Reborn My Name Is Kobe

Seeing Shaq completely ignore my outside three-point shot, I seemed to have some fluctuations in my heart. Human beings are such strange creatures. There is a kind of person who is when the opponent takes special care of you and defends you well, you will

Play particularly well because your concentration will be very high, and if the opponent completely ignores you and hardly defends you, you may feel particularly uncomfortable at this time, causing subtle psychological fluctuations.

It may also affect your performance.

And Kobe is exactly such a person. He can perform better when faced with a stronger defense, but sometimes when your opponent ignores you, you may not be able to make a shot.

Any action I make outside the three-point line is meaningless, because Shaq will not guard it at all. Now I have enough space and time to take action, but I don’t know what rhythm I should use.

Shooting was done.

Logically speaking, the most stable shooting method is to shoot from the spot without much jumping, so that the balance of the entire body is easiest to control. However, for me, most of the training actually pays more attention to shooting when there is a defender.

Even when there is a confrontation, my shots almost always require a very high jump. Now that I am wide open, I suddenly hesitate.

Just a few tenths of a second of hesitation was enough to make me pay the price. After taking the three-point shot, I knew that the ball was deflected. I also had a premonition of the possible rebound route of the rebound in advance and wanted to fight for the offensive rebound.

However, Shaq's height, wingspan and athletic ability were too terrifying. Even though I had already reached the rebounding position in advance, this guy was like an elephant flying in the air, blocking out the sky and the sun from above my head.

I went over and snatched the rebound that was about to be taken away from me. I bumped sideways into Shaq's back, and as a result, I was knocked directly and flew far away.

I was knocked to the ground, but unwilling to admit defeat, I bounced directly off the ground with a movement similar to a carp's kick. I have to admire the strong core strength of Kobe's body. He can complete such a high center of gravity very easily.

This action.

Shaq looked at me with a smile and raised the ball above his head with one hand. The more I looked at his smile, the angrier he became, and my inner fighting spirit instantly ignited, raising my concentration to another level.

I just wanted to steal the ball while Shaq was underestimating his opponent. I had already made a plan in my mind. By the time Shaq launched his next attack, I had already changed my steal strategy. He still seemed to think that I was

I will defend him just like I did for the first ball before. However, this time I did not attack easily, but I was looking for the best opportunity.

Although Shaq's ball protection ability is very good among centers, after all, his body center of gravity is still a bit too high, so when he starts dribbling from outside the three-point line, I can still

Find some flaws in his dribbling.

It was this opportunity. My movements were like a bolt of lightning, so fast that even my own brain couldn't keep up with my body. In the flash of lightning, I took advantage of Shaq's forward change of direction.

I directly pushed the ball out, and then I accelerated and chased the ball back to my hand.

Looking back at Shaq, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared, and his eyes seemed to say that this good boy has his own tricks.

What surprised me was that this steal seemed to stimulate Shaq's nerves a little. He finally gave up his previous defensive strategy of completely ignoring me, and actually started to rush up to defend me personally.

Hahaha, this is good news for me, because Shaq's height and weight are too large, so his overall inertia is also very large, and the closer he is to me when he is guarding me, then my changes will be

After passing him, you can open up a larger attacking space.

Shaq roared and charged forward, but his movements suddenly slowed down in my eyes. In fact, everything around me seemed to be several beats slower than usual.

Okay, let me teach you what a change of direction is in front of the body. What Shaq can’t learn is that he has to imitate other people’s steals. Just when Shaq rushed up and wanted to use his strength to forcefully steal the ball, I

The center of gravity of the whole person has been completely lowered to the lowest point, and a forward change of direction has been performed at a very extreme position.

Obviously Shaq's nerves couldn't keep up with the speed of my change of direction. Even if his nerves could keep up, his body couldn't keep up. In this way, I left Shaq behind in one step.

Behind me, he rushed forward again due to inertia before stopping. At this time, I had already rushed into the penalty area in three steps, and then rose into the sky like an eagle with spread wings, soaring through the air.

Finally, the ball was put into the basket gracefully.

This ball put me into a state of excitement. I haven't experienced such a hearty dunking feeling for a long time. Sure enough, I still have to fight against strong opponents to stimulate my potential. This feeling may only be

I can only surpass Shaq when I dunk on him. I'm also looking forward to that day coming soon. Of course, it doesn't mean that there will be no chance at all today. I'm just afraid that if I really dunk on Shaq, he will

You won't just tear me apart with your hands.

At this time, Shaq was obviously starting to get a little angry, and his next attack would be much harder. This time, I didn't find a chance to steal his dribble. In fact, his body hit me.

