The scorching summer in Philadelphia didn't interfere with Kobe's training. He worked up a sweat on the court at Raul Merrion High School practicing his three-point shooting.

In the last years of his career, due to an Achilles tendon injury, he used a lot of one-action shooting three-point shots.

The so-called single-action shooting is to rely on the leg to exert force, transfer the power all the way to the fingers that pluck the ball, and then complete the shot. There are many good shooters in the league who use one-action shots, such as Curry, Thompson, JJ Redick, Korver, etc. The advantage of one-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 have a force action, and finally complete the double-action shooting. The advantage of the double-action shot is that it can better ignore the pressure brought by the defenders, and it is also known as a dry shot by the fans. A large number of superstars have used double-action shots, which allows them to shoot undisturbed while heavily guarded.

Bryant was prepared to use a single-action shot for his three-point shot, while his mid-range shot would continue to use his previous double-motion shot. There is also a player like this in the future, Kawaii Leonard, who led the team to win the championship in 2019, and he can play extremely efficient both three-point and mid-range shots.

Kobe Bryant doesn't like to think purely about efficiency, but he vividly remembers the subversion of the entire basketball system by those three-point masters in later generations. He is ready to detonate this three-point trend in advance, so what he has to do is to take the three-point up a notch.

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

"Turn on the ability to view the player's stat status."

"Refresh side quests, and other side quests need to be completed to enable the rest of the features."

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

"Side Mission 2: Swim with Great White Sharks in the Sea."

"Side quest 3: Buy a property in Beijing."

Bryant heard a voice in his ear that only he could hear, and he ignored two strange tasks. Bryant was grateful that the system had given him a chance to do it all over again, but he was eager to see what was going on with Gianna.

"Hey, hey, system, do you hear me?" Bryant slapped his ears and muttered in his mouth.

"If the host asks a question, the system can answer it by completing a side task."

Well, the Black Mamba is ready to show its fangs in the Summer League. So what is this stat value viewing function?

"The host uses the ability to view function on its own, and the use is successful."

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

"Physical Skill B+, Layup Skill S, Dunk Skill S, Mid Shot Skill S+, Three-point Skill A, Ball Control Skill S-, Organizational Skill A, Defensive Skill S."

"The current physical condition, full of energy, very low risk of injury."

"When the ability is used, the cooldown time is 7 days."

Kobe Bryant has accepted the system to bring him into this world, and of course he has accepted the magical function of this system very calmly. He looked at his panel, and sure enough, as he expected, his physical fitness was in dire need of improvement. The rest of the skills are the result of years of hard work and a very high standard. But if you want to make the most of your skills, an excellent physical fitness is indispensable. For example, no matter how powerful the ball control skills are, it is difficult for them to perform under the confrontation of ordinary NBA level.

"BOSS, the Lakers have sent us an invitation to tryout." Pelinka's phone call interrupted Bryant's thoughts.

Los Angeles, which means angel in Spanish and is often referred to by its abbreviation LA, is the most populous city in California; The second most populous city in the United States. Los Angeles is the cultural, financial, and commercial 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. The Staples Center, home of the Lakers, is one of the most successful teams in NBA history, behind only the Boston Celtics. After the retirement of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Magic Johnson, the team struggled in the early 1990s and were looking for a star who could lead them to a 12th championship.

After receiving the invitation, Kobe and Pelinka flew to Los Angeles and headed to the Lakers training hall the next day. The Lakers' current training facility is located at the Toyota Center, a stadium with the same name as the Mosaic's home court. Currently, the gym is shared with the Los Angeles Kings, while the office area is located on another block.

Kobe Bryant has sweated countless times in this venue, looking at the familiar old venue, Kobe Bryant has some emotion.

"Mr. Kobe Bryant, it's a pleasure to meet you." A mild-mannered white old man received Kobe and Pelinka, graceful movements, wise eyes. It can be seen that he was a handsome man when he was young.

"Mr. West, it's my pleasure to meet you." Kobe Bryant didn't wait for someone to introduce him, and walked up to him and gave Jerry West a hug.

"Oh, you're so enthusiastic, young man." The 58-year-old West was a little surprised to wonder why the grim teenager in the scout's report was so enthusiastic about him.

Jason Sean Fuiman's Scouting Report: I once saw Kobe Bryant play at Raul Merrion High School, and he does have a lot of strengths, the biggest of which is maturity, even though he is only 17 years old, Kobe Bryant is already more mature than many NBA players, and he has a strong ability to learn and read the game, and can be a very good finisher. At the same time, Kobe Bryant is still a leader-type player, his team has no point guard and shooter, but the team still won the championship, even if it is three people in the game, he can dominate the game, and he is very versatile, can play all five positions. Of course, Kobe Bryant is not so perfect, in terms of shortcomings, although he can play 5 positions, but each position is not the top, if he is put to play as a point guard, his ball control skills will also be doubtful. In addition, Kobe Bryant's age of 17 is not an advantage, which may make him unable to cope with the cruelty of the NBA, and his physical condition is not necessarily ready for confrontation. Template: Grant Hill.

"Of course, I've seen every video of your game." Kobe smiled, he wouldn't tell West how important it was in his career, how deep their relationship was, and all emotions were disguised by Kobe as a fan of his brother.

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

"All right, lad. Let's start this trial. Jerry West already knows a lot about Kobe Bryant through the tape and scouting reports, and is preparing for this trial with head coach Del Harris.

The results of the physical fitness test were the same as those of the Philadelphia test, and Kobe Bryant also performed well in the shooting test, and finally played a small 3v3 game with the team's trainers. Kobe Bryant showed his talent with ease in this game.

"Kid, you're special." Jerry West is arguably one of the people in the world who knows the essence of basketball best, single-handedly forming the OK dynasty, the Warriors dynasty. He knows which players have championship genes, and he knows which players are bound to be great.

And all the perception of basketball seems to have been broken by Kobe, how can a 17-year-old boy have such mature offensive and defensive skills? He's not going to be the next Grant Hill, he's not even going to be the next Jordan. He saw in Kobe Bryant what could be the next legend.

Del Harris, the Lakers' current head coach nicknamed the Silver Foxes, was also on hand at the trial.

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

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

In the 1994-1995 season, he was named NBA Coach of the Year for leading the Lakers' youth team to rapid improvement. Harris is also very fond of the young star of the future. He values Kobe's talent very much, and this trial made him very satisfied.

"Sign this kid, Jerry. We're going to get a superstar. Harris said to West on the sidelines during the tryout.

"Mr. Bryant, would you like to join the Lakers?" After discussing with Harris, West said solemnly to Kobe.

"Delightfully, sir." Bryant looked at West and Harris with a smile, and he wanted to keep this image in his heart forever.

"No intention to bother you, but we need to talk about Bryant's draft prospects." Rob Pelinka stepped up and it was up to him to get enough of Bryant from the team. So West took Pelinka to the office to discuss the details, while Bryant and Harris continued to chat on the sidelines.

"First of all, I have to tell you that my agent and I will not accept a lotto or less signing. You know, the 76ers also praised Mr. Kobe Bryant's tryout performance. Pelinka said that the lotto lottery is necessary.

"Okay, that's no problem. We'll trade to get a lotto draw. I can make a draft promise to you to pick Kobe Bryant with a lottery pick, but you also have to promise me not to go to tryouts for other balls. West knew that if Bryant continued to try out with other teams, he wouldn't be a player to pick up for a lottery pick.

"I promise you, what about the status of the team? Mr. Bryant needed an excellent environment to grow up in. ”

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