Reborn My Name Is Kobe

Chapter 4: Show off your skills

According to the schedule, we can have two days of rest after this home game, and then we will go to Staples Arena again to play a game with the visiting Timberwolves.

If I remember correctly, this year is already the second season of Wolf King Kevin Garnett, and there is another person in their team who is very familiar to the Chinese audience, that is Coach Marbrima, but at that time he

They were not as approachable as they were later. The stars of that era all had a bit of a rebellious streak. Whether it was Kobe Bryant, Wolf King, Marbury or Iverson, they all had a brand imprinted by the times in their bones.

The NBA has become increasingly rare and precious.

Of course, I will definitely try my best to greet Coach Ma. If I have the opportunity to face him head-on, I will definitely work hard on defense. At that time, there were not many people in the Timberwolves with particularly strong scoring ability, and Ma

Brie's style of play is one that likes one-on-one singles, and what Kobe is best at is one-on-one individual defense. Now this body's talent is enough for me to lock down the opponent's core offensive players throughout the whole process. Maybe

What is relatively lacking is defensive experience.

Although the NBA at this time was much more friendly to defenders than later, in the eyes of experienced offensive players, opportunities to cause fouls could be found anytime and anywhere.

I must start learning how to control the overall number of fouls now, otherwise when I become the absolute core of the team in the future, failing to control fouls will definitely cause me considerable trouble.

At this time, Kobe was still living with his parents. I don’t know why Kobe would have such a big conflict with his parents later, but judging from my experience in my previous life, after all, every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite.

, for families of successful people, maybe sometimes we have to have a more tolerant attitude towards it. It is normal for family members to have conflicts, although I also think Kobe Bryant behaved a bit in this matter.

It's too much.

Maybe I can improve the relationship between Kobe and his parents. Although I only have Kobe's body, many memories about him actually exist in this head, but these memories sometimes appear a bit messy.

and broken. After all, when your brain has to process the memories of two lives at the same time, it feels like suffering from schizophrenia, and your reason will tell you that everything really happened. This can only be experienced.

Only those who have experienced it can understand it.

In this era, there are no personal computers, no smart phones, no big-screen TVs, and even small-screen game consoles are not that good. So when I returned to my room, I could only lie on the bed and stare at the room.

I was stunned by the Jordan poster on the wall. Maybe I could concentrate on reading a best-selling novel, but then I felt that this idea was not a good one.

The reason is actually very simple. Although I can easily understand novels that are all in English, there is a huge difference between the Chinese grammar in the previous life and the English grammar in this life. For a while, it is really difficult for me to understand these English expressions.

I find some so-called literary beauty in it, but I always feel that the stories described in it seem pale and weak, and it is difficult to compare with the Chinese best-sellers I have read in my previous life. Maybe I will be able to adapt to it after a period of time, but I still do it now

Less than.

No, it’s impossible to fall asleep smoothly even if you go to bed so early. At this time, through the glass window of the room, I saw several black teenagers passing by my door. They were wearing caps and weird clothes.

, vaguely humming some kind of rap ditty in his mouth, showing off his football skills as he walked.

By the way, there is a black community nearby, which has a pretty good basketball atmosphere. Thinking of this, my body felt like a lot of ants crawling on it in an instant. I couldn't lie down on the bed for a moment, so I put on casual clothes.

, and then I put on a duck-bill hat and a pair of sunglasses. The reason why I did this was because I didn’t want to be recognized by them, which would inevitably cause a lot of trouble. No matter whether anyone knew me or not, I didn’t want to

Take the risk.

Anyway, I just went to play casually, thinking that I just had itchy hands.

Just find a few people to practice with, there should be no problem.

When I entered the stadium wearing sunglasses, I suddenly found that dressing like this was self-defeating and attracted more attention. Of course, I can also attribute the reason to my height. In such an ordinary community, even the height of a defender

They are almost the tallest, at least there are no more than three people who are close to me in height as far as I can see.

I pretended to ignore these glances and just dribbled the ball casually. Soon the teenagers I just saw at home seemed to have noticed my presence. What made me very happy was that they did not recognize me.

Come out of me.

"Our team happens to be short of an inside man, so you can be our center."

A slender figure no more than 1.8 meters tall said, but judging from his tone and actions, he seemed to be the boss of these teenagers.

"But I'm not very good at playing basketball. They all look so good. Don't you be afraid of me dragging you back?"

I pretended to be a badass, and even when I dribbled the ball, it hit my ankle and bounced far away, which made me laugh.

"Just stand inside and put the ball directly into the basket like I did."

There was another young man who was over 1.8 meters tall and had extremely long arms. He easily picked up the ball and made a big windmill with his arms.

To be honest, this action is a bit surprising to me. It seems that American street basketball is really a hidden dragon and crouching tiger. This dunk action is considered good even in the NBA Slam Dunk Contest, but it is a pity that their physical fitness is still unable to compete with the NBA.

Compared with those professional players, they may be very good at dunking, but in actual games, the gap is very large.

