Chapter 620: Turnaround?
This picture is so similar, because the first time Tang Qian met Kobe Bryant, it was a bullfighting heads-up. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
However, there is a difference, and now the situation of the two is completely reversed.
How serious the Achilles tendon tear is, Tang Qian has now seen it with his own eyes, in fact, Kobe Bryant also postponed his comeback time in the original space-time, and did not return until December 9, 2013 against the Raptors. This is enough to show that Kobe's recovery state is not as good as he expected.
And another point, he is very unaccustomed to his body now.
No matter how much he recovered, no matter how he recovered, he didn't play high-intensity games, Kobe Bryant's body was obviously "fatter" a lot more than last season, according to Gary. Vetti said that this is all the excess "fat" that Kobe Bryant will "get rid of" in the middle of the season. For athletes, muscle gain has an impact, not to mention the increase in "fat"? Kobe Bryant fell below the 200-pound mark last season when he was skinniest, and now? That's 224.87 pounds! Rounded up, it's about 225 pounds. This kind of weight, Kobe Bryant once had when he was young, such as the "Little Malone" period, once exceeded 230 pounds, but Kobe Bryant felt that the consumption brought by such a body was too great, so he lost it next season. But to be clear, it was a real muscle back then, but now?
And after the Achilles tendon was torn, Kobe's speed, elasticity and explosiveness were frantically weakened, which directly caused his jump height to become a "matchbox". In this way, you must readjust your shooting rhythm and arc, otherwise the "step-back jumper" that No. 24 is proud of will completely lose its threat.
However, as mentioned earlier, the current Kobe still thinks that he is the peak Kobe, and he also thinks that he is the deadly black mamba, so in Tang Qian's opinion, all the technical actions have not changed significantly.
Including his mentality.
In this way, he is head-to-head with the current Tang Qian, and the end can be imagined.
Kobe Bryant's scoring ability this season is only 13+ level, and you let him fight with the current Tang Qian......
Kobe Bryant lost 5-10 in the first set, this is because Tang Qian is still a little unaccustomed to it, and there is still a little residual deterrence of peak Kobe Bryant in his mind. Since the second set, Kobe has never scored more than 2 balls, and the two have played 5 sets in a row, all of which ended in Tang Qian's victory. Especially in the last game, Bryant "swallowed zero" and lost the bullfight 0-10.
"Damn! Again! "Kobe Bryant has the same paranoid personality as Jordan on the basketball court, and if he doesn't beat you, he won't let you go easily.
Of course, I won't let myself go easily.
Tang Qian didn't speak, just nodded and continued.
After 3 more rounds, it was still the same situation, and even because of Kobe's continuous physical consumption, he only scored one goal in the whole 3 rounds. 1-30, Kobe Bryant lost miserably again.
Kobe Bryant supported his knees with his hands and gasped for breath, and it could be seen that because there had been no systematic training for more than 200 days, Kobe's proud physical fitness was shrinking rapidly and becoming vulnerable. Tang Qian's physical fitness is not good among NBA players, but he doesn't have much of a sense of breath now.
From this, it can be seen.
"Damn! Again! Again!!! Kobe Bryant was not convinced and asked to fight again, Tang Qian knew the temper of the man in front of him, so he didn't say anything more and continued to fight. However, during the whole process, Tang Qian did not let go of the water, because for people like Kobe, it was tantamount to a greater humiliation.
0-20, Kobe Bryant was even more tired, so his technical moves lost his threat, and he didn't score a point, and was directly defeated by Tang Qian.
"Damn! Damn it!!! Again!!! Again!!! This time, Tang Qian was not silent anymore, and said in a low voice: "Kobe, you are already very tired, there is no need to continue." Tang Qian didn't finish this sentence, but the meaning was very simple, and the next sentence was...... It's the same if you continue, the result can't be changed.
Kobe Bryant's eyes flashed with anger when he heard this, but soon, his expression darkened again, and without saying a word, he packed his luggage, and then walked out of the Toyota Sports Center alone. At the moment when the door closed, Tang Qian seemed to see the back of a king who was aging, the end of the hero, and the withering of the veteran.
And the most unacceptable thing for No. 24 is that he is not caused by natural aging, he was knocked down by injury.
fought with injuries and illnesses for a lifetime, but in the end fell on injuries.
I can't afford to be sick.
This is even more ironic than natural aging.
Coupled with ESPN's bearish remarks, Kobe's heart turned up for the first time.
That's it, on the 6th, this is the day of the start of the preseason, and the Lakers will face the Golden State Warriors, their opponents from the same continent tonight.
