Chapter 482: Thoughts
"Bryant, I would suggest that you take a few more games out of action with your injury, and the examination shows that you have varying degrees of wear and tear on your knees and ankles. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "Gary. Vitti said as he gave Kobe Bryant a routine check. "No, Gary, I'm going to play, I'm going to play in the next game." Bryant opened his mouth and said.
"Bryant, I don't recommend you doing this, because you are different from others, you will fight hard as soon as you get on the court, so even 20 minutes will risk the injury will worsen!" Gary. Victi frowned and objected. Kobe Bryant shook his head and said, "Gary, I have to play in the next game, you know I'm running out of time." â
"Bryant, forget all those outside disturbances, the Lakers have ...... this season" this time Gary. Before Waiti finished speaking, Kobe Bryant instantly cut it off and said: "Gary, the Lakers will definitely enter the playoffs this season!" I hope you don't say anything like this in the future! â
Kobe Bryant and Gary. Vetti has worked together for at least a dozen years, and it is rare to see a displeased, or even slightly angry, tone like this. But Gary. Wetty had just stepped on the Lakers' No. 24 "minefield" with certain words, so he didn't hesitate to detonate it. Gary. Waiti also seemed to be familiar with Kobe's temperament, so he didn't care, and said: "Bryant, I know you're a competitor, a competition maniac, but there are some things, you better not force yourself too much." The Lakers have only 12 games left this season, and if they want to catch the last train of the playoffs, unless they win all, there is no hope at all. Well, if you don't like to hear it, even if it is a complete victory, it depends on the face of the Jazz and the Rockets, and if they have a good record in the rest of the game, there is no hope for our Lakers. So ......"
"Gary! You know I don't care about these objective reasons! Bryant was a little annoyed and he looked at Gary. "I just want to win, I just want to send the Lakers to the playoffs, and anything else, I don't think much about it right now!" "Is it worth it for you to work for something that is so unlikely to happen?" Do you think it's expensive if you get hurt? Listen to me, although I was also optimistic about this Lakers team before the start of the season, but ...... Things are often out of human control, we lose, you do your best, that's enough, no one will be harsh on you, Bryant ......"
"Do you think no one will criticize me?" Kobe Bryant smiled on his mouth, but obviously, it wasn't the warm kind, and said, "Don't you see it?" Now that the season is not over, the ridicule and ridicule of me are already overwhelming, if I don't work hard, I can't pass my own hurdle! With that, he sat up from the bed and continued, "Say no more." â
Kobe Bryant looked down at the two English abbreviations of "******* on his jersey, and said in a deep voice: "Even if I don't fight for myself, I have to fight for Mr. Bus, this is one of the things I promised him before he died." â
"I can't break my word to him."
"So for the remaining 12 games, I have to play, I have to win!" As Kobe Bryant spoke, the expression on his face became faintly stubborn.
On March 25, U.S. time, the Lakers challenged the Golden State Warriors of the Bay Area away, and the Golden State Warriors are currently 40-31, ranking 7th in the entire Western Conference. This game was also the first game of Kobe's comeback after his injury.
It was a very strange game.
Howard was still doing his own thing in the first half, and he didn't have a shot in the second half, you go and look at Howard's statistics for this game, the number of shots in the second half was zero, and even the chances of touching the ball were pitiful. Why? The answer is that Kobe Bryant is starting to go it alone.
Not the usual "black mamba model" for a period of time, but ...... Throughout the second half.
continued to turn on the so-called "Kobe time" and "Kobe scoring mode".
This is a very abnormal phenomenon, because Kobe Bryant will turn 35 years old in a few months this year, and this age, no matter what competitive sport he puts in, is an "absolute veteran" age. It stands to reason that Kobe Bryant at this age should "play soy sauce" in the regular season to conserve energy and wait for the playoffs to exert his strength. But if you look at his playing time this season, he is in the top five in the league, which is longer than everyone in the 03 Platinum generation. This is absolutely unimaginable for the physical consumption of "old Kobe".
