Reborn My Name Is Kobe

Chapter 60: Back to Los Angeles

During the post-game interview with reporters, Shaq, myself, and the coach were not in a very good mood. Especially Shaq, when a reporter asked him what he thought of today's game, he was very impatient and simply said

After a few perfunctory words, he stood up and left.

The reporter then conducted a focused interview with the head coach Silver Fox Harris. However, Silver Fox Harris, an old fox, was almost flawless when answering the reporter's questions. Perhaps it was because he had experienced too many various games before.

, he is able to prepare for almost all the questions that reporters will ask.

I almost didn't listen to their conversation. I just sat there in a daze, still reviewing everything about today's game in my mind. However, in the end I decided to give up and continue doing this because it seemed that it was my turn to answer.

The reporter’s question.

"Mr. Kobe, you performed very tenaciously when the Lakers chased points in the second half today. You were full of passion both on the offensive and defensive ends. Do you think something has happened to your role in the Lakers?"

A change?"

Well, the question raised by this reporter is actually quite sensitive. Especially when the old fox, Silver Fox Harris, is still around, I can't say that I feel that I have the strength to be a starting player, so I should get it.

More playing time and a more important tactical position. If I really say this, Silver Fox Harris will have to cut my playing time to less than 10 minutes.

"This is a very good question! But before I answer your question, I hope everyone can understand one thing, that is, the most important thing to me is not the data or performance on the field.

, My biggest concern is always to win, and in order to win, all our Lakers players and staff need to make great efforts. Some people may make certain sacrifices, but no matter their performance on the court is

Good or bad, I believe they have put in all their efforts, especially in today's game we are very hopeful that we can get back, so for me, I really feel proud that I can be in such a great team.

Feel lucky to play ball.”

After I finished speaking, I hurriedly left the interview room. In any case, I didn't have enough energy to deal with the entanglement of these reporters at this time, so it was actually a good strategy to say something as specious as possible.

I called Jessica and asked her to wait for me in front of the arena. I will go back to Los Angeles with Jessica tonight. Fortunately, the team is only strict in flight management before the game. As for the end of the game

After that, players can get relatively more free time, as long as you don't miss the next training or game.

When I saw Jessica again, I took a deep breath. Even though it was already the end of November, I had just finished a fierce competition and my whole body was as hot as if it was on fire.

piping hot.

The metabolism of our athletes is already relatively fast. After such a fierce competition, I should have found a place to take a cold shower. Cold compresses can reduce muscle soreness and better protect joints, but I am still going to do it first.

Jessica and I went to find a place to have dinner and then think about taking a cold shower.

Jessica and I can choose to return to Los Angeles overnight tonight, or we can choose to stay one more night in Salt Lake City, Utah, and wait until tomorrow morning to fly to Los Angeles. Anyway, our next game is against the San Antonio Spurs.

It will be held at the Lakers' home court, which means that I can freely arrange my time tomorrow.

Jessica rushed into my arms, and I directly lifted her up high with both hands, and then spun her around a few times. She let out several loud shouts, which attracted the crowds around to turn their attention to us.

I quickly put Jessica down, mainly because I was afraid of attracting those annoying paparazzi.

In the end, Jessica decided that we would go back to Los Angeles overnight tonight. She said that the feeling of staying at home was still many times better than staying in a hotel. In fact, I felt the same way. At the beginning of the previous season, I really felt

Some people were not used to sleeping on hotel beds, but I gradually got used to it and it didn't have much of an impact.

"Jessica, if we were to buy a new mansion in the future, which one would you want most? The one with mountains, water and scenery, the one with vast grassland where animals can graze, or the one with vast grassland where animals can graze.

It’s the kind of garden that is constructed through exquisite carvings.”

"Well, I really haven't thought about this, but it's a bit too far-fetched for us to think about it now. If I have to choose, what I want more is a house with a wide enough grassland. I can

Raise some cattle, sheep and horses, lie on the grass and bask in the sun, or you can choose to plant some big trees and flowers of your choice.”

"Can you even try being a cowgirl?" I asked.

"By the way, speaking of cowboys, there are really a lot of things that don't make sense in the cowboy town we went to this afternoon. If we come here again next time, we must go and see it again."

"You said that when you were young, your father took you to explore a cowboy town near Las Vegas. There was a stone monument there that was exactly the same as the one in the cowboy town here. But so much time has passed. You

Is there really no deviation in memory? I’m not doubting what you said, I just want you to think back carefully about the scene at that time. After all, our brains often make some confusing decisions.

