Kobe Bryant's short stories.

(1) Following in his father's footsteps, the runaway peach blossom in his childhood-"alien" Kobe Bryant.

NBA stars like tattoos, but he regards tattoos as "barbaric acts". On the way to the away game, teammates played cards, laughed and had fun, but Kobe hid in the corner reading books, listening to music or watching DVDs prepared by his mother Pam. In the eyes of teammates, Kobe is "aloof"; In the coach's eyes, Kobe Bryant on the court is "too independent".

Kobe never pays attention to other people's comments. He is a man who lives in his own world. This may be related to Kobe's family and childhood experience. Kobe's father, Joan Bryant, is also an NBA star. Ke is like a flowing ball wind, much like his father twenty or thirty years ago.

In an ordinary house in Los Angeles, a 3-year-old boy wearing a Clippers jersey plays ball and watches TV. There is a father on TV. Every time his father scores a goal, the boy will clap his little hand red and cheer with the TV commentary. He is little Kobe.

Mother Pam came over and lovingly wiped her son's sweat. The boy said innocently, "Mom, I want to play NBA when I grow up!" " Pam smiled and gave her son a hug.

Kobe's father, Joan Bryant, played in the NBA for eight years, playing for the 76ers, Clippers and Rockets, but his NBA career was not successful. Excessive pursuit of "fancy" is Joan Bryant's achilles heel.

Harris, who will be the coach of China Men's Basketball Team, once coached Kobe and his son. Harris still remembers Joan's gorgeous juggling and passing skills. West, the godfather of the Lakers, hit the nail on the head: "Joan is not playing ball, but putting on a show." This alone is doomed that he will never become a top star in the NBA. "

Joan outside the stadium is also good at putting on a show. In interviews, he always designs a cool look: sometimes he smokes a thick cigar, and sometimes he even carries a guitar on his back. In the eyes of Americans in the 1970s and 1980s, Joan was definitely romantic and fashionable. At this point, Kobe is like his father.

His father had the greatest influence on Kobe, as well as his "happy principle". "My father always laughs when he plays ball. He said that playing ball is a happy thing, otherwise basketball will lose its meaning. " So Kobe always smiles, even in adversity.

Wandering childhood

Kobe's home is not rich, but it is still warm.

Father Joan and mother Pam are family friends. They have known each other since childhood and have been in love since high school. Kobe has been dating his father since high school. Pam gave birth to three children for her husband. Kobe was born in/kloc-0 on August 23rd, 978, and has two sisters, Charirat and Shaya. Speaking of the origin of Kobe's name, there is an anecdote: Joan and his wife love Japanese food and Kobe's beef, so they named their only son after Kobe.

Joan Bryant, who has a fancy ball style, is not doing well in the NBA. He turned his eyes overseas. 1984, 30-year-old Joan finally decided to drag a family of five across the ocean and set foot on the road of "gold rush" in Europe. Their family finally settled in Reina, Italy, when Kobe was only 6 years old.

Brand-new environment, strange language. Italy is obviously not a paradise for this small basketball fan. There, it is the kingdom of football. After school, Kobe always competes for space with his classmates who love football. If there are only two or three opponents, Kobe can still try to get rid of them, but if there are 10 people playing football, little Kobe can only reluctantly give up what one favours and sometimes be forced to be a goalkeeper.

Knowing her son's mind best, mother bought him a basket and put it in the backyard. The basket, which is now worn out, recorded Kobe's short childhood and left countless lonely figures of Kobe.

However, Italy still left a good memory for Kobe. My father became a hero in the Italian basketball league. There are always fans around him asking for autographs after the game. Kobe and his sister also quickly learned Italian, and there were more friends around them. Kobe lived in Italy for eight years, and his wandering experience in a foreign country brought him closer to his family. He and his two sisters talk about everything. Whether happy or sad, the three brothers and sisters can always share.

So a few years later, when Kobe completely fell out with his family because of his marriage with Vanessa Lanny, it actually laid a curse for this marriage.

