Chapter 291: Kobe's Promise
Russell is already very old, but this makes him look at Shi Lei's eyes more kindly, just like an old grandfather looking at his grandson. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Thank you."
Shi Lei smiled and hugged Russell. Russell, who wears a hat of the same color as the Celtics jersey and a suit, looks a little funny, but Shi Lei does not dare to have the slightest disrespect for this Celtic legend, this is an old man worthy of worship, at least for all Celtics.
The exchange with the legend was so short and hasty, the jubilant Celtics players returned to the locker room from the court one after another, and before lifting the championship trophy, they had to wash off the sweat and fatigue on their bodies, and of course, celebrate!
Compared to in the locker room, their celebration on the pitch was too subtle!
Garnett, who rushed back to the locker room first, opened the champagne representing victory, and every latecomer was attacked by him enthusiastically, and soon, the locker room fell into a scuffle.
The players are laughing, roaring, shouting, and they are crazy because they are the winners!
However, in the home team's locker room not far away, there was a dead silence, and when these cheers came in, it was even more gloomy!
Kobe's face was like a few layers of frost, but there was fire in his eyes!
No one spoke here, everyone silently took off their sweaty clothes, and then silently walked into the shower room.
Soon, Kobe Bryant was the only one left here, still standing in front of his closet, glaring at the cook's clothes.
The locker room was gently opened again, Phil. Jackson walked in, there was nothing else on his face about this defeat, he had experienced enough victories and enough defeats, which made him know that no matter how it ends, the more important thing is always later!
He's here for the future!
"Why didn't you take a shower?"
This is nonsense, Kobe Bryant is like a stubborn child who does not give any reaction.
"Sad, isn't it? Feeling powerless? Feeling unbelievable? ”
Kobe Bryant finally turned his head, and in his cold eyes, facing his coach, he didn't exude much kindness, and his tone was even more unkind: "What? You want to say it's all my fault, right? Am I being too selfish to listen to your arrangement? I don't mind! ”
This is not willful, but character, even if he failed, Kobe Bryant did not intend to put the blame on anyone, he believes that the most fundamental reason for failure is that he is not strong enough!
On Kobe's character, Phil. Jackson knew incomparably well, of course, that he didn't obey his own tactics, Phil. Jackson was not without resentment, so instead of answering the question head-on, he continued to ask, "How many years did Jordan enter the NBA before he got his first championship ring?" ”
After asking, Phil. Jackson didn't wait for Kobe Bryant's answer, and then said: "We all know the answer to this question, but how many people noticed what Pippen's stats were that year?" Have you noticed, Bryant? ”
Kobe frowned: "What do you want to say?" ”
"I want to say you need a helper!"
"Helper?"
A figure flashed through Kobe's mind, but is this possible?
"Yes, helper! I found your Scott. Pippen, if he can come to the Lakers, I think you'll be able to do what you want to do the most! ”
Kobe Bryant's Scott. Pippen? Phil. Jackson didn't actually position himself like this, but with Kobe Bryant's nod, everything would be a lot easier.
At the Lakers, the most important thing is internal friction, not only between players, but also between management, who seem to be keen on such battles.
"Who?"
In fact, at this time, Kobe Bryant already knew the answer, he knew who that person was, because he also had the same feeling as him!
That's his Scott. Pippen!
Phil. Jackson looked at Kobe Bryant with blazing eyes: "Celtic's No. 11!" ”
"Can you trade?"
Kobe Bryant felt his shortness of breath, it was a young man who had the same persistence as him, every time he saw him, Kobe seemed to be able to see his past self from him, although they were not the same, but the pursuit of victory was no different.
"Perhaps, but at a great cost!"
There's never a player who can't be traded, only a price that you don't want to pay, Phil. Jackson can't decide everything about the Lakers, but he and Kobe Bryant can definitely make the Lakers succumb. If this trade goes through, the price will be too great, and he needs Kobe's strength.
"Whatever it takes!"
That's Kobe Bryant's answer, and that's Phil. The answer Jackson would most like to hear.
"Also, you need to give him respect and give him the ball!"
"There's no problem, just he's here, he can do whatever he wants!"
Kobe Bryant remembered Shi Lei's words again: "Now the team is Paul's"! I also understood what he didn't say: "The team will be mine in the future!" ”
This is not an impatient young man, he is more patient than himself, Kobe needs this kind of patience, when he accomplishes his goal, Kobe is willing to hand over the team to him and give him the help he wants, just like he helped Pierce and wants to get Pierce's help in the future!
"Are you sure?"
"I promise!"
From the moment they entered the locker room, the Celtic celebrations continued to the shower room, where no one was honestly showering at all, but splashing water from the taps on their companions, cheering, laughing, and waiting, and finally, they waited for the urging of the staff.
The award ceremony is ready!
The Lakers' arena is packed with reporters from all over the world, making it a place full of flashing lights all the time.
The big and small stars here tried their best to behave elegantly and smile perfectly, but when the Celtics players came out of the tunnel again, these stars, no matter how famous they were, still didn't hold any shots in front of them.
Today, no matter who comes, they can't share the glory of the Celts. Any tiny role among them is the protagonist of journalists' interviews today.
At this time, Shi Lei finally couldn't keep his composure, the bright trophy not far in front of him made him forget to maintain his image, he smiled wantonly, looking greedily, that is the best recognition for him and their season! (To be continued.) )
