"Clang!"
With a loud bang, Kobe Bryant jumped high into the air and aimed at the basket. He made a split dunk.
After landing, his eyes were stern and sharp, and his heart was filled with determination.
The new season was about to begin!
My debut season is here!
In the past eight preseason games, as a rookie, he could only play as a substitute. However, in his limited playing time, he still scored an average of 10.6 points, 3.5 rebounded and 1.2 assists per game.
It looked like the statistics were very average, just the standard of a normal starter, but they only played 20 minutes per game.
After he was selected by the Hornets, he refused to report in response to the promise of the general manager of the Los Angeles Clippers, West. West also fulfilled his promise and sent the team's All-Star center, Divas, to the Hornets to bring him back.
However, the rumors outside were that the Los Angeles team made the choice to make room for O'Neal, and Kobe was just a bonus.
There were many such rumors, and no one took the number 13 show seriously.
Your whole family is the bonus.
Kobe, who was looked down upon, trained with obsession all day long. Even in the summer league, he continued to prove himself crazily. He had an average of 25 points per game in four Summer League games and scored 100 points in four games. His desire to attack was extremely strong.
However, the outside world did not value him because of this. They only thought that he was a talented rookie.
Other than the logo man who traded him to the Laker but went invisible, no one could see that he had the potential to be Jordan's successor.
If the summer league was not enough to prove his excellence, then he would wait for the regular season to arrive and slap the faces of the media reporters who looked down on him.
The more Yang Ming and Iverson were in the news and praised by others, the deeper his obsession became.
We're both rookies from the same batch, and I'm not any worse than them!
Especially Yang Ming, who was also 18 years old and in his prime. He did not think that he was inferior to the other party.
Therefore, in addition to proving his excellence, he also had the awareness to compete with Yang Ming and Iverson.
However, the current team relied more on the team's old core, Eddy Jones. They ignored his hard work in training and turned a blind eye to his offensive talent. They kept him on the bench and let Jones occupy too much of the playing time. Even in training, the ball was mostly concentrated in the hands of Jones and O'Neal.
While he was unhappy, he looked forward to snatching the ball and quickly rising to the top.
The more outstanding Yang Ming's performance was, the deeper his obsession became and the more he wanted to prove himself.
Now that the new season had arrived, the opportunity to prove himself had also arrived. As long as…
Compared to Kobe, who was training with fire, Iverson, who was far away in Philadelphia, was much happier.
As soon as he entered the team, the management and coaching staff treated him as the core of the team. Whether it was the summer league or the preseason, he was given enough playing time. None of the new or old players could snatch the ball from his hands.
"Swoosh!"
With a big change of direction, he passed the 196-cm substitute guard, Giansirio Harris, and made an easy layup under the basket. Harris looked at him, trembling.
This was already the sixth time he had been passed in training. Every time, Iverson left him completely behind.
His speed was too fast. He could not keep up at all.
Coach Johnny Davis was very satisfied with Iverson's performance.
From the moment the opponent entered the team, he had displayed an extremely tyrannical talent. His offensive ability was extremely strong, and what was even more amazing was his gorgeous ball control skills. Under the confusing skills, no one could defend against the opponent.
In every training session and every game, Iverson was able to beat up his opponents. His undefeatable passing skills and lightning-like speed had become his strongest trump card.
Although he still looked immature and too independent, Johnny Davis secretly believed that the great revival of the Sixers was just around the corner.
And Iverson was the one who led the team's revival.
Iverson was feeling very pleased with himself. In the preseason, he could get an average of 17 points, 2.5 rebounding, 3.6 assists, and 1.8 steals in 25 minutes per game. His statistics were excellent.
However, he had never let the hateful Yang Ming have an easy time.
He had been beaten by his opponent in the summer league, and he had scored more points than him in the preseason. That kid was better than him everywhere he went, and he was very unhappy!
Although he was also a man who scored more than 30 points per game in the summer league, coupled with his performance in the preseason, he was completely worthy of being the top draft pick.
However, how can the side of the couch allow others to sleep?
With this mentality, Iverson seemed to have been injected with chicken blood and worked even harder in the training game. Yang Ming was like a wild beast, eyeing him from afar, stimulating him to move forward bravely.
The new season is here, kid. Just wait for me to fight you.
Just like that, Iverson of the Philadelphia 76ers, Kobe of the Los Angeles Clippers, Marbury of the Nottingham Timberwolves, Ray Allen of the Milkinson Bucks, and so on, the rookies of the golden generation of the 1996 Celestials, began to sharpen their swords and prepare for the new season. They swung their swords at Yang Ming.
1st November, evening.
The first match day of the 96/97 season finally arrived.
On that day, there were 14 matches in the league, almost all the teams.
The most eye-catching match was the defending champion Chicago Bulls, versus the Boston Celtics.
In fact, after Bird retired, the Celtics went from bad to worse. Although the team still had two or three Hall of Fame players, they lacked a decisive core player. The Celtics even lost the qualification to make the playoffs. In the first three seasons, only one season made it to the playoffs.
The Bulls were facing such an old team without any suspense.
At the same time, there were also the Suns vs. the Clippers, the Kings vs. the Rockets, the Spurs vs. the Timberwolves, the Knicks vs. the Raptors, etc.
When Yang Ming was about to take part in the competition, the multiple-choice question popped up in the system.
" Option 1: Get more than 30 points in the first battle. Reward: 10 attribute points. Failure, 10.3 points of ability value deducted!”
" Option 2: Make it to the All-Stars in his debut season. Reward: Failure, 20.3 points of ability value deducted!”
"Option 3: Surround Jordan's rookie season's statistics in all aspects in his debut season. Reward Jordan with a big offensive gift pack (basket attack, back-to-back, fadeaway jump shot training card). Failure, 50.3 points of ability value deducted!”
Get lost!
Yang Ming looked at the penalty for failing the three options and roared angrily.
(Are the brothers on vacation? (I don't think there's anyone here!)
