Reborn My Name Is Kobe

When playing basketball, I actually feel that time flies very fast, especially during training. This feeling is particularly obvious. My current personal training has actually begun to have some relatively mature rules.

In fact, a large part of the credit for this should be attributed to the shooting coach of the Lakers. He helped me optimize many shooting movements. As the saying goes, the master leads the way, and practice depends on the individual.

As long as I find a relatively good training method, the next thing I need to rely on is my unremitting training. For most people, practicing alone may be a boring thing, but for me

This is indeed a process full of fun, and I enjoy it very much.

Many people make a mistake when training, that is, they pursue the gorgeous movements and hit rate too much during training. Originally, I was like this at the beginning, focusing on the movement postures during training.

And he pays great attention to the shooting percentage in training.

But after training several times with the Lakers shooting coach, I gradually began to understand that training itself is actually more of a process of maintaining muscle memory and shooting rhythm, and if you are always training

If you invest too much energy to pursue some movements that are close to the limit for you, then such training is destined to be difficult to last, and will eventually have a negative impact on your overall training.

Similarly, the deliberate pursuit of shooting accuracy will cause hesitation in one's shots, which will also bring about more losses than gains to a large extent. In fact, maintaining smooth movement and shooting feeling during training is the most important point.

When your muscle memory and shooting rhythm are very smooth and comfortable, you can complete the shot at any time just like eating and drinking.

In the final analysis, those difficult shooting movements are not deliberately pursued. Although I do deliberately learn and imitate shooting movements like Jordan's, I do not say that I must force myself to use them in games.

In fact, if I can use these movements very naturally and smoothly during the competition, it only means that I have completely integrated these movements into my instinctive movements in my daily training.

It's the kind of action that can be done just by instinct without having to think about it.

Of course, my personal training today is still very intense, but it seems that I have temporarily reached a small bottleneck. Perhaps it is because the competitive status bonus brought by my previous training is already very high.

, which means that in a short period of time, my potential has been basically tapped out by myself. At this time, I will enter a relatively low state.

In fact, this is also determined by the laws of nature. Everyone's state will have ups and downs. No matter how hard you try to train, you can't change this. Even when your training intensity is too high, at a certain period

It may also cause certain side effects within a period of time, and then the competitive status will decline to a certain extent.

Under normal circumstances, if there is such a decline in competitive status, it is necessary to temporarily reduce the training intensity and make some physical and psychological adjustments. After all, the NBA regular season is long and arduous, just like the Great Wall cannot be repaired in one day.

Likewise, I can't be too eager for success and risk getting injured due to overtraining.

Of course, at least today I haven't felt the fatigue of overtraining, but I have to say that I have clearly felt that the sense of improvement brought by training has become weaker.

This may be like the marginal utility in mathematics. The effect of doing something will become worse and worse the longer you do it. Training must also follow this rule.

Therefore, after training, I will perform necessary stretching training on my body, and even add some items such as yoga movements, to make my body more flexible as much as possible, so as to prevent some possible

Injuries that occur.

About an hour and a half before the game was about to start, I received a call from Amy, the girl I met this morning. She and her boyfriend and several other good friends actually came outside the competition venue. After I heard

I am still very happy. Every fan of mine is a motivation for me and can inspire me to face every game in a better state and with greater passion.

I think these NBA fans are so cute when I can see Amy's smile again. She and her good friends are wearing the jerseys of different teams. God knows how there can be such big differences among these good friends.

, surprisingly everyone’s favorite players are from different teams.

I bought tickets for them, but unfortunately I couldn't buy them consecutive tickets, but at least I bought two consecutive tickets for Amy and her boyfriend.

At that time, her boyfriend looked like a stupid boy who was in high school. I even suspected that he was several years younger than Amy. Of course, at this time, I had just graduated from high school.

He is also a young boy.

An hour and a half later, the game finally kicked off. As expected, the entire basketball court was almost full. The home fans were extremely enthusiastic, and the home jerseys they wore were relatively neat.

, of course, there are still many fans who like to wear their own

I like the team’s jersey.

Today, all the Lakers players came relatively early. Among them, Shaq actually took the lead and came to the gym early. Moreover, he even obediently practiced free throws, which he was least good at, under the leadership of the shooting coach.

.

Seeing this change in this guy's attitude, I silently blessed him with a few words, hoping that he could have a good free throw shooting touch in today's game.

