Reborn as Kobe

Chapter 7: I am a big singer

   This confrontation practice in the team was stopped after only half an hour. Two non-human beings were on the court, and the rest of the team would be autistic.

   Kobe filled a half-bottle of Gatorade, refilled his body fluids, and started his daily routine training.

   The people around didn't pay attention at first, but after a while, everyone stopped their movements and looked at Kobe with surprise and even fear.

   Kobe does all basic exercises, but each set of actions is fast in addition to the standard. Yes, Kobe's training is mainly in a fast word. He moves fast and shoots quickly, but regardless of what Kobe does fast, he maintains quality and quantity.

   O'Neal watched Kobe's training and swallowed subconsciously, which was too scary.

   "Kobe, you will get hurt if you practice like this."

Kobe stopped his shooting practice and said to O'Neal who came over: "Big brother, I'm used to it. At the beginning, I first made all kinds of basic moves to the standard, including the shooting hand shape, and then gradually. One drop speeds up the rate."

   Kobe is not afraid of injury, because every time the training is over, he will take a medicated bath, in addition to enhancing physical fitness, but also increasing the body's healing speed. Every time you get a little injury or illness during training, you just need to soak in a medicated bath, and you can recover in one night.

Kobe has also started to take a traditional Chinese medicine decoction for a long time. Naturally, he found the prescription from the brain. It is said that the prescription of this decoction was provided to the Chinese government by the Shaolin Temple, which is known as the first school of all sizes. Special forces are using it, until the interstellar age, the drug began to spread throughout the Earth Alliance army.

   In addition to drug assistance, Kobe also began to practice Chinese martial arts, which can improve Kobe's ability to respond. Although there is no real story in the martial arts halls in Chinatown, these martial arts halls have laid a good foundation for him. As for advanced Chinese martial arts methods, the information stored in Zhi Brain is very detailed. Kobe has already kept up with people like Iverson in terms of reaction speed now, thanks to the long-term practice of national arts.

   But whether it is medicine or national martial arts, these Kobes will never be shared with others. People have selfishness. Kobe feels that in the world basketball world, it is enough to be superhuman alone.

   O'Neal said with some shame: "Brother, it seems that I have to train hard."

Kobe hurriedly stopped and said: "Brother O'Neill, you only need to ensure the basic training volume is enough. Don't practice more. Your body can't do a lot of training. Then you will be easily injured. If someone asks you to increase it in the future Training volume, he is just joking about your career and sports life."

   O'Neal is very lazy at first. Hearing that reducing training is actually good for him, he recognizes Kobe, the little brother who thinks for him even more.

   O'Neal doesn't know Kobe's thoughts. Kobe said these words because he was worried about O'Neal's injury. After all, Kobe's body is still relatively young and needs to be escorted by O'Neal. When he fully grows up, O'Neal should leave the Lakers. This is not Kobe's black heart, but professional sports is so cruel, especially the NBA professional league, everything runs around profit.

   October 10th, this day is the day when Kobe’s first music album "My Love" was released. Because there was no trouble in the preseason, Bryant followed Disney to start publicity in New York. Most of the people who came this time were Kobe fans of all ages. In North America, Kobe has a lot of book fans, so the sales on the first day were nearly a million.

   Disney was already very optimistic about the sales of this album, but unexpectedly underestimated the power of these songs.

In just one week, the songs on Kobe’s album occupied the top ten spots on the bulletin board. This created a myth that was unprecedented, including Michael Jackson, Madonna, and Whitney Houston. , Mariah Carey and other queens all said in the media that they are fans of Kobe Bryant.

   Kobe has not yet risen in the basketball world, but first became popular in the music world. Overnight, Kobe became a superstar in the American pop music scene. Even Zipperton said in a speech in Congress that he hopes Kobe can come to the White House one day to perform.

   Kobe's fame is something that some people are happy, some people hate, and some people are worried.

