Chapter 2: Rebirth 1996
"Fako, Fako, my head hurts." Kobe Bryant got up from the bed with his head in his hands, his face distorted.
Gasping for air, Bryant felt a soul-toring sensation, and the intense pain and dizziness made him scream.
"What's wrong, Kobe?" A tall black man pushed open Kobe's door, and looked at Kobe's painful appearance and hurriedly stepped forward to ask.
Kobe Bryant didn't have time to care about anything else, and it took a while to hold his head before he eased up. As soon as he regained his ability to think, his eyes widened.
"Old Joe?" Kobe Bryant couldn't help but shout, "How can I see you, or you at such a young age?" β
"Stinky boy, you're crazy!" Joe Bryant was furious, not seeing his son shouting in pain just now, he was ready to give this guy an old punch.
"I told you not to care about talking to Brandi on the phone so late, disobedient thing." Joe Bryant was unceremonious.
"Brandi? That Brandi Norwood? β
"Oh, do you have a second Brandy?"
Kobe Bryant couldn't help but be stunned, what's the situation, am I not dead? Wait, in the dark, I seem to hear something about restarting the system or something.
Looking at little Kobe Bryant with a confused face, Joe Bryant held his forehead. This kid has been disobedient since he was a child, and what happened this time, eighty percent of them were stunned by Brandi.
"Rest well! Now that you're sure you're going to run for the NBA, you need to adjust your mental state and don't think that the achievements you made in high school are of any use. The NBA is the chosen one of the world, and without the spirit of hard work, you will only end up being a passerby! β
Joe Bryant sighed, as if thinking about his basketball career, he pinned all his basketball hopes on this son. Of course, Kobe Bryant Jr. also lived up to expectations.
In his senior year of high school, Bryant led the team to their first state championship in 50 years. In his senior year of high school, Bryant averaged 30.8 points, 12 rebounds, 6.5 assists, 4.0 steals and 3.8 blocks per game, and he led Raul Merrion High School to a 31-3 record. Bryant finished his high school career ahead of Wilt Chamberlain and Leon Simmons, breaking the high school scoring record in the Southeastern Pennsylvania region with 2,883 points.
With his performance in his senior year of high school, Bryant won several awards, including Naismith's High School Player of the Year, Gatorade's All-American High School Player of the Year, McDonald's All-American, and All-American First Team.
These accolades led Kobe Jr. to skip college and go straight to the NBA draft like Kevin Garnett. He would also become the first defender to run straight from high school.
"Wait, old Joe. It's 96 now? Bryant reacted immediately. He realized that after suffering the accident, he was helped by the life restart system and returned to June 1, 1996, as written in the Chinese online article.
"Of course it's '96!" Joe was speechless, the kid was afraid that he was confused by Brandi, and he wasn't going to say anything, so he turned around and closed the door.
Rebooted, I restarted my life. This is 1996, this is a magnificent era, the beginning of my career, the beginning of my life. Kobe Bryant reacted and immediately began to think about it.
What about Gianna? What about my GIGI? Bryant worried. In that accident, the picture of the plane explosion is vivid, and Gianna's death is inevitable.
"Ding, the life reboot system takes effect."
"Current time: June 1, 1996, main quest life achievement S+ (current achievement C+)"
"The current system is not full of energy, and the branch (optional) needs to be completed within one month, and the system is permanently shut down if it is not completed, and the character is obliterated"
"Side 1: Heads-up win against an active NBA starter"
"Side 2: Prom with Brandy"
"Branch 3: Earn $100W"
"The current system is running low on energy, and it will go into hibernation until the side quest is completed."
Sure enough, it wasn't a hallucination, and Bryant heard a voice from the system again.
"Old Joe! Can you hear anything? β
"I can hear you making noise, smelly boy! Shut up and get some rest! β
Kobe laughed, this kind of father's reprimand had not been heard in a long time. After marrying Vanessa, Kobe Bryant cut off contact with his parents and relatives. The wedding was not approved by the loved ones.
Koeph is living this life, and I must get my family to support me in marrying Vanessa!
Now that he is back in 1996, Kobe Bryant secretly spontaneously must make up for the regrets of his past life one by one! But first, Bryant looked at his hands, slender, powerful, and not bothered by broken and dislocated hands. Looking at my Achilles tendon and knees, my thin body has not been bothered by injuries, this is my young body!
Kobe Bryant became excited, feeling that his body had endless energy. As if he couldn't stop for a moment, Kobe Bryant changed into a white hoodie, put on his pants and a pair of Adi's sneakers, picked up the basketball and ran out of the house!
