I arrived at Staples Arena early in the afternoon to prepare for the game against the Hawks, and I felt like I was getting back a lot of fitness because I didn't have any special training these days, but I still needed some training to get back my shooting feeling.

I found that my shooting touch was quite inconsistent, and when I was in good shape, I could ignore the defense and shoot a lot of difficult shots, but sometimes there would be a sudden fire break, and even if the opponent gave me space to shoot, I might hit the iron continuously, and I was always looking for the cause of this problem.

Because I came very early, there were not too many people in the arena, but fortunately, the shooting coach also came early, so I pulled him to do a series of shooting training for me, and one of the most important training focuses on shooting after the confrontation.

He would hold a huge shield-like mat in his hand, and then I would have to fight against him while looking for a chance to shoot, which was a very physically demanding form of training, and the shooting coach was not bad, he was also over 1.9 meters tall, and he would try his best to fight me every time.

This kind of training is done in groups of 10 balls, a total of 5 sets, and I take a break between each set to do some general shooting drills, such as catching and shooting.

But the strange thing is that I find that I don't have a very good sense of rhythm in catching and shooting many times, I don't know if it's related to my shooting action, Kobe's body is too light, I feel that I like to jump very high before shooting every shot, in fact, this will greatly reduce my shooting speed to some extent.

So I started to make some adjustments to my catch-and-shoot after consulting with my shooting coach, changing the previous pursuit of shooting height to the appropriate pursuit of shooting speed, of course, any change will be a little difficult at the beginning, when I deliberately want to change the shooting action, sometimes I can't find my own shooting rhythm.

Of course, I can always shoot a lot of difficult shots when I am training, which should be related to my good physical condition, my core strength is strong enough, so even if my body has lost its balance when shooting many times, I can still maintain the stability of the shooting point to a large extent, which ensures the stability of my shooting.

This is my strength, but I also have some shooting disadvantages, that is, my shooting is more diverse, most of the places on the court I can shoot and hit shots, but my shooting is not so perfect, as I mentioned before, the instability of the shooting touch, you can score crazy goals for a period of time, or you can not find the feeling at all for a certain period of time, I think this is actually quite normal.

After all, many years later, Stephen, the super shooter who brought the small-ball era to the top. Curry will also have a lot of crazy iron playing, especially after encountering more powerful defense and physical confrontation in the playoffs, his hand stability is a little worse than Klay or Durant, but his shooting explosiveness is really terrifying, even if he has missed 10 three-pointers in a row, you don't dare to let him shoot, because once he finds his touch, it is likely to give you more than 5 consecutive three-pointers in a quarter.

So the problem for pitchers is not whether they can shoot, but they must always maintain a strong fighting spirit, and still have the courage to continue to shoot when you encounter a cold hand, you have to believe that you will always find your touch, and then score consecutive points to recover the previous disadvantage.

Of course, most of my scoring this season has actually come from singles, and my scoring and assists ratio must have been quite low, except for a few passes that Shaq passed back to me that could be counted as assists, other passes from defenders generally did not convert into assists for me.

This is actually mainly due to my shooting habits, when I receive a pass from a teammate I don't have the habit of shooting at the first time, of course, I have cultivated my sense of this aspect, but the change of habit may not be a matter of one or two days, I need to find some shooting rhythm through dribbling before shooting, and my offensive means are relatively rich, there is no need to score only by shooting.

Even though I'm just in the NBA, and even though I'm only 18 years old, the energy contained in it is terrifying, and not only do I barely feel tired, but I'm always filled with a strong desire to prove myself, to rush inside and dunk.

As time went on, his teammates appeared in the arena one after another, and Shaq was really the laziest one in our team, he should be the last one in the team to reach the stadium, and he didn't do any pre-game training, even the warm-up exercise was just very so-so running around the court twice, and then he lay lazily on the chair on the sidelines, not knowing what he was thinking.

Seeing him so relaxed, he must not pay attention to the opponent's interior line at all, but I remember that this season's Eagles team has a mobile hot pot vending man Uncle Mutombomu who is about 2 or 2 meters tall and has extremely strong defensive ability, can he really ignore the other party?

And there is also a star inside line in the opposing team, that is, Leitner, a college player who once participated in the Barcelona Olympics with the Dream Team, at that time there was actually some controversy over the choice of Shaq or Leitner, although Lightner beat Shaq to enter the Dream Team at that time, but later as the same draft player, Shaq and Leitner still opened a gap in the NBA.

