nba科比少年时代（NBA Kobe boyhood）

nba科比少年时代（NBA Kobe boyhood） nba科比少年时代(NBA Kobe boyhood) "My father taught me the most valuable thing is the love of basketball, love for fans.". He told me not to let the pressure and the expectations of people destroy your own enjoyment from basketball. He told me to fully show my emotions in the game and do what I want to do boldly. Basketball is an art, playing is a process of looking for happiness." Less than 10 years old, little Kobe and his father began a one to one practice. To cultivate this father, does not require Kobe to succeed in the days after NBA, but let Kobe find joy in basketball, to know how to find the joy of life. In the free sunshine of Italy, Kobe's football skills grew up, and his peers were no longer his rivals. Kobe often watches the NBA game on the other side of the ocean. The bedroom is filled with posters of Jordan, Byrd and the magician. In his eyes, these giants are not so far away, he has begun to understand the basketball giants of basketball love, he thinks they play on the court magic, you can do it yourself. Of course, all this has to go back to the United States to prove it. Motherland is like a foreign land In 1991, Jo Bryant played eighth seasons in Italy, he is 38 years old, these years he has been in Italy to earn enough money, enough to make a return after the easy life, let 3 children receive the best education. Joe bought a house in the wealthy Philadelphia Raul and accepted the Merrion, invited by a local university, the school served as coach, but also for some European basketball club as a scout. Little Kobe and two sisters also attended Raul Merrion middle school. Return to the motherland the little Kobe did not adapt to the new living environment immediately, at the age of 13, he was already 1.78 meters, Raul is a noble Merion high school, he can not find a few black students in the class, even more frightening is that students are not accustomed to his mouth a strong Italy accent english is always funny looks he. Kobe once again by the different cultures, the gap between Italy and childhood in American society is great, there is no companion in the school, Kobe will most of the time in the course of consumption. Shortly after entering the school, Kobe began to participate in the school basketball team training. Junior high school grade two, he played with the school two teams, but at the beginning, his company friends on the field shouting some slang can not understand, it is difficult to form a tacit understanding with others. Although he can easily break through the opponent's defense, he can not find the pass object. However, the unique physical quality, let him stand out among his peers, he often from the backcourt dribbling, across the entire court, breaking through all opponents scoring. The flexibility of the body, the explosive force and the kind of basketball inspiration can not be described, so that the 13 year old children on the court is particularly eye-catching. That attracted the attention of Greg Dauna, the school coach. Jim was only 26 years old, in the University also played basketball for several years, is a good defensive guard. When the other sports teacher recommended Kobe to Jim, he decided to try Kobe personally look like. One Friday afternoon, the students of the school basketball team were out of school, some of them went to play tennis, some went home to watch TV, and the empty court was covered with sunshine. Dauner stroll to the sidelines, suddenly Kobe saw a man in the layup. The child seemed to be and imaginary enemy rivalry, spit out the tongue while left and right swing break, while in the air, turn the hook shot. "Hey, Kobe, who are you fighting with?"" Hello, coach, I'm fighting with shadow enemy." Little Kobe wipe, shyly replied. "Shadow enemy" dauner aroused interest, he went on to play, Kobe said: "well, I'm your real enemy now, let us have a real bull!" Kobe laughed again, and he seemed to be a little timid. But once the ball reached his hand, it seemed to immediately become part of his body. Kobe dauner stuck in a circle near the upper part of the body, But the child suddenly twisted to the right, and then walked two steps to the left, immediately broke into the basket. 10 minutes later, dauner decided to abandon it. "I admit that I did, but the 13 year old child," in the autumn of 1998, dauner recalled, "he was a devil, or just a tiny Jordan. It's impossible to prevent him from one to one. I've never seen such an outstanding middle school student." After a bullfight with coach, Kobe became the main player of the school team. Dauner promised to please Kobe eat. Kobe thought, and said, "macaroni and pie." He still likes to eat Italy food, and the words can also hear the Italy accent. Rewrite the history of the school team Since Kobe appeared in the Raul team, who knew the Merion school basketball history to be rewritten. The noble school has trained many celebrities in Philadelphia's political, business and entertainment circles, such as the famous Republican Senator Dole and movie star Al Pacino, but never trained a sports star. A struggling