Chapter 108: Early Entry into Garbage Time

"I saw those memories of me in your previous life, and I have to say that seeing about my future in advance is really a rather strange experience, and it's really hard to imagine that there will be so many ups and downs in my career."

"Yes, but now that you know that, it means that it probably won't happen again, and we can make a different history together, not just five championship rings, not just a regular season MVP, more than two Finals MVPs, maybe we can do better because you can learn a lot from those things."

"yes, no one's life can be restarted, now I'm like, how to say, that feeling is too hard to describe, to be honest I don't really want to know what my future looks like, for me, every day is a new beginning, I don't want myself or you to be affected by Kobe Bryant in that time and space."

"You make sense, you or I are not Kobe Bryant in that time and space anyway, we must be able to create a completely different future, we can forget about it, and just do what we want."

"On the other hand, you've added some concepts and techniques that seem to be different from our time, and they seem to be working pretty well."

"After all, in my previous life, I was still good at nutrition and body protection, and then after coming here, I also combined a lot of your past childhood memories, mainly the skills in training and the process of learning basketball, and then I combined them a little to try to find the most suitable training method, which proved to be quite useful."

"The good news is that my soul power is growing, but the bad news is that it seems to be difficult for me to fully regain control of this body, and I don't know what the problem is."

"I'll think of a way, but I don't know what you think of the recent situation that Jessica and I have encountered."

"Jessica, I have to say that your vision is still very good, of course it is definitely not as good as mine."

"Do you mean Vanessa of your choice on another plane?"

"Of course, Vanessa must be better than Jessica!"

"Maybe, but I still like Jessica a little bit, it's a problem, the types of girls we like don't seem to be the same, do you want to fall in love with two girls at the same time in the future?"

"Okay, let's not think about those things that are there or not, you just asked me what I think of what you and Jessica have encountered during this time, I can only tell you that my mind is messed up, you know that I haven't taken a culture class for a long time, so I'm not very good at analyzing and sorting out these complex situations, I can only use my intuition to judge some things, if you want to hear it, I'll tell you."

"Of course I want to hear it, as the so-called authorities are fascinated, bystanders are clear, many things you see in my subconscious should be a little more clear and thorough than when I experienced it myself, or you can see many things and aspects that I can't see, so you must tell me what your thoughts are."

"To be honest, a lot of what you and Jessica have experienced has been done beyond the scope of my imagination, don't you feel that all of this is like a dream, when you wake up from the dream you don't know if you will remember it all, you don't know if you are sleepwalking, in short, it is difficult for you to control everything around you, as if you want to grasp something, but you can't grasp the feeling, just like that trance fate, I once believed that I can fully control my own destiny, It wasn't until after all this happened, after seeing me in another time and space from the memories of your previous life, that I really had a new perspective on such things as fate. ”

"Have you even come to believe in such a thing as fate? But speaking of which, this feeling does feel a bit like a dream, and I have indeed had a lot of strange dreams for a while, it is really hard to imagine what kind of special meaning those dreams will have, I used to think that some dreams are just dreams, but then I slowly recalled the content of some of these dreams, only to realize that everything is not as simple as I imagined. ”

"What did you find?"

"Some dreams may just be ordinary dreams that appear because of my daily life, but some dreams are definitely not simple ordinary dreams, they are some omens, they are also some instructions, they are something that can tell me the truth."

"And what truth do you learn from these dreams?"

"I can't say clearly, those dreams are so vague, but sometimes I have a delusion, I feel that I have understood what the dreams tell me, but slowly I will find that I am still too naΓ―ve, these dreams are not so easy to interpret, so I gradually like meditation, and thanks to meditation, I can communicate with you now."

"Well, your heart is full of secrets that are deeply hidden. In your previous life, you must have been a person full of imagination, or you had a lot of secrets hidden in your subconscious in your previous life, and these dreams are the first alternative to the part of your heart knot that is difficult to unravel, because you can't face your past head-on, so you completely hide them in the depths of your heart, but you can't completely forget them, and they will appear in your mind in the form of dreams at some point. ”

"Is that really the case?"