The president of the league, David Stern, was pleasantly surprised. Seeing his godson Jordan will retire in two years, this made him worry about the future of the NBA. Now Kobe's appearance allows him to find a new focus of the league. Decided to observe Kobe's condition first in the new season. If possible, Kobe is the league's top card in the post-Jordan era. For this reason, he personally called the referee league and David West to let them take care of this little guy. .

   The old gangster Jordan was very upset with Kobe. Now that Kobe is so famous, it is obvious that after the start of the new season, he will grab a lot of attention that originally belonged to him.

   Scarlett is the one who is most worried. Her steak brother was rich and talented, but now he has become a big star. There will definitely be many shameless "Bi Chi" who are unkind to her steak brother. Scarlett now only plays a few supporting roles in Home Alone, only a small Hollywood actress, which makes her very lack of confidence in herself.

   After a week of publicity, Bryant returned to Los Angeles, exhausted physically and mentally. Has entered the Lakers training hall, all teammates surrounded.

   O'Neal, who likes to be funny, even touched Kobe's short hair and smiled and said: "It turns out that big singers look like this! Tomorrow I will start recording songs, and I will also become a big star."

   In fact, many NBA stars like to sing, and some have even released albums and have good sales. Later generations of O'Neill, Charity World Peace, Tony Parker and others have released exclusive music albums.

   "Brother O'Neill, I don't want to start fading so early."

   Kobe avoided O'Neill's big claws, took out the pre-prepared autographed record from his backpack, and distributed it to his teammates and other personnel in the venue.

   Originally, Jerry West, Harris and others were worried that Kobe's energy would no longer be on the basketball court, but they were relieved to see that Kobe was immediately thrown into the hard training after he returned.

   On November 1, 1996, the Lakers officially kicked off the new season.

   In the first game, the Lakers played against the Phoenix Suns at home. Originally, this game was not taken seriously by everyone, but because of Kobe's overnight fame, the game was temporarily changed to a national broadcast.

  Before the game, apart from giving the whole family the tickets for the game, Kobe didn't forget to give the Scarlett family. After Scarlett received the tickets presented by Kobe, she somewhat put aside some concerns.

   In this game, Kobe served as the starting point guard, starting with O'Neal, Eddie Jones, Eldon Campbell, and Cedric Ceballos. Crazy Fan voluntarily asked to be the sixth man and lead the bench.

   The Suns’ starting lineup was led by the ugly alien Kassel. His teammates were Visley Purson, Joe Klein, A.C. Green and the key Mr. Robert Horry.

   At the beginning of the game, O'Neal won the jump ball, and he allocated the ball to Kobe the first time. Kobe dribbled the ball and quickly rushed to the basket. Kassel and Green stepped forward to double-team, but before they could finish the action, O'Neal soared into the sky and dunked Green to the ground. He bumped his chest with Kobe and returned to the home team halftime with a domineering step.

   The scene was replayed on the big screen. It turned out that Kobe passed the ball from under his hip to O'Neal, who was running to the basket. O'Neal received the ball comfortably and dunked it aggressively. The key is that Kobe's pass was also very beautiful.

   Cassell was very unconvinced, ready to pay one back. He dribbled the ball and made several consecutive fake moves without swaying Kobe. Instead, Kobe cut the ball off. Kobe rushed to the opponent's half, Cassell desperately squeezed Kobe, so Kobe couldn't increase the speed, when Kobe rushed to the opponent's half, Horry had already rushed back. Facing the defense of the two men, Kobe did not wait for the other teammates to be seated. Instead, he leaned back at the start of the free throw line, flicked his finger lightly, and with a "swish" sound, the basketball made a rainbow and got into the basket. .

   For this ball, Kobe's entire posture looked like Jordan, and his movements were as beautiful as a picture. The audience burst into applause and cheers.

   David Stern in front of the TV lit up. He just wanted to let the league publicize Kobe as Jordan's successor after the game. He frowned in an instant, and it took a long time for him to show a mysterious smile.

   "The little guy is very ambitious. Since you have this determination and strength, I dare to hold you on that high platform."

