Reborn My Name Is Kobe

In the next half hour, I played several more games with Eddie Jones and the others, and the result was that I was able to win relatively easily every time. In fact, I felt that Eddie Jones did not fully exert his strength, as if he was deliberately letting go.

It seemed to be touching me. I didn’t feel it when I was playing, but I felt this way after it was over.

After the game, the shooting coach also commented on our respective shot selections. He was quite satisfied with my shooting progress at first, but later he also mentioned that sometimes my shot selection is not particularly good, like

He likes to forcefully shoot against the defense of several people.

Of course, in the end, he had to admit that although my shot selection is sometimes not good, I can still make many difficult shots. Other players may not have a better shooting percentage than me when they are open.

The shot is higher when I shoot, so no matter what, as long as I feel the time is right and I think I should take the shot, then I will take the shot.

Of course, in fact, my shooting movements are not perfect, especially because my physical strength is not very strong at this time, so I need to spend more time in the gym and work hard to strengthen my whole body muscles.

Become more balanced.

At this time, the time has come to around 5:30, and Eddie Jones and the others are already preparing to leave. After all, they have to fly to Philadelphia in the evening. It is also time to have something to eat, but I am not prepared so early.

After leaving the arena, I have to do shooting training for at least half an hour to an hour before I leave.

"I heard that you don't plan to fly to Philadelphia with us on the team's special plane. Is there something wrong?"

Eddie Jones asked me before leaving.

"What should I say? Actually, it's mainly because I want to spend more time with my girlfriend, hehe."

I was a little embarrassed and scratched my head to prevent my smile from looking too embarrassing.

"Well, I really envy you. It would be great if I could do the same."

"Well, I know it's not good to be like this, but I just hope that I can spend a little more time with her. In the future, I may need to stay longer in the basketball gym for training. I just hope that I can spend more time with her.

Being able to cherish everything I have right now.”

Eddie Jones smiled and patted me on the shoulder, showing an understanding expression, and then left Staples Center.

At this time, I was the only one left in the Staples Arena who was still practicing basketball. Sometimes I really liked the feeling of practicing alone, as if I had entered a kind of basketball training that only belongs to

In my own world, all other things in the world have become unimportant. I only need to focus on doing the things in my hands well.

In fact, Kobe and I are very similar in this regard. We both like to focus all our attention on one point, at least when I am playing, I will try my best to isolate all off-court things and other worries.

Focus only on the basketball itself and enjoy the wonderful feeling produced by every basketball shot.

I have all the memories of Kobe Bryant's childhood. Although they are sometimes incomplete and intermittent, I can still feel their true appearance deep in my heart.

There are some fragments deep in my memory. It seems to be when Kobe was very young. The sound he made when the first basketball he touched fell to the ground was like a kind of beautiful music. It was so

Touching, he gently stroked the pebble-like surface of the basketball with his little hands, feeling its wonderful texture, and even reluctant to slap it with his hands. His love for basketball originally originated from the first experience with basketball in his childhood.

An encounter is the most beautiful first love for basketball, a moment that can be remembered for a lifetime.

When I saw this memory of Kobe, tears would moisten my eyes unconsciously. When I thought about Kobe's unusual loneliness in his childhood, an inexplicable emotion came to my mind. At this moment, I suddenly understood the connection between Kobe and basketball.

How strong this bond between us is, and I deeply understand why my personality has changed a lot after I have the body of Kobe, and why I also have the same kind of personality as soon as I get a basketball.

The feeling of rapid heartbeat.

It turns out that all of this is condensed in every cell of this body. They all have their own memories and love for basketball. I want to work hard to shape them, and they are also working hard to shape me. At this moment, I

He lowered his head silently, saying deep down to himself that he would never let down the original owner of this body.

If one day Kobe's soul returns to this body, I hope he won't be disappointed. I hope he can be proud of my achievements. I don't know what it will be like if that day comes, at least in the future.

I've had opportunities before, and that's enough for me!

"Tick tock."

"Tick tock."

"Tick tock."

The sound of a basketball racket hitting the ground is so clear and moving, just like a piece of pure music. If you really experience it with your heart, you will understand that sometimes it can really talk to you.