However, later facts proved that this idea of ​​mine could only be wishful thinking, or maybe I was just a bitch. In the end, Shaq’s free throws in this game can only be described as horrific. Of course, all this is a story later, at least.

Now he feels pretty good about his free throw shooting in training.

I'm also a little curious about why Shaq has such a bad free throw touch. In fact, the feel in his hands is not bad. Although he doesn't have a strong mid-range shooting ability, he has a very skilled shot around the penalty area.

Big and small hooks.

In my opinion, this hook technique actually tests the player's touch more. I just don't know why he can maintain the hook shooting rate at a very high level, but has difficulty practicing free throws well.

He himself may blame his huge hands, but NBA players who have small hands have nothing to do with it. Don’t Jordan and later Kawhi Leonard also have huge hands? Even the same

The tall insider Boban's hands are probably bigger than Shaq's, but their free throw shooting percentages are very impressive, but Shaq has never been able to make his free throw shooting percentage exceed 60% throughout his career.

The Warriors' starters are quite gorgeous, but the biggest problem in their lineup is that the substitutes are not particularly strong. In fact, from the age configuration of the personnel, the Warriors are quite good, from rookies who have just entered the league to those who are at their peak.

From the core players to the experienced veteran players, at least on paper, this Lakers team is very powerful.

Shaq was the first to jump to the ball for the Lakers. After receiving the ball, point guard Van Exel did not intend to stop and engage in a positional battle. Instead, he prepared to take advantage of the starting advantage to speed up the game.

He penetrated the Warriors' defense like an arrow from a string, and used an underhand layup to give the Lakers the lead before the Warriors' defense had even taken shape.

The Warriors are not the kind of team that plays slowly. In fact, they don’t have a particularly reliable inside player in their lineup, so their offense basically relies on fast defense, counterattacks, fast breaks, and accurate outside shots.

Shooting to play, this aspect is really similar to the Warriors team at the peak of the small ball era many years later.

In fact, in the 1990s when games were generally slow, not all teams were slow. At least this Warriors team has been using close to run-and-gun tactics since this era, but their current tactical system is not yet

It was not as complete as it was in the small ball era, and its tactical execution was not as thorough as it was later.

The more important point is that there are too many super insiders in this era. Not to mention the dominance of the four major centers, there are also players like Uncle Mu, Morin, Camby, the roof of the world Sabonis, Divac and so on.

There are unclear outstanding insiders.

Moreover, the new generation of super insiders Duncan, Garnett, and Nowitzki have just entered or are about to enter this league. They are all super insiders across the era. In this era, it is really difficult for the Warriors without strong insiders.

Winning the final victory is because you can indeed achieve pretty good results in the regular season by relying on shooting, but once you get to the playoffs where bayonets are red, facing the defensive rules that are not very beneficial to the outside in this era, just relying on shooting cannot

The saying of winning a championship is indeed true.

The Warriors' sharpest bayonet on the outside is their core player Madman Sprewell. His physical fitness is very good, and the most important thing is that he plays with a rare hardness. This is a bit like Jimmy Butler later.

Holding the basketball like a bomb, he rushed towards the Lakers' inside line.

Even when faced with Shaq's full block, this guy didn't show even a little bit of fear. I admire him for this. Of course, it's definitely not a good idea to confront Shaq head-on. Although

He caused a foul by Shaq, but he was also knocked out by Shaq.

In the subsequent free throws, he was unable to make any free throws. It is probably because his body was hit with too much force and it was difficult to control his hand. The free throw balls rotated several times on the basket and then returned.

Slowly slid out.

However, Shaq's attention was once again unable to concentrate. The Warriors power forward behind him, who was half a head shorter than him, grabbed an offensive rebound. As the whistle blew, Shaq actually got two offensive rebounds in one offensive round.

foul.

I saw Shaq spreading his hands as wide as possible, yelling at the referee, and then turning to look at the surrounding home fans. At this time, the home fans would boo and let out mocking laughter.

Head coach Silver Fox Harris had no choice but to call a timeout. Unexpectedly, Shaq got two fouls in less than a minute after the start. This greatly exceeded everyone's expectations. For those who especially like to follow the game plan

For Harris, the silver fox who arranged the personnel, this was even more of a thing that drove him crazy.

However, he had no choice but to keep Shaq on the bench so that the rest of the game could continue normally. Shaq on the bench was furious, like a crazed lion, and kept shouting.

roared angrily, but his anger was of no use. Instead, it caused other Lakers players around him to fall into a not-so-good mood.

