Reborn My Name Is Kobe

The Lakers' game at the San Antonio Spurs' home court became extremely ugly for various reasons. Even in this era, the score is generally less than 100 points, but halfway through the fourth quarter, the score between the two sides was only seven.

This situation is still very rare.

In fact, it’s not that we don’t want to play well in this game, but the flu is coming so quickly this time. After the game against the Houston Rockets ended yesterday, our entire team quickly developed large-scale flu symptoms.

At the beginning, we didn't pay much attention to this, thinking that we could easily resist this cold with our strong physical fitness.

But the state of today’s game tells us that sometimes there is no way to overcome objective difficulties just by relying on your own willpower. When every inch of muscle in the body is difficult to exert force due to some inexplicable soreness, even if it is just

Walking on the field is also quite uncomfortable.

In the previous games, even if I tried my best, I never felt any soreness in my muscles. Kobe's young body has extremely terrifying self-recovery capabilities, and yesterday's home game in Houston was so fast-paced that after the game

I didn't feel any fatigue in my body, but today's situation was completely different. My body seemed to have aged 20 years. Although this feeling is constantly reducing, it is estimated that at the end of the game

There wasn't much improvement that could be made before.

When Shaq and I were put on the court together in the fourth quarter, I no longer had the terrifying dominance I had yesterday. When the ball was in my hands, I didn’t have much desire to attack, and Shaq was even too lazy to set up a high pick-and-roll.

He came over and did it. Not only that, he didn't even want to attack with the ball. Instead, he ran to the baseline and stood there. You know, a guy like Shaq with a range of no more than 10 feet stood in that position and everyone else on the court completely became

4 against 5.

Seeing that the scores between the two sides had not changed for nearly two minutes, Popovich came up with another bad move at this time. He first called a timeout with less than 4 minutes left in the game.

When the timeout came back, the Spurs players began to engage in various foul tactics.

The purpose of this foul tactic is not to win, on the contrary, it is purely to give us points. However, this trick looked pretty good at the beginning, and the score between the two sides gradually began to pull back, but later

The referee seemed to have noticed the Spurs' deliberate foul tactics, and the referee simply chose to ignore many fouls that were not big enough.

This not only made Popovich very angry, but also made the Lakers players go crazy, because after the Spurs players couldn't get a whistle for ordinary fouls, they began to increase the range of their foul actions.

, there are many actions that later NBA can directly call a flagrant foul or even a second-level flagrant foul that is enough to be directly expelled from the game.

The physical movements of both sides became more and more frequent. Seeing that a conflict was about to break out, the referee once again exerted his force. This time the referee directly ejected the two coaches who had the loudest argument, and then both sides were ejected.

Two technical fouls.

After Popovich left the court cursing, the game finally returned to relatively normal conditions.

Finally, this game that was obviously going very fast but felt extremely slow finally came to an end. Even though Popovich tried every means to lose this game, our Lakers team was just so good.

Give them a chance and tenaciously defeat this game. Well, this can be regarded as a joke.

In the end, the Spurs won with a score of 88 to 85. I had a very good chance to tie the score with a three-pointer in the last ten seconds. At that time, I received a steady call from my teammate outside the three-point line in the corner.

Passing the ball, the basket gradually became blurry in my eyes.

When I took the shot, there was no other defensive player in the area at least 10 feet in front of me, and it took me nearly two seconds to adjust and aim at the basket. As a result, when the basketball was thrown, it was far away from the basket. This is

One note and three no-touches!

After the whole game, I made a total of 3 of 15 shots and scored 5 points on free throws. The final data was 11 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist. I shook my head and followed my teammates into the locker room. I was dejected and fiercely

Throw the changed jersey into the locker in the distance.

Because of the loss in this game, the Lakers' record has reached 6 wins and 2 losses, and they are still among the top three in the league. However, there are many strong teams behind us who are ready to catch up with us. I hope that in the next game we can

You can adjust your physical condition.

As expected, Jessica did not appear on the sidelines in these two games. On the one hand, it may be because this is a continuous away trip, and the other reason may be that something bad happened to her. I can’t help but think in my mind.

I recalled every moment I spent with her during this time, and I felt even more anxious to return to Los Angeles as soon as possible.

