"Guys, come over for a meeting." Harris was in the training hall, gathered the Lakers players, and looked at the usual Kobe Bryant and nodded with satisfaction.

Del Harris knows that in the vanity fair of Los Angeles, even if you are a saint, you will inevitably be taken out by the media for consumption. Kobe Bryant had just turned 18 years old, and only now did he detonate the topic, and it was a positive topic, which made Harris very satisfied.

"The Detroit Pistons are a one-man team from Grant Hill! The only thing we have to do to win this game is to strangle Hill! ”

"A lot of teams tried to strangle Hill's offense and they all failed! Instead, Hill tandem the whole team to play an incredible performance. ”

"While the Trail Blazers worked wonders for Hill's Jordan Rule, we didn't have time to practice this defensive play, which requires high-speed rotation, and we didn't need it."

"Bruce! Do you have the confidence to do it when you come to defend Hill? ”

"Well, yes." Bowen was a little lacking in confidence, and after being glared at by Kobe Bryant next to him, he still replied.

"Others cut ties between the Pistons players and Hill." Harris wanted to form a cage, and Grant Hill was the bird in the cage, leaving Hill isolated and stuck in singles, and the Pistons' offensive system naturally broke down.

"On the offensive end, Kobe Bryant needs to pass the ball more." Although Harris pampered Kobe, he doesn't want Kobe to play personal heroic basketball, the team configuration is already very good, there is no need to play like that, he hopes that Kobe will let the ball rotate more.

"Okay, Coach, I know." Kobe replied that he also knows in his heart that this style of play is not a long-term solution recently, although it seems that the data is very scary, but the team's offensive efficiency is not necessarily as high as before, especially for the physical consumption is a little large, and it takes a long time to do physiotherapy to recover after the game.

If you continue to play like this, it is very likely that you will accidentally suffer an injury, which will have an impact on this young body that is difficult to recover.

After all, he is only 18 years old, even if Kobe Bryant tries to avoid strong physical contact, but high scoring must require a large number of basket scores.

Kobe Bryant decided to finish these games, and when he entered the full star, he took a little leisure, and he shot more when he felt good, and generally it was better to make more efforts with key balls.

"Okay, all disbanded! Rest well, everyone! See you tomorrow! Harris clapped his hands and ended the team practice.

"Kobe, aren't you leaving?" Eddie Jones, who was about to go back to rest, saw that Kobe Bryant showed no signs of returning to the locker room, and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"A few more shots, Eddie, you go back and rest first."

"OK~ Kobe, don't take that shit in the media to heart."

Kobe Bryant smiled helplessly, how could he feel that he would be driven crazy by the media.

Okay, you'll find out in a few days. It's the media that's going to drive me crazy.

...

On January 18th, the Great Western Forum Arena, after the championship declaration event, today's Great Western Forum is noisier than usual. Two hours before the start of the game, Bryant was practicing shooting, and by this time there was already a very large crowd in the audience.

Kobe's old friend Jack Nelson also sat in his exclusive seat on the sidelines.

"Brother, you've been in the limelight lately." Jack Nelson also appeared in his seat.

"Small scenes, the good show is still to come."

"Oh, what's the point? Tell me about it? Jack Nelson gossiped.

"I said in the media, I'm going to get a seven-in-a-row 40+."

"Play really?"

"Really."

Jack Nelson patted Kobe Bryant's shoulder with admiration.

"Okay, if you get this seven-show 40+, I'll be a producer for you for free! By the way, the audition has been arranged, on the 21st, no problem, right? ”

"No problem. That's it! "Two people high-five, if you use the name of actor Jack Nelson, then this movie must be easier to harvest the box office.

Today's Lakers home court, not only Jack Nelson, Jerry West and Dr. Buss also came to the scene, waiting for the start of the game in the box.

"Is it possible for us to get Grant Hill?" DR. BUSS HAS ALWAYS BEEN DETERMINED TO REBUILD SHOW TIME, AND IN HIS OPINION, THE LAKERS ARE MISSING A TOP SMALL FORWARD.

As long as you get a top small forward, then the Lakers' lineup and SHOWTIME era must be no less impressive.

"The pistons won't let go." Jerry West patiently explained that this kind of cornerstone player, unless it is the Magic management, it is impossible for other teams to let go until they have a new cornerstone.

"Do I have any hope of getting Pippen, then? He is said to be very unhappy with his contract. "There are really not many top small forwards in the league, and they are still far from the prosperous era of small forwards in the future.

"That's right, he signed a seven-year, 18 million long-term contract in '92, and now his salary ranks 122nd in the NBA."

"Try to make a trade, you tell Pippen I'm willing to pay a cap, you know what I mean. Even if it doesn't work out, it's a good way to drive a wedge between the bulls. ”

Jerry West nodded slightly, and the two real old foxes looked at each other and smiled, all without saying a word.

Now that Kobe Bryant has made a declaration to win the championship, then we old guys have to show enthusiasm too!

The Los Angeles Lakers also have a name, and that is the Los Angeles Price Boosters.

The clash between the first and second place in the West, coupled with the rhetoric before the game, unsurprisingly attracted a lot of attention from fans and the media.

"President, I have a hunch that the ratings of this game will surprise us." Adam Shaw is doing the statistics, and the ratings for this game have already surpassed other games in the same period by a large margin when the pre-game news is broadcast.

"Kobe, Grant. 8vs33, this confrontation can become a classic like Michael vs Isaiah. ”

In addition, the Heat and Mavericks have already negotiated a deal, and Pat Riley actually used Woshan Leonard, Sasha Danilovich, Martin Moorsep. These three role players made the Mavericks agree to the Marshburn trade! Pat Riley must have used an off-the-board move! How can it not even be a draft pick, Mashburn is a top 10 small forward in the league. ”

"Pat Riley..."Stern thought about it, the situation in the East is basically dominated by the Bulls, which will inevitably reduce the intensity and excitement of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

"Leave him alone."

"But..."

"Don't worry about him, it's time for another top team in the East."
