"Stop! What are you doing here? A slightly cold voice suddenly sounded.

"Kobe!"

"Bryant!"

Seeing that the black man who had not spoken before spoke, the entire arena was silent for two seconds, and then Ci Shiping immediately shouted: "Kobe, look at this stinky boy, even if he played a mess in the playoffs, he dares to point at me in the opposite direction?" Don't stop me, I'm going to make this idiot look good today! ”

"Who's playing a mess in the playoffs?" When the lord heard this, he was also furious, and instantly counterattacked: "No matter how bad I played, I averaged more than 10 per game in the two rounds of the playoffs, what about you?" How's your flower head doing? I remember that after two rounds of the playoffs, you didn't get ten points, and I don't know who played badly! ”

"What do you say? You stupid pig who lost the game and lost people, even if you elbow and take off your clothes, it's really a shame for our Lakers, why don't you just take off your pants? Ci Shiping has been in the NBA for so many years, where is the good stubble, he thought to himself that if he couldn't even suppress a little kid today, then he would simply quit the Lakers.

"Who loses the game and loses? If it weren't for your three-point shooting like shit in that playoffs, how would we have lost? 3.3 shots, only 0.7 hits, just 20 percent of the hits, you know, when I see your stats, my eyes are going to be blinded by you! Is this what a small forward should do? Say you're shit, or lift you up! ”

"I'm shooting three-point shot like shit? What about your defense? Where's your cap? It's just 0.8, it's not as good as my small forward, it's really disgusting than shit! ”

"Old thing, what do you say, you have the ability not to talk about it, just come and fight me alone!"

"Puppy, you wait for me, your Uncle Meta will come over and beat you!"

"Enough is enough!!" Kobe Bryant suddenly yelled, "Do you still have me in your eyes??? ”

"But Kobe Bryant ......"

"Alright, Mehta, last time I played the Mavericks, it has nothing to do with you if you lose." Kobe Bryant directly interrupted Ci Shiping's way.

"Hmph, why doesn't it have anything to do with him, if his eyes can be on time, how can we ......" Andrew. Bynum couldn't see the situation clearly, and still "complained" about Ci Shiping.

"Andrew. Bynum, shut up for me, too! Kobe Bryant turned around and said loudly in front of the owner.

"Kobe, what are you doing here? Is it okay for him to provoke me first? Am I still fighting back in self-defense? The Lord continued to mite.

"Self-defense? What kind of blow is it against? If I tell you to shut up, you shut up, are you the boss of the team or am I ??? "Kobe Bryant has always had a lack of affection for this young player who was signed in 2005. In his opinion, he doesn't bother to care about his personality, temperament, private life, etc., and it doesn't matter, but his performance on the basketball court must not be ambiguous. Andrew. Bynum began to hone in the Lakers from 2005 to 2006, but after 6 years, he still hasn't improved at all, and his mind and control are not as good as ordinary high school students. This kind of young man, who made him have little patience, has long been worn to the edge of the limit, at most one more season, if Andrew . Bynum is still this unproductive bird, then he will apply to the management to let this 24-25 "genius inside" roll as far as he can.

Forced by the coercion of Kobe Bryant playing in the Lakers all year round, the second junior finally closed his mouth reluctantly, only to see him snort angrily, and then turned his head to practice alone.

"Kobe, what do you think of his attitude? Do you really think he's the future of the Lakers? Ci Shiping looked at Bynum's back and said indignantly.

"Whether it's the future of the Lakers or not, it's not up to him to have the final say." Kobe Bryant replied in an emotionless voice, and then said: "Don't be affected by last year's results, last year's time has passed, and winning the championship again this year and proving yourself is what we Los Angeles Lakers should do and should do." ”

"But what about Kobe Bryant, what about Lamar? Is that all? ”

That one is called Kobe. Bryant's man's face changed for a few seconds before he said in a cold voice: "I will go to the management to ask about the matter of Ramal, and now our job is to train hard and strive to defeat the Chicago Bulls in the opening game." ”

“but……”

Ci Shiping wanted to say something, Derek. Fisher hurriedly grabbed and said: "Meta, that's enough, since Kobe Bryant agreed, then he will definitely ask to understand, we are all professional players, and now that the new season has begun, don't be distracted by things off the court." ”

After Kobe Bryant resolved the contradictions within the team, his heart was not so calm and waveless.

Lamar. Odom's relationship with him was actually better and closer than anyone present. Kobe himself is also very sure of Lamar. But no one knows that Kobe Bryant may be a signboard or a symbol for the Lakers, but in the management, he has no status. A big reason why Kobe Bryant forced the palace to go to the Bulls in 2007 is that he suddenly found himself in the upper echelons of the Lakers and did not have the right to speak in his imagination. That's why that year, he took the kind of seemingly radical behavior to increase the management's attention to his opinion. To paraphrase Luke. Wharton's remarks in future interviews that Kobe Bryant's forced palace behavior in 07 was very correct, and even the whole team was silently supporting Kobe Bryant's forced palace. It can be seen that as a Lakers boss, his opinions are not valued. Such examples, in Bryant's life, were not uncommon, and Lamar. Odom's departure is also one of them.