Shaq is the champion, and Leitner is the eye, in fact, Leitner's strength is not weak, with nearly 20 points and 10 rebounds in the first season, but it is still a lot worse than O'Neal's godly performance.

Several years have passed, and now Shaq has become one of the four major centers, and even some media have counted Shaq as one of the top 50 superstars in NBA history, but Leitner has gradually become obscure, and the gap is naturally mainly due to the talent gap, Shaq's physical talent and smart brain, so that he can become a historical-level interior ruler without much effort.

As long as it is the Lakers' home stadium Staples this season, there is no one that is not full, the Lakers' influence in the NBA is too terrifying, plus a super inside team like Shaq, the team itself has some quasi-All-Star level players, and even rookies like me who have just entered the league and already have good potential to play, this season's Lakers team is indeed worth looking forward to by fans.

Our current record is 4-1, if our good momentum continues, this season can at least 55 wins, even 60 wins is not impossible, last season's Chicago Bulls directly created a 72-10 horror regular season record after Jordan's return, and in the playoffs, they also blocked the killing Buddha and killed the Buddha, and won the championship very easily, and now they are still aiming for the championship as the defending champions, if we can finally break out of the West, Then if nothing else, the finals will still face this terrifying dynasty team.

Whether Shaq and I can interrupt Jordan's winning streak is indeed quite exciting, but it seems a little too early to think about these things, and I should still not be as conceited as the original Kobe, and even completely ignore Jordan.

In fact, I know that in Jordan's last two seasons with the Bulls, the league is already looking for Jordan's successor. Stern was very successful in promoting Jordan and the NBA to the whole world, but with Jordan's aging and even leaving, the influence of the NBA was weakened a lot all of a sudden, especially when Jordan retired for the first time in 93, the entire Wall Street stock market was even greatly affected because of Jordan's departure, which shows how terrifying Jordan's influence is.

When Jordan returned to the NBA, he received an annual salary of more than 30 million, which is even higher than all the salary caps of the entire team, but the NBA provided Jordan with such privileges, because he is the basketball god and the supreme existence in this league.

And what I want to challenge now is such a supreme existence, the royal power is not eternal, no matter how powerful the dynasty is, there will be an end of the day, and no matter how powerful the player is, there will be a day when he will grow old, and at this time, the 18-year-old Kobe Bryant will be the next person to finish Jordan's scepter, even if I am not even the best among our players, but in many ways I am very similar to Jordan.

We have the same height, similar size, similar basketball skills, well, I admit that I am still constantly watching Jordan's past videos and slowly stealing all kinds of basketball skills from him, although these skills are not fully integrated for me now, but I believe that one day they will become the sharpest weapons in my hands.

The game against the Hawks started at 8 p.m., and the fans in Staples Arena welcomed their home team into the stadium with terrifying enthusiasm, especially when Shaq was called by name, and the cheers were the loudest, and to my surprise, when Kobe Bryant was called. Bryant's name was met with a lot of cheers, which was a little bit of a heartening thing, and it was clear that I was still getting the fans to do in this arena and that would be the motivation for me to keep going.

I sat on the bench again after the game started, and although head coach Silver Fox Harris had slightly improved my playing time, the old man seemed to be at odds with me, and he was said to be a player who didn't like to use rookies very much, which was not the same as Pistons head coach Larry '04. Brown is very similar, and Kobe Bryant's playing time has indeed been greatly reduced by him this season.

I know that even if the management puts pressure on him this season, it can't change the fate of being a substitute player for most of the time, unless there is a wide range of injuries to the main players, but that's not what I want to see, I want the entire Lakers team to finish this season with a healthy and complete state, achieve a better regular season record, and face every opponent in the West or even the East with home-court advantage.

So I silently watched Shaq kill all sides on the field, in the face of Uncle Mu's full resistance, he seemed more and more excited, compared to Camby's style of play of avoiding Shaq and then looking for an opportunity to risk Shak, Uncle Mu obviously prefers to face Shaq head-on, after all, he still has the advantage of height and arm length.

But in the face of absolute power, Uncle Mu's advantages have become gone, especially today's Shaq is more excited than usual, just like the game where he and I bet to score 30 points in the half, he showed the terrifying power in his body at the beginning, back hit and turned and dunked, knocked over Uncle Mu dunk, air relay dunk, and even a ball was a one-stop dunk after grabbing the rebound.

Although I had seen Shaq's similar performance in the video in my previous life, it was a bit beyond imagination to see it with my own eyes at a distance of less than a few dozen meters on the spot, his dribbling speed was comparable to that of a defender, and even in the process of dribbling, there was a back dribble to bypass the defender, and I was stunned off the court.