When I was on defense, my whole body felt like it was being hit hard by a huge wall. I tried my best to stabilize my body, but was directly knocked to the ground by Shaq.

This time it didn't hurt at all. I felt my head was a little dizzy and I couldn't get up from the ground for a long time.

I don’t know how long it took, but I found myself lying on a bench on the sidelines, and Shaq was standing in front of me, smiling arrogantly. When he laughed, his mouth opened so wide that it made people want to

Punch him twice in the face.

"Forget it, you are too vulnerable. I just used 50% of my strength to knock you out. You don't have a concussion, right?"

This guy was like a weasel giving New Year greetings to a chicken, and he was uneasy and well-intentioned. However, I shook my head a little, and I felt that I was still conscious, and there was no particularly serious dizzy sequelae.

"You call this only using 50% of your power. Yes, even if you only used 50% of your power, it was all used on the crutch. Your iron crutch seems to be no less powerful than postman Karl Malone!"

"Who is that kid Ma Long? I can lift him up and beat him with one hand, whether he is playing ball or fighting, hahaha!"

Shaq's arrogant laughter continued, and at this time, some players were already arriving in the arena. Of course, these guys are all people who did not attend Shaq's party yesterday. I haven't yet

It can be determined whether those guys can show up on time for today's team training.

"Come on, I won't challenge you to a one-on-one match. It's really hard for a defender to fight against a center. If we have a chance, we can find a few teammates for a three-on-three match. That would be more fair."

"It's up to you. Today's duel won't count. When you find a strong enough helper, it won't be too late for us to fight again."

"It sounds like I'm looking for a helper. Let me tell you, I'm not looking for a particularly strong teammate. I just need a blue-collar insider who can help me carry you and grab rebounds."

"Can you hold me up? I'm afraid you can't even find a few of the top centers in this league, hahaha! And you said your requirements are not high?"

When he said this, I felt a little confused about how to answer. What he said was indeed very reasonable. After all, there seemed to be very few centers in this league who could hold him up. From the past

Judging from several games, even the centers with the strongest defensive abilities in the league cannot really restrict him.

Whether it is today's rookie insider Camby or Uncle Mu who is nearly 2.2 meters tall, or Olajuwon, who has the highest blocking data in history, the most they can do is restrict Shaq for a period of time.

When Shaq really shows his strength, even several inside defenders can't stop this guy.

"It doesn't matter. Anyway, I will defeat you with my own ability. Just wait and see."

"I have to say that I still admire your courage. There are not many outsiders in this league who dare to challenge me. I even think Air Jordan doesn't have the courage, because his thin body can't hold my beast.

Power!"

"Yes, even Jordan can't resist your kidnapping and clear the way."

I said angrily. I felt that there was still some vague pain in the place where I was hit by his kidnapper. If it was just a little hard injury on the skin, it would be okay, but if it was damage to the soft tissue, then it would be a bit outweighing the gain.

As time went by, more and more people came to train in the arena. At this time, Shaq stopped practicing. He also found a bench on the side of the court and lay down on it to play.

Come snore.

I shook my head, stood up again, and started to join in the ball practice again.

What surprised me was that when the team training started later, basically all the Lakers players arrived on time. One or two of them were only a little late, although a few of them

There are also some traces of dark circles around the eyes, but at least they were able to arrive on time, which is not easy.

Of course, I also believe that they will not be in a good competitive state if they don't get enough sleep, especially considering that we just played a game against the Clippers yesterday, even though we only took away the game with our strength in the second half,

But in the second half, we really went all out, so we definitely couldn’t let any fatigue accumulate.

I can barely feel the pain in the place where I was hit by Shaq's crutch just now. However, when the range of movement I performed exceeds a certain level, I can still clearly feel the stretching of the muscles inside my body.

It was a bad sign, but I believed that with 18-year-old Kobe's physical recovery ability, he would be able to recover on his own in a short time, so I didn't take it to heart.

In today's team training, head coach Silver Fox Harris rarely looked more serious. In fact, he was not particularly focused on the team training this season before. Considering that our Lakers lineup is indeed strong enough, and

There is also the boss Shaq who likes to lead the team through laziness, so the training enthusiasm of the whole team is really not very high.

Even if head coach Silver Fox Harris really emphasizes the importance of training, once everyone sees Shaq's lazy look, they can't help but imitate him, and the energy they put into training will be lost.

Too much.

But things are obviously different today. At least the attitude of Silver Fox Harris is a bit tougher than usual. Maybe he is dissatisfied with our performance in the game against the Clippers yesterday, especially

The entire first half

The indifferent attitude shown by the main players may have made him aware of some potential crises.

