The crowd gathered at the entrance of the Los Angeles Museum of History was quite large, but as the situation gradually developed, in addition to the Los Angeles police, there were also some other government workers at the scene, Jessica recognized FBI and CIA agents among them, and their arrival meant that this incident had risen to a new level.

However, with the intervention of these government agencies, the front of the Los Angeles Museum of History has been completely sealed, and all people who have nothing to do with it have been expelled, and Jessica and I can only follow the crowd outside.

Not to mention everything that happened from the night before yesterday to now, because it may not be just my Jessica and the two of them, and as the situation continues to expand, it's hard to imagine how many weird things will happen in the future.

But now I really don't have the mood to think about these things anymore, and Jessica seems a little depressed, and we all know that if the man who caused the closure of the Los Angeles Museum of History was really related to Sir Faustin's estate, then it would not be so easy for us to find any more information about that estate.

"Jessica, is there really only one historical museum that has information about Sir Faustin and this manor? We must act as soon as possible to complete your detailed investigation of this manor before they do. ”

"If the other party really takes action against us with a purpose, I'm afraid the next thing will be very unfavorable for us, and I don't know where else in Los Angeles can have such a rich and complete historical document like here, so let's go and continue to look for information related to this manor, and you should rush to Staples Arena to train first."

I nodded slightly, hugged Jessica affectionately, and then got in the car and left the Los Angeles Museum of History.

An hour later, I arrived at Staples Arena, it was already half past twelve at noon, I had a quick bite to eat, I took a half-hour nap, and then I started shooting drills, but today I came alone, and there was no one else on the court, so I had to choose to shoot alone.

I haven't touched basketball for a day, but many times training is not the best every day, the human body needs a certain amount of time to rest and recover, whether it is motor nerves or muscle tissue, after high-intensity exercise will suffer a certain degree of damage, at this time sufficient rest time can allow the player's body to recover and further grow.

The motor nerves are sometimes like this, continuous high-intensity training is likely to reduce your motor reaction speed, but for me, I don't need as much rest time as ordinary people, because Kobe's young body's athletic recovery ability itself is much better than that of ordinary people, and his physical fitness is also more than terrifying, so there are better conditions for higher intensity and longer training.

So from another point of view, a player like Shaq is really impossible to train like Kobe Bryant, because everyone's physical talent and physique type are different, Shaq's body is too explosive, coupled with his huge weight, high-intensity training will make his legs difficult to bear such a huge load, which will bring him greater injury risks, and my weight is lighter, and when I play, it is not as terrible as Shaq's physical consumption, so I can do more low-to-medium intensity trainingto improve my basic skills.

I've also realized that it's not that high-intensity training or low-intensity training is necessarily good, but that there should be trade-offs for different players at different times, for example, if I use relatively low-intensity and relatively high-intensity training interspersed with it, it can often bring better training results to myself.

High-intensity training mainly refers to some so-called anaerobic exercises, which require the human body to burst out of huge energy in a short period of time, and the advantage of this training is that it can quickly stimulate the body and muscles, so as to achieve good training results in a short time.

However, the disadvantage of this kind of high-intensity training is that it cannot be sustained, and the body cannot be at high intensity for a long time, which will cause huge and irreversible damage to our body, so some low-intensity training should be interspersed with some low-intensity training in the interval of high-intensity training, these low-intensity training are mainly shooting, basic skills training and slow running training, as well as some physical flexibility training.

I don't usually do strength training before shooting training, I did it once before, and the result is that it makes me feel very bad during shooting training, in fact, strength training does affect the feeling of shooting many times, like some people say that the greater the strength of the shot, the worse the shooting will be, although it is not absolutely true, but many times this is true, when I work hard in the gym and then go to shoot, the whole arm seems to bulge, The muscles will be relatively inelastic enough, so that the feel will lack flexibility.

I first ran back and forth on the course as fast as I could, two times each charge, one back and forth in one group, after one set I would rest on the spot for a minute, and then I would do the second set of training, such a high-intensity sprint training I ran nearly 20 sets in a row, until I let my body have a hot phase for a short period of time before resting.

