My Name is Kobe Bryant

"The Cleveland Cavaliers, with the first pick, select forward LeBron James from St. Vincent St. Mary High School in Akron, Ohio!"

Stern read the words.

New York's Madison Square Garden echoed with the cry of this legend.

James looked calm and walked slowly to the stage.

"Boy, you are the future of the league." Stern put a Cleveland baseball cap on James' head.

"Thank you, President. I will work hard." James gave Stern a hug.

Stern looked at the polite little guy with a smile.

The last high school student who was so sensible was Kobe Bryant.

James's down-to-earth and generous aura makes Stern very satisfied.

"In the next era, maybe he will be crowned king."

James has an aura.

Especially after many years of experience with top stars in Mamba Sports, James has a strong aura.

This kind of aura is something Stern hasn't seen for a long time.

Although James is only a high school student, it stands to reason that it will take him a few years to reach his peak.

But now Stern has begun to look forward to James' performance.

Maybe he will be the next high school phenomenon?

Next is the much-anticipated Lakers No. 2 pick!

The Lakers spent a lot of money in exchange for the No. 2 pick, which indirectly caused Larry Brown to be fired this season.

The Lakers have been discussing this signing for a long time.

Whether to choose Wade or not.

select?

Let Wade start?

In the previous generation, Wade's effect as the starting point guard was not very good.

If Wade is on the bench, he and Ginobili will have some conflicts.

Choose Milicic?

Even if he can fulfill his talent, it will take too long.

And with Yao Ming and Randolph Okur, it would be too weird to choose Milicic as a substitute.

Even if you consider trading after the draft, this person's value is undoubtedly the highest.

“Los Angeles, with the second pick, selects Syracuse forward Carmelo Anthony!!!”

Anthony led Syracuse University to win the NCAA championship this year!

Scored 33 points against Texas State, setting a record for the most points scored by a freshman in a single game in the NCAA.

At the same time, he is the NCAA first-year player of the year and the first first-year player to win the NCAA Final Four Most Outstanding Athlete Award since Pervis Ellison of the University of Louisiana in 1986.

The strongest first-year player!

The NCAA champion has an overwhelming number of fans across the United States!

His current popularity is unprecedented!

Many American experts even believe that Anthony is the member who should win the No. 1 pick.

His personal ability is now the strongest among the rookies!

"I'm going to Los Angeles?" Carmelo Anthony showed a sweet smile.

Dynasty team!

I am coming!

In the past few years, Anthony has participated in every session of Mamba Academy!

The current legendary achievements of Anthony in college are inseparable from the training of Mamba Academy!

Among the Mamba students, Anthony has played against Kobe, Bowen, Wu Sheng and others.

He never thought that one day he would become teammates with these players!

The other players in the Little Green Room on the side had their eyes turning green with envy!

In the end, will this year's No. 1 pick and No. 2 pick be divided between the two top small forwards?

"The Denver Nuggets, with the third pick, selected forward Darko Milicic from Novi Sad, Serbia, Federal Republic of Yugoslavia!"

Milicic's draft template is Nowitzki + McHale.

With a height of 2.13, his athletic ability is unique among white people. At the same time, he also has an extremely delicate touch and comprehensive offensive skills.

Maybe he'll become a more athletic version of Nowitzki.

“Toronto Raptors, fourth overall, select Georgia Tech forward Chris Bosh!”

This choice actually surprised many people. Bosh's draft prediction was to wander between the fourth and eighth picks.

But in the end, the Toronto Raptors chose a big man instead of the talented guards behind them.

Basketball is a sport for adults. If you don’t know how to choose, it will definitely be okay to choose the big one.

"Trade! The Miami Heat will trade Tim Hardaway + Mashburn + 08 first-round picks to the Orlando Magic in exchange for the fifth pick!"

madness!

This deal from the Magic is just stupid.

They made the deal simply because they felt there were no cornerstone players left in this year's draft.

Although Wade is a very strong defender.

But his meniscus was gone.

He could end his career at any time.

This seemed to be an extremely stupid deal in the eyes of Pat Riley and Kobe Bryant, but the Magic felt that they had made a profit.