But there is no way, he does not have Duncan's conditions of "playing dead" and "playing soy sauce" in the regular season, and the Los Angeles Lakers are the focus of media attention this season. His every move is in the spotlight and is infinitely magnified. This gave Kobe Bryant. Bryant, great outside pressure. It's not that he doesn't want to be "lazy" in the regular season, after all, the degradation of physical skills is something that "Qiao Shen" can't resist, it's just ...... How can he rest now?
The cynicism of the outside world, the ups and downs of the Lakers this season, and the death of old Buss finally exhausted all of Kobe's patience. His inner paranoia and stubbornness have been completely activated at a certain moment.
In the second half, he scored 29 points, including 10 free throws, and it can be seen that the Lakers' No. 24 stepped on the gas pedal and hung up to the end. But because the digging hole in the first half was too big, even if Kobe Bryant scored 29 points in the second half, he still did not stop the decline of the Lakers, and finally lost to the Golden State Warriors by 103-109 and 6 points.
With 34 wins and 37 losses, the Lakers' winning percentage continues to decline.
On the same day, Kobe. Bryant missed the post-game press conference, and it is said that he didn't even return to the locker room, and went straight out of the Warriors' Oracle Arena.
For the Lakers to continue to lose, the mainstream media is naturally "happy to see".
For example, ESPN released several headlines in a row, saying:
The Lakers are completely finished! They still have a 1.9% chance of making the playoffs?
"Four Heavenly Kings"? This Lakers team is simply a rabble!
Big laughing stock! Count Kobe. Bryant's "big words" this season!
At the same time, various experts, reporters, and analysts of ESPN began to "gear up" and write about some "things" of the Lakers this season on their Twitter and columns. Of course, basically all of them are mocking and sarcastic, and when they see the Lakers players, they are angry, but they are helpless.
Because competitive sports need results to speak, and if you don't produce results, then no matter how you argue, it will only be exchanged for more violent remarks. In this regard, the American media is even more unscrupulous and ruthless than the domestic media.
Tang Qian couldn't help it, he wanted to go to the Lakers general manager's office to force a complaint, but before he could enter the door, he was intercepted by the security guards outside the door. No matter what he said, the security guards just wouldn't let him in.
Tang Qian knew that this was Mickey. Kupchak was too lazy to see himself, so he made a trick.
Tang Qian had no choice but to call the team's owner, Jim. Bath, unlike old Bass, rejected himself in one go, claiming that he was 100% in favor of any team decision made by the general manager of the team. The way this nostrils came out of breath really made Tang Qian want to crawl over, and then punch him angrily.
Could it be ...... Is there really no way? So, if the future is like this, what future do you have in the Lakers?
Can you change teams, not to mention that he doesn't accept it emotionally, even if it is successful, can you guarantee that this kind of thing will not happen again?
The NBA is a business arena first, and then a competitive arena.
Tang Qian was quite upset at this time, he was rarely "lazy" for a day, and then decided to go to Los Angeles to relax.
Coming down from Uber, Tang Qian was a little aimless, although he desperately wanted to come out just now to take a breath, but when he really came out, he felt that he had nowhere to go. So give Taylor a call? Tang Qian's heart suddenly rose with this thought.
He reached for his phone and dialed Taylor's number.
The phone was connected, but the person who answered was not Taylor. Swift is her agent Lucy, I don't know why Tang Qian always feels that this person named Lucy doesn't like him very much, so after a simple conversation, Tang Qian hung up the phone happily.
Forget it, just wander around by yourself, and when you're tired of shopping, go back.
Tang Qian put the phone back in his pocket, and then left alone, and began to roam the streets of Los Angeles.
The urban area of Los Angeles is really developed, and there is a lot of traffic and people everywhere, but unlike China, although it is lively, the flow of people is still incomparable with that of China. Overall, it won't make you more irritable when you're upset.
