The Polish poetess Szymborska said in a poem: "No one feels comfortable at 4 o'clock in the morning." ”
Yes, for example, I rarely get up at this time, I either fall asleep soundly, or stay up late and just fall asleep; only people with special things will wake up at 4 a.m., but that feeling must not be comfortable enough.
The city at four o'clock in the morning
我平时很少看网上的体育频道，最近却在这种频道上无意间看到一个记者曾经问“篮球天才”科比·布莱恩特：“你为什么能如此成功？ Bryant asked, "Do you know what Los Angeles looks like every morning at 4 o'clock?" This sentence intrigued me, and I wondered what los Angeles could have to do with a person's success at 4 a.m.
Bryant was amused by the questions asked
In fact, even the hard-working reporter didn't know what Los Angeles looked like at 4 a.m., so Bryant asked himself: "The sky is full of stars, the lights are falling, and there are very few pedestrians." Exactly what it looks like, I don't quite know. But it doesn't matter. Is that right? 每天早上4点，洛杉矶仍然在黑暗中，我就起床行走在黑暗的洛杉矶街道上......”
Bryant started training at four o'clock in the morning
At this point, I finally realized why 4 a.m. had something to do with Kobe's success. As a basketball player, he insists on waking up at 4 a.m. every morning, what else can he do but do physical training and shooting exercises? According to Kobe Himself, he persisted day after day, and the darkness of 4 a.m. in Los Angeles never changed, but he gradually changed, as if the light came to his life little by little, turning him from an obscure person into a star in the spotlight.
Bryant gets MVP
"More than 10 years later, the darkness at 4 a.m. in Los Angeles hasn't changed, but I've become a muscular, physically strong, powerful athlete with a high shooting percentage." Bryant said.
Bryant
此话不假，曾经的科比仍然能够在比自己年轻10岁的年轻队员头上扣篮，并创造出单场比赛夺得81分的个人记录。 Even in the training room, his shooting percentage is not arbitrary: his goal used to be to never stop shooting 800 balls a day, and then in the same time, he has been able to hit 1,000 goals, and he will never stop when he does not reach this goal.
Bryant scored 81 points on the spot
I was deeply touched by Kobe's words,
The most valuable thing is that after becoming a basketball star, Kobe Bryant can still get up at 4 o'clock in the morning when "no one feels comfortable" and insist on training, as if he is still the nameless practitioner who walked into the darkness at 4 o'clock in the morning.
Bryant practiced early in the morning
Bryant himself told it this way, and of course others testified to it. Robert Allert, a well-known fitness trainer, published a book in April 2013, "My Training Story and Kobe Bryant", in which he preached that While preparing for the 2012 London Olympics, Robert and the American men's basketball team came to Las Vegas for training. The night before the team members practiced together, Robert was busy all day and was preparing to go to bed, when it was 3:30 in the morning, his mobile phone actually rang, it turned out to be Kobe, he asked politely on the other end of the phone: "I want to know, can you help me do some physical training?" Bryant's request was sincere and enthusiastic, without a little bit of a big star's shelf, and of course he didn't know robert was going to rest. Robert did not refuse, came to the training hall, but was surprised: Kobe Bryant had already arrived at the training hall, and he was sweating profusely, as if he had just crawled out of the water! Under Robert's direction, Bryant trained until 6 a.m. Robert couldn't hold on, and the two had to separate, while Kobe Bryant continued to practice shooting. At 11 a.m. that day, Robert went to the training gym to guide the whole team to practice, and found that Bryant was still sweating and practicing shooting. Robert was particularly touched and asked, "When are you going to end?" Bryant threw the basketball in his hand, hit it, which was his 800th goal of the day, and then replied: "Isn't this over?" ”
Bryant shooting practice
This little story was not deliberately performed by Kobe Bryant for Robert, in fact, since entering the NBA, Kobe Bryant has done it every day, but not every day there are physical trainers to guide him.
The report on Bryant can be understood from the inspirational side, which is undoubtedly another classic example of "genius out of hard work", but I still want to end this article by quoting Azymposka's verse:"
Bryant. Bryant, the basketball genius of the heart forever! Basketball gods..... Can't refute it....
