018 Love Clips

Unlike Wang Dazhi, who is ignored, Kobe is a rare potential stock in the eyes of wealthy families.

Becoming a member of the Los Angeles Lakers has always been Kobe's long-cherished wish. The only team that could impress Kobe was another protagonist of the 1980s, the Boston Celtics.

Wang Dazhi can understand Kobe's mood. He knows that anyone who gets a trial invitation from Cardinal Auerbach will be so excited that he can't sleep.

Wang Dazhi accompanied Kobe to experience the atmosphere of the Celtics. The Celtics recognized Kobe's strength very much, but no one dared to comment on whether Kobe was worth signing with the sixth pick in the first round!

After returning to Philadelphia, Wang Dazhi and Kobe Bryant still maintained high-intensity training every day.

But Joe Bryant is on pins and needles every day. Wang Dazhi's draft prospects are not optimistic. In fact, the only team that has officially tried out Wang Dazhi is the Los Angeles Lakers.

Lao Qiao believed that Kobe would never fall below the 20th pick, and the Lakers' first-round pick No. 24 was Wang Dazhi's best and only chance.

Lao Qiao called Kupchak without telling Wang Dazhi.

Joe Bryant: "Hey, old friend!

Are you busy with the recent draft picks?"

Lao Qiao said very anxiously on the other end of the phone.

Kupchak: "The team is indeed very busy, but the draft matter did not involve too much energy on my part.

You also know that the No. 24 pick in the first round is a very embarrassing pick."

Kupchak is now assisting Jerry West in trying to snare the big fish in free agency.

Joe Bryant: "In fact, if the No. 24 pick is used properly, it can also greatly improve the team's combat effectiveness.

I wonder if you have any plans for this?"

Joe Bryant knew that his words and deeds were out of line. In the NBA, his words were very taboo.

Kupchak: "Oh no, Joe!

You have been in the league for so many years, do you think we can select Kobe Bryant with the 24th pick?

I heard that Kobe Bryant's trial training in Boston was also very successful. In fact, there is no need for you to call me, although I can understand your feelings as a father."

Kupchak was very confused by Joe's call.

Joe Bryant: "I think you got me wrong, man!

I want to say that Wang Dazhi is a young man with great potential."

Joe Bryant pondered for a while and decided to express his thoughts directly.

Kupchak: "Wang Dazhi?

Is he the big guy you brought? If I remember correctly, he is wearing the same team jersey as Kobe Bryant?

He is very good and we will consider him. Sorry, Old Qiao, I have other work here. We will talk about it when we have the opportunity to meet in the future."

Kupchak hung up the phone in a hurry. He felt that Wang Dazhi was not worth wasting a second of his time.

After being hung up abruptly, Lao Qiao lay down on the sofa in frustration. He thought that if he didn't do something, Wang Dazhi might really lose the election.

Old Qiao thought about it and called the 76ers manager. After all, he still had some cards in Philadelphia, but he could only hire a video analyst to help him.

Lao Qiao spent his own money to hire a video analyst from the 76ers to cut out all the Wang Dazhi footage from the Lower Merion High School game video. Then Lao Qiao personally checked and edited the parts that best reflected Wang Dazhi's technical characteristics and outstanding potential.

Then integrate them into collections.

Time was tight, and after the final highlight tape was completed, he flew directly to Los Angeles alone with the tape and came to Kupchak's office.

Kupchak: "Oh my god, if it weren't for Wang Dazhi's yellow skin, I would have thought he was your illegitimate son!"

When Kupchak learned about Lao Qiao's purpose, he covered his face and said in confusion.

Joe Bryant: "After you watch this video, you will know why I did what I did. If you were in my position, you might be more anxious than me."

Lao Qiao didn't explain much and just helped Kupchak put the videotape into the video recorder.

If the Lakers were not determined to win Kobe Bryant, Kupchak would have politely asked Joe out of the office due to his temper.

When the highlights just started, Kupchak's expression was full of impatience, but as the playback time went by, Kupchak gradually became attracted to the content on the TV.

Kupchak: "This kid's inside steps are very delicate, and his left-hand finishing is really soft, but I don't know if he can do this with ease in a good confrontation.

He has a good sense of rhythm and plays smart!"

The 76ers' video editor is very skilled. He knows that if he wants to recommend an inside player, he must put the highlight inside offense at the beginning.

Technical insiders like Wang Dazhi, of course, focus on low-post offensive shots. During Wang Dazhi's three-year career at Lower Merion High School, he had too much material for his gorgeous moves.

Top NBA managers like Kupchak can certainly see the clues, even though Wang Dazhi is much taller than his opponent, and the level of confrontation in the high school league is also very low.

However, many blue-collar big men in the NBA will not be able to do such a smooth inside job even in a non-confrontational situation.

Seeing Kupchak's changes, Lao Qiao's nervous heart finally relaxed. It seemed that his dollars had not been wasted.

Kupchak: "Wow! Can yellow people really dance?

Kobe Bryant's alley-oop pass was so beautiful!

The entire audience dunked over three people in a row? A seven-foot-long man? It’s really incredible!”

The second part of the collection focuses on Wang Dazhi's outstanding physical fitness. Different from the first part of the collection of insider moves, in this video, Wang Dazhi seems to have transformed into a flying and violent man!

Wang Dazhi's physical fitness at this time is no less than that of Yi Jianlian in his draft year.

Kupchak: "This kid actually has a hand in planning?

Old Joe, look, he and your son have a tacit understanding. How did he know that Kobe Bryant would appear in that position when his back was turned to Kobe Bryant!

Oh my gosh!

It’s like Wang Dazhi has telepathy with Kobe Bryant! Their tacit understanding is simply terrifying!”

This third part is all Wang Dazhi's freehand assists for Kobe. Kupchak's exclamation is no exaggeration. Wang Dazhi and Kobe do have an extraordinary tacit understanding.

This video not only shows Wang Dazhi's support ability, but Kobe's ability without the ball is also fully demonstrated.
