Reborn My Name Is Kobe

Chapter 41: Comprehension

The Lakers have actually not held a few training games within the team. At least since the beginning of the season, there have been almost no training games within the team. The last training game I remember was when I was reborn.

Kobe Bryant's life, so I have a very deep impression on him.

I remember that when I came up, I wanted to dunk under Shaq's defense, but he knocked me to the ground hard in the end. At that time, I secretly vowed that one day I would hit a shocking shot over Shaq's head.

Damn, I don’t know if I will have such a chance today.

It stands to reason that today's team training is indeed a good opportunity to dunk on Shaq, but after playing a few balls, I discovered that the dunk that Shaq hit when he was one-on-one might not be the same.

It is not easy to fully recover, especially when I want to fully realize my potential, my body will naturally dissipate its strength in a burst of internal pain.

I know that this is the human body's instinctive self-protection mechanism. When the injury in the body is not healed, it will use pain to tell the brain not to make excessive movements to cause greater damage to the body.

At first, I thought I could get over it by gritting my teeth, but the bursts of soreness that followed made it impossible for me to turn a blind eye to it. Considering that I still have to play against the Phoenix Suns tomorrow, if I am in the same place at this time,

Injuring yourself more seriously during team training is obviously a very stupid act.

Therefore, I gave up the further head-to-head competition with Shaq and instead looked for some relatively easy offensive opportunities. In fact, the impact of injuries on professional players is often not limited to the physical body.

, more often than not, the psychological impact on players is actually the biggest challenge they have to face.

When your body is injured, it will produce an instinctive state of self-protection. When your injury is completely healed, this potential protective habit may not disappear, thus slowly changing your playing style.

Way.

Of course, the injury I suffered today should not be particularly serious, but I cannot completely ignore it, because even a small injury may become a huge hidden danger in subsequent games due to accumulated fatigue, thus making

Players have a high chance of taking greater damage.

Because of this, my performance in this team training match was quite satisfactory. I did not go all out on both the offensive and defensive ends. Even though Eddie Jones, who was opposite me, was in extremely poor condition, I did not go all out.

I didn't seize this opportunity to completely defeat him. I just scored a lot of points on top of his head at the beginning. In the subsequent games, I played without the ball more often.

.

After the final training match, Shaq's team still won the game. In fact, Shaq alone scored more than half of their points. I didn't look at Shaq's rebounds. It certainly wasn't there anyway.

There will be less than twenty. There are a few minutes where he can get more than one offensive rebound almost every minute, and almost every offensive rebound he gets can be converted into points.

Even at the end of the game, the center guarding Shaq on my side had given up resistance. As long as Shaq hit him with his back, he would retreat directly with almost no energy at all. That is true, even if he used all his strength

So what can I do? It has no other impact except making Shaq's desire for destruction stronger.

Head coach Silver Fox Harris couldn't help but shake his head off the court. It was obvious that this team training did not achieve the effect he wanted, because in fact, the condition of the entire Lakers team except Shaq looked...

It's all bad. Even if the opponent we face tomorrow is not too strong, the state of the entire team is still worrying.

After the team training, Silver Fox Harris didn't say too much to criticize the players. Obviously, he could also see that many players had a lot of dark circles on their faces today, so no matter what he said in this situation, everyone was

There is no way to listen. Instead of wasting time and energy here, it is better for the players to go back early and prepare. After all, the entire Lakers team will board a plane to Phoenix in a few hours.

After the team training, I found the Lakers team doctor and told him about being kidnapped by Shaq today. Obviously he was a little surprised by this because he felt that I should have treated him before the team training started.

When I told him about this, I knew that Shaq's kidnapping power was not something that ordinary people could withstand. He seemed very worried about whether my thin body had suffered internal injuries at this time.

I want to say something but don't know how to say it. After all, he is the professional one in identifying injuries, so it seems that I should trust him more than trust my own feelings.

Then I went to the Lakers' physical examination room at the strong request of the team doctor. I thought it was just a small skin injury, but it was not like this. However, the results of the examination still surprised me. I didn't expect Shaq's kidnapping.

It really caused a lot of damage to my body, and a lot of congestion was gathering in my body at this time.

It’s no wonder that I felt like I couldn’t exert my strength during previous training matches. It seemed that I was really overconfident. Fortunately, the team doctor was professional enough and it’s not too late to discover this now.