basketball team Raul Merrion is in Philadelphia, is not an ordinary high school team of rivals. The black child grew up in the street playing basketball, completely despises the white aristocracy school in smart clothes in this team until the emergence of an inexperienced youth, a black boy genius. The first year Kobe joined the team and did not succeed, Raul team in the League 4 division Merien wins and 20 losses, even the 1992 - 93 season playoffs are not qualified. But the youngest Kobe averaged 18 points, even in some not fit to be seen defeat, he will be staged several times unbelievable layup or behind the ball. Coach Jim realized the potential of Kobe, he decided to focus on Kobe to build the school basketball team. "Kobe is a volcano," dauner said, "perhaps because of the growth environment is different, and his classmates not much. But his determination to succeed and hard training, beyond my imagination. Other children at this age are not addicted to electric travel, but they want to make friends with girls, but Kobe only has basketball. Of course, his grades are the best for the team." Summer vacation is coming, Kobe began a comprehensive self training, he insisted on running in the morning every day, skipping, weightlifting, still in the backyard with a 3.2 metre high basket, secretly practicing the dunk low basket gave him great confidence. In addition, his father's guidance also broadened his vision of the court. He also had the chance to go to the Philadelphia 76 game with his father, and on the sidelines, the old man of the 76 team told Kobe, "your father was a real killer."!" Kobe was happy. "Hey, I'm going to be better than him."." Then, he would come back to the court in a vigorous way, starting for several hours, and even watching the adults shake their heads". Kobe is after a year has more than 1.90 meters, Raul Merrion team made a historic breakthrough in his leadership: they brought the first title under the school for 57 years in the division of the league, then to 16 wins and 6 losses record from the Philadelphia High School League Central Division to break, enter the Pennsylvania state high school big league. Kobe, 14, averaged 22 points and 10 rebounds per game, and the Philadelphia Observer newspaper began to focus on the growth of this talent. Although in the State League, Raul Merrion team failed to pass the first round, but the ability of Kobe caused a stir. The first victory, let young Kobe's confidence, he knows this is the sweat of honor, he knows he can do better, because the average age is 3 years older than his opponent! The tireless "field mouse"" The second season makes the varsity team's winning percentage increased by 60%, and entered the state's high school league, the Philadelphia senior high school in league history, Chamberlain in 50s, who have not yet done, Kobe's confidence as shot up like a rocket, in the summer of 1994, he practiced hard much harder. In less than two months of summer vacation, Kobe played 6 weeks, and at least two years older than he played high school students, And then we went to two youth basketball camps. The first training camp is Adidas sports products company held at Dickinson University ABCD training camp, Adidas experienced commercial crisis in late 80s, is gradually rising, they will be targeting the U.S. market, the training camp invite nationwide top high school students, Kobe was among the 60 people only a high a student. Then he went to his father's alma mater, Lhasa University, to train young people who had just entered college, and his father had become an assistant coach at the University of Lhasa. In the two week of training at the University of Lhasa, Kobe didn't take his father's car to the gym one day. He wasn't 16 years old, and he couldn't get his driver's license. Kobe stepped on a bicycle every morning at 8 o'clock, and went to Lhasa University Gymnasium in the center of the city for an hour, and started training immediately. From 9 in the morning to 9 in the evening, he kept running on the floor, tired and hungry, and stopped to drink water and eat a hamburger. Formal training time, Kobe works harder than the other players, while others are home to rest, he was still practising pitching and passing. The first two days, the afternoon father left the building, also want to take Kobe home together, but he later abandoned the plan: "my son is a workaholic, unless yelled at him, otherwise you can't make him stop training." Kobe didn't think about injuries or fatigue, and on the court, he could find the happiest mood and let him stop training. The Lhasa arena ever since a tireless "field mouse", when looking at the arena the old man came home from work at night, as long as he far whistle three times to Kobe, Kobe will carefully all the lights in the training, to lock the door. The key, naturally, was in Kobe's hand, and the second day he was the first to open the door. September school, dauner coach Kobe's progress to feel fear". But Jim did not rest this summer, he found a good helper for Kobe: Monsky, Griffin and Pangelaqiao 3 strikers, Rosen and Feldman inside the full impact. Such