Confusing our own behavior.”

"Well, your suspicion is actually very reasonable, but I am very sure about this memory of mine. Maybe this memory is really weird, because it is too clear, compared to other memories from my childhood.

As far as my memory is concerned, this memory is completely different from what happened so many years ago, so I am not sure. After all, after so many incredible things happened, even if someone told me that a mysterious force was in a certain place,

I wouldn't be surprised if my memory was secretly tampered with at some point."

"Let's not think about this matter. Some things that have no answers yet will not be answered no matter how much we think about them. When we slowly find more clues, it will be like a jigsaw puzzle.

When we find enough puzzle pieces, we can slowly unravel what the pattern really looks like."

"Well, I really want to go have a drink so that I can forget all these things."

"Yes, it would be great if Salt Lake City had an insect restaurant like San Francisco's, but there may not be more than three insect restaurants of that level in the United States now."

"Insects, these scary-looking little things may not have thought that one day they would become a dish on our human diet."

"In fact, people in many places around the world eat various insects. After all, many types of insects have nutritional value that far exceeds that of other meats of the same weight. Moreover, their numbers are huge and they reproduce rapidly. Maybe one day in the future,

Humans really do use insects as one of their main food sources."

"If that day comes, I just hope the chefs can be half as good as the chefs at that insect restaurant. I would be willing to eat bugs for three meals a day."

After speaking, Jessica showed a bright smile, and we actually didn’t take a taxi, but walked while enjoying the night view of Salt Lake City.

How to describe the difference between the night views of Salt Lake City and San Francisco? One can make you feel the magic of nature's creations, and the other can surprise you with the rapid progress of human civilization.

In San Francisco you can see all kinds of lights and neon lights, but in Salt Lake City, a place on the plateau that is much closer to the sky, the starry sky is so beautiful. I remember we looked up at it last night.

The starry sky above Salt Lake City was also impressed by the beautiful and gorgeous Milky Way across the night sky.

In the end, Jessica and I did not choose a big hotel or a more luxurious restaurant, but found a small restaurant that looked warmer. This is a couple restaurant with a very elegant design. When Jessica and I entered

Later you will find that most of the people who come to dine are young couples.

Jessica and I walked in holding hands like an ordinary couple, but because the overall height of this small store is relatively limited, it seemed crowded for me, who is taller, to walk inside.

When passing several doorways, I even had to lower my head to pass smoothly.

And not many of the young couples around seemed to pay attention to me. Jessica and I walked to the very back of the store before we found an empty seat. The business of this store looked really good.

of.

The reason why I chose this small shop was actually Jessica's decision. She said that choosing this kind of small shop has a more romantic atmosphere. In fact, I don't know much about romance. In my previous life,

I also seem to have a relatively big shortcoming in terms of emotional intelligence, especially when it comes to making girls happy. I don't seem to have any talent at all.

And I was not a rich and handsome person in my previous life, so naturally I didn’t have any good luck in love. However, now that I have been reborn as Kobe, can I be regarded as a comeback? But when I become a rich, handsome and handsome man, my emotional intelligence seems to have also improved.

It doesn’t improve much!

Of course, things like emotional intelligence may need to be cultivated. Maybe after being with Jessica for a long time, my talents in this area can be improved to a certain extent.

This small shop is actually just a very ordinary couple's shop, but it can be seen that they have put some effort into creating an atmosphere, which is why they are able to attract so many couples to come here specifically to eat.

Maybe it was because she was too tired today, but she didn't seem to have much appetite. Jessica seemed to have a big appetite, and she could even eat more than she did in the insect restaurant yesterday.

Seeing Jessica devouring her food, the glutton in my stomach seemed to be awakened, so I started to eat voraciously. As a result, after eating, I discovered that the fundamental reason why this small shop is doing so well is because of them.

The dishes are indeed delicious, and the more you eat, the more delicious they become.

At first I just wanted to eat casually, but in the end I had dinner for three people, and Jessica also ate a lot. After eating, I felt a little regretful. If I am always so undisciplined, it will be difficult to maintain my weight.

I won’t lose control. Of course, the occasional meal or two will not affect my competitive state. In front of beautiful people, delicious wine and delicious food, it’s not surprising that I temporarily lost my ability to control myself, isn’t it?

