November 14, 1996, 4 am, Los Angeles Toyota Center, Lakers Training Center.
"Boom, Boom, Boom." The rhythmical sound of basketball is in an empty stadium. A thin figure is practicing shooting in the arena.
Kobe remembered that the last morning training was the last life.
Why should I train in the early morning, because he wants to complete the first training every day while Vanessa and his children are sleeping.
When they get up, they can see Kobe. This is Kobe's happiness.
Kobe would rather sacrifice his sleep time than he would spend time with his family.
Kobe missed his family a little. I wonder if Vanessa and their children are doing well?
Will it be good? There will be many people who will help them through their difficult days.
. . . . . .
"Hi, Kobe! This is for you." O'Neill came to the training hall in the afternoon. This is the team's training time. He took out a black box and handed it to Kobe.
"what is this?"
"Motorola StarTAC! I think you are still using Big Brother, take this! This is the latest mobile phone, have you seen the flip?" O'Neill frowned, he likes to play with high-tech like a child The product.
"Oh, thank you Shaq." Kobe felt warm in his heart, and the Shaq was pretty good. In this case, then I will scratch out his last bad performance on my notebook.
It turned out that Motorola had already got a mobile phone. Kobe changed into a card and called Pelinka. Pelinka sent the old Joe's family and Kobe's two sisters a copy.
Fisher's eyes widened beside him, and looked at Kobe pitifully, revealing his rich feelings.
"Damn, Rob. Buy one for Derek." Kobe pretended to be angry. He knew that Fisher was fully capable of buying a mobile phone. They were just teasing each other.
"Hey, Kobe. Give me the whole one too." Yin and Yang Campbell posted it.
"Wote? You have a salary of 7 million dollars! You are the richest person here except Shaq!"
"You know, as you get older, the cost of supporting your family is always high."
Kobe Bryant's forehead, teammates laughed and laughed.
"Guys, come and watch the video." Harris brought together the laughter and slapstick players. He likes the current team atmosphere, and the new and old players are getting along very well.
Analyzing video is a required course for players and coaches. Every basketball worker spends a lot of time in the video room.
"Let's see, tomorrow's game is the Clippers. Previously 4 wins and 3 losses ranked eighth in the west."
"We are 5 wins and 1 loss and Houston tied for first in the West."
"They are a civilian team led by Bill Fitch, there are no superstars in the team."
"The highest scoring average is Rao Otter, a power forward with good stats averaging 15 points and 10 rebounds."
"Do you have anything to add?"
Analyzing the video is the task of Kirtlandbis. He gave an analysis of each player's strengths and weaknesses to everyone. The opponent's habits and areas that can be targeted are carefully drawn out.
"Kurt! Perfect! Next we will watch Campbell to blow Lloyd Otter to win this victory." O'Neill coaxed, he did not care about the Clippers, this level of the team is too easy Dealt with.
After the video research, it was already dusk.
In the breeze of Los Angeles at dusk, Bryant walked out of the training hall and drove to Santa Monica Beach.
Santa Monica Beach is one of the most famous beaches in Los Angeles. This is not only the end of the legendary Route 66, but also the most romantic place in the hearts of many people.
The Pacific Park, which just opened this year, attracted Kobe to come. He is the only amusement park on the west coast of the United States that is located on the pier. There is a famous solar ferris wheel in Los Santos.
Kobe always likes to empty himself at this beach, adjust his thoughts, and prepare for the next day's game.
Kobe watched the sunset as if everything would be quiet.
. . . . . .
The next day, the Great Western Forum Arena, the Lakers and Clippers shared a arena, and today is the Lakers' home.
Interestingly, the Clippers always like to cover up the legendary jerseys of the Lakers when they are at home.
"Hi, MAGIC. I haven't seen you for a long time." In the studio, a tall and thin bald man hugged Magic Johnson.
"Jabar, I'm so happy to see you." The magician beat the old partner's back hard. They were inseparable comrades for many years.
"I came for the commentary only for Shaq and Kobe. Today's commentary guests are the two of us." Jabal smiled slightly.
"Yes, I guess so. The two of them were so similar to us!" The magician was very excited. The combination of Kobe and Shaq was exactly the same as the combination of their original magician and Skyhook.
"Oh, I guess you were not as good as Kobe when you were 18."
"Bullshit, I was 18 years old but I was competing with Larry Bird for the NCAA championship." The old guys laughed constantly.
"Okay, okay, the game has started."
"O'Neal jumped the ball successfully, he gave the ball to Kobe."
"Kobe Bryant took the lead after catching the ball, the Clippers' foothold was not stable, and went straight to the basket."
"Look, this breakthrough is like a saber stab the opponent's hinterland."
"nice shot!"
Kobe's quick dunk made Sky hook Jabal and the magician hooked.
It's not over, Kobe and O'Neill squander their talents on the court. As if to vent the grievances of the Spurs the day before yesterday.
The Clippers have no power to parry, and the player talent gap is too large. All the tactics and techniques are meaningless. The Clippers and the current Lakers will be slaughtered.
Kobe Bryant and O'Neill worked together, the score was quickly pulled away.
Clippers star Laoy Otter was also firmly guarded by the hard-working Campbell, who played a significant role in defending the non-speed type inside.
When the defensive end was suddenly screened by Kobe, the offensive end was excited by the Lakers up and down, and the game quickly entered garbage time.
Kobe Bryant played 29 minutes ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Mid 11, scored 6 of 3, scored 28 points, 5 rebounds and 9 assists. He played very well, and his feel continued to be in good shape. The Clippers' defense didn't affect him at all.
O'Neal played 32 minutes, 9 of 11 shots, 5 of 10 free throws, scored 23 points, 10 rebounds and 3 assists. The hit rate is very exaggerated. This is the performance of the legendary superstar in the face of third-rate insiders.
The Lakers led their Gemini with 37 of 73 shots and 8 of 17 three-pointers. 31 assists scored 107 points, which was a very amazing offensive performance at the time.
Derek Fisher came off the bench to hit a career high, 11 points and 10 assists. For the first time in his career, he won two doubles. His performance on the bench has become better and better.
And the opponent's star Laoy Otter made 4 of 17 shots, and the 23.5% shooting rate was only 10 points. This player, who was not very athletic, performed poorly against the Lakers.
End of the game, the Lakers 107: 82 won the game, in fact, the dust has settled in the third quarter.
"Kobe, Kobe." Kobe was stopped when he was about to leave the player tunnel. A little boy handed him the jersey on the sidelines.
"Mr. Bryant, can you sign a name for me? I am your fan." The little boy scrambled for his big eyes and handed Kobe's jersey.
Kobe felt the child was familiar.
"No problem, what's your name, kid?"
"Russell, my name is Russell Westbrook."
"Very good." Bryant wrote a line of words on the jersey.
"To the future MVP Mr. Westbrook, please keep your love for basketball, you will become the next legend.-Kobe Bryant"