It is not just an inanimate object, it is your good friend and a powerful existence. As long as you sincerely believe in it and give everything you have, it will not abandon you.

You will be disappointed.

Maybe the people you trust will let you down, maybe the people you love will let you down, maybe you yourself will sometimes let you down, but basketball will not, all the efforts you put in, every drop of sweat you shed will

Your efforts will not be in vain, they will always bring you rewards and guide you towards a bright future.

In fact, my training mode and many training habits come from Kobe's memory, and then add some of my own understanding and guidance from the shooting coach, and finally form a training mode after synthesis, maybe it is not

It must be the best training method, but it is definitely the one that I think is most suitable for me now and the one that makes me feel the most comfortable while training.

I will conduct shooting training from the inside out, first shooting under the blue background, and after shooting dozens of balls from each distance, I will take a step back, and then shoot dozens of balls from this position.

After that, take a step back, and in this process continue to improve the feeling of your shooting, until finally you can slowly find the best shooting feeling.

Facts have proved that this is a pretty good training mode. Once I confirm this training mode, I should follow this mode in every subsequent training. Of course, my training is not static.

I will also follow the guidance of my body. I will do what it tells me to do. For example, if it tells me to shoot more jump shots, then I will shoot more jump shots. It tells me to do it.

If I practice three-pointers, I will practice three-pointers. It will ask me to meditate, and I will meditate. It will tell me that it is very tired, and then I will probably find a place to rest and take a nap.

One sleep.

In short, I will let my body take the decision. Based on the existing training habits, I will change my training process in real time according to the different feelings of my body during each training.

In theory, any training is useful, but after all, my energy and physical strength are limited, so I have to find a balance point in training to balance my investment in different projects. This process is actually not that easy.

, sometimes I am too obsessed with a certain training item and cannot fully convince myself to end the training before I have perfected this item.

But I really have to work hard to convince myself. I must have the willpower to know when to stop for a moment, use my brain to think about how far my training has progressed, and think about what other details are worthy of me.

Research and adjust.

When I train - watch videos - train - compete - train, training is actually just one of the links. It is an important link for my body to be able to turn some ideas in my brain into actual muscle memory. It is

Extremely important and irreplaceable, but not the only irreplaceable part.

Some people may think that it is not difficult to learn to imitate a person's habits and actions by watching video tapes, but this is often the case in this world. The so-called saying is easier said than done without experiencing this process personally.

It is difficult for people to truly understand how difficult and tortuous this process is.

Because imitation is never the goal, imitation is just a means. It is a means for you to learn from people who are better than you in some aspects. This is a shortcut, but sometimes it is also a trap.

Why do you say that? You must understand that you cannot learn everyone's most powerful moves. After all, everyone's physical talents and learning abilities are different. Sometimes personal preferences will also become a very important reference factor.

It's like your talent and learning ability are enough for you to learn that particularly powerful trick, but if you just don't like this trick, then you are unlikely to be able to learn it well.

If you particularly like a certain move, but your talent and learning ability are not enough, it will also be difficult for you to learn this move well just by imitating it.

So I can't study blindly. I need to use video tapes and my own independent thinking to find out what I need to learn most at this stage of my career.

For example, some of the most basic technical movements, or some of the most basic defensive details, or your body language when attacking, and other details that are easy for rookies to overlook, in fact, you need to spend a certain amount of time to improve them.

As the saying goes, the devil is hidden in the details. If you can invest more energy in these details, then you will have a good idea of ​​your own game, you will know what you can do, and when the opportunity comes

When the time comes, you will go all out to realize your talents and strengths.

Time still passed very quickly. About half an hour passed after I voted for almost three rounds. Then I went back to the locker room to take a cold shower and do some stretching exercises. It was almost seven o'clock.

It's time.

At this time, I remembered the ringtone of my cell phone, and I saw it was Jessica calling.

I told her that I had completed the training and would drive to the airport to meet her soon. During the phone call, I heard her tone was a little urgent, as if she had made some important discovery, but the mobile phone signal was not special.

