Reborn My Name Is Kobe

After that, Jessica and I walked towards the home arena of the Jazz together. She said she wanted to shoot baskets with me, and I didn’t stop her from doing so. In fact, shooting training alone is quite boring.

It was really a very happy experience to think about it when Sika practiced with me.

Half an hour later, Jessica and I arrived at the home arena of the Utah Jazz. There were not many players in the arena at this time, but I saw several role players from the Jazz arriving at the arena early in the morning.

During training, it seems that the reason why the Jazz are so strong this season is not only because they have the powerful combination of Utah and Utah, but also because other players have also put in a lot of effort for this. Under Jerry Sloan’s strict management

Under the army, everyone will try their best to win the championship.

Seeing Jessica and I entering the arena, several Jazz players did not look at us at all. They were training very seriously and were not distracted by the surrounding situation at all, at least from the beginning.

From this point of view, our Lakers players are not doing a good enough job. If Shaq can have half the spirit of these Jazz players, we Lakers will probably be invincible.

It's a pity that activating Shaq's desire to win may not be that simple. There are not many opponents in the league who can catch his eye now, but I think he is always a little too high.

I underestimated myself and my opponents, especially the pride that Shaq showed at many times. I think it was a strong obstacle for our Lakers team on their way to the championship.

It's much more fun to have Jessica in my training, and in fact, Jessica's height and athletic ability have the potential to become a professional women's basketball player. She can even touch the basket when she takes off at full strength.

For a girl who has never received formal training, this is simply incredible.

When Jessica is here, she can also do some auxiliary work for me such as passing and picking up the ball. I have regarded her as my shooting coach and started to carry out various shooting training with her cooperation.

.

My shooting training usually includes a warm-up process, and then I will perform shooting training in circles from the inside to the outside at different points, but I do not attach the same importance to the shooting training at different points.

First of all, I will find the points where I need to ensure my shooting percentage most during the game. The first thing I have to do is shooting training at the free throw point. In the usual training, I have enough time to keep my breathing steady and steady.

Smoothly, and let my attention be completely focused on the basket, but my eyes actually don't look at the movements of my hands. I will let my instinctive reaction guide the feeling of my hands, and let the ball pass between my fingers.

Projected everywhere.

Most of the time, my free throw shooting percentage during training can be maintained at above 90%, and many times I can even make dozens of free throws in a row. There is no doubt that although Kobe's palm is relatively small, it is not good for basketball.

The control is just right. A hand that is too big like Shaq's will be detrimental to maintaining the feel of free throws. If ordinary people want to experience this difference, they can use some small basketballs or even volleyballs to shoot.

When your palm is too big, the position of the ball in your hand is not so fixed. If you don't train hard enough, it will be detrimental to maintaining your free throw percentage.

Secondly, I will do some training on my shooting feeling under the basket, but these trainings will not be done too much. The most important point is that when shooting under the basket, the force of the entire body must be relatively smooth. In fact, no matter where you are

When shooting in any way, it is very important to maintain your body and shooting stability.

In a formal game, when you encounter a foul under the basket or some strong physical confrontation, you are likely to lose the balance and stability of your body and shots. At this time, the role of normal training can be reflected. Of course

In addition to shooting training without confrontation, these daily training also include many things such as improving physical fitness and shooting training in situations of confrontation.

At the beginning, Jessica showed great enthusiasm for my training, but as the training progressed, the boring shooting training still made her feel a little bored, and after all, her physical fitness could not compare with mine.

, so after we conducted two-person training for about half an hour, Jessica sat alone on a chair on the sidelines to cheer me on.

I smiled and looked at her waving cheers to me, while continuing to focus on the shooting training in front of me. During today's training, I found that my three-point touch was much worse.

Maybe it’s directly related to my excessive physical exertion in the past two days.

Moreover, my physical fitness today is obviously not as good as yesterday, and I also have some slight soreness in my body. This has never happened before in my previous games. Maybe this is a signal from my body. Today's

The game will definitely be more difficult than any previous one.

There was a back-to-back game away from home against the San Antonio Spurs. At that time, the state of our entire Lakers team was extremely sluggish. However, after all, the Spurs are a bad team this season, and what we have to face today is the league.

The top three strong teams are the Utah Jazz, who can rival the Chicago Bulls.

But I can't give up training just because I have some minor physical problems. No matter what the result of our game against the Jazz today is, this is just an ordinary regular season. For those who aspire to become a superstar and impact

As for me as the championship, I should set my sights

Looking further ahead, if I want to grow and improve faster than other players, I have to work harder than them.

