I know what Los Angeles looks like at 4 am every day!

Do you know what Los Angeles is like at four o'clock in the morning?

Interview original:

The reporter asked, "Why are you so successful?"

Kobe asked, "Do you know what Los Angeles is like at four in the morning?"

The reporter shook his head: "I don't know, then tell me what Los Angeles is like at four o'clock every morning?"

Kobe scratched his head and said, "The sky is full of stars, with few lights and few pedestrians."

Speaking of this, Kobe smiled. "I don't know what it is." But it doesn't matter, do you think? Every day at four o'clock in the morning, when it is still dark in Los Angeles, I get up and walk in the dark streets of Los Angeles. One day has passed, and the darkness in Los Angeles has not changed at all; Two days have passed, and the darkness has not changed at all; Ten years later, the street darkness in Los Angeles at four o'clock in the morning has not changed, but I have become an athlete with muscular, energetic, powerful and high shooting percentage.

Extended data:

In high school, Kobe led Raul Merion High School to achieve 3 1 win and 3 losses, and won the first state championship of the school in 50 years. Such dazzling achievements are enough for him to win basketball scholarships from famous universities such as North Carolina and Duke, but Kobe "has no ambition in the university league".

1996, Kobe issued a statement at his alma mater, skipping college and directly entering the professional arena. Less than two months after the announcement, he was selected by the Hornets in the first round and traded to the Lakers. In the same year165438+1October 6, Kobe Bryant scored his first point in the NBA through a free throw at Madison Square Garden. The following year, Kobe won the All-Star Dunk Contest with a "crotch-changing split". In 2000, the Lakers led by Kobe beat the Pacers 4-2 and won the NBA championship. In the key game, when O 'Neal was sent off and sprained his ankle, Kobe scored eight points in overtime to help the Lakers win the championship.

Since entering the league, Kobe has been pursuing and surpassing Jordan's highest goal. As early as 1998 all-star game, he dared to call "postman" Malone: "Put away your damn pick-and-roll and I will hit Jordan!" In 2003, Kobe and Jordan met for the last time in their careers. Kobe's farewell was absolutely difficult, not only leading the Lakers to defeat the Wizards, but also defeating Jordan with 23 points with 55 points in a single game. Of course, there were also three-pointers in the All-Star Game that were recorded in NBA history.

At that time, every Jordan fan regarded Kobe as a "heartless" sinner, and some people were still addicted to the fearless eyes of teenagers. Losing can keep him awake all night and get up in the middle of the night to continue training. He said, "There is always someone who wants to win the game. Why can't it be me?" 1998, when Kobe asked Jordan for advice, Kobe arrived 30 minutes earlier than the appointed time. But when he arrived, he found that Jordan had been practicing for half an hour. 10 years later, it was Kobe's turn to ask the reporter "4 am in Los Angeles".
