Meet the rural basketball boy rising from the mountainous Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture: Guguluojiazi, who is now 13 years old, and plays for the local Blackhawks basketball team. Inspired by the late superstar Kobe Bryant, Guguluojiazi is well-rounded in basketball skills and eager to be the best, which has earned him the name "Kobe-re," in the Yi ethnic language Kobe boy. Encouraged by his coach, he wasn't put off by the fact that he is less than 1.5 meters tall and inspired by his admiration for Kobe Bryant to train even harder. His coach Waeramu said, he has become an absolute key player and a leader in the team. His biggest wish now is to grow to between 1.8 and 1.9 meters tall and become a professional player.
