After a hard-fought win on the road, the Lakers had a short three-day no-match day. At the same time, the next game will be held at the Lakers' home court, the Great Western Forum Arena, so Kobe Bryant will stay in Los Angeles for the next few days.

This gave the tired Lakers a chance to rest, but Bryant didn't stay home.

Early the next morning, Kobe Bryant came to the Lakers training hall. Although he won all these games, Kobe Bryant was not satisfied with his performance. Kobe Bryant's goal is always to win the championship, and with his current strength and team situation, winning the championship in front of Jordan is tantamount to a dream.

Kobe Bryant has a sense of urgency, and Jordan is two years away from retirement. There are only two years to beat Jordan head-on, and he must grow to the point where he beats Jordan during that time.

Bryant is very good at facing small point guards, but when he encounters a swingman with both strength and agility, or a pocket defense, he doesn't have a good way to cut through the defense. One reason is the lack of physical confrontation ability, under the current scale of the league's blowing penalty, many of Kobe's actions will be deformed after fierce confrontation. Another reason is that Bryant's three-point shooting still hasn't reached the point of a strategic weapon.

Maybe in a certain game, Kobe Bryant can hit a lot of three-pointers for a while. But there is no consistency, and opponents will not put a lot of defensive energy into Kobe's three-point game.

Kobe's potential opponent is always the Bulls led by Jordan, and Kobe knows that with his current ability, Jordan will be completely destroyed in all aspects. And O'Neal didn't break the strength of the Bulls' interior line. So the current Lakers may be a strong team, but it is not as good as Kobe Bryant wants.

It's not a rainy day, Kobe's motto is to keep challenging himself, pushing his limits, and making himself better. This is an integral part of the Mamba spirit, both in the previous life and in this life.

If it weren't for Kobe, maybe it would have developed secretly. Waiting for Jordan to retire and make a splash, but Kobe Bryant was never willing to wait. He doesn't care about tomorrow, Kobe Bryant cares about every moment.

Bryant was doing strength training when Pelinka's call came in.

"Head, I've got the trainer you want. Are you sure you want to put this hairy kid who just graduated in charge of your fitness and physiotherapy? Pelinka was a little puzzled, this white guy who had just graduated was not a reliable trainer by any means. Although his size is very standard, it has nothing to do with robustness. Pelinka's mind should be a middle-aged man with big shoulders and a round waist like Gary Petty.

"Of course, bring him here, I'm in the Power Pavilion." Kobe Bryant came at the right time, and he couldn't wait to face the future top trainer and physical therapist.

"Hi, nice to meet you, Mr. Kobe." Young Jeff Cavalier was a little shy.

"Come on, let's start this training session." Kobe Bryant was concise, and he also wanted to examine whether the young Jeff had what it took to help Kobe's body take it to the next level.

。。。。。。

"I have to say, sir. You're training at the highest intensity I've ever seen. And your body can actually eat it, and the average person training at this intensity is undoubtedly wiping out their career. Jeff was sweating profusely, having just earned a bachelor's degree in physical neurobiology and a master's degree in physical therapy from the University of Connecticut. At the same time, he also has many years of scientific fitness experience, but he has never seen a training intensity like Kobe.

"I've got to customize a physiotherapy regimen for you, and we have a lot of room for adjustment in our strength training, so the face pull is essential, and when your rotator cuff muscles are stronger, your shooting consistency will go to the next level." Jeff talked about professional matters and immediately gushed about it.

"Good, Jeff. Then we'll see you tomorrow, tomorrow morning at 5 o'clock in the Lakers training gym. Bryant was pleased with Jeff's performance, the founder of Athlean X who would later be a little immature, but his expertise was not lacking at all.

Jeff's eyes widened, "5 a.m., okay, boss." It's up to you. ”

Athlean X, founded by Jeff Cavalier, has served many players in the three major leagues in the United States, and has received wide acclaim from athletes in the three major leagues, whether it is rehabilitation training, strength training, or daily functional training.

Many players have made a qualitative leap forward in athleticism under Jeff's leadership, and many of his training philosophies are epoch-making. In previous lives, people like David Beckham, Rafael Nadal, Tom Brandi and Yao Ming were all his guests.

Kobe Bryant also has a plan, he wants to bring the advanced scientific concepts of later generations into the league, so that all athletes can benefit more in training, diet and physical maintenance.

Most of the current players will drop their form rapidly when they reach 30, and the players of later generations can maintain their peak until they are about 35 years old if they do not suffer devastating injuries. For an athlete, they are willing to exchange everything for a five-year peak career, which Kobe Bryant deeply understands.

Hiring Jeff is just the first step, and Bryant is slowly preparing to build a state-of-the-art sports center dedicated to athletes.

。。。。。。

"Boss, Philadelphia rookie Iverson. He actually scored 32 points against the Celtics, which is more than your highest score! Fisher walked in with the newspaper in his opinion, and in his opinion, there could be no better player in the same rookie class than Kobe.

This Iverson deliberately scored 32 points, which was clearly aimed at Kobe's 31 points. This made Lao Yu very angry, and Lao Yu was determined to give this kid a good look next time they met.

Kobe Bryant continued to shoot and practice, but silently remembered the number of 32 points in his heart.

The team was rehearsing Bowen's tactics after starting the game, and Harris made up his mind to remove Ceballos' starter, who was angry and absent from today's training session after receiving the news.

The team's tactics haven't changed much. The team's offensive initiator is still Kobe Bryant, and the offensive finisher O'Neal. Ceballos, who was originally the second scorer on the lineup, is now handed to Kobe. The team's task of defending opposing stars from the perimeter was handed over to Bowen from Kobe.

The Lakers' starting lineup is much more comfortable, the offense and defense are clearly organized, and the cooperation between Kobe Bryant and O'Neal is also clear.

Harris was pleased with the performance of this starting line-up, but he was a little worried about the substitutions. After the tacit understanding between Kobe and O'Neal is getting higher and higher, the time for Kobe Bryant and the bench to play together will inevitably be reduced.

The average height of the bench team is low, and the offense is not very good. The defense also has a couple of leaky players, which makes it a bit difficult for Harris.

At the same time, he was very angry about Ceballos' absence, and Harris, a coach who is very disciplined in the team, called West directly after the game.

"Del, I know what you're trying to say. Let's DNP Ceballos, don't worry, there are still a few games before the deal is made. ”

"Okay, Jerry. I'm sure you'll build a championship squad for the team. ”

"The champion team? Del, I think you're misunderstood. Our goal is always the dynasty, and the foundation of the dynasty is already in the field. West smiled, as if he could see Del Harris's face as he learned about the deal.