Then I followed him for some treatment. The first thing I had to do was to apply ice to the injured area. In this era, there was no large-scale refrigeration equipment like that that later appeared in the NBA, so many times the players'

Ice is applied directly using ice cubes.

I have to say that the ice compress is a bit sore at first, but after you get used to it, your body will become numb, because the cold will reduce the body's sensory sensitivity, so you won't feel anything at all later.

I took a nap in the treatment room, and then the team doctor sprayed me with some topical medicine to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, and gave me some necessary medical advice, especially telling me that this injury might affect me for three to five days.

During this period of time, it is best not to make particularly large body movements, otherwise it is likely to cause secondary damage to the body.

A few hours later, I followed the Lakers on the plane to Phoenix. This time I quickly fell asleep on the plane. The vague soreness in my body was still a little uncomfortable, but

It also makes it easier for me to fall asleep.

I seemed to have had some vague dreams, but the fragments of these dreams were too fragmented, like some briefly flashed movie scenes, in which I could find some familiar shadows, but when I

After waking up from the dream, I could no longer remember who the owner of those shadows was.

They may come from the memories of my previous life, or they may come from the memories of Kobe's current life. It seems that I still can't distinguish the two. In that darkness, some voices are faintly visible.

When I woke up again, I found that there were not many people left on the plane. Coach Silver Fox Harris walked past me and woke me up from my dream.

"I heard from the team doctor that you were injured. How do you feel now?"

I was a little surprised that this guy started to care about my injury, but then I thought about it, he might not have good intentions, but no matter what the purpose of asking, I still truthfully told the story of my injury.

told him.

"Young man, I know you young people are all competitive, but you have to know your own strength before looking for an opponent. You go to Shaq for a one-on-one challenge? This is really something that anyone with a normal mind can do.

?”

Sure enough, Silver Fox Harris's tone was full of cynicism, but I couldn't bear to say anything more. Thinking about it carefully, everything he said seemed not unreasonable. Is it true that I was looking for trouble? Could it be that at that time

Your brain is a little twitchy, so you went to challenge Shaq?

After I got off the plane, I put all those messy thoughts behind me because I finally figured it out. Even if I was given another chance to choose again, I would still challenge Shaq for a duel!

Because I am this kind of person, and Kobe is this kind of person. I will not be afraid of the strength of my opponent, but will only become more excited because of it, stimulating a stronger inner fighting power. This is the blood of a warrior, eager to fight.

character!

Of course, after this lesson, I will still try my best to go to Shaq after I am fully prepared. In fact, it is not just Shaq. He is not the only one of my potential challenge targets.

A powerful being, whether it is Iverson or even Jordan, I am afraid that I have no chance now. Maybe I should keep a low profile and improve my strength.

After arriving at the hotel in the evening, I didn't fall asleep immediately. Instead, I went to the hot spring center in the hotel. I soaked in the hot spring pool very comfortably. The main reason for doing this was to heal as soon as possible from the injuries I had suffered before.

The temperature of the hot springs here is a bit high, but this is just what I like. It should be able to dissipate the congestion in the body as quickly as possible.

In fact, when I was lying in the hot spring pool with my eyes closed, my brain entered a very relaxed state, and the videos of Jordan I had watched in the past few days kept reappearing in my mind.

Jordan's movements are very graceful and efficient. However, not everyone can imitate his movements. I thought about the reason why Kobe can imitate Jordan's movements so closely. In fact, there is one most important prerequisite, which is

His physical fitness and physical type are similar to Jordan's.

Regardless of height, body shape, or even motor type, Kobe can be regarded as a weakened version of Jordan. Kobe's athletic talent is definitely not as good as Jordan's, whether it is the size of his hands, the ability to stay in the air, or the explosive power and body control ability.

A level worse than Jordan.

But Kobe's physical talent is already considered top-notch compared to other players in the NBA. This must be admitted. Many people think that Kobe only achieved such great achievements through hard work. In fact, it is not objective enough, because whether it is

From the perspective of static talent and dynamic talent, Kobe is underestimated.

One kind of talent that many people have not considered is the strong learning ability. For example, two people with the same physical talent enter the NBA. At first, their basketball skills are rough, but one of them will become a

One player became an all-around superstar, while the other one still could only rely on his physical talent to play, and finally became a blue-collar player for the team as he grew older.

