My Name is Kobe Bryant

"So our main goal this time is to inspect young players in China." Kobe pulled Harris and told him about several talented young people Mamba Sports has discovered in China in recent years.

"Yi Jianlian, 17 years old, 2.13CM, power forward, model Nowitzki, joined the Guangdong Dongguan Bank team in his first year and won the regular season championship and the runner-up in the finals; he also won the runner-up in the slam dunk contest and the best rookie in the league. prize."

"We are very optimistic about the player Yi Jianlian. He has exaggerated athletic ability among Asians, while still retaining the excellent shooting touch of traditional Asian insiders. We have recommended that he go to the NCAA next season to experience."

"Sun Yue, 18 years old, 2.05cm, guard, template magician, Aoshen team, does not have much playing time, but his talent is unique among Chinese guards. I am optimistic that he will become the first Chinese guard to join the NBA. "

"Sun Yue is the only Chinese defender who has been spotted and signed by Mamba Sports in recent years. His talent is limitless. The current problem is that he is a little impetuous and his basic skills are not solid. We recommend that he play in the domestic league again. One year and then head to the NCAA."

"Zhu Fangyu, 20 years old, 2.01CM, forward, model Michael Finley, the star of Guangdong Hongyuan! Last season at the age of 19, he averaged 23.8 points, 6.7 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1.7 steals and 0.5 blocks per game. This season, he averaged 24.3 points per game. 7.2 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.8 steals, and 0.6 blocks." (Mr. Zhu was really strong when he was young)

"Zhu Fangyu is the most precocious among this group of young people! His physical fitness has crushed many players older than him, his technical movements are comprehensive, and his offensive methods range from three-pointers to breakthroughs at the basket."

"He is the player with the strongest immediate combat ability. This summer he will join a prestigious NCAA school under the introduction of Mamba Sports."

"Xue Yuyang, 21 years old, 2.12cm, center. This year he has successfully joined the NBA. Mad Scientist Nelson has signed another Chinese player."

"This season he averaged 21.8 points and 8.4 rebounds per game. His athletic ability is very good, but his basic skills are not good and he urgently needs to be improved. I hope he can improve under the training of the mad scientist and Wang Zhizhi."

"These four players are definitely 5-star high school talent in the United States, especially after they have been trained by Mamba Sports, they have improved rapidly!"

"In addition, there are Wang Shipeng, Du Feng, Hu Xuefeng, Tang Zhengdong, Wang Bo, Mo Ke and other high-quality young people aged 21 and 22."

"Although their talents limit it to them, it is difficult for them to play in the NBA, but after training, they will definitely be a very strong immediate force in the national team competition."

Harris squinted his eyes and watched each player's tape with Kobe one by one.

have to say.

He was a little moved.

The talent reserve of the Chinese team is no worse than that of some famous NCAA schools.

And with this level of configuration, coupled with Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi, the two NBA-level main players, how strong is their combat effectiveness?

You must know that before the Dream Team, American college students had always participated in global basketball competitions. Except for a stumble in Yugoslavia, these college students swept the world!

"I have to see the actual game."

Everyone in the collection is super, but when it comes to fighting, their prototypes will be revealed.

Harris has some doubts about whether these players are as good as Kobe Bryant's MLM.

After all, this kind of talent blowout, it is very rare for so many talented players aged 18-22 to appear in an instant.

"It has been arranged a long time ago." Kobe smiled slightly.

Mamba Sports has reached an exchange with the leaders of the Basketball Association. The leaders of the Basketball Association are also eager to perform well in the 2004 Athens Olympics and the 2008 China Olympics.

Especially 08.

That will be the year that changes the world's view of China.

Countless leaders in the country have begun to prepare for this moment!

All the players that Mamba Sports are optimistic about are on standby.

The communication with the leader went by in a flash.

Kobe and Harris are not used to these polite things. Fortunately, the Chinese Basketball Association is asking Harris to join the team, and every year Mamba Sports will distribute a large amount of dividends to the Basketball Association, so the two parties are still very happy.

It is impossible to ask the horse to run without giving it grass.

Mamba Sports cooperates with the Basketball Association every year in various forms, such as sponsorship, signings, overseas exchanges, etc.