In this game, the Lakers were shot, although the "Splash Brothers" have not officially entered the "era of Western domination", but the offensive ability has exploded. Curry and Thompson each hit 5 three-pointers, plus the rest of the bench had a good hand, a total of 16 three-pointers were shot in the game, and the Los Angeles Lakers were helpless and were slaughtered in an instant. Curry scored 24 minutes and 29 points, and he has faintly seen the ability of "high-speed basketball".
The era of the big bang of alliance data is about to begin.
Kobe Bryant's positional style of play is not only unsightly in terms of data and efficiency, but also trapped in his body, and he completely fell into a situation where both offensive and defensive ends were "blown up". He shot 2-of-16 from the field and shot 12.5 percent from the field. Thompson scored 23 points, and the latter only took 13 shots.
With high speed and increased offensive and defensive rounds, the league began to fully enter the era of efficiency, which is also the favorite rhythm of the "Splash Brothers". Exploit their strengths and avoid their weaknesses, and the combined power of the two will soon deter the entire alliance.
The second preseason game was on the 7th, it was a back-to-back game, although at home, but the Lakers, who had not changed the lineup, were once again beaten by the "track and field Nuggets" and lost the whole game by 31 points. Bryant only hit a pitiful one of the 15 shots in the game, and if it weren't for the breakaway kill, he scored 8 points at the free throw line, and Bryant might not have scored 10 points in this game.
But 10 points? Or is it such a laborious 10 points? What is it for a former scoring superman like Kobe?
In the third preseason, moved to the Nuggets' home court, this time it was still about the same, and they continued to be blown up, and the Lakers' defensive holes and fatigue made them completely unable to parry the Nuggets' "track and field style", so 77-100, 23 points swallowed three consecutive losses in the preseason. Kobe Bryant shot 4-of-21 in this game, got 14 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists, and the shooting rate was less than 20% again.
In the fourth game, Kobe Bryant fell into self-competition, facing the Kings with 30 crazy shots, you must know that in the preseason, it is rare for a star to shoot so many times. But in the end, he only hit 5 goals, 25 crazy iron shots, and at the same time there were "wonderful shots" of being hatted 4 times by young people. It was another night of less than 20 percent shooting.
At the beginning of this game, some "discordant" voices began to appear within the Lakers, such as accusing some people on the team of shooting too much and playing too many singles, such as dissatisfaction with the lack of offensive opportunities, such as ...... In short, these spearheads, without exception, are aimed at the Lakers' No. 24 Kobe. Bryant.
ESPN is even more hype, look, I'm right, I ranked Kobe Bryant 25th, which is really not low!
The famous Cohei Lake Black Henry. Abbott also wrote: ESPN ranked Kobe Bryant 25th? In fact, I now don't think the Lakers will be able to make it to the top 100 at No. 24! Well, if you say "ever", then I have nothing to say. But now Kobe Bryant, with the highest total number of shots in the league in 4 preseason games, and a shooting rate of less than 20%, how much do you think he can rank?
Of course, Kobe Bryant also saw these remarks, and if it was before, he must have exploded in the next game and slapped Henry hard. Abbott has a couple of big mouths. But now, it's not that he hasn't done it, it's just that he "has more than enough heart but not enough strength".
The Lakers lost again in Game 5, Kobe Bryant shot 0 of 16, was replaced by the head coach halfway through, and never played again.
Seeing this, Lakers fans were cold and asked if Kobe's injury had not yet recovered.
The official answer is that Kobe Bryant did force an early comeback, and the preseason is just to try his form, and he will not return to the Lakers at the beginning of the regular season.
As soon as the news came out, it was said that Kobe Bryant directly broke into Mickey. In Kupchak's office, according to the grapevine, the two had a heated argument. And then...... Bryant didn't appear again in the remaining three preseason games.
The Lakers' explanation is that Bryant needs to be fully committed to rehab and that a return date has not been set.
At this moment, the problems of the Lakers team, Huo Ran highlighted, Los Angeles, which was originally old, weak and sick, and this season has gone to the bench for Antoine. Jamison. The latter directly took the veteran's base salary and went to the Clippers in the same city. In this way, coupled with the fact that Nash has not recovered from injury, the Lakers' starting lineup is extremely weak in attack, leaving only Tang Qian, Gasol, and Steve. Blake, Jordi. Meeks, and his new addition, Ni. Kyan five. And among these five people, none of them can score 20+, and when it comes to attacking positions, except for Gasol, there is only ...... left Buddhist nun. Kyan.