a strength of the average of the auxiliary squad, plus Kobe Terry odd material, has been in the imagination of Raul dauner Merien players take scissors celebration nets the state's high school league. The school won a statewide championship in 1943, when not only were the children not born, even their parents were not born. At the time that Kobe dauner thrive, to win the state champion. How to face failure The season begins. Raul Merrion middle school every Saturday like a holiday for varsity basketball game. The regular season they easily cross the border, killing all the way to the same team fled. The result of 26 wins and 5 losses makes them win the Division League Championship, and then wins the Philadelphia central division championship with the full winning record, once again enters the Pennsylvania middle school big league tournament playoff. The oldest high school tournament in the United States, known as the AAAA League, was named by Marshall, Secretary of state, in 1945. The reason why it was called "4A" League was that the highest rank of the United States was "five-star general" at that time". Marshall himself was one of the first five star generals in the United States. He named the high school league in Pennsylvania as "4A", and its praise was self-evident. The Raul team in the first round of 76 than 70 Merrion beat 6 times won the state champion Ridley middle school, Kobe alone took 42 points, let dauner smile. After the game, he said to the Philadelphia TV reporter who came to interview: "the champion of the state is in front of me, and I don't need to take any special tactics, as long as they pass the ball to Kobe." However, dauner happy in the head, the second round they had experienced steady play Chester high school team, the team sent two 2 meters tall, senior students watch Kobe, and try to organize offensive positions, control the rhythm of the game, not to let the fast attack Raul Merrion team hit up. Chester team 77 - 50 victory, Kobe for the first time tasted the pain of failure. Back in the locker room, Kobe choked back tears, apologize to the coaches and teammates, because his performance is to make the team defeat, Kobe scored 31 points, but shooting only 37%, he will choose the mobile phone is not good, but not the ball to teammate. Kobe swore to his teammates, "we give up, but we won't admit defeat. We'll win the championship next year."!" This season he averaged 31.1 points, 10.4 rebounds and 5.2 assists per game. Win the championship In 1995 - 96 before the start of the season, "the Philadelphia observer" published an article "who can stop Kobe" article, as of the year prospective high school league, because each senior team coach knows that it will be Kobe and Raul Merrion year middle school. But Raul Merrion team's first 7 games lost 4 games, Kobe sharp, the team is lacking spirit of cooperation. One weekend in December, the Raul team to the Merrion della wall, there is a defensive team. Before the game, the player named Jim to his room, a comprehensive review of the previous team defeat: "this is not Bryant's team, this is our team. Do you remember how the teacher explained basketball when he was playing basketball for the first time? This is a collective movement, there are 5 people on the field, everyone has its own position and role!" Coach furious, let Kobe and teammates aware of the seriousness of the problem. Although the season before prepared, in defensive play, the team with no understanding, they decided to "let the ball on the court, although the core or Bryant, but everyone should assume their responsibilities. And then the incredible 27 wins. They beat all the high school teams in Philadelphia once again, and they won 13 points in the middle division. This team is like the bulls in Philadelphia in the same year. No one wants to beat them. It's just "lose, win."". In January 25, 1996, Kobe scored his first 50 points, the team won the central division champion Philadelphia. He scored 50 points in the first round of the 4A major league. The third is the last out of their rivals Chester team, Raul Merrion team in the warm-up before the game, all the number 27 shirt, because last year they lost the match 27 points to 95 than 64, the results of their revenge, captured Pennsylvania, the Eastern Conference championship. In May 28, 1996, they were in the finals by the hard 47 than 43 beat Western champion. The Catholic high school team won the Pennsylvania state high school league championship for the first time in 53 years. Kobe scored 2883 points in the 4 year high school Tournament (the first year of Kobe or third year students), breaking the record of 2359 points of Pennsylvania high school league scored by Chamberlain, a basketball giant, 40 years ago. After the finals, reporters surrounded Kobe, asked him whether he would take part in the NBA draft, or which university he would choose. Kobe smiled and shook his head. "I'm going to take a shower first, then sleep well, and get dressed for the celebration party." Future options The popularity of Kobe rises with every victory. When Raul Merrion team entered the "4A" League, many Philadelphia students desire most is Bryant Raul's signature and Merrion tickets. Due to the "4A" big league in Pennsylvania, the big hall, the audience must buy tickets to watch the game, and the end of the season Raul Merrion team home court tickets pushed up to 100 dollars a piece, Philadelphia police to maintain order. All Kobe fans have a question: where is the future? Do you choose to go to college or go straight to NBA?. Raul won the Merrion team process, Kobe everywhere to face such a problem. He always smiled and said, "I haven't made up my mind yet. I'm willing to listen to all the advice." If you go to college for the first time, the future will be much smoother. Each of the top NCAA schools offers a full scholarship to Kobe because he's not only a basketball prodigy, but also a great academic achievement. 3 years in high school, his average score was B plus, Even the Duke University, which requires a high degree of academic achievement, is more than enough. At the end of April, Kobe received the invitation of University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill coach, mentor Dean Smith Jordan. With such a respected senior guidance, Kobe can lay a good foundation in NCAA, and then enter the NBA. Kobe rising speed is extraordinary, he felt that NBA is not so far, although in recent years, people on the high school students helicopter NBA is unsatisfactory, but in 1996, Garnett succeeded, which naturally gave Kobe inspiration. At the same time, he knows that NBA is a cruel world, and it's not so easy for a young man under 18 to start a new life. Faced with the choice of the future, Kobe got into a contradiction, until an unexpected contest changed him. Stackhouse singled out Once the problem cannot be solved by Kobe will be back on the court, he worked hard, clear your mind. The same is true with the choice of whether to go directly to NBA. Before the summer camp began, Kobe came to his father's Philadelphia 76 team training hall to train with professional players. Kobe used to train with the 76 players, but he was still a teenager, and the 76 players didn't pay much attention to him. That day, Kobe came to the arena, the 76 player team has not started training, he first practiced a jump shot, and then began his most favorite dunk practice. From the air, a 360 degree turn to flying dunk, buckle windmill, Kobe chest depressed all vent in the basket, his good mood began. Kobe in a dunk, did not find a player standing on the sidelines, he was the 76 player of the team's most red star Stackhouse. Stackhouse graduated from Jordan alma mater University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, is the 1995 draft pick, the day he was rushed to the early training hall, did not expect to run into such an unknown wild boy practicing dunk. Stackhouse didn't see his teammates, a person bored, so mind pan a thought: why not go with this tireless kid to practice it, is to warm up. When the two arena began, Stackhouse initially lead, after all he is dominant in age, strength and experience, but the name of the name, Stackhouse feel wrong, to defend this action as fast as lightning lad is impossible. And Kobe was very successful at defending him, and he was always able to see his intentions in advance, and stuck in the way first. The two men had 13 rounds, and Kobe won by 8 to 5. When the two people stopped sweating profusely, there was a round of applause. Stackhouse discovered that his teammates are standing on the sidelines watching both of them. 1 weeks ago, Stackhouse won 34 points in front of Jordan in a clash with the bulls, but he was so miserable today in front of the unknown boy. Kobe never said he had defeated Stackhouse, and even if people said, he would explain that Stackhouse was too careless. But the bullfight really changed the fate of two people. Stackhouse made a fool of himself in front of his teammates and lost to a 17 year old kid who had no face. After second seasons of Everson, he felt that the 76 team didn't have his place and switched to the Detroit pistons. And Kobe saw his ability from this victory, and he really understood the level of the NBA star, and he decided that he wanted to realize his dream now. This is my own decision In April 29, 1996, Kobe announced that he will be in the afternoon Raul Merion school gymnasium statement tells everyone that he will choose. Campus boiling, Philadelphia media also found the perfect news clues, ESPN networks and CNN TV network in the national news media, also did not pass this message, 70 more than the reporters came to the school gymnasium, look at the record breaking Chamberlin Wonder Boy will go on which road. Hello, I'm Kobe Bryant, Kobe is wearing a business suit stood in the pulpit, "after a long time, and listen to the views of many people, I decided to put their talents......" Here, he paused deliberately, smiling down, as if he had not made up his mind, and all the people were urging him with eager eyes. Kobe knows how anxious people are, in fact, he's just enjoying this moment of suspense and enjoying the joy of life. A few seconds later, Kobe went on