My Name is Kobe Bryant

Los Angeles, the block next to the Lakers training facility, Jerry West is sitting in a chair in the office, watching the game between the Lakers and the Warriors.

When Kobe and Sprewell rolled to the ground with their legs crossed at the same time, West stood up in a panic and sat down after seeing that Kobe was fine.

"This kid." West looked at the replay, saw Kobe's little moves, and couldn't help laughing. It was the first time he saw such a slippery rookie, and it must be the best to protect himself. God bless Sprewell, too.

"Dingling, Dingling." The phone on the office desk rang.

"Hello."

"Mr. West, excuse me. This is Robert Horry's manager David." A simple and honest middle-aged male voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Good evening, sir." West was a little surprised.

"Mr. West, my agent wants to leave the Suns. He wants to team up with Shaq and Kobe." The voice on the other end of the phone was a little low.

"It's great. Horry is a very good player. He is the championship puzzle our team desperately needs. I will manage this matter." West was happy. He was also planning to trade Horry. , I never expected that the Lord came to the door.

"Mr. West, you know, my agent's contract is coming to an end this year. We want to find a team that can sign a long-term contract"

"How about 30 million in 6 years?"

"Mr. West, are you serious? Damn it, I will push this deal right away." Horry's agent was excited by West's big money. This salary is not something a role player can get at all. He can draw a very large amount of money from it. Now even if Horry is unwilling to come to the Lakers, he has to promote this deal.

"Horry is a championship-level player, and the Lakers very much welcome him to join." Of course West knows the importance of Horry, this is an extremely comprehensive player. With a height of 2.06 meters, he can play both inside and outside. He can play as a small forward or with O'Neal as the fourth position in space. The defense is solid, the shooting is stable, and there is a key ball. This is simply a perfect fit for the Lakers.

Whether he puts Horry in the starting four or acts as a substitute, he can immediately contribute to the team. It can be said that as long as Horry joins, even without other reinforcements, the Lakers can upgrade from a strong team to a contender. championship team.

"We will immediately submit a transaction application to the Suns. Mr. West is very grateful for your answering. It was a pleasure talking with you."

West hung up the phone. This was the best news I had heard in a while.

. . . . . .

In the "Olympic Tower" building at 645 Fifth Avenue in New York City, a young man with a bald head stood beside Stern, the uncrowned king of the NBA.

"President, this foul is too bad. Fortunately, Kobe dodged it. Do I need to ask the referee below to take care of Kobe?"

"Xiaohua, don't worry. The most beautiful flowers can bloom only after experiencing the most severe challenges."

Xiao Hua, who is currently Stern's assistant, doesn't understand that Jordan is about to retire, and the league needs to find a replacement for Jordan immediately. Using referees can easily create several superstars. Why is Stern unwilling?

Isn't commerciality the most important thing in this alliance? Xiao Hua is even willing to turn the NBA into a show like WWE for enough benefits.

But what he just doesn't know is that the glory of competitive sports will never be obtained through charity or scripts.

It's like he doesn't know why, under Stern's hands, the NBA can quickly climb to the top among the four major leagues.

In his opinion, as long as the script is good enough, more people will fall in love with basketball. The league has the ability to make the script come true, and it also has the ability to make the NBA better.

. . . . . . .

The game between the Lakers and the Warriors continued. After Sprewell went off the court, Kobe continued to participate in the game alive and kicking.

"Kobe, are you really okay?" The teammates asked with concern.

Kobe shook his head, it seems that only Bowen saw Kobe's little tricks, they are still too young. This is not good, they will suffer in the playoffs.

Kobe made a technical free throw and hit it steadily. Bryant's free throws are second to none among the Lakers' starters, with extremely high stability.

After Sprewell left the Warriors, morale was low, and their minds were a little off the court.

And this kind of Warriors failed consecutively in front of the Lakers who improved their defensive strength.

Kobe seized the opportunity of the Warriors' missed shots and succeeded in counterattacks again and again, which made the aging Warriors exhausted from the outside.

And O'Neal also worked together on the offensive end, and Kobe and O'Neal played a pick-and-roll. Their blocking is not something that a team with the Warriors' configuration can defend.

The game completely lost suspense in the third quarter, and the Lakers scored a huge score difference of 31:13 in a single quarter. The Lakers played another 3 quarters of clock-in and off-duty games. Neither Bryant nor O'Neal played in the fourth quarter, and Harris protected them.

As Harris expected, when the Lakers players increase their intensity, it is easy to harvest a team of this level. The Lakers' ability to abuse food is very strong. Facing ordinary weak teams, it is difficult for the Lakers with double insurance to lose control.

The final score of the game was the Lakers 112:89 Warriors.

Bryant played 25 minutes, 11 of 16 shots, 3 of 4 three-pointers. Scored 27 points, 1 rebound, 9 assists, 2 steals and 1 block. The efficiency is extremely high, and the Warriors can't stop the fiery Kobe at all.

O'Neal played 31 minutes, made 12 of 19 shots, 2 of 8 free throws, scored 26 points, 12 rebounds, 7 assists and 3 blocks. He played with ease, and fell in love with the feeling of sharing the ball. In a trance, O'Neal found the feeling of being a point guard in high school.

Eddie Jones and Van Exel also gradually integrated into the team, scoring 18 and 13 points respectively. Fisher also had 7 points and 3 assists.

Sprewell's data is full of big zero eggs, 0 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists and 4 turnovers. Instead, Joe Smith used his excellent athletic ability to score 19 points, 12 rebounds and 3 assists in front of Campbell.

At the end of the game, Adelman stopped Kobe: "Young man, you played very well. Keep going!"

Adelman admired this young and mature player very much, and Adelman felt sick inside when Sprewell did the trick. As a traditional academic coach, he hated such dirty methods the most.

Mullin also found Kobe and gave Kobe a hug.

"Kobe, please contact me if you need help. I have lived in the league for 11 years, and I am willing to pass on my experience to you."

Mullin thanked Kobe for standing up for him in front of Sprewell, and Mullin was ready to leave this team after 11 years at the end of the season. He couldn't stand the smoky atmosphere here.

Mullin wants to fight for the championship at the end of his career.

Maybe going to the Lakers is a good choice? Los Angeles is not far from Oakland, and they also have twin stars like Kobe and O'Neal.

Some readers asked Junyanghao, here to send 744-208-767. Next week, I will be annoyed to serialize this recommendation again. It is uncomfortable, and I want to push it by category.
