04 joined the school team
In 1992, Barcelona, the FIBA allowed professional athletes to participate in Olympic basketball games for the first time, so a generation of NBA stars such as Michael Jordan and Larry Bird also had the first chance Appearing in the Olympic Games, they averaged a margin of 44 points per game and won the Barcelona Olympic champion. That session of the US national team was the "Dream One" team that people talked about later. They opened a new era of basketball.
In the summer of of the same year, the Kobe family returned to Philadelphia. Joe accepted his alma mater La Salle University (La Salle University) offered him a job as a basketball team assistant, and then bought it on Ardmore Street, 10 miles outside Philadelphia. house. Kobe looked at the familiar scenery in his hometown, and his mood was very complicated.
The scenery in front of you has changed, but things on the basketball court will not change. Bryant was still one of the best players in the basketball summer camp that year. After that, he entered Philadelphia's local Raul Merion High School (Lower Merion High School) to attend school and joined the school basketball team. However, because of the long-term life in Italy, Kobe and his classmates are difficult to socialize, so he always spends his time on the basketball court, because basketball has always been his good friend and never left him.
In the school basketball team, Kobe is always the most diligent one. Because he has received rigorous training, he has much better physical fitness than other players, and he is particularly prominent on the court. Kobe's performance quickly attracted the attention of school team coach Greg Downer. There is a story that goes like this. One afternoon, when his teammates returned home from training, Kobe remained alone on the court and continued to practice dribbling and layups. Coach Donner saw this scene and decided to go one-on-one with him. Only ten minutes later, the coach gave up playing against him. "I admit that I can't beat him, he is like a devil." Donald said of , "It is basically impossible to defend him one-on-one. I have never seen such an outstanding high school student." and the coach bullfight. After that, Kobe became the team's main starting force, he was the first high school freshman to serve as a starter on the school team in decades.
05 In the first year of Kobe’s entry into the school team, the team only achieved a record of 4 wins and 20 losses in the divisional league.Can enter the playoffs. However, Kobe, the team's smallest player, averaged 18 points per game, which made Coach Downer very pleased. " his determination to win and the hard work of training are beyond my imagination ." Donner sighed, "other kids at this age are either addicted to video games or want to make a girlfriend, but Kobe only has basketball." He decided to build the school team around Kobe.
In the last three seasons when Kobe played for the team, the school team had an excellent record of 77 wins and 13 losses. In the second year of high school, the team's winning percentage increased to 60% and entered the statewide high school league. In the history of the Philadelphia high school league, no one has done it except for Wilt Chamberlain in the 1950s. In the third year, Bryant averaged 31.1 points, 10.4 rebounds and 5.2 assists for the team, and was elected the Pennsylvania Player of the Year. In the last year, Bryant averaged 30.8 points, 12 rebounds, 6.5 assists, 4 steals, and 3.8 blocks per game. He led the team to a record of 31 wins and 3 losses in the 4A league and beat all high schools in Philadelphia. The team has beaten it all over. Among them, on May 28, 1996, after a hard fight on the stage of the finals, they defeated their opponent 47-43 and won the Pennsylvania High School League Championship for the first time in 50 years. Bryant himself also won the Naismith Award (Naismith) and Gatorade High School Player of the Year and McDonald's first team member honors.
Four-year school team career, Bryant fixed his scoring at 2883 points , he became the first person to score in Pennsylvania high school history. The previous record was 2,359 points, which was set by the basketball giant Wilt Chamberlain 40 years ago.

Life outside of basketball is not easy. As a student whose grades have always been B, Kobe strives to find common ground with his classmates. In Europe, Kobe can enjoy a peaceful life without having to face the pressure that American teenagers need to face. In order to get used to life in the United States as soon as possible, Kobe has entered a crash course.
Because he did not achieve any good results in the first year of the school team, Bryant started a crazy and comprehensive self-training during the summer vacation. He insists on running in the morning, skipping rope, and lifting weights every day. He also installs a 3.2-meter-high basket in the backyard of his home and secretly practices dunking . In addition, his father's guidance also broadened his field of vision. He also has the opportunity to watch the Philadelphia 76ers game with his father. On the sidelines, the old 76ers fans told Kobe: "Your father was really amazing!" Kobe was happy, "Hey, I will be better than him in the future." Then, he will return to the court vigorously. Go up and start the "cruel training" for several hours that even adults shake their heads when they watch.
Kobe's training in the summer vacation of the sophomore year was even crazier and almost masochistic. He took advantage of his father's teaching at La Salle University to play with young people who had just entered college. During training, Kobe never took his father's car to the arena for training. He drove to the La Salle University Arena in downtown Philadelphia for an hour on a bicycle at 8 o'clock every morning, and then immediately began training. From 9 in the morning to 9 in the evening, he ran on the field non-stop. He was really tired and hungry before stopping to drink and eat a hamburger. In regular training time, Kobe worked harder than other players. The others have gone home to rest, and he is still practicing long shots and passing. In the first two days, when his father left the arena in the afternoon, he wanted to take Kobe home with him, but then he gave up this plan. "My son is a workaholic. Unless you yell at him, you can't stop him from training."

Kobe did not consider injury or fatigue. He could find him on the court. In the most pleasant mood, it is impossible for him to stop training. Since then, there has been a tireless "court mouse" in the Lassali Arena. When the old man watching the arena comes home from get off work at night, he only needs to whistle three times to Kobe from a distance, and Kobe will carefully extinguish all lights and lock the door after training. The key was naturally in Kobe's hand, and he was the first to open the door the next day. By the time the school started in September, Coach Downer was "feared" by Kobe's progress.
As a result of winning the State Player of the Year in the third year, colleges and universities across the country began to throw an olive branch to Kobe, but his first choice is Duke University. But when the Chicago boy Kevin Garnett (Kevin Garnett) entered the NBA draft in June 1995 and was selected with the fifth overall pick in the first round, Bryant began to seriously consider whether to enter the NBA directly. Before he made a decision, happened to have a heads-up with Jerry Stackhouse, who was playing for the 76ers at the time. The latter was a draft pick in 1995 and was selected for the year. The best rookie lineup. Stackhouse still had the advantage at first. After all, he is superior in age, strength and experience, but when he hits, Stackhouse feels wrong. It is like lightning to defend one-on-one. It's impossible for a guy to be as fast. But Kobe's defense of Stackhouse was very successful. He could always see through Stackhouse's intentions ahead of time and get stuck first. competed for 13 rounds, and Kobe won 8 to 5.
Although all parties have praised and criticized Kobe's idea of jumping directly into the NBA, Kobe finally made his own decision (firm belief). On April 28, 1996, at a press conference held at Lauer Merrion High School Gymnasium, Kobe announced his choice: "After a long period of consideration and listening to the opinions of many people, I decided to share my talents …" At this point, he deliberately stopped, lowered his head and smiled, as if he hadn't made up his mind yet. A few seconds later, Kobe continued: "Yes, I have decided to skip the college link and bring my talents directly into the NBA."
