Chapter 103: James's Thoughts

Kobe Bryant could only come off the bench in his rookie season, he scored little when he didn't have much time, saw Iverson on the court like a fish in water, crazy scoring, Kobe angrily smashed the table, smashed the TV, and then spent more time training hard, and finally at the home of the Philadelphia 76ers, in front of his hometown parents Iverson, since then Kobe and Iverson have been called lifelong enemies.

LeBron James, before winning the championship, has been stuck out of the Finals by the Celtics for many years, after which he left Miami, and Wade, Bosh formed a Big 3, but was still led by the Celtics 3:2 in the Western Conference Finals, the terrible sixth game is still the Celtics' home court, the previous season has been defeated by the Mavericks in the Finals, he faced career advancement, in the sixth game, the gods went down to earth, played 45 points, 15 rebounds and 5 assists of epic playoff data. In the end, he won the series, and he fell to his knees and cried bitterly, and he finally defeated his lifelong enemy, Pierce.

The current Zhang Feng and Bauer can't be called the place of their lives no matter how they say it, but it is not clear in the future that the stage is not dominated by these two young people, and Barkley's statement is regarded as a joke by everyone.

There was a halftime pause, the Lakers lounge was unusually quiet, they were full of confidence and found themselves being hung and beaten, these young players thought that the last meeting their side lost 4 main players and won the game, this time the full lineup attack actually couldn't beat. This psychological gap made it impossible for them to adapt for a while, and the entire locker room was silent, and Zubac's breathing was heard by everyone.

Wharton watched the reaction of the Lakers players and was very happy, he is a coach who is good at finding benefits, and he thinks that it is much better to let the boys experience a state of confusion so early than to experience a state of confusion in the playoffs.

Wharton clapped his palms and said loudly: "BOYS, don't panic, we still have a great chance to win the game, if you turn the tables today, your career will be brighter in the future, let me tell you a reason, in the second half you fight hard, lose no loss, win you are developed, those who have a contract may receive endorsements, those who do not have a contract may get a contract, think about it, come on!"

After Wharton finished speaking, he looked at Ball and Ingram in a stunned manner, he regarded these two as the cornerstone of the Lakers' team, and he hoped that at such a moment, the two could stand up and encourage their teammates, and stand up and say a few words not only to boost morale, but also to develop their own leadership skills.

But unfortunately, Ingram pretended not to see his eyes, Ball directly lowered his head, and Wharton sighed in his heart, but he also understood that not every star can have the same perseverance as his teammate Kobe Bryant.

On the Kings' side, Carter was telling jokes to everyone in the lounge, Hill was discussing with Zhang Feng how to better pass the ball, and Randolph was showing Giles and Papayannis how to play more efficiently. David and Turner held the strategy board and leisurely compared how to face the Lakers in the second half of the adjustments they might make.

On the court, the stars who came to watch the game were chatting excitedly, LeBron leaned back in his chair, he suddenly thought of a question, turned to Anthony and asked: "Melo, why didn't the Knicks choose Zhang Feng in the first place."

Anthony looked embarrassed when he heard this, he didn't watch Zhang Feng's performance carefully, he felt that Zhang Feng's all-around data in the group confrontation of the Knicks tryout could not represent anything, Frank as his friend's younger brother, he naturally suggested that the senior management choose Frank. Although he can't be blamed entirely, he had to say perfunctory at the moment: "I don't know, you know that I was looking for a deal at the time, and the senior management did not communicate with me about this matter."

James nodded, as if to say, "I understand", and then got up and walked to Kobe's side.

"Dude, how is life in retirement?" asked James.

"It's cool, but seeing these young players fighting on the court makes me want to come back and play for a few more seasons," Kobe Bryant said with a smile.

"Zhang Feng is really good at playing, I heard that you have also opened a joint venture company, engaged in health care, let him adjust it for you," James quipped.

"That's right, why don't you also come and buy one, and now you still take the original shares" Kobe laughed.

"Yes, but then why did you see him like that in the first place" James turned to talk about Zhang Feng, and what he really wanted to ask was this key question.

Kobe Bryant looked at James and said, "I had a one-on-one fight with him, his skill level was comparable to me at my peak, and he helped me treat the injury, and then he showed his ambition at my house party, and I saw in him a combination of me and you."

Kobe Bryant's evaluation of Zhang Feng stunned James, James didn't expect Kobe's evaluation to be so high. If there is a player who is a combination of James and Kobe, it can only be described as terrifying.

James said a few more words to Kobe Bryant and walked away, he found a place with fewer people, dialed Rich Paul's phone, and said: "Zhang Feng doesn't seem to have officially signed with an agent, you go and see if you can sign him, the price is very high and acceptable, I think he will be the first person in the NBA after me and Curry"

"Don't you have to pursue Lonzo Bauer anymore?" asked Rich Paul.

"No need, go all out to pursue Zhang Feng, he's worth ten Lonzo Ball," James replied calmly.

After the halftime ended, the two teams returned to the court, and the Lakers did not make much adjustments because of the poor first half, they still focused on the interior, relying on Ingram and Kuzma to score, and Lonzo Ball did only a small amount of playmaking.

There was no relaxation or adjustment on the Kings' side, even though Ingram relied on singles to Justin to tear up the Kings' interior defense many times, and the Kings have long insisted on using a joint defense to defend.

The game between the two teams entered the fourth quarter in a blink of an eye, and the score remained unchanged, with the Kings leading the Lakers 82-70.

After a pause in the fourth quarter, Justin did next to Zhang Feng and asked, "Didn't you say let me get back to the court in the second half?" If I don't act, I won't be able to get my game back", Justin is afraid that going into garbage time soon after entering the fourth quarter, and Ingram will have no chance when he gets off the court.

Zhang Feng patted Justin on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'll let you get back face immediately."

"How do you do that," Justin asked, asking this question on behalf of his own admitting that he was not as strong as Ingram, in his thoughts, he couldn't play at all on his own, and he couldn't defend at all, and he was curious about what kind of way Zhang Feng would use to help him get back face.

Zhang Feng showed a mysterious smile, patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, everything is with me." ”