to say, "yes, I've decided that I'm going to skip the University and bring my talent directly to NBA." A frenzy of cheers broke out in the stadium, and the fans seemed to be listening to a star who spoke up to Kobe's decision. At this point, the most happy nature is Kobe, he and every pair of outstretched hands to grasp tightly, to meet every request his signature requirements, and elegant answer to the various issues raised by multimedia. In the eyes of the reporters, Kobe was not what career, he just announced that it will enter the occupation basketball, but he showed his mature, make people feel like a 17 year old high school student. "I had to work hard to be on NBA, and I knew it was a huge jump. But it's a hard time for me. I'm still young, and I should take the chance. Can not climb top of peaks, I don't know the answer, but I will try my best to do so, even if the fall into the abyss, I also recognize. This is my own decision." At the press conference, Kobe also appeared behind a group of special guests, they are popular in the Philadelphia Orchestra "the famous BOYS MAN II", two years ago they were Kobe's loyal fans, Kobe today announced its entry into the NBA, they came over from Losangeles drive, special standing on the platform, Kobe music. The Observer newspaper wrote: "a city hero is about to be born, and we have reason to believe that he will be better than Chicago's Jordan."...... But whether Philadelphia can retain him is still a question." Kobe helicopter NBA statement caused a great stir, the Celtics vice president Jennings immediately in the "Sports Illustrated" pointed out that Kobe did not read the university is "a completely wrong," he said in 1995 the rookie Garnett is Mose Malone since the best high school, but if Garnett went to college, then he will be more successful in the NBA, and Kobe, "he is not a Garnett." The more strident criticism comes from the writings of some columnists who directly point to the Bryant couple, who believe that they are influencing Kobe, allowing Kobe to play professional basketball as soon as possible to earn money. Many people say that making money is Kobe's real dream, and this attack stabbed the whole family of Bryant. The parents take the initiative to the media announced the economic income of the family: the Bryant family has been very rich, don't let the son play basketball coach Jim occupation to make money, more for his grievance: "How many of these critics have seen Kobe play and know Kobe? This is a rare genius, one, more important, he is willing to dedicate myself to the basketball. Kobe belongs to that precocious young man. He's 17 now, but I think he'll be able to go to college at the age of 13. He has excellent results, and he is quite mature. It is the best chance for him to realize his dream of life when he enters the highest level basketball league." It was less than two weeks before the draft was announced, and Adidas sneakers found Kobe, who signed a $10 million advertising contract with him. The amount of the contract was not disclosed at the time, and Kobe asked for not to let himself become a media target before joining NBA. But Adidas announced that it will produce a new type of Kobe sneakers". Many basketball people feel strange, very influential in Nike, why Kobe would choose Adidas in Europe? Kobe later explained that he didn't want to be the same as anyone else, even if the "other" was Jordan. Adidas is entering the US market, Like Kobe's entry into NBA, he's opening up a whole new field. "Signing up with a top brand doesn't prove your value."." He had to be different from other people at the beginning, and he had deep feelings for europe. Then Kobe chose Philip Morris Companies as his brokerage company. Kobe is the first basketball player Philip Morris Companies signed, the company in the United States, although very influential, but its business scope mainly concentrated in the entertainment industry, the company's president Arne Tlem wants to enter the NBA market, he saw the potential in Kobe and Kobe, as he chose Adidas, also believe that the ability of Tlem and they have a common goal. Adidas for his specially designed shoes, and he preferred image advertising characters, he managed to enter the NBA through Durham Road, Kobe before he entered the occupation basketball before, had built up his challenger image. From the beginning of May 1996, Kobe began a month around the United States self promotion tour accompanied by the durham. Kobe has to show himself to all the teams because he has not played in the University League, and has not shown his skills in the national media. Travel is very hard, he and 29 NBA team boss, manager or SCOUTS had made contact, set off a "Kobe cyclone", although some teams are skeptical of him, but no one can deny his talent and potential. Most admired by him is Lakers Godfather West. One morning in mid May, Kobe practiced in the Lakers' training hall, and West, who had been watching it, had been silent. The Lakers had only twenty-seventh picks in the first round of the draft, and Kobe could certainly be in the top 15. After training, West said to Kobe's agent, Tlem, "we'll find a way to get him."