What's more, I saw today that even the ordinary role players of the Jazz are training hard, and how can I just talk about it if I want to achieve higher goals?

After completing a circle of three-point shooting training, I decided to take a break for a while. I put the ball down and walked over to Jessica and sat down.

"My hand doesn't seem to be very good today. Do you think you should take some responsibility?"

I looked at Jessica with a bad smile. Jessica didn't react at first, but then she looked very angry and even opened her hand to hit me.

But I just smiled and held Jessica's hand with my hand, but my face was tightly close to Jessica's face.

"Hmph!"

Just when Jessica and I were about to have a sweet kiss, a voice came from behind us.

"Young people, please pay attention to your personal influence!"

I turned around and saw that this guy was none other than the first one-on-one opponent I encountered after entering Kobe's body, and that was Lakers veteran Byron Scott.

Logically speaking, this guy can be regarded as a meritorious veteran of the Lakers, but in his behavior, he does not show the demeanor that a senior should have at all. He really feels like a bad boy who is disrespectful to his elders.

, maybe people who came from that era would have a bit of ruffianism in their character.

During this period of time, as I got along with the entire Lakers teammates, I discovered that many of their characters are not exactly what they appear on the surface. It seems that there will be people wearing masks at any time, even if they are

NBA players are no exception, but they just don’t know what the real face hidden behind the old boy Byron Scott’s mask looks like.

"I didn't expect you to come so early. It just so happens that my hands are a little itchy today and I can't find a partner to practice with. How about we play a few more balls alone? But don't worry, we won't play 100 balls this time.

So many, this time it will be 21 points, 2 points will be counted as 1 point, 3 points will be counted as 2 points, whoever gets 21 points first will win."

"Why should I accept your challenge? Besides, you are young and energetic, how can an old man like me withstand your torment!"

"Otherwise, I can only shoot from the outside and cannot break into the penalty area to attack. But you have no such restrictions. What do you think?"

I saw Byron Scott hesitate for a long time, and I didn’t know what was going on in his mind, but in the end he agreed. I smiled and gave Jessica a hug to let her take a good look.

See how I deal with this old boy.

Byron Scott has somewhat restrained his arrogance since he lost to me in a one-on-one match last time, and my performance in the regular season recently has been obvious to all. He and Shaq finally

They no longer directly call me a rookie, but I still don't feel the attention and respect they deserve for me.

Of course, this doesn’t bother me. If you want others to respect you in the NBA, you must first have strength. No matter how many people underestimate or even ignore me in the past or now, I will use my own efforts and strength to find them one by one.

Come back to the scene, use your own strength to gain a foothold in the alliance, and prove yourself.

Today's one-on-one duel between Byron Scott and I became quite intense from the beginning. On the one hand, this is because the scores between us in the one-on-one duel this time are relatively small. If we enter the state too slowly, it will be difficult to have a chance to come back.

In addition, this time both of us want to win the game more than last time.

Especially the old boy Scott must have been holding his breath since he lost to me last time. This time he saw me and proposed to fight him without breaking through. In his opinion, I no longer have the most advantageous weapon.

This is a good opportunity to defeat me and regain some breath. After all, he had the upper hand at the beginning of the last duel.

However, how did he know that I have made much progress now compared to that time? At that time, I had just been reborn into Kobe's body and could not control Kobe's body very well, so I entered the game very slowly.

I can't even feel it when shooting.

Now, as I have been practicing shooting regularly during this period, I have already gained greater confidence in my shooting touch. The reason why I dared not break through the paint to challenge him in a one-on-one today is that I have enough confidence.

With such confidence, he defeated him with just shooting and post-ups.

The rule we use in today's one-on-one matchup is an offensive substitution, which means that each player has only one chance to take a shot when attacking, and cannot grab rebounds. Whether they score or not, they must exchange the ball.

Scott has no objection to this. After all, he is definitely at a disadvantage in terms of physical fitness and height, so not being able to grab rebounds seems to be a more favorable rule for him.

I gave the first opportunity to attack directly to Scott. He was not in a hurry to attack after getting the ball. It seemed that he had recognized me after the last one-on-one with me and during this period of watching my game.

His defensive ability is not bad, so it is impossible for him to simply tear apart my defense. On the contrary

It would be a better way to defeat me with experience and rhythm.