The Heat will be a weak team in a few years when Mourning, Eddie Jones and others age out!

In 2008, the No. 5 pick might be the No. 1 pick! By the way, two all-stars were prostituted for free!

Smart!

"The Miami Heat, with the fifth pick, selected Marquette guard Dwyane Wade!"

Wade's performance in college actually didn't look like a genius.

Didn't get playing time as a freshman. Seeking coaching to improve his writing skills in order to requalify. He started playing in his sophomore year, averaging 17.8 points per game, 2.47 steals per game, and accumulated 6.6 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game.

Wade really broke out in his junior year, averaging 21.5 points per game. Marquette University defeated the Kentucky Wildcats 83-69 to reach the semi-finals. Wade scored 29 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists, had a triple-double, and won the MVP of the Midwestern Conference Finals.

This game established Wade's reputation.

But many people still think that this older rookie, without a meniscus, will be short-lived at best.

Pat Riley has an element of gambling.

He saw the shadow of Jordan and Drexler in this kid.

It is difficult for the Heat's current lineup to break through the Celtics or Pacers, and it is even difficult to beat the 76ers.

Nothing can be broken, nothing can be established!

Trade away the aging Tim Hardaway, who was beaten down by the trash, in exchange for a young and energetic guard.

Bet on him becoming a super giant!

The Clippers took center Chris Kaman with the sixth pick.

Elgin Baylor and Sterling still prefer large players, and the Sugar Man still hasn't given them enough lessons.

The Chicago Bulls took Kirk Hinrich with the seventh pick.

This guy is the rare high-ranking white defender.

His performance during his four years in college was really outstanding. He was capable of shooting, passing, three-pointers, and defense.

God only lacked him an excellent body, but his physical fitness is generally considered excellent among white people.

"The New Orleans Hornets, with the 18th pick, selected David West out of Xavier University."

The Hornets' inside line has indeed collapsed seriously in recent years, and the Hornets finally decided to choose an inside line as a supplement.

"The San Antonio Spurs, with the 21st overall pick, select France's Comer Parisienne Boris Diaw."

Popovich let out a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, I wasn’t intercepted!

Popovich has been threatened by the Lakers in recent years.

This fat French player is the perfect Horry successor in Popovich's mind.

The same height and weight, the same comprehensive skills.

When Horry gets older, this guy named DIAO will definitely become the strongest role player to assist Duncan in the next era.

"The Los Angeles Lakers, with the 25th pick, selected Leandro Barbosa from Sao Paulo, state of Sao Paulo, Brazil."

"Yeah! They agreed to sell it to us."

"Second-round pick No. 22, $850,000!"

"Whatever Kobe wants, he should be able to win!"

"The Los Angeles Lakers, with the fifth pick in the second round, selected Luke Walton from the University of Arizona."

"The Los Angeles Lakers, with the 22nd overall pick in the second round, selected Creighton University forward Kyle Korver."

"The Dallas Mavericks, with the 28th pick in the second round, selected center Xue Yuyang from China."

The Lakers picked 4 players in the draft!

Melo Carmelo Anthony!

Brazilian Lightning Barbosa!

Bill Walton, son of Walton!

Three-point shooter Kyle Korver!

earn!

Make a lot of money!

The team will continue to discuss whether transactions are needed to acquire more suitable players.

But so far, 03 Platinum Generation! The Lakers are the biggest winners.

That is Anthony, the most powerful fighter!

A top breakthrough player!

A super three-point shooter!

There is also a second generation star, the future ‘legendary’ godfather.

Perhaps after the draft, many people will wonder why the Lakers acquired so many rookies.

They don't want the championship?

Or are the Lakers preparing to rebuild and train a new group of helpers for Kobe?

It won't be until a few years later that people find out just how good the rookies the Lakers have acquired are.

"Coach, China is a very magical and beautiful country."

On July 1, 2003, after finishing the draft matters, Kobe took up the responsibility.

He left the next matters of trading, signing and team tactics to Magic and the luxurious coaching staff.

Magic wanted to get Kobe to stay and work, but Kobe snorted and refused.

It is impossible to work for free!

After all, Kobe is just a player, not a general manager or a coach, and there is nothing he can do to take over Magic.