This kind of cooperation was not very smooth at the beginning. After all, Wang Zhizhi's incident made everyone unhappy.

but.

Mamba Sports has given too much.

When the Basketball Association was still struggling with hundreds of thousands and millions of Guo Jia policy subsidies every year, Mamba Sports gave a lot of public and private benefits.

Those who take people have short hands and eat people with soft mouths.

Gradually, the Basketball Association also discovered that this was a mutually beneficial matter, so the cooperation with Mamba Sports increased.

Mamba Sports is now the largest sponsor of Chinese basketball.

Whoever pays has the right to speak.

This is true in all walks of life.

After the exchange is completed, the next step is the actual operation.

"Their fighting was a bit interesting." James pursed his lips, a little surprised.

Seriously, these players are almost as good as the top stars in his high school league.

And Zhu Fangyu can be considered a good player even in the NCAA, averaging 15+5 per game without any problem.

This made James speechless.

He really thought that China was as backward as the media promoted it to be!

Now, whether it is the development of the city or the prosperity of sports projects, James is surprised.

"This may become the basketball market second only to the United States in the future." James glanced at Kobe secretly.

Damn it, this man walked in front of me again!

James wants to build a huge dynasty.

Not just basketball, but also a great business empire.

Joining Mamba Sports, signing the largest rookie sneaker contract of 120 million in 10 years, and establishing a personal independent brand on par with Black Mamba and UFO is just the beginning!

James began to think about how to get a share of the Chinese market.

"First of all, you have to make a name for yourself in the first season of the NBA, otherwise everything will be in vain in a small place like Cleveland."

"What are you thinking about? LeBron, do you want to go up and fight them?" Kobe suddenly said to James.

"Me and them?" James subconsciously wanted to refuse. After all, he is the No. 1 pick in the NBA, and the outcome of any game will affect many things.

But he looked at Kobe's face.

Pure, just love for basketball.

"Maybe I think too much." James began to reflect on himself.

Moreover, this is the territory of Mamba Sports. Blackwater has ensured that there are no media reporters here and it is an absolutely closed training.

"Then let's hit two goals."

"Is this the 'Chosen One' of the NBA?" Zhu Fangyu swallowed.

During training, James threw him away with one easy step, then went to the basket and completed a pull-bar abdominal dunk over the basket.

So fast!

so tall!

What a fucking beast!

Livestock!

What an animal!

Zhu Fangyu is known for his strong body among Chinese players, but compared with James, it is a joke.

Yi Jianlian looked at James blankly. He had just been hit. It felt like being hit by a train.

Is this really something players of their age can do?

If Xue Yuyang hadn't helped him, he would have fallen to the ground.

"Not bad." Harris on the side became more appreciative of these little geniuses in China after having James as a comparison factor.

That's James!

THE KING!

The strongest high school student after Kobe Bryant in the NBA!

These players who are similar in age to James and can compete with him simply do not exist in the same age group.

These little Chinese geniuses can inspire James' fighting spirit and make him play seriously, which already explains a lot of problems.

"Kobe, who do you think has the most talent?" Harris asked.

"Yi Jianlian, although his immediate combat ability has not been strengthened, his athletic talent is comparable to players in the lottery. He will not be much worse than this year's No. 3 pick Milicic."

Harris nodded.

The 2.13-meter power forward is skilled and has excellent athletic ability. He is indeed exactly the same as this year's No. 3 rookie Milicic.

"The key is their growth! This team currently has 4 NBA-level players, and in a few years, I'm afraid there will be a few more! The number of NBA players on this team will be in the international competition. Invincible!"

"Kobe, I always think you have ulterior motives." Harris narrowed his eyes, and Kobe's little fox tail couldn't be hidden.

"Coach, indeed. I hope that Yao Ming will not participate in the national team's joint training or competitions in some non-essential games."

"Oh? Why?"

"His body needs rest and strengthening after a season rather than continuing to play."

"Of course, so many outstanding young players in the Chinese team also need more opportunities to grow."

"It's really yours." Harris smiled slyly. Kobe found a nanny for the Chinese team.

Develop players while also saving effort for the Lakers' core.

A lot of things can be done with one stone!

