Amy accompanied me on a nearby hillside while riding while watching the rising sun in the distance, remembering that even in my previous life, I didn't have a few chances to watch the sun rise like this, this scenery is really beautiful, it would be nice to have a set of high-pixel shooting equipment, after all, mobile phones in this era still don't have a camera function.

But maybe in the offseason I can take Jessica abroad to have some fun, and when the time comes, I can buy a set of top-of-the-line camera equipment and make memories of the sights and attractions around the world.

The character of the girl Amy is really cheerful and generous, maybe many American girls are this kind of sunny character, when we rode to the top of the hill, we just found a small pavilion that is very suitable for viewing, to be honest, this kind of pavilion is the first time I have seen, and the oriental country where I was in my previous life has a completely different style, but it seems that it is not the style of the United States, but it is more like the style of civilization near the Mediterranean, such as ancient Greece.

I don't know much about these things, but because I saw a lot of ancient cultural relics from all over the world in Jessica's house, I couldn't help but be a little curious about this kind of pavilion that looks a little special.

However, when I really looked at the pavilion and realized that it might have been standing in this place for many years, I turned my attention back to Amy, and she seemed to see that I had some questions to ask her, and her eyes seemed to tell me that she would tell me what she knew.

"Amy, has this little pavilion been in this place for many years, I don't think it exists alone, it should be part of some larger building, why don't you see any traces of other buildings nearby?"

Amy scratched her head slightly, and seemed to be seriously thinking about the question I had raised, and when she looked at the quaint pavilion several times, she said to me:

"To be honest, I don't usually pay attention to this pavilion, but if I look at it, it should have existed since I can remember, and I can vaguely remember that when I was very young, I used to play here with my family, and it seemed that there was indeed a small park on top of this hill, and I don't know why there is nothing left here now except this pavilion."

"It's a strange thing, indeed, but I'm not an expert in this area, just a casual look, but it's so empty and desolate around here."

"Well, not many people are coming to this summit now, but it's a rare place to watch the sunrise nearby, and if only you could join me and my friend's adventure club."

My pupils dilated slightly, and I hesitated for a moment when I heard the words Adventure Club come out of Amy's mouth.

"I'm glad you invited me, but I probably don't have that much extra time to get involved in your club."

Amy didn't look unhappy when I said this, but quickly took out a pencil and a small notebook from the trunk of her bicycle.

"Actually, you don't need to come to our event every time, as long as you are willing to sign your name on this little book, if the next time you come to play in San Francisco, you can take some time to come to our club to have a look, those friends of mine will definitely like you very much."

I didn't answer Amy immediately, but smiled slightly, saying that it would be too cruel to refuse such a lovely little sister directly, and besides, her request was not too excessive, so I might as well agree to her.

At any time I took the little notebook in Amy's hand and signed Kobe Bryant on it. Bryant has a few big words, things like signatures actually have muscle memory, even if I haven't specifically practiced, what Kobe's font was in the past, what kind of font I write now will be.

I saw Amy laughing happily, as happy as a child about 20 years old, and I smiled in response, and deep down I was actually grateful to her for letting me have such a relaxing morning.

But there are always feasts in the world, happy times are always short-lived, Amy seems to have some things to go to a relative's house, she left me her home phone, I also left her my mobile phone number, and I told her to go to the NBA game venue in the afternoon, and then call me again, I will provide her and her friends with a free ticket for today's game.

Amy is very happy, she and her friends are the kind of children who like sports very much, which is really a good thing, and I have to say that the sports participation rate of the American people is really still the best in the world.

I decided to buy today's tickets for Amy and her friends out of my own pocket, because the Lakers' game is really popular this season, so I really can't get many votes from the team, plus I didn't ask the team in advance, and the last time I asked my agent to help Jessica get a ticket, he looked very embarrassed, I really can't figure out how this guy is always thinking about such trivial things, so I don't bother this guy anymore, so it's easier for me to buy tickets out of my own pocket.

