Chapter 197: It's Over (2/3)
Bryant talked to the team doctor next to him for several minutes, but the other party's head was shaking as if it was not drumming.
"If you have to stick to the game, I don't guarantee that you may retire early," the team doctor was impatient with the black mamba, and directly left a sentence to observe his reaction.
"Ah, forget it...... I'm just talking...... "The Black Mamba in the locker room would love to go back and finish the game right away." After applying the ice, he had the illusion that he should be fine.
But the team doctor knew that Kobe's season was coming to an end. And it takes a few months to recuperate during the holidays...... At this time, Kobe Bryant is at his peak! It's not worth it to retire like that.
"Vincent, come here...... Let's take a look at it in the evening, book your ticket in advance, and after returning to Los Angeles, if you have fun in the next few days, you have an outline of what to do, and we'll discuss it when you get on the plane. Oh! Remember, avoid the players"
It didn't take long for Bryant to follow the staff to the hospital. And Zhou Yang and Kobe Bryant's front and back feet, Kobe raised his feet and left here not long after Zhou Yang entered the house with several staff members in a huff......
Big Ben and Zhou Yang were directly sentenced to malicious fouls and were punished on the spot! These Lakers staff members wanted to maintain order with their colleagues on the court at first, but seeing Zhou Yang's current appearance, they were really afraid that he would go to Wallace after leaving the court......
If Kobe Bryant saw Zhou Yang coming in, he would definitely punch him a few times with the support of the staff...... It's nothing if you go down by yourself, aren't there still you and O'Neill on the field?! What Kobe didn't know was that in fact, when Big Ben went to drag him to the ground, several Lakers players took action......
The Zen master stood there for a long time, and he knew that the finals were over before he instructed Vincent. Even if the game is forced to stop and play again, the Lakers will not have much chance of winning.
Several referees communicated with the Lakers for a while and discussed for a while, and finally because the Lakers still had 12 players in the third lineup. It is possible to play, so the game continues......
When the game came back, the Lakers found that the Pistons seemed to be much milder. Their purpose was achieved. That's to take down several of the Lakers' best characters. And then come and play against such a Laker.
O'Neal is like Carter of the New Jersey Nets in front of him, and the Pistons dare not mess with ...... The final match ended with 109:89. At the end of the game, the Lakers were very quiet, and the silence was a little depressing.
The Pistons have since changed their style of play this season and established another playoff enemy. This beam is considered to be settled. It's nothing for players like Kobe Bryant and O'Neal who have been through the storm. On the contrary, the Lakers have gained too much this season.
But the rest of the players don't think so. Bryant both smiled when he saw Odom in the hospital room. Odom smiled more wryly. He went from the excitement at the beginning to the quiet watching the whole game.
Originally, after the finals, the players of the two teams should communicate with each other. But on the Pistons' side, only Billups and O'Neal looked at each other, and the two men walked over and shook hands.
"You're playing well. But...... What your team did today, the Lakers will double down next season," Shaq whispered to Billups as soon as he finished his previous sentence.
"Shall we ...... See you next season? Seeing the big shark nod, Billups also turned and left. His mood is a little complicated now, but more than that, it's really exciting! Regardless of the rest, he has to experience the taste of winning the championship first!
In this game, the Pistons Rashid got 12 points, 7 rebounds and 3 blocks! McDyce had 6 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists, and Prince had 24 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists! Billups 31 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals! Evans 19 points and 5 assists!
On the Lakers' side, O'Neal had 20 points, 16 rebounds and 6 blocks! Wharton had 7 points, 2 rebounds and 9 assists! Cook had 5 points, 4 rebounds and 1 block, Fisher had 9 points and 2 rebounds, and Smush had 26 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists!
The team's main scoring points after the absence of Meme, Odom, Kobe, and Zhou Yang fell to Shaq and Smush. Wharton mainly organizes the team. The other three players were completely killed. By the last six minutes of the fourth quarter, the Lakers were already in garbage time.
The reason why Billups feels that there are mixed emotions in it is because the Pistons have been a bit of a strong end this season. At this time, more than half of Detroit's players over the age of 30 are over. I am also 30 years old.
And it's different for the Lakers, except for O'Neal and Fisher, the other players are all in their 20s! Players who are close to 30 years old can play! And players in their early 20s also have players like Zhou Yang and Vujasic!
If the team does not speed up the operation of players, it is estimated that in a few years, the Pistons' combat strength will come down.
Zhou Yang and Mime were assigned to a ward...... Odom and Bryant were in a three-person ward. This Detroit hospital may be old, but it feels big.
Because of the hassle, the four of them would wait a few days before flying back to Los Angeles. I heard Vinson, the assistant coach next to the Zen master, say that the Lakers will send a plane to pick them up.
After arriving at the hospital, it took almost an hour before the pain in Zhou Yang's body slowly became stronger. At this time, his face was already swollen and had two serious wounds. The scratches on the chest and thighs were less severe.
This time it really him off! For the Lakers, they've experienced two games of this intensity, and both times the Lakers won championships. At the time, the young Kobe Bryant and the big shark who was in his prime both knew how intense the scene was.
Basketball in the league today is much less confrontational than it was in Jordan's time. Both O'Neill and the veteran players from that era say that it is much softer to watch the players play slowly in the game now, and the championship is much softer.
But when the Lakers encountered a game of this intensity again after a few years, the other players were still very uncomfortable.
There are many reasons for this to make the intensity of the defense in the game less fierce than before. For example, at that time, the game did not score a lot in basketball, but more of the physical confrontation of the players on the court. Such a game will have some resistance in terms of spectacle and NBA promotion to overseas markets.
If you like violent fighting, you can go to boxing and other fighting matches. And this is the stage of basketball, and the beautiful offense, smooth coordination and coach's tactics are very interesting.
Linda had already cried a few times in her room at this time, and her eyes were red from crying at this time. Seeing the live fight at that time, she thought she was dreaming at first.
But when she came to her senses, she had to rush to Los Angeles. When I got home and started to pack up, I received a call from my classmates, saying that the current Lakers are in Detroit. Hearing this, Linda sat directly on the bed.