It's probably the most intense sprint I've done this season, and I didn't have a lot of time to recover, but I did it with my own mind, which was to push my body to the limit a little bit more.

In fact, everyone will be limited by their genetics and have a certain degree of physical strength ceiling, because Kobe's physical age is only 18 years old at the moment, so I believe that there will be some space for his physical limit, if I can break through this bottleneck through crazy training, then it is very likely that Kobe's body will eventually have a more terrifying extreme physical fitness.

Of course, there is a certain risk for me to do this, after all, 18 years old is not too big, not too small, and my usual competition intensity is becoming more and more intense, if I do too intense physical training in a short period of time, I may overdraw my physical potential in advance, or cause potential injuries to my body.

However, I chose to make such a bet because I wanted to do better on the basketball court and I needed to have more physical ability to compete with Jordan.

This time, I took a break for about a day to train again, I felt that the whole body was very well prepared, and I had enough time and energy to do all kinds of training, and after the high-intensity short distance round-trip run, I rested for about 20 minutes, and then began to shoot on the move.

The so-called shooting training between the marches is actually to let yourself run while looking for opportunities to shoot, most of these shots will be completed with a stop-and-go jumper, but I will also find a better way to shoot in the process of traveling, such as small throws and emergency stops and back-backs, turning small hooks and other various variations.

The reason why I will do this kind of training is mainly to improve my overall adaptability in the face of players defending, of course, many times there will be assistant coaches and shooting coaches to assist in this kind of training, but I came a little early, so I can only imagine that I have a defensive player in front of me, and then JIN line simulates shooting training, although the effect of training may not be so good, but it can still be improved to a certain extent.

Shooting practice may seem like a pretty boring thing, but I really fell in love with the feeling of shooting, and there is nothing more wonderful in my eyes at this moment than when a basketball goes through the basket.

When I was training alone until 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the Lakers players started to enter the court one after another, and I remembered that there was already an intra-team training this afternoon, and there was no intra-team training in the previous game because we hadn't rested for back-to-back games, and it had been an unknown amount of time since we last held an intra-team practice.

After a break from the day, the Lakers players finally regained their spirits, and I noticed that Shaq seemed very calm today and didn't communicate more with other teammates.

I didn't even want to waste my own training time by saying hello to them before the training matches, and when I was really warm-up, I didn't sweat much after a few hours of training, and the real excitement was the confrontation with my teammates who were more qualified.

As I continued my three-point drill, Eddie Jones walked up to me with the ball.

"Should I call you Bryant or Kobe better?"

"Actually, I still prefer people to call me Kobe."

"Is Kobe Bryant the name of a Japanese premium steak?"

"You know the origin of my name, it's really a Japanese high-class beef ranking word that my father Joe likes very much."

"It feels like it's right for you, because there's a bull-like toughness in you."

"I'll just think you're complimenting me, say, what's the matter with me?"

"I shouldn't have said these things, but we've gone through more than a dozen regular season games and we should still know each other a little, so I think it's more appropriate to share some of my thoughts at this time."

"Well, just say whatever you think."

"I have to admit that you're really full of potential as a rookie and adapt to the NBA very quickly, and I always feel like everybody is underestimating your basketball IQ a little bit, and if you look at the shooting percentage rankings, your ranking as a rookie shooting guard is a bit surprising."

"It's a reward for my hard work, and of course there's an element of luck because I only have to face the opposition substitutes every game, so I deserve to be more efficient."

"That's exactly what I'm trying to say, and as you can probably tell, I've always struggled a little bit in the games I've started with Shaq, but instead I find that you and Shaq seem to have better chemistry, and even though you're always arguing off the pitch or ignoring each other, you're a very passionate pair on the pitch and maybe you're the one who deserves to start."

"Well, I don't really know how to answer that, and as much as I would love to be a starter, then your playing time will definitely be greatly affected."

"I've thought about this very seriously, if it continues like this, I don't know how much my competitive state will drop, if I can find a more suitable role for me to play, so as to improve my actual performance on the court, it will be good for me and the entire Lakers team."

"I really didn't expect you to have such a broad mind, and after listening to your words, I can't help but admire you a little, but I still feel a little unacceptable to this matter, because I want to win the starting position through my own real efforts."

