Chapter 626

Torn Achilles tendon is a so-called "athlete killer" injury. No matter how heroic and majestic you are before the injury, once you are targeted by it, you will immediately lose your martial arts and become a mediocre person. There are many people in NBA history who have suffered from this injury. Unfortunately, the only one who really recovered and can be called "uncompromised" is Dominique Wilkins in 1992.As for the others, no matter how they recover, they are "extremely degenerated" and gradually fade out of the vision of NBA powerhouses.

Well, there is another possibility, that is to retire directly.

retired? ? ?Although Kobe is 35 years old, he hasn't thought about this word yet. According to his original plan, he will play until he is at least 40 years old.And he is very confident and confident in protecting his body.This is definitely not boasting. Kobe's "resistance to exercise" is based on careful protection and scientific training, coupled with his invincible will, so it gives people a feeling of "physical endurance".In fact, if you really want to talk about "resistance. Fuck. Talent", he can't compare with Jordan James, a man of heaven.

On this issue, "Zen Master" Jackson has the most say. Kobe's body maintenance is like maintaining a luxury sports car, which is completely different from Jordan's method.And Kobe's attitude towards training is better than Jordan's. Although I know that saying this will arouse Jordan's doubts, in my eyes, Kobe did just that.The above remarks were made by Jackson in an exclusive interview with The New York Times after he went to New York in the next few years.So in Tang Qian's eyes, what does Kobe do every day?
Long and heavy.

In order to maintain their athletic level and competitive level, the Lakers have to do ice buckets, physical therapy massages, and body stretches every day on the 24th, and it is not the "short time" you imagine. The time he spent on these items is far away. Far beyond the normal NBA player level.Judy Seto, the chief physical therapist of the Lakers, said that Kobe participated in NBA games not only to play, but he also required himself to play at a high level, so in terms of body, he should not be held back.

Unlike when he was young, because he is older, his body is severely worn, and his endurance, exercise, and talent are not as good as Qiao Zhan, so Kobe will enter the game 2 to 4 hours earlier every time he has a game.First he shoots the ball, sweating his body with the shot, and then he wakes up in all aspects of his body, he will go to the weight room to do strength maintenance for a while, of course, if he is not in good health that day, he will soon talk to Gary Vitti Communicate, then go for a physical massage and its ice therapy.If the body is in good condition that day, Kobe will go to Judy Seto for a routine massage after the strength training, because it will greatly relieve the muscle congestion.

The whole process will not be too long, basically no more than 15 minutes. As far as Tang Qian saw, most of the time is spent on physical massage around the neck, shoulders, knees, and ankles.Tang Qian once asked Judy Seto about this massage, and Judy Seto told Tang Qian that young players don’t need to do so much, and their physical recovery speed is enough to keep up. Players only need this project assistance.However, the time should not be too long each time, 10-15 minutes is the best. If the time is too long, the original recovery speed of the body will be further reduced, and it will cause more muscle fatigue.

This is not over. After finishing these, Kobe will join the whole team to practice, mainly tactics and teamwork. After finishing this training program...he will go to Judy Seto to stretch his limbs for him, and at the same time Use the medical device "The.Raptor" to help yourself further awaken muscle groups.Well, mostly the legs.As the old saying goes, old people get old first, especially for basketball players.

After a short break, the game is about to enter the preparation stage, and the audience is about to enter.At this time, Kobe will go to another physical masseur of the Lakers, Ti Francesco, to help him with a hip activation massage. During this period, the Lakers head coach will also take the opportunity to arrange some tasks for tonight and pay attention to details.Why Do This Butt Activation Massage?Ti Francesc told Tang Qian that this can better activate the lower limbs of the person being massaged, making them more flexible and less prone to injury and fatigue in the evening games.

There is another detail. While receiving the hip activation massage, Kobe not only listened to the details of the night arranged by the head coach, but also drank a "specific bone soup" developed by the Lakers.This "bone soup" Tang Qian has tried, it is not delicious, it can even be said to be a bit unpalatable, but the medical team of the Lakers said that this is because there is no seasoning, they want to maintain the maximum energy of the athletes intake.

These procedures are fixed for every game, and Tang Qian has hardly seen them being disrupted.

During the game, Kobe can't rest like ordinary players.Because of his age, in order to keep his body from cooling down and stiffening, as soon as he got off the court, Judy Seto would always be ready to ask the former if he wanted some physical massage on his legs or other parts.

This is also to maintain the activation of the legs or body, which shows Kobe's high demands on himself.

After the game is over, the above "activation part" is over, and it will enter the "inactive part".