At the beginning of training, he repeatedly emphasized that the regular season is very long, but we cannot relax easily at any time, because once we relax, it will be difficult to become nervous when we encounter strong enemies again.

, as the saying goes, sweat more in peacetime and bleed less in war. If our opponents who are stronger than us are more diligent than us, why should we compete for the championship?

Everyone in the team listened silently to this. Even Shaq, who was usually a little careless, seemed to have restrained himself a lot. Of course, he knew that some of the subtext between the lines of Silver Fox Harris was criticizing him. In fact, it was normal for him to

Shaq doesn't care about this at all. Harris's words will only go in one ear and out the other, and he won't take it seriously at all. But today, Shaq feels a little different. Could it be that he has changed his gender?

I don't quite believe this. As the saying goes, one can change one's nature but one's nature cannot be changed. Shaq can change his careless personality. I think the sun may rise from the west tomorrow.

Then the head coach Silver Fox Harris divided the team into two teams. He intentionally paired me and Shaq separately. It seemed that he also wanted to see my performance against Shaq. This was exactly what I wanted.

Shaq's duel really made me a little unwilling. I firmly believed that I had a chance to lead the team to defeat Shaq.

Generally speaking, the strength of the two teams is fairly balanced, but considering that no one in the team can stop Shaq, it is a bit difficult to completely balance it no matter what teammates are arranged for Shaq. In fact, except for the inside of our Lakers team,

Besides Shaq, I really can't find anyone else who can carry the banner in the paint.

On the contrary, this Lakers team actually has good depth on the outside. After all, with my ability, I can only play less than 20 minutes on the bench, and the starting backcourt is all star-quality.

However, both sides seemed a little listless in the following intra-team competition. It was obvious that these guys must have drank a lot and did some other exercises at Shaq's party last night. Most of them were a little weak at this time, except for a few who did not go.

Except for the people who attended Shaq's party, who were still normal, the other players' competitive status declined to varying degrees.

In many cases, this decline may not be fully visible on the surface, but when they get an open shot opportunity, their shooting feeling is often much worse than when they usually have sufficient physical fitness. Physical fitness is amazing.

When you are not bad at it, you may not feel its importance at all, but once you lose your physical fitness, you will find that the basket may be like a huge lid to you, but no matter how good it is

You may not be able to get the basketball into the basket smoothly no matter how many shots you have.

Head coach Silver Fox Harris also seems to have noticed that something is not right. Combined with the dark circles on these guys' faces, no matter how stupid you are, you should have guessed it, but sometimes Harris is really

He is like an old fox, and he is the kind of old fox who likes to be smart. He just likes to use some insinuating words. Many times it feels very hypocritical and artificial. I really don't like this kind of person anyway.

On the contrary, Shaq's physical fitness is a bit incredible. I can't seem to tell that this guy didn't sleep all night long. Although dark circles also appeared on his face, his

My physical condition is still very good.

Maybe another reason is that the center he is facing is too weak. I think even if Shaq is only 50% fit, he can still be easily crushed into pieces.

I thought about what I just said to Shaq, about finding a center who can hold him up and grab rebounds. I couldn't help but have a wry smile on my face. I didn't expect that my seemingly innocuous words were really like a joke.

Same.

Come on, since my teammates can’t do their best, I have to do my best.

My opponent is Eddie Jones, the starting shooting guard of the Lakers. His personal strength is actually very good, but his physical talents are really not as good as mine. Many times I can just use some physical talents.

To take advantage of the situation, after all, my personal skills have not reached a high enough level at this time, and I am actually using my physical talents to play ball a lot of the time.

In fact, as I said before, Eddie Jones was not in good shape when paired with Shaq. The same is true today. In addition, he also attended Shaq's party yesterday, so the matchup between me and him today is basically

He was in a one-sided state. As an All-Star, he was directly beaten by me as a rookie. Whether it was the defensive end or the offensive end, his performance can be described as a disaster.

This is how it is on the basketball court. If your momentum can overwhelm the opponent, then you will feel more and more comfortable playing, and the reverse is also true. If your condition is not good, you are likely to become less and less able.

Well, at this time, you need a very strong heart to fight against those frustrations. In fact, not everyone can achieve stronger strength in adversity.

But a true superstar must have this quality. In fact, I think Shaq is quite inadequate at this point. He is often the kind of player who is in good times. Once he plays well, he may be invincible.

, but he may not be able to perform well when encountering players who are tougher than him.

I guess this may be one of the important reasons why Shaq has been swept in the playoffs so many times in his career. When the team falls behind, his huge body may not necessarily be able to carry the team on his shoulders.
