I am so Accurate

Chapter 518 Kobe's long essay!

"In 1996, they told me I wasn't going to Charlotte because they had a deal with Los Angeles before that.

And they told me that Los Angeles traded me for an All-Star center.

It was an exciting start because for the first time I felt valued.

Moreover, I will go to Los Angeles, which is the bustling metropolis that all players yearn for!

Los Angeles, what a beautiful city.

I was hooked the first day I came here.

There is a lot of traffic, row upon row.

The lights are feasting and the neon lights are noisy.

I'm obsessed with it, enjoying a lot of things that I never had the chance to enjoy before.

until……

I still clearly remember the beginning, 6 minutes, 0 points, 1 rebound and 1 block.

I only played in my second game with the team and didn't score.

I seemed to be punching fiercely by a boxer without a boxing suit.

That woke me up too.

I told myself that something like this must never happen again!

I started to shut myself in a small closed space.

Everything is great in Los Angeles, but first, I have to survive here.

I quickly got 10 points in Game 4 against the Toronto Raptors, a team that had just been formed the previous year.

I still remember the player I played against was Reggie Slater.

Many people may not know who he is, but I will always remember his name.

He's taller, stronger, and more experienced than me.

But I also have my advantages, I am faster than him, my explosive power is better.

He didn't guard me.

You can never describe in words the feeling you get when you beat someone stronger than you.

Also after that game, I told myself again, I want to win and keep winning! !

Phil told me I would be the best scorer in the league.

I was steadfast in that moment because he had coached Michael Jordan.

In the second season in Los Angeles, I became stronger than Slater. 10 points were no longer enough for me. I started to score 20 points, 30 points.

I also clearly remember the day on December 17, 1997, when I played against Michael.

He scored 36 points and I scored 33 points.

You see, I'm as good as he is.

But I know I can be better.

Every summer I lock myself in the training room, and when I come out, I'm stronger than before.

So it goes round and round, spring and summer alternate.

I'm getting better and stronger, and the team is getting closer to the goal.

Los Angeles, that's where dreams begin!

No one, including myself, would have thought before that that I would have won a three-peat there!

According to others, we are done with Dynasty!

That's something only George Mikan, Bill Russell and Michael Jordan have done!

It was so beautiful.

I also married my beloved Vanessa and had my first child.

Everything is on the right track.

I think I'm going to stay in LA until I retire.

Yes, Los Angeles has become my second home.

To this day if you ask me where I am from, I will tell you I am from Philadelphia.

But I'll tell you otherwise, I'm from Los Angeles.

It's just that the most helpless thing about life is that you can't control what will happen tomorrow.

I'm traded.

They told me it was time for the team to make a change!

They also told me that I would do what I had done in another city.

And the difference is that I get better opportunities there.

I said, 'Okay, it's time to say goodbye to Los Angeles. '

The only regret is that because of the long hours of training, I haven't had time to take a good look at the true beauty of this city.

Dallas is a completely different place from Los Angeles.

There are not so many spotlights here, so I can train with peace of mind.

But there are as passionate fans here as in Los Angeles, you know, the Dallas Cowboys!

In their cheers, I got the first 60+ in my career.

I really really enjoyed this time.

But the biggest regret is that I failed to bring another championship trophy to this city.

Me and Dirk met at the peak age, but failed to create a good result.

I thought it was God's injustice.

I didn't know until recently after chatting with a friend that a large part of it was my problem.

I was always becoming a better scorer, but never learned how to be a leader.

So Dirk, I think I owe you an apology forever.

The more interesting thing about life, though, is that tomorrow, out of your control, something may happen that you expect.

The moment I got the call from Downey and knew the final result, I was as excited as when I first entered the league.

The place where my dream started is also a place that I will always miss.

Los Angeles! Kobe is back! !

To this day, I'm still as excited as I was at that moment.

Forgive me for not being able to describe that feeling.

But when you have the chance to make amends, I'm sure you'll feel what I felt.

