Because Kobe knew from the moment he saw Jiang Yan dunk against the sky that Jiang Yan was definitely a professional.
But there are many types of professional basketball players.
For example, those who perform professionally or play professionally in competitions.
Kobe is more inclined to think that Jiang Yan is a professional performer.
After all, he is from China, and he is too short. The most important thing is that I have never heard of his reputation.
Of course, what surprised him the most was that Jiang Yan was also a singer.
A professional singer, a very talented singer, actually has something in basketball.
Wouldn't he get along better with him?
No wonder!
No wonder the moment he heard his song, he felt that he and Jiang Yan were quite compatible.
On the other side, Jiang Yan heard that Kobe was shocked by him and asked such a question. Naturally, he would not admit it.
So he pretended not to hear and greeted him warmly:
"Hey, Kobe, I finally see you." Jiang Yan looked up at Kobe with a bright smile.
Live, really Kobe!
And Kobe responded with a smile: "Hey, Joey, it's nice to see you, really."
The two looked at each other and smiled, as if they were old friends they hadn't seen for a long time. This moment was very magical.
But soon, Kobe himself broke this atmosphere.
His expression was very serious and he said: "You haven't answered me yet, are you also a professional player?"
"...Of course not." Jiang Yan denied with a smile.
"Kang Mang, you can't fool me. What you did just now is not something ordinary people can do."
Although he only saw the dunk just now and the previous dribbling, from these detailed actions, as a player who has played for more than ten years, he can tell at a glance what Jiang Yan's level is.
Maybe because he is a singer, he no longer has this career path, but it still cannot hide his strength.
So when Jiang Yan said he was not a professional, he only believed half of it.
And Jiang Yan also knows why Kobe is so persistent in thinking that he is a professional.
The purple skill "Wandering Clouds and Flowing Water" is no joke.
Isn't it simple to imitate professional players to dribble the ball and dunk the blue ball?
It can be said that with Jiang Yan's current athletic talent and body control ability, if he doesn't play movies or sing, he might be able to make a mark in the NBA.
Not only the NBA, but also other sports. If you work hard and practice for half a year, there is no problem in reaching the top in the world.
But that was not his intention after all, so he still wanted to explain.
Why explain?
Because he knew that Kobe was a training freak.
What if he pulls me into military training?
However, before he could speak, Quentin started to blow:
"My master knows how to... ahem, isn't playing basketball simple?"
From what Kobe said just now, he is as smart as Quentin, and now he knows how good Jiang Yan is at basketball.
So with Kung Fu, any exercise is simple. How can such a powerful master keep it for the New Year if he doesn’t show it off?
However, he finally remembered that the matter of kung fu was a top secret in the sect and could not be discussed casually, so he changed his mind on the spot.
However, this time directly detonated Kobe's fighting spirit.
Is playing ball easy?
OK!
Having common interests and being able to sweat together on the court is the best way to get along with friends!
Then his eyes lit up:
"Kang Mang, Joey, let's bullfight!"
Quentin: "You're gone!"
Kobe: "Really, we'll talk about it later!"
Quentin: "Just wait, Jiang will beat you up!"
Kobe: "That's great, hahaha..."
Jiang Yan said directly: "..."
...
Although Kobe Bryant is still the young Mamba, there is no doubt that Jiang Yan cannot beat him.
Therefore, during the nearly an hour of bullfighting, with a game of 21 points, Jiang Yan was completely defeated, and almost every game failed to exceed eight points.
And the eight points were only obtained after Jiang Yan finally adapted to Kobe's NBA-level defense and Kobe deliberately let go.
Jiang Yan: Don’t let the water go completely, this kind of emotional intelligence...
So in general it's bloody torture.
However, Quentin on the side looked calm.
Firstly, he knew that Kobe was an NBA player after all. Secondly, the master could achieve this without even using his real skills. If he had used it, Kobe might have become his junior brother today! But obviously, the master was not willing to accept him.
This apprentice was therefore kept in check and beaten.
However, Li Xiuxiu and others thought more simply.
This black guy named Kobe is a very good player and can beat his boss so much.