Back to America

In middle school, Kobe returned to Philadelphia, USA. The Raul Merion High School he attended happened to be the alma mater of Chamberlain, the "basketball emperor". Kobe not only led the school team to win the state high school championship, but also broke the scoring record that Chamberlain kept for decades. Kobe's basketball talent was discovered, and he quickly attracted the interest of the NBA.

1996, 18 high school student Kobe decided to participate in the NBA draft. 1996 is another "draft event" in NBA history after 1984: Iverson, Camby, Marbury, Ray Allen and other young people dazzled the teams. Among Starlight Glimmer people, Kobe is not humble.

In the end, the Hornets selected Kobe Bryant at 13 in the first round, but coach cowans was bent on being high and was not interested in Kobe Bryant.

West, the godfather of the Lakers, unexpectedly offered to trade Yugoslav center Divac for Hornets for Kobe Bryant. At that time, many people thought West was crazy, while others ironically speculated that his father Joan must have "opened the back door" for Kobe.

Looking back now, West was under great pressure to trade an all-star center for a "wet behind the ears" child. But it turned out that the godfather really had a unique vision.

Life-threatening peach blossom

Some people say it's because Kobe walked so smoothly. The storm in Yingxian last summer became an inevitable "disaster" in his life.

Looking back on Kobe's love path, he had three lovers. The first lover was a Philadelphia girl named Allen Boo. After four years in love, all Allen did was obey. When two people date, it is often that Kobe is absorbed in watching TV, while Allen is waiting patiently. Allen Bu, a 25-year-old community worker, vaguely recalled afterwards: "Either he was extremely selfish, or he didn't love me at all ..."

After breaking up with Allenby, Kobe was once very close to pop singer Brandi, and wherever they went, they would let photographers take enough photos. Although their love affair is vigorous and everyone knows that "much cry and little rain", they soon discovered that this fanatical love affair did not last long. In Brandi's eyes, Kobe Bryant is still a big boy who hasn't grown up and "lacks the interest of life". Since then, Kobe has been pursuing tennis star venus williams, but after that, there is no more. It is said that Venus has little interest in Kobe Bryant.

The emotional gap always needs to be filled. 1an encounter at the end of 999 contributed to Kobe's current marriage. At that time, Vanessa Laney, 16 years old, was still a sophomore and worked as a model in her spare time. Kobe just recorded a song in the studio that day, and they fell in love at first sight. Kobe quickly fell in love with him and picked him up with a black Mercedes every day.

However, their association caused opposition from Kobe's family. They always hope that their son can find a suitable girl. Vanessa's family is poor. She comes from a divorced family and her mother is of Spanish descent. After they dated for a period of time, Vanessa's family frequently used Kobe's money, which made Kobe's parents even more disgusted. To this end, Kobe broke with his family.

In April of 200 1 year, Kobe and Vanessa got married quietly in a small church. My parents and two sisters left Kobe and resolutely moved back to Philadelphia. No one from the Lakers club attended Kobe's wedding.

A close friend said that without this immature marriage, perhaps Kobe would not be caught in the current lawsuit. The taste of being away from others made Kobe feel lonely and helpless for a long time.

Until now, walking on the streets of Los Angeles, you can still see jerseys that say "Kobe the rapist". Through this incident, Kobe became more mature: he returned to Los Angeles with his family; He also received a tattoo for the first time and carved his wife's head on his arm. ...

People are always changing. Life is always the best textbook. Maybe Kobe has a deeper understanding of this.

(2) Master and apprentice

A French child yearns for NBA paradise, but he will fall when he touches the door; This is, someone reached out and pulled him in, covering him in the circle. So the child became a disciple, and his protector was named Kobe.

