Reborn My Name Is Kobe

Jessica and I stayed in the Lakers' tactical analysis room until about three o'clock. During this process, Jessica and I repeatedly studied and discussed the video of our Lakers' last game against the Jazz.

, to be honest, Jessica is really talented in basketball, especially her observation skills are very good. When she is around, she can always bring up some things that are easily overlooked by me, and she brings them up.

These valuable comments have been of great help to me.

After three o'clock, Jessica and I came to the court again, and she also served as my temporary shooting coach to assist me in shooting training. Of course, sometimes I would also become her shooting coach. Anyway, I would practice for a while.

Shoot and then she practices shooting for a while.

In order to make the shooting training more interesting and lively, we combined shooting and playing games. The rules of the game were that if Jessica made one goal, I would make two. We would compete to see who made the goal.

There are more balls, and then the player shoots at different shooting points on the field, and the loser will be punished.

If I lose, I have to do a hundred push-ups at once, and if Jessica loses, she has to kiss me, haha. Of course, this punishment is obviously my idea.

This can also give me the motivation to score more goals, but I really can’t underestimate Jessica’s shooting level, especially if she scores one goal, it means I score two goals.

, I really may not be able to beat her.

The results of our first shooting competition came down, and I actually lost to Jessica. Overall, Jessica’s fixed-point shooting percentage was around 40%, while my shooting percentage did not exceed 80%.

So in the end, I lost to her and had to accept the punishment and do push-ups.

Standard push-ups are a pediatric exercise for me, but it is actually quite tiring to do a hundred standard push-ups in a row, especially when you are doing it, you may not feel anything, but after you finish it

Later, when your muscles relax, you will slowly feel soreness coming over you.

During my second shooting game with Jessica, I started to become more focused because I really wanted to win this game, so when Jessica almost shot close to 45%, I

I felt the pressure was unprecedentedly huge, even greater than when I had to take a key shot at the last moment of the game.

I worked hard to calm down my breathing, then closed my eyes first, and then slowly focused my attention on that point. When my breathing completely calmed down, the feeling of shooting became more stable.

.

This time I withstood the pressure and slowly threw the balls one after another, and then watched the basketballs fall into the basket one after another. This feeling is really wonderful.

When Jessica saw me hitting consecutive shots, she started to look surprised on her face, and then she started to interfere with me in various ways, such as telling some jokes or other things to attract my attention.

At the beginning, I was really affected by her interference strategy, but when I closed my eyes again, my mind suddenly became empty, and I let all my thoughts slowly disappear.

Being cleared, shooting became a sport that relied entirely on my own instincts and muscle memory, and I tried hard to convince myself that I could make every shot.

And the result also satisfied me. After completely discarding all external interference, and after my mind was completely cleared, all shooting movements completely followed the body's original natural conditioned reflex, which made everything more exciting.

Make it simple.

This is also an experience I have when I play. When I enter this state of selflessness, when I am completely undisturbed by factors off the court or even on the court, when I concentrate my attention wholeheartedly.

When I was playing basketball, everything seemed to become simpler, and I could quickly enter a state similar to my own realm.

At this time, everything around me became clearer and slower. I didn’t need to use my brain to think about anything. Instinct seemed to be able to make the most correct choice in the fastest time. This is indeed a thing for us humans.

The incredible ability he possesses is also a practice that a top athlete must undergo, a state of selflessness.

Of course, this kind of state cannot be entered just by wanting to enter it. Most of the time, our emotions will be affected by various factors off the court or on the court, whether it is teammates, opponents, coaches, or the audience outside the court, or even yesterday.

and today’s physical and mental state, everything will affect our state unconsciously.

It is almost impossible to completely get rid of these influences. Many times our brains or our emotions are not under our control. We can only try to prevent ourselves from being affected by these influences. We can use

Some relatively positive psychological hints can help you get into a better state of competition, but no one can guarantee that these psychological hints will work every time.

Therefore, we cannot rely on this good state that may disappear at any time. We must work harder to obtain better gains in basic training. All efforts in basketball can be harvested, whether it is shooting, dribbling, or receiving.

Ball, jumping, running, or learning tactics, watching game videos, learning and imitating basketball skills, as long as you are willing to invest more time and energy than others, you will definitely gain more and grow more than others.

.

Not in this world

Everything can be made up for by hard work, and although talent is very important in the sport of basketball, most people do not work hard enough to compete for talent, and for players who can enter the NBA,

In other words, the talent of the vast majority of players is above the standard, which means that if you want to survive in the extremely competitive NBA, you must work harder than other players with the same talent as you.