Tang Qian felt for the first time that the NBA is not as simple as he thought, and the NBA is sometimes more like a small society, in which each team is a miniature country. If you want to stand in this team, it's not enough just to play the ball and work hard, because there are a lot of off-field factors that will affect you and restrict you.
Finally, he understood LeBron. Why is James so strong in the team, even the management seems to have to intervene a little before he is willing. There are disadvantages to this, but there are also advantages, the advantage is that it can reduce internal friction, twist the whole team into a rope, take yourself as the center, and go all out to impact the championship trophy. But really, in the NBA, like LeBron. There are still very few people of James' type, one is the lack of strength, the second is not enough brain, and the third is that emotional intelligence is not good, without any of these three, you can't be the supremacy of James in the team.
Because against management, it doesn't mean that you have the strength and potential, so why can't Duncan do it in the top ten in history? Why can't Abdul-Jabbar do it? Why couldn't Chamberlain do it? Why can't O'Neill do it? Why can't Kobe Bryant? That's what the latter two factors are missing. Or maybe you have one and you don't have the other.
The whole team is willing to follow James to "counter" and "fight" together, and ordinary superstars can't do this at all.
Kobe, he can't either.
Therefore, the level of internal friction of the Los Angeles Lakers has been at the forefront of NBA teams over the years.
And James is different, he can let the team owner go all out, build the team around him alone, poach people if he wants people, give money if he wants money, it's not that these bosses are stupid themselves, and they are replaced by others as bosses, and they will definitely not be able to do this level of James. It can only be said that James really has strong talent in some aspects, which is something that other NBA stars can't learn.
If...... I can also be with LeBron in this area. James would be the same.
Tang Qian walked and walked, and suddenly this thought came to his mind.
He bet it was the first time he'd ever thought of it since he played basketball.
As he walked, Tang Qian saw a large outdoor basketball court, which may not be common in China, but in the United States, the kingdom of basketball, it is a commonplace thing. Because here, too many people love to play basketball.
Oh, it seems that the basketball court attracts me the most.
Tang Qian involuntarily walked over, and at this moment, he suddenly saw two sneaky and suspicious black men outside the iron mesh wall. Tang Qian usually didn't bother to care about them, after all, he didn't work in the police station, but when he walked over, the words of these two people made Tang Qian feel annoyed.
"Damn it, this stinks. Prostitute. Why is the son still watching basketball? Didn't she dislike competitive sports before? A short black man stared at the iron mesh wall, opened his mouth and said: "How do I know, I guess I think my chest is too small, I want to play basketball, and strive to look as big as basketball~"
"haha~ makes sense, makes sense~ although that stinks. Prostitute. Zi's breasts are not small, but of course it is better to be bigger, and it tastes like pinching it, it's just refreshing~" The tall black man is lewd. smiled and echoed: "You seem to have pinched it, you can pull it down, people are small. Sister, you are such a rotten worm, she can't even look down on her toes! â
"Cut !!" The short black man looked unhappy and said, "Drag a fart, drag it, when we catch her, sooner or later we will have a chance to masturbate it~ The boss is tired, it's our chance!" At that time, I don't. Full of her foul mouth, I won't call her Joan!! â
"Hehe~ It also makes sense~ The boss has always been this style, never eats alone, and will always relieve the hunger of his brothers when he is tired~ When I think of the opportunity to be on this pearl color~ I will work hard~ I don't know if she is a 'solid wood floor' or a 'tropical rainforest'? Hmph, you must kill her if you have a chance! â
âT.M.Dīŧ When is this damn basketball game over??? I'm so tired of waiting!! â
"Hell knows! People who play basketball are brainless, and I don't know who invented basketball as a boring and disgusting sport!! â
Speaking of which, someone suddenly interjected from behind them:
"Hey~ I said you guys~ Why do you look down on people who play basketball?"
