Reborn as Kobe

Labor-management negotiations are a headache for many people.

David Stern called a meeting of various departments of the league to discuss the next negotiation and the tone of the league next season, especially Kobe.

"Jordan has publicly announced his retirement. Fortunately, Kobe Bryant appeared. After the Lakers won the Finals, his reputation has surpassed Jordan."

David Stern was very satisfied with the results of the finals. He used the retired Jordan to win Kobe, and did not reduce the influence of the league. The only flaw is that Kobe is an uncertain factor. Anyone can only borrow from him. And can't influence his decision. To put it bluntly, Kobe is different from Jordan. He will never be a **** of others.

Mark Barack, the head of the NBA’s international development department and one of the vice presidents, said: “Kobe’s influence is very large, especially in the Far East. His reputation has surpassed that of Hollywood’s popular niche Leonardo DiCaprio. In Europe, Kobe also has a large number of fans, movie fans, and book fans. It is a bit sad to say that many young people in Europe are very familiar with Kobe, but don't know much about the NBA, because the first sport they care about is always football."

"Then let them understand the NBA through Kobe's influence." Stern said loudly: "The opportunity is already in front of you. You must know how to seize the opportunity. Whether it is in Europe or China, you must increase the promotion of Kobe. The influence of the alliance, understand?"

Barak nodded, saying that he would make a plan when he went back.

NBA Sports Commodity Director and Vice President Christopher took the words: "We also need to pay attention to the movement with Nike and Adidas. Now the two competing star endorsements have gone too far, especially Nike. Jordan has treated them after retiring. The impact is too great."

"Nike captured Jordan back then, but now it has lost Kobe." Stern smiled and said: "This is actually not a bad thing. A dominance is not necessarily beneficial to us, but we must communicate well with the two companies. The alliance allows Strengthen cooperation with them within the rules and continue to develop the NBA."

After the discussion, the league decided on a plan to expand the commercial value of the league with Kobe. Next season, it is estimated that Kobe will receive more preferential treatment from the referees.

In the original history, Jordan retired, coupled with labor negotiations, the NBA was in a downturn for several years, and it was the arrival of Dayao that really allowed the league to take off again. Dayao not only increased the value of the Rockets tenfold, but also the overall commercial value of the league. They all rolled up. But now that Kobe is the representative of the American dream, the minimum influence of the alliance will not drop.

On June 23rd, Dawson and D'Antoni came to Vancouver, and the draft was about to begin.

When it comes to Tom Thibodeau’s resignation, whose mood is the most complicated, it is D'Antoni first. The two have worked together for a season. Although the coaching philosophy is completely opposite, this cannot hinder his appreciation of Tom Thibodeau. After Thibodeau left, the Rockets became his own team, which also made him full of reveries about the new season.

The draft was changed from the noisy scene of the past and quietly kicked off in Vancouver.

The media's evaluation of this year's rookie level is average, thinking that it is far worse than last year. Duncan and McGrady and Billups are really amazing, but Kobe knows that this rookie class is no less than last year, but many teams holding high-position picks have looked away.

The Rockets have the 4th, 10th, 34th, and 41st picks this year. The Warriors wanted to exchange their No. 5 pick for the Rockets' No. 4 pick plus cash. , Was rejected by Dawson, with Kobe as the backer, they are not bad for money.

The Rockets' fourth and tenth picks come from the Raptors and Celtics respectively, and their fourteenth pick has been traded to the Raptors.

President David Stern made a speech and the draft officially began.

Clippers manager Elgin Baylor was the first to submit his choice, choosing center Michael Olavocandi, nicknamed "Sugar Man."

The number one champion in history is a Nigerian immigrant. I don’t know why. Many experts thought he could become Hakim Olajuwon’s successor and become a new dream.

Like Olajuwon, Olavokandi hasn't been in contact with basketball for a long time, but he has improved very quickly. He has swept the NCAA Pacific Division in his junior year in his junior year, surrendering 22.2 points, 11.2 rebounds and 2.88 blocks. data.

Elgin Baylor is also considered a strange man. It is also a miracle to be able to find hard stones in a pile of beautiful jade. The most legendary is that he has been in the position of Clippers manager for more than ten years. The most amazing is him. In 2009, the Clippers took the Clippers to court, stating that the Clippers discriminated against him in terms of age and race. The Clippers boss was kind to him for not looking for him desperately. He actually had the face to sue his old club. But then again, the current owner of the Clippers is not a good bird, otherwise he would not be forced out of the league because of racial discrimination.

The Grizzlies selected point guard Mike Bibby at second place. People often say that the champion and the second place must have one water, but this year's special, the tail of the golden generation actually has two water. Strictly speaking, the White Devil's ability is not bad, but it doesn't match his order, after all, there are so many strong people behind him.

The Nuggets explorer chose insider Reeve LaFrenz, who has a certain three-point basket and good athleticism. Unfortunately, like many talents, it was eventually destroyed by injuries.

The Rockets chose Chinese Skater as the fourth place. Carter was smiling when he came on stage. Rookie players don't like to be on bad teams. The Rockets belong to a traditional strong team. Coupled with offensive coaches, Carter thinks his chance is here.

