"Hurry up! Pierre! Hurry up and sign that damn contract! "At eBay's headquarters in San Jose, California, Whitman threw the Bulls and Lakers' sports newspapers on eBay's founder Pierre Omidyar's desk once again.

"Take it easy, man."

"! I've finalized all the details with Kobe Bryant and Magic, so hurry up and sign those contracts for me! ”

“OK，OK。 Why are you so impatient, life is so beautiful, but you are in a hurry. ”

"Damn, are you really stupid? Kobe Bryant killed Jordan yesterday! He is to us what Jordan is to NIKE! This would build a great business dynasty! ”

"It's not that exaggerated, I don't know much about basketball."

"That's that exaggerated, so don't paddle! Otherwise, I will unite with the board of directors to remove you from power! ”

"Damn, is our brotherhood so fragile?" Pierre Omidia hurriedly signed some of the documents, and some documents needed to be signed by both parties at the notary office.

Mamba Sports, this company, is established.

As a subsidiary of eBay, Pierre Omidia will contact the designer and the production workshop as soon as possible to complete the production of the first generation of sneakers as soon as possible.

Next, online and offline sales are also what eBay will do.

That's why Kobe Bryant chose to work with them, eBay's influence among young people is getting bigger and bigger, and the audience for Kobe Bryant's sneakers must coincide. From design to production to sales, it is very complicated to manage and manage it step by step, especially since Kobe's idea is not limited to sneakers.

The contract is large, the division is high, and there is a right to speak. So working with eBay is definitely the best choice.

...

On December 18, the Lakers went back-to-back on the road.

This is the Lakers' second opponent on the road in four straight games, and the Lakers are in Milwaukee to face the Bucks.

The city of Milwaukee is located in the southeastern state of Wisconsin, on the west shore of Lake Michigan, and is the largest city and economic center of Wisconsin. The city of Milwaukee has a mild climate and comfortable life in all seasons, and is known as "a beautiful place by the lake."

In fact, Milwaukee's first MLB basketball team was the Milwaukee Hawks, who moved to St. Louis in 1955-56 after four seasons that didn't receive enough support.

Milwaukee's second team was much luckier, entering the NBA league with the Phoenix Suns after spending a $2 million franchise fee, and finally, the team named the team after the Bucks because it stands for "energy, jump, speed and agility."

The team has won a championship once in its history, and it was brought by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and triple-double king Oscar Robertson.

Fast forward 26 years since they last won a championship, and the current Bucks are a youth team led by coach Chris Ford.

This youth army is not to be underestimated, and currently ranks 6th in the East with a record of 13-9. It can be said that there are no major problems and it is sure that it can make the playoffs.

Their team boss was '94 No. 1 pick Glenn Robinson, who was born in Gary, Indiana, and made a name for himself in high school before attending Purdue University, where he was named Naismith College Player of the Year in his junior year. In 1994, Green Robinson entered the NBA Draft and was selected by the Milwaukee Bucks as the top pick.

The next thing happened to change the league's rules, and the big dog Glenn Robinson refused to report to the small city of Milwaukee unless he signed a big contract.

After a stalemate, the team compromised and offered a rookie contract with no one before or after — a 10-year total salary of $68 million — for the sake of this top-tier forward with explosive physical talent and well-rounded offensive skills.

The following year, the NBA introduced a rookie salary cap to avoid another Robinson.

In his rookie season, Robinson averaged 21.9 points per game and was named to the 1996 Summer Olympics Dream Team, but was unable to make the trip due to injury.

The second-in-command Wen Baker is also a talented interior player, who graduated from the University of Hartford in 1993 and was selected by the Bucks in the eighth round of the draft that year.

In the second year of his career, Wenbeck was selected as an All-Star, and last year he played an all-round performance of 21.1 points, 9.9 rebounds and 2.6 assists to continue to be selected.

The third core is this year's No. 5 show, Ray Allen, with a height of 1.96 meters, a slender physique, and explosive jumping and dunking ability, but with a silky feel.

At the beginning of the season, many media often compared Ray Allen and Kobe Bryant, similar body types, similar physical fitness. As the season progressed, Kobe's performance undoubtedly shook off Ray Allen's countless notches, but it would be unfair to compare it with a top rookie like Kobe Bryant, who came out once in a decade.

As a No. 5 pick point guard, averaging 13.4 points, 4.0 rebounds and 2.6 assists in 30.9 minutes per game in his rookie season is already quite a good performance.

In the eyes of most American media, although Lei Allen, who has just turned 21 years old, is not as good as Kobe, he still has a lot of potential to tap.

Due to the game against the Bulls just yesterday, the Lakers' opening performance was a bit sluggish.

As soon as the opening game, Glenn Robinson used continuously, and his strong body crushed Bowen and led the team to break through the Lakers' forward defense.

The big dog's scoring means are very rich, breaking, mid-shot, air cutting, and continuous back-to-back hits. Led the team to play an attack wave and opened the score.

At 25:32 in the first quarter, the Bucks took the lead, and Bryant felt a little cold after hitting the last three-pointer yesterday, scoring only 2 points on 1-of-4 shooting in the first quarter.

In the second quarter, Horry played steadily and steadily, and the Lakers hit three points in a row to get the score back.

After starting the game, O'Neal's play tightened the score. Bryant gave up defending opposing point guard Sherman Douglas and switched to defending Ray Allen.

The 96 generation of Mamba class was launched again, and the two of them rushed left and right in the arena, but Kobe Bryant was always one step ahead of Allen, which made Allen's offense suffer consecutive setbacks.

At halftime, the Lakers 53:54 Bucks.

Yibian fought again, the big dog was a little dumb, and the Lakers took advantage of the situation to play a wave of fast-break counterattacks and overtake the score.

The back-to-back pressing defense caused a lot of problems for the Bucks, and the Bucks' lack of playmaking was exposed. Consecutive broken balls, counterattacked fast attack.

The Lakers were 28:19 in the third quarter. Lead by 9 points in the quarter and keep opponents under 20 points.

The fourth quarter was a continuation of the third quarter, and the Lakers played wave after wave of offense. The bucks, on the other hand, have lost their rules, and the big dog Wenbeck is fighting on its own.

Ray Allen, you ask? In this game, after Kobe Bryant switched to him, he was invisible on the court, and at the end of the game, Ray Allen scored only 7 points on 3-of-13 shooting.

Although Kobe Bryant also felt cold, he scored a lot of easy points in the fast-break counterattack, and his overall performance of 7-of-15, 19 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists was not ashamed.

Big dog Glenn Robinson was the best player in the game, shooting 18-of-30 from the field, and his crazy shots were exchanged for 39 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists.

It's hard to say whether his offense helped or hurt the team, after all, the Bucks' role players don't have much scoring ability, and this is a team with a misconfiguration.

At the end of the game, the Lakers 113:105 Bucks closed this back-to-back game on the road.
