My Name is Kobe Bryant

The hot summer in Philadelphia did not interfere with Kobe's training. He was sweating his 3-point shot on the Lower Merion High court.

At the end of his career, due to an Achilles tendon injury, he used a lot of single-action three-pointers.

The so-called single-action shooting is to rely on the legs to exert force, transmit the force to the fingers that dial the ball, and then complete the shot. There are many good shooters in the later leagues who use single-action shots, such as Curry, Thompson, JJ-Redick, Korver, etc. The advantage of single-action shooting is that it will be more stable.

The opposite of single-action shooting is double-action shooting, which is to use the strength of the legs and waist to jump to the highest point and perform a forceful action, and finally complete the double-action shooting. The advantage of double-action shooting is that it can better ignore the oppression brought by defensive players, and it is also called a dry shot by fans. A large number of superstars use double-action shooting, which allows them to shoot without interference under strict defense.

Kobe is going to use a single-action shot when shooting a three-pointer, while the mid-range shot will continue to use the previous double-action shot. There is also a player like this in later generations, Kawhi Leonard, who led the team to win the championship with a single core in 2019, can play extremely high efficiency in both three-pointers and mid-range shots.

Kobe doesn't like purely considering efficiency, but he can vividly remember the subversion of the entire basketball system by those three-point masters in later generations. He is going to detonate this three-point trend in advance, so what he has to do is to raise the three-pointer to another level.

"Ding, the life restart system is fully charged."

"Enable the player's ability value status viewing function."

"Refresh side missions, other side missions need to be completed to open other functions."

"Side Mission 1: Capture the 1996 Summer League Championship."

"Side task 2: Swim with great white sharks in the sea."

"Submission 3: Buy a property in Beijing."

Kobe heard voices in his ears that only he could hear, and he ignored two strange tasks. Bryant is grateful that the system gave him a chance to do it all over again, but he is eager to know how Gianna is doing.

"Hi, hi, system, can you hear me?" Kobe patted his ears and muttered.

"The host asks questions, which can be answered by the system after completing side missions."

Well, the Black Mamba is ready to show his fangs in summer league. So what is this ability value viewing function?

"The host used the ability viewing function on himself, and the use was successful."

"Kobe Bryant, basketball player, position matching degree PG90%, SG100%, SF95%, PF80%, C70%."

"B+ in physical fitness, S in layup skills, S in dunk skills, S+ in mid-range shooting skills, A in three-point skills, S- in ball handling skills, A in organizational skills, and S in defensive skills."

"The current physical condition is full of vitality and the risk of injury is extremely low."

"The ability is used up, and the cooling time is 7 days."

Kobe Bryant has accepted that the system brought him into this world, and of course accepted the magical functions of this system very calmly. He looked at his panel, and sure enough, as he expected, his physical fitness urgently needed to be improved. Other skills benefit from his years of hard work and practice, and are of a fairly high standard. But if you want to bring out your skills, an excellent physical fitness is indispensable. For example, no matter how good the ball-handling skills are, a streetball master can hardly perform against ordinary NBA-level confrontations.

"Boss, the Lakers sent us a trial invitation." Pelinka's call interrupted Kobe's thoughts.

Los Angeles, which means angel in Spanish, is often called its abbreviation LA, the most populous city in California; the second most populous city in the United States. Los Angeles is the cultural, financial and business center of Southern California. The city is known for its Mediterranean climate, ethnic diversity, Hollywood, entertainment industry and sprawling metropolis.

The Los Angeles Lakers are an American professional basketball team based in Los Angeles. Home to the Great Western Forum, the Lakers are one of the most successful teams in NBA history, second only to the Boston Celtics. After Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Magic Johnson retired, the team struggled in the early 1990s, searching for a star to lead them to a 12th championship.

After receiving the invitation, Kobe and Pelinka flew to Los Angeles and went to the Lakers training facility the next day. The Lakers' current practice facility is located at the Toyota Center, a facility with the same name as the Mosaic's home stadium. The training facility is currently shared with the Los Angeles Kings, and the office area is located in another block.

Kobe has sweated countless times in this venue, looking at the familiar old venue, Kobe was a little emotional.

"Mr. Kobe Bryant, nice to meet you." A gentle white old man received Kobe and Pelinka with elegant movements and wise eyes. It can be seen that he was a handsome man when he was young.

"Mr. West, it's an honor to meet you." Kobe didn't wait for others to introduce him, he walked up familiarly and gave Jerry West a hug.