Now I just want to go to Los Angeles earlier, like a wanderer eager to set foot on the land of my hometown again. "

...

A day after being traded, Kobe posted a long post on Twitter in the early morning.

To be honest, before reading this long article, Sun Hao really didn't expect Kobe to be so... literary!

Of course, it is not ruled out that this article was written by someone else.

But don't worry about it, the content here must be what Kobe himself meant.

And what can be seen from this article is that the conversation between Sun Hao and Kobe really changed Kobe's mentality a lot.

It's not about the change in EQ, but in his mentality. He seems to have finally figured it out and matured!

Otherwise, say sorry to Nowitzki with Kobe's behavior in the past? This kind of thing can't happen!

Some people may say, how can one mature so fast?

But maybe anyone who has experienced it knows that a man's maturity often happens overnight.

...

The day after Kobe finished posting the long article, he flew to Los Angeles to prepare for the final medical examination of the trade.

The airport in Los Angeles went to a considerable number of fans.

And they were holding up a lot of signs like "Welcome back, Kobe."

Although the Clippers and not the Lakers were traded this time, for Los Angeles fans, that's not that important.

Importantly, Kobe is back!

Even for fans in Los Angeles, for a long time to come, they will enjoy a kind of happiness that they have never enjoyed before.

Because of the confrontation between Sun Hao and Kobe, it became a city derby!

It's exciting to think about it!

Of course, the more exciting ones are yet to come!

In his first press conference back in Los Angeles, Bryant announced a big thing.

He will change his jersey number!

It was also at this press conference that he explained for the first time why he chose No. 8 when he entered the league.

Before this, most people thought it was because he wore No. 8 in Italy.

But this time Kobe said: No, that's not it!

The reason why he chose No. 8 was because when he participated in the Adidas training camp for the first time in high school, the organizer assigned the number according to the strength of the players.

He was assigned number 143.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with the organizer, but personally, it was a kind of underestimation.

To remind himself of that feeling forever, he chose the number 8 because those three numbers add up to exactly 8.

"Kobe at No. 8 is like why he chose it in the first place, to prove himself."

Kobe also made a summary of his No. 8 career.

"But this time, Kobe on the 24th will not be like that again. There are 24 hours in a day and 24 seconds in an attack. He will grasp every minute and every second to learn how to be a good team leader."

Kobe's new jersey number will be 24!

Sun Hao has been wondering before, because of his appearance, whether Kobe will change his personality and change his jersey number.

Now everything has an answer: yes!

Moreover, after communicating with him! !

After the press conference ended, fans' expectations for the Clippers also skyrocketed.

Although it is not yet known what kind of chemical reaction Gasol and Kobe will have.

I don't know if the team's new star Bynum can carry the heavy responsibility of the team's inside line.

But Kobe's transformation is enough to be expected by Los Angeles fans.

Because no one has ever questioned Kobe's personal ability, only his style of play.

Moreover, the Clippers' signings this season will certainly not stop there.

The next day, the All-Star Game was held in Las Vegas.

The league announced an important adjustment before the start of the All-Star Game:

Starting next season, the trade deadline will be brought forward before the All-Star Game!

Because the time of the All-Star Game is different in each season, the deadline will also be different, but in principle it is one week before the start.

The reason for this adjustment is related to the previous four-party transaction.

It's easy to explain. If Kidd is selected as an All-Star this year, it means that the Western Conference team will suddenly have an extra spot.

At that time, Kidd will continue to play on behalf of the Eastern Conference, or the 11 players from the Eastern Conference will play against the 13 players from the Western Conference.

Either way, it's not fair to other players.

The lucky thing is that Kidd didn't make it this year, and Kobe was also sent to the West, so this deal didn't really have an impact on the All-Star Game.

But it has set off alarm bells for the league.

If you don't change it, the next time an All-Star player is traded during the All-Star Game, and is traded from one division to another, then there is really no way for the gods to come.

Don't say that you are not allowed to discuss trades during the All-Star Game, that is simply unrealistic.

