Chapter 038
“Boom!”
With a loud bang, Kobe Bryant jumped high and aimed at the rim, which was a chop.
After landing, his eyes were awe-inspiring, his eyes were sharp, and his heart was full of ambition.
The new season is about to begin!
My debut season is here!
In the past eight preseason games, he was only available as a rookie on the bench. However, in the limited playing time, he still averaged 10.6 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game.
It seems that the statistics are very average, just ordinary starting standards, but they only average 20 minutes of playing time per game.
After he was selected by the Hornets, he refused to report in response to the promise of Lakers general manager logo West. West also fulfilled his promise by sending team All-Star center Divac to the Hornets to bring him back.
However, the outside rumors are that the Lakers made a choice to make room for O’Neal, and Kobe Bryant is just a bonus.
There are many such rumors, and no one takes the No. 13 pick seriously.
A bonus to, your whole family is a bonus.
Kobe, who was looked down upon, trained with obsession all day, even in the summer league, he was constantly crazy and proved himself. He averaged 25+ points in four Summer League games, scored 100 points in four games, and had a strong desire to attack.
But the outside world did not value him for this, only as a talented rookie.
Except for the logo man who traded him to the Lakers but was invisible, no one could see that he had the potential to succeed Jordan.
If Summer League isn’t enough to prove his excellence, he’s waiting for the regular season to come and slap the faces of the journalists from the news media who look down on him.
Especially the more Yang Ming and Iverson continue to see the newspaper and are touted, the deeper his obsession.
I’m a rookie in the league, and I’m no worse than them!
Especially Yang Ming, who was also eighteen-year-old and a gorgeous young man, he did not think that he would be inferior to the other party.
Therefore, in addition to proving that he is excellent, he also has more consciousness of competing with Yang Ming and Iverson.
However, the Lakers are currently relying more on the team’s old core Eddie Jones, ignoring his hard training, ignoring his talent for extreme offensive talent, and has been pressing him on the bench, allowing Jones to occupy too much playing time, even in training, the ball is more concentrated in the hands of Jones and O’Neal.
While he was unhappy, he was even more looking forward to the day when he would grab the ball and quickly get on the position.
The better Yang Ming performs, the deeper his obsession and the more he wants to prove himself.
Now the new season is here, and the opportunity to prove yourself is coming, as long as….
Compared with Kobe, who trained with a fire, Iverson, who was far away in Philadelphia, seemed much happier.
As soon as he joined the team, the management and coaching staff used him as the core of the team, whether it was summer league or pre-season, he was given enough playing time, and no new or old player could take the ball away from him.
“Ugh!”
In a big change of direction, he passed the 196cm tall backup guard, Jansirio Harris, and hit the basket with an easy layup. Harris looked at him, shivering.
This is the sixth time he has been dropped in training, and each time he has thrown Iverson clean.
His speed is too fast to keep up with it.
Coach Johnny Davis on the sidelines was delighted with Iverson’s performance.
As soon as the opponent entered the team, he showed great talent, strong offensive ability, and what was even more amazing was the gorgeous ball control skills, under the confusing technique, no one could prevent the other party.
Every training session, every game, Iverson can burst the opposite, and his invincible passing skills and lightning-fast speed have become his strongest killer skills.
Although he still seems relatively immature and too independent, Johnny Davis secretly believes that the great revival of the 76ers is just around the corner.
And Iverson is the one who led the team’s revival.
Iverson was proud at this time, and he averaged 17 points, 2.5 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.8 steals in 25 minutes per game in the preseason.
Just take the hateful Yang Ming and never let him have a good time.
The summer league was overwhelmed by the opponent, and he scored more points in the preseason than him, and the kid performed better than him everywhere, and he was very upset!
Although he is also a man who averaged 30+ points per game in the summer league, coupled with his preseason play, he is fully worthy of the status of a top pick, and even a little too good.
However, how can the side of the couch allow others to snore?
With this mentality, Iverson was like a chicken and worked harder in training matches. Yang Ming was always like a wild beast, watching in the distance, stimulating him to move forward bravely.
The new season is here, boy, wait for me to compete with you.
In this way, Iverson of the Philadelphia 76ers, Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers, Marbury of the Minnesota Timberwolves, Ray Allen of the Milwaukee Bucks, etc., the rookies of the 96th golden generation began to sharpen their knives, prepare for the new season, and slash at Yang Ming.
November 1st, evening.
The first matchday of the 96/97 season is finally here.
On this day, there were fourteen games in the whole league, covering almost all teams.
The most notable is defending champion Chicago Bulls vs Boston Celtics.
In fact, the Celtics have deteriorated since Big Bird Byrd retired, and their record has deteriorated year by year. Although there were still two or three Hall of Famer players on the team, but without a decisive core player, the Celtics even lost the playoffs, and only one of the first three seasons was worthy of making the playoffs.
The Bulls naturally have no suspense against such an aging team.
Also playing games are Suns vs Lakers, Kings vs Rockets, Spurs vs Timberwolves, Knicks vs Raptors and more.
Flying to Toronto, when Yang Ming was preparing for the competition, the system jumped out with its multiple-choice questions.
“Option 1: Score more than 30 points in the first game, and reward 10 attribute points; Fail, deduct 10 points of three-point ability value! ”
“Option 2: All-Star selection in the debut season and reward Vince Carter with a dunk training card; Failure, deduct 20 points of three-point ability value! ”
“Option three: surround Jordan’s rookie season in all aspects of his debut season and reward Jordan’s offensive package (basket offense, back hit, back-up jump shot training card); Failure, deduct 50 three-point ability points! ”
Get lost!
Yang Ming looked at the failure punishment of the three options and roared angrily.
(Are the brothers all on holiday?) It doesn’t feel like anyone! )