." Tlem thought it was only a compliment, and I didn't expect West to do it. June 26, 1996 is the draft day, the top year rookie is Everson, Kobe in the thirteenth place by Sherlock Hornets selected. He was so happy that he can finally realize the ambition of the trembling hands. It is not important to enter a team. For a senior student under 18 years old, it is a victory to join any team without fully proving himself. However, people are wondering which NBA team Kobe belongs to. The Sherlock Hornets chose Kobe for the exchange of other players. West sat on the ground looking at Kobe, a whole project emerging in his mind...... West's plan is a 1996 draft in 90s the biggest harvest champion, rookie Everson after 3 years of change in the Philadelphia 76 people team underdog image, has become the league's most outstanding second Kambi "Hot pot king" of Raheem, third is the Grizzlies scoring machine. Fourth Marbury is the Milwaukee bucks, but a minute later he took fifth bucks and a Allen exchange, Marbury and Allen later became the two players to change the fate of. They stand in the draft stage, exchange with different team baseball cap, and then waved to everyone - the ultimate effect which team is not important, the key is to be able to play in the NBA. Kobe was happy with the Hornets, and he didn't complain about which team picked him up. But the Hornets coach doesn't like Kobe, he wants to find a few big players to strengthen the Hornets' basket strength, and it's better to be an experienced adult player. In the draft, Cowens sat with West, and West asked tentatively, "this kid is only 17 years old, but he doesn't look like a 17 year old." Cowens hummed, "17 years old is 17 years old."." West knew that the wasp is sold out to Kobe, then he have an important move, he immediately Buss and Cowens and the Hornets general manager agreed, within a week the Lakers traded Kobe transfer. Cowens did not believe West Kobe will be such a "child" to enrich the team title, But the prestige of the Lakers Godfather made him have to save a few faces for West. Since then raptors, Dallas and Celtics have all exchanged demands for Kobe, but Cowens politely refused. West is signing a contract with O'neal, the big shark. 4 years after O'neal Orlando hit the ball in, hope to join a powerful team, has a glorious tradition of the Lakers is his first choice, and vice president West as his idol of the team, Chamberlain and Jabbar all played here. But O'neal joined the salary must be astronomical, West must be opened 7 years more than $one hundred million in salary can lead to O'neal, O'neal also asked West I promised to work to the Lakers in 2000. According to the labor agreement, the Lakers have gone beyond the salary ceiling, even with the Byrd clause. West thinks carefully that the Lakers who are interested in the Hornets are Divac, the Yugoslavia center. Since Divac joined the NBA in 1989, has been playing the Losangeles Lakers, is a very good center, and then pay the Lakers in the highest player, but compared with the arrogant "shark", Divac is still a difference. West and Divac decided to make a prompt decision, with the Hornets in exchange for Kobe, and then use the spare cap space to sign O'neal. West thinks there is a most powerful insider player, plus one of the most potential all-around players, the Lakers dominate the NBA period is just around the corner. A have proved their ability to exchange center, a 17 year old child, West decided to let the people be startled at, many people believe that the West deal is the adventure of the Lakers in the history of the transaction, not to mention the "equivalent exchange". When the transfer after completion by the end of June, Sherlock finally realized his loss, but they did not blame the team, and Kobe said "too arrogant, just want to join the lakers". In fact, the transfer didn't have anything to do with Kobe, who also heard the news from broker Tlem one day before the incident. Kobe was thinking about fighting with Les and Mason in Sherlock, and fate threw him into Losangeles overnight. On the morning of June 11, 1996 in Losangeles, a tall spirited young man appeared at Losangeles Airport, waiting for his arrival in the waiting room. A passerby looked at him strangely, and asked him, "are you a basketball player?"" "Yes, sir." Replied the young man politely. "Where did you come from?"" "I'm studying at Philadelphia's Raul Merrion middle school......" He hesitated for a moment, and then he laughed. "I think I'm a Laker now." A week later, O'neal came to Losangeles from Orlando and joined Kobe as a newcomer to the great team. At this point, the Lakers lineup, as well as scoring guard Jones, guard Van AiKeSaiEr, power forward Campbell, the strength of a sudden rise to a level, is the league's most talented young team. In the eyes of the Losangeles people, the champion once again waved to them. Kobe to the first lesson of the Lakers, is to learn and understand the glorious history of the team, from 50s the first great NBA center Miken, 60s Chamberlain and West, 80s Jabbar and magic". ?