Kobe Bryant and the Mamba Sports team are preparing to go to China for the Mamba Sports China Tour.

This is Kobe's fifth trip to China in his life.

It has to be said that in the 21st century, China's market is in a state of explosion. I am afraid that there is no place in the world where the consumer market is as expanded as China.

Coupled with the influence of Yao Ming, Kobe Bryant, and the Lakers in China, Mamba Sports has become the hottest sports trend brand here, surpassing Nike, Adidas, and AJ.

In the streets, every fashionable sports boy is proud to wear a pair of Yao Ming's sneakers!

In a youthful campus, a boy wearing a pair of Kobe sneakers will have a 20 percent increase in his success rate in picking up girls!

fire!

So hot!

Nike and Adidas have no chance of fighting.

After Jordan retired, AJ was only hyped by some scalpers.

Coupled with the cheap labor in coastal areas at this time, China has not only become a very large consumer market for Mamba Sports, but also provides 70% of Mamba Sports' global production.

If the U.S. government hadn't strongly demanded that Mamba Sports provide enough jobs to the U.S., or else it would be fined, Kobe would even have the idea of ​​moving all the factories to China!

Mamba Sports business activities have provided too many jobs to China, not only workers, but also a large number of sales personnel and logistics personnel.

At the same time, Mamba Academy has also opened up all over the country, including first-tier cities.

Because of Yao Ming, the number of Chinese fans who love basketball has skyrocketed!

At the same time, as Xue Yuyang and Battelle were selected for the NBA, Liu Wei, Zhu Fangyu and others also had plans to try the NBA.

Countless talented high school students have also shown their talents in various competitions, and the high school league launched by Mamba Sports has also attracted the attention of a large number of players.

This time Kobe will meet some new generation players. If he meets someone with talent, Kobe will sponsor him to go to the United States to attend high school or the NCAA.

The basketball market here is booming.

"The neon lights here remind me of New York." Harris smiled gently.

Sitting on a plane and looking down from Pudong, the prosperous Shanghai made this old man, who gradually witnessed the rise of China in the United States in 1937, filled with emotions.

This place was once in ruins.

Now, with the efforts of countless hard-working and brave Chinese people, this country is getting better and better!

"It's not as good as New York, but it's still the leading metropolis in the world." Yao Ming said proudly, this is where he grew up! He is prouder than anyone else of the changes here!

Kobe nodded. He has been to countless metropolises around the world.

Shanghai is already more prosperous than the capitals of many countries.

This is a metropolis woven out of the dreams of countless people.

"Incredible." James shook his head. This was his first time following Mamba Sports, and the country he came to was beyond his imagination.

Under the propaganda of the American media, China should be a backward and ignorant place.

But it turns out that the picture here is completely different from the picture promoted by the American media.

"Calm down later, LBJ. The fans here are the best fans in the world." Carter smiled.

For this Mamba Sports China trip, several top names from Mamba Sports are here.

Kobe, Carter, James, Yao Ming.

These four people are the four biggest stars of Mamba Sports!

People like Ginobili, Odom, Pierce, Nowitzki, Nash and others have been here in the past, but not this year.

Ginobili is still active in South America.

Nowitzki Nash's main activities are in Europe.

Odom is lazy.

Pierce, on the other hand, has given up on treatment because of his style of play and his lack of popularity abroad.

There is another very important thing in this year's Mamba Sports China trip, that is, Yao Ming invited Harris to inspect the Chinese men's basketball national team at the suggestion of his senior management.

Del Harris, he is already the most legendary dynasty godfather in the world.

After the Chinese leadership learned that he would step down as Lakers coach and look for a new job, he asked Yao Ming to extend an invitation to him as soon as possible.

Harris received numerous invitations at the same time, but the first one he chose was to examine the invitation given by his disciple Yao Ming.

After all, Kobe also admired China very highly. Harris wanted to see how this ancient civilization, which was once riddled with holes, has changed now.

The 03 platinum generation is now played by James and Melo. Maybe Wade is as brilliant as anyone, but when it comes to longevity, why isn't Melo one of the greatest players in this generation?

There was an omission in the previous chapter and it has been corrected.