"Okay, it's almost halftime, so you better focus on the game first, and of course if you can go straight into garbage time in the third quarter, we might be able to get more talking time on the bench."

When I woke up from my meditative state, I realized that halftime was almost over, and the rest of the Lakers players were getting ready to walk out of the tunnel and head to the court.

After the start of the second half, the Pistons took the lead in attacking, and it seemed that the terrible state I showed at the end of the second quarter still left indelible traces in their hearts, so I think the way they looked at me at this time has changed a little, especially Grant Hill's eyes, he seemed so calm and calm before, as if nothing happened on the court could not make his emotions fluctuate in some way, but at this time I saw something else in his eyes, This meant that he didn't feel as calm as he used to be.

Grant Hill was still the first attack after the start of the second half, but I clearly felt that his whole spirit was not as high as in the first half, especially against my defence.

Although I didn't get into the game immediately after the start of the second half, because my mind was still unconsciously thinking about what Kobe Bryant's soul said to me at halftime, my attention was slightly distracted, and I didn't know if Grant Hill noticed this.

His first attack chose the back-to-back singles, and with a certain height and reach, he can indeed choose the offensive method in this way, and through the video analysis of the game during this time, I have improved some of the details of my back-to-back defense in the low post, and will no longer let the opponent easily catch my defensive holes.

Of course, if the opponent's shooting feel is good enough, and the height and arm span are higher than mine, it is still difficult for me to really interfere with their shooting, and there is no way to do better at this.

Glider Drexler hit a ball like this against my defense against the Rockets, and I was so impressed with that shot that I have since studied that set of offensive rounds many times and gradually realized a better defensive stance to make up for my previous defensive shortcomings.

Grant Hill likes to confuse defenders with his arm and foot feints, and although I found this out from the first half against him, I still can't completely dismiss his feints, because his movements are very rhythmic, and I can perfectly predict the truth of his every move.

The only thing I can think of is to stop his feints at all, whether his moves are real or fake, I'm unmoved, just keep my defensive position and don't lose it.

However, after seeing that I didn't eat his feints, Grant Hill immediately changed his offensive strategy, first with his back to me, and then with the help of a turn feint, after seeing that I didn't react, he then made a real turn, and then followed up with a step-back jumper.

It's a smooth process, and I don't have any way to stop him, or even interfere, and whether the ball goes in depends on how he feels at this point.

Obviously after the half-time break, Grant Hill still had a good hand, and the step-back shot cut through the air in a beautiful arc and hit the basket hollowly, earning a cheer from the home fans.

I smiled and shook my head, not frustrated that I didn't defend the ball, but thought to myself, the better the game has just begun, the better Grant Hill is the more it will motivate me to fight at this time, and I am going to beat him when he is also in great shape.

I didn't rush to take over the scoring task after the start of the second half, because usually at the beginning of the first half and after the start of the second half, Shaq will have a period of outburst when he is fully recovered, and I think there should be no exception today, so it would be better to have Shaq attack first, so that the Pistons' defense can now focus on Shaq.

The Pistons didn't do a very good job of defending Shaq today, although they sent a lot of defensive players on me and Shaq in the second quarter, but it didn't seem to be able to defend Shaq or completely defend me, of course, this situation has happened to many teams, and it's not that the Pistons are a team that has a headache with our OK combination.

Either of us has the ability to force a score in a multi-player situation, and sometimes it doesn't make much difference whether we have more men defending us or a few less people defending us.

After receiving the ball in the penalty area, Shaq held the ball high in the air with one hand, and the center player of the Pistons defending him desperately tried to get Shak's ball, but Shaq was unmoved.

This time in our Lakers' offensive round, the Pistons didn't seem to plan to trap Shaq, this defensive tactic was the same as at the beginning of the first quarter, I didn't figure out how their head coach thought, it has proven that the tactics they used at the beginning of the first quarter were quite unsuccessful, so why use this defensive tactic.

