The Rest, Only Noise

Chapter 1193 He will definitely become a great player in the future

Jim Buss would never have known that he would grab the most successful draft of Jerry West's career with the help of Louie and Zhao Yuanzheng.

When little Bass came outside West's office, he took a deep breath.

West wasn't the easy-going type of Louis.

In fact, Buss Jr. was a little scared of this heroic figure who had worked for the Lakers for decades.

For various reasons, West also despised little Buss.

Hearing that Buss wanted to report to work, West felt as absurd as seeing someone insisting that Rinko Kinoshita pretend to be a student—How?dare?you?

"Jim, should your business trip be the responsibility of the president?"

West's implication is - are you looking for me to be a bird?

"I have a major discovery, but Coach Lu is not in the office right now." Buss said excitedly, "I just want to find someone to share my discovery, it would be better if the other party is a professional!"

Little Bass's words convinced West by 50%.

Is this dude really going to travel for a month for something in the team?

How much time will he put into work during that month?

seven days? ten days? half a month?

Or a day?

West didn't believe that Little Bass could really gain anything, so naturally he didn't think the other party's discovery would be of any value.

But since he came to the door, even if West didn't believe it, he had to spend some time with him.

"Show me." West held out his hand. "Your discovery."

West hurriedly took out the initial observation report of Kobe Bryant completed by Zhao Yuanzheng and the videotape of one of the games.

"High school player?"

West suspects that little Buss is having fun with himself.

Indeed, Garnett is also a high school player.

But how talented is Garnett? No other high school player has reached that level.

"Yeah, so I'd say it was a serendipitous discovery."

"This Kobe. What grade is he this year?"

"Twelfth grade, graduating soon."

West doesn't believe that in addition to Garnett's talent, there will be high school players who choose to skip college.

Unlike Louis, West skipped Zhao Yuanzheng's tirade and turned directly to pages related to technology.

After reading it hastily, West picked up the video tape that Bass put on the table.

When the video first started, West was eager to fast-forward.

Gradually, he found himself able to sit down and watch the state high school game.

Kobe wears No. 33 on the court and can play anywhere.

West was quickly drawn to the teenager.

Even if he can only observe Kobe Bryant through videotape, West can see his comprehensive skills, solid basic skills, and innate desire to compete.

"What's he got to do with Joe Bryant?" West was acutely reminded of a certain Philadelphia talent who didn't deliver.

Little Bass laughed: "Kobe is Joe's son."

"No wonder."

"Jerry, what do you think of him?"

West had to agree that Joe Sr.'s genes had a positive impact on Bryant, but it would be unwise to draw conclusions about high school players based on just a roll of high school game tape.

"You went out for a month, shouldn't you just bring back a videotape?" West wanted to see more of Bryant's games.

Hearing that, Bass took out all the dozen or so tapes he brought back from Philadelphia.

"This is Kobe's game video this year. In addition, coach Zhao is currently collecting Kobe's previous game video in Philadelphia. I believe we can build a systematic and comprehensive Kobe observation report."

West couldn't believe he had a day when he had a crush on Buss.

This kid looks like he is not stingy, and it is difficult for him to do anything great.

Compared with him, Jenny is more professional in business and team operation, but a heir like Bass who is willing to go to the front line to search for talents for the team seems to be more suitable as the future head of the Lakers.

"Does Coach Lu still not know Kobe?" West asked.

Little Bass repeated, "Yes, he's not in the office right now."

"You go and report to him, but Kobe's observation report will stay with me first. After I finish watching these videos, I will submit these reports of you and my personal advice to him."

"Jerry, it's great that you're willing to help. Coach Lu, you know, he doesn't look down on me at all. If I took this report and put it in front of him, he would definitely not even look at it."

Although Bass's words were impeccable, West still found it strange.

Little Bath's business trip was approved by Louis.

When Jenny was in trouble, Louis also blocked it.

Moreover, Louis looked confident at the time, as if he knew that Little Bass would definitely gain something.

But now the little Bass looks like Louis doesn't appreciate him at all?

Is there any problem in between?

West didn't know, and didn't think much about it, because Louis and Little Bass were not the same.

One is the godfather who became famous in New York, the savior of professional basketball in Los Angeles known as the Messiah, and a big man who came to break the curse of the Lakers.

One is the low-powered second generation who can even ignore family affection for the sake of the Lakers' succession.

What connection can there be between them?

West stopped thinking about it, and spent two days watching the tapes that Bass brought back.

Through these tapes, he can be sure that Kobe is a unique talent.

But if you want to know more about it, you have to invite him to a workout with the Lakers.

Now that Kobe Bryant has not graduated from high school, the trial training seems to be premature.

Unless Kobe skips high school and goes straight to the NBA draft, the Lakers will have little chance of picking him.

Because by the time he goes to college and plays, there will be no more scouts to express doubts about his future.

He's an enhanced version of Jerry Stackhouse, if not a second Jordan.

Besides, he wasn't as troubled as Stackhouse.

This is a talent not to be missed.

West organized the information, plus the notes he made while watching the video, and prepared to hand it over to Louis.

But now Louis has led the team to the away game.

It will be a week before he comes back.

West didn't want to wait a week in Los Angeles.

On a whim, he wondered, why can't I go to Philadelphia and watch Kobe play in person?

why not?

Thinking of this, West handed over the business to Mitch Kupchak and set off to Philadelphia to watch the game in person.

This trip~www.wuxiaspot.com~ has given West more harvest.

He learned more about Kobe, about how studious and winning the kid was, about his fighting spirit, about his hard work, about his leadership and professionalism—it seems odd to use the word professionalism for a high school student , but it couldn't be more suitable for Kobe.

In his spare time, he swims, runs on the track, trains with weights in the gym, and takes 2,000 shots a day.

Zhao Yuanzheng, who observed Kobe for a month, said to West: "Competition is something written in his DNA. As long as he can get better, he is even willing to be an antichrist."

"This is a bit too much." West was stunned for a while.

"but."

West watched Kobe Bryant play five on the court, flicker in the air and then pull the bar to score. If he came to play under Louis, he would be reprimanded for his wonderful performance just now.

"He's going to be a great player for sure."
