"BOSS, I've convinced the Lakers to let that Bruce Bowen and Ben Wallace join your sparring team for the Summer League. The two of them also agree to participate as your sparring partner without receiving a salary. It didn't take long for Pelinka to call.

"I've also communicated with the players and they'll be arriving at the Lakers training hall soon. Also, when I was communicating about it, I was contacted by the owner of the team, Jerry Bas, and he wanted to meet you. "It took a lot of work for Pelinka to get the players and manage the players, and Bowen and Wallace were excited about his sky-high signing prospects. And West is also willing to give Kobe Bryant a face, anyway, the summer league is also made up of a lot of inconsequential players, not many more of these two players, and no less of them.

"I know you can do it, man. Dr. Bass, make an appointment for me, I can't wait to see him. Kobe Bryant felt double happiness, he once fought to ruptured his Achilles tendon in order to fulfill Jeribas's dying promise, led the team to the playoffs, and he could see this old guy again in this life.

Jerry Buss got his start in real estate, and in 1979 Jerry Buss bought the Los Angeles Lakers, the Los Angeles Kings (hockey hockey team) and the Los Angeles Forum Arena (the Lakers' former home court) for $67.5 million, witnessed by a 50-member team of lawyers. Of the $67.5 million, $18 million was spent on the Los Angeles Lakers, an NBA team.

During his leadership, great superstars such as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Magic Johnson, O'Neal and Kobe Bryant shined here. The Lakers were valued at $16 million alone in 1979, while Forbes magazine estimated that the Lakers in 2013 were worth $1 billion. On the evening of February 18, 2013, Beijing time, he died of cancer in Los Angeles, USA, at the age of 80. It can be said that the glory of the Lakers in modern times is inseparable from his leadership.

The next night, Bryant was invited to meet Jerebus at Spago Restaurant in Beverly Hills. This is a restaurant run by the famous chef Wolfgang Puck, which is loved by Hollywood and many other wealthy people.

"Nice to meet you, Dr. Bass." Kobe Bryant's trademark smile was on his face, and he was genuinely happy.

"Hello, kid." The 63-year-old Jerebus has blonde hair and is slightly fat. Bryant and Bass had a nice dinner meeting. They talk about basketball, they talk about society, they talk about food. Buss had a good impression of the 17-year-old boy and knew that Kobe Bryant was very talented, and he had seen a lot of talented players. But there were very few players who could talk to him like that, and he had seen too many black players with nothing but basketball in his mind.

The last player to talk to Buss like this was Magic Johnson, you must know that Buss got a doctorate in chemistry at the age of 24, and Kobe Bryant and Magic have some traits in common. He believed that he knew Kobe Bryant from all sides, and in the end he came to a conclusion that this kid would succeed.

"Would you like to stay with the Lakers forever?" As he was leaving, Dr. Bass asked Bryant a question.

"One day of purple gold, a lifetime Laker." This is the promise given by Kobe, a promise, a daughter.

"Very well, lad." Bass got an answer that satisfied him, and he decided to give Bryant enough support.

。。。。。。

Three days later, the Lakers training gym. Kobe Bryant is in a heads-up battle with Derrick Fisher.

Fisher's defensive posture is very standard, with open hands, resolute eyes, and already small muscles with a lot of deterrence.

Bryant held the ball, kicked the ground with his center of gravity, and quickly started to break through to the right. The young Fisher was quick on his feet, reacted, and slid back to jam Bryant's forward lane.

Kobe Bryant dribbled the ball to his left hand, and added a step after pulling the ball, creating a very wide shooting space, and the area near the free throw line was also Kobe's hot zone, jumping up and shooting directly, and the ball went into the frame.

"You can't guard me, you don't interfere with my shooting at all, your defense is as soft as a marshmallow!" Bryant likes to trash talk to his teammates during training, which is his way of leading, and some players with fragile hearts are completely unable to accept the brink of collapse, while many players with strong hearts benefit from it. But it is undeniable that his way of doing so makes most of his teammates dare not take it lightly on the field in training.

Fisher has been beaten by Kobe Bryant in the past two days. He couldn't understand how such a 17-year-old high school student could be so powerful. Is this the difference between a 24th pick and a 13th pick? How strong should that be the champion? He fell into self-contemplation.

Two days ago, Derek Fisher felt like he was at the top of his life. Drafted by the Los Angeles Lakers, he became a big celebrity in Little Rock, Arkansas. In this small place, he is the brightest star in Stone Town, and there will be people who will talk to him when he walks on the street. This is an experience he has never had in his life, but he is still indulging in the enthusiasm of the big sisters in his hometown, and he has not spent a few days of good life when he receives a call from the management.

"Mr. Fisher, I'm Jerry West, the CEO of the Lakers. Yes, the team's training plan has changed and you need to come to the team in advance to report and prepare for the summer league. ”

He didn't dare to anger the management, so he had to rush to Los Angeles with reluctance. The day before, I was still feeling the warmth of my hometown, and the next day I met this little devil in the training hall! He pulled me and insisted on going head-to-head with me, whoever loses will be the little brother!

My boss in Stone Town will lose to a 17-year-old high school student, it's just a joke, even if I use my left hand and don't shoot, you hairy boy can't beat me. Fisher, who was originally going to accept a younger brother and start his Lakers career smoothly, made him doubt his life in the next encounter, let alone let one hand and not shoot. Under Kobe's defense, he couldn't dribble at all, and was stealed as soon as he dribbled. What can a point guard do if he can't dribble?

Kobe Bryant's offense made Fisher even more incomprehensible, he counted, 21 points in the heads-up game, he was passed 9 times, some balls Kobe Bryant didn't seem to be happy after passing him, and then held the ball and pulled it outside the three-point line to do it again, is he the devil?

In the end, the score of 21:0 declared Fisher successful as the 17-year-old's younger brother. Fisher was a little sad, but he was still very convinced of Kobe's skills, and he also accepted the identity of Kobe's younger brother.

But I never thought that after going head-to-head, this devil actually dragged me from morning to night in the name of my eldest brother, and I haven't experienced the prosperity of Los Angeles. And if you resist a little, you will be beaten and scolded, is there anyone to take care of it, my old fish is bitter.

"Old fish! What are you thinking, you dare to wander! Kobe Bryant looked at Fisher, who was immersed in his own world, a little big, the young Fisher is very worthy of training, he is a future champion starting point guard, he has a lot of room for growth, but it is not okay to be in a daze like this, he must be strict with him! So Bryant picked up the basketball and threw it at Fisher's head.

The "bang" basketball and Fisher's head collided violently.

Kobe Bryant looked at Fisher, who fell to the ground and convulsed, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, when the bag on his head was swollen, he must have understood my good intentions.
