November 14, 1996, 4 a.m., Los Angeles Toyota Center, Lakers Training Complex.

"Bang, bang, bang." The rhythmic sound of basketball is clear and empty in the gymnasium, and an emaciated figure is practicing shooting in the gymnasium.

Bryant remembers that the last time he trained in the early hours of the morning was his last life.

Why train in the wee hours of the morning, because he wants to finish the first training session of the day while Vanessa and his children are sleeping.

When they get up, they can see Kobe, and this is Kobe's happiness.

Bryant would rather sacrifice his sleep time than spend time with his family.

Bryant misses his family a little. I wonder if Vanessa and their children are doing well?

It would be nice, right? There will be a lot of people to help them through the hard times.

。。。。。。

"Hi Kobe! This one is for you. O'Neal came to the training gym in the afternoon, which was the team's scheduled training time, and he took out a black box and handed it to Kobe.

"What is this?"

"Motora Star TAC! I see you're still using Big Brother, take this! This is the latest mobile phone, have you ever seen a flip one? O'Neill's eyebrows fluttered, and he was like a kid who liked to fiddle with high-tech gadgets.

"Oh, thanks Shaq." Kobe Bryant felt warm in his heart, and Shaq was still quite good. In that case, I'll cross out his bad performance from the last game in my notebook.

It turned out that Motormore had already released its mobile phone, Kobe Bryant changed into a card, called Pelinka, and asked Pelinka to send a pair to Old Joe's family and Kobe's two sisters.

Fisher's eyes widened beside him, looking at Kobe Bryant pitifully, his eyes revealing a wealth of emotion.

"Damn it, Rob. Buy one for Derek too. Bryant feigned anger, he knew that Fisher was perfectly capable of buying a phone, and they were just playing with each other.

"Hi Kobe. Give me a whole one. Campbell, the yin-yang man, posted it.

"Walter? You've got a salary of $7 million! You're the richest guy here besides Shaq! ”

"You know, when you're older, it's always a lot of money to feed your family."

Kobe Bryant held his forehead, and his teammates laughed together.

"Guys, come and watch the footage." Harris brings the players together and he likes the current atmosphere of the team, where the old and new players get along well.

Analyzing video footage is a must for players and coaches, and 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're tied for first place in the West with Houston at 5-1."

"They're a civilian team led by Bill Feige and don't have a superstar on the team."

"The top scorer per game is Lloy Ott, a power forward with 15 points and 10 rebounds per game."

"Is there anything you would like to add?"

It was Kirtambis's task to analyze the footage, and he gave everyone an analysis of each player's strengths and weaknesses. The habits of the opponent and the places that can be targeted are carefully drawn.

"Curt! Perfect! Next, we'll see Campbell come and beat Lloy Ott to collect the win. "O'Neal heckled, he didn't take the Clippers to heart, a team at this level is too easy to deal with.

After the video was studied, it was already dusk.

As the Los Angeles breeze blew at dusk, Bryant walked out of the gym and drove to Santa Monica Beach.

Santa Monica Beach is one of the most famous beaches in Los Angeles, and it's not only the terminus of the legendary Route 66, but also the most romantic place in many people's hearts.

Bryant Bryant was attracted to Pacific Park, which opened this year, and is the only amusement park on the West Coast of the United States to sit on the pier. There is a famous solar Ferris wheel in Los Santos.

Bryant always likes to take his time on the beach and get ready for the next day's game.

Bryant watched the sunset, as if everything would return to tranquility.

。。。。。。

The next day, the Great Western Forum arena, where the Lakers and Clippers share a common arena, and today is the home court of the Lakers.

Interestingly, the Clippers always like to cover the Lakers' legendary jerseys from the ceiling when they're at home.

"Hi, MAGIC. Long time no see. In the studio, a tall, emaciated, bald man hugged Magician Johnson.

"Abdul-Jabbar, it's a pleasure to meet you." The magician slapped his old partner on the back, who had been inseparable for many years.

"I'm here for Shaq and Kobe, and today's commentators are the two of us." Abdul-Jabbar smiled.

"Yes, I guess too. The two of them are so much like us! "The Magic was very excited, and the combination of Kobe and Shaq was exactly the same as the combination of Magic and Skyhook.

"Oh, I guess you weren't as good as Kobe when you were 18."

", I'm 18 years old and I'm competing with Larry Bird for the NCAA title." The old guys laughed constantly.

"Alright, alright, the game is on."

"O'Neal made a jump and he gave the ball to Kobe."

"Bryant took the lead after receiving the ball, and the Clippers were unstable and went straight to the basket."

"Look, this breakthrough is like a saber stabbing the opponent's hinterland."

"Good shot!"

Bryant's quick-down dunk got Skyhook Abdul-Jabbar and the Magic hooked.

That's not all, Kobe Bryant and O'Neal are unleashing their talents on the court. As if to vent the resentment of losing to the Spurs the day before yesterday.

The Clippers were powerless, and the gap in player talent was too great. All the tactics and techniques are meaningless, and the Clippers and now Lakers are slaughtered.

Bryant and O'Neal worked together, and the score was quickly pulled away.

Clippers star Lloy Ott was also guarded by a hard-working Campbell, who was clearly effective in defending non-speed interior lines.

When the defensive end was burst into a sieve by Kobe, and the offensive end was guarded up and down by the excited Lakers, the game quickly entered garbage time.

Bryant played 29 minutes, shooting 11-of-19 from the field and 3-of-6 from three-point range to finish with 28 points, five rebounds and nine assists. He played with great ease, and his hand continued to be in good form, and the Clippers' defense did not affect him at all.

O'Neal played 32 minutes, shooting 9-of-11 from the field and 5-of-10 from the free-throw line to finish with 23 points, 10 rebounds and three assists. The hit rate is very exaggerated. This is the performance that a legendary superstar should play against a third-rate insider.

The Lakers were led by their twin stars on 37-of-73 shooting and 8-of-17 from three-point range. He scored 107 points in 31 assists, which was a very impressive offensive performance at the time.

Derrick Fisher came off the bench to play a career-high 11 points and 10 assists. For the first time in his career, he scored two double-pairs. He's been getting better off the bench.

And the opposing star Lloy Ott shot 4-of-17 from the field with a 23.5% shooting rate of just 10 points, and this player who is not very athletic has performed poorly under the Lakers' targeting.

At the end of the game, the Lakers won the game 107-82, but in fact, the dust had settled in the third quarter.

"Kobe, Kobe." Bryant was stopped as he was about to leave the court from the players' tunnel. A young boy handed him his jersey from the sidelines.

"Mr. Bryant, can you sign for me? I'm your fan. The little boy scrambled for big eyes and handed Kobe Bryant's jersey.

Bryant felt that this kid was familiar.

"No problem, what's your name, little friend?"

"Russell, my name is Russell Westbrook."

"Good." Bryant wrote a line of words on his jersey.

"To future MVP Mr. Westbrook, keep up the love of basketball and you will be the next legend. – Kobe Bryant