The Rockets selected Carter, which made the Warriors overjoyed. They were afraid that the Rockets would cut their heads before, but now they found that Bai was worried. They immediately selected Antoine Jamison with the fifth pick. Jamison's most glorious period should be in the Wizards, but unfortunately because of injuries, he did not reach the peak he deserves.

The Mavericks selected insider Robert Trelle for sixth place, who is 6 feet 8 inches tall and weighs 284 pounds. He was given the nickname "Tractor." Treler is a player with a risk of heart disease. The only thing that makes people remember is that during the Hornets’ period, Treler severely injured Tracy McGrady in a game, causing the latter to back. The sequelae of injuries left behind, leading to McGrady's early retirement.

The Kings picked point guard Jason Williams with the seventh overall pick, a guy who can deceive teammates and enemies at the same time, but Kobe really likes his highly ornamental pass.

The Sixers selected point guard Larry Hughes with the eighth overall pick.

The Bucks drafted Dirk Nowitzki with the 9th overall pick and immediately traded with the Lakers. The Lakers traded Van Exel, Campbell, Rick Fox and next year's first-round pick to the Bucks, and the Bucks sent Ray Allen and Nowitzki to the Lakers.

The Rockets selected forward Paul Pierce with the tenth overall pick. The Green Army’s building blocks are gone, and they don’t know what will happen in the future. If McGrady remains healthy, they still have hope.

The draft continues. After the top ten, there are no decent stars in the first round. Although Bunge Wells, Al Harrington, Ricky Davis and others have played good numbers, they all failed to make the All-Star. This is a pity.

Entering the second round, the 31st Lakers selected Rashard Lewis, who was already crying in the small green house. The reality reversed too quickly, and Lewis immediately changed from weeping to tears of joy.

As for Reuben Patterson, who originally liked to play against Kobe, was selected by the Sonics who lost Lewis.

"Streetball King" Ralph Alston was selected 34th by the Rockets, which is also a substitute for Nash.

"Old Cat" Catino-Mobley was selected by the Rockets in 41st place. Then the Rockets made a deal with the Lakers. The Rockets sent Mobley away and got Joan Barry and the 45th overall pick from the Lakers. .

Kobe also knows that the Rockets must be at a loss, but there are players such as Carter and Bowen at the guard position of the Rockets. Without Mobley's position, the Lakers are simply cheaper, and they can be considered as multiple helpers for their back-end bosses.

The Rockets selected Brad Miller, the biggest bead among the rookies, with the 45th pick.

Miller is 213CM tall and weighs 115 kg. He studied at Purdue University from 1994 to 1998. He represented the university in the NCAA basketball game. He averaged 17.3 points, 8.8 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game.

Miller is one of the most famous NBA draft picks in the history of the original time and space. Due to poor athletic ability, no one cares about it this year. However, Kobe believes that D'Antoni can make good use of him. Miller has a wonderful passing and good three-point ability, which is very suitable for the Rockets' running and bombing system.

The Lakers finally used Sean Lukes, whose contract was about to expire, to get Ryan Bowen from the Nuggets, which was Kobe’s suggestion.

Ryan Bowen is 6 feet 9 inches tall and weighs 218 pounds. His college experience is unpretentious, with 9 points and 6.7 rebounds. There is no outstanding data, but he is basically one of the outstanding school athletes in Iowa every year~www.mtlnovel. com~ He is a recognized defensive expert, able to supervise perimeter scorers, and also able to defend big players like Dirk Nowitzki.

Rian Bowen has never lacked the focus of the game, the most dedicated player on the field, and a model of professionalism; he never loses control and does everything possible to complete his field tasks. There are no distracting thoughts, every ball must be contended, and he dashes all over the field at all costs. However, his offense is very embarrassing and he has almost no effective scoring ability.

When the draft was underway, Kobe had already taken Zhong Xintong and Liu Yufei to the recording studio of Taihe Rye in the capital to start recording the song.

Bryant brought out "Lydia", "Thousand Years of Love", "Our Love", "End of the World", "The Queen of the Next Stop", "Apprentice Eros", "Lover Not Full", "Mouse" for the two. The ten songs of "Love Rice", "Caritas Secret Tutoring Club" and "Kite and Wind" have blocked the roads of many stars, even though these stars have not yet made their debut.

To be honest, Liu Yufei has practiced vocal music for so many years, but in terms of singing skills, he is really not as good as Zhong Xintong. There is no way, this is a question of talent.

Liu Yufei breathed a sigh of relief after recording the song: "I will continue to develop more acting in the future. Singing is really not my strong point."

"It's okay, I will support you then." Kobe said nothing.

"No, I will support you in the future." Liu Yufei said proudly.

"I can't follow up with the MTV shooting. I will go to Australia to shoot "The Matrix 2" after the event in Beijing these days."

"Can we find you then?"

Zhong Xintong has just become Kobe's woman and is very obsessed with him.

"Okay, I will ask Chen Xiaohu to pick you up at that time."
