Chapter Seventy-Seven: Return to Philadelphia

After the game against the Big Three, Bryant collapsed into a large figure and lay on the physiotherapy bed. Fisher and Ben Wallace are giving him a massage.

"Boss! How's that going? ”

"Boss! Is this a good idea? ”

Jeff and Gary on the side looked at each other, are these licking dogs robbing us of our jobs!

"Kobe, go to Philadelphia for the next game. Your hometown? O'Neill, who was doing physiotherapy in the next bed, flipped through his schedule. There will be a three-in-a-row fixture.

Today is November 24, and the team will play the 76ers on the 26th, the Celtics on the 27th, and the Pistons on the 29th.

"Are you going back to Philadelphia?" Kobe Bryant is very much looking forward to this game, where there is the old Joe family, there is the coach of Raul Mayne, there are relatives and friends, and there is that fateful opponent.

Allen Iverson and Kobe Bryant are the two hottest new stars this year, and both of them have a different style of play and are very fans.

Some people have already compared them to Grant Hill and Kidd back then, and it was also a year of double stars, who would win the best rookie award?

In the West, in Los Angeles, there is no doubt that Kobe Bryant has become a future star in the eyes of fans.

And in Philadelphia, Iverson is no longer as a star, and his role is now that of the 76ers' savior.

In the messy Philadelphia 76ers, he averaged 21.5 points, 3.7 rebounds, 7.5 assists and 2.1 steals per game at the beginning of the season.

In the first game of his career, he cut down 30+2+6 superstar data. Although he lost to Jordan in the second game, everyone was optimistic about this little man, thinking that he would become the second smiling assassin.

was killed by Grant Hill in the third game, but after the shame, he bravely led the team to 3 consecutive wins and scored 30+ points in two games.

It's totally a protagonist template!

Before the game with the Lakers, Iverson beat Ewing first and then Chris Webber, and Allen Iverson, with a winning momentum, returned to his home court, waiting for the battle with the Western Lakers.

Everyone is looking forward to the battle between two of the most talented players of the 96 generation.

...

Early the next morning, Bryant called Pelinka.

"BOSS, I know what you want. I've got the tickets, I flew to Philadelphia yesterday to deliver them to Old Joe. ”

Kobe Bryant opened his mouth, worthy of being the future president of the Lakers, this ability is too level.

"Thank you, Rob."

"Boss, my phone was blown up after the game yesterday. About a dozen companies approached me and wanted to sponsor you. I'll sort it out and send it to you later. ”

"Is there a sneaker contract?"

"Adi, Nike, Reebok, and even Converse are connected. But their price doesn't meet your needs, boss, and I'm still talking to them. ”

"Very well, Rob, you did a great job."

"Ha, BOSS, it's my job. In addition, the Lakers agreed to pay the full salary for this season, and Uncle West helped us say a lot of good things. They will be paid to your account at Christmas. ”

"Good news, keep in touch buddy."

"Okay boss, we'll see you in Philadelphia tomorrow night!"

Bryant dialed Old Joe's phone again.

As soon as the phone was connected, Joe's loud voice came from the other side.

"Kobe! Yesterday had a good game! But your dunk is not as good as I did back then, and it seems that you haven't learned the essence of me yet, so hurry back to Philadelphia and train you. ”

Then came the roar of Kobe's mother, Pamela Bryant.

"Train you to be tall, how long can you endure? My son is a professional basketball star, do you need to be trained as an old guy? It's okay if you're flying around at school, don't play this trick at home! ”

"Hey, hey, wife, don't pull your ears. Kobe Bryant is still listening, give me some face. ”

"Hey, Kobe. Keep up the good work and see you tomorrow in Philadelphia. The old man coughed twice in disguise, and hung up the phone immediately without waiting for Kobe to reply.

Kobe Bryant laughed, the relationship between his parents is really good.

He packed his bags, this time it was not a short time to be out, and then drove to the airport to meet the team.

The distance from Los Angeles to Philadelphia is very long, and the team plane takes off at 10 a.m., takes eight hours to fly, and arrives at 18 p.m.

On the plane, the Lakers players were giggling and playing, and the team's successive victories over strong teams made the atmosphere in the team very good.

That's the case with any athletic team, as long as you have results and you can win, the atmosphere in the team will be good.

Keep losing, and no matter how tacit partners are, they will start to doubt each other.

O'Neill has been very happy in the past two days, and he has won two consecutive games against Olajuwon, which is a record that has never been achieved before. Especially in the second game, Barkley and Olajuwon defended him together, so that the media was already blowing that Olajuwon was not good and needed help to defend O'Neal.

Although he didn't shoot much in the second game, O'Neal, who scored 17 points and 13 boards, was still a well-deserved key to the team's victory, and there was no O'Neal involved in the defense on the inside. Kobe Bryant undoubtedly couldn't play that well, which is known to the team, and O'Neal made a sacrifice to get Kobe Bryant to seal his throat.

So, in high spirits, O'Neill began to be funny.

"Xiaoyu, come here and pinch the shoulders of the big diesel engine!"

Fisher's face flashed with surprise, grievance, humiliation, and panic.

"Okay, uncle!"

There was cheerful laughter from the plane.

...

The team arrived at Philadelphia International Airport overnight, and the team chartered a bus to take them to the hotel.

When O'Neill arrived at the hotel, he called Campbell, Van Exel and Byron Scott and snuck out.

Kobe Bryant knew that a few of them were going to nightclubs, and Kobe Bryant talked to the coach, called a car, and prepared to go home for a day.

"Kobe!" As soon as he got in the car, the black uncle driver recognized Kobe.

"Hey man."

"I'm your fan!"

"Thank you, it's an honor."

"You're going to play the 76ers tomorrow, and I'll be at home on time."

“OK。”

"Kobe, can you help me get an AI's signature?"

Kobe Bryant's face is full of black lines, you're afraid you're my fake fan.

...

Back at home, Bryant hugged his parents and chatted for a while.

Pamela was afraid of affecting Kobe's game, so she drove Kobe back to his room to rest.

Bryant dialed Odom's phone.

"Ramal, did you receive your ticket?"

"Boss, I got it! I can't believe I'm going to watch the NBA! Odom, who came from a poor background, jumped up with joy when he received the ticket. The first is that Kobe Bryant has become a big star, and he still remembers himself and cares about himself. Then he was poor and never went to the American professional basketball scene to watch a game.

"Man, next year I'd like to see you on the field and not on the sidelines."

"I'll try!" Odom is the right color, he has performed very well this year under the leadership of De Greggio of Santo Thomas Aquinas High School, playing the top statistics of 18 points, 11 rebounds, 6 assists and 4 blocks.

This performance has attracted a lot of attention for him, and many colleges are ready to invite the No. 1 high school student in the United States to join.

But he has already discussed with Kobe Bryant and joined the American professional basketball team as soon as he graduated from high school!

Will Odom's fate change?
