Kobe Bryant entered the league as a high school student in 1996.
LeBron James entered the league as a high school student in 2003.
They are all players under Nike now, and their popularity, influence, skills and other comprehensive strengths rank among the top two in the league. And this top two is still Schrödinger's top two. Because no one knows whether James should be number one or Kobe Bryant.
Especially the first.
Therefore, every matchup between them can attract a lot of attention. This season, there are two games between the Lakers and the Heat, both of which are broadcast live across the United States and will be simultaneously broadcast by more than 248 media around the world.
This shows how amazing their influence is.
For so many years, the league and Nike have hoped to meet in the finals, because this scene of Mars hitting the earth will inevitably increase the popularity of the game to an incredible level.
It's a pity that this scene of 23vs24 never happened in the finals.
Now, they place their hopes on 24vs6.
James' new jersey number in Miami is No. 6.
Kobe Bryant arrived in Miami at noon the next day. After he arrived in Miami, he went to find Fanxi.
This shows the importance he attaches to Fan Xi.
"Your performance in New Jersey shocked me, and your performance in Orlando 'killed' me. Jack, you will definitely become the future core of the Lakers."
Bryant would never say this to a rookie to prevent him from becoming complacent.
Unlike Duncan, he often said to young players, "The future belongs to you." LeBron James suffered a lot from this. He reached the Finals at a young age and has been wasting his time in Cleveland until he gave up on himself last summer and moved to Shumo.
The dead were brought back to life to form the top three giants and once again attack the championship.
If other Lakers players were here, they would definitely find it incredible.
Because Kobe has always been a proud and arrogant person, and even some people who have high aspirations. Early in his career, he even had a fierce fight with O'Neal, the league's number one center, for the boss. Then Bynum joined the Lakers in 2005 and got
The team carefully cultivated him, but in Kobe's heart, he never recognized the child with excellent physical talent.
Now in front of Fan Xi, an undrafted player who had only played a few games, he said the words "future successor".
This shows how much he values Fan Xi.
"In today's league, the person I most want to beat is LeBron James." Kobe then said to Fanshie: "Because this guy has broken many of my records."
"However, I respect his attitude towards basketball. He works hard and keeps improving. Even though he has gained unprecedented wealth and popularity, he still maintains a humble attitude towards progress. Although I was very disappointed with his 'coward choice' last summer.
'It's surprising, but maybe this is the future direction of the league, and superstar team-ups will become a new trend."
Kobe spoke to Fan Xi very seriously and thoughtfully.
Fan Xi sat beside him and kept nodding. He accepted these nutritious contents with an open mind.
"Tomorrow night's game is the top priority. This will be the game that gets the most attention since you joined the NBA. I hope you can also be the protagonist of the game. In this way, you will get more than 1 million All-Star votes.
It gets easier, there are less than ten days until the All-Star Game."
Kobe Bryant then said: "The vast majority of fans are here because of the decisive battle between James and me. I hope you can take this opportunity to soar into the sky."
He has great hopes for Fan Xi.
In the past, Fan Xi's mother said to Fan Xi: How to tell whether a senior is really supporting you? It depends on whether he is willing to bring you into his circle, push you to the front, increase your knowledge, and help you stand on your own.
Fan Xi confirmed one by one that he was sure that Kobe Bryant was the noble man who sincerely supported him.
The next battle between Kobe Bryant and LeBron James will be like the decisive battle between Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue at the top of the Forbidden City. If there is another talented and talented junior swordsman who steals the show in this decisive battle, then
...naturally, he will become famous and startle the world in one fell swoop, and enter new fields.
Enter the realm of true elite players, even All-Star territory.
Fan Xi couldn't help but feel excited when she thought of this.
He was very excited.
However, the excitement was still a little lacking, and it failed to stimulate bioelectricity, light up the energy aura in the mind, and release super talents or skills.
Kobe Bryant then took Fanshie to watch the Miami Heat video highlights.
He used his superstar perspective to help Fanci analyze the strengths and weaknesses of his opponent. Fanci's opponent will be Mario Chalmers.
Mario Chalmers was a rookie in 2008. Although he is not well-known, he is a very stable point guard who is very good at winning. Before the draft, he defeated the 2008 No. 1 pick in the NCAA College League Finals.
Cross.
His buzzer beater prevented Rose from becoming the second Carmelo Anthony: leading the team to the NCAA championship in his freshman season.
Mario Chalmers became even more famous after the arrival of LeBron James and Chris Bosh. Many people said that he would become the second Rajon Rondo.
Rondo became famous by forming the Boston Big Three.
"But Chalmers is not Rondo. His basketball IQ is not as high as Rondo, and his rebounding ability is not as strong as Rondo. But he is very good at finding opportunities. He has the ability to shoot three-pointers. He is outside the Big Three.
An important wing. When facing him, you have to strangle him, don't let him swim, and don't let him become the liaison officer of the Big Three."
Kobe Bryant pointed to key points on the big screen and said: "He likes to complete reverse runs in these places, and his attack mode is relatively fixed..."
Superstars view the game from a different perspective, and Fanshie has benefited a lot from it. He feels that his thinking has evolved.
Before Fanshi entered the league, Fanshi had a rough impression of Kobe Bryant: he had great scoring ability, but he liked to play alone and his basketball IQ was probably not high.
However, looking at Kobe's analysis, he immediately realized one thing: in the top league like the NBA, how can one become a superstar without a high basketball IQ.
Maybe the reason why he took such crazy shots was because he felt that his shots were more certain than others' shots?
After reading Chalmers' analysis, Fanshie asked Kobe: "Is there such a possibility? Miami will use Dwyane Wade to play against me and LeBron James to play against you?"