However, after the game, our entire Lakers team did not leave the city immediately. In view of the fact that the entire team was greatly affected by this sudden influenza, the NBA medical team urgently conducted a surprise inspection and treatment on us.

The results were relatively good. Although most of the players' flu symptoms were severe, their physical fitness was still there. After necessary infusions and drug treatment, they all showed signs of improvement quickly.

I believe that after a few days of rest and treatment, there will be nothing.

It's a big deal.

I also had a relatively comprehensive physical examination, and the results were beyond my expectations. In fact, I did not have the kind of flu that other players had. In fact, the results showed that there was no problem with my body at all, but this was

I can't explain the poor state of my body today. Not only am I puzzled, but even the head coach Silver Fox Harris is a little unconvinced.

However, the chance of errors in modern testing equipment is not very high, and the doctors who come to check are all older doctors with rich medical experience. However, they look at my body from the perspective of modern science or personal experience.

There are no problems.

I don’t know if it was a psychological effect, but after I finished this physical examination, as if to prove that the uncomfortable feeling I had before was all my own illusion, I gradually felt that the feeling of fatigue and weakness in my body disappeared.

Already.

Did my physical condition return to normal just before my examination? This thing is very strange, but I don’t have any extra thoughts to think about it in depth. I just hope that after the physical examination, the team can board the flight as soon as possible.

Plane to Los Angeles.

Because the flight had already been booked, the physical examination and treatment did not actually delay our flight to Los Angeles. Most of the people on the plane fell into a sweet sleep. After these two days, it made me feel physically and mentally.

After the exhausting back-to-back away games, no one had the extra energy or mood to talk anymore. Even an energetic guy like Shaq acted like a well-behaved baby and didn't bother him anymore.

Others rest.

I know that the Lakers' loss of this game today is actually not the responsibility of any one person. In fact, we have tried our best, and even Popovich has tried his best to act. However, in our current state, we can play against a team that wants to be ruined.

The Spurs have never played against the second team. This also reflects the uncertainty of basketball. Any team and player will have a trough period. In the long season, such nights will always occur. I must also

Learn to get used to this.

The strange thing is that I seem to be a little more energetic at this time. Not long ago, I felt sleepy and uncomfortable, but now I have suddenly returned to my best condition, both physically and mentally. This also makes me feel tired for a long time.

Way to fall asleep.

So I followed the same method as that time and started counting stars while facing the endless starry sky outside the window of the airplane. Every time after counting many stars, I felt like I was about to fall asleep, and I just shook my head.

The action would bring me back to the awake state again. This happened countless times. Anyway, I was not able to fall asleep once during the entire trip.

However, in the process of counting stars, time also seemed to pass much faster. Before they knew it, the plane had arrived at Los Angeles International Airport, and the players were embarking on their journey home.

When I returned home, it was already one o'clock in the morning. At this time, I finally began to feel sleepy. After a while, I successfully fell asleep. The dream I had that night

It was all very nice. When I woke up the next day, I felt refreshed.

After breakfast in the morning, I called Jessica as soon as possible. After waiting for about ten seconds, the other party finally answered the phone. I could hear the yawn from the other party in the phone voice.

It seems that Jessica was still sleeping just now.

I briefly greeted Jessica, and then made an appointment with her to visit her at her home during lunch.

Then I habitually performed physical training in the gym at home for about an hour and a half. The main training items were mainly flexibility training, such as stretching muscles and bones, doing some yoga, etc. to help improve my health.

Joint range of motion exercises, these trainings can make it easier for me to release the muscle potential hidden in the body, and can also help the muscles recover faster from sports injuries. If professional athletes like me want to maintain their peak condition for many years, they must

Develop good physical training habits.

Different from the poor physical condition during yesterday's game, I felt that my physical condition had returned to its best condition again after just one day. I felt certain that my other teammates would not be able to recover as quickly as I did.

Not to mention that it is difficult for them to completely recover from the flu within a week. Even when their physical condition is at its best, they cannot compare with my current condition.

I drove to Jessica's home at noon. It was about half an hour's drive between my home and Jessica's home. If there was no traffic jam, it might be a few minutes faster.

When Jessica opened the door, I could clearly feel the tired look on her face, and bags under her eyes unknowingly appeared in the corners of her eyes. When I saw it, I immediately felt very uncomfortable.

