My Name is Kobe Bryant

Chapter 5 Battle

"How about it, come and try it and you'll know?" Kobe looked at Stackhouse and smiled.

Stackhouse didn't react at first, is this kid so crazy? He came to challenge the rookie of the team boss during the trial training. This was the first time he had seen this kind of rookie. Thinking back to the story that I had just entered the league last year, challenged Jordan like a brain twitch, and then was beaten up by Jordan, an old hooligan who was addicted to bullying rookies, the corners of my mouth couldn't help twitching.

"Boy, you're crazy." Stackhouse met Kobe's gaze and walked forward.

Kobe shrugged and looked calmly at Stackhouse approaching. Stackhouse was the same height as Kobe, glaring at Kobe with wide-eyed eyes. He realized that if this rookie of the same height as himself entered the team, he would definitely have a positional conflict with him.

"tell me your name."

"Kobe Bryant, before long, this name will be sung throughout the world."

Stackhouse stared wide-eyed, looking at this kid who was even more arrogant than him in disbelief. I'm afraid this kid has a secondary illness!

Of course, Kobe deliberately wanted to provoke a heads-up to complete the side task of restarting his life. Stackhouse is the iron-clad starter of the 76ers. If he wins with a single challenge, he will be able to complete the branch line. If it doesn't work this time, it will be difficult to find a suitable NBA starter to play with him in January.

Kobe didn't think about completing the side missions of going to the prom with Brandy or earning $1 million in the past. He is now a player. Let's talk about basketball. Although there are many opportunities to make money after rebirth, he has no capital now. I don't want to spend too much energy for money, or violate my life principles.

This one-on-one match was already planned by Kobe. Knowing that he would not be selected by Philadelphia, the purpose of participating in this trial training was to complete the task. Of course, such an opportunity to compete with NBA players also excited the itchy Kobe. He can't wait to know what kind of sparks can be produced with 20 years of professional basketball skills and a 17-year-old body.

"You're that high school boy who's running? Do you know who's standing in front of you? It's the great Jerry Stackhouse! Need my autograph?" Stackhouse said Talking loudly, Bian took off his jacket, revealing his muscular body in jersey. He has a rookie physical test of 98KG, and after a year in the NBA, his weight is close to 100KG.

This era is the era of muscle collision, a strong body is the capital of survival in the NBA. And Stackhouse, who entered the league as the No. 3 pick, has a strong confrontation ability and excellent shooting. This is also the reason why he dared to provoke Jordan and dare to be presumptuous in the team.

"Stackhouse? The unknown guy who tried to provoke Jordan?" Kobe continued to fire. He was not good at speaking at the beginning of his career, but now Kobe is an old man, and studying trash talk is his pleasure. He even learned Bosnian before the game (Nurkic is from Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Bosnian is his native language) in order to mock the Blazers' Nurkic.

Stackhouse was furious, "Boy I have to teach you a lesson, make you understand that your achievements in high school are meaningless. There are 100 players who have played in the NBA. Achieved more brilliant achievements than you, and some of them even No ball to play!"

"Wait and see, do you need to warm up?" Kobe smiled when he saw his goal was achieved.

"Warm up, do you still need to warm up to deal with you little brat?" Stackhouse was smitten by the 17-year-old boy's anger, and he was going to show off his skills and teach him a good lesson like Jordan taught him.

John Lucas saw things spiraling out of control, worried that the players would get hurt in the heads-up. "Jerry! Stop it, the team forbids heads-up."

"That's right, but this kid hasn't entered the team yet!" Stackhouse didn't care so much, he just wanted to teach Kobe a lesson.

Lucas knew that Stackhouse was going crazy, and he couldn't stop him, so he had to shut up.

"Come on, 5 goals, you have the ball!" Stackhouse stood on the court. He didn't think a 17-year-old player could pose any threat to him, and he didn't plan to spend too much time in this game. One-on-one, picked up a ball, and threw it to Kobe.

This guy is really simple-minded, Bryant can't help but sigh. Not paying attention to opponents is a big taboo on the court. Kobe will go all out to prepare for every game, watch videos, analyze opponents, prepare trash talk, adjust his physical and mental state, etc. This time is no exception, the muscles and joints have been stretched during the physical test just now, and the warm-up has also been completed.

Kobe attaches great importance to stretching and warming up, which is the best way to prevent injuries. This time, he has paid attention to maintaining his body since he was young. How long can his career last?

"Then let's get started, Kobe has the ball, and I'll be the referee." John Lucas knew that he couldn't stop the game, and at the same time he wanted to see what surprises Kobe could bring him, although he was not optimistic about the young man. Kobe was only 17 years old. After all, Stackhouse is a Philadelphia star who has experienced college leagues and NBA leagues, and has achieved good results.

"Kobe, let them see what you're capable of!" Rob Pelinka doesn't think so. After he made up for high school Kobe's game tape, he doesn't think Kobe will be much worse than Stackhouse. He believes that the only relatively weak confrontation ability, Kobe can also hide it astutely.

