Reborn My Name Is Kobe

Maybe it’s because Kobe Bryant’s body has such a strong recovery ability, but also because practicing yoga is indeed a very good way to help restore body flexibility. After about an hour and a half of yoga practice and other flexibility training,

After that, I felt that my body was full of energy again, and I even couldn't help but want to move my hands and feet again.

But if I go to the gym to practice again now, it might be a bit of a waste of time. After all, I asked Jessica to have dinner with me that night. When I was at a loss what to do, I suddenly remembered when I had just been reborn as Kobe.

I have the experience of going to a community golf course not far away.

As those memories continue to be extracted from my mind, I feel that my hands and feet are becoming more and more unwilling to obey my orders. It seems that for me, if I don’t play basketball for a day, my hands will become unbearably itchy.

.

I took out a new ball from the cabinet, opened the door and practiced dribbling while walking. The basketball in my hands was like a small container full of magic. I could transform all kinds of magical things out of it.

.

My home is only a few hundred meters away from the community basketball court. It took me less than ten minutes to walk there while dribbling. When I passed by the community street, curious eyes would pass by me from time to time.

By the way, there are actually other people walking and dribbling at the same time like me.

There are quite a few residents in this community who like to play basketball, including blacks, whites, Chinese, old people, young people, and teenagers. Sometimes you can even see some girls who can skillfully dribble the ball for a while.

But obviously the most eyes are on me. I don’t know if this is because they know that I am an NBA player, but even if they don’t know my identity, with my height and the dribbling skills I have shown along the way,

You should also know that I am a very good golfer.

"Hey buddy, are you interested in joining a group with us?"

"We are missing one person, can you join us?"

"You look pretty good. Do you want to challenge me?"

As soon as I dribbled the ball into the community court, I was questioned by people from several teams. However, I did not respond to these invitations. In fact, I just wanted to find a place to throw the ball for the time being. The level of these ordinary people was far from mine.

If it's too big, even if I beat them, I won't have any sense of accomplishment, and my basketball skills won't be improved at all.

Seeing that I didn't answer them, these guys all shook their heads and gave up, while I walked straight towards the innermost part of the community basketball court.

This community court has a total of 8 full-court basketball courts and 12 individual shooting practice boxes. I walked all the way inside and didn't stop until I found a single shooting box with no one in it.

To be honest, I just want to simply dribble and shoot. I don't care at all about the noisy playing sounds around me. I don't believe that I will encounter a situation like that in Hollywood again.

La.

At that time, Allen Iverson, our No. 1 pick, actually went to a performance court in Hollywood and dressed up as Michael Jordan. The most coincidental thing was that I happened to bump into him and accepted an offer from him.

Pick an invitation.

Of course, the result is obvious. I was directly beaten by Iverson. Although his height is more than ten centimeters shorter than me, and I think my defensive ability is pretty good, but when facing Iverson's offense, I

I had almost no power to fight back because he was too fast, but maybe it was also because I had just possessed Kobe’s physical talent at that time, so my ability to control this body was not very good. If I were given another chance now,

If Iverson were to challenge him, the result might not be the same again.

My shooting practice today was very casual. It was not like the various arrangements I usually have when training in the gym. I just shot wherever I wanted, and I also used layups and dunks from time to time to finish the offense.

.

Just when I was thinking about something, a figure suddenly came out from behind me. I saw him first slam the ball onto the backboard, and then after catching the rebound of the basketball, he flew into the air very lightly, doing a hundred in the air.

He turned around 80 degrees and finally slammed the ball into the basket.

I was shocked by this sudden scene. I have seen many beautiful dunks, but this was the first time I saw such a crisp and light dunk. When I carefully looked at the person who dunked, I realized that this guy was only about 1.3 inches taller than

I am only a few centimeters shorter, but I look very skinny.

I am already relatively thin, with a height of 1.98 meters and a weight of only 190 pounds, while this guy is estimated to be 1.93 meters tall and weighs 160 to 170 pounds.

Although his sense of power in dunking is not strong, he seems to be able to easily escape gravity. The feeling of dunking is very relaxed and freehand. It seems that there are really strong dunkers everywhere in the United States.

ah.

"You can have one too!"

What surprised me even more was that this guy seemed to be very familiar with me and threw the ball in his hand directly towards me. I easily caught the ball from him with my left hand, constantly thinking about myself before.

Have you ever seen this guy?