What widens the gap between the two is learning ability. The same intensity of training has very different effects on different people. Take the Kobe Bryant body I have during this period, for example, at the beginning I was completely

I couldn't find the feeling of shooting, but after several individual exercises and cooperative training with the shooting coach, I found that

I found that my shooting feeling has improved rapidly.

You must know that if most people want to change their shooting movements, there will be a long period of physical adaptation. However, I only adapted to the new shooting rhythm in a short period of time. This is Kobe's most powerful talent.

One, super strong training comprehension ability.

So not everyone can become as strong as Kobe by practicing hard. Only with talent, hard work, and finally a little bit of luck can he have a chance to become a real NBA superstar.

I closed my eyes and thought about these things. Unknowingly, I fell asleep in the comfortable hot spring. I don’t know who woke me up in the end. Later I realized that the time had already reached two o’clock in the morning.

, even the hot spring center will be closed.

I returned to my room. At this time, I could no longer feel the pain from the previous injury. Even if I gently squeezed the skin of the injured area with my hand, I would not feel it.

Too many feelings.

This allows me to completely relax and fall asleep.

I got up very early the next day, at least earlier than on my previous road trip. I remember that the last time I came to Phoenix, I got up quite late, and I could even go to have lunch directly after getting up.

It was not even ten o'clock in the morning after I woke up today. I still had some food in the hotel, and then decided to take a bus to see around Phoenix.

Phoenix is ​​a very beautiful city. Not only is the city well planned, the people here are also warm and hospitable. Just like the fire phoenix represented by Phoenix, the whole city is full of passion and warmth of fire. Today's

The weather also happens to be clear and sunny, allowing people walking on the street to feel the warmth of winter.

I sat quietly on a seat in the square, staring blankly at the fountain not far away. The adults were playing happily with their children. Some children who were only a few years old would jump directly into the fountain naked.

Playing in the water and having fun makes people nostalgic for the happy days of childhood.

My memories of past lives are a little blurry, especially those of childhood. I don’t know why. The figures that are gradually moving away from me, those feelings that are so close to me yet seem so far away.

A figure on the horizon.

There was a little girl running up to me with a balloon. She kindly handed me the hot air balloon string in her hand. A bright smile appeared on my face. I carefully took it.

After passing the balloon, I saw a young mother behind her, and standing next to her was another little boy less than ten years old.

However, judging from their appearance, they do not seem to be native Americans. Maybe they are also tourists from other countries. On this warm and bright morning, we are destined to meet in this square. My heart seems to be melted.

.

I thought of Jessica and thought it would be great if she could be by my side and feel the warm sunshine with me.

Good times always pass very quickly. I spent a few hours wandering around the streets of Phoenix and randomly bought some handmade products. These handmade products were all made by hand, without any assistance from machines.

But the level of detail they present is even more powerful than those made by machines.

Some of them I bought specifically for Jessica. I didn't know what kind of handmade products she would like, so I bought some of various types, and of course some others were bought for myself.

At noon, I found a spaghetti shop that was doing very well. There were too many people waiting in front of this noodle shop, but I was curious because its business was much better than the surrounding shops. I learned from it.

There is nothing special about the decoration. There is only one reason that can explain all this, and that is that this store must have a good reputation, which is why so many customers are willing to party and eat.

I feel like I'm not in a hurry. The game against the Phoenix Suns won't start until after eight o'clock in the evening, and I'm in a particularly good mood today, so I sit on the small bench and bask in the sun, waiting for the long game.

Long queues are not completely unacceptable.

The only thing that made me feel uncomfortable was that there were too many couples around me. It felt like I was alone in the queue, although I didn't pay much attention to it at first.

Yes, but as time went by, the intimate movements between them still made me feel uncomfortable.

It's really a pity that Jessica couldn't come here. I will definitely take Jessica with me the next time I go away.

Thinking about it this way, I feel like the time in line passes so slowly.

But when I actually tasted the pasta in this restaurant, I still had to admit that it was not a bad idea to wait in such a long line. Maybe it was because Kobe spent his childhood in Italy. When it comes to this pasta

After entering my mouth, some vague pictures appeared in my mind.

Those memories of Kobe's childhood are gradually becoming clearer. Some of the scenes are rare parent-child moments between Kobe and his father, Joe. At least at that time, their relationship was still very good. At that time, Kobe could still laugh, and he could laugh happily.

Extremely real.
