Kobe Bryant!
No matter how many people knew him before today.
At least after today, this name will be talked about by fans across the United States.
The scouts on the scene also started talking to each other.
As the most professional basketball scouts, they certainly did their homework before coming to the STC site.
This high school student named Kobe is very familiar to scouts.
Son of Joe Bryant, graduated from Lower Merion High School.
As a freshman in high school, he was able to lead his high school to a record of 31 wins and 3 losses.
Scored 50 points in a single game.
During his senior season, he averaged 30.8 points, 12 rebounds, 4 steals and 3.8 blocks per game.
Led Lower Merion High School to 27 consecutive victories and won the first state championship trophy in team history in 53 years.
He also broke the Southeastern Pennsylvania high school scoring record held by Wilt Chamberlain during his four-year high school career.
"I heard he beat up Jerry Stackhouse some time ago."
"Are you interested in him? This is a high school defender..."
"Let's see what he can do under Lin Ran's defense!"
Regardless of whether the rumors about Kobe Bryant beating up Jerry Stackhouse are true or false, he is still only a high school student after all.
What kind of transcripts he can produce under Lin Ran's defense will, to some extent, determine Kobe's final draft status.
Lin Ran didn't waste any time and directly accepted Kobe's challenge.
After educating rookie Iverson, and then educating rookie Kobe, who can refuse?
Still didn't take off his jacket, and let Kobe attack first.
This is how the first one-on-one showdown between Lin Ran and Kobe Bryant began.
First offensive round.
After Kobe Bryant chose the three-threat feint, he broke through to the free throw line and hit Lin Ran twice with his back.
Completely unable to get rid of Lin Ran, Kobe turned back to collect the ball and shook his shoulders, then turned around and faced the frame to pull out!
"Snapped!"
There is no suspense.
Lin Ran blocked Kobe's pull-up jumper with such a ruthless face.
The scouts at the scene also sighed.
I have to say that Kobe's technical moves look quite standard. He is just as fierce as a tiger in one operation. When you look at the results...
Ahem! It’s okay not to mention the result!
"That's it?"
After blocking Kobe Bryant with one hand, Lin Ran did not forget to send a cordial greeting after taking control of the ball: "You must have learned these moves from watching that guy Michael's video!"
Good guy!
Hearing Lin Ran's words, all the media people at the scene called him a good guy.
Who is Michael?
Why bother asking?
Of course it's Michael Jordan!
Kobe learned the technique by watching MJ's videos, but was still ruthlessly blocked by Lin Ran.
Doesn't this mean that Jordan is not good?
in other words.
Lin Ran seemed to be greeting Kobe with this sentence, but in fact he was greeting Michael Jordan!
But if you think about it carefully...
Looking at the whole world, Lin Ran is really the only one who is qualified to greet Jordan like this!
After all, he is the man who defeated Jordan at the top for three consecutive years!
"I was watching your video."
Kobe is still being stubborn.
"Then what you are watching must be a pirated version."
Lin Ran's greetings also continued.
Not only did the greetings continue, but his beating of Kobe had just begun.
In just a few rounds.
Lin Ran used a completely different way to finish the offense.
Change of direction and dunk;
Score by forcing the basket;
Mid-range back turn and lean back;
A long two-point dry pull-up and a three-pointer with a facial cumshot that ignores defense!
From the beginning to the end, Lin Ran never missed a single attack and gave Kobe no chance to breathe.
Looking at the entire process, it can be briefly summarized as:
Kobe is getting beaten, Kobe is getting beaten again, Kobe is still getting beaten, Kobe is always getting beaten!
"This level is only worthy of playing in the high school league."
Another easy 21:0.
After Lin Ran hit the last ball, he gave Kobe a message: "You should go to college and practice for a few more years, young man."
This sentence can be said to be like shrimp and pig heart.
You know, Kobe was a rookie who skipped high school and entered the NBA directly.
In the end, Lin Ran asked him to go to college and practice for a few more years...
All the onlookers at the scene took a deep breath.
Lin Ran's trash talk is still terrifying!
But I have to say that his words were indeed devastating.
After being beaten, Kobe returned to the sidelines and sat down, and he really began to wonder if his decision was not appropriate enough!
Is it really okay to skip college and bring talent directly to the NBA?
Are the NBA full of monsters like Lin Ran who can't win at all?
Is Jerry Stackhouse, who was beaten up by himself, really an NBA player?
Yes.
Even someone with a strong heart like Kobe is doubting life now.
"Next."
After seeing off Kobe Bryant, who was doubting his life, Lin Ran looked around at the remaining 1996 golden generation: "Is there another one?"
All the young people at the scene did not dare to answer his question.
Look at Iverson and look at Kobe.
The remaining young people have completely given up the idea of competing with Lin Ran.
Seeing that this group of young people, who would become famous in the NBA in the future, all turned into cowards, Lin Ran shrugged and motioned for them to continue their training.
at the same time.
The Nike staff at the scene handed Lin Ran a final decision list.
This is the rookie player to be signed in this year's VL series.
There are 5 people in total.
They are Allen Iverson, Stephon Marbury, Ray Allen, Antoine Walker and Kobe Bryant.
"Now that Reebok is competing with us on AI, it will be very difficult for us to sign him."
The staff introduced: "Lin, do you think there are any players that need to be deleted from this list?"
"There is no need to sign Antoine Walker, he does not fit in with VL's brand philosophy."
Lin Ran dropped Antoine Walker's name on the list and added another casually: "Go and contact this young man. He is more worthy of signing than Antoine Walker."
To be honest, if you ask Lin Ran what is the brand philosophy of VL?
In fact, he himself doesn't know.
But as a time traveler, Lin Ran knew that if his brand wanted to sign a contract, it would only sign future rookies with a big name!
Clearly, Antoine Walker is not qualified.
As for his new addition...
"Steve Nash..."
Looking at the name Lin Ran wrote down casually, the staff member just read it for a moment, then turned around and got back to work.
Although VL is an independent brand affiliated with Nike, Lin Ran has the absolute say in signing the brand spokesperson.
Lin Ran's intention to sign is equivalent to Phil Knight's intention.
As Nike employees, of course they don't dare to neglect.
at the same time.
Los Angeles, USA.
The executive offices of the NBA team Los Angeles Lakers.
Team assistant general manager Mitch Kupchak took a videotape and handed it to Lakers general manager Jerry West, who was at work.
"General Manager, this is Kobe's analysis video from high school."
After handing over the tape, Kupchak asked curiously: "Are we really going to recruit this high school student to the team in the draft?"
"why not?"
Jerry West motioned to Kupchak to play the tape: "Mitch, I see the shadow of Lin in this little guy!"
