Chapter 451: Even if I miss 99 balls, I firmly believe that I will hit the next ball
G5, Houston 98:92 Lakers.
"Kobe, please give me an interview!"
"Kobe, you missed your last three shots, what's your thoughts?"
"Houston says you're a lucky player, and your luck ends here, is that true?"
The doors to the Lakers' locker room are blocked, and people love to see Kobe win, but seem to prefer to see Kobe lose dramatically.
The reporter's long guns and short guns were interspersed, and finally the crowd squeezed in.
You must know that the league game has been going on until now, and almost all the media in the United States are focused on Los Angeles and Chicago.
Like Michael Jordan, Jordan winning is nothing new, but every time Jordan loses, a whole bunch of people fall into a binge.
The same is true of Kobe's current position, the Lakers have won too many games this season, and this game is extremely dramatic, and like the previous one-man win a game, Kobe Bryant almost single-handedly buried a game.
A feast for the media! Kohei's.
The Lakers' veterans looked serious, and they weren't worried about Kobe Bryant missing a key shot.
Even Jordan often has a shooting percentage of about 30% in games, and conceding three goals in a row is a common thing for most players. One of the reasons for the sensation of this incident is that it happened to Kobe, a player of Kobe's phenomenal level, especially a player who played an epic performance in the last game, this kind of thing happened, similar to Jordan's final free throw missed the shot.
The other point is that the Lakers have won too much, and the Lakers have relied on Kobe Bryant to win too many games. This gave Kobe Bryant the label of the Black Christ, a key god, but Kobe, like Jordan, will also strike iron. Such a sense of contrast is what makes the media climax.
And the Lakers' players know in their hearts that Kobe Bryant has matured since the season, and he is not at all like a rookie. Bryant's ups and downs in form are no different from those of a seasoned veteran superstar in his thirties, and he's only had that problem in this playoff so far in this game.
Although the choice of the last few shots is debatable, the benefits that Kobe Bryant brought to the team more than offset everything.
Lakers veterans, such as O'Neal, Scott, Horry, and Curry Sr., surrounded Kobe Bryant and wanted to escort him out.
"No interviews, what about security? Take them out. "Kotlambis is also anxious, he is afraid that these media will have a negative psychological impact on Kobe, Kobe Bryant must have been very self-blaming for not hitting three balls, and the words of the media may become the last grass that overwhelms the camel, if Kobe Bryant can't bear the pressure and behaves abnormally, then the Lakers will be really difficult to play, Kobe can almost be said to be the winner of Houston, now the score has become 3:2, the next game back to Houston, it is not that there is no possibility of losing again.
If you lose again! It will be a nightmare to tie seven with this group of old ball ruffians in Houston!
"Let them come." Bryant's expression was very calm, just like his heart.
"What?" Rambis was a little confused.
"Let them come for an interview, or everyone won't want to leave." Bryant smiled.
"Row ......"
"Next, I said, listen." Kobe Bryant didn't wait for the reporter to ask a question, and said directly.
"I know there will be a lot of people in this game who will question my choice of shot."
"The reason for the loss in this game is on me, and I never deny it."
"I can have a bad hand and choose to pass the ball at the last minute, and most of the stars do that."
"But I won't!"
"In the next game, if the team needs me to step up, I will still choose to step up!"
"Even if I miss 99 goals in front of me, I'm confident he'll hit the next one!"
Kobe Bryant held his head high, pushed away the crowd with a cold and stubborn face, and walked out.
And the reporter is a little blindfolded and petrified.
"It's Kobea."
"Handsome exploded." Wen Ting Pavilion
"Black to pink."
"Let's go back and catch up on the manuscript."
The next day, an article in the Hollywood Daily was wildly circulated and reprinted.
"Even if I miss 99 goals, I'm sure I'll hit the next one!" 》
Yesterday, the Lakers lost to Houston, who chased the score back to 3-2.
In this game, the result was not surprising. No one thought that the Lakers would be able to easily take Houston 4-1, and Houston's comeback was something that many expected.
However, the plot development of this game surprised many people.
The key king, Kobe, who is equal to Michael Jordan in key scoring ability this season, actually shot two threes at the last moment of the game, and one hit iron?
Incredible.
Some people think Kobe Bryant is throwing money.
Some people think Kobe Bryant is playing the Lakers.
But what I see is a kind of responsibility.
A responsibility to put the team's victory or defeat on their own shoulders, a responsibility to take it into their own hands regardless of victory or defeat, and this is exactly what many stars in the league lack.
If it's Hill, if it's Hardaway, will they hit a ball like that?
Not at all, because they choose to pass the ball after the first goal is not scored.
But in this way, they also lost the possibility of performing miracles.
But Kobe Bryant will continue to vote!
G4 he's in! He put in an epic performance.
G5 didn't make it, but he always believed he could!
It's an absolute confidence, and it's the kind of confidence that I've only seen in a handful of players in the league, Jordan, Bird, Olajuwon, the Assassins.
This is the trait of these legends!
They dare to vote!
No matter how many goals they concede, they will be willing to step up when the team needs them!
Dare to ask if Kobe Bryant's last three shots are handed to his teammates, will they be able to hit?
O'Neal was exhausted, Eddie Jones was defended by Houston's forward line, and Barkley was almost hung on Horry.
No one has the physical strength to score, only Kobe Bryant stands up, and it can only be Kobe.
Even if I missed 99 goals, I was confident that I would hit the next one.
Bryant's words reveal his attitude, the spirit of never giving up.
What if you lose it?
He is still young and he has a limitless future.
After losing a game, I believe Kobe Bryant can adjust quickly.
People who love Kobe Bryant will not change after this game, because Kobe has always played like this, and those who hate Kobe may fall into a carnival after this game, and they finally found one of Kobe's few black spots.
See you in Houston for the next game at G6!