So the best solution is to advance the transaction deadline.

In this way, this possibility is completely eliminated.

In addition, the alliance also announced another adjustment along the way:

Starting next season, the league will no longer allow high school players to directly participate in the election!

This is also no small news.

There's a lot going on in the background of what happened.

The overall success rate of high school student players is low, and there is also the constant pressure from the NCAA.

It may even have something to do with Barkley's previous hype, but in the eyes of league officials it was a "laughing butt" incident.

In any case, high school students entering the NBA stopped here.

Durant thus became the last high school champion in NBA history!

The first and the last in everything are remembered by people.

Durant brought 10,086 trumpets to like this news!

...

This year is the first time in NBA history that the All-Star Weekend will be held in Las Vegas, the casino city.

This also makes this year's All-Star Game full of gimmicks and highlights.

Not to mention anything else, there are many celebrities in Las Vegas, if you take two steps on the street in the past two days, you might meet a big celebrity by chance.

This situation has doubled the security of the arena compared to previous All-Star games.

At such a moment, the two giants of sneakers, Adidas and Nike, are naturally indispensable.

This time, Nike set up an exhibition hall of nearly 1,000 square meters in the Palm Tree Hotel where the All-Star players stayed, which can be described as full of pride.

Adidas launched the eighth generation of Sun Hao sneakers, the sun8 series, in a tit-for-tat manner.

Like kobe8, sun8 is also a generation of technological innovation.

In addition to adopting technological innovations, special cowhide is also specially embedded in the shoes, which greatly improves the comfort of the shoes compared with the past.

In terms of appearance design, the design of black upper and red shoe body is also quite eye-catching.

Of course, these are not the most interesting places of sun8.

The most eye-catching thing about this pair of shoes is the sentence on the side of the shoes:

"Become a dynasty!"

You can understand this sentence as just a sneaker promotional slogan of Adidas: to establish a sneaker dynasty of the sun series.

Or more people will understand him as the Lakers Dynasty!

A mouthful of tainted milk directly smears your face!

But back then, the league required only black and white tones in the design of sneakers, but Nike would rather pay a fine and add red tones to AJ1.

That standout design also made the AJ1 an instant hit.

Adi is doing the same thing this time.

Because of the following alternative scenarios, one of them must appear:

The success of the Lakers dynasty, this is a sneaker with luck;

The Lakers dynasty failed, because Sun Hao had already introduced the concept of tainted milk in this era in advance, and this pair of sneakers became synonymous with epic tainted milk;

But no matter which one, this sneaker is bound to become a classic.

In addition to the tit-for-tat confrontation between the two major sneaker manufacturers, there is another very conspicuous place in this All-Star game.

Because the first day of the All-Star Weekend happened to be Chinese New Year's Eve, and Sun Hao, Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian were all selected as the All-Star starters, this year's All-Star "Spring Festival" atmosphere can be said to be the strongest ever.

At the entrance of the hotel where the players stayed, couplets were posted and lanterns were hung.

For Sun Hao and others who couldn't go home for the New Year, this is definitely the most meaningful All-Star Game.

Sun Hao didn't know about this kind of scene before, and when he saw it, he called Su Feng to his side and asked the latter to prepare a Spring Festival gift for him.

Who is Su Feng?

The one who followed Zhang Weiping behind the camera!

Because of his cleverness, Gu Yi pulled him into Sun Hao's team as an assistant.

Gu Yi is now in charge of a large company under Sun Hao, so he must not be like before.

So it can also be understood that this is Gu Yi's "clone".

Um……

...

The All-Star Weekend has just started here, and the trading market is making waves again there.

And this time it was none other than the Wizards, the victim of the previous four-team deal.

ps: It took a long time to write the article "The Little Emperor Brings Talent to the NBA". Fortunately, judging from the chapter reviews, everyone thought it was good. Some people even asked if Su Qun wrote it himself, so this time I wrote it This Kobe Bryant article also took a lot of thought, I hope everyone will like it!