Okay, so I asked her to wait until I got to the airport to tell me the details.

Half an hour later, Jessica and I met in the airport building. There was a trace of blush on her face, and she looked really beautiful.

I walked up to her and hugged her tightly, kissed her gently on the forehead, and then we walked towards the ticket gate.

"From your tone on the phone, it sounds like you have made some important discovery. Did you discover some important secrets when you were summarizing the contents of our previous video tapes?"

"I did make some important discoveries, but I didn't discover them while summarizing the video tapes we watched before. In fact, I don't want to touch these tapes anymore, especially when I am alone and I don't dare to watch them.

To re-summarize the contents of these tapes, we still have to wait until after you finish playing this game, and we will take time to look at it."

"I also hope that I can have time after this game. After this game with the Philadelphia 76ers, we have to fly to Boston the next day to play a game with the Celtics. God knows why there are back-to-back games.

There were so many games, I forgot if this was the third or fourth time back-to-back this season."

"Well, back-to-back games are indeed very difficult. The last time you played in Salt Lake City was like this. So after tonight's game, you must have a good rest and try to recover as much physical fitness as possible to avoid tomorrow's game.

It will be even more difficult, and now that you are already a starter for the Lakers and your playing time has increased a lot, back-to-back games will probably be very painful."

"Forget it, let's not talk about this. What is coming will eventually come. Other teams in the league will also face many back-to-back games. This is part of the regular season. I should work hard to learn to adapt to all this.

By the way, what did you discover that was particularly important?"

"It's about Sir Faustin's manor. I already have some brand-new information about it, information that we haven't been able to find before."

"Wow, you are really amazing, but how did you find this information about him? Isn't the Los Angeles Museum of History completely closed?"

"I got this information from a good friend of mine who used to be my best friend when I was in high school. Her family seems to be involved in historical relics. I happened to go out for dinner today.

I met her on the street and we chatted in a cafe all afternoon."

"So all the information about Sir Faustin's estate came from her?"

"Yes, I don't know how we chatted and ended up talking about this manor. Of course, I didn't tell her about the things we encountered. I just said that I read about this manor in an old book.

I was very interested in this manor through the introduction, and guess what, my best friend actually has an old book at home that records the history of this manor."

"Do you really believe what your best friend says? Is it really possible that there is such a book in her home?"

"Of course I didn't believe it all at first, but when she and I talked further about the history of this manor, I found that she actually knew a lot about this manor, including

Many of them are what we saw last time at the Los Angeles History Museum, but she also said a lot of other things about this manor and the Sir Faustin family. I believe that if you listen to these things, you will also become

As excited as I am."

"Really? What on earth did she tell you about this manor that could make you so excited?"

"This is an investigation report about Sir Faustin's true identity. Do you believe that there are people in this world who can live forever? It's like living for hundreds of years without any change in appearance, and will not get sick or injured. Even if you are sick and injured, you will not die.

You won't believe that he can recover at an extremely fast speed, Sir Faustin seems to be such a person."

I took a deep breath, and now I don’t know whether I should believe or question what Jessica said, because in fact, I do know that there are a group of people in this world who have this ability, just last night

Didn’t that artificial intelligence tell me something about those humans in outer space? Don’t they have this ability to survive for thousands of years without dying?

I told Jessica my thoughts, but she shook her head.

"No, Sir Faustin is not the same as the outer space humans you mentioned. His immortality is actually a kind of magic."

"What? Magic! Jessica, I know that everything we have experienced is difficult to explain with common sense, but it cannot be simply attributed to a kind of magic!"

"I know you won't believe me, but I hope you can look for evidence with me. No matter whether it can prove the authenticity of what my best friend said in the end, this is a very important clue."

"I still don't understand where the important clue you mentioned is reflected?"

"Have you forgotten the psychic witch I once met not long after we met? The experience with her really made me believe that there is magic, witchcraft, etc. in this world.

Things like voodoo, in fact, there are some witch organizations hidden in the neighborhoods of Los Angeles. I know that they have been living in this world secretly, but they also know how to hide their true identities.

Ability, just to survive in this world better."