It's normal for them to have such naive ideas. After all, this was 1999, Yao Ming had not yet entered the NBA, and the NBA's influence in China was not great. In addition, Li Xiuxiu and others were not basketball fans, so for NBA-level players
Naturally, I don’t have a clear understanding of my strength.
And even if they know that the boss is going to open the NBA game tomorrow, they also know that the NBA is one of the three major sports in the United States, but their thoughts are more of a business understanding.
So at this time, they really have no concrete idea of how good Kobe is.
But they didn't know that Jiang Yan knew it completely now.
Although his current body is very abnormal, he still needs this bowl of rice after all.
Basketball does not rely solely on the body, but also on accurate shooting, as well as various skills and experience. Besides, Kobe's body is not necessarily any worse than Jiang Yan.
In short, never use your hobbies to challenge other people's careers. Jiang Yan thinks this is really a wise saying!
But he didn't feel much frustration either.
At the end of this hour, although Kobe was a little suspected of letting go, but after another hour of playing, he might be able to score 12 points.
If you get half of the 21 points and round them up, isn't this a 50-50 tie with Kobe?
Jiang Yan shook his head and laughed.
But to be honest, after an hour of high-intensity exercise, he also confirmed his guess, that is, if he really needs to train for half a year, he can indeed achieve results in the NBA.
Kobe had the same idea.
Who is Kobe? In the NBA, not only is he extremely talented, he is also considered to be the top group of people.
Moreover, he has played with a bunch of monsters in the NBA for more than two years, so he will naturally have a more accurate understanding of Jiang Yan's level.
First of all, Jiang Yan is not a professional. You will know this after playing a few balls.
But precisely because of this, he was shocked by what happened next.
He feels that Jiang Yan's talent is really abnormal, and he is very similar to Iverson.
He is also a small man, but he is extremely fast, similar to Iverson, and his shooting touch is very soft and his bounce is abnormal!
The power is also very strong!
He even felt stronger than himself, which made him very confused.
How could such a body as small as a bean sprout have such great strength?
In addition, Jiang Yan's learning ability is also very good. He quickly learned how to defend himself and copied it very well.
He quickly learned how to attack by himself, which also led to him scoring more and more points later in the game, and finally reached eight points!
Furthermore, Jiang Yan's physical fitness is also quite good.
And this is why Kobe can play with Jiang Yan for an hour in one breath.
An hour was a drizzle to him, but Jiang Yan still hasn't breathed much, which is really remarkable.
Of course, the most important thing is that Jiang Yan's attitude is very serious.
Every ball must be fought for, which really impressed him.
So overall, he was quite satisfied with Jiang Yan.
Although he is not a professional player, he sees his love for basketball.
Jiang Yan: I love yarn, I’m just experimenting! Also, Quentin, just wait!
"Wow, Joey, why don't you come to the NBA? I think you will become my biggest rival in a few years!"
At the end of the hour, Kobe enthusiastically suggested to Jiang Yan.
At this moment, he has fully recognized Jiang Yan not only in terms of singing, but also in terms of basketball talent and attitude.
"Opponent?" Jiang Yan took a sip of sports drink and started talking nonsense, "Why not a teammate?"
"...Yes!" Kobe's eyes lit up.
Jiang Yan smiled: "Don't think about it. I can't enter the NBA. I'm not an athlete."
"I can suggest to the team, but I dare not say anything else. It is okay to arrange an individual test for you." Kobe said with a smile, "Believe me, your data will definitely shock all NBA teams! Then Asia Ivor
When Sen comes out of nowhere, just wait for the team's olive branch!"
Jiang Yan knew as soon as he heard this that this guy was joking.
I didn't expect Mamba to actually joke, this is really rare.
However, neither of them took it seriously, but Quentin took it seriously, so he quickly advised:
"No, Jiang still wants to sing and make movies!"
"Who are you...Hey, are you Quentin?" Kobe finally recognized Quentin.
"Farke, I am a big Hollywood director after all, and you just recognized me now?"
"Haha, sorry, I was too focused on playing."
Quentin: Who the hell is this...
...
After a bullfight, Jiang Yan and Kobe became friends.
