Chapter 33: Lakers Locker Room Tour
The first half is over, the Lakers 57:51! Leading the Wizards by 6 points, Bryant scored 18 points.
As the players returned to their dressing rooms, the coach needed to comment on their performance in the first half and how to respond in the second half.
Lakers coach Byron Scott, although only for the transition with the Lakers, has also done a lot for the Lakers.
The dressing room is not something that anyone can get into, although the dressing room is a symbol of a team's culture
In 2000, the NBA also allowed cameras to be installed in locker rooms so that spectators could see the stars off the court at halftime. In addition, autographs are strictly forbidden in the locker room, and journalists are strictly forbidden to use their work to ask for autographs.
"Oh my God, didn't you know that autographs are not allowed in the locker room? How could you get in now! "Vir pulled Axy, who wanted to go forward, and he also wanted to go. But that can't get in, it's really painful.
Now everyone was stunned, it turns out that there is such a rule, what should I do?
"I have a solution, but I don't know if it will work." Li Qian touched his chin, thought for a while, and said, "We can say which university we are reporters!" All the students wanted us to interview Kobe. So here we are, and I'm pretending to be pathetic, maybe I can go in! ”
Stephen suddenly realized and said, "You can try, let's go!" ”
After saying that, everyone hurried to the players' tunnel, they were all very excited and wanted to talk to their idols up close. And Li Qian wanted to talk to Kobe Russell.
They soon came to the locker room door, which was full of staff, and it was very difficult to get in, so Axey walked over and said to a staff member: "We're from Georgetown University, we're journalists, and all of us students want to get the latest news from Kobe, and we want to be able to get in!" He was obviously a little excited, revealing a temperament that was not in line with what a journalist should be.
"Be accommodating, Kobe Bryant is coming to Washington for the last time to play, give us a chance." Stephen also helped.
"This is a rare opportunity and it will never be again!" Will chimed in.
The staff frowned, looking a little embarrassed, it was still time for the coach to tell the story of the first half, and they could not be allowed to enter.
"Oh, I'm sorry, you can't go in, I know you're anxious, but it's the rule." The worker spreads out his hands to indicate that he can't call the shots.
"Let's interview Kobe! We really want him to give me this chance, can you bring our words to him? Asik still didn't give up, thinking it would be better to ask them to convey it to Kobe.
"Just once, how about two minutes?" Li Qian also wanted to go in and see what the NBA's locker room was like, as well as the players who were about to retire and the rising star Russell.
"Okay, okay, I'll go over and ask, you're so persistent." The staff reluctantly walked away and opened the door to the locker room.
"Hey, there's a chance!" Asik was so excited that the smile on his face was about to fall to the ground.
"Hopefully Kobe Bryant will be able to meet us." Will said calmly.
They waited anxiously for fear of bringing back bad news, everyone's hearts were in their throats, and two minutes passed, and the staff walked out of the locker room.
He shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands helplessly, with an expression on his face that I can't help you.
"Ou, is it in the soup?" Axy asked Li Qian in a low voice, and Li Qian shrugged, indicating that he was not very clear.
When the staff walked up to them, they suddenly showed a smile and said, "You guys are very lucky, Kobe Bryant agreed to see you, come in guys, enjoy this time." ”
After hearing this, they all jumped up excitedly, and Kobe agreed!
At this time, the door of the locker room was opened, revealing a tall figure, and if you look closely, it is Kobe!
Kobe smiled and said, "You bold guys are looking for me?" Then come in quickly! ”
"See, Kobe Bryant gave us a warm invitation, I was dreaming." Axy couldn't hold back the joy in his heart and said to the person beside him.
They rushed up and into the dressing room, where the players were all sitting on their benches and the coach's stuff was over.
When the Lakers saw this group of people enter the locker room, they couldn't help but be a little stunned, isn't it just a college student reporter, it doesn't look like it at first glance, it should be a college athlete.
In fact, the staff had already seen that they were dressed in sportswear and did not bring notepads and pens, but their enthusiasm touched Kobe Bryant, and this was the rare opportunity to get it.
"It's nice to meet you, I heard that you want to see me, and you're so crazy, and I want to see what kind of people you are." Kobe Bryant said to them with a smile.
"You know what? I like you so much, really, I've watched all of your games! Aksi was the first to speak, excited.
"Oh. Thank you, I think I should sit for you something, but autographs are prohibited in the locker room, though, I have a special pair of socks, are you interested? Bryant saw that Axy liked him so much, but he didn't sign it, so he walked to his cabinet, took a pair of socks, and handed them to Axey.
"I can't help anymore!" Axy jumped several times with his socks in hand.
Li Qian walked up to Russell's side and greeted, "Hi, Russell, I'm optimistic about you." ”
Russell was stunned, thinking that he was all coming in to see Kobe Bryant's sudden appearance of a yellow-skinned person to talk to him, and he felt a little different, and replied: "Thank you, thank you for looking at me so well." ”
"I hope that in the future, I can fight side by side with you, or be an enemy for the rest of my life." Li Qian suddenly came out with this sentence, which caught Russell a little off guard, and the yellow skin in front of him actually said this.
"I'm looking forward to it." Russell had never heard of this guy at all, and he was able to get into the NBA? It was a little difficult to understand, but out of politeness, I had to answer casually.
"I know you don't know yet, but next year's March Madness, I think you'll know about me." Li Qian also knew that he was not famous now, so he added this sentence.
Russell began to wonder about the yellow-skinned Chinese next to him and said, "Ou? Hope it is as you wish. ”
"Uh-huh, I hope I can fulfill what I just said." Li Qian looked at Russell with a smile.
The staff came in and told them that it was time and it was time for the players to rest.
Everyone saw the players they wanted to see. happily left the Lakers locker room and returned to his seat.