"Well, you did say that you saw some incredible things from a psychic witch, but it's still hard for me to believe that these witches weren't lying."

"If someone told you not long ago that there are people smarter than us humans living in outer space, would you believe it?"

I was immediately speechless. If the technology to reverse and manipulate time and space really exists in this world, then it seems that it is not impossible that magic and witchcraft exist, but the former can be explained by scientific theory after all.

, and the latter is completely on the level of metaphysics and magic, but when it comes to magic, I think of an experience I had with Jessica before.

"Jessica, do you still remember the theme amusement park we went to? I was very impressed by the experience there, but there have been too many things recently, and I have not remembered what we encountered there.

Those incredible things.”

"You mean, yes, what happened there really cannot be explained by scientific theory in any case. If you are asked to accompany me to go there again, would you be willing?"

"It doesn't matter whether you want to go or not. Where you want to go is also where I want to go. But before going there this time, we should make some preparations in advance. You just said that Sir Faustin has immortality due to magic.

body, then doesn’t it mean that he is still living somewhere in this world?”

"Well, I can't answer this question, but my best friend does have evidence that Sir Faustin has survived for hundreds of years."

"What kind of evidence can prove that he lived for hundreds of years?"

"If we humans can accurately record a person's appearance through photos in the past hundred years, then how did we humans record a person's appearance in the thousands of years before that?"

"Of course it's painting. Before the appearance of photos, people could only record their appearance through portraits drawn by painters, and hoped that their portraits could be passed down to future generations."

"Yes, the evidence that can prove that Sir Faustin lived for hundreds or even thousands of years is a series of portraits. The oldest part of these portraits can be traced back to England around the seventh century AD."

"Have you really seen these portraits in your best friend's house?"

"Yes, although I am also curious why there are so many portraits of Sir Faustin in my best friend's house, and to be honest, I am not sure whether those portraits really come from England a thousand years ago, but when I saw

When you look at those portraits, it's really like seeing Sir Faustin himself. The people in those paintings seem to have a kind of magic that can directly suck people's souls in, especially the eyes of those portraits.

You can't stare at it all the time, it will make you feel like your body is out of control. These are my personal experiences, so I am so sure that magic really exists in this world."

I lowered my head and said nothing, thinking about these situations silently. I really don't believe that portraits really have this kind of magic, but there are indeed some portraits painted by great painters in history that have a certain feeling of magic.

, maybe some of them really have this miraculous ability, and can draw some kind of portrait that directly penetrates the depths of human souls. After people look at it, especially the eyes of the portrait, they will feel like they can't extricate themselves.

Although I tried hard to understand all this in a scientific way, in the end I found that it was still a bit too far-fetched.

"I don't know. I believe this is your true experience, but can it really be proved that he lived for that long just by relying on some portraits that look very similar to Sir Faustin? Is this all a conspiracy? You

Think about it, why does your best friend have so many portraits of Sir Faustin, and why did she meet you? Think about how long it had been since you had not been in contact, and now she suddenly appears, and she is so sensitive because she is so important.

Do you feel that all this is controlled secretly and is a trap deliberately set to mislead us into thinking in the wrong direction?"

This time it was Jessica who was speechless again. I saw her expression changing rapidly, as if she was going through some kind of complex psychological struggle. I didn't rush to say anything more, but quietly

I waited for a while, hoping that Jessica could figure out the problem on her own. Finally, after a while, a smile appeared on Jessica's face. Maybe she had understood the key to some of the problems.

"Anyway, this is the most critical clue we can find now. Although the situation you mentioned is possible, we cannot completely deny the importance of this clue. If someone is really there,

If all this is being controlled secretly, then maybe we can pull it off."

"Use the trick? It's interesting. I didn't expect you to be so smart, Jessica, so I'm all ears to hear if you have any better ideas."

"If these people who secretly control everything really exist, they must have some kind of superiority and feel that they can control everything like God, so

They must be somewhat proud and complacent in their hearts, and in this mood they can easily make some critical mistakes."

"For example?"