"Oh, boy, you are so enthusiastic." The 58-year-old West was a little surprised, not knowing why the cold boy in the scout report was so enthusiastic about him.

Jason Sean Fuiman's scouting report: I once saw Kobe play at Lower Merion High School. He does have many advantages. The biggest advantage is maturity. Although he is only 17 years old, Kobe is more mature than many NBA players. , and his ability to learn and read the game is very strong, and he can become a very good finisher. At the same time, Kobe is still a leader player. His team has no point guards and shooters, but the team still won the championship. Even if three people double-team him, he can dominate the game, and he is very versatile and can play all 5 teams. Location. Of course, Kobe is not so perfect. In terms of shortcomings, although he can play all 5 positions, none of them are top-notch. If he is allowed to serve as a point guard, his ball-handling skills will also make people doubtful. In addition, Kobe's 17-year-old age is not considered an advantage, which may make him unable to cope with the cruelty of the NBA, and his physical condition may not be ready for confrontation. Template: Grant Hill.

"Of course, I've watched video of every game you play." Bryant smiled. He would not tell West how important he was in his career, how deep their relationship was, and all emotions were covered. Kobe pretended to be a fan.

West looked at Kobe, he simply thought that this kid just liked his career performance when he played for the Lakers, and he felt Kobe's love for him.

"Okay, boy. Let's start this workout." Jerry West had learned a lot about Bryant through tapes and scouting reports, and prepared the workout with team coach Del Harris.

The results of the physical fitness test and the Philadelphia test were the same, and Kobe also performed well in the shooting test, and finally had a 3V3 small game with the team trainer. In this game, Kobe showed his talent with ease.

"Child, you are special." Jerry West can be said to be one of the people who understand the essence of basketball best in the world, and he single-handedly formed the OK Dynasty and the Warriors Dynasty. He knows which players have championship genes, and he knows which players are bound to be great.

And all the cognition of basketball seems to be broken by Kobe. How can a 17-year-old boy have such mature offensive and defensive skills? He won't be the next Grant Hill, he won't even be the next Jordan. He saw in Bryant what would make him the next legend.

Del Harris, the current head coach of the Lakers, nicknamed the Silver Fox, also participated in the trial on the spot.

Del Harris is an old acquaintance of our Chinese fans. In 2004, Del Harris coached the Chinese national men's basketball team. He led the Chinese team led by NBA All-Star Yao Ming to defeat the European teams Serbia and Montenegro in the group stage of the 2004 Athens Olympic Games and entered the quarterfinals.

Nicknamed Silver Fox, he has rich coaching experience. He has coached the Rockets, Bucks and Lakers. The NBA regular season has a total record of 554 wins and 457 losses, with a winning percentage of 54.8%. The postseason record is 38 wins and 48 losses. During the Rockets, he also guided Olajuwon to become a super center in the NBA. The Lakers' second-round pick Nick Van Exel and future All-Star guard Eddie Jones were all trained by him.

In the 1994-1995 season, he was named NBA Coach of the Year because he led the Lakers youth team to improve rapidly. Harris is also very fond of this young future star. He values ​​Kobe's talent very much, and he is very satisfied with this trial training.

"Sign this kid, Jerry. We're going to gain a superstar." Harris said to West on the side during the trial.

"Mr. Bryant, are you willing to join the Lakers?" West said solemnly to Kobe after discussing with Harris.

"With pleasure, sir." Bryant looked at West and Harris with a smile, and he wanted to engrave this picture in his heart forever.

"I don't intend to bother you, but we have to talk about Bryant's draft prospects." Rob Pelinka stood up, and it was his job to get enough benefits for Bryant from the team. So West took Pelinka to the office to discuss the details, while Kobe and Harris continued to chat about tactics on the sidelines.

"Well, first of all, I have to tell you that my agent and I will not accept a lottery pick. You know, the 76ers also praised Mr. Kobe Bryant for his trial performance." Pelinka That being said, lottery picks are necessary.

"Okay, there's no problem with that. We'll trade for a lottery pick. I can make a draft promise to you and pick Kobe with the lottery pick, but you also have to promise me that you won't try for another ball. Training." West knew that if Bryant went on to try out for other teams, he wouldn't be a lottery pick.

"I promise you, what about the status of the team? Mr. Bryant needs an excellent growth environment."

"Kobe Bryant will be the face of the future for the Lakers."
