'I'm very happy with the performance of our players and they did exactly what I needed them to do. Pat Riley spoke eloquently in the post-game press conference, as if he was a winner, and it was the Heat who won the game today, and there was no sign that he had been angry on the court.

"Mr. Riley, if the team is doing well, why did they lose?" The reporter of the Los Angeles Times did not open which pot to mention.

"Our team played well, but the Lakers played better, so we lost." Pat Riley is always an elegant face to the media, and the perfect answer makes the reporter unable to pick a thorn.

"Does this loss have anything to do with Kobe's 47 points? Bryant said he had never encountered such a lax defense in professional basketball. ”

Damn little bald head, Pat Riley secretly cursed Kobe Bryant in his heart, next time I must give you a good look.

"Of course it has something to do with Kobe, the outcome of the game is closely related to every player on the court, and Kobe's performance is great." Pat Riley shrewdly avoided the trap of reporters and was reluctant to talk too much about Kobe's defensive setup.

"May I ask Mr. Riley, will you continue to reuse pitchers as an option for forwards? There have already been plenty of pundits commenting on the Heat's forward defensive problems. ”

"Of course, I have my own ideas for employing people." Pat Riley is ready to finalize a deal with Mavericks Mashburn as he prepares to return to Miami, and he's had enough of Voshan Leonard. But in front of the media, of course, this news cannot be revealed, otherwise what will happen to the Maverick sitting on the ground.

A series of caustic questions made the battle-hardened Pat Riley feel physically and mentally exhausted, worthy of the vanity fair of Los Angeles, which made Pat Riley recall the situation in Los Angeles back then, no matter whether they won or lost, there will always be a large number of reporters and paparazzi pursuing news. Players with a bad mentality simply can't play well here.

It's the same in New York, but fortunately in Miami, there is finally less media. As a leisure and retirement mecca, compared to Los Angeles, which has many stars, and New York, the world's largest city, there is no comparison at all.

That's a good thing, if it weren't for the ease of Miami. Pat Riley also has no way to hold the two positions of president and head coach of the team at the same time, and it can be said that Pat Riley is at the helm of Miami.

And in Los Angeles, even Jerry West has to face all kinds of people who want to fight for power, including the children of the boss, Dr. Bass.

What can Jerry West do to them? After all, they are the boss's own children. Jerry West was always an outsider to Bass. That's one of the reasons why Pat Riley left Los Angeles, and he was never able to be the flag of the team.

"Old man, why don't you go to the bar for a drink?" Harris has had an easy time, the Lakers have far exceeded all expectations, and he has spent the season touted by the media.

The coach's task has also been taken away a lot by Koby, and with a brain on the field, it is really easy to be a coach!

"Why not?" Pat Riley touched his back, game to game, life to life.

"Call Jerry?"

"Call Jerry!"

Three big guys who stomp their feet and stomp on the American professional basketball team, but like a few ordinary old men, go to an old-fashioned bar together, ready to talk all night.

Such an opportunity to talk freely with friends is rare for them in a high position.

The higher you climb, the colder the wind gets.

At the same time, in the Lakers locker room, O'Neal was sulking, although the team won, but he only scored 8 points, 12 rebounds and 5 blocks in this game under the attack of PJ Brown and Mourning. It seems good, but for O'Neal, who considers himself the league's No. 1 center, this is a statistic and performance that makes him doubly ashamed.

Although Mourning was suppressed even worse by O'Neal, he shot 2 of 9 and scored 5 points, 8 rebounds and 3 blocks. Four of O'Neal's five blocks were for Mourning, but Shaq was still not happy to be a spectator in the win.

Bryant didn't have to look to know that Shaq was sulking. Although O'Neill likes to be lazy, he still has a strong desire to win and express himself. It was a big blow for him to be locked up by Mourning and PJ Brown on the Lakers' home court today, and this game was O'Neal's new season scoring low.

"Shaq, in the next game, do you dare to compete with me to score higher points?" Bryant knew that the agitation method was best for O'Neal.

O'Neal looked up, glanced at Kobe Bryant, who pretended to be disdainful, and laughed.

"Then you're going to lose! I want you to see the power of the big diesel engine! ”

"We'll see! Lots of money? ”

"Good! Kobe Bryant, you haven't bought a car yet, have you? I'll give you one if you lose! ”

"This is a bit of a big bet, why don't you give me 100 pairs of signed sneakers if you lose."

"One Hundred Pairs!!??? Do you want me to sit at home and sign for a day? ”

"Don't dare?"

"Okay! I'll win and wait for your sneakers to come out, give me 100 pairs too! Autographed! ”

"I'm not going to lose."

"Heh, you're going to lose."

Kobe Bryant looked at the rejuvenated O'Neal, and secretly said that the young O'Neill was so innocent. How did he become the big fat man who came to be slick?

As a point guard, I don't pass you the ball, how do you score?

Yes, that's right. Shaq was fooled again.

After this game on January 10, the Lakers have a few days of respite and will not have a home game against the Vancouver Grizzlies until January 14. Thinking of the Grizzlies in the next game, facing the firepower of O'Neal and himself, Kobe Bryant couldn't help but mourn for them for 3 seconds.

The game against the Trail Blazers on January 16 is something that Kobe Bryant attaches great importance to and must win. Losing to the Trail Blazers before, Kobe Bryant felt very dissatisfied, this home game, Kobe Bryant must be ashamed!

Jan. 18 against the second-place Pistons in the East.

Grant Hill has no solution this season, but fortunately, the Pistons' personnel allocation is limited, and the depth of the roster is still far from the top powerhouse. Of course, the premise for the Lakers to win is that Bowen does not collapse and can not let Grant Hill blow up on the premise of single defense.

Kobe Bryant kept wondering if Bowen's superstar phobia was better? It stands to reason that Bowen has been defending a lot of All-Star level outside lines very well recently, and has the pinnacle of 9 percent defensive skills, but superstar? Bowen really hasn't coped lately.

The regular season is okay, and it would be hilarious if Bowen dropped the chain in the face of a superstar in the playoffs. Kobe Bryant can't always play a game, lock up the opponent's arrowhead, and play an inexplicable performance on the offensive end, right? It's too hard.

These are the next three games that the Lakers will face, and the team is still very strong. Bryant planned to take advantage of the rest of the past few days to watch their recent footage, and of course, Bryant did not forget about Jack Nelson's birthday party.

Jack Nelson has been friends with Kobe Bryant for many years in his last life, and Kobe knows that he is a Hollywood superstar who is very moral, loves basketball very much, and can be called the banner of Lakers fans.

For a birthday party, you must bring a gift. Although Jack Nelson doesn't care about the quality of Kobe's gifts, Kobe Bryant can't be shabby, after all, he needs to brush his face in front of Hollywood stars to prepare for the future film and television industry.