What is "inactive part"?It is ice compress, ice bucket and other items, which are items to relax muscles after strenuous consumption.Tang Qian and the others will also do this project, but the time is much shorter than the former.After finishing these projects, Kobe usually needs to replenish his body's energy, well, it's mostly chocolate milk, but it's the kind of low-sugar drink, the main ingredients are organic cocoa and grass-fed cow's milk.As for why it is not sugar-free milk, Gary Vitti’s explanation is that it is more scientific and reasonable to choose low-sugar milk at this time, because the athletes’ bodies, especially the elderly athletes, need a little sugar supplement during NBA games.

This is the training and maintenance part of the game. During the non-competition period, Kobe usually spends time on stretching. He just maintains the strength training properly, and does not continue to increase and gain weight like Jordan did at the end of the game.After all, his knees do not have the bearing capacity of God's knees. In order to reduce the risk of injury, Kobe can only adjust in this way.

Afterwards, Bryant also received a physical massage from Judy Seto, followed by a long ice pack and an ice bucket.

During this period, Kobe also strictly implemented a "complex plan" called "Fusionetics", which uses scientific means to avoid sports injuries, accelerate post-exercise recovery and improve performance.This is definitely an extremely boring and boring "professional plan". It may work well, but it is too boring and mechanical, making it difficult for people to persist for a long time.

This is Kobe paying for his "overdraft training" when he was young. Gary Vitti bluntly said that Kobe's career training volume has already exceeded 99% of NBA players, so now, he has to do these "boring and boring "s things.

The most important point is that you can't stop, you can't procrastinate, and you have to persist.

This is what old players, especially Kobe Bryant, have to deal with day after day if they want to maintain a high competitive state. In addition, Kobe has to live and deal with off-court. This does not have superhuman perseverance. Determined not to last.

But even so, even if he took such good care of his body, it still couldn't stop the attack of the "disease", and the Achilles tendon was torn, which was equivalent to taking away everything Kobe had at once.No matter how optimistic he was before, everyone fell silent on the first day of the team's training camp.

Of course, the most silent person is No. 24 herself.

Because his current competitive state and competitive strength are not enough to meet the NBA-level competition standards.

To explain it in layman's terms, it is...he is not worthy of playing in the NBA now.

Well, it just doesn't deserve it, it's cruel, but that's the reality.Kobe Bryant is far from recovered enough to play.

This made the atmosphere of the Lakers' pre-game training camp fall to the bottom all of a sudden.

Howard was already gone, and now Kobe's recovery is so slow, so bad, how far can the Lakers go this season?
No...you won't even be able to make it to the playoffs.

A kind of haze, the 2013-2014 season has not yet started, and it has shrouded the entire Lakers team.

Tang Qian stayed to clean the arena at night. This was decided by the whole team by lottery. Except for Kobe, no one was exempt.As for why the athletes come by themselves, it is mainly to exercise the athletes' sense of belonging to the parent team, which is also a tradition established by the deceased old Bass during his lifetime.

Of course, it does not mean that you are really serious and careful like the "cleaning staff". In fact, it is "superficial work", and you can just deal with it.The mission was more form than substance.

Kobe is still practicing in a corner. Tang Qian roughly estimated that the shooting touch on the 24th today is no more than 20%.This is absolutely incredible for a normal NBA player.

Even Howard, he wouldn't shoot less than 20%, and Kobe didn't shoot a single three-pointer today, all of them were 2-point shots, but his shooting percentage was still extremely low, which was appalling.

Tang Qian saw the problem. Kobe's leg strength was obviously different from before. Whether it was explosive power or flexibility, it showed an overall downward trend.Last season, Kobe was able to stage all kinds of dunks and pull the bar against the sky, but now it is difficult for him to even make a fadeaway jumper.

The time and height in the air have become a "matchbox", and he is a different person from last season.

Although the head coach Mike D'Antoni tried to persuade Kobe not to worry about the slow recovery from the torn Achilles tendon, but it fell to the ears of the "Black Mamba" who was extremely competitive, that is...you delay the comeback time.

Now you can't play in the NBA.

Me, am I really not even qualified to play?

Am I really going to have to continue "recovering" for months?
asshole! ! !

Kobe hasn't had this feeling for a long time. Since the turn of the millennium, he has been the overlord in the sub-position, at least he is also a ruthless character that everyone fears.When did you experience "belittle"?
No. 24 was very angry, his mentality was still the proud "Black Mamba" mentality, but the reality made him suffer a blow.

For some unknown reason, Kobe actually said to Tang Qian who was cleaning up the venue:
"Tan, come here, let's fight one-on-one."

PS: Thank you for the big reward from Jingji Honor~Thank you~
