Gan Guoyang was once again hit by a bullet he had fired in the past.
In 1993, at a high school game of Kobe's, Gan Guoyang was present to watch.
Kobe scored 47 points, grabbed 14 rebounds, and had 11 assists, but his team at Lower Merion High School still lost the game.
After the game, Gan Guoyang asked Kobe if he knew what he did wrong in the game.
Kobe said maybe he was too selfish, not passing the ball, that he wasn't a good team player.
At the time, Gan Guoyang shook his head, saying it wasn't that he was too selfish, but that he didn't score enough.
"If you had scored 60 points today, wouldn't you have won?"
This sentence, even now, nearly seven years later, remains fresh in Kobe's memory.
To a certain extent, this sentence shaped Kobe; no matter what kind of basketball education and training he later received, he always believed he could change the team's fate and achieve victory on the court through his own efforts.
