Chapter 213: Kobe Bryant and Li Du

Li Du said this as soon as he came up, which made Kobe a little embarrassed, he smiled and said: "Li, don't think about it, I don't have any suspicions about you, and who is the boss of the Lakers, this is not for those reporters to decide." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info but your progress is really great, how does it feel to be in charge of the team by yourself? ”

"Not good!" Li Du sighed, "Boss, I'm starting to feel the pressure on you now. The whole team wins and loses, and the mental is more tired than the body! ”

Kobe Bryant smiled: "Actually, you don't have to think about it so much, it's better to enjoy the game as before." ”

Hung up the phone, Li Du was a little unhappy, although Kobe didn't say anything on the phone, but he was not stupid, of course he knew what Kobe Bryant was calling for. In fact, he really didn't mean to snatch the Lakers boss, and he couldn't grab it. But from now on, Kobe Bryant is starting to be a little suspicious of him.

A lot of things are like this, I didn't do anything, but everyone said so, and the fake became true. Regardless of whether Li Du has the intention of robbing the Lakers boss, as long as Kobe Bryant is uncomfortable, he will be sad in the Lakers!

Depressed, Li Du completely vented his bad mood in the game, which led to his statistics being even more terrifying! In the first 10 games of the regular season, Li Du, who has absolute possession of the ball, actually played an average of 43.7 points, 10.4 rebounds and 11.2 assists per game!

The last person who could average a triple-double per game in the first 10 games has to go back to the "NBA antiquity", the "ancient beast" Oscar Robertson, who averaged a triple-double per game throughout the season. This is something that even the basketball god Michael Jordan has not been able to do!

Originally, according to the normal rules of the game, while Li Du got such a high data, it also meant that the data of other players in the Lakers team would drop sharply, after all, a team's main data such as average points, rebounds, and assists per game in a game have a relatively fixed value.

But unexpectedly, under the leadership of Li Du, the Lakers scored an average of 118.3 points per game, suppressing the opponent's score at 103.6 points, that is, they outscored their opponents by as many as 15 points per game! On top of that, the stats of the Lakers' other major players are also very beautiful.

Gasol is averaging 15.3 points, 10.3 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game, while Odom is also averaging 11.6 points, 6.1 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game. The only one who has dropped is Bynum, who is now averaging just 6.7 points and 3.2 rebounds per game, and has almost been reduced to a blue-collar interior liner.

In fact, this has a lot to do with the Lakers' change in playing style after Li Du mastered the Lakers. Ever since Li Du began to emulate Kidd's style of play, stealing rebounds and then attacking directly from him, the Lakers now have a lot of fast-break scoring every game.

Li Du himself is extremely fast, and he often even rushes to the opponent's basket to dunk and score when the opponent has not had time to return to defense. On the Lakers' side, the only people who can barely keep up with Li Du's offensive rhythm are Odom and Gasol, except for a few small players. Bynum's almost fundamental offense and defensive tempo in the fast break is equivalent to being scrapped, and he only has a chance to show his skills when the Lakers fall into the ground to attack.

What Li Du didn't expect was that his strong performance made Kobe even more uncomfortable!

As the boss of the team, Kobe Bryant is not only responsible for the team's victory or defeat, but also worried about the impact on his leadership position.

For Li Du, Kobe Bryant is relieved, he believes that Li Du is just following his own orders and trying to lead the Lakers to win in his way, as long as he comes back, Li Du will be the obedient, hard-working, and maintenance of his little brother.

But since Kobe Bryant's injury and Li Du mastered the Lakers' possession, he is like a sleepy dragon ascending to heaven, and all statistics have rocketed. If after Kobe Bryant's comeback, Li Du returns to his former state of play, then what will others think? What will journalists say? What will the fans think?

What's more, although Kobe Bryant is still in his prime, Li Du is younger, and seems to have more potential and more power than Kobe. Kobe Bryant never believed in the so-called loyalty, he knew that the NBA is a business field, and all operations are for business and to make money! The reason why he was able to squeeze out the big shark O'Neill back then was not because he was stronger than O'Neal, but because he had more commercial value than O'Neill!

Kobe Bryant can squeeze out O'Neal, and naturally someone will squeeze him out! Originally, Kobe Bryant didn't have to worry about this, no matter how much Li Du progressed and how he performed outstandingly, there was still a big gap compared with his commercial value. In Kobe's original plan, he was ready for 7 to 8 years to let Li Du fully grow, after all, the growth of guards is much slower than that of interior players, and at that time, Kobe Bryant can almost retire, he insisted on one or two seasons, slowly helped Li Du to the position, and sat firmly in the position of the team boss, and he also retired.

But Li Du's growth rate is far beyond everyone's imagination, and it is also beyond the imagination of Kobe, who thinks he knows Li Du best, in just over two seasons, Li Du has grown into an absolute potential superstar, and can be the absolute core of a strong team!

This makes Kobe Bryant have to think about how he and Li Du should get along in the future? It is impossible to bury Li Du's talent, and it is also something that the team and fans do not want to see. But if Li Du continues to be so strong, sooner or later there will be a gap between Li Du and Kobe!

Considering all kinds of problems, Kobe Bryant made the decision to make an early comeback!

"What? Kobe, are you going to make an early comeback? After the Zen master received Kobe's call, he was very surprised at first, but how smart he was, and under the turn of his mind, he immediately understood Kobe's thoughts, so he was silent for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, Kobe." If you're all right, come back and find the feeling of the game first. ”

After hanging up the phone, the Zen master walked to the door of the office of Lakers general manager Kupchak alone, hesitated for a long time, and finally pushed the door and walked in, and said to Kupchak, who also looked sad: "Mitch, it seems that we have to prepare early!" Between Kobe Bryant and Li Du, a choice must be made! ”

The Zen master's words made Kupchak sigh heavily and ask, "Phil, have we really reached the point where we have to choose?" Everyone can see that Lee respects Kobe very much, and as long as Kobe is willing, Lee will not threaten Kobe! ”

With a wry smile, the Zen master said, "It's not up to the two of them to decide the relationship!" I didn't expect Lee to grow so fast! For basketball, he is a peerless genius, and I am afraid that compared to Michael, he will not be inferior! ”

Kupchak sighed, thought for a long time, and finally shook his head: "Wait and see, we have a very good chance of defending the title this season!" ”