The bench area is even more lackluster, because the "Warcraft" "waved his sleeves and left" before the preseason started, so the Lakers brought in reinforcements and did not do much at all. The original Carman and Kent. Bazemore's two 10+ points did not join the Purple and Gold as scheduled, but were robbed by other teams in advance. As a result, the Lakers are virtually unavailable on the bench.
The starting lineup and the bench both lacked offense, which made the Lakers lose all of their remaining three preseason games.
The preseason was exactly the same as last season, with a 0-8 finish.
Tang Qian played very amazing statistics, averaging 3.5 points, 15.9 rebounds, 4.7 blocks, 2 assists and 0.6 steals per game in 29 minutes. However, because of the Lakers' dismal record and preseason intensity, this set of statistics has not been noticed by anyone.
It was also a complete defeat in the preseason, and everyone was still full of confidence and ambition last season, but this season suddenly seemed to have fallen into hell on earth, from the management to the fans, everyone lost their thoughts about this season.
Lakers...... The estimate is over.
I guess it's going to be rebuilt.
At this moment, Tang Qian suddenly received a phone call, and when he looked at the number, he was slightly surprised.
It's actually from the Lakers No. 24, "Black Mamba" Kobe. Bryant's phone.
Bryant? What is he looking for from me?
Tang Qian pressed the connect button on the screen with a stomach full of questions, and after the phone was connected, about 2~3 seconds later, the other end of the phone said loudly: "Hot, can you help me?" ”
Tang Qian was stunned when he heard this, and only after a long time did he say in a daze: "Help you?" How can I help you? ”
After another few seconds, Kobe Bryant said, "Help me recover, restore my Achilles tendon." ”
"What? But I ......," Tang Qian said in surprise, "But I'm not a doctor, I can't do it." ”
Kobe's unique deep voice came out, but it was a little more irritated than usual, and said, "I know you're not a doctor, but Matt told me that you're amazing, and if there's really no way, he asked me to try it with you." Tang Qian was slightly startled again, and said, "Matt told you?" Tang Qian thought that Barnes said that he "picked up the bullet with his bare hands", but Kobe Bryant said: "Matt didn't say anything to me, he just repeatedly emphasized that if there is really no way, let me put down my body and come to you." ”
"Really?" Tang Qian was a little relieved when he heard this answer, but then he said an answer that disappointed Kobe, and said, "I'm sorry, Bryant, I also want to help you, but I don't have any way at the moment, I'm sorry." "Really?" Bryant's voice sounded again after a while: "Is there really no way?" ”
After Kobe Bryant said this, he felt ridiculous and didn't ask Gary himself. Victi or Judy. Seto, these professionals, came to a player and asked "is there a way". It's not ridiculous, it's not ridiculous, and what?
Tang Qianli sighed slightly, and then opened his mouth and said, "Bryant, I really can't help it, if there is, I'm willing to pay a big price." After all, you've always been my idol. "Okay, I see, excuse me, let's get ready for the Lakers' next game." When Kobe Bryant heard this, he chose to hang up the phone, because if he continued to talk about it, he was afraid that he would have emotional fluctuations.
And it's the kind of negative emotional fluctuations that can't be suppressed.
Achilles tendon! This damn Achilles tendon! Why did it make me slide so much in one go???
I was a player last season! I was still in the first quartile last season! Why did it decline like this all of a sudden??? Can't even get 20 points???
The reason why Kobe Bryant is so annoyed and frustrated is not only dissatisfied with his recovery, but also external pressure, as well as ...... Fear of the end of your career. His original idea was that when his average points per game could not reach 20+, he would decisively choose to retire and leave the league that he had played for half his life. Can...... Is it 35 years old??? Is this the ???
This kind of psychological preparation, the Lakers No. 24 has never done at all.
According to Kobe's original plan, he should be able to maintain an average of 25+ points per game until he is 36 years old, and he should be able to maintain an average of 22~23+ points per game around the age of 40. But this sudden "Achilles tendon tear" broke the plan all at once.
The matter of retirement seems to be imminent.
Shooting less than 20% in 5 games? Scoring less than 10 points per game? This...... Or I'm Kobe. Bryant?
Shi.t!!!!!!!!!
Shi.t!!!!!!!!!
Shi.t!!!!!!!!!
The "ugliness" of the comeback, the ridicule of the outside world, and the gap between himself made the 24th, who had always been arrogant, suddenly break out, he sat on the sofa and shouted: "If I can recover!" If only I could recover! I'm willing to make a deal with Satan! I'm willing to make an exchange with the devil!! ”
Suddenly, Tang Qian, who was shaking his head after putting down his mobile phone, suddenly seemed to hear something.