The whole Staples was boiling over the ball, and I could even hear the MVP shouts coming out of the crowd, not much, but they were.

I don't know why the Eagles have not adopted the trap tactics that other teams will adopt against Shaq, but insisted on letting Uncle Mu defend alone, and the more this happens, the stronger Shak's desire to attack will naturally be, Uncle Mu has obviously tried his best, but in the face of a big shark that has killed red-eyed, he still seems a little powerless.

However, Shaq's crazy offense once again led to a particularly obvious problem for our Lakers this season, that is, the relative tear between the inside and the outside, because our guards do not have the kind of players who are particularly good at organization, and Shaq is also the existence of the end point rather than the team's operating center, and he can't become the offensive point of the whole team like Jokic, the interior fat man of the Diggers.

Because of this, the better Shak's offensive state is in many cases, the result is often a further abnormality in the outside play, compared with the unstoppable performance of Shak's inside, our two quasi-All-Star players on the outside are unable to fully play their strength.

This may also be related to the tactical focus of the Silver Fox Harris, the outside players most of the time become a Shaq to deliver cannonballs, they are responsible for dribbling the ball across the half court, and then hand the ball to Shaq, and then watch him go to the opponent's three or more people inside somersault, occasionally Shaq may pass some balls in the gap, and these outside players because they have too little time to touch the ball, there is no way to ensure the shooting rate, and the more they can't shoot, the stronger the opponent's interior shrink defense.

In this game, the Eagles adopted another defensive strategy, that is, to let Uncle Mu go one-on-one to defend Shaq, even if there is no way to completely limit Shak's power, but as long as he tries to consume Shak's physical strength, it is okay, and then it is to cut off Shak's connection with the outside, so that Shaq is addicted to the quagmire of individual singles, and the outside players will be strictly guarded against Shak, not allowing Shaq to pass the ball back to the outside players.

In this way, Shaq has completely become the end point of the Lakers' tactics, and the operation of the whole team has suddenly come to a standstill, so that the opponent's defensive intention has been achieved, and there is no problem for Shaq to play two or three quarters like this, but with Shaq's weight and physical fitness, Shaq will definitely have no strength to attack at all in the fourth quarter, and in this way, if the Lakers can't find the feeling of offense on the outside of the whole game, then such a Lakers team can't beat them.

I've figured out their plans, but I don't know if head coach Silver Fox Harris knows this, or if he doesn't want to make the appropriate changes even if he does.

In the final four minutes of the first quarter, I was finally substituted, but Shaq didn't have much energy at this point, which meant I had to take on the offensive load on my own in the second team.

At this time, the score of the two sides was tied at 20, although Shaq scored 14 points on the inside, but we only hit two three-pointers on 2-of-10 shooting from the outside, so the score between the two sides was basically not pulled apart.

The other party saw that Shaq was replaced and replaced Uncle Mu, and I didn't know any of the players who came up from their bench, but it was obvious that the other party had studied my attacking style before the game.

This surprised me a bit, after all, as a rookie player who has just played a few games, I was still a little flattered that the opponent would give me a targeted defensive strategy, but it also meant that this game was definitely not going to be easy.

Sure enough, the other party knows very well that I like to hold the ball and play alone, so they actually adopted a local multi-person package tactic similar to joint defense, the NBA in this era is logically non-existent, but I think their defensive strategy is very similar to joint defense, no matter where I want to break through or single, I will quickly be covered like a pocket by other players who come to help defend, and their interior players will even come out to make a big delay, completely ignoring the possibility that I may hang the inside line.

However, with the interference of their long arms on the inside, it was difficult for me to smoothly hoist the ball into the inside, this kind of defense is really disgusting, it is completely aimed at my individual singles, after all, I don't have the ability to break the bag like Jordan at this time, and in the end I can only pass most of the ball back to my other teammates.

However, these teammates of mine are really a little unreliable, and the Lakers' starters are good enough, which means that it is difficult for bench players to have the money to sign particularly powerful roles, and there is almost no one on the bench who has the ability to shoot independently, except for me, who has a strong ability to finish and score.

In the final three minutes, we were beaten 10-2 and we were 8 points behind at 24-32 at the end of the first quarter.

However, the coach didn't criticize my performance in the middle of the quarter, after all, he could see how good the opponent was for my defense, and because of the limited individual ability of our substitutes, even if I could pass the ball quickly, I was not too sure to score with their finishing ability.

Section 2 We have to make some changes.