Of course, even if they play a multi-player package, they may not be able to defend it, but at least for Shaq, who felt a little bad about his free throws today, even sending him to the free throw line is a good choice.

Shaq saw that there was no one around to wrap him, so he simply opened the way with a bully elbow, when I was alone with Shaq, I suffered from his elbow, the center of the Pistons team was not prepared, and he was directly elbowed by Shaq and fell to the ground, and even slid out several meters before stopping.

The referee decisively blew Shaq's offensive foul, I saw this attack in my eyes the whole time, Shaq's offensive action was a little too big, and it was obvious that the opponent's defense of his center was not a fake fall, who could fake a fall so similar, in the end, the whole person did not stop sliding out for several meters, in the end, the power used by Shaq was too strong.

Shaq had an unhappy look on his face, but he should have understood that he was using too much force, so he just spread his hands to show a helpless look, and didn't say anything else.

The Pistons' counterattack came quickly, they should have thought that Shaq would reason with the referee after being whistled for an offensive foul, so there would be an opportunity, but this time Shaq couldn't help but didn't go to the referee for trouble, but returned to the defense very quickly.

And Shaq is also particularly cunning, he deliberately followed behind the Pistons' fast-break players, made the Pistons players relax their vigilance, and then waited until he thought that our Lakers had no defenders on the inside and could drive directly into the empty basket, a huge slap fell from the sky.

As soon as the Pistons player's low hand to the basket was halfway up, a terrifying figure flew behind him, directly pressing the basketball on the rebound, which was a sturdy pegboard hat, who else could there be besides Shaq who could make such a terrifying appearance.

Shaq's huge body slammed into the poor Pistons player, sending him straight away, and this time the referee didn't blow the whistle, which meant it was a solid risk.

Well, the Pistons certainly didn't expect their fast-break to not succeed, but instead gave our Lakers a good opportunity to fight back, and Shaq didn't hesitate to pass the ball to me after completing the pegboard hat.

And I also launched a fast-break counterattack against the Pistons at the first time, compared to the players of this Pistons team, my speed and finishing ability under the basket are much stronger, and in fact, there are not many people who can block my breakthrough in the fast-break, and only Grant Hill can limit me in terms of speed and size in the Pistons.

Of course, at this time, he also saw me quickly holding the ball and pushing the counterattack, and he also qualified in advance on the offensive route that I might pass by, and his judgment of my offensive route was actually quite accurate, but the reason why my fast attack counterattack can have such a huge lethality, of course, is that I am also very adaptable in the counterattack, and in the face of different defensive blockades, I can use different offensive methods to complete this fast attack counterattack.

Grant Hill's defense was quite tough, and it was obvious that he was preparing to stop me directly, after all, if you foul me directly, you don't need to make free throws, but I saw his intentions and didn't slow down the impact.

Grant Hill underestimated my determination to attack the basket this time, even after he fouled me, he still couldn't stop me, my three steps were already up, my body was a little deformed after being pulled, but the desire for the basket made me burst out with unprecedented energy, and finally threw the ball near the free throw line after he fouled me.

With the sound of a crisp basketball passing through the net, there was a burst of exclamation from the surrounding Pistons' home court, and I clenched my fists and gritted my teeth, announcing with a low roar that I would dominate the game.

I saw Grant Hill bow his head in frustration, and his frustration made me feel more powerful in my body, and I was ready to completely break down the psychological defense of the Pistons players in this quarter, and completely defeat them.

With me making this free throw, our Lakers' lead is widening even further.

In the next offensive round, Grant Hill still held the ball from beyond the three-point line, but this time the Pistons began to use pick-and-roll tactics, and more than once, with the sole purpose of finding a good shot for several of their players who had a good three-point shooting percentage on the perimeter.

And the Pistons' biggest threat to us on the court now is Joe Dumas, although his footwork is not fast, but he has a lot of experience in playing, and there are few useless runs that waste physical energy on the court, and every run seems to be very accurate and deadly, and he can find the best opportunity to shoot and the best time to run.

