My Name is Kobe Bryant

Chapter 119 Milwaukee

"Hurry up! Pierre! Hurry up and sign the damn contract!" Whitman dumped the Bulls and Lakers sports papers on eBay founder Pierre Omidyar's desk again at eBay headquarters in San Jose, Calif. .

"Take it easy, man."

"Damn it! I've finalized all the details with Kobe and the magician, hurry up and sign those contracts for me!"

"OK, OK. Why are you so impatient, life is so beautiful, but you are in a hurry."

"Damn, are you really stupid? Kobe beat Jordan yesterday! He is worth to us, just like Jordan is to NIKE! This will build a great business dynasty!"

"It's not that exaggerated, I don't know much about basketball."

"It's just that exaggerated, so stop paddling! Otherwise, I will unite with the board of directors to drive you out!"

"Damn it, is our brotherhood so fragile?" Pierre Omidyar hurriedly signed some documents, and some documents need to be signed by the notary at an appointment time.

Mamba Sports, the company, has been established.

As a subsidiary of eBay, Pierre Omidyar will contact designers and production workshops as soon as possible to complete the production of the first generation of sneakers as soon as possible.

Next, online and offline sales are also what eBay will do.

This is why Kobe chose to cooperate with them. eBay's influence among young people is growing, and the audience of Kobe's sneakers must overlap. From design to production to sales, it is very complicated to manage step by step, especially Kobe's ideas are not limited to sneakers.

The contract is big, the share is high, and you have the right to speak. So working with eBay is definitely the best choice.

On December 18, the Lakers played back-to-back away games.

This is the Lakers' second match against an opponent in four consecutive away games. The Lakers came to Milwaukee to play against the Bucks.

Milwaukee is located in the southeastern part of Wisconsin, USA, on the west bank of Lake Michigan. It is the largest city and economic center in Wisconsin. Milwaukee has a mild climate in four seasons and comfortable life, and is known as "a beautiful place by the lake".

In fact, Milwaukee's first NFL team was the Milwaukee Hawks, which moved to St. Louis for the 1955-56 season after four seasons of underserved support.

Milwaukee's second team was much luckier to join. After spending $2 million to join the Phoenix Suns, it joined the NBA. In the end, the team named the team after the Bucks because it represents "Vibrant, jumpy, quick and alert".

The team has won a championship in history, which was brought by sky hook Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and triple-double king O Oscar Robertson.

Time flies, 26 years have passed since they won the championship last time, and the current Bucks are a youth army led by coach Chris Ford.

This youth team should not be underestimated. Its current record of 13 wins-9 losses ranks sixth in the Eastern Conference. It can be said that there are no major problems, and they can definitely enter the playoffs.

Their team leader is Glenn Robinson, the No. 1 pick in 1994. Glenn Robinson was born in Gary, Indiana. Smith College Player of the Year title. In 1994, Green Robinson participated in the NBA draft and was selected by the Milwaukee Bucks as the No. 1 pick.

The next thing that changed the rules of the league happened. The big dog Glenn Robinson refused to report to the small city of Milwaukee unless he signed a big contract.

After a stalemate for a while, the team compromised. For this top striker with explosive physical talent and comprehensive offensive skills, he offered a rookie contract that had never been done before or since—a 10-year contract with a total salary of 68 million US dollars.

The following year, the NBA introduced the rookie salary cap regulations to avoid the recurrence of Robinson's situation.

In his rookie season, Robinson averaged 21.9 points per game. He was also selected for the Dream Team to participate in the 1996 Summer Olympics, but was unable to make the trip due to injury.

The second master, Wen Baker, is also an extremely talented inside player. Wen Baker, who graduated from the University of Hartford in 1993, was selected by the Bucks at the eighth place in the first round of the draft.

Wen Baker was selected as an All-Star in the second year of his career. Last year, he scored 21.1 points, 9.9 rebounds and 2.6 assists and continued to be selected.

The third core is this year's No. 5 pick, Ray Allen, 1.96 meters tall, slender body, explosive jumping and dunking ability, but has a silky touch.

At the beginning of the season, many media often compared Ray Allen and Kobe Bryant, with similar body types and similar physical fitness. As the season progressed, Kobe's performance undoubtedly surpassed Ray Allen's countless grades, but it is unfair to compare him with a top rookie like Kobe who comes out every ten years.

As a No. 5 shooting guard, he averaged 13.4 points, 4.0 rebounds and 2.6 assists in 30.9 minutes per game in his rookie season, which is already a pretty good performance.

In the eyes of most American media, although Ray Allen, who has just turned 21, is not as good as Kobe, he still has a lot of potential to tap.

Due to a battle with the Bulls just yesterday, the Lakers' opening performance was a bit sluggish.

At the beginning of the game, Glenn Robinson used it continuously, crushing Bowen with his strong body, and led the team to penetrate the Lakers' forward defense.

The Big Dog's scoring methods are very rich, such as breakthroughs, mid-range shots, air cuts, and consecutive post-ups. Leading the team to attack waves opened the score.

The Bucks took the lead at 25:32 in the first quarter. Kobe felt a little cold after hitting yesterday's desperate three-pointer. He scored 1 of 4 in the first quarter and only scored 2 points.

Playing off the bench in the second quarter, Horry played steadily and connected the Lakers' substitutes to hit consecutive three-pointers to get back the score.

After starting the game, O'Neal's performance tightly bit the score. Bryant gave up guarding opposing point guard Sherman Douglas and switched to defending Ray Allen.

The 96-generation Mamba class was launched again, and the two ran left and right on the field, but Kobe was always one step ahead of Ray Allen, which made Allen's offense continue to suffer setbacks.

At halftime, the Lakers 53:54 Bucks.

Easy side to fight again, the big dog was a little misfired, and the Lakers took advantage of the situation to play a wave of fast break and counterattack, overtaking the score.

The continuous pressing defense caused a lot of trouble for the Bucks, and the problem of the Bucks' lack of organization points was fully exposed. Consecutive interceptions and counterattacks.

The Lakers 28:19 in the third quarter. Leading by 9 points in a single quarter, and suppressing the opponent's score below 20 points.

The fourth quarter was a continuation of the third quarter, and the Lakers played wave after wave of offense. The Bucks lost their rules, and the big dog Wen Baker fought on his own.

Ray Allen you ask? In this game, after Kobe switched to him, he was invisible on the court. At the end of the game, Ray Allen only scored 7 points on 3 of 13 shots.

Although Kobe also felt cold, he scored a lot of easy points in the fast-break counterattack. The overall performance of 7 of 15, 19 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists is not shameful.

Glenn Robinson, the big dog, was the best player on the field. He made 18 of 30 shots and scored 39 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists with crazy shots.

It's hard to say whether his offense helped the team or hurt the team. After all, the Bucks' role players don't have much scoring ability. This is a team with deformed configuration.

At the end of the game, the Lakers 113:105 Bucks, accepted the back-to-back away game.
