"This summer, I'm going to skip college and bring talent to the NBA!"

In 1996, at a press conference at Raul Merrien High School in the Philadelphia suburbs, a 17-year-old boy made a decision that would affect the entire NBA in the face of the flashing lights in the press box. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

His name is Kobe Bryant.

Suddenly, the audience exploded.

"Mr. Kobe, although you just led your team to the first championship in school history, as we all know, the high school league and the NBA are not at all the same league, are you really confident that you can quickly adapt to the pace of the NBA game?" A balding white reporter asked at an alarming pace.

"Mr. Reporter, your head is as bright as a spotlight." Kobe, who was still a little green, did not answer his question directly.

This ridicule caused a burst of laughter from everyone, and the atmosphere of the whole interview suddenly became a lot more lively.

"You're so humorous." The white reporter was bored and returned to his seat.

"Mr. Kobe, in the entire history of the NBA before you, there were 5 high school students who directly skipped college to join the NBA, but everyone knows that except for Kevin Garnett who showed good potential for the time being last year, no one really fulfilled their talent, what made you make this decision?" A hot female reporter in a professional suit stood up to ask.

Maybe it's because the other party is a beautiful relationship, Kobe forgives this sharp question.

"I don't think going to university can improve my strength anymore." Bryant paused at this point, ignoring the surprised looks in the audience and continued, "Also, I've decided to participate in some tryouts that NBA teams have invited me, and I think I can dominate the game even in the NBA. ”

Arrogant! Arrogant!

In the corner not far away, a big man looked at the outrageous Kobe Bryant and chuckled.

Sure enough, it's Kobe!

He knew the real reason for Kobe's decision. Because, that guy from Chicago, he's back.

"Mr. Kobe, what pick do you think you'll be selected in the rookie draft?"

"Philadelphia is my hometown, and I want to play for the 76ers in my career and win a championship!" Kobe's eyes flickered, and a wave of arrogance rose spontaneously.

One stone stirs up a thousand waves.

Because of the news that just came a few days ago, the top pick in the 1996 NBA Rookie Draft was won by the Philadelphia 76ers.

This kid, where did he get his confidence, and he went straight to the champion.

Finally, after dealing with the interviews of various immortals, Kobe Bryant left the interview site, and the press conference came to an end.

With Kobe Bryant's departure, no one noticed that the seat in the corner was empty.

.......

The efficiency of the media is often very fast, and the next day, the major news outlets are overwhelmingly reporting on the incident.

"Raul Merrion High School Gifted High School Announces Entry to NBA"

Kobe Bryant, son of former NBA star Joe Bryant, follows in his father's footsteps

"Arrogant high school students will win the champion when they say it! 》

......

No one remembers, and no one cares, on the same day, in the same high school, the big man, a teammate on Kobe's varsity team, also made the decision to enter the NBA.

Kobe Bryant's home.

"Hey, you guy, are you born with a kind of magic that attracts the spotlight?" Tony angrily tossed the newspaper aside and sat down on the couch in the living room, screaming in dissatisfaction.

This is the first newspaper he has flipped through today, all of them are Kobe Kobe.... And his name was not even mentioned in passing.

"Alright, Tony." Kobe Bryant shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands out, "These media are vampires, and they will squeeze every ounce of value out of you." ”

"Hey, hey, hey! You don't look like you're comforting me. Tony kept wiggling his huge ass on the couch trying to find a comfortable position, "Damn, is this couch for babies?" ”

"Get out of the way, you stupid big stupid." Kobe Bryant stepped forward and punched Tony hard in the chest.

Damn, is this guy made of iron?

Kobe rubbed his aching hands and looked at Tony like he was fine.

Just then, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door.

It's Kobe's dad, Joe Bryant, who comes home.

Tony stood up.

"Hey! My lads. Joe entered the house and saw the scene in front of him, and a smile appeared on his face.

Tony Mars is the only son of the Mars family who live next door to them. The Mars family had lived there for many years before they moved to Philadelphia, and the two families had always been close because they had helped them when they first moved in.

Tony, on the other hand, is Kobe's best friend.

Speaking of the meeting between these two young men, it can be described in one sentence - no fight, no acquaintance.

Joe himself used to play in the NBA and was known for his gorgeous play, and later took his family to Italy for better development and became a legendary superstar in Italy.

So Bryant's basketball atmosphere is excellent, and he also knows that his son is a basketball genius, so no matter where he moves, he will build a basketball court in his backyard for his son to practice.

And this basketball court has naturally become a holy place for Tony and Kobe to cultivate friendship.

It's funny to think about it, a big center with a height of 7.1 feet and a guard with a 6.6 foot head go head-to-head every day, how awkward it looks.

Joe retracted his thoughts and walked to the living room, two tuxedos in his hands.

"Tomorrow you're going to the school's prom, the first champion in the history of the school team, and oh my god, you're going to be the center of the ball. But before that, go get the damn dress back on. Joe scolded with a smile and slapped the two of them hard on the buttocks.

"Uncle Joe, you're wrong, Kobe Bryant, who will be the focus of the prom, is the superstar of our school." Tony looked envious, but still took the dress in Joe's hand and pulled Kobe Bryant into his bedroom.

Ten minutes later, two handsome young men walked out of the bedroom.

"Are you guys doing it? It took so long. Joe was walking back and forth in the living room, and it looked like he was getting a little impatient.

However, when the two walked out, his eyes lit up, "Look, I'll just say, my son is the most handsome." ”

......

"Of course, Tony, you're pretty good too."

.......

It's too obvious, Tony can't help but wail in his heart.