"You've won my approval with your performance, I'm sure the rest of the team will agree with me, I've discussed this with my agent, and he supports my decision, I'll discuss this with head coach Silver Fox Harris later, I'm telling you now just that I hope you can be mentally prepared, I believe the Lakers will be able to achieve more under the leadership of you and Shaq."

I gave Eddie Jones a friendly tap on the shoulder, then shook my head and continued to work.

For a while, what Eddie Jones said to me lingered in my mind, and it was a bit strange, and all of a sudden it seemed like the Lakers' starting player was within reach, but it made me feel a little uncomfortable.

Another question that came to my mind was that if I was to switch places with Eddie Jones and start with Shaq, it would have an impact on the chemistry that was already there, and although the chemistry between me and Shaq was good in many games, it didn't guarantee that it would still work when I got into the starting line-up.

I knocked on my head, I felt a little funny, I usually want to be in the starting lineup, but now I keep thinking about the bad situation that may occur when I enter the starting lineup, I am really a big comic myself.

I'm trying to get my brain back into a blank state, and I don't want Eddie Jones to interfere with my own good mindset, and I should still focus all my attention on the basketball game and not anywhere else, whether I'm the starter or off the bench, these should be the things that the head coach thinks about, it doesn't matter to me.

Thinking about it, I quickly got into training again, and one of the advantages of being in the middle of it is that you feel like everything in front of you is slowing down, the basket in front of you is as wide as the sea, and you can throw the ball into the basket with your hands in the sky.

Sure enough, after hitting 1 shot, 3 of 3 shots, 5 of 5 shots, 10 shots of 10, and 10 consecutive pull-up shots near the free throw line, a tall figure appeared in front of my eyes.

"I didn't expect you guys to improve so quickly, I just heard Eddie Jones talking to the head coach, it seems that you are going to replace Eddie Jones in the starting lineup at the beginning of today's training match, but you should understand one thing, that is, who is the boss of this team?"

Well, Shaq is really a bit funny, just knew that I might be in the starting lineup and ran over to give me a dismount, I am not so easy to talk to, decisively threw the ball into his hands, which means that I have the ability to talk with the ball.

Shaq picked the ball up from the ground as if he were holding a small leather ball, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

"What, have you forgotten the result of the last head-to-head with me?"

"It seems to be a little difficult to get around, it's always not easy for me to go head-to-head with a center forward with you, didn't we say last time that we would have a two-on-two game, then we each choose a teammate in the team to play a two-on-two game."

Shaq lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then showed a winning expression, he pointed to Byron Scott, who was shooting on another court, I thought to myself, just pick such a waste teammate and want to beat me?

I also pointed to the Lakers starting power forward Robert Horry who practiced on another court, and the reason why I chose him was because our Lakers' backup center, that is, Shaq's backup center is really a super rookie, whether it is size, technique, awareness, experience, or fighting spirit, all aspects are the kind that should be beaten by Shaq as a son.

And Robert Horry can open up the court with a good three-point shot, so that I can play one-on-one singles, with my advantage against Byron Scott, if Shaq doesn't come to make up for me, I will directly blow up this old boy, if Shaq comes to make up for me, I can also pass the ball to Robert Horry outside the three-point line, so that Shak's defense will pay.

Originally, Robert Horry didn't particularly want to participate in the gamble between me and Shaq, but in the end, he really couldn't say anything about me, so he had to agree to fight me against Shaq and Byron Scott.

Of course, I don't expect him to be able to lock Shaq on the defensive end, and being able to cause Shaq a little bit of trouble and then try to protect the backcourt rebounds is the biggest contribution he can do on the defensive end.

And the biggest attraction of this two-on-two game is the excellent performance of me and Shaq on both offensive and defensive ends, and only we have the ability to decide the outcome of the game, of course, it does not mean that Robert Horry and Byron Scott are useless at all, their presence will also be an important factor in whether we can play the real strength.

Byron Scott, the old boy, was so happy that he was about to go up to the sky when he heard that Shaq was going to let him be his teammate and beat me and Robert Horry, and looking at his funny look, I thought to myself that I would have to abuse you so much that your mother didn't even know you.

