Chapter 13: The Next Opponent
"Head, I have to tell you what happened at the Xia Lian." After the game, Rambis called Lakers head coach Silver Fox Harris.
Harris listened to the somewhat excited Rambis, and secretly said that it was not Kobe Bryant and his followers who performed very poorly and had a conflict with Rambis? This is a bit difficult to do, after all, it's just a high school guy, and it's inevitable that it will be frizzy.
"Please, Mr. Lambis." Harris prepares to appease Rambis.
"Damn, shit. I don't know how to express it like you, Kobe Bryant led those garbage to play phenomenally, he dominated the game on both ends of the floor, he had an unparalleled influence on the game, he was omnipresent on the court, he could do anything. I can't believe how a 17-year-old boy can have such mature skills and such a powerful influence. "Rambis has seen and even played against a lot of superstars, but no player of his age has had such mature skills as Kobe, and he kept his mouth on his mouth and reported the data recorded by the data station to Harris.
At present, the management of the team and the coaching team do not attach much importance to data. They believe that there are a lot of factors on the field that the data can't tell. But Kobe's explosive performance is also very rare, Harris was a little surprised, originally thought that no matter how talented Kobe Bryant was, it would take a few years of growth to realize his talent because of his age. Listening to what Rambis meant, Kobe Bryant is not mature and sophisticated in the game.
"You mean, Kobe Bryant led those few of his henchmen and played a wonderful performance against the Pistons together?" Harris noticed what Lambis was about to say.
"That's right, his guys are fully capable of defending themselves in the NBA. The offense can also play very well under Kobe's strong offensive pull, but after Kobe Bryant left the court in the fourth quarter, their performance dropped a lot. ”
Interesting, is a high school student who can act as a cornerstone on both offensive and defensive sides?
"Good, keep watching. Let Kobe Bryant and their friends continue to start, and let's see if it's just one outburst or if it's their norm. Harris knocked on the board, and he took an interest in these young people. Although Kobe Bryant did not explicitly say that he wanted the Lakers to sign them, he expressed his thoughts in all aspects.
If they continue to perform well, Harris is willing to talk to West and give them a chance.

"What, we need to fly to Atlanta to play the Chinese basketball team in Game 2?" Bryant was a little surprised to hear the announcement from Rambis in the Lakers' training gym. He remembered that this year's Chinese team also achieved good results in the Olympic Games.
The 26th Summer Olympic Games were held in Atlanta, Georgia, USA, from July 19 to August 4, 1996. Similar to the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, the Games were hosted by private individuals or companies, without the strong support of the U.S. government, or even the involvement of the national Olympic committees and individual sports organizations, which caused a number of problems.
"Yes, MLS gives every summer league team a national team. Let them get a taste of American basketball in advance while warming up for the Olympics. This time there will be a lot of spectators, a large number of Chinese Americans will come to watch and cheer, and the lads will perform well! Lambis also received a notice suddenly, and after he finished the notice, he went to quickly coordinate the itinerary, and it was not easy to arrange a group of more than a dozen big men.
"Guys, do you hear that? The opponent in the next game is the Chinese team. Bryant narrowed his eyes, he loved China. Chinese fans are very cute, he has been to many countries since he became famous, but the most enthusiastic must belong to China. In his previous life, he had been committed to promoting the cooperation of basketball between China and the United States, and he would go to China almost every summer, and when the NBA was shut down, he even almost went to play in the CBA. It can be said that China is his home base, his second home.
"You need to know that there are 1.2 billion people behind the Chinese team. Play well and they'll be your fans. ”
"1.2 billion, boss, aren't you kidding me. The population of the United States is less than 300 million, and there are so many people in this country? Fisher's eyes widened, and it would be nice to have 1.2 billion people as his fans.
"Of course, it's a magical country. The sleeping dragon is about to awaken, and the whole world will be transformed as a result. Bryant asked Fisher to wipe the saliva from the corners of his mouth and said.
"Okay, let's not practice too late today, pack your things and get ready to go." Bryant ended today's practice.
I'm so happy to finally be able to go home. Fisher thought silently in his heart, but involuntarily gave Kobe a resolute look, "No, boss." I still want to practice! ”
The son can be taught, Kobe Bryant is relieved, "Very good, then Wetti supervises Fisher to throw 1,000 three-pointers, and the others are disbanded!" ”
??? I just said casually, don't you take it seriously, why do you still send someone to supervise, are you really the devil?
。。。。。。。
Atlanta (Atlanta) is located in the eastern part of the United States, located at an altitude of 350 meters above sea level on the plateau of the Appalachian Mountains, is one of the three major highland cities in the United States, is the county government seat of Fulton County, is the 9th largest metropolitan area in the United States, and is also the capital and largest industrial and commercial city of Georgia in the United States. As a railroad hub, Atlanta's development began in the early 19th century, when it was destroyed during the Civil War, but was quickly rebuilt after being elected as a state capital.
In the 20th century, it was the center of the American civil rights movement and hosted the 26th Summer Olympics in 1996, which was also the Centennial Olympic Games.
The Centennial Olympics have a very sporty atmosphere, and sports fans from all over the world come to participate in this grand event. Although the Olympics have not yet begun, the crowds are already surging.
"Damn, I didn't know there were going to be so many people in Atlanta, it was like New York Times Square." Ben Wallace muttered that his burly figure was uncomfortable in the crowd at the airport.
Bryant carried a sports bag and wore the familiar off-white hoodie. He was also a little worried that the crowd would cause some accidents, so he dragged his teammates to the Olympic Village in a hurry.
Although they did not participate in the Olympic Games, they were arranged to stay in the Olympic Village as warm-up opponents. Because big-name American athletes don't want to stay in the Olympic Village with poor facilities, they would rather spend a lot of money to stay in high-end luxury hotels.
After moving in, Kobe Bryant immediately couldn't stay idle, "Guys, do you want to train?" ”
"Kobe, let them go, they're not physical monsters like you, they're tired from the journey, and their bodies need to rest and prepare for the game." Gariverti couldn't laugh or cry, he knew that Kobe Bryant liked to their little brother very much, and he was a training maniac.
"Oh, okay." Kobe pouted, he knew Viti was right. So he picked up the basketball and walked to the training hall alone.
