Chapter 239: The Meaning of the No. 24 Jersey (4th Update)
Crazy! After Kobe Bryant won the Slam Dunk Contest, the media went crazy!
Long guns and short cannons poured ~ into the locker room! Kobe Bryant had just finished applying ice and was caught~.
Ben Wallace has returned to Los Angeles, and Bryant only has Nash by his side.
Nash is also surrounded by the media!
"Kobe! Will you always wear the number 24 jersey in the future? ”
The first question goes straight to the soul, is Kobe Bryant going to challenge Michael with the No. 24 jersey?
"Maybe at some point in the future, I'll put back on the number 24, and for now, my first goal is to get the number eight jersey hanging over the Lakers."
Ooh! What a big breath!
Retired jerseys! The Lakers' retired jersey players are all superstars, and they are the best people in the world.
But you Kobe Bryant is crazy, and you really have the confidence to do so.
The reporter estimated that it was not surprising that Kobe's jersey hung over the Lakers Arena, which should be a sure thing.
"Then why do you wear the number 24 jersey?"
"There are twenty-four hours in a day! There are twenty-four seconds in one attack! I want every day, every game, every attack I give my whole heart. If you can't devote yourself to basketball! I'm not Kobe Bryant, and I'm not going to be on the All-Star stage, that's why I wear the number 24. ”
Kobe Bryant said this in his mouth, but did he mean to surpass Jordan in his heart?
Of course there is!
"Excellent answer! is worthy of a man who likes to pull his teammates to watch the scenery of Los Angeles at 4 o'clock in the morning. "There are also many feelings among the reporters, and the local reporters in Cleveland have been conquered by Kobe!
"Mr. Bryant, your rookie game and slam dunk contest were perfect! Leave an insurmountable monument! Do you think any player in the future will surpass you? ”
"Man, future players will always be stronger!" Kobe Bryant won't tell you that the two little players around him are the supergiants of the future.
"Kobe, how did you come up with your dunk move?"
"Nash helped me a lot, his passing was superb! I'm sure Steve will be a great point guard in the future! ”
"By the way, there's another reason, let's look here." Bryant gestured to the sneaker on his foot.
"Kobe Bryant's generation, low-top and ultra-light, help you fly higher." After Kobe Bryant read a lame line, he felt that this advertising slogan had a strange taste.
“WOW! Is this a Mamba Sports product? ”
"That's right!" Kobe Bryant was anti-guest, grabbed a group of reporters and began to go crazy about Amway's own sneakers.
After a while, the Q&A rhythm was back on track.
"The three-point contest is about to start, who do you think will win the championship?"
"Cole!"
Jordan's eyes are red in front of the TV!
Cole Thief! And say you're not an inner ghost!
"Tomorrow at the All-Star Game, what kind of performance will you have?"
"I'm looking forward to tomorrow with all the biggest stars! That would be a wonderful story! ”
"I heard that your teammate, Fisher, was attacked by an unknown flying object, is he okay?"
"It's a small problem, it's fine."
Bryant answered questions for half an hour, and the reporters gave up the three-point contest to contain Kobe, which Kobe Bryant couldn't even imagine.
Next, Kobe Bryant was in the backcourt, signing autographs for some fans and children.
"Kobe! When will you teach me to dunk? Dell Curry walked over with Moe God's hand.
"Come here, little Curry." Bryant touched Curry's shaggy curls.
"If you want to learn to dunk, you have to practice the basics first, what are the basics?"
"You have to do a combination of sudden throws! Do you understand? ”
Curry got it!
Looked at Kobe Bryant's sleek head.
Bald combined!
It turns out that this is the case, if you want to dunk, you must be bald.
"I see!"
"Clever!"
One really dares to teach, and the other really dares to learn.
...
At this time, in a small casino in Cleveland, a group of strong men sat in a box and played poker.
The smoke of cigars and the wooden-like furnishings give it the atmosphere of a Western Desert bar.
"Michael, that kid, dare to wear the number 24 jersey!" Rodman, with his hair and nose ring, couldn't hold back.
A few people on the side, smiling, looked at Jordan sitting in the center of the wooden table.
They were watching Jordan's jokes.
"Straight flush, dealer kill!" Jordan's eyes swept around, and none of the players who were fancied dared to look at him.
"Kobe Bryant is just a kid who likes to go around looking for people to go and play alone, and if I were his teammate, I wouldn't pass the ball to him."
"Like to score? It's better to let him grab the rebounds himself. ”
Jordan's words were thoughtful for several people present.
Jordan's game is not something that everyone can participate in.
...
"BOSS, the ratings of the Slam Dunk Contest have more than doubled last year!"
"We don't have to cancel the slam dunk contest! This shows that people still love to be bearish ~ medium ~ fly ~ people! ”
Xiao Hua was excited, holding a data sheet and placing it on Stern's desk.
"It's not that people love to watch slam dunks, it's that they want to watch Kobe dunk."
"If there is no Kobe Bryant next year, will there still be such high ratings?"
"There are too few buckles for the new generation of the alliance... Stern touched his forehead uncomfortably, wishing there were more players like Kobe.
If there is no top dunk general, according to Kobe's temperament, he will definitely not participate in the slam dunk contest again.
Where to find a player like that?
...
San Jose, Mamba Sports Headquarters.
"Hey, do you want to order two pairs of Kobe Bryant?"
"Okay, we'll let you know as soon as the product is released."
"Hey, you want to order two hundred pairs?"
"Hehe, the scalper shoe seller killed the whole family!"
Mamba Sports' phone calls were flooded, and countless calls came in to order the sneakers worn by Kobe.
"Quick! Urge the factory, I want to complete mass production within a week! I'm going to have sales all over the United States in January! "Meg Whitman went back and forth, and Kobe's performance on the All-Star level, disrupted her plans.
The high popularity made her decide to take advantage of this east wind to quickly complete the sale of sneakers!
From eBay, from FOOTLOCK!
Be sure to sell your shoes quickly!
Every day of delay can be a loss of hundreds of thousands of dollars!
...
Philadelphia.
"Wife, haven't you packed your luggage yet? The plane is going to be late! ”
"Old thing, who do you call it! Don't want to live anymore? Pamela was furious.
"Hurry up, let's go to the scene quietly and surprise our stupid son!"
"This is Kobe's first All-Star, we have to see it, but is it necessary to hide it from him?"
"Of course! If we tell him, can it still be called a surprise? ”
"Alright then, wait for me for another ten minutes, and I'll be done with my makeup in no time!"
An hour later, Joe Bryant departed for the Philadelphia airport.