And many people are working hard, whether they are good people or not good enough. Talents who can sweep the league without much effort like Shaq are almost rare, so if your talent is not enough to go far beyond

Other NBA players, please work hard enough.

However, the direction of efforts is also a very important issue. What kind of efforts are not in vain? Putting in the same efforts does not mean there will be the same gains. After all, everyone's areas of expertise are still different. This is not only

It’s just a difference in talent, it should be considered more of a difference in talent.

No one is perfect. A super inside ruler like Shaq will also have many flaws. For example, he feels very bad at free throws. For example, his shooting talent is very poor. For example, his self-discipline is also very poor. In many cases, he cannot

Control your emotions.

There are also some players who have special talents. For example, some players with poor athletic ability may be very accurate in three-pointers and mid-range shots. Some players with poor offensive ability have very good defensive awareness and defensive talent, and some players may

They have extremely high basketball IQs, but their athletic talents are lacking.

So if you want to survive in the NBA, the most important thing is to use your strengths and avoid weaknesses or make up for the shortcomings as much as possible. In fact, in a real game, everyone does not need to be proficient in every aspect.

Because the game is played by five people on the court at the same time, it means that everyone will have a division of labor, so you are not better than one person doing all the work of five people. You can just be a catcher and shooter as long as your shooting is particularly accurate.

, if you have particularly good passing awareness and accuracy, you can consider being the brains of the team to organize the offense. If you have strong rebound protection or frame protection capabilities, you can become the team's inside gate and rebound protector.

Or, if you are particularly good at defense or taking out the ball, then you can become a defensive spearhead to deal with the opponent's strongest offensive point on the field.

In short, you should first find the aspect where you are most competitive, and do your best to expand that advantage infinitely, instead of investing your limited energy in some areas that you are not so good at.

Of course, there is an exception, that is, when your areas of strength have almost reached their extremes and it is difficult to make further progress through hard work, then you can consider investing some energy to make up for your areas of weakness.

However, such players are generally the core players of the team, all-stars or even superstars, just like players like Jordan or James. For example, Jordan should be said to be top-notch in all aspects, but in his career

Jordan's three-point shooting ability was very limited in the first half. When he has almost reached the ceiling in other aspects, it will be difficult to improve if he puts more energy into training. And if Jordan puts in the effort to practice the three-point shot.

If he comes out, it will be of great help to him and the entire team.

The same applies to epoch-making stars like LeBron James. After he has become very proficient in breakthroughs and passing in the early stage, he needs to improve his shooting ability more, because strong breakthroughs based on his physical fitness

The power of inside play will eventually decrease as he ages, so when he enters the later stages of his career, he will focus more on improving his shooting ability. Only when his shooting ability improves will he truly become an all-rounder.

warrior.

Speaking of guys like Shaq, if he can work harder to improve his free throw shooting, then his influence in the game will be further improved, and it doesn't matter how high his free throw shooting percentage is.

High, but at least the coach who likes Popovich to use shark-cutting tactics should pay a price, so that he does not dare to use such a bad way of playing the shark-cutting tactic at critical moments in the game.

However, for me now, there is no optimal solution, because at this time I am not considered top-notch in almost any field, so I must spread my energy and conduct comprehensive training. For a player like me

Not only do I need to work hard on the offensive end, defense and organization are also aspects that I need to work hard to improve. Basketball IQ and tactical understanding are also equally important. If one day in the future my abilities in certain aspects reach the top,

Then I might relax the training on them a little bit, but right now I am not qualified to say relax on any aspect of training.

The training time does fly by very quickly. I have felt like this more than once. Especially when Jessica is by my side to train with me, I feel that one hour seems like half an hour. I don’t know why.

Suddenly, the stadium was filled with people, including players and spectators entering the stadium one after another.

Our Lakers head coach, Silver Fox Harris, arrived quite early today. He seemed to be having a long discussion with his assistant. Judging from his expression, he was full of confidence in today's game and seemed not to be stressed at all.

No.

But speaking of which, the opponent we have to face today at home is the San Antonio Spurs, a weak team. In fact, their original lineup this season is not without any combat effectiveness. Their lineup has many highlights of human movies in their peak and late stages.

Minick Wilkins, and Admiral David Robinson who is in his prime, but in order to select the No. 1 pick next year, in order to select Tim Duncan, the No. 1 pick they can use for twenty years in the future, this season they are

Deliberately messed up, David Robinson has been in a state of being refrigerated and unable to play almost this season.