But no matter whether it is my past life memory, Kobe's past memory, or the people I have met during this period, I can't find the slightest trace of this guy. It seems that I don't know him, but he does.

My possibility is indeed higher. After all, I am now a public figure. I have seen the lake.

People who play with our team can probably recognize me easily.

I gently threw aside the basketball I originally brought, and then slowly stepped back. This meant that I had accepted his invitation, or his challenge, and was ready to compete with him.

Have a dunk showdown here.

To be honest, I have conducted a lot of shooting training during this period, and I have also had several one-on-one games with other people, from Byron Scott at the beginning to Iverson to Shaq, the first two

I had another one-on-one match with Byron Scott the other day.

However, I don’t really have much training in dunking. It was my first time to receive an invitation to duel on dunking. I shook my head slightly and tried my best to squeeze out a smile from the corner of my mouth. Of course, dunking is not a thing for me.

It's such a difficult thing, but if I want to dunk creatively and dunk as effortlessly as this guy did just now, it may not be an easy thing for me.

My eyes were fixed on the basket. For a few seconds, my whole body was frozen in place, but my mind was constantly changing various dunk movements.

However, after a few seconds, I didn't find a dunk action that satisfied me. I simply didn't think about any action and just let my body follow instinct to control the dunk. Although a well-designed dunk can indeed give

It leaves a deep impression on people, but it cannot create a unique sense of beauty.

I gently threw the ball in front of the basket, but someone rushed in from outside the three-point line. The ball first landed heavily and then bounced back up, and I just happened to catch the ball after it bounced off the ground.

I made a back turn and then used my left hand to dunk the ball into the basket.

I didn't prepare for this action in advance. I just let my body follow the instinctive guidance. I tried to keep my mind blank. All the actions were temporary reactions made instantly after my body was flying in the air.

.

But even after the dunk was completed, I had no way of knowing how complete my dunk was, but from the constant exclamations from the people around me, I could still feel that my dunk must have been pretty good.

"Kobe, you are so handsome!" It seemed like he really knew me.

"Um, I'm Kobe, who are you? I think your dunk is pretty good."

"Haha, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Harley. I am a member of the FF91 dunk team. The members of our dunk team come from all over the United States. We have even recently added several players from Europe and Asia. We exist.

There is only one purpose and that is to use our dunk talents to show the most beautiful side of basketball to the world."

"Wow! Although this is the first time I've heard of your dunk team, your dunk just now was really great, especially because your athletic talent is so good, like a bird spreading its wings and flying.

I have to admit that you may have the potential to win the NBA Slam Dunk Contest."

"Hahaha, NBA players are of course the most powerful professional basketball players in the world, but the most powerful dunkers in the world are not necessarily in the NBA. There are many unimaginable dunks in the NBA Slam Dunk Contest.

Missing."

"real?"

"Don't you think the NBA Slam Dunk Contest is a bit lacking in creativity? Although your NBA players have the strongest overall athletic talent, the best jumper in the world is really not in your NBA."

"For example?"

"Have you ever seen a guy under 6-foot-6 touch the top of the backboard?"

"Does such a person exist? Six feet six feet? Does his jump have to be sixty inches?"

"Man, do you know what sixty inches is? Of course it is impossible for anyone to jump to sixty inches, but fifty-five inches can indeed be achieved by someone. Plus his wingspan is about eight inches longer than his height. It is really possible.

When I touched the top edge of the backboard."

"Did any of you record that scene?"

"Of course, if I have the opportunity in the future, I can take him to meet him in person and tell you a little secret. He is an old Laker honey. If he knows that the future star of the Lakers, Kobe Bryant, is looking for him in person, he will definitely

I'm very happy. When the time comes, he may be able to touch the height beyond the top edge of the backboard."

"Okay, even though it sounds incredible, there are more incredible things in the world than just this one thing. By the way, are you guys born with such good bounces? Or is there any special way to train your bounces?"

"You still need to ask us about the secret recipe for jumping training. I think your jumping is enough. Although the absolute jumping height is not particularly scary, your bullet speed and air-staying ability are the fastest among so many dunkers I have ever seen.

Awesome."

"But it still doesn't feel as light as when you jump!"

"That's just because I'm too thin. Players like you who play in the NBA definitely need to gain some weight and muscle. This is why NBA players are unlikely to be the top dunkers, because you NBA players

It is necessary to improve the physical fitness in all aspects, but the professional dunkers in the private sector only need to train their jumping."