What surprised me was that this time Silver Fox Harris actually put me on the court early, Eddie Jones was moved to the small forward position, Ceballos became the power forward, and Robert Horry

He was actually used as a center forward.

Unexpectedly, today's Silver Fox Harris seemed to have awakened from a big dream and used a small-ball lineup that surpassed this era. But in fact, this was also a small accident. After all, in order to deal with the opponent's Warriors' small-ball lineup,

lineup, if the extremely slow substitute center Campbell is forced to play, then the Warriors will probably get too many outside shooting opportunities. Once a team like the Warriors, which relies on shooting to win, is allowed to find a scoring rhythm, then think about it later.

It will be very difficult to suppress their attack.

Today's Warriors' tactical execution is quite good. The most important thing is that their players' execution is very good. To be more precise, they are very proactive on the court without any hesitation. Once they have a shooting opportunity, they will

Take action immediately. As long as our Lakers' defense is even a step slower, their shots will be empty blue.

In this regard, I focused my main energy on the defensive end. I know that the defensive ability of the Warriors' lineup is very limited, and we have too many players on the field who can score, but if everyone can't guard each other, there is nothing we can do.

The gap has widened.

The player I was playing against was Chris Mullin, who some people call God's left-hand man. He is an off-ball player who is very good at using pick-and-rolls to find shooting opportunities. His playing style is a bit like the Warriors' super shooter Klay later.

.Thompson, because his shooting speed is fast enough and his stability is good, so even if his steps are not as agile as when he was young as he gets older, I am still not that good at guarding him.

Generally speaking, my defensive experience is indeed not rich enough. When facing a pick-and-roll by the Warriors, I may be able to break it by quickly going around, but when facing the opponent's more complicated multiple pick-and-rolls and elevator door tactics,

, due to insufficient tacit understanding between me and other Lakers players, resulting in late defense and sometimes defensive confusion.

This also resulted in the Warriors always being able to get out of the shooting space very easily. Even though I felt that I had put in my best efforts on the defensive end, I still could only watch the opponent hit one shot after another.

This made me slightly frustrated. None of the teams I faced before were able to finish the shot like the Warriors. The scary thing about this kind of team is that when their touch is at a high level, you

There is no way for general defense to have an effect on them.

And on the other hand, the Warriors also have a lot of scoring points, with multiple starting points for holding the ball. Our defense will always make mistakes when facing their complex high-post pick-and-roll tactics, and when the opponent sees us defending

After struggling hard, they will use our weaknesses to attack us more unscrupulously.

In the entire first quarter, we actually allowed the Warriors to score as many as 35 points, but fortunately, our offensive end was not too far behind. Personally speaking, although it didn’t feel as unsolvable as in the previous games, after all,

In several games, the opponents I faced were their substitute players, but this time I faced starters, and I also had some changes mentally.

Even so in the first quarter, I still made 4 of 9 shots and 3 of 5 free throws and scored 11 points. This was already the most points scored by the entire Lakers team. Of course, my style of play did take a little more shots.

And what’s incredible is that I basically played the entire first quarter. What happened to Silver Fox Harris today, allowing me, who only averaged less than 20 minutes per game, to play 11 minutes in the first quarter.

It's just that the performance of my other teammates was still a little bit worse. After the first quarter, the Warriors led us by 3 points.

The following second quarter will be even more bloody, especially when a furious beast that has been locked up and released again is about to show off its power, the entire arena will be shocked by his terrifying and intimidating power.

Shaq went completely crazy in the second quarter. Of course, the Warriors didn't want Shaq to bring the momentum of the entire game to the Lakers, so once Shaq tried to get the ball in the paint, he would be frantically attacked by the opponent.

clip, and Shaq is not the kind of player who will re-pass the ball to the outside, so the Warriors quickly paid several fouls to defend Shaq.

I thought that Shaq, who had trained specifically on free throws before the game, would perform slightly better. What surprised me was that Shaq missed four consecutive free throws when he came up. This made the already angry player

He became even more furious, but anger alone was useless. I even felt that anger would only make his free throws more abnormal, because he could not control the force of his free throws.

When the anger completely enveloped him, the force he used on his hands became more fierce, which also made his free throw shooting rate even more terrible. Shooting and free throws actually require more use of skill, and too much strength will only

Let the hit rate become very bad.