In the center of the stamp, drums rumble and the light is dim. In the aisle, two inside players Odom and Turiaf surrounded the captain Kobe Bryant, who told them the tactics against the Pacers. Everyone shouted "Come on" and then walked to the stadium, facing the audience of 1.8 million. Turiaf followed Kobe all the way to the stadium, and then began to warm up the leaders as usual. Turiaf smiled and spread himself out, blocking Kobe's way to the basket. But the latter always bypasses this obstacle with a lens accurate to millimeters. The host shouted out the names of the top five Lakers. One by one, the main players went to the substitutes in a circle. Kobe Bryant's last appearance was warmly cheered by the audience. Kobe Bryant ran to his teammates, and Turiaf leaned over to meet him. They beat each other and encouraged each other.

When the opening whistle sounded, Kobe immediately attracted everyone's attention. He hit a heavy punch like a bullfighter's pike, which caused bursts of applause. The butcher's face lit up on the bench. Turiaf sat on the bench for half a day and continued to fight with his opponent in the second half. Suddenly, Kobe sent an aggressive air relay. Martinique came back with a wonderful blind pass. Kobe Bryant was knocked down by the Pacers for the nth time, and Turiaf rushed to pick him up and carry him back to the bench.

"Ronnie is my buddy and my little brother. I can rely on him, he can trust me, and he can entrust me with anything. " For example, ko. This is an interview with Kobe Bryant in the parking lot after training. His eyes are bright, he wears Ray-Ban sunglasses on his T-shirt and fiddles with the latest BlackBerry in his hand, but he is serious when he says this. Kobe didn't use the tone of the press conference, just like when he was interviewed by a cooperative TV station in the NBA. He told us directly and frankly.

Kobe touched the shiny diamond on his right ear, and Kan Kan spoke. A few meters away from him, Turiaf sat in a gray Lexus and said, "Kobe is my man. When I came to the Lakers, he helped me in every way. "

Kobe Turiaf, the superstar and leader of the Lakers, and the surviving French rookie (returning to the court eight months after aortic repair surgery), the meeting between the two is a small legend in itself. The former is an offensive genius, full of strength and talent, and the darling of American basketball; The latter is a French newborn calf, full of energy, just beginning to become a product, busy labeling itself as NBA. The relationship between these two people is the real mutual appreciation, not the warm atmosphere between colleagues that NBA strives to create.

② Superstars and rookies

On the outskirts of Los Angeles, Newport Beach, a villa facing the Pacific Ocean, is huge and worth as much as $5 million. Kobe, his wife and two daughters live here, avoiding the noise of the outside world.

After Kobe finally got away from the suspected rape case in 2003, he paid attention to distancing himself from the media. He leaves most of his time to basketball and his family, and he must bring his personal bodyguard and driver when he goes out. When going out, Kobe will also hide in the metallic gray luster Bentley, and the places to go are also very simple, such as villas, training centers, stamp courts, advertising studios and so on.

Kobe is 28 years old and has played 1 1 year in the NBA, both with the Lakers. He should take the time to write more heavy makeup on his report card. Of course, Kobe already has three championship rings (2000, 200 1, 2002), but all because of O 'Neal. Although Kobe has repeatedly said that he is not Jordan's successor, he obviously wants to follow Jordan's path. He can't let an authority in the family keep pace with himself. He wants to be the leader of the team alone. Finally, at the end of the 2004 season, there was an argument in the Lakers locker room, and finally 1-4 was defeated by the Pistons. The contradiction between O 'Neill and Kobe Bryant began to surface. O 'Neill, who was born in the black area, said Kobe was a selfish child of a rich family. He spent a golden childhood with the father of a professional player in America and Italy. The struggle between them was so fierce that Jackson finally slammed the door and left.

Kobe finally gave the team management an ultimatum, with him without me and with me without him. The management obeyed Kobe Bryant's wishes, sent O 'Neill to Miami and gave the key to the new team leader: a seven-year contract of $654.38+364 million. In the first two seasons of leading the team alone, the team's record was disappointing. The Lakers are in trouble and can't make the playoffs. Kobe knew he was alone and agreed to invite Jackson back. Although Jackson wrote publicly in one of his books: "As long as he is here, I will not coach the Lakers."