"Stinky boy, what are you crazy about! Give me a good night's rest! Seeing his son, who was still holding his head and screaming just now, ran out of the house, Joe Bryant couldn't help but be anxious. I'm afraid this damn stinky boy is sick today.
Joe Bryant was worried that something would happen to Kobe, so he quickly got up and went out with his heels on. Secretly muttering to himself, this kid just doesn't make people worry.
As soon as I came to the backyard, I saw the basketball in a graceful arc.
"Brushed" the hollow into the basket, Kobe Bryant smiled and showed his big white teeth, it's good to be young. Then came Bryant to show Joe Bryant Sr. the martial arts he'd learned in the NBA. It wasn't until sunset that the father and son returned to the house.
The weather in California was warm in June, and the father and son, who had been training all afternoon, went home and immediately went to take a shower. Until eating, Joe Bryant's mouth did not close. He knew that his son was a genius, but he really didn't expect that one night would pass, Kobe Bryant seemed to have opened his mind, gorgeous dunks, accurate projection, and flexible steps as if he was not playing, but a master performing his own art.
"Another afternoon of golf? Hurry up and eat, you two. "Pamela Bryant, Kobe's mother, has prepared dinner.
"Mom! Thank you. Kobe, who hadn't eaten his mother's food for years, choked up a little, and he buried his head in the food and munched on it.
"What is the stinky boy being polite to your mother?" Pamela laughed.
Kobe secretly swore that in this life, I want family and love.
After the meal, Bryant was lying on the bed when a phone call came in.
"Boss, I didn't pass two subjects." A somewhat choked male voice came out.
Bryant immediately heard that it was Lamar Odom. His teammate in high school and his right-hand man for his future two-time champion, left-handed magician Ramar Odom.
"Hi, Lama." This is what Kobe Bryant called Ramal Odom when he was in high school, "So you can't play in your senior year next year?" "This is a rule in American high schools, and students who fail to participate in sports competitions cannot participate in sports competitions for them.
"Yes, I'm ready to transfer to Santo TomΓ‘s-Aquinas. The teacher there said he could find a way to get me to play. Ramar said. Coach De Greggio takes care of me, so I can't take care of Raul Merrien High School for my boss. β
"Well, it doesn't matter. Study hard, get your grades up, and see you in the NBA next year! "Kobe Bryant's feelings for Raul Merrion High School will not be so naΓ―ve, and without Ramar and me, Raul Merrien will still be a top basketball high school.
"Boss, are you ready for the prom? It's going to be held the day after tomorrow, is the boss's female companion the singer Brandi? Ramar was a little excited, and he liked to gossip about these things.
"Hey boy, these things don't matter. I advise you to stay away from women from all walks of life and play basketball well. I still want to play alongside you in the NBA! Bryant couldn't help but think of Ramal's later experience.
Lamar scratched his head and was reprimanded by Kobe Bryant again, "Okay boss, I will." β
As soon as I hung up Lamar's phone, another text message was sent immediately.
"Little Kobe, have you decided? What color clothes do I need to wear? β
Kobe Bryant's head immediately got bigger, although he returned to his youth, he didn't want to experience these youthful ambiguities again. He only has Vanessa in his heart, where is Vanessa now? Kobe Bryant scratched his head, but he didn't expect that the secret passage could only be found slowly.
Bryant politely declined the singer Brandi's offer to attend prom with him. Lying in bed, feeling the vitality of the body, breathing the air of 96 years. I can't help but feel lucky.
Now that you're back in this life, let's live a more wonderful life! The immediate imperative is to complete the system side quests first to avoid obliteration. So let's start by winning the NBA starter heads-up and earning him $100w!
With Kobe Bryant's current experienced skills and young and energetic body, Kobe Bryant believes that he will not lose to anyone, and of course Kobe Bryant does not think he will lose at any time.
He already wants to enter the NBA to wrestle with Jordan. '96 is the first year of Jordan's three-game winning streak, and Jordan has swept 4-0 to defeat the Magic who beat him last year and advance to the finals.
Shaq O'Neal, who averaged 25+10+5 per game, and Hardaway, who averaged 23+5+6 pennies per game, were not Jordan's opponents at all, and they were swept in shame. As if last year's victory over the Bulls was a dream, that's how good Jordan is when he's in shape. This is one of the reasons why Shaq left the Magic and turned to Los Angeles to build a dynasty with himself.
In the West, the SuperSonics and Jazz drew 3-3 and started a tie-break on June 2. The Supersonic formed by Glove Payton and Rain Man Kemp, and the Jazz formed by Malone and Stockton. The clear alignment between the stars and the stars, the collision of fists and fists, will usher in the last game tomorrow.
In this magnificent era, Kobe Bryant is here.
