Chapter 144: Kobe

In the café, Ryu-jeong focused on recommending Kobe Bryant to the two. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 The two came to Italy to investigate and invite Bryant to join Oak Hill High School.

Steve Smith and William didn't have to wait long before Ryuzheng walked out of the hotel, and the three of them sat down in the western restaurant next to the hotel.

After taking their seats, Steve Smith and William did not delay and reported to Long Zheng the results of their work these days.

Knowing that Kobe Bryant is the son of former NBA star Joe Bryant, Steve Smith and Willian quickly find Bryant's family by looking for Joe Bryant, who is playing in Italy.

Steve Smith is not identified, but William, the Bulls' chief scout, is a big name. When the two found Bryant's house, Joe Bryant entertained them very warmly.

At first, Joe Bryant thought that the two were here for themselves, and the Bulls might be planning to offer him a short-term contract, but after a brief conversation, Joe Bryant was surprised that the head coach of the high school basketball team of the American private Oak Hill High School next to Mr. William was named Steve Smith. The reason why the two traveled all the way to Italy was for their third child, Kobe Bryant.

Over the next few days, Steve Smith and William visited Bryant's home every day. When Kobe Bryant trained every day, the two didn't speak, just stood quietly on the side with a notebook, making notes.

Kobe Bryant grew up with a big heart, and suddenly there were two more people standing by and watching him train, but Kobe Bryant didn't care. On the contrary, because of the attention of outsiders, Kobe Bryant's desire to express himself was stimulated, and he tried to dribble with more difficulty.

After a few days of investigation, the two finally determined that what Ryuzheng said was true, and Kobe Bryant is an extremely talented player who will definitely have a place in the NBA as long as he grows up.

After confirming Kobe's talent, the two did not procrastinate, and immediately found Kobe's parents Joe Bryant and Pamela Cox Bryant, and put forward the favorable conditions set by Long Zheng before.

In an effort to entice Kobe Bryant to attend, Oak Hill Middle School offers generous perks. Not only did he provide Bryant with a full scholarship to his middle school years, but Joe Bryant's other two children, Celia and Shaya, were able to attend Oak Hill Middle School for free.

Faced with such lucrative conditions, Joe Bryant was unimpressed.

As a professional footballer, Joe Bryant is not short of money, and although Oak Hill Middle School is full of sincerity and has repeatedly said that Kobe Bryant will do his best to develop him after he attends, he is not willing to pin his child's future on the little-known Oak Hill Middle School.

Seeing that the talks between the two sides were about to collapse, Mr. William stood up in time.

As the Bulls' chief scout, William made a promise to Joe Bryant that because Oak Hill Middle School and the Chicago Bulls are the same owner, and the Dragons own all the shares of both, after Kobe Bryant attends Oak Hill Middle School, he can join the Bulls in his junior and senior years of high school, and the Bulls coaching staff will treat Kobe Bryant as a member of the team for professional training and guidance.

William's commitment directly broke Joe Bryant's psychological defense, and he immediately decided that all three of his children would be enrolled in Oak Hill Middle School.

As his son's basketball coach, Joe Bryant knows Kobe's talent, but he can't guarantee that Kobe will definitely play well, and Steve Smith's favorable conditions and William's commitment are enough for Joe Bryant to settle down.

In such a perfect training environment, if Kobe Bryant can't play famously, then maybe his children are really not suitable for professional basketball. The thought crossed Joe Bryant's mind.

Joe Bryant, who originally planned to retire next year, simply made up his mind to officially retire this year, and moved back to the United States with his family when his three children entered school on September 1.

Fortunately, when Joe Bryant left the NBA and moved his family to Italy, Celia was eight years old, Shaya was seven years old, and Kobe Bryant was six years old, and all three children had already learned to write simple English.

During the six years in Italy, the couple did not let go of their children's English education. Now that I have decided to return to the United States, I don't have to worry about my three children not being able to adapt to their new environment because they don't understand English.

After listening to Steve Smith and William's reports, Long Zheng was excited. Long Zheng knew that the Oak Hill basketball team would welcome the first top superstar to join.

From the tone of the two, Long Zheng could feel that the two just regarded Kobe Bryant as an ordinary star embryo, which was slightly higher than the height reached by Joe Bryant.

Steve Smith and William don't care about Kobe, but Long Zheng is deeply aware of the heights that Kobe can achieve in the future.

From the perspective of physical condition, Kobe Bryant does not have much advantage compared to other NBA stars. It's no wonder that Steve Smith and William don't know enough about Kobe. Compared with physical fitness, what really made Kobe Bryant was his hard work and big heart.

Steve Smith and William would never have imagined that in the next two decades, Kobe Bryant would be recognized as the league's leading point guard after Jordan and once become the biggest professional player in the NBA.
