“From the beginning, I wanted to be the best.I had a constant craving, a yearning, to improve and be the best. I never needed any external forces to motivate me.

I always felt like if I started my day early, I could train more each day.If I started at 11, I’d get in a few hours, rest for four hours, and then get back to the gym around 5 to 7. But if I started at 5 AM and went until 7, I could go again from 11 until 2 and 6 until 8. By starting earlier, I set myself up for an extra workout each day. Over the course of a summer, that’s a lot of extra hours in the gym.

At the same time, starting early helped me balance basketball and life. When my kids woke up in the morning I was there, and they wouldn’t even know I had just finished at the gym. At night, I’d be able to put them to bed, then go work out again during my own time, not theirs. “

This can be seen from Kobe’s paranoid training, when he entered the league from the age of 17, regardless of season or offseason, he will routinely train every morning from midnight to late at night, stretching, lifting weights, shooting, Video analysis, day after day.

At the end of the game, many people hurriedly bathed and changed. However, for Kobe, after each game, he would put two ice packs on his knees, shoulders, and soak his feet for 20 minutes. To eliminate inflammation, relax and prepare for the next game.

Kobe’s physical therapist also said that Kobe has a strong pain threshold. This may be the improvement brought by his devil training day after day, in other words he has become numb to pain, including his sacrificed sleep time.

About continuous learning from others, he wrote:

“I was curious. I wanted to improve, learn, and fill my head with the history of the game. No matter who I was with—a coach, hall of famer, teammate—and no matter the situation—game, practice, vacation—I would fire away with question after question.

My approach always was that I ’d rather risk embarrassment now than be embarrassed later, when I ’ve won zero titles.

One of the main takeaways was that you have to work hard in the dark to shine in the light. Meaning: It takes a lot of work to be successful, and people will celebrate that success, will celebrate that flash and hype. Behind that hype, though, is dedication, focus, and seriousness—all of which outsiders will never see. If you stop being dedicated to the craft, the commercials and contracts will all fade away. “

In fact, for Bryant, every failure and ugliness on the court is an opportunity to learn and grow.

When he was young, Kobe lost his balance when defending Jordan. At that time, Jordan kept his body above the waist straight and did not release in any direction. He firmly controlled his body and mastered this attack. Kobe was supporting his back with his forearm to apply pressure to his body so that he leaned forward. As a result, Jordan turned Kobe easily with a decisive right turn.

Later recalling this, Kobe said it was a great learning opportunity. Thanks for letting him see this photo in 1998. After research, he corrected his posture and adjusted his body balance. Since then, any Anyone who wants to play him in the low post will find it much more difficult.

Fans will also notice when watching his match live, that details and concentration penetrate almost every game of him. The book mentions the match with many stars, James, Paul, Wade, Garnett, etc. It also reflects his control over every detail.

About his mentality, he wrote:

“By reading, by paying attention in class and in practice, by working, I strengthened my focus. By doing all of that, I strengthened my ability to be present and not have a wandering mind.

The key, though, is being aware of how you ’re feeling and how you need to be feeling. It all starts with awareness.

The mindset is n’t about seeking a result—it ’s more about the process of getting to that result. It ’s about the journey and the approach. It ’s a way of life. I do think that it ’s important, in all endeavors, to have that mentality. “

In Kobe’s eyes, the situation of the game is different, and the mental preparation is also different.

If you need excitement, just listen to the music; if you need to soothe your emotions, go back to find the old songs that you can never tire of listening. The purpose of all is to adjust the state. Other games need to stay calm, not listen to any music, and sometimes even sit alone, either silently or meditating.

As for rhythm control, Bryant mentioned the timing and rhythm control when defending Iverson:

I will pay special attention to the time Iverson spends from receiving to attacking. If his rhythm after receiving the ball is roughly like this: “One, two, three, two, two, three.” His offensive biological clock. The next time he takes the ball, when I find that he is at the “two two three” node, I can start first and destroy his shot.

When talking about the most difficult McGrady to deal with, Bryant also has his own understanding of timing and rhythm:

“Mattie has a long arm and omnipotent offense. She can shoot or break from any direction. She can also play singles in the low post and open the bow from left to right. In order to disrupt the rhythm of the game, first mark the aggressive moment , And then managed to kill them one by one. When I played against him and studied the video of his game, I found that he likes to squat low and stable, his body is balanced, and both hands have equal opportunities to complete the steal. My goal is Keep the ball away from him so as not to be attacked by his hands. In the attack, I tried to figure out what made him uncomfortable, that is, to get under his body and hit his legs, waist, hips severely, let He feels unwell, the purpose is to make it difficult for him to breathe and disrupt his offensive rhythm. “

So we look at Kobe ’s entire career. The first half is based on speed, breakthrough and body. The second half is based on a stable mid-range shot, a gorgeous turnaround jumper, an elegant emergency stop jumper, and so many countless descriptions of him. Jumper. His attainment of historical status is inseparable from the spirit of Mamba he follows.

If Jordan is like a great hero who saves the world, then Kobe is a strange man who loves as much as he hates, and can play God and Satan. He changed.

I believe that the “Mamba spirit” will always inspire the post-80s, post-90s, and even post-00s fans to work hard for the ideals in their hearts.

The deceased can never be retained, and life must continue. It’s better to live like Kobe, tough, fearless and unconvinced.