After dinner, Jessica and I went shopping in Salt Lake City. We each bought some clothes and shoes that we liked. I also specially selected a platinum necklace for Jessica. When she wore that necklace

After that, I couldn't help but marvel at how beautiful it was, like I came out of a fairy tale.

Like a princess.

At about 11 o'clock in the evening, Jessica and I boarded the plane to Los Angeles. Soon Jessica and I fell asleep on the seat holding hands.

When I'm particularly tired, I usually don't have too many dreams when I sleep, and this time was no exception, but the quality of sleep with such sweet dreams is usually relatively high.

When Jessica and I returned to Los Angeles, we went directly to Jessica's house. Because we had already established a relationship with Jessica, I didn't need to sleep on the sofa at her house anymore.

Originally, Jessica wanted me to accompany her to watch an action movie, but I really wanted to sleep a little too much, so I had no choice but to refuse the beauty’s invitation. In fact, I didn’t get much sleep during those few hours on the plane.

It is far from enough to restore the physical energy I have consumed in the past two days. You must know that I have been training for so long before today’s game against the Jazz, so I fell asleep as soon as I lay in bed.

among.

Strange to say, I had a very strange dream this night. It was an endless prairie, and I was a rider with his upper body naked and covered with various strange tattoos. A horse looked like

Some stocky horses were galloping beneath me, and they took me across the endless prairie and across a very shallow stream, watching other wild horses and bison galloping past me.

I slowly woke up from my sleep amidst Jessica's calls. At this time, I found that Jessica was wearing a sexy little suspender pajamas and looked particularly attractive.

My sleepiness was instantly wiped out by Jessica, and I simply threw her down under the quilt.

An hour later, I left Jessica's house. After a warm conversation with Jessica, I remembered that I hadn't been back to my home for a long time, so I made an appointment with Jessica to go out for another drink in the evening.

Drive to your home.

On the way home, my agent called me and told me that as I have been getting better and better recently, there are many different sponsors who want to sign endorsement contracts with me, but he told me not to get too carried away.

I'm anxious to sign a contract with them, because judging from my current progress, a truly valuable contract will come to my door soon.

I'm not particularly anxious anyway, so I told my agent that I trust his professional judgment, and I just want to play well. As for those various big-name endorsement contracts, I believe that when the time comes, I

I will make my own choice.

When I got home, I found that Kobe's parents were not at home, so I simply made some omelettes and salad, ate a meal, and then immersed myself in the gym at home.

I have forgotten the last time I did physical training, but it is unlikely that I will do a particularly high-intensity strength training today. The physical exertion of these two days has put a lot of pressure on my body, although

Kobe's body is still very young and has a fast enough recovery speed. However, in order not to leave hidden dangers for his future career, I decided to give priority to muscle recovery training.

After all, there are still many back-to-back games in this season. Not long ago, I took a look at our Lakers game schedule this season and found that there are actually more than ten back-to-back games. In other words, like today

There will be many more difficult games like this.

In order to adapt to this kind of intensity of the game, not only do players need to be fully prepared physically, but they also need to be mentally prepared accordingly. But what makes me feel strange is that I am the one who just entered the league not long ago.

There are so many rookie players, so why are the Lakers veteran players who have been playing in the league for several years or even more than ten years the ones who have problems?

Judging from the way they trained before today's game and the mental and physical state they showed in the first half, they must have gone crazy late last night. I hope they can learn from this experience, at least in back-to-back games in the future.

Respect your opponent and your own body, and don't make it so tiring.

After doing some simple stretching exercises, I turned on the small TV in the fitness room. I played a video introducing yoga training while following the training.

In fact, Kobe's body flexibility talent is really terrifying. If the key joints of the body can be trained in a targeted manner, the damage to the body caused by high-intensity games can be greatly reduced.

Everything in this world is rewarded only by giving, and for athletes, what they have to pay is often their own health, because the intensity of most competitive sports far exceeds normal human exercise.

Within the scope of fitness, too intense exercise will inevitably cause certain damage to the athlete's body.

For basketball players, these injuries increase with the accumulation of game time. Some physical injuries are even irreversible and cannot be recovered, so the prevention of sports injuries is very important.

matter.

After my observation and understanding during this period, various teams in this era still do not do enough to protect the player's body, but with future memories, I naturally need to use more advanced sports and health science in the future to protect Kobe's body.

Have a body full of talents and keep it in peak condition for as long as possible.