As one of the main players of the Bad Boy Army, a two-time Pistons winning the game in the late '80s, you can never underestimate the quality of such a veteran, and no matter how good or bad he has been in the game, he could be a terrifying killer at any moment, throwing deadly three-pointers at you.

This time the Pistons' offense is revolving around Joe Dumas, but although I can already see that their tactical goal is to shoot three-pointers, I can't stop the Pistons' tactics, after all, they have already come up with the most powerful multi-person blocking tactics, plus Grant Hill's offensive threat is also huge, I can't let him go and go to make up for Joe Dumas.

In the end, the Pistons created a better open shooting opportunity for Joe Dumas through this more complex multi-person blocking and pick-and-roll strategy, and Joe Dumas did not live up to the expectations of his teammates, steadily shooting an open three-pointer, so that the Pistons and our Lakers slightly narrowed the point difference.

Although the Pistons' three-point shooting relieved them a little bit of pressure, the difference between them and our Lakers was still huge, and then our Lakers launched a new round of rapid offense.

As the tacit understanding between me and Shaq is getting higher and higher, the Pistons team has no way to parry the two of us in turn, Shaq alone can easily be under the bag of two or three people of the Pistons team, and squeeze into the inside line to dunk, the players of this Pistons team are all biased in their ordinary weight and strength, mainly some players who are stronger on the outside, and they themselves suffer more when defending Shaq.

Coupled with the special excitement of Shaq today, it was the kind of extraordinary excitement, that is, the muscle reaction speed was much faster than usual, in this case, the Pistons were more unlucky today, because I was also quite explosive today, and I had made up my mind to take the suspense out of this game and enter garbage time sooner.

The Pistons can only continue to foul Shaq, as soon as Shaq gets the ball, several people rush up and hug him, so that he doesn't even have a chance to start, seeing this situation I know it's time for me to take over the game, with my close to 90% free throw shooting rate, the Pistons don't dare to send me to the free throw line easily, because then it's completely giving me points, isn't it.

The Pistons also seemed to be a little bit careless about my defense, Grant Hill had a chance to limit me in terms of athleticism and height, but I had a particularly good hand today, even against his defense, I had a high chance of shooting, and my breakthrough speed was a little faster than usual, and the most important thing was that I dribbled faster than usual, since I watched Magic Johnson's dribbling before the game, I started to try to add some of this skill to my dribbling.

After optimizing the dribble, I found that I can indeed have a stronger dribble explosiveness in the game, especially in terms of power, which will be faster and more lethal than before.

Grant Hill was able to barely limit me in the first half, but now that I've mastered this new way of dribbling, the speed of the basketball and the speed at which I change direction have increased, which has caused Grant Hill to start to lose track of my pace and dribble, and the result is that he can't prevent my breakaway.

And when Grant Hill couldn't defend me, it was difficult to juggle Shaq and my defense at the same time, which made them take care of one or the other, constantly allowing me to score successfully, and on the other hand, they didn't dare to relax their defense against Shaq.

In fact, Grant Hill has done his best to defend me several times, but at this time I feel a little too good, and I am indeed no longer afraid to shoot after completely crazy, and the more decisive and confident I am when I shoot, the higher the actual shooting percentage will be.

With less than 7 minutes left in the third quarter, our Lakers had already led the Pistons by as many as 18 points, and seeing that the difference was about to reach more than 20 points, the head coach of the Pistons could only call a timeout helplessly.

To be honest, with their current lineup and the actual state of today's players, it is completely impossible to win our Lakers team, especially when I and Shaq are invincible at the same time, let alone them, even the Chicago Bulls led by Michael Jordan are here, but I am afraid that there is a great chance that it will be difficult to get out.

I have this confidence now, because when the heat hits all over my body, I already know what kind of power I have, and this feeling is so real, that kind of thing that is about to swell and burn like a flame, it makes me feel like a different person, a superman, a person who can do anything.

I don't know if Kobe's soul was able to feel it at this time, but since I've experienced it, I've realized how great my potential really is.