Kobe also thinks so. The 12KG weight difference makes them not a heavyweight duel, but excessive weight will also affect Stackhouse's dexterity.

"Okay, then I'll start." Kobe took the ball one step outside the three-point line, lowered his body's center of gravity, put the ball with both hands on his side, stared at Stackhouse, and made a standard three-threat posture.

Stackhouse looked at the thin Kobe, not even willing to bully him with physical confrontation. Just put Kobe one step ahead. "Common, Common, let me see your ability." He said in his mouth, this is the custom of black players, they like to use nonsense to disturb their opponents during the game, and at the same time stimulate their emotions.

Looking at the defensive player one step away, Kobe took off directly, stayed in the air, shot, and the basketball painting drew a beautiful arc. Stackhouse didn't even react, such a defense was equivalent to defenseless for Kobe.

"Shua." The three-pointer went into the net hollowly.

"1 to 0, Kobe is leading, and Kobe is holding the ball." Lucas knew that Kobe had a certain shooting ability, and at the same time felt that the ball might be fooled. After all, three-pointers are not valued in this era.

At the beginning of the second ball, Stackhouse directly pressed forward, but Kobe protected the ball very well. With the help of Stackhouse's forward inertia, he directly dribbled the ball smoothly behind and broke through Stackhouse in one step. Si, received the ball directly after passing, and stepped into the penalty area with a big stride. Soaring into the air, he dunked with one hand!

Stackhouse turned around and could only see the back of the flying in the sky. He stretched out his hand as if trying to grab something, but he didn't grab anything.

Lucas opened his mouth. He has seen countless NBA stars on the court, but he never imagined that a 17-year-old high school student can play such a wonderful performance against NBA players.

"2 to 0, Kobe has the ball!."

Kobe jumped after landing, feeling the vigorous energy of the body, the fast and explosive power of the Achilles tendon, this is the feeling of youth.

On the third ball, Kobe used a tentative step to create a momentary gap, broke through, and only left half a body away, and Stackhouse got stuck in the position. Kobe immediately collected the ball and lifted it up.

Fuck you! As soon as Stackhouse saw Kobe stop and shoot, he immediately soared into the air.

No, it's a fake move. Kobe leaned on the left foot of Stackhouse who jumped up to make a pivot, turned around iconically, leaned back, shot, and then advanced.

Is this kid Jordan's brother? This exact movement made the eyes of those present wide open.

On the fourth ball, Kobe showed off his arsenal, and Stackhouse was overwhelmed by the continuous disguise in front of his body, followed by a mid-range step and jumper. Familiar areas, familiar movements, the basketball hits the net.

The fifth ball is still a simple tentative step. Stackhouse, who was afraid of Kobe's breakthrough, could only shift his focus back, and Kobe made a three-pointer.

"Duang!" The ball bounced out of the frame. Still a familiar voice. Kobe shook his head, shook his hands,

"4-0, Kobe leads, Stackhouse has the ball."

Offensive and defensive transitions, Stackhouse finally got the right to attack.

"Boy, that's it. Next, let's show you an NBA-level offense!" Stackhouse, who got the ball, couldn't wait to prepare to teach this kid with amazing offensive talent. He had to admit that this kid's The offensive ability is too terrifying, and I can't keep up with his offensive rhythm at all. With those actions, he even feels like facing Jordan.

Stackhouse lowered his center of gravity and made an undisguised breakthrough to the right. Kobe kept his torso upright and didn't press too hard. He got stuck in front of Stackhouse with a stride. He knew that with his current strength, a collision would make his defense out of position. He would try to avoid the body Collide, use agility and bounce to seal off your opponent's attacks.

Stackhouse was stuck by Kobe and went directly to the basket. If he continued to bury his head in the breakthrough, he would only be driven to the bottom line, so he had to cross step and change direction, and even sold an opening to let Kobe step forward to steal. Kobe was unmoved and continued to stick to the offensive position. The seemingly easy defense made every movement of Stackhouse very uncomfortable.

Damn it! Why is this kid's defense so calm? This is not like a 17-year-old boy!

Stackhouse wanted to use his strength to crush Kobe, so he half-turned into a back-up state. Kobe held Stackhouse's waist with his left hand to feel the force, and the center of gravity of the upper body remained neutral. This is the way he has defended low offense for many years.

Starks took two steps back, Kobe confronted him stubbornly, but kept backing away. Stackhouse felt that he had made enough offensive space, took another step, and took advantage of the opportunity to turn around and shoot a jumper.

"Crack!" Kobe Bryant, who had already been pushed away, covered the basketball he had just shot. It turned out that the moment Kobe was pushed away, as if he knew that Stackhouse would make a shot, he quickly rushed forward, taking off and blocking the shot in one go.

"Damn!" Rob yelled.

"Damn it, you damn brat!" Stackhouse couldn't hold back his face, and he was so angry that he picked up the basketball and threw it at Kobe.

"Why, can't you afford to lose?" Kobe smiled provocatively again, and Stackhouse took a deep breath.

"It's not over yet, you come to attack!"