Bryant knows Lamar. Odom's loyalty to the Lakers, ESPN reporter Stephen Murphy. Smith also saw the latter's video interview for the first time. Lamar. Odom's choked, sad, and even crying in front of the camera shook him greatly.

“…… I'm here with only one dream, and that's to play hard, and that's to make everybody happy...... But right now, I really don't know how to do it...... When I heard the news, I felt like my whole body was going crazy...... Do you know...... I've long made this place, the Lakers, my home, here, the Lakers are a part of my life, you know, here, an integral part of my life...... I don't really know, I really don't understand, why is this happening......"

Lamar. Odom's words swirled in Kobe's head over and over again, and he called directly to ask Lakers general manager Mitch afterwards. Kupchak, and Mitch. Kupchak's answer, as formulaic as ever, said: "Kobe, this is Odom's own decision, after the league called off the three-way trade, we have no intention of trading him again, it is he who came to my office and applied to leave the team by himself." ”

“bullshit！ Kupchak, do you think I'm a fool? What kind of person is Ramal, I don't know? Even if he were to leave, he would never go to the Mavericks who eliminated the Lakers last year!! ”

But Kobe Bryant's anger didn't get Mickey. Kupchak's attention, everything is the same as in '07, any decision of the Lakers, no player interferes, oh no, there is room for interference.

Unless it alarmed the old Bass.

"Bryant, don't forget, you're just a player on the Lakers and not a manager, so anything that management does, you don't need and don't need your consent. As a player, you only need to be responsible for things on the field, and as for things off the field, I advise you to take care of them less. "Mickey. The relationship between Kupchak and Kobe has always been not as harmonious as the outside world sees, and even many times, it is a bit incompatible.

Of course, this is something that outsiders can't see.

"Kupchak, have you forgotten what happened in '07? It's a big deal I'm going to petition Old Bass to see if you dare to do this to me!" Kobe Bryant was not born with a good temper, otherwise his "difficult to approach" and "difficult to get along with" labels would not have been plastered all over his body.

"'07?" Mickey. Kupchak sneered, he didn't like Kobe, and it was from this year that he started. In 07, Kobe Bryant and the whole team succeeded in forcing the palace, and the most hit person was none other than the general manager of the Lakers, Mitch. Kupchak. Why? The answer is actually not difficult to get, as the general manager of an NBA team, the biggest power is to plan the team and sign personnel. Kupchak is different from West, the general manager of the Lakers last term, he is an extremely controlling person, so Kobe Bryant made such a fuss, he feels that his power and prestige have been seriously eroded. Such a situation is naturally by Mickey. Kupchak took it to heart. Being led by the nose by the players, that's not his general manager style. It's just that because it was too big a fuss back then, it alarmed the biggest boss of the Lakers, Jerry Buss.

So Mickey. Kupchak had to bow his head for a moment.

Because Old Bass values Kobe very much.

He didn't want to go against the will of old Bass.

But this year, the situation has changed, and Kobe Bryant's attempt to scare himself with this trick is completely unworkable.

"Kobe. Bryant, do you think it's still '07? Times have long changed, the Lakers are no longer the Lakers of the past, and you are not the same person you were back then. "Mickey. Kupchak said in a non-yin voice.

"What do you mean?" Bryant Road.

"Bryant, do you think old Bass will come out to take care of things now? You've been with the Lakers for so many years, and you can't see any changes? ”

"If you have something to say, just say it, don't tell me half of it." Kobe Bryant said impatiently.

"Hmph, after so many years, your skills have indeed reached the peak, but it's a pity that your eyesight is still so 'pitiful'. Forget it, I'll tell you, from now on, the Lakers' power of life and death will slowly shift to Jim. In the hands of Bass. Old Buss because of physical health and other problems, the Lakers will completely let go. So ...... "Mickey. Kupchak chuckled on the phone and said, "Even if you call Old Bass now, it's useless, because I bet Old Bass will let you go to Jim. Bath solves the problem. ”

What the......

Although Kobe Bryant put all his mind on basketball, but the Los Angeles Lakers, after all, he has been in the league for more than ten years, and he is not unaware of the personnel changes at the top.

It's just that Old Bass's final decision was still beyond his expectations.

There was no choice, Jenny, but a choice, Jim?

No wonder......

No wonder Phil resolutely decided to leave the Lakers last year, did he anticipate this situation at that time?

Bryant. Bryant was thinking quickly, and it was about seven or eight seconds before he slowly spoke, "It turns out that this is why you've been hanging out with Jim lately, you're such a snobbish old wolf." ”

"Haha, Bryant, thank you for the compliment, I'm Mickey. Kupchak just went with the flow, didn't God say that a person's achievement is the distance that his eyes can see, and I am just a little more far-sighted than you. "Mickey. Kupchak said with a "complacent" expression.

Bryant. Bryant is not an idiot, he knows that no matter how much he tosses, he is not a core member of the Bass family, and he is also unable to protect himself under the storm of power change in the big family.