To be honest, Byron Scott's dribbling rhythm is very good. Although he doesn't like to use various fancy dribbling in official games, he actually lets it go in singles.

He used his hands and feet and actually performed all kinds of fancy moves in front of me.

However, I did not seriously defend his dribbling, because I knew that no matter how fancy he dribbled, his real purpose was to guide me to shift my center of gravity on the defensive end, but I did the opposite.

, staying the same to cope with all changes, just want to see what kind of offensive and defensive attack he wants to use against me.

When I was guarding him, I leaned back a little to leave him enough room for outside shots. Of course, I wouldn't let him take a three-point shot. After all, the rule states that three points count as two points and two points count as one point.

But as long as he enters the three-point line, I will deliberately give him space to shoot and let him shoot the least efficient large two-point shot.

And I also calculated that Scott would not use a step-back three-point shot like James Harden, so this kind of defense is not a big problem, and if Scott wants to use dribbling to find a breakthrough space

It's not that simple either.

After all, as long as I keep my defensive center of gravity low, with my height and foot speed, it will be difficult for him to break through. It can be said that my progress now is in all aspects, at least I put enough pressure on him defensively from the beginning.

After repeated attempts, Scott finally found that he could not use fancy dribbling to find easy scoring opportunities, and too much dribbling would only continue to consume his physical energy, so in the end he could only choose to use my dribbling.

The defense is relatively lax and he shoots from a long distance mid-range shot.

However, this guy didn't do any shooting warm-up training in advance, and just started shooting big two-point shots, which is a relatively difficult offensive method. Naturally, I am very happy for this situation to happen.

Sure enough, the first attack on Byron Scott ended with a blacksmith, and then it entered my first attack.

Byron Scott didn't make the first shot, and he became a little annoyed. He acted like a frustrated cockfighter, and started to press me closely on the defensive end.

I'm not too panicked. After all, judging from Scott's age and physical reserves, he must be furious when he chooses such a defensive method. I don't need to be too anxious, but I really want to bully his physical fitness and strength.

Given his age, it would definitely not sound good if it was spread out, and there is definitely no way to convince him if he wins like that.

So I simply went head-to-head and defeated him with absolute strength. Only in this way could he be convinced of the defeat. Facing Scott's defense, I also began to show off my dribbling proficiency and body control.

Come with powerful talents.

Back luck, turn forward and then turn back, sudden stop, cross step, in short, I can always control the rhythm of dribbling in my hands, and Scott's personal defense against me is almost always missed, the ball can always be

When he was about to meet him, he was transported in another direction by me.

Scott's defense was so aggressive that I was able to get rid of his defense very easily, but after getting rid of his defense, I couldn't directly rush inside to dunk.

Byron Scott may have thought of this, so he used this desperate personal defense to put pressure on me. Anyway, even if his gambling defense was passed by me, he would only give me an open shot at most.

It's just an opportunity.

But unfortunately, what he didn't expect was that the mid-range pull-up shot was almost a surefire way to score for me who had just done the shooting warm-up training. After the shot, the basketball hit the basket directly in a very low arc in the air.

The sound of the basketball passing through the net is so clear and moving.

I spread my hands and smiled and threw the ball back to Byron Scott. At this time, his face was already a little ugly. It was obvious that he felt even more wrong when he saw my smile.

In the next few attacks, Byron Scott began to use breakthrough methods to hit me, and I did not adopt a particularly high defensive intensity against him. I did not want to directly completely destroy his self-confidence.

It's not a good thing for our entire Lakers team. I actually just wanted to teach him a small lesson.

So on the defensive end, I gave him certain breakthrough and shooting opportunities, but at the end of his final layup, I would slightly interfere. If he can make a shot, he will make it. If he can't, he will not make a shot.

.

But on my offensive end, I will use all my strength. In fact, even if I don't break through to the inside to attack, Byron Scott can't defend me.

After analyzing and studying Jordan's post-up video some time ago, I have initially mastered some basic techniques and timing for post-up play. One of the most important points is that in addition to protecting the ball, there is also the need to time the ball.

Always observe the defensive focus and defensive intentions of the defensive player towards you, and use his changes in focus on the defensive end and changes in rhythm that may occur at any time to defeat him.

Jordan mentioned in one of his interviews that in fact, a very important point in post-ups is to use your back to feel the position of the defensive players and the defensive strategies they adopt against you, so as to make quick decisions in the blink of an eye.

Find the defensive player's flaw in an instant and seize it to hit the opponent.