After seeing off the girl Amy, I wandered around the neighborhood on my mountain bike alone, and now that I was less than half an hour's drive from the main city of San Francisco, I decided to return the mountain bike to the hotel and then visit the city of San Francisco.

San Francisco is a thriving city, home to Silicon Valley, the world's most famous hub for high-tech businesses, so the city feels a little like Houston, but the people who live in it have a slightly different personality.

It's hard to describe this difference in words, just like if you travel from your home city to a different city, you can feel the different feelings that the people in that city bring to you, and the difference may be from their accent, it may be their eating habits, it may be the way they walk, it may be the difference in their body size or appearance, or even the subtle differences in mannerisms, that is, it will make you think that they are people with different personality habits.

Of course, this difference doesn't matter whether it's right or wrong, each city has its own unique cultural temperament, especially for people who come to visit, if you like the people and things in the city, you can stay longer, if you don't like it, it's good to leave early, and for an NBA player like me, life is flying between different cities, and there are many extra opportunities to understand and feel the different feelings that different cities bring to people.

But even though San Francisco is a really beautiful and charming city, with a special magic that makes you fall in love with it, I couldn't stay in it long because the city also has a pretty strong NBA team, so I told myself I had to get to the stadium earlier.

It's almost become a habit of mine, and I'll be in the stadium a few hours early to practice my game, regardless of whether the team will train before the game starts, after all, I've been spending a lot of time with Jessica, so I don't have a lot of time left for basketball, so I can't afford to spend more energy playing around.

It was my first year in the NBA and it was a very pivotal period for me, at least in the first few games, and I got the stats from head coach Silver Fox Harris about my first 10 games.

The stats show that I am averaging 19.5 minutes per game, shooting 7 of 13 shots per game, averaging 17 points, 2 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game, shooting more than 50% from the field, and not very good from three-point range, only 31%, but compared to the generally not high three-point shooting rate in this era, my three-point shooting rate is quite acceptable.

In fact, there have been several games where I have been very hot and even have more than 20 points, but the Silver Fox Harris is extremely strict with my playing time, even though my shooting percentage is extremely good among outside players, and this excellent performance has been maintained for many games in a row, but he still does not want to increase my playing time.

Even if I keep telling myself not to worry about this, all I have to do is to keep working hard and keep proving my strength with performance, but in fact I am still quite sad in my heart, maybe in a few games I can't help but go to the Silver Fox Harris to have a good talk, at least to let him know that I am very eager for playing time.

As always, there weren't many people on the court, but it was interesting to note that there was a player on the Golden State Warriors' side who came a little earlier than me.

When I got closer, I noticed that this guy seemed a little familiar, by the way, wasn't this guy Sprewell, the madman who later worked with Garnett on the Timberwolves?

I think he seemed to be a 1992 draft player, so this should be his fifth season, I didn't expect this guy to be so focused on training, but it was also at this time that he was at the peak of his personal strength, averaging nearly 25 points per game, which was the first scoring point for this Warriors team.

Although there are several good teammates in the team, they are either very old or have only been in the league for a year or two, and only Sprewell is really in the prime of his game.

I still had the urge to go to him for heads-up, but then I resisted it, thinking that instead of focusing on these competitive heads-up, it would be better to devote more energy to the training of basic basketball skills.

In fact, after watching it for a while, I found that this guy's training intensity is really not high, and his dribbling and shooting movements are very distinctive, and many times it is difficult for people who defend him to judge his accurate shooting timing.

I carefully observed his various movements, in my opinion, the observation of the opponent's technical movements is a very important thing, the basketball game is not only a competition of physical strength or bravery, more often than not, basketball IQ is also very important, and the ability to observe teammates and opponents is also an important part of basketball IQ.

As the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is the only way to survive a hundred battles, and I need to quickly learn more things from my various opponents, so that my skills and mind can be enriched faster.

And the training process is not static, and it is not just a simple repetition of shooting and dribbling, otherwise why is there a lot of hard-working people in this world, but there are very few people who can become the top basketball stars.

