Chapter 760: Libit's life debut
If the Clippers have any trade chips at hand, Richard is likely to focus his energy on trades.
For example, research which team still has potential newcomers who have not yet played, and then trade them to train and develop......
But now the team doesn't even have a decent chip, and Richard doesn't bother to bother with that.
Taking advantage of this time, Richard devoted more time to his family, spending time with Tiana and his four children.
All three of Libit boys are now enrolled in Los Angeles, and to Richard's excitement, all three are on the school's basketball team.
If you want to talk about the basketball atmosphere in the United States, it is really that China can't catch up, and there is a relatively sound basketball system in elementary schools.
The school that the three Libit attended was called Brentwood School, which was an aristocratic school in Los Angeles, and the tuition fee for one school alone was as high as $40,000 a year......
It seems that the 40,000 US dollars is not much, but even in Lao Mei, not many families can afford it.
Richard's three children attend this school, and they have to pay $120,000 a year for tuition alone, and when Mary also goes to elementary school, Richard will have to spend millions of dollars after these four children finish elementary school......
Normal families, who can afford such high tuition fees.
The whole school covers kindergarten to high school, and the number of students is not very large, there are only about 900 students in total, and on average, there are only a few dozen students in each grade......
Bryant's suggestion was only one of the reasons why Richard chose this school for his three children, the biggest reason being that it was a non-religious co-educational school.
Richard didn't want his three children to become Christians.
On November 4, Richard took Tiana to his sons' school for a basketball game today.
Grades 1 to 3, co-ed competitions......
As the name suggests, the players in this basketball game are elementary school students from the first to the third grade of elementary school, and both boys and girls can play on the field.
Because the number of students is too small, the school has less than 200 students from the first grade to the third grade, plus the three Libit are the children of Richard, the top basketball coach, so the three were selected for the basketball team as soon as they entered the school.
Kobe's eldest daughter, Natalia, is also a member of the basketball team......
……
"You kid didn't train today?" Before the start of the game, Richard saw that Kobe Bryant was also taking Vanessa to watch the game, and couldn't help but smile and say hello.
"No, it's a rare day to relax and come and see Natalia's game."
"Coach, what did your Libit eat to grow up on? Why haven't you looked at it for two months, and I feel like this little guy has grown a little taller?! Kobe Bryant looked speechlessly at Libit, who was warming up on the court......
Libit's height really puzzled Kobe, Natalia's height is actually a lot taller than children of the same age, but because of his father, who is about two meters tall, it can be explained.
And Richard and Tiana are not particularly tall and not particularly outstanding, and the Libit born is amazingly tall, and now he is less than six years old, and he has reached a height of 151......
And the 7-and-a-half-year-old Natarita is only about 1.4 meters tall.
These two little guys definitely stand out from the crowd on the field, and the children around them are much shorter when they stand next to these two people.
……
Hearing Kobe Bryant ask about this topic again, Richard was also quite helpless.
He didn't know the answer to this question, and if he had, he wouldn't be so confused now.
In Richard's impression, there are children with such outstanding heights, such as Yao Ming and Ye Li's children, who are 1.1 meters tall at the age of three, and 1.6 meters tall at the age of eight.
Many fans joked that this child is 4 years tall and super Guo Jingming, 6-year-old Pan Changjiang, and 8-year-old Wang Zulan......
But this child's height is so scary, it is easy to explain, because Yao Ming and Ye Li are very amazingly tall.
With the relatively ordinary heights of Richard and Tiana, Libit's current situation is a little incomprehensible.
What's even more terrifying is that Libit's current height growth seems to be even more terrifying than Yao Ming's children......
Before, Richard thought that it was okay for Libert to be more than two meters tall when he grew up, but now it seems that two meters is definitely underestimated, and this kid will definitely be more than seven feet tall in the future, which is the standard center height of 213 cm.
It's a good material to play center, but Richard thought about the status of future center players in the league, and couldn't help but smile bitterly......
"Coach, do you think we can win the championship this season?" Bryant didn't leave the line and asked Richard.
Richard shook his head, "It's hard, man, it's good that you Lakers can break out of the West this year." ”
Kobe Bryant was stunned, he obviously didn't expect Richard to be so straightforward.
"Coach, are we Lakers as unbearable as you say? Difficult to break out of the west? I don't think Spurs are going to be our opponents. Kobe said painfully.
Richard waved his hand directly, "I'm not talking about the Spurs, I'm talking about the Dallas Mavericks, who will be your biggest rival in the West." ”
Richard didn't lie, under normal circumstances, this season is the Mavericks winning the championship, and the veteran driver led the team to win the first championship trophy in team history for Dallas.
"What?! Dallas? Coach, this joke isn't funny at all. Bryant was immediately happy.
He had the feeling that Richard must be joking......
The Dallas Mavericks, with their old and weak lineup, will they be the Lakers' opponents? It's impossible to think about.
……
The appearance of Richard and Kobe Bryant directly made the entire stadium boil.
One is the league's most popular star, the other is the league's most successful head coach, and countless parents of young players have flocked to ask for autographs.
Richard and Kobe Bryant both signed quite politely, after all, this is their children's school.
……
"Doot toot!" The referee blew the whistle for the start of the match.
Many parents of the young players at the scene of "...... boo" booed, and this boo was naturally not aimed at their own children, but at the opposing young players.
I saw that among the opposing players, there was a fat player who looked to be at least eleven or twelve years old, and he had to be 1.5 meters tall......
No matter how you look at it, it definitely doesn't look like a junior player under the third grade.
The head coach of the other team looked a little embarrassed.
They didn't lie, this little fat man is really a third-year student, but this guy has been repeating a grade for two years......
Richard also couldn't laugh or cry, today was almost the first regular basketball game in Libit's life, and he encountered such a "strong opponent".
However, looking at Libit's appearance on the field, he was not afraid of the current child who was twice his age, but was quite excited, and he looked eager to try.
The referee on the scene used the microphone to explain the situation of the opponent's players, which can be regarded as calming down the scene.
Although the opponent did not break the rules, the parents on the scene were still quite dissatisfied......
……
At the start of the game, Richard and Kobe Bryant were watching the game on the court with great interest, and this game may be more interesting to them than the NBA game.
At the beginning of the jump ball, Libit showed a strong jumping ability, the opponent's little fat man even just bent his knees to make a jumping action, Libit jumped directly high with an amazing bounce speed, and dialed the ball to his younger brother Li Jin.
"God, you put springs on this kid's legs?!" Bryant exclaimed.
With this bounce speed, this bounce height, Kobe Bryant couldn't believe that his eyes would appear on a five or six-year-old child.
Kobe Bryant's own physical talent is quite good, although it is not as good as Jordan, but at least in today's league, there are not too many players who can be better than his physical talent.
He had seen a lot of talented kids who liked basketball, but Libit's performance surprised him.
"Coach, promise me, you must let this kid enter the NBA in the future, and this kid will definitely become a super interior player on the dominant side!"
"It's amazing, God!"
Richard felt happy in his heart, and he must have been quite clear about his son's situation.
Libit's physical talents, whether it is height, arm span, or speed and jumping, are far beyond children of his age, and even children who are a few years older than him are completely inadequate in front of him.
With such physical fitness, coupled with the basketball literacy cultivated since childhood, it is impossible to say that there is no way to mix up in the NBA, and I don't believe it when I kill Richard.
