Chapter 102 Jiangbei or James

The other people on the sidelines were also very surprised when they saw Jiang Bei's actions. This was not the same as when they were in the game.

Jiang Bei didn't make any warm-up shots. He just moved around a little before. He didn't even make a mid-range shot in the game, except for layups and dunks. This time, he directly shot a super long three-pointer, which was indeed beyond everyone's expectations.

Jiangbei didn't care about this, and was even ready to shoot the ball. Unexpectedly, Cook didn't defend at all. In this case, Jiangbei had nothing to hesitate. He raised his knife and dropped the basketball into the net.

"Damn, does this kid feel so good?" Quinn Cook secretly surprised.

In the transition between offense and defense, Quinn Cook wanted to get back a three-pointer, but his touch was not good, and Jiang Bei quickly took the rebound.

Jiang Bei took the ball out of the three-point line, and Taron Horton and Cook immediately put up defenses. They dare not relax in the slightest now. If they don't pay attention, they will be passed by Jiang Bei to complete the score.

Facing the double-teaming of the two, Jiangbei didn't have time to adjust. As soon as he got out of the three-point line, he turned around and hit the inside. Taron Horton and Cook followed Jiangbei closely, not giving Jiangbei room to shoot.

Breaking through near the free throw line, a "little Buddha" from Jiangbei, after opening up the space, made an emergency stop and shot a fallback jumper. Cook and Taron Horton also immediately jumped to block the shot after reacting.

The big hands of the two came over, completely blocking Jiang Bei's sight. Jiang Bei in the air leaned back again, almost lying flat and throwing the ball.

The basketball hit the neck of the basket, jumped twice and finally fell into the basket.

After Jiang Bei threw the ball, he fell to the ground with his hands still in the shooting position.

Seeing the basketball fall into the basket, Taron Horton was a little unbelievable. The ball was about to be sealed in Jiangbei's face, but he was still able to make it, which was really unreasonable.

But soon Taron Horton came back to his senses and pulled Jiang Bei up with Cook.

Their defense was in place for this shot, and Jiang Bei was still able to make the shot, leaving them speechless. Thinking differently, if it was themselves, they would not be able to do this step. So from this moment on, they no longer regarded Jiang Bei as a high school student, but as a player at least at the same level as themselves.

There was almost no suspense in the next game. Jiang Bei won the game smoothly. Frank was also very satisfied with Jiang Bei's performance and asked Jiang Bei to rest for a while while he went to report the situation to Pelinka.

"Hey, Jiangbei, you have great potential, and I hope we can become teammates!" James came over to greet Jiangbei with a friendly expression.

"Hello, little emperor, you have a lot of fans in China!" Jiang Bei responded politely, indifferently.

"Oh? Aren't you my fan?" James seemed dissatisfied with Jiang Bei's answer, and asked straightforwardly.

Jiang Bei pointed to the No. 8 and No. 24 jerseys hanging above the arena and said, "My idol is him! The king of Los Angeles!"

"It's a pity, but Kobe is indeed worthy of our respect. He is a great player!" Although James politely expressed his regret, he was not very happy to see his expression. After all, he is now the boss of the Los Angeles Lakers. It is inevitable that he would feel a little unhappy when he was told that Kobe is the king of Los Angeles.

For so many years, Los Angeles has been pursuing the championship and the championship puzzle, but there is always only one king of them and that is Kobe Bryant, the black mamba who has made great contributions to the Lakers.

Jiang Bei couldn't tell what he was thinking, but if he said this sentence suddenly, he must have offended James!

But Jiangbei doesn’t regret it, because he’s telling the truth. Although there will be many super giants who will come to the Lakers to fight for the Zijin dynasty, only a player who is born and bred like Kobe and reaches the height of Kobe can be qualified to become the new king of Los Angeles. Like James, who changes teams at will for the championship.

On the other side, Frank came to Pelinka's office again. At this time, Pelinka was still looking at the computer. When he saw Frank coming in, he immediately said, "I watched Jiangbei's trial training. He performed very well. He is a player with great potential. How does he compare to James?"

Frank didn't know why Pelinka asked this question. He thought for a while and said, "Jiangbei is certainly not comparable to LeBron, but Jiangbei has greater potential, and he is a player with a big heart. Judging from the World Youth Championship, he has a strong ability to finish key shots."

Pelinka heard Frank's words and asked again: "If James and Jiangbei could only choose one, who would you choose?"

Frank thought for a long time, "I still choose LeBron!"

Seeming to see Pelinka's question, Frank continued to explain: "After all, we just won the championship last season. The fans are also very satisfied with our current lineup and have great hopes. If we give up James and choose Jiangbei, it is equivalent to rebuilding the team and giving up the championship. After all, we are not fully sure how far Jiangbei can go. Even if we agree, the fans will not agree!"

Pelinka nodded in agreement after listening to Frank's words, and Frank asked curiously: "Why do you have such an idea, wouldn't it be better for the two of them to be together?"

Pelinka said helplessly: "I'm afraid the two of them don't want to. We all know that Jiangbei is called Little Kobe, and his idol is also Kobe, but we didn't expect this kid to worship Kobe to such an extent!"

"Isn't this a good thing? It shows that he has a great sense of belonging to our Lakers." Frank asked suspiciously.

"However, on the way you came here, Jiang Bei said something like this to James, which probably meant that he only recognized Kobe as the king of the Lakers, but not James. How does this make them get along?"

Hearing Pelinka's explanation, Frank was also very helpless. One was the boss of the team who had just won the championship, and the other was a rookie with unlimited potential in the future. It was really difficult to choose, and Frank didn't know what to do.

"Let's wait and see. Anyway, Jiangbei's participation in the draft is next season. Let's talk about it then!" Pelinka had no choice but to say so.