Of course, David Stern’s inner activities Kobe wouldn’t know. After playing for more than two minutes, Kobe kept feeding his teammates except for the fall-back jumper. O’Neal was quick to beat the Suns. The basket was smashed.

   The score on the field was 3:12. Except for Horry who threw a three-pointer, the Suns didn't score a single point.

   Cotton Fitzsimmons could only call a timeout anxiously.

   Harris did not deploy any extra tactics, but shouted: "Very good, just do it, let's kill each other!"

   Harris yelled around and found that there was one missing person. When he looked up, he found that Kobe was standing behind the old man Cotton, and as the old man yelled, he smiled and nodded from time to time.

   After the timeout was over, the Suns players and coaches discovered that Kobe next to him, the old man Cotton was almost furious. Kobe hurried back to the Lakers. The audience saw this scene on the big screen, and there was a huge roar of laughter.

   Scarlett nestled in her mother's arms, her chest was rippling and her face flushed. He didn't expect his steak brother to be a teaser.

   The baseline ball was sent, and Cassel had the ball. Kobe pressed for near the midfield, and Cassel almost lost the ball again. Finally reached the three-point line, Cassel asked for a pick-and-roll, thrown off Kobe, and rushed into the basket. Kassel got up on the spot, the basketball had just left his right hand, and Horry yelled from behind, "Be careful!"

   Cassel was still in a daze, the basketball was shot out of the court by a big hand. It turns out that O'Neill had already waited aside, just waiting for this moment, a super hot pot, so that the aliens face.

It was the Lakers' turn to attack again. Kobe brought the ball to the top of the arc of the three-point line. Bryant dribbled the ball across the three-point line, slammed Green against his back, almost staggered, and then quickly turned to the right. Accelerate extraordinary success.

Green suffered a big loss. He thought Kobe was young and thinner, and his strength should be far less than his own. In fact, when Kobe first arrived at the Lakers, he tested that he could bench press 85 kilograms ten times in a row. This is the reason why he did not try his best. .

   Kobe took the ball to the right seventy-five degrees in one step, stopped and shot a three-point jumper, Joe Klein was a step slower to chase the block, and the ball was already flying to the basket when he jumped.

   Kobe shot very resolutely, the ball drew a perfect arc, hollow into the net, 3:15.

The commentator Link called: "The Lakers rookie Kobe Bryant is simply the second Jordan. I think in addition to his appearance and height, he is simply the Jordan when he was young, and he was more fledgling than he was at the beginning of the year. Jordan is much more selfless."

Larry Bird next to him said: "The other general managers of the league will definitely regret it because they missed another Jordan. The owner of the Hornets must hate the general manager of the team. They gave up a young Jordan. All he got was just a Divac."

   Cassell brought the ball to the front court. He wants to pay it back as soon as possible.

   Kobe kept a step and a half distance with him, lowering his center of gravity to prevent breakthroughs.

In fact, in the Rockets period, when faced with opponents like this, Cassel dared to throw in the middle. Unfortunately, after joining the Suns, Cassel was asked by the coach to break through the inside and try his best to end the offense with a layup. The closer you are to the basket, the higher your hit rate."

   Now almost all the coaches in the seventh and eighth layers of the league don't like players to shoot three-pointers, even Reggie Miller averages less than seven three-pointers per game.

   Cassell can only resist his desire to shoot and break through with the ball. The alien's footsteps are still good, many times changed backwards and finally got out of Kobe, turned and withdrew jumper. He created the shooting space, but today the hand feels bad, the ball bounced out, and O'Neal grabbed a backcourt rebound.

   O'Neal handed the ball to Kobe, and then made a slowdown gesture at him.

   Although O'Neal played very well today, he is a big center after all. If he runs like this, he will lose energy in the half.

   Kobe pretended to drop the ball inside, and suddenly passed it to Eddie Jones, who was running to the right corner. In the middle, O'Neal made a ball-free screen for Jones and blocked Horry.

   Jones made a two-pointer with an open catch.

   After halftime, the Suns only scored 32 points, while the Lakers scored 61 points, almost killing the Suns.