"Wow! That's amazing!" I clapped involuntarily.

"Okay then, remember to pass more penalties to me later."

Soon, I and three other teenagers formally formed a team to challenge a group of venues that seemed quite difficult to mess with. Of course, I didn't care, but I always felt that challenging them with the strength of these guys was just the way to go.

Abuse.

The game officially started, and even in street games, it was usually full-court. Because I was the tallest, I was assigned to the center position, and the guy opposite me really reminded me of another guy.

people.

"Okay, I'll just think of this guy as a smaller version of O'Neal."

I was thinking silently in my heart, but that guy is a few centimeters shorter than me, and his weight is probably close to the level of O'Neal at the peak. His belly is like an oversized swimming ring, and anyone who is stuck with him

Everyone will be squeezed out by his belly.

Forget it, I can't really block him like a center. After all, Kobe's 1.98 meter body seems to weigh less than 190 kilograms. I still have to use my advantages to go

beat.

"Use the method I taught you to detain that fat man!"

I always feel like several of my teammates here are like undercover agents. Even though I said I don’t know how to play anymore, they actually ask me to face this fat guy and then dunk him?

Okay, since it seems like I can't hide it anymore, let me deduct it.

Soon after I was positioned inside, they actually lobbed the ball to me. I turned my back to protect the ball in front of me. As soon as the fat man exerted his strength, I almost lost my support and was knocked to the ground.

Good Kobe's core strength is good enough.

I quickly found the balance point of my body again. When the fat man wanted to exert force again, I directly used my strength and turned sideways along the bottom line of the fat man's belly like a top.

Then I turned the fat man behind me.

That fat man looked like a loach when he saw me

Sliding across his body, he wanted to stretch out his thick arms to catch me. Well, I admit that he almost succeeded, but unfortunately I am Kobe Bryant.

I pushed my foot down hard and got rid of the fat man completely. However, it was then that I discovered that they had another teammate standing under the basket trying to block me. Moreover, he took off earlier than me and saw that I had already withdrawn my strength.

It's too late.

However, things obviously did not develop as he expected. When his body began to fall, my body was still rising. In the end, I did not finish with a powerful dunk, but a

A more difficult pull, passing directly by the defender, then moving his body to the other side of the basket, and with one final shot, he turned back to look at the moon and hit the ball up the board.

Although it sounds quite complicated, in fact it all happened in just one or two seconds. After landing, I just spread my hands to indicate that this was just my luck.

The teenagers also looked at me with expressions of disbelief. Maybe they had never seen such a powerful "player who couldn't play" before.

In the next offensive round, they handed the ball into my hands again. This time, I did not choose to post up the big fat man, but made a triple threat action from outside the three-point line. The fat man just suffered a loss.

He looked like someone had kidnapped his wife, and now he was staring at me fiercely, dragging his huge body to the point where he was near the three-point line.

A slight smile appeared on the corner of my mouth, thinking that it would be really difficult for me to fight unless you come out. Now that you have left the inside, your defense will be completely flawless in my opinion.

The fat man saw that I kept threatening but didn't move. He couldn't help but step forward to grab the ball from me. I spotted this opportunity and directly used the moment when he pounced to change direction in front of me. The ball

The range is extremely large, just like the ball Iverson passed by Jordan that year. Although it looks nothing special, because of the speed and range of movement, the defender's body will have difficulty reacting due to inertia.

come over.

What's more, this guy weighs at least three hundred pounds. When I passed him, I even turned around and glanced at him. However, his other three teammates didn't seem to be any trouble. At this moment, they actually rushed out together, thinking.

To form a defensive formation similar to a pocket formation, it seems like they have already figured out that I can't pass the ball.

Well, the only martial arts in the world is fast, so this battle can only be ended before their pocket formation is fully formed.

I directly lowered my center of gravity, and my whole body seemed to be gliding close to the ground, passing by the defenders who were rushing towards me. The last defender stood under the basket again, and then jumped high when he saw me coming.

I admit that this guy's jumping is quite good, but I won't give him another chance this time.

A heavy dunk was completed. In order to complete this action, I stretched my body to the limit, directly pressed the defender's body in the air and performed a tomahawk chop with an extended arm. After the dunk, I again

He hung on the basket for a few seconds before coming down.

No matter how arrogant these guys were before, they all seemed much more honest now. Then I played here for about two hours before I started shooting the ball again and headed home.

Generally speaking, the basketball level in this black community is actually quite good. Many guys who look short in height often have amazing jumping and explosive power. Many dunks feel more explosive than those in the NBA.

However, the gap between ordinary basketball enthusiasts and NBA players is so huge in every aspect that many of their actions seem to be in slow motion in my eyes, as are those seemingly fierce defenses.

It is full of loopholes.

After all, I can’t play with these guys for too long. That will only make my skills worse and worse. It seems that even if I can’t help but feel itchy in the future, I should try to play wild ball in these places as little as possible. Only by challenging those more powerful opponents can I

Let me grow up faster.