I mentioned before that in addition to the so-called physical talent, a more important part of the talent to become a top star is the ability to learn, which determines the degree to which you can learn and improve in the same training time, whether it is from the usual basic skills training to the accumulation of formal game experience, these are important learning processes.

I'll learn Jordan's shooting, Iverson's dribbling, but I'm not just learning their movements, I'm going to learn their soul of movement, and make some adjustments based on my own physical gifts to find a way that suits me better.

In fact, my efficiency in the past ten games since the beginning of this season is quite high, even far better than the real Kobe's statistics, but I am not satisfied and complacent.

The reason why I can be better than Kobe Bryant's data at the same time is more because of the accumulation of experience in my previous life, it is unfair to compare my soul experience in my previous life with Kobe Bryant, who has just turned 18 years old, I am performing well now, but it does not mean that I can still get more improvement in the future.

In fact, many rookie players who performed well in the first year will encounter something called the rookie wall, the reason for this situation is that with the increase in the number of regular games, the fatigue of the players themselves makes the rookie players who have not experienced such a high-intensity game before gradually lack physical fitness, and if you perform well in the early stage, there will be more opponents who will study your game video, so as to find out your shortcomings, and start to attack you more against your weaknesses in the game.

I'm playing less than 20 minutes now, so the efficiency seems to be pretty good, but I can't simply convert the game time to the stats, because when I play more minutes, my game efficiency will definitely decrease, and now I'm mainly on the bench.

And there aren't many players on the bench who will compete with me for the right to shoot, and when my role gradually gets better, when I gradually connect with the main players, my shot percentage will drop a lot, especially considering that Shaq also has a strong desire to attack.

In fact, in the previous games, the issue of the ball between me and Shaq has already appeared, which is also a problem that I must consider and deal with in the next games, how to balance the offensive focus between me and Shaq, of course, this is probably also a problem that Silver Fox Harris needs to consider.

On the other hand, the defensive intensity I faced on the bench was not high enough, and there were a few games in the past when the opponent started to press me at high intensity in the half or in multiple packs, my performance dropped a lot, which is enough to prove that my current individual ability to break bags is insufficient.

I was thinking about today's training while practicing, and even many times thinking about the components of thinking was greater than the components of practice, and I imagined in my mind that there were two or three people from the other side to encircle me, and I also thought about the situation when the other party sent the strongest individual defense ability to defend me.

Eventually, I realized that if I wanted to drive the overall offensive rhythm of the team, then I had to sacrifice some of my stats and scoring opportunities, because obviously when the opponent really has two or even three people defending you, when the opponent has sent the strongest individual defender against you, then what's the best option?

The normal logic must be to pass the ball to a teammate who has a better chance, but what should Kobe's logic be?

Yes, Kobe's first thought is definitely not to pass the ball, nor to throw the problem to his teammates, but to find a way to solve the problem by himself, even if it is much more difficult to solve the problem by himself than his teammates.

In fact, a lot of Kobe's basketball logic is abnormal, but when he uses this logic to play, it will become a normal logic at some point.

As Bryant said, if this difficult shot was made by an ordinary player, then he would have said that the ball was very unreasonable, and he should have passed the ball to a teammate with a better chance earlier.

But if the person who made the difficult shot was Kobe, then he would say that Kobe Bryant played like this, so this shot is a normal shot, a good opportunity, and since it is a good shot, there is no problem.

And at this moment, now that I have Kobe's physical talent, then I must no longer be able to ask myself to be like ordinary players, just throwing problems to teammates when facing difficulties, what I must learn to do is to be like Kobe Bryant and not flinch in the face of the huge difficulties created by the opponent.

I have to face the difficulties, there are difficulties to go on, there are no difficulties we have to create difficulties, one person is defense, five people to defend is also defense, as long as you can shoot is reasonable, if you can't throw it then you can only blame my own dish, it means that my usual training is not hard enough, as long as the strength is enough, not a chance to shoot can also become an opportunity, ordinary people can not do the scoring opportunity I can do!