When the referee blew the whistle to start the game, Shaq easily jumped the ball. After Eddie Jones got the ball, he passed it directly to the fast-moving Shaq. Shaq easily dunked with both hands to end the first game.

An offense, it seems that Shaq entered the state very quickly today, full of desire to kill.

The Spurs released the ball calmly. Their star player Dominic Wilkins took the ball at a 45-degree angle, but he seemed a little hesitant. It seemed that no other teammates were planning to come up and cooperate with him.

Not even the most basic pick-and-roll, the Spurs players were lazily on the court as if they hadn't had enough to eat.

Popovich stood on the sidelines with a smirk on his face, completely indifferent to the lazy performance of the Spurs players on the court.

Of course, maybe this was Popovich's default or even instruction. For a game that is destined to be lost, it is normal for the Spurs players to lose their spirits. Besides, there are some veterans in the Spurs team.

Or some players who have just signed a contract don't have much motivation to fight and just want to finish every game safely and get their wages.

Dominique Wilkins held the ball for too long. Lakers defenders Van Exel and Eddie Jones immediately double-teamed him. Wilkins was tripped by Eddie Jones in the panic.

, but the referee did not call a foul, Van Exel directly intercepted the ball, and then launched a fast break on his own.

The Spurs only had three players returning to defense. Wilkins was still lying on the ground, and their center had no intention of returning to defense. When Van Exel had easily scored the ball,

The Spurs center still stayed in the Lakers' penalty area and did not come out.

When the Spurs backcourt saw their center still standing in the Lakers' penalty area, they wanted to launch a quick attack to attack the Lakers inside. However, his long pass seemed not strong enough. The pass came from the Spurs backcourt.

It obviously requires a lot of strength to reach the front court, but the ball was easily intercepted by Shaq who was going forward.

Shaq didn't want to pass the ball out. He once again showed his flexible body and skillful dribbling skills, and started dribbling quickly from the Lakers' half to the Spurs' half.

However, Shaq's fast break dribbling alone did not end successfully this time. Spurs players stood on his offensive line, one person stretched out two hands and hugged Shaq tightly, preventing him from fully charging up.

.

Shaq threw the ball to the referee with a look of helplessness. As a result, when the free throw came, Shaq looked a little different from usual. First of all, he seemed very relaxed this time. Second, he almost didn't aim at the two free throws.

He threw the ball, but the result was still two hollow hits. You should know that usually, even if he aimed for a long time and then threw out, he would probably hit the iron. But today was not the best. A casual throw ended up with two hollow hits. It seems that Shaq's game state today

It's really good.

The feel is amazing. If it comes, you can't stop it. But if the feel doesn't come, no matter how hard you try, you won't be able to score.

The Spurs were quickly beaten to a 10-0 start by the Lakers, and Popovich only called a symbolic timeout. I looked specifically at the Spurs and found that Popovich

He didn't say anything at all, he just called a timeout.

And our Lakers side seems to have nothing to say. After experiencing the Jazz game on the last occasion, everyone is actually holding a breath in their stomachs. It just so happens that they can vent their anger when they encounter the Spurs, an underdog.

So everyone got into the state quite quickly today.

After returning from the timeout, the Spurs' mental state improved slightly. At least they started to run a little bit on the court. On the Lakers' side, because the opponent almost didn't run just now, there was almost no intensity in defense. When the Spurs ran out continuously

After two open shots and two three-pointers, the Lakers began to pay a little more attention to defending the perimeter.

Shaq still gets what he wants in the paint. As long as he catches the ball, the Spurs will basically not double-team. Anyway, if their center can defend him, he can defend it. It doesn't matter if he can't. Shaq becomes more and more addicted to playing.

If the hook shot fails, he will continue to grab offensive rebounds until he scores.

Even if the Spurs center was stuck on the backboard, Shaq would still easily pick it off from behind. After a few moments, the Spurs center was about to be beaten. His face was obviously a little confused, and he started to make defensive moves.

It got bigger.

And Shaq is an unforgiving guy. When he saw that the Spurs center was easy to bully, he kept bullying him. As a result, the Spurs center couldn't stand it anymore. When Shaq made a provocative move towards the Spurs center after dunking,

The Spurs center went up and punched Shaq in the face.

Now the whole scene became chaotic, and the referee and players quickly stepped forward to separate the two sides, so as to prevent the situation from deteriorating further.

In the end, the Spurs center was ejected directly, Shaq was also substituted, the Lakers got a technical foul and the game continued.
