Chương 383: Chapter 4 Trip to Italy

Throughout Kobe's professional career, he always placed great emphasis on studying game videos, a task usually reserved for assistant coaches.

After becoming an NBA player, he would spend several hours each day meticulously breaking down his own and his opponents' performances, putting in far more effort than other players.

In Italy, he would pause the footage and use the slow-motion feature to replay scenes, with his father often pointing out the key points beside him.

When Joe wasn't around, Kobe would study on his own. He would completely memorize a series of shots, especially those that revealed the tendencies of the players.

By the age of 9, he had edited his first scout video, providing a detailed analysis of John Battelle, a relatively unknown Hawks guard.

Those were the years when NBA stars began to shine, and the league entered its golden age with Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, and Michael Jordan delivering spectacular performances on the court.
