NBA: In what era, still playing traditional basketball

The other side.

Boston.

North Shore Garden Arena.

After learning about the performance of the Yees Summer League.

The Celtics management was overjoyed.

Especially those who had previously questioned the decision of "Cardinal" Auerbach.

At the moment, they all convinced.

Sure enough, ginger is still old and spicy!

A legend of this team.

The vision is as good as ever!

Found the treasure!

Auerbach sits in a large chair in the office /

With a cigar in his mouth, he swallowed.

He picked up the phone in his hand.

Calling an old friend "LOGO Man" - Jerry West!

The phone rang for a while before it was connected.

"Arnold, you guy called me at this time, it's probably okay!"

On the phone, came Jerry West's unhappy voice.

He had already guessed what the Auerbach guy was going to say next.

At the draft.

His favorite rookie is also Yes.

Even contacted the Timberwolves to prepare for the No. 5 pick.

The result was not expected.

This guy Auerbach actually forcibly cut off his beard and snatched Yees with the No. 3 pick.

After watching the Celtics and Raptors game today.

He felt that he had missed hundreds of millions!

This kind of super center should be a natural fit for the Lakers!

"Haha, Jerry, it seems that this time it was me who won again!"

"Yes is the cornerstone player I've been looking for, the Celtics' rebuild, it's going to be done first!"

Listen to Auerbach's smug voice on the phone.

Jerry West was particularly depressed.

The two have been old rivals since their playing days.

Until he retired from play, he became a coach and led the team head-to-head.

Now the two of them have also become general managers of the Celtics and Lakers respectively.

They have fought all their lives.

That is, the enemy.

They are also friends who have been friends for many years.

Player period.

As the NBA's "logo man" Jerry West is undoubtedly the better one.

But when it came to coaching.

"Cardinal" Auerbach became a more successful guy.

So in the eyes of both of them, it's now a 1:1 draw.

Who can become a better general manager will bring an end to this grudge between the two.

And Auerbach, who chose Yes, a powerful center forward, is obviously half a position ahead.

"Arnold, you're proud too early!"

"Although I missed Yes, we Lakers also selected a very good young man this year!"

"You mean Kobe Bryant!?"

Before Jerry West could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Auerbach.

Obviously, he also pays close attention to the Lakers' games.

"I have to say that this bald boy really has great potential, and I see similar traits to Michael in him!"

"But he's too young, and I don't think a high school student can help the Lakers complete their rebuild!"

If in the summer league, Yes's 40+20+10 shocked the world.

Then Kobe, a high school student who can score 30 points in a single game.

It's eye-catching.

Although it is still slightly immature.

But quite a few fans still from his game.

See similar to Jordan - killer temperament!

If physical talent can be discovered by tryouts.

Basketball skills can be improved with hard practice.

So what determines whether a player becomes a superstar?

Competitive.

The spirit of never giving up.

And killer temperament is the key to determining the upper limit!

Kobe Bryant is a young man who is immature.

But his inner temperament also made Auerbach look sideways.

Jerry West knew Auerbach had a point, but he didn't want to fall for it.

He continued to say with a hard mouth: "Hmph, Arnold, are you interested in going to Rocky Mountain with me?" "

"The next game is exactly the game between the Celtics and the Lakers!"

"Let's see who has the better vision of the draft!"

Since the Devil Bird era in the 80s, both the Celtics and the Lakers have been in the trenches for a while.

But with Auerbach and Jerry West in management, that is quietly changing.

In the 96-year draft, known as the golden generation.

The two chose an outstanding young man.

They all firmly believe that they have chosen a genius.

Since the argument is inconclusive.

Then go to the scene and see the duel between the two young people.

"Just what I want!"

Hearing this proposal, Auerbach took a deep breath of the cigar in his hand, and a smile appeared in his eyes!

He had too much faith in Yes.

The Celtics have a dominant interior lineman who doesn't even know how to lose the next game!

Kobe Bryant does have great potential, and even has the opportunity to become a first-class guard in the league in the future.

But at the end of the day, he's just a high school student.

Compared with Yes, it is far behind.

The advantage is in me!

Watch the game live and see Jerry West deflated.

What could be cooler than that?

Thinking about it, Auerbach felt.

Cigars in the mouth.

More fragrant!

............

U.S. Time.

Mid-July.

Rocky Mountain Center Arena.

The second game of the Boston Celtics Summer League is about to begin.

Their opponent is the Los Angeles Lakers with Kobe Bryant.

2 hours before the start of the game.

Inside this small arena.

It's packed.

Anytime, even if it's just summer league.

The yellow-green battle can still attract the attention of countless fans.

It can be said that the history of the NBA over the past few decades.

That's the history of the Celtics and Lakers!

As two giants who have almost monopolized more than half of the championships.

Every competition is full of topics.

A large number of journalists also appeared at the scene.

Armed with a long gun and a short cannon, waiting for the opportunity to interview.

In addition to the heat brought by the classic yellow-green battle.

The two rookies drafted by the Lakers and Celtics this year are undoubtedly the focus of the game.

Not to mention how shocking Yees's 40+20+10 debut was.

On the other side, Junior Bryant scored 30 points as a high school student.

Also makes Lakers fans feel good!

The match is about to start, and the players from both sides of the court are warming up.

Bryant was surrounded by many press groups for pre-game interviews.

Although the juvenile department is young, it has already begun to show the style of a general.

In the face of long guns and short cannons, there was no trace of nervousness, but he raised his head high, his face full of confidence: "I know that Ye Si's strength is very strong, he scored 42 points in the last game!" "

"But compared to scoring ability, I definitely don't lose to anyone!"

"There is only one winner today, and that is me!"

"I will burst anyone who dares to stand in my way!"

In just a few words, it perfectly shows Kobe's character!

Assertive!

Arrogant!

Highly competitive and never afraid of a challenge!

His words also excited the Lakers fans at the scene.

The 18-year-old high school graduate is about to overflow the arena.

This is simply a natural superstar seedling!

In the front row of the audience, Auerbach couldn't help but laugh: "Jerry, this young man you chose has a lot of personality!" "

"If it weren't for Ye Si, maybe I would have envied you!"

I have to say that Kobe's competitive spirit and confidence are indeed very attractive.

In a trance.

Auerbach even thinks he's seen a younger version of Michael Jordan!

Listening to his friend's words, Jerry West couldn't help but smile.

Look into Kobe's eyes.

Full of love.

Can dig out a good seedling in the 13th pick.

His luck was indeed good.