"Do you need to take some more time to warm up?"

I saw that a few of them hadn't been to the gym for a long time, and I wanted to remind them to do some warm-up exercises, but apparently these guys said they didn't need to warm up anymore, and since they didn't need it, they wouldn't warm up.

Since it is a two-on-two game, it is naturally the rule of the three-point line in the half, ending with twenty points, two points or two points, three-point shots or three points, and re-serve after the foul, and at the same time be able to compete for rebounds in the front court.

Once the game started, Robert Horry and I took the lead, and I let Robert Horry stand directly at the bottom corner three-point line, and I left the rest to me to play the old boy Byron Scott.

Because there have been two heads-up games with Byron Scott before, and without exception, I have won the final victory, and the gap between me and his strength is getting wider and wider, at the beginning when I was first reborn as Kobe, I was not very comfortable with this Kobe's body, and many abilities could not be brought into play, especially in the first burst of my shooting was terrible, and I could only impact the basket with physical fitness.

However, now I have quite good dribbling and shooting ability, and the most important point is that I have enough time to warm up and shoot before this two-on-two game, of course, Shaq actually doesn't need to shoot warm-up training, so this should have a similar impact on the strength of both sides.

I dribbled outside the three-point line to observe the situation on the court, especially the situation of Shak, it is obvious that he still has a certain fear of Robert Horry, after all, as a spatial No. 4 player, Robert Horry's three-point stability is still very good, but Shaq will definitely judge according to my game state first.

One of the rules of our 2-on-2 game today is that the scoring side continues to have the ball, so it is very important to defend against the opponent's attack, if you let the opponent score continuously, it will put your side in a very disadvantageous situation, whether it is me or Shaq after having a hot hand, it is undoubtedly a nightmare for the opponent, and today it is clear that neither of me and Shaq wants to lose to each other.

I used a few simple crosses to make Byron Scott lose his defensive center of gravity, after all, his height is a bit of a loss in front of me, plus I am in excellent physical condition at this time, the whole person is like a spring rushing out, his center of gravity is just one shift is destined to no longer be able to keep up with my pace.

However, breaking through his defense was only my first step, and sure enough, Shaq only pretended to focus on Robert Horry in the bottom corner, but in fact, the main focus was still on how to defend me, and at this time he was rushing towards me at a very fast speed, and Robert Horry suddenly became empty.

However, instead of passing the ball out, I used a stop-and-go jumper to end the offense cleanly, and the basketball hollowed into the net without the slightest feeling of mud and water.

I saw that Robert Horry's face was a little bit unpleasant, even though I had made the shot, but obviously if my shot had been slower than a few tenths of a second, I would have been hit by Shaq, who had such a big space, but today I was so confident that I could shoot faster than Shaq.

When I get into this state of great confidence, it seems like no one in this world can stand in my way, not even a giant like Shaq.

I saw a hint of doubt and surprise on Shaq's face, it was clear that he felt that he had rushed over to me in the first place, but he still didn't finish the block on me, and I completed this extremely difficult jump shot directly above his head, which made me feel confident again and effectively dealt a blow to Shaq's arrogance.

I saw Shaq bow his head in Byron Scott's ear and say something, Scott nodded, and made a look of defending me with all his might.

I was still watching the position of Shaq and Scott, only this time Shaq was obviously smarter, he was a little farther away from Robert Horry than before, and with his huge stride, it only took two steps to get back to the basket from the high post.

Seeing this, I also knew in my heart, I used the low back single to eat Scott's old boy, but Scott didn't want me to eat him with my back very easily, before my back position was formed, he used that risky steal to disrupt my dribble rhythm, if my ability to protect the ball is a little worse, or if I am a little inattentive, I am afraid that this time he will already cut off the dribble.

"Hehe, I'm afraid you're not embarrassed by these three or two tricks."

I sprayed a few trash words at Scott, this guy is a lot older, but he just can't hold his breath and sprays me with trash talk.

In fact, the purpose of my trash talk is just to distract him, doesn't this make it easy for me to succeed, while he is focused on talking, I hold his arm with my back, and then make a slight borrowing movement to make a backward turn, the amplitude of this action is very small, so the speed is also very fast.

