achieved through free throws.

3 points total, only 5 points, 2 rebounds and 0 assists.

In fact, I also passed several potential assists, but no matter how good the opportunity was and how big the gap in front of my teammates was, they just couldn't put the ball into the basket.

On the Spurs side, Popovich was absolutely pissed off by us. Even though he had been replaced as a substitute, the Spurs still led us by 5 points 40-35 at halftime.

He yelled in the direction of the Lakers bench, as if he was protesting our match-fixing.

However, we didn't want to. We knew that yesterday's offensive state was so good, but who knew that the whole team would be like this just one day later. It is simply unscientific.

Head coach Silver Fox Harris is also very aware that the entire team's physical condition is quite bad now, so he does not behave as chatteringly as usual. In fact, he can also see that the opponent Spurs are trying their best to lose.

This game was lost because not only were the players on the field very poor, but they also had almost no intensity on the defensive end.

Perhaps it was because the defensive intensity of both sides was too low that there were very few foul shots from both sides throughout the game. The pace of the entire game was already extremely slow, so there was not much pause in the game.

The next time passed quickly.

This extremely ugly game also caused the few fans at the scene to boo constantly, and in most cases they booed the home team. And the most frightening thing is that there will be people regardless of whether the home team Spurs scored a goal or not.

Shh.

By the time the second half started, the attendance rate at the entire Spurs' home court was less than 50%. Originally, the popularity of our Lakers games this season would not be too low. At least the attendance rate for this game was decent at the beginning.

It was 7788, but the actual performance of both sides of the game greatly disappointed the fans.

Fortunately, this game was not broadcast live in the United States, otherwise it would be a huge joke. It is completely two NCAA teams and should not be CBA-level teams playing. I even think the CBA is much more enjoyable to watch than this game.

.

After the start of the second half, the offensive status of both sides was still sluggish. At the beginning of the third quarter, the Spurs even shamelessly used all substitute players. At that time, the league did not have a specific restriction law against bad performance, so in addition to the constant boos from the fans

, the extremely shameless Popovich even smiled when facing the boos, as if he was enjoying the boos.