During the pause, Shaq began to make all kinds of jokes again, he looked quite relaxed, swept away the gloom of the previous few away games, probably also thought that he would be able to return to Los Angeles soon, he could go to his party again, and I don't know if he is also going to release an album himself, in which the music video is dedicated to recording the weird dances he invented.

Of course, there may still be many people who like Shaq's style very much, like a huge dynamic meatball, full of power, and at the same time so funny, he is simply a natural comedian, sometimes I really think that playing basketball is a bit of a waste of his acting talent.

Whether it's a singer or an actor, this guy can become a superstar.

Head coach Silver Fox Harris was also more relaxed at this time, and he directly told us to work harder and directly break the will of the Pistons, so that we could end the three-game road trip with a garbage time and prepare to return to Los Angeles.

I sat down on the bench and took a deep breath, building up my energy for the next lethal blow for the Pistons.

After the timeout, the Pistons replaced the interior player who did well in the second half of the first quarter, a six-foot-nine inch forward player, and it was obviously a joke to let him defend Shaq, but he had a pretty good three-point shot on the offensive end, so the purpose of replacing him was clear, which was to shoot as many three-pointers as possible on the offensive end.

Of course, for the Pistons at this time, this may also be a helpless way, after all, in the face of such a murderous me and Shaq, they have no other way than to bet on three-point shots, anyway, they will lose the game, it is better to give it a go.

Of course, their strategy may have some effect in normal times, but unfortunately today is not normal, and today I and Shaq are different from us in normal times, and our goal today is the massacre.

In the first offensive round after the timeout, the Pistons' pass was cut off by me, and their new players obviously hadn't been able to get into the game, and my nerves were in a state of high excitement, and I was able to find an opportunity to cut off their pass at a breakneck speed, and rushed out like a gust of wind, heading straight for the Pistons' basket.

The players of the Pistons team are directly stupid, and even have completely given up the idea of returning to defense, they should also know that even if they return to defense, they can't keep up with my speed at all, my acceleration is extremely fast, this is also the effect of my special training after sprinting during this time, I am now very explosive when I accelerate the sprint, and the sprint from the back court to the front court is like a lightning, almost in the blink of an eye.

One moment the Pistons just made a mistake in passing, and the next moment I was already holding the ball and directly slamming it with one arm, and I didn't do those more fancy dunk moves anymore, but completed the fast-break counterattack with a relatively ordinary dunk very efficiently.

At this time, the home fans of the Pistons rang out with bursts of boos, and I don't know whether they were booing me or their home team players, anyway, our Lakers' lead has come to 20 points, as long as we work harder and widen the difference to about 30 points before the end of the third quarter, then the fourth quarter is basically complete garbage time, and I can also take some time to enter a meditative state, and then have some more communication with Kobe's soul.

Speaking of Kobe's attitude also surprised me very much, it seems that he does not feel resentful at all because I occupy his body, on the contrary, his attitude is very kind, maybe Kobe is really not as difficult as some people think, as long as you can meet his high requirements, then he will still have a better attitude towards you.

On the contrary, Kobe Bryant feels like a good brother and a good teacher, although he may be very strict with you, but it is actually for your own good, if you can work as hard as he expects, then you will find that Kobe Bryant is a very good friend, an extremely important good partner on the way forward.

Now the relationship between me and Kobe Bryant is more like a brother or a twin-like relationship, maybe we can feel like we are a pair of twins, although we control a body together, it may be a little unaccustomed at first, but it feels quite good to have a good brother silently supporting you and helping you.

Of course, Kobe's attitude is so good, maybe my performance has indeed met or even exceeded his expectations, maybe he will find that my performance in the past half a season has not made him Kobe. Bryant's name is dusty, maybe that's enough, he's so paranoid, so eager to succeed, as long as he can continue to achieve success and move towards the goal he desires, he will feel very happy and satisfied.