Maybe he didn't expect to be so easily bypassed by me to bypass the center of gravity of the defense, of course, this time he pressed the center of gravity a little lower than the previous attack, so he was able to make timely remedial actions after the defense was out of position.

It's just that his rate of recovery moves obviously can't keep up with my breakthrough rate, and Shaq saw me break through Scott's defense with ease again, and couldn't help but get angry and rush at me again.

This time Shaq's defense was too fast, and I was completely in Shaq's no-fly zone after breaking through to the basket, knowing that no matter what kind of shot I made at such a close distance, I would basically be blocked by him.

Where did Shaq know that I shook his whole person with a backhand layup feint, his body weight was too large so the inertia was also very large, this was originally a chance for me to shoot, but between the extremely fast reaction speed, I found that Shaq at this time did not lose the space to block, if I forced the shot, there is still a great chance that he will directly press the ball down.

So in the end, I passed the ball to Robert Horry who was outside the three-point line in the bottom corner, and Shaq was obviously surprised that I was able to twist the ball so far in the air, and he must have a new understanding of my core strength.

Robert Horry didn't catch the ball particularly comfortably, but as a top shooter, he was still able to react correctly in a very short time, in fact, Shaq and Scott couldn't make up for him anymore, as he got up and down, the three-point shot hit the basket steadily, and our team's score has come to five points, and Shaq is still zero.

At this time, Shaq's face had sunk, it was obvious that he finally began to realize my strength at the moment, I saw him whisper a few words to Scott again, and then he actually changed to him to defend me personally, and let Scott defend Robert Horry, I wondered if this guy couldn't afford to lose, but in the end he still didn't say this sentence.

I held the ball and made two consecutive forward changes outside the three-point line, and Shaq stood motionless near the free throw line, completely indifferent to my dribbling, of course, I knew that the smile on Shaq's face at this time was actually fake, and he was actually a little empty in his heart.

So when I opened the way with a posture that pressed the center of gravity to break through along the bottom line, Shaq immediately pressed the center of gravity down, but I didn't expect this guy to have a serious defense.

Because Shaq's size is too huge, and his footsteps are not slow, the only weakness is that the body swings too much due to too much weight, so if I want to break through him, I have to use a large early change of direction to pull his center of gravity away, but my early change of direction speed is obviously not up to the level of Alan Iverson, so if you want to shake Shaq directly, it is not only very physically exhausting, but also the success rate is not high.

When Shaq is really serious about defending, it is still a bit powerful, especially when he actually lowers his center of gravity to defend me, which shows that he is already very important to me at the moment, so how can I break his defense?

I tried a lot of ways to attack this time, but I couldn't get rid of Shaq's defense, and in the end I could only barely shoot the iron.

In this way, the smug smile on Shaq's face appeared again, but he did have the strength and qualifications to use this smug smile.

Shaq got the next offense, Robert Horry and I had to find a way to stop his offense, Scott held the ball and attacked, of course we all knew that he would eventually pass the ball to Shaq who was already in a good position on the inside, I tried to interfere with Scott's passing route, but this time Scott was very smart, directly hoisted a high ball near the basket, Shaq received the ball and directly dunked in the air.

Shaq's speed is very amazing, Robert Horry, who is defending in front of him, has been thrown away without even reacting, how to defend Shaq next?

The next offense, Scott didn't rush to pass the ball to Shaq, he seemed to want to try his touch, after all, with Shaq's absolute height on the inside, even if he couldn't shoot, he had a good chance of grabbing an offensive rebound.

And my best way is to cut off Scott's ball directly, but there is only one chance, as a veteran who has been in the league for more than ten years, Scott is really not as good as he imagined, especially his dribbling skills are actually in the middle of the range among guards, as long as he is not compared with a guard like Iverson.

Unfortunately, although Byron Scott's dribbling skills are not bad and his awareness of protecting the ball is good, he has a rather bad habit of dribbling, which also leads to the fact that in many cases, elite defenders have the opportunity to steal his dribble directly.