This was something Jiang Yan didn't expect at first. They thought today would be a more formal and awkward meeting.
But this is not bad. Friendship between men always comes out of nowhere.
It's like making a joke with Wu Jing because of drinking, and the next day he became an old man.
Of course, Jiang Yan and Kobe are generally not close friends, since they don’t have much in common.
But it’s also good to be a golfer.
Kobe Bryant's game is... not bad.
Jiang Yan covered his mouth and smiled.
After getting familiar with each other, the two of them plus Quentin started a formal chat.
Overall, Kobe is still quite curious about Jiang Yan.
He asked Jiang Yan why he stopped playing basketball and why he became a singer and screenwriter.
Of course, the most important thing is why you want to see him?
Jiang Yan naturally couldn't tell the truth, so he turned to bullshit mode again.
"Do you still remember your bad behavior during the finals?"
Kobe: "..."
"Everyone was laughing at you when you were a non-conformist. What you don't know is that everyone was also laughing at me."
Jiang Yan's face was not red, his heart was not beating, "At that time, I just suffered a big blow in my life..."
He had a tragic life experience, dropped out of school, and worked as a group performer. In short, he had no hope in life. He suffered extreme consequences and was looked down upon by others.
I can't even afford food, so I don't have to talk about hobbies like basketball.
This experience coincides with the time when Kobe stopped playing.
So Jiang Yan directly applied it: "Later I watched the NBA again and found that you who were laughed at at the beginning began to undergo earth-shaking changes and became stronger, so I was thinking, this idiot can do this, why can't I?
?”
Kobe burst out laughing when he heard this. He didn't feel that Jiang Yan offended him at all.
This also shows that people really regard Jiang Yan as a friend, and it also shows that he has already come out.
"So I started working hard and only slept four hours a day. I vowed that I would do something great!"
Jiang Yan looked at Kobe and continued: "Do you know Hengdian at four in the morning? Oh, in other words, do you know Los Angeles at four in the morning?"
When Kobe heard this, his pupils were shocked.
As if Jiang Yan didn't see his expression, he continued to talk about his experience: "Hengdian at four o'clock in the morning, the sky is full of stars, there are few lights, and there are very few pedestrians."
Speaking of this, Jiang Yan smiled, "I don't know exactly what it is. But it doesn't matter, don't you think? It's still dark at four o'clock in the morning in Hengdian every day, so I get up and walk on the dark streets of Hengdian.
One day has passed, and the darkness in Hengdian has not changed at all; two days have passed, and the darkness has still not changed at all; more than two years have passed, and the darkness at four o'clock in the morning in Hengdian streets has still not changed, but I have become a person who dominates the Chinese music scene.
, the movie’s box office record was broken, and people call him a genius.”
After saying that, Jiang Yan showed a free and easy smile: "This is why I want to see you."
In fact, my heart is screaming: Sheeping wool really can't stop the car!
However, Jiang Yan's words really shocked everyone present.
Li Xiuxiu, bodyguards, Quentin.
The Jiang Yan they usually see has a calm face, and at most he looks like a boy who occasionally laughs.
The reason why Jiang Yan is so good at screenwriting and songwriting is that he is indeed a rare genius.
Sometimes they even think that Jiang Yan's reason for doing group performances must be an excuse.
He is a genius. As long as you think about it for a moment, excellent works will appear. It's so easy.
But today, it was the first time that they knew that Jiang Yan's success was due to such hard work.
Of course, the most shocked person was Kobe.
In his heart at this moment, following the song and basketball, he has reached a high level of spiritual recognition.
This is a confidant!
He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but before he could speak, Jiang Yan said again:
"I know that my experience is not the only one, because you are the same, and it is indeed because of you that I become excellent, so Kobe, I want to thank you!"
You have to say something nice to someone else.
After hearing this, Kobe, who was not very good at expressing emotions, immediately stood up and said to Jiang Yan:
"Come on, no meat, let's fight for another hour, no, two hours!"
Jiang Yan smiled and said: "Why not tomorrow at four o'clock in the morning?"
Kobe laughed loudly when he heard this: "Okay, see you there or not!"