"What you said seems to make sense. After all, the official NBA game is not about who can jump and who can dunk. If you don't have enough weight and muscle strength, it will be difficult to move forward."

"Just like your teammate Shaq, don't look at him now. He seems to have gained weight and looks much bulkier. If he had just entered the NBA a few years ago, or even earlier when he was in college, he would have been very scary.

He has good speed and jumping ability, but as a center, he still needs to gain weight and muscles to fight inside."

"It's true, but you don't know how much this guy likes snacks and desserts. Forget it, why don't we practice dunking again?"

In the next half hour, I exchanged dunking experiences with this new dunker named Harley from the FF91 organization. I passed an alley-oop for him, and he passed an alley-oop for me.

To be honest, learning dunking from a guy who specializes in dunking training is quite helpful to me. Especially in the take-off method of some dunks, I learned several new tricks. For some of my previous dunking movements, I can

It greatly shortens my dunk preparation time and reduces the chance of being blocked by the opponent's inside players.

Another very important point is about the stability training of the landing foot after dunking. This is also an area that many players who like dunking easily overlook. In fact, in complex NBA game situations, many injuries often occur.

It comes from some details, among which the landing after dunking is also very knowledgeable.

Many NBA players will hang on the rim for a second or two after dunking. The most important reason is to protect themselves. If they land immediately after dunking, it is easy for the inertia to affect the body.

Losing balance, either falling on the defensive player, or rushing beyond the sideline.

However, in some cases, after dunking, it is impossible to grab the frame with both hands to protect yourself, such as one-handed dunking and many other situations where it is impossible to grab the frame. In these cases, the landing protection action after dunking is very important.

In fact, the most important point is the maintenance and use of the body's core strength. I knew some of these things before, but Harley provided me with some more tips so that I can better mobilize my core strength.

To maintain the body's balance after dunking, thereby further reducing the chance of injury due to dunking.

After that, we each showed some of our best dunk moves to each other. Of course, in the end, I found that my dunk moves were just childish in front of this guy. I was thinking if I could show some of his best dunk moves.

If I learn the difficult dunk action, I will definitely be the winner of this season’s NBA Slam Dunk Contest.

However, dunking is always something that consumes a lot of physical energy. When I felt that I was done exercising, I said goodbye to Harley and left the community basketball court.

In fact, a large crowd of people had gathered around us at this time to watch our dunk performance. When one of us made a very beautiful dunk, there would be bursts of screams from all around.

I squeezed out of the crowd with a smile, and signed autographs for a few guys before I left. In the end, even the basketball I brought with me was signed and given away.

After I got home, I took a cold shower. When I finished taking the shower, Kobe's parents were back.

I had some exchanges with Kobe's father, Joe, about the games over the past two days, and also mentioned that my performance with the Lakers has gotten better and better.

Joe didn't say much, he just encouraged me and said he believed his son would become one of the best players in the world.

I originally wanted to tell him about Jessica, but when the words came to my lips, I swallowed them back. It seemed because Joe said something that asked me to focus more on basketball. As an NBA player, I must

Learn to resist temptation from all sides.

By the way, is Jessica tempted from all aspects?

I laughed, and then told him that I would be able to have my own car in a short time, so I wouldn't have to borrow his car to drive.

Joe just smiled and said that his car is my car and I can drive it whenever I want. I also smiled and said that I will definitely buy a top-notch luxury car for him and my mother in the future.

After that, I went to the gym for relaxation training. Considering that I used a lot of leg muscles when I dunked just now, I carried out targeted relaxation training on my calf and thigh muscles.

However, relaxation training alone is not enough. It is quite good to follow relaxation training with a few sets of less intense strength training. Most of the technical movements in basketball games require force from the legs.

However, dribbling, shooting, dunking, defense, blocking, etc. all require the strength of the leg muscles, and in those extremely high-intensity games, the most vulnerable parts to fatal injuries are often the feet and legs.

, whether it is a relatively minor cramp, a sprained foot, or a very serious ligament injury, or even a ruptured Achilles tendon.

To effectively reduce the probability of these injuries, it is very important to train and maintain leg muscles. As the saying goes, legs age first. If you want to maintain the peak period of your sports career for a longer time, you must

From the beginning, pay special attention to protecting and training your legs and feet.

For me, I have developed a relatively good training habit during this period. For NBA players, regular games and training are essential. Training and games are also a pair of brothers that complement each other. Without any one of them,

Neither works.