If it weren't for the fact that I've had two heads-up experiences with Byron Scott, I wouldn't have been so familiar with his dribbling habits, but this is only one chance, and it's hard to take advantage of his little habit if he wasn't paying attention.

However, this time the old boy of Byron Scott did give me this opportunity, and when he habitually made a fancy dribble and then pulled up, I took advantage of his physical reaction speed to keep up with me, used a head-turning feint, and then pushed the ball out of Byron Scott's hand in a fraction of a second.

Scott's speed is not as fast as mine, as soon as the ball is taken out by me, it will be difficult to chase it back, I quickly put the ball back into my own hands, only to see Byron Scott and Shaq's expressions at this time can be described as not exciting, as if they are going to eat me, but what can they do, their dribbling skills are not good, can you blame me?

Shaq was in front of me again, intending to continue to defend me with intensity, and after the experience I had last time, I was going to play a simple pick-and-roll with Robert Horry.

The fundamental purpose of my call for pick-and-roll is to create a pick-and-roll substitution between Shaq and Scott to create an opportunity for me to single Scott again.

In the face of me and Horry's high pick-and-roll, Shaq still couldn't chase people outside the three-point line, so in the end, we basically achieved our blocking goal, which was to create an opportunity for me to single Scott.

I didn't wait for Shaq and Scott to complete another change of defense after the change, but seized the opportunity to attack Scott directly, and I just felt like I was flying through the space between Scott and Scott.

Shaq and Scott came to make up for me at the same time, but the tacit understanding between their defense is still a bit poor to be honest, and the tacit understanding between our team members in the Lakers game is a bit insufficient, and this shortcoming was exposed again at this time, but the common defense of Shaq and Scott became a mutual interference and influence, but it allowed me to get a relatively favorable breakthrough position, directly through the gap between Shaq and Scott.

Shaq also wanted to continue to chase after me, in the face of his big hand that came first, my whole body was folded into a weird angle in the air, using a strong waist and abdomen to stay in the air, forced to dodge Shaq's first round of save, and only after he had landed did I hit the ball with the reverse lever and hit the board.

I was a little dumbfounded when I was done, but I didn't expect that under Shaq's pressure, I would be able to reach my potential to such a high level.

At this time, I suddenly heard bursts of applause in the distance, I fixed my eyes to see that the person who applauded was none other than our Lakers head coach Silver Fox Harris, I saw that there were a group of Lakers assistant coaches, shooting coaches and other staff members standing behind him, I looked at Harris a little confused, but he walked slowly towards the venue of our game.

"It's good to be a little competitive young man, I'm not blind, I can see your progress over this period of time, and after today you will officially become the starting player of our Lakers team, so you and Shaq should practice the tacit understanding now, how can they fight separately."

Shaq originally showed a full face of displeasure after the ball was not defended, at this time, the head coach Silver Fox Harris took the initiative to make a step for him so that he could go down, smart as he also knew that the time should stop, so his attitude also changed a little, and he actually took the initiative to come over and shake my hand, and also said that I was very happy that I could be the starting player of the Lakers, hoping to play a good tacit understanding with me.

However, although Shaq is very polite in his mouth, he uses a lot of strength in this hand, and his big hand of nearly 30 cm gives me this hand, which is really a bit stressful.

Of course, I didn't take this to heart, because today's match with Shaq was a bit of a super-level performance, so I just took it when I saw it, no one is 100% sure that Shaq can win, and just because I can temporarily take the lead doesn't mean that I will be able to have the last laugh.

Lakers head coach Silver Fox Harris gathered all the Lakers players together and came out with a pretty serious look, and every time he showed such a look, I knew he was going to start a tirade about his original system of play.

Of course, I'm not saying that this guy's tactics are not easy to use, but sometimes it's really not very suitable for our Lakers team, many of this guy's tactics are actually very good for ordinary teams that don't have particularly strong stars, but a team like our Lakers is full of talent and stars, and it is not enough to manage the team only from a tactical level like him.

Think about why Phil Jackson was able to control superstars and achieve brilliant success, and the most important thing is that he knows how to use the team system to maximize the individual ability of superstars and transform them into a terrifying force to make each team member able to perform their own strengths.