But looking at these little guys in front of him, they were young embryos who grew up in Mamba Sports, and some were even taught by Kobe and Magic himself, Harris had some unspeakable emotions.

To be honest, after a few years with this group of people, it is very likely that there will be a lot of NBA rotation-level players.

At the same time, Yao Ming with superstar potential, Yi Jianlian with All-Star potential, main rotation level Wang Zhizhi, Sun Yue

Except for the US team, this group of people are not just crushing them in the international arena!

Create a basketball dynasty second only to Team USA!

Tempted.

Harris was really tempted.

As long as he succeeds, maybe his name as one of the best coaches in history can be removed.

Godfather of Dynasty! Not just the Lakers, they are the dynasty godfather of the NBA.

He would become a dynastic godfather of a world nature.

"Will the basketball association here restrict my coaching?"

"Restrictions? Of course not." Kobe smiled slightly. We are all our own people. If the worst happens, we will pay more.

Things that can be solved with money are not problems.

On July 15, 2003, Del Harris, one of the best coaches in history and the legendary godfather of the Lakers, joined the Chinese men's basketball national team.

Then Harris began to form his own coaching staff with the help of Mamba Sports.

Harris's years are not in vain. He wants to give the Chinese team the best training!

Shooting coach! Strength coach! Recovery coach! Team doctor! No one is missing!

At the same time, the Basketball Association also recruited several people. After verifying their abilities, Harris chose to agree to join A Dijiang and Min Lulei.

The next step is to contact some old friends. This Chinese team has a head start! Come quickly!

Legendary pitcher Dell Curry, Lithuanian coach Yunas Kazlauskas, Ati Jiang, and Min Lulei have joined the team! Become an Assistant Coach!

The chairman of the Basketball Association and many big shots personally came forward to support Harris.

He will be in charge of all aspects of this national team!

Delegate power!

Absolute delegation of authority!

The whole world was in an uproar.

Chinese media reported that Chinese basketball is about to enter a new era.

This is a historic scene.

It is unique for one of the strongest coaches in the history of world basketball to take over a non-U.S. team.

Chinese basketball fever has once again climbed to a new height!

Popularly discussed!

How far can Harris lead Chinese basketball?

How many of these talented youngsters discovered by Mamba Sports will eventually make it to the NBA?

Will Yao Ming be the beginning of Chinese basketball becoming global?

On July 18, 2003, Mamba Sports will sponsor Sun Yue and Zhu Fangyu to terminate the team contract and pay all the expenses for studying abroad and participating in the NCAA.

Guangdong refused to terminate Yi Jianlian's contract, and Yi Jianlian was forced to stay in the country.

"Yi, it doesn't matter." Harris found Yi Jianlian, who was a little disappointed.

"Here, you will be my close disciple."

Although not long after, Zhu Fangyu was sent back to the country because her English was really poor.

"Break blood! Why do Chinese people need to learn English!" Zhu Fangyu was angry on the flight back to China.

He was turned back from college.

Shame~!

This is a huge shame to Uncle Zhu Ba!

He's good at basketball.

Learn a foreign language?

He may not be able to tell whether the letters are 24 or 26.

If you just don't know English well, there won't be much of a problem.

The problem is that he was caught by the school leaders while drinking to drown his sorrows in Chinatown.

Because of the alcohol ban, Mamba Sports is now losing face.

Under the leadership of Harris, the Chinese team began to get on the right track.

Mamba Sports also continued their activities.

Go all the way north from Shanghai.

"KOBE! KOBE! KOBE! KOBE!"

"YAO MINGYAOMINGYAOMINGYAOMING!~~~"

Streets and alleys!

Wherever Kobe goes, there is prosperity!

"I understand what you mean, but why are all the fans of Kobe and Yao Ming?" James was greedy.

There are too many fans in this land!

Where can you find so many, such pure fans in the United States?

But these fans belong to Kobe and Yao Ming, and even Carter received very few shouts.

"Don't worry, maybe one day, your voice in this land will be no less loud than Kobe's." Vince Carter smiled slightly.

In Vancouver, he was used to such shouting.

Soon, the boy James will usher in such a grand occasion in Cleveland.

Then the United States, and then the whole world?

Vince Carter sighed, there will be a day when his position as the second in charge of Mamba Sports will not be guaranteed.