After Jessica saw my arrival, a faint smile appeared on her tired face. I stepped forward and hugged her into my arms. I only felt that her body was a little cold. In fact, her body was a little cold.

The heating was on at home, but she didn't know why her body seemed so cold.

"Something happened during the two days I was away. It feels like you haven't slept for a long time."

I gently stroked Jessica's silky blond hair. At this time, she was much more haggard than before.

"Yesterday, I mustered up the courage to go see the psychic who was introduced to me by my friend. I was so scared at the time that I felt like I was grabbing a life-saving straw, but things were not as simple as I thought."

"Really? You don't have to be too hasty. Just tell me the whole thing slowly. I will be by your side today."

"Don't leave, okay?"

Jessica stretched out her hand and grabbed my arm tightly. The strength was completely unlike what a girl could possess.

"Well, if I don't leave, I will stay with you to protect you!"

I hugged Jessica tightly into my arms. At this time, her body was soft and her body temperature gradually returned to normal. At the beginning, I could still feel her body trembling from time to time.

, and now it is slowly calming down.

"At that time, the psychic started to become crazy as soon as she touched my hand. I originally thought she was pretending to be like that, but then her voice and eyes changed, and her voice became like

An old man over seventy or eighty years old spoke something similar to Latin. I tried hard to understand what she said, but what she said was not pure Latin, even though I could roughly understand Latin.

words, but completely unable to understand what she said."

"Is she possessed by something?"

I asked curiously.

"Yes, she must be possessed by something very terrifying, and this terrifying thing was transmitted from me to her. If I hadn't touched her body, she wouldn't have

It’s going to be like that.”

Jessica's eyes were filled with tears, which were gathering in her eyes and rolling continuously, as if they were about to drip down at any time.

I gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Jessica's eyes with a napkin, and whispered gently in her ear, trying to comfort her and ease her mood a little.

"I saw what she wanted me to see, and even though I didn't understand the Latin she spoke, I could see what she saw before my eyes when she held out her hands to me.

A scene to arrive.”

"What did you see?"

"Nothingness, darkness is everywhere, nothingness is everywhere, endless, endless darkness and nothingness shrouds everything, and our end point will also become nothingness."

"Can you really see into nothingness?"

I looked at Jessica in surprise, but at this time, her eyes were staring at mine tightly, and our eyes met in mid-air.

"You have to believe me, you have to believe me."

"I believe you, Jessica, and I believe everything you say."

I could see a strong desire in her eyes, eager for me to agree with what she said.

Feeling that her emotions seemed a little uncontrollable, I gently patted her back and asked her to sit on the sofa and watch TV series first, while I prepared to cook myself and prepare some food for Jessica and me.

I don’t know what Kobe’s cooking skills are, but in my previous life, I could be considered a half-chef, because my father once served as a senior chef for a period of time. Although I did not choose this path in the end, I have been influenced by it since childhood.

It taught me a lot of cooking skills.

But to be honest, the cooking habits here in the United States are a bit different from those in my hometown. In particular, the various seasonings that are common in my hometown are very rare here. It’s not that you can’t buy these seasonings here.

But the American food culture is relatively simple. Most Americans like hamburgers and fried chicken, but there is little research on more complex cooking techniques.

I didn't find many seasonings I wanted to use at Jessica's house, but given Jessica's emotional state, it was impossible for me to go out and buy these seasonings, so I could only use these existing simple seasonings for cooking.

I found some fairly fresh beef, some lobster and some jam from the refrigerator.

Americans like to eat steak with lettuce, so I used these ingredients to make steak and vegetable salad for two people. It seems that most of the cooking skills I learned in my previous life were not able to be used. This was actually my first time cooking steak.

and making salads.

Fortunately, cooking these two kinds of food is relatively simple. After eating the steak and salad I made, Jessica couldn't help but praise my cooking skills.

"Well, it does taste pretty good."

I am quite satisfied with the taste of the steak I cooked for the first time. Because I have a certain foundation in controlling the cooking temperature, the cooked steak is moderately soft and hard, and has a smooth but not greasy texture. It should not be any worse than

How different are the chefs in steakhouses outside?

While eating steak and drinking red wine, I saw a sweet smile appear on Jessica's face again. I also told some cold jokes from time to time, and the tense atmosphere before was suddenly diluted a lot.