With the completion of my steal and fast break dunk, the atmosphere of the Pistons has dropped to the freezing point, and the Pistons fans in the arena no longer have any other voices except for the occasional burst of boos, and the expressions of the players on the Pistons court at this time are also quite ugly, and their eyes have gradually lost their light and no hope of victory.

This is also largely reflected in their on-court behavior, although it has only been a time out or two to come back, but this timeout has not had the effect it should have had at all, and the Pistons players have started to become scattered on the court, they have been a team that has relied more on tactical movement to attack, and now once the defeat between the players spreads, the form is even more rapid decline.

Although Grant Hill, who is opposite me, still maintains a relatively high enthusiasm for the game at this time, I can still see some confusion in his eyes, you must know that the Pistons' winning rate this season is close to seventy, and this winning rate can already occupy the top four or even the top three positions in the East, but it seems so vulnerable in the face of our Lakers, of course, the result of this game does not say anything, and we have met twice in the routine, And it's not very likely to meet in the playoffs.

On the one hand, our Lakers want to defeat the Rockets and Jazz to advance to the Finals, which I think is more likely, but at this time, the Pistons still want to defeat the Bulls led by Michael Jordan, and the difficulty is very high, although the Pistons nearly ten years ago have made Jordan and his Bulls lose in the playoffs for many years, but now it is different, this Pistons team is no longer the champion team of the year, and the current championship team has become Jordan and his Bulls.

To be honest, the Pistons' lineup can achieve such a good record, which is really a bit unexpected to me, because in my opinion, their current lineup is a bit green, the old stars are too old, the young stars are too young, and Grant Hill has not reached the dominance of superstars, but seriously several outside shooters on their team are really good, especially in this era, a team has two three-point shooting rates of more than 40%, and four three-point shooting rates of more than 35%, This is already a very rare thing.

It's a pity that our Lakers team is too fierce on the offensive end today, and Shaq and I are simply unstoppable, so that the Pistons' outside shooters have fallen behind so much before they have time to play, and they don't shoot enough three-pointers on the outside today, not resolute enough, to be honest, when facing Shaq, they should really bet on three-pointers earlier.

However, few teams in this era will use the three-point shot as a regular tactic, and these players with a high three-point shooting percentage do not have the ability to shoot three-pointers anytime and anywhere like the Curry and Klay brothers, who often need complex tactical positioning to find the shooting feeling, so it is no wonder that they are not surprised.

In the next three or four minutes, our Lakers played a small climax for the Pistons, directly widening the difference to 32 points, and there were still more than two minutes left before the end of the third quarter.

After Shaq completed a violent dunk, Shaq voluntarily fouled the Pistons players, and then head coach Silver Fox Harris called a timeout, which meant that our starters would be off work three quarters early.

To be honest, I don't think there have been many openings in the third quarter this season, but this game really showed the power of the terrible ok combination of me and Shaq, and from now on, the teams in the league will need to be more serious about how to defend us.

I sat on the bench and it was very relaxing, I was always very uncomfortable when I was on the bench at the beginning of the season, but now that I've been in the starting line-up so many games, I start to feel like sometimes it's good to be on the bench, and you can see a lot of things that you can't see on the court.

It's a strange feeling, sometimes you're so engrossed in the game that you ignore a lot of other things, which is probably why it's so important to watch the video after the game.

Of course, it is also very important to learn on the field, both on and off the pitch you have to maintain a strong curiosity and desire to learn, every day will be a new challenge for you, you can learn different knowledge and experience from each opponent and each game, which will play a vital role in my growth.

After the timeout, the Lakers made a full bench switch, and the Pistons reused the same lineup they used to chase points at the end of the first quarter, with Grant Hill leading four bench players on the court.

It's just that the score they fell behind at this time was not so easy to catch up, a full 32 points, but I am afraid that it will be difficult for them to reach this score for the rest of the third quarter and the entire fourth quarter.

I also slowly closed my eyes, no longer cared about the situation on the court, but entered a meditative state, and the other Lakers players around me were also surprised by my state, at first when I meditated, they would wake me up from time to time, and then I told them that I was just closing my eyes, and they stopped bothering me.