After being silent for a while, Kobe Bryant said into the phone: "Kupchak, do you know, this is the reason why you are not as good as West, no wonder Shaq didn't like you back then, I didn't understand it before, and now, I finally understand." ”

"What do you say? You say I'm not as good as West? "In Mickey. In Kupchak's heart, he was respectful, jealous and hated for the previous generation of Lakers general managers. Respect, naturally, is admiration for West's means and operational ability, jealousy, is Mickey. Kupchak has never thought that he is worse than the other party, and as for the last hate, it is his resentment against West for suppressing himself for 14 years.

Maybe many outsiders don't know, Mickey. Kupchak joined Lakers management early in 1986 and didn't first step up to the front desk until 2000, 14 years later. Prior to that, he existed as an assistant to West, assistant to the Lakers' general manager.

And as a rather ambitious man, Mickey. How could Kupchak be willing to be subservient for the rest of his life? So in 2000, he began to attack, although he kept claiming in front of the media that he and West were "students and mentors", but only he knew that he was tired of the position of assistant general manager. Therefore, his goal is to reduce the word until it becomes the word "general manager". It's not that West is not unaware of the private emotions of this deputy, it's just that for him, it doesn't matter at all, he was 62 years old at the time, and he didn't bother to argue about many things. Otherwise, with a Mickey. Kupchak can't shake his solid position as the godfather of the Lakers at all.

The final result, as everyone knows, is that West left the Lakers, and Mitch. Kupchak, who served as assistant general manager for 14 years, was finally corrected and became the rightful "new godfather" of the Lakers.

However, Kobe Bryant is not interested in Kupchak, because in his opinion, the reason why Gasol came to the Lakers back then was completely the first generation of godfather Jerry. West's relationship. So of course, the Lakers' later two consecutive championships were also Jerry. West instead of this Mickey. Credit to Kupchak.

"Bryant, don't be ignorant, if it weren't for me, you would have got Paul. Gasol? Can you achieve two consecutive championships? What an ungrateful white-eyed wolf you are! "Mickey. Kupchak yelled into the phone.

"Kupchak, you idiot, do you really think that Paul. . . Is Gasol here because of you? Do you really think that the reason why I chose to stay in the team back then was because of you? You're a real white-eyed wolf! Kobe Bryant suddenly sneered.

"What? Bryant, what do you mean by that? ”

"Originally, I didn't bother to tell you, but now, it's been so long anyway, and it's okay if I tell you. You can prick up your ears and hear clearly. Kobe Bryant's voice was slightly mocking: "The reason why I suddenly chose to stay on the team back then has nothing to do with you, it was completely Jerry. Credit to West. It was he who called me one night, and it was he who promised that he would definitely get reinforcements for the Lakers, otherwise how could you shut me up just with your mouth? How is it possible to get Gasol? ”

"What, what? This, this can't be!! "Mickey. Kupchak shouted.

"Nothing is impossible." Bryant. Bryant said: "If you don't believe you on this point, ask Paul and see if he has the same answer as I do." Do you really think you can rob Paul yourself? It was Jerry who gave the Spaniards a reassurance. West, not you. ”

"You, you fart!! You're lying!!! "Mickey. Kupchak seems to have overturned the desk in the office, and what made him so out of control was what Kobe Bryant had just said. Paul. Gasol, almost Mickey. Kupchak's most proud one-door trade, he feels that it is because he helped the Lakers get this Spanish big man, that the Lakers can quickly revive and achieve a brilliant record of three finals and two championships.

But all of this, but was told by Kobe Bryant, it was all the credit of "that person", which made the "ambitious" Mickey. Kupchak for a moment, difficult to accept.

"I don't care if you believe it or not, but I'm here to advise you, don't think that you can do whatever you want when you sit in the position of general manager of the Lakers, because it is always the player who sweats when he plays and sweats." After saying that, Kobe Bryant "snapped" and hung up the phone.

This scene was recalled again, which made Kobe's already unkind face suddenly become even more cold.

But in an instant, as if he remembered something, he walked to the Spaniard's side alone and said, "Paul, you and Castro ......"

When the Spaniard heard this, his shooting hand twitched slightly, and then he smiled reluctantly: "It's okay, Kobe, me and her are completely finished." ”

"Well, I was too negligent to think of Shannon. Brown is one such person, sorry man, I'm sorry. ”

"Kobe, where did you go? How can you be blamed for this kind of thing? I can only blame myself, I didn't see her true face clearly. The Spaniard said with a bitter look on his face.

"Navanessa and Castro's quarrel ......"

"It's gone, it's all gone, Kobe, you don't have to blame yourself too much, if Vanessa hadn't told me all this, I would have been kept in the dark like a fool, in the end, I should thank you."

"Nope." Kobe Bryant shook his head and said, "I've asked management to trade him." ”

"Thanks, Kobe, that's enough for me, really." Paul. Gasol said gratefully.

But at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded:

"Who are you??? Why are you standing here without permission??? ”
