Chapter Fifty-Nine: The First Stop of the Five Passengers! Minnesota!

"Why do I feel like every team's power forward can beat us?" Kobe Bryant was a little puzzled, he always felt that he was playing a little hard this season, and although he kept winning, he always felt that something was not right.

After thinking about it for a long time, the Lakers' power forward problem is in front of us.

If it weren't for the big forward's games being blown up, many of the Lakers' games would not have been as tiring as Kobe Bryant and so hard to win. As a dynasty team at a historic level, there should be more crushing games. And now there are often teams that can go back and forth with the Lakers, and even have to play Kobe Bryant to win, which is unscientific.

The power forward position is the one position where the Lakers have hoarded the most players, with Campbell, the 10-million-level big forward, Horry, the all-round space No. 4 position, and Big Ben's defensive gate.

But it's going to blow up!

Campbell seems to be doing everything, but it's actually all loose. Horry's height and strength mean he won't be good defensively. Big Ben and O'Neal can't coexist at all, and his interior partner at the peak of his later life was a projection interior roaring Rashid Wallace, so he can make up for his shortcomings on the offensive end, and now he is awkward with O'Neal.

There's also the fact that the league's top power forwards have sprung up like mushrooms, and it's hard to imagine last year's second-best striker being Kemp and third-hand being Moonbeck.

And this season with the emergence of Garnett, Webb, Duncan. The competition for the power forward position has entered a new level. Campbell, who was still able to mix well in most games with the Lakers last year, has been more and more relegated to the bench by Harris, and Horry has started in his place.

It's a struggle!

Coupled with the shrinking defensive area after O'Neal gained weight, those top power forwards can completely avoid O'Neal's help defense to complete the offense, which aggravates the Lakers' power forward crisis even more.

This question may be the Lakers' Achilles heel.

But so far, Kobe Bryant has no good solution.

can only use his own better performance to make up for this defect of the team.

Anyway, it was the same in the previous life, there was never a perfect team, only invincible players!

As long as you're strong enough!

It's okay for teammates to pull their hips!

...

"Ahh Ahh "It's a bitterly cold December in Minnesota, and as soon as they get off the plane, the Lakers players sneeze with cold.

"Damn, I almost couldn't land." The cold winds blowing from Canada have brought a blizzard to Minnesota, making it very difficult to land at the snow-covered airport.

The Lakers' flight circled several times before it landed.

Seriously, Kobe Bryant felt a little chilly in his heart.

Fortunately, Boeing was still countless times safer than the helicopter, and finally landed safely, and Kobe Bryant breathed a sigh of relief.

The next day, bad news came.

"Fake, Bowen and Mullin have a cold!" The team doctor, Gariverti, bursts into Harris's room and tells Harris the bad news.

Harris frowned.

"Can I play normally?"

"Mullin is no more, he has a bad cough and I even think he should be quarantined! Bruce has mild symptoms and can play, but his form will fluctuate. ”

"At this time? How long can it be better. ”

"If you have a cold, it's usually a week... Mullin is more serious, estimated to be a week. Bruce is physically fit and should be able to play, but it will always affect his form, and not everyone can still cut 30+ in the case of the flu like Michael. ”

"In this game, should you let Campbell play 4 and Horry play 3?" Harris was speechless, the most critical moment to break the winning streak caught a cold, this place in Minnesota is simply poisonous!

If it weren't for the cold, the players wouldn't have gotten sick.

Fortunately, the Bulls' second-in-command Pippen couldn't play in this game, which is equivalent to a tie with the Bulls!

...

"Coach, let Stephen start?" Bryant's suggestion left Harris confused.

Just kidding, a player who has played in 5 games this season, averaging 5.1 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game, do you want him to start?

Although garbage time has been brushed out of 15+5+5, what does this mean? Garbage time is garbage time, and this kind of data doesn't say anything!

A two-wheeled show! Really want to start him?

"Coach, he can play against Tom Gugliotta."

"Are you sure?" Tom Gogliotta, the Wolves' All-Star big man pitcher, caused a lot of trouble for the Lakers, and his height and projection made it very difficult for Bowen to defend, after all, Uncle Bao's arm span was so long that he couldn't interfere with it at all.

"Try it, if it doesn't work, let Campbell go."

"Then try."

Kobe Bryant is the absolute core of this Lakers team, the darling of Lakers management, and Harris's beloved apprentice (head assistant). Harris thought about it for a moment and decided to give it a try.

The gap between the Wolves and the Lakers is still very large, even if Stephen Jackson plays a few minutes and drags his feet, he can quickly rotate Campbell to play.

The main threat to the Lakers from the Timberwolves is their power forward Garnett, and maybe Stephen Jackson's defense can help Horry better defend and attack.

Kobe Bryant also has the attitude of giving it a try, and the picture of the martial saint in the last life who single-handedly defended the peak German tank Nowitzki and won the black eight Kobe Bryant is vivid. It can be said that Wu Sheng's best thing is to defend this kind of big man pitcher, his confrontation ability and long hands and feet, and the oppressive force for this kind of pitcher is far stronger than Bowen.

Although he is still young in this life, he can't get the wolf king Garnett, and he still has a chance to get Tom Gugliotta?

...

"Mom, I'm starting! Boss Kobe Bryant gave me a chance! ”

"Woooooooooooo I will cherish it! I'm going to let the players on the opposite side know what defense is! ”

"Okay, Mom. I'll say hello to Kobe Bryant later! ”

In the corner of the locker room, the immature martial saint choked. A second-round show, playing the first starter, and then going to the pinnacle of life like Bowen and Big Ben?

Move!

Thank you Kobe Bryant for the opportunity!

"Stephen, I'm asking you a question." Kobe Bryant watched it for a long time, and he couldn't help it.

"What?"

"I don't have a duty to you, what do you mean by the tattoo on your neck recently?"

"That's kanji! Top dog! I know you love Chinese culture, and so do I! ”

"What a word?"

"It's called 'zhong'! It means loyalty! ”

"It's called 'zhi'! It means wisdom! ”

"I understand this, but I just want to know, why is your wisdom a Tian?" Bryant raised an eyebrow.

"What?" Jackson looked confused.

"Man, you got a typo."