Kobe raised his eyebrows and said: "Then you can ask for your blessings. Dwyane Wade is the shooting guard in the league after me today, and his strength is superb. Although due to injuries, his current strength is better than at his peak.
It will drop a little bit in the future, but it is still a superstar field that you can't reach today."
Bryant put it very bluntly.
Then, he asked Fan Xi: "How would you feel if Wade really faced you."
Fan Xi constructed such a set of counterpoint scenes in his mind, and then his heart beat violently.
Wade, The Flash.
In the past, I could only watch the Finals MVP on TV. If I really faced him, Fan Xi would feel like his dream had come true.
Moreover, he will be extremely excited.
"I will get braver as I fight, and I even beat Mario Chalmers to death, so that they had to let Wade come against me!" Fan Xi said seriously.
Kobe laughed when he heard this.
He was very happy, happy that Fan Xi was a fighter who enjoyed competition.
He is also such a person.
He feels that the league needs more people like this to make it interesting.
…
When Fancy and Bryant emerged from the video editor's room, a new transaction occurred.
Shannon Brown was sent to the Golden State Warriors in exchange for Reggie Williams.
They saw Shannon Brown leaving the hotel with his bag. He looked lonely, but this is the NBA. Maybe when you wake up, you will be told that you will be reporting to another team.
Reggie Williams is a shooting guard earning a minimum salary in Golden State and Oakland. He is full of energy.
He played an important role in that game against the Lakers. This is probably why the Lakers value him.
The Golden State Warriors have decided to trade Monta Ellis, so they need a high-impact replacement product. Shannon Brown looks very qualified. For this reason, they also included a trade exception of US$800,000. This balances the difference in salary between the two.
Shannon Brown came over to say goodbye to Kobe and thanked Kobe for taking care of him over the years.
Before leaving, he said harsh words to Fan Xi: "I still think you are not suitable for the Lakers. You will soon leave with your bag like I did today."
Fan Xi did not fight fiercely with this 'loser', but calmly wished him a safe journey and a wonderful journey.
Fan Xi is a person with a distinctive personality.
When others show their fangs to him, he will definitely fight back fiercely. And when his opponent makes this loser's cry, he will maintain his demeanor.
"You have a big picture." Kobe Bryant said to Fan Xi with a smile.
Fan Xi raised her eyebrows.
…
After Shannon Brown was traded away, Steve Blake showed the pessimism of a rabbit dying of a fox. When he came to the Lakers last summer, he came to the Lakers with infinite longing and expectations. He imagined that he could become the glory of the Purple and Gold Army.
But now, Fan Xi has replaced him in all aspects.
He also completely lost the battle to suppress Fanshi. Now, with Shannon Brown gone, he has also entered the countdown.
He hates Fan Xi very much. He thinks that without Fan Xi, none of this would have happened.
In comparison, Ron Artest is very calm.
He was once a notorious man, but now he is on the tail end of his career and his retirement will come soon.
Therefore, he was very indifferent to the fact that he was put on the trading platform. He even believed that he had made a positive contribution to the Lakers. If he was traded away like this, at least no players of his level would embarrass Jack in the future. Jack's His status was established because he was traded.
"In the future, only Andrew Bynum may be able to threaten you."
Ron Artest even reminded Fan Xi during dinner: "He is not a gentle person, he will completely tear his face apart. Moreover, he hates you deeply."
Fan Xi knows.
From the moment Kobe Bryant said he was the core of the future, he and Bynum became an internal rivalry.
There is competition within any group. Although Bynum has the inside advantage and is deeply rooted in the Lakers, Fanshie feels that he can definitely defeat him.
"I know Kobe Bryant will come back, but beating the Lakers is what we have to do. Because we really want our head coach to become an All-Star coach."
The TV in the restaurant was playing an interview with Dwyane Wade: "I'm sorry, Kobe, I know you want to come back. But you can't take away this victory."
Wade's words were half a joke and half serious.
Fan Xi saw Kobe's expression of indifference, like an eternal bronze beast.
At this moment, Black Mamba's heart must be filled with excitement. Maybe this Flash Wade who said 'sorry' has 'died' in his heart thousands of times.
At this moment, Wade on TV talked about himself.
"Jake Fan? I heard about it. I watched his game and he looked very good. But I think my little brother Mario has enough ways to deal with him. Mario is not like Devin Harris who can't
As a defensive player, he will definitely not get so many opportunities."
"Besides, man. Next is a duel between superstars. I don't think that rookie has the ability to influence the situation of the game. This is an internal game of the superstar club, hahahaha."
Wade is a very temperamental person.
When interviewing him, you always get answers that are different from other stars' 'sound and steady' answers.
All eyes at the dinner table were focused on Fan Xi.
They all wanted to see Fan Xi's reaction.
Unexpectedly, Fan Xi was extremely calm, acting as if he didn't hear anything.
Mount Tai collapses in front of him, but his appearance remains unchanged.
This is what Fan Xi's mother has asked him to do since he was a child.
A man can have a turbulent world in his heart, but he must not let outsiders see it.
…
The game day is coming soon, and TNT even moved the live broadcast room to the scene. Usually this is the treatment for Christmas games and playoffs.
However, this game between Kobe and the Big Three is really eye-catching.
Kobe was interviewed before the game. He said that his body was back to 200% and he couldn't wait to face Miami's Big Three with Fanci and Gasol.
When Kobe called Fanci's name at this time, the reporter asked: "So, the new Big Three of the Lakers are you, Fanci and Gasol?"
"You will know after watching the game." Kobe smiled slightly, deliberately showing off.
It also leaves room for Fan Xi.
What if Fanci does not perform well in this game?
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Fanci was practicing on the sidelines, and he hit 100% of his three-point shots. His touch was very good tonight, and the weather in Miami was very suitable for his performance.