"For example, if we blindly believe that the people they control will always be under their control, they will be particularly confident in their plans, and what we have to do is continue to do things to make them feel that we are still under their control.

Only in this way will they continue their plan and want to lead us into a deeper trap. In this process, we need to find the loopholes in their plan and launch attacks on them at the right time.

Counterattack, only in this way can we find out these masterminds in one fell swoop."

"Jessica, although your plan sounds quite good, first of all it is based on the fact that the masterminds behind the scenes are arrogant enough and will expose many flaws. But in this kind of game, we cannot just win.

We put our weight on betting that the opponent is stupid enough. Even if the opponent is actually smart enough, we will be smart but be misled by the cleverness. We will use our mentality of thinking that we know everything to set a deeper trap for us. Then we will only be afraid that when the time comes

It will be difficult to escape. After all, the enemy is in the dark and we are in the open. We cannot compete with our opponents completely through gambling."

Jessica fell into deep thought again, and my mind was actually spinning desperately. In fact, I don’t know when Jessica and I began to realize that the things we experienced were full of coincidences.

.

From the first time I went to the haunted house to the first time I went to the amusement park, it was full of coincidences. The first time I went to the haunted house, it seemed that Jessica accidentally got information about the haunted house on a promotional poster, and the second time I went to the amusement park.

I was the one who led the way to the amusement park, but afterwards I couldn’t tell where I knew about that amusement park. It was as if there was a voice deep in my heart telling me that I should go there. I didn’t want to attribute this to something.

Magic or witchcraft, no matter what special means the mastermind behind the scenes uses, I will definitely find a way to find out the truth.

"By the way, Jessica, if there is really a special way for a person to survive for hundreds of years and remain young, what do you think it is most likely to be?"

"I think every method is weird, whether it's magic or the high technology used by alien humans as mentioned by artificial intelligence, every method is ridiculous, you know? The most ridiculous thing is that we still have to believe in this

Everything, and there is absolutely no reason not to believe it, we must be crazy!"

I shook my head and nodded again, with a helpless smile on my lips.

"We are not crazy. In fact, the world is crazy. But if I were really asked to choose a possible way for us humans to survive indefinitely, then I would choose genetic engineering. When I was chatting with that artificial intelligence before,

I didn't ask how those future humans in outer space could survive for such a long time, but one thing that is certain is that it must be some kind of biological and genetic technology that allows the cells in these human bodies to have unlimited regeneration capabilities.

I believe this kind of technology will appear in the future."

"But if it is the extension of life brought about by scientific and technological progress, then why not a combination of mechanical body and human body, with some kind of metal that is more compatible with human muscles as a component of the human body, and these metals have powerful regeneration and

The ability to self-repair, would this be better?"

"What you said makes sense. Maybe both of their technologies have been used. However, unless we can personally confirm it from their mouths, all the inferences we make are just clouds. Then the question becomes, what do we need to do?

Where can I find a guy who has actually lived for hundreds or even thousands of years?"

"Yes, if we can find Sir Faustin who is still living somewhere in this world, then all the answers will be easily solved, whether he uses magic and witchcraft, or uses top-notch creatures from the future or

Mechanical technology, at least we can all have a chance to figure out the truth."

"Does your best friend have any other information about Sir Faustin? For example, what happened behind the manor? That's the information that we didn't have time to see in the Los Angeles History Museum."

"I don't know what to say, but I feel that the things recorded by my best friend are not necessarily true."

"It doesn't matter. Regardless of whether it is true or not, we must know this information first. As for how to verify it later, that is another question."

"My best friend did record some other things about Sir Faustin's manor. These stories come from some old manuscripts. They are specially placed behind various glass display stands. You can clearly see through the glass.

I saw those words and papers. Although I couldn't touch those papers with my own hands, the shock that I felt when I saw them for the first time was indeed real. If they were really fake, then it would be unavoidable.

It’s a little too real.”

"Can you still read clearly the writing on those papers?"

"At that time, the handwriting on those papers was indeed a bit blurry. Many of the papers were damaged. I could only distinguish about 70% of the handwriting, but the other 10 to 20% of the handwriting could be discerned through the surrounding text.

