Chapter 180: After the game
"Well, I lost, it was a good game." Frustrated, Grant Hill was blocked by reporters at the locker room door.
"At the last minute, I thought I had gotten rid of Kobe, so I made a low-handed layup. If I had chosen to dunk, maybe it would have turned out differently. ”
"Bryant's offense and defense are fantastic, and his teammates are fantastic, giving him plenty of fitness to step up in crunch time."
"It's 40+ in a row??? I didn't pay attention to this, and if it's true, then I witnessed history. Grant Hill said with some sourness, and then left.
His back was a little bleak, and a reporter captured this picture.
And at the door of the Lakers' locker room, more reporters are blocked outside.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way! Stay away! Instead of waiting for Kobe, they pushed the door open with a burly, vicious exploding head.
Ben Wallace!
After the last interview with Kobe, Kobe Bryant said to Big Ben that he would go together in the future.
He was tired of these small media that had nothing to do, and Kobe Bryant asked Daben to help him attract firepower!
"Shhh It's scary! ”
"Damn, his biceps are as thick as my thighs."
"Hurry up, I feel like he's going to eat us!"
Big Ben's fierce and vicious image perfectly completed the task given by Kobe, and Kobe took the opportunity to escape from the locker room.
"Yes, professional." Bryant patted Big Ben on the shoulder.
"Hey, the boss has won the prize." Ben Wallace didn't have that fierce expression in front of Kobe, but looked like a cute black bear.
The two men fled in a puff of smoke, leaving behind a group of Los Angeles media who thought Kobe Bryant was still in the locker room.
Kobe Bryant doesn't know when these reporters will wait, the night in January, even in California, is a little cool~
...
"Five Consecutive 40+! This rookie is from Earth? 》
"The Man Who Made Hill Flee in Panic"
"Seven Consecutive 40+? He didn't say big things"
Hotly discussed, Kobe Bryant was playing against the Pistons, facing Grant Hill and scoring 43 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists again!
Scored 6 points in a row at the critical moment! Block Hill!
What is Superstar? Just look at Kobe!
The media finally took Kobe's bold words, seven consecutive 40+, as a possible thing, and then they climaxed!
It's a basketball event! It's a big event in Los Angeles! It's a national event!
A legend! The legend of 7 consecutive 40+ is about to be born!
There are two games left, the Mavericks and the Warriors, and the media doesn't think they'll be better than the Pistons.
Even if he played the Pistons, Kobe Bryant blew up Hill at a critical moment!
Although the fact is that Bowen consumes Hill a lot and Kobe Bryant has the opportunity, the media will not care about this! Grant Hill's title of the pride of the sky was almost installed on Kobe Bryant by them.
Even in this game, Hill scored 42 points, 11 rebounds and 3 assists, but his performance at critical moments was a little weak.
Shaq O'Neal made 23 free throws and hit 11 of 11 shots to finish with 27 points, 13 rebounds and 4 assists. The Pistons curtailed O'Neal's dominance with foul play.
"Bruce, is there anything wrong?" When Kobe Bryant got home, he made a phone call to Bowen first.
"It's no big deal, I got 7 stitches, and the doctor said that I need to recuperate for 14 days to recover."
"Then you have a good rest, heal your injuries and go to war."
"Okay boss."
Bryant hung up the phone, and the Lakers finally started to have injuries.
Although the Lakers have a dense schedule this season, injuries have been rare.
Because the game often goes into garbage time after three quarters, the players' physical reserves are very good.
This time, Bowen is going to rest for half a month, which is a big blow to the Lakers' already weak forward.
Fortunately, there are not many strong opponents in the next half month, most of them are non-playoff teams, and it will be more troublesome to have only one supersonic, but fortunately, the supersonic does not have too strong small forwards.
Hopefully, Bowen will be back on the court for the Feb. 5 rematch against the Bulls, where he was badly needed against Pippen.
There should be no problem, today, January 18th, February 5th is still 18 days away.
Who will the coach start?
...
"Jamal, you've been in trade rumors a lot lately, and there's news that you're about to be traded to the Miami Heat, is that true?"
"As a professional, all I can do is play well. This is true for any team. ”
"Tomorrow you're going to face the league's No. 1 Los Angeles Lakers, what do you think of Kobe Bryant, the recent super-rookie? He's already won 5 consecutive 40+, and according to him, he's going to take 7, will you be his next prey? ”
"Of course not! Kobe Bryant is here, it's impossible to get 40+! There's me, there's the new Michael Finley here! Kobe Bryant just knows what an iron-blooded front is! "Jamal Mashburn swears that his economic man has told him that he is leaving the Mavericks soon.
This is his fourth year, and that's the end of his rookie contract. He needs to sign a new contract, and the amount of this contract depends on his recent performances.
Jamal Mashburn is full of energy to beat Kobe Bryant, stepping on the league's rookie Wang Kobe Bryant to go to a new team, then the status and salary can all be done.
The Mavericks are currently 14-26 and 11th in the West.
New junior forward Michael Finley is playing very well, and Jamal Marshburn already senses that the team is about to make him a core player.
And the conflict of position, the conflict of play, even if he is not traded now, will not be in the team's plan in the future.
....
"Kobe, Eddie, Robert, Campbell, Shaq first team."
"Derek, Nick, Jeromy, Ben, Tyrese first team."
"Team training starts now, pay attention to the range of confrontation! Don't get hurt! Bowen is waiting for you at the hospital! Kirtlambis roared and blew the whistle for the team's match.
The small forward who came off the bench was Jeromy Corsey, the No. 22 pick in 2 rounds in '84, who was still able to play in the league after 12 years, but his age of 34 was the biggest problem.
Kobe Bryant remembers that in his last life, he was a starting small forward in the Lakers' post-Ceballos era, and I have to say, a bit of a pit.
He averaged 6.3 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 25.2 minutes per game.
Highlight a stroke!
But if it's as a backup small forward, then he still has good defensive experience, and although he can't lead the team on both ends of the floor like Horry, at least he is a reliable player on the defensive end.
Harris also took the opportunity to see if such a combination could satisfy him, and Bowen was out for 14 days, so he had to find a way to fill the hole in his departure.
"Didn't eat? That's it? "Bryant is still very serious in intra-team competitions, and he likes to trash talk at his teammates and push them to work hard during training.
A lot of players can't stand such a high-pressure environment and choose to leave, but those who stay are often the players with the strongest willpower.
This is Kobe Bryant, in Kobe's team, you can't be lazy.
