My Name is Kobe Bryant

The two sides entered a stalemate. At this time, the 5-point advantage obtained by the substitute team in the first quarter was reflected.

Kobe Bryant was not in a hurry, firmly controlled the rhythm of the game, and pressed every attack time. I would rather shoot some balls with a low hit rate than make mistakes and let the starting side fight back.

At the end of the two quarters, the starter 43:47 substitute. Kobe won the internal training game.

. . . . . .

"Hahaha, boss, have you seen how dark the faces of those so-called Lakers stars are?" After the training, Kobe and his party went out to eat. Fisher yelled.

"That Ceballos, who said he would teach us a lesson, was repaired by Big Ben." Bruce Bowen was also a little excited. From an undrafted player who played overseas to the current starter of a team that beat the playoffs, the ups and downs are only He knows it himself.

Ben Wallace smiled honestly. He contributed 2 steals and 4 blocks in just two quarters.

"It's all about the boss." Tyris Knight flattered. Originally, he and Kobe's group were not so close. After a series of games, he knew that if he wanted to gain a foothold in the team, he must hold Kobe tightly. thigh. Especially when he learned that Rob Pelinka got a 25W contract for Bowen and Ben, he wanted to change the agent.

"Guys performed so well today!" Rob Pelinka appeared in the restaurant. Having not received their wages, the group of people who are not rich chose a hamburger restaurant. The appearance of a group of strong men feasting on it made passers-by look sideways. At present, they don't have many fans, so they don't have to worry about anything on the road.

"Very good, to celebrate our performance today! Go to the strength hall to train after eating!" Kobe said happily.

"Boss, can you change your way of celebrating?" Fisher was a little confused. This boss is good at everything, but he likes to pull everyone to practice non-stop. The problem of hitting the head with the ball if you don't obey really needs to be corrected.

. . . . . .

Del Harris called the coaching staff after the game for a brief meeting about the game.

"Kobe's performance is great, he deserves to start." Rambis supported Kobe. In two quarters, Kobe scored 14 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists in front of the Lakers' Jordan-level data.

"I think it remains to be seen. He just turned 18 and he can be developed slowly. Whether he can adapt to the frequent schedule of the NBA is something we worry about, let alone who he replaces?" said another team assistant.

Del Harris appreciates the performance of the substitute team, but he also has doubts. Kobe's performance is based on the fact that the ball is almost in his hands alone, and he will definitely not be the core of the starting lineup. Can Kobe adapt to sharing the ball with those stars after starting?

Especially O'Neal is about to return to the team in the preseason. Will this player who pursues the championship tolerate a rookie's mistake?

Harris thought about it, but he was still not ready to adjust the starting lineup. He planned to let Kobe play the role of the sixth man. In his view, last year's starting players are very experienced, and their goal this season must be to achieve better results.

"The physical condition of the starting players is worrying. Garivetti needs you to lead them to recovery training." Harris felt that the main reason for Kobe's victory over the starters was that these players were out of shape.

Los Angeles can make you famous, and it can make you invisible. Kobe and the others returned to the arena for training, but where will the stars of the Lakers appear?

. . . . . .

"Hey, my guys. Big Diesel Shaq is here." The tall O'Neal finally stepped into the team's training facility before the start of the preseason.

Finally came, Kobe looked to O'Neill, my comrade in arms. In this life, let us create brilliance together.

The name Shaquille was given to him by his biological father, Joseph Toney. O'Neill had to follow his mother Lucy O'Neill to marry Philip Harrison because Joseph was in prison when O'Neill was 9 months old.

O'Neill's stepfather, Philip Harrison, joined the U.S. Army when O'Neill was two years old. When he was young, O'Neill was taller and bigger than other children of the same age, and he was also very naughty, so he was often taught by Philip with a belt.

After graduating from high school, O'Neal entered Louisiana State University. When O'Neal was on the LSU basketball team, he was a two-time NCAA All-South player of the year. In 1991, O'Neal won the NCAA National Player of the Year. On December 3, 1990, in the game against Mississippi State University, O'Neal made 17 blocks and broke the NCAA single-game block record.

He was selected by the Orlando Magic with the No. 1 pick in the draft. During that summer, O'Neal spent considerable time in Los Angeles, improving his basketball skills under Magic Johnson before relocating to Orlando. With teammate Terry Catledge refusing to give up his No. 33 jersey, O'Neal chose to wear No. 32 from his high school days.

In the four seasons of the Magic, he made the playoffs three times. Eliminated the Bulls once, but was swept twice by the Indiana Pacers and the Bulls. The Magic offered O'Neal a seven-year, $69 million contract, hoping to keep the All-Star center. But at that time, O'Neal expected to get an annual salary of 20 million U.S. dollars and a contract with an opt-out option in the third year, but the contract offered by the Magic was not even 10 million U.S. dollars, and there was no opt-out option.

For this reason, O'Neal once asked John Gabriel, general manager of the Magic, why the team executives clearly knew his value and potential, but refused to pay him a salary that matched it? But he gave the answer that because they can't disappoint Ann Fernley Hardaway, they can't give O'Neal a higher price than him.

So O'Neal launched a poll in the Orlando Sentinel, the most influential local newspaper in Orlando. The first question asked was, if the dismissal of employer coach Bryant Hill was a condition for his return, should the Magic follow suit? 82% of fans chose "shouldn't." Another question in the poll was: "Is O'Neal worth $115 million?" "As a result, 91.3% of the fans chose "not worth it". This poll made O'Neill more determined to leave Orlando. He finally learned that the team management and Orlando fans think that An Fernley Hardaway is the magic team The core players, he is just a supporting role.

So O'Neal announced to the outside world that he would sign a seven-year, $120 million contract with the Los Angeles Lakers and officially join the Lakers.