After piecing together and guessing, only about 10% of the characters are truly completely indecipherable."

"So these contents can basically be distinguished, so what exactly does it say about Sir Faustin's manor?"

I asked with a bit of urgency. At this time, I seemed to begin to believe that these damaged manuscripts that Jessica said could really bring important information.

"It's like this. Sir Faustin disappeared mysteriously one day after his family moved to Los Angeles. No one knows where Sir Faustin went, and the most important thing is that he never appeared near Los Angeles again.

.”

"How could this happen? Did Sir Faustin disappear so mysteriously?"

"His disappearance was just the beginning. The information we learned at the Los Angeles History Museum at that time was not particularly sufficient. Many records were based on folk oral traditions and were the result of processing and improvement by HOU. And I

This is especially true for these manuscripts from my best friend’s house. They come from at least ten different people’s oral records, and there are some contradictions in them. So I think even though these manuscripts are authentic, these

It is still unknown how reliable the content recorded in the manuscript is."

"Well, even so, even if less than half of the contents in these manuscripts are true, we still have to figure out what these contents are, although it may take a lot of time and energy to distinguish the truth from lies.

, but we actually still have enough time, and we should believe that we can do this. Just keep talking, and I will listen carefully while trying to analyze and judge the authenticity."

"Okay, let me continue. After Sir Faustin disappeared, some strange things happened in Los Angeles. At that time, no one connected the occurrence of these strange things with Sir Faustin's mysterious disappearance. No one really connected all this.

At least fifty years have passed."

"What weird things were happening in Los Angeles at that time?"

"The first strange thing is that a plant that exists out of season began to grow near Sir Faustin's manor. Why is it said to be a plant out of season? Because in the season when flowers should be blooming, the plants will wither and wither.

They turn into a kind of rather ugly spores and lurk on the ground. If you don't look for them carefully, it's really hard to find their traces. But when everything dies, these spores will suddenly germinate and grow in a very short period of time.

It becomes a relatively tall shrub and blooms with dazzling flowers. However, the flowering period of this flower is only less than a week, but this is not the most critical point. The most critical point is to use the fruits and pollen of this flower as a

The food insects or animals will mutate after eating its fruits and pollen."

"Mutation?"

"Yes, according to at least three records from different sources, the size of these mutated insects has at least doubled, and their life span has also become very long. The most important thing is that no matter what their initial temperament is, these insects will

After mutation, they will become ferocious and aggressive, becoming a huge hidden danger to the safety of local people in Los Angeles. It is reported that at least hundreds of people were attacked and killed by these mutated insects or animals in those two years. At first, people did not know about these mutations.

It was not until two years later that people discovered that the special plant growing outside the manor was the culprit. Although people were full of fear of the manor at the time, their anger turned into courage. They came in groups

Outside the manor, uproot those terrible plants and throw them into the flames."

"Didn't they join forces and rush into the manor to have a look?"

"These people did have this idea at the time. In fact, it was indeed a good time, because later events proved that it was more difficult for them to organize so many people to come to the manor together. However, the manuscript

There are no more records in it, and I don’t know if they entered the manor at that time, but if there are no relevant records in these manuscripts, then we can only assume that they did not take the opportunity to enter.

Went inside the manor.”

"What a pity. If they had entered the manor and had a look, maybe many mysteries could have been solved at that time."

"In fact, you can't blame them, because it was only anger that gave them the courage to approach the manor that had been regarded as a vampire castle in a short period of time. After they eliminated those strange plants, the original anger dissipated.

A large part of it, and the original scary rumors about the manor and the weird atmosphere that existed nearby made these people, who were themselves a mob, fearful. Fear is something that is easily contagious, just like a battlefield.

The fear of death among soldiers will spread. Once a deserter appears, a large number of deserters will soon appear. As long as someone retreats, these people will soon disperse into birds and beasts, especially if they lack a powerful enough leader.

time."

"Things should be exactly as you guessed. Sometimes the power of more people will be greater, but sometimes the power of more people may not be greater, especially when there are differences of opinion in the team.

That’s it, then can you tell me what the second strange thing is?”
