Chapter 482: The Peak of Honor Means the End (Part 2)

The news that Kobe Bryant was elected MVP of the regular season in the 15~16 season was announced in the morning, and in the evening, the Lakers' schedule had one game to play, which was the third game of the series. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info For Kobe, this is an important day, because at Oracle Arena, Kobe Bryant has to receive the MVP trophy.

In fact, Kupchak was a little unhappy with this arrangement, and Kupchak felt that the league should announce the MVP award in advance, and then present the trophy before the second game, so that Kobe Bryant could receive the award at home at the Staples Center, instead of spending such an important moment at the Oracle Arena away.

However, Kupchak can't sway the league's mind, and they need to follow the league's plan to let Kobe Bryant claim his second MVP trophy at Oracle Arena. The management of the alliance has some opinions on the arrangement of the alliance for the sake of publicity. However, Kobe Bryant, as the protagonist, has no opinion on this, because for him, being able to win the MVP is enough to make him excited and satisfied, and he doesn't care much about where to receive the award.

At four or five o'clock in the afternoon, the media held a pre-game press conference for Kobe, and reporters and media from all over the world rushed to interview him, after all, MVP is the biggest honor. For some players, it's even more important than winning the MVP of the Finals.

"Kobe, is this result very surprising? What do you think is the most important moment in your career that a moment like today's will be? ”

Faced with such a problem, Kobe, as the protagonist, said with a smile: "I think it's No.1 because it's impossible to do." Really, such an honor is really incredible for a 38-year-old man. Throughout my life, I would like to put it at the top of my list. ”

"It's an impossible moment, and if I didn't have these teammates, I would never have gotten this MVP. I am really, really grateful to God for His care for me to be able to improve my career towards the end of my life. Admittedly, my teammates around me are going to be great players in the future, and as a veteran guy who leads the way, my biggest feeling is that I am lucky......"

Bryant kept repeating the message of "No way!" ”

Obviously, this is the truest portrayal of Kobe's heart, even if he is so competitive, even if he never thinks that he is weaker than any player. But at the age of 38, Kobe Bryant has already given up the fight for MVP, because it is an impossible feat. However, to everyone's shock, such a moment still appeared, Kobe Bryant became the oldest MVP, and he was even better than his former teammate Karl Malone!

In the past, more and more demon was a term used to describe Duncan, a monster. But now, Kobe Bryant has also been crowned with such a comment. Because judging from his MVP performance in the regular season, it is not something that ordinary people can accomplish.

"Kobe, if there is really one person you are most grateful for, who do you think is this person in your heart?"

The ESPN reporter threw out a question, which is a difficult question, at least for Bryant, which should not be very easy to answer.

Because for all the players on the Lakers team right now, Kobe Bryant won the MVP, and it's hard for him to say who he is most grateful for, because that's unfair to these players who have put in the effort.

"I'm grateful to everyone!" Kobe Bryant's face looked extremely serious, and after a pause, he said: "If you have to have such a person, I think he is Chu." I thought those two injuries in '12 and '13 would be a turning point in my career, and I wondered if I would retire because of that. However, Chu's appearance saved all this, without him, there would be no Kobe Bryant standing here today, there would be no MVP, let alone the championships that he keeps winning, and all kinds of honors......"

These words are Kobe Bryant's heartfelt words, the achievements he made in the last three years of his career completely changed his life, and he was able to become one of the greatest players in history, all of which are due to Chu Xuan. Just like he was able to get the MVP this year, it was entirely because of Chu Xuan's tactical focus, because if it weren't for Chu Xuan's absolute core style of play this season, then he would not have played a 20+5+7 performance, so as to win the MVP at the age of 38.

When hearing Kobe's evaluation, Chu Xuan couldn't help but smile slightly, and didn't say anything about it. As for Kobe's thanks, Chu Xuan felt that he was at ease and could accept it. You know, if it weren't for his sudden appearance, there would be no Kobe Bryant, who is heading for retirement in a perfect way. Because Chu Xuan clearly remembers that in the previous life, Kobe Bryant retired this season.

……

The press conference was held for a short time, and Kobe Bryant's MVP had a great impact on the Lakers. The eyes of a group of young people were full of pure fanaticism, as if they also had a desire for trophies in their hearts.

Feeling all this, Chu Xuan said to everyone very casually: "Kobe Bryant is 38 years old, and he is on his way to retirement. This year is already the pinnacle of his honors, and in the future, these honors will fall back to you, I hope you can all work harder, and I hope that my Lakers team can have several regular season MVPs. ”

Chu Xuan's seemingly casual words touched the hearts of all Lakers players a lot.

They feel that what Chu Xuan said is right, you know, Kobe Bryant will be a year older next season, and it is impossible for him to play like he is now, you know, now Noel has faintly surpassed Kobe. If Chu Xuan hadn't done it deliberately, this year's MVP might have been Noll or Lavin's. It can be said that it was the sacrifices of others that made Kobe Bryant's second MVP...... Now, Chu Xuan said this, which undoubtedly made everyone's hearts fanatical. Obviously, Chu Xuan's meaning is already extremely clear, that is, Kobe Bryant will not win these big honors again, and they will win these awards next. Therefore, whoever can play better will have a better chance of becoming the new core of the Lakers, and this is their chance to become an All-Star or even a supergiant.

Everyone began to frenzy, maybe it was the stimulation of Chu Xuan's seemingly casual remarks, or maybe it was the stimulation of Kobe Bryant's MVP, today's Oracle Arena is destined to not be so peaceful.

At 7 p.m., the countdown to the game began.

Bryant received the MVP trophy on the center court of Oracle Arena, and surprisingly, the Warriors fans also gave Bryant a round of applause to pay tribute to the 38-year-old veteran.

However, this etiquette lasted only a moment, and when the award ceremony ended, the atmosphere was immediately replaced by strong hostility. Oracle Arena is like a big enemy, and it has completely lost the good atmosphere it had before.

In today's game, neither side made any lineup changes, and the tactics were similar to the previous two games, but there were a few minor changes.

In the first half of the game, relying on the magical three-point performance of the Splash Brothers, the Warriors took an 11-point lead. However, in the second half, the Lakers launched a ferocious counterattack, and Knoll dominated the court, and finally relied on a magical offensive performance to help the Lakers defeat the Warriors 120-104 away and get the series match point.

Knoll was 14-of-22 from the field, including 2-of-2 from three-point range and 6-of-6 from the free-throw line, contributing 36 points and 10 rebounds. Today, Chu Xuan used Noel to play against Azero, and as a result, Azeroth scored 0 points, but grabbed 13 rebounds.

In addition to Noll, Kobe contributed a triple-double of 12 points, 10 rebounds and 12 assists, and Curry, who was opposite Kobe, scored 25 points on 7-of-10 three-pointers. LaVine scored 24 points on 9-of-16 shooting and Thompson had 20. Downs had a double-double of 11 points and 10 boards.

After the game, when asked who was the biggest contributor to the game, Chu Xuan's answer surprised everyone: "Yang Nice is the best, and his contribution is not something that can be reflected in the data." I'm sure it's not just me, it's everyone on the Lakers who thinks so. ”

Chu Xuan said this, in fact, it was not an exaggeration. In the first three games of the series, Noll played a crucial role in Durant's defense, and in the three games, Antetokounmpo allowed the offensive killer Durant to score only 17 points, 16 points, and 14 points, respectively.
