Kobe Bryant: What's it like at four o'clock in the morning?

Some people say that Kobe is a basketball genius, but Kobe calls himself "four o'clock in the morning in Los Angeles". He means that his success is entirely due to hard work. You can't help but believe that someone published a book called "My Training Story with Kobe" in April of 20 13, which gave detailed evidence of what Kobe said. The author of this book is Robert allert, a famous American trainer. There is a story in the book: Robert came to Las Vegas with the American men's basketball team while preparing for the 20 12 London Olympic Games.

It was the night before the players started practicing together. Aleith, who has been busy till late at night, is getting ready to go to bed. Just then, Robert's cell phone rang. He thought, who will call at this time? Because it's half past three in the morning.

There should be no accident! Robert answered the phone nervously. It's Kobe. "Mr. Robert, I hope I'm not disturbing you." Kobe said. So polite, there is no big man's shelf. Although Robert was almost sleepy, he said politely, "How could I bother you?" Kobe, what can I do for you? "The other end said," I don't know if you can help me do some physical training. "Of course, I'll see you at the gym later!" Robert hung up the phone and hurried to the training hall. He doesn't think Kobe can wait there forever.

When he arrived at the training hall, Jing surprised Robert. I don't know when Kobe got there, but he was soaked with sweat after training, as if he had just come out of the water.

Seeing Robert pretending to be energetic, Kobe said, "It's hard for you. Shall we start?" Under the guidance of Robert, I did 1 hour and 15 minutes of physical training, followed by 45 minutes of strength training. It's almost 6 o'clock in the morning. Robert felt that he couldn't hold on any longer and said, "I'm sorry, I'm going back to the hotel to rest." Kobe said: "Thank you for your efforts! Ok, I'm going to practice shooting. "

According to the arrangement, in the morning 1 1, Robert, who has only rested for more than four hours, will go to the training hall to guide the whole team to practice together. When he arrived at the training hall, some players who had arrived were chatting with the coach and discussing something, but Kobe was still sweating and practicing shooting. "When will you finish?" Robert said with special emotion. Kobe asked, "What's the ending?" Robert said, "Shooting training." Watching the basketball thrown in his hand draw an arc and fall into the basket, Kobe said, "This is the end." It turned out that the ball was his 800th ball that day.

This record in Robert's book is just a day and a fragment of Kobe's long sports career. In fact, he has been like this every day since he entered the NBA. When most people are still asleep, he has appeared in the Lakers' training room, but he is not always guided by a trainer.

Kobe has made progress again. At that time, his goal was not to keep giving 800 balls. Now he has played 65,438+0,000 balls in the same time.

"Why are you so successful?" The reporter asked. "Do you know what Los Angeles is like at four o'clock every morning?" Kobe asked. 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. "

From Kobe's words, it seems easy to understand that Kobe is efficient every season, and he can dunk on the heads of young players ten years younger than himself, setting a personal record of 8 1 minute in a single game, which is almost mythical.

Yes, Kobe is an inspirational book. His sports career has once again proved the universality and inevitability of "genius comes from diligence".
