San Jose, California, a middle-aged man is watching a web page at his desk. The huge screen is a characteristic of the times.
"Slap." A newspaper was photographed in front of him.
"Whitman, what are you doing?" The middle-aged man was startled and raised his eyes.
"Pierre! You must look at this!"
"What is this?" This pair of gloves does not fit "?"
"Look carefully!"
The Lakers star, Kobe Bryant from Raul Meyer High School, scored 35 points, 5 rebounds, 8 assists, 3 steals, 1 block and 3 turnovers in the Lakers game against the Supersonics yesterday. He led the team to defeat the opponent 117: 102.
The outstanding talented defender faced the challenge of gloves Gary Payton and responded effectively, leading his team to continue to top the league list. And Payton gave the Houston Rockets the second hand in the West with poor performance.
Payton's brazen words before the game seemed to be a joke, and he became himself by zero seal, and was countless face-to-face by 18-year-old talent rookie Kobe.
Kobe has attracted a lot of popularity with a series of wonderful performances. To know that this is the first year of his career, he still has endless room for growth.
We totally deserve to expect the future star of an alliance to rise.

"Wow, it looks like this kid is very powerful."
"Yes! He is the potential new star I told you, he will become our eBay cash cow!"
"I agree with him 100% to represent our company, but for him to create a sports brand alone, is it too risky?"
"Pierre! When he joins, I agree that you will be the CEO of eBay, provided he joins. Without Kobe, I will return to Bain & Company!"
"John, please! You are the key to eBay's success!"
"Then agree, the magician will also participate in the shares, and the three of us will operate a new sports brand, and this brand will surpass NIKE, surpass AD! You will see a spectacular scene like Jordan shoes, all street kids Will be proud to wear Kobe shoes! "
"I believe you, John." Pierre Omidyar clapped. He was willing to let go with his partner. EBay quickly became popular in more than a year after it was founded, but they need stronger influence!
. . .
"Boss, sorry to disturb you at this time!"
"Rob, it doesn't matter. Is there anything?" Bryant just arrived in Utah. The Lakers, who just beat the Supersonics, had to take another day away against the Utah Jazz.
"EBay agreed to all our endorsement requirements, and basically determined the cooperation relationship!"
"WOW, that's awesome!" Kobe was a little excited, and his proposed endorsement contract for shoes had very exaggerated conditions.
The first contract is 10 years, which requires the other party to create an independent sports brand and an independent company. The contract value is 3 million per year and 10% non-dilutable equity. At the same time, he will participate in the design and manufacture of sneakers and have a say in the pricing of sneakers.
Under the current situation where a large number of celebrity sneakers have an annual contract of only a few hundred thousand, Kobe's request is simply a fantasy. His plan took a year to prove that he was worthy of the contract, but eBay's involvement made him unexpected.
"Magicians will participate in the shareholding as a third-party shareholder. We will continue to finalize the specific details."
"I can't wait to wear my own sneakers to play." This is a heartfelt sigh, the function of sneakers in the current era is really lagging behind.
The current sneakers in the world, regardless of grip, protection, and aesthetics are far from the level that Kobe wants. This makes Kobe a headache. It is important to know that for the defender, a large number of emergency stops, if there is no good protection, the damage to the ankle and knee is very large.
But from the finalization of the contract to the designer and Kobe design together, the final product will take a lot of time to formally produce. Kobe still has to wear shoes of different brands to play.
At present, Kobe likes to wear AJ11 color.

"Mr. West, I need to tell you that the Dallas Mavericks are now out of order and all players are on the shelf. You can contact me if necessary."
A phone call awakened West who was taking a nap in the office.
Mavericks rebuilt? Unexpected but reasonable.
The Dallas Mavericks have the fourth-best heavy guard Jim Jackson in 1992. The 1.98-meter, 100-kg shooting guard scored a superstar performance of 25.7 points, 5.1 rebounds and 3.7 assists in the third year of his career. Unfortunately, an injury has ruined him. Now last season, he still performed well on both ends of the offense and defense, scoring 19.6 points, 5.0 rebounds and 2.9 assists.
They also have Jamal Marshburn, the fourth pick in 1993. Marsh Ben has all the elements of a successful front line. The rookie can get 19.2 points, 4.5 rebounds and 3.4 assists. In the second and third season, he can get 24 + 5 averages per game, which is now the leader among small forwards in the league.
In 1995, they won Jason Kidd of the University of California with the second overall pick. The rookie has a height of 1.93 meters and a weight of 93 kilograms. He has a perfect point guard body ~ EbookFREE.me ~ His overall view and ball control skills are excellent, and he shared the best rookie of the year with Grant Hill.
Kill's power is evident from the fact that Hill is the future facade of the alliance. In the second season, Kidd could contribute 16.6 points, 9.7 assists and 6.8 rebounds.
Mavericks have these three top talented rookie players, but they did not lead the team to play an excellent record. The year-end record of the regular season, this season is a 4 win 11 defeat crash start, and the Mavericks owner Donald Carter finally no longer expects the "three J combination".
This year is a well-recognized draft year, and Tim Duncan of Victor Forest University is scheduled to be the No. 1 pick. Others such as Keith Van Horn, Chauncey Billups, Lamar Odom, and Ron Mersel are also players with star potential.
Donald Carter knows clearly that without a team-building core, the team must be a mess, and he wants to find a true team-building core.
"Three J Combination" was also put on the shelf. They will weigh the best chips to trade them.
The Lakers young players are their ideal target if they can trade to Kobe. They are willing to trade the "Three J Combination" to the Lakers together. Other players such as Fisher, Ben Wallace and Van Exel also have very high transaction value.
Jerry West hung up and had to admit that the players on the Mavericks shelf are very attractive. But it's hard to get the team without paying a price.
The team's current tacit understanding is obvious to all. His expectations for the team are very high, and the upper limit of this team is very worth looking forward to.
At least for now, no team in the West can win the Lakers steadily. So does it need to be changed? West pondered.
