Chapter 43: Kobe Bryant

Some people say that the Los Angeles Lakers in 2008 were disappointed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

That's right, in June, they lost to the Celtics and missed out on the O'Brien Cup.

The sixth game of the finals, a 39-point fiasco, was a disgrace.

How many people can't forget this scene: Kobe Bryant wore a purple and gold jersey, bowed his head, and walked down the players' tunnel.

Behind him, the North Shore Garden transforms into a sea of green celebrations.

At the press conference, he uttered this wise quote in a self-deprecating tone: "Second place only means that you are the number one loser!" ā€

He looked extremely lonely.

This may be the lowest point of Kobe, and he should be more miserable than the days after O'Neal's departure.

In '05, the Lakers were saddled with Brian Grant's $13.23 million junk contract, and he was accompanied by the immature Butler and Odom.

He can say to himself: it's okay, I'm still young, everything is in time.

In 06, during the reconstruction period, he scored 62 points in the third quarter, 30 points in a single quarter, 81 points in a single game, 50+ points in 4 consecutive games, and an average of 35.4 points per game. However, in the playoffs, it was directed by the Suns in a shocking 1-3 reversal.

He can say to himself: It's okay, I'm strong enough to help me and win.

In 07, he lost again in the first round, and the team still did not improve, he was in a hurry and began to force the palace management.

At this time, he was isolated and restless, but he could still say to himself: It's okay, failure is the mother of success, just give me some time.

Premature success fed his ambitions, and he set his sights on surpassing Michael Jordan.

However, it often backfires.

In '08, he finally waited for his natural match - Pau Gasol.

This year, the Lakers made great progress until they met the Green Shirts formed by the Big Three.

The dream of Boston was shattered, and he was left with only a desolate back.

He fought, but lost.

There are no excuses.

What else could he say to himself this time?

Fortunately, the head coach of the Lakers is a Zen master.

On the way back to Los Angeles, the Zen master said to him, "Hey Kobe, my boy, you don't need to be so upset!" Garnett has been in cold Minnesota for 12 years, and Pierce has been waiting here for 9 years, can't you afford to wait so long for them to finally get their way? ā€

"However, they stepped on my corpse to get on the throne, and I was very unwilling."

"It's okay, we'll step back next year!"

In this way, he regained his confidence and became stronger.

……

On December 19th, entering the winter, even Miami, located in the southernmost part of Florida, began to feel a little sluggish.

There are fewer pedestrians on the streets, and there are fewer cars.

However, the beach is bustling again, and more and more people come to enjoy the warmth of the winter sun.

At night, the American Airlines Arena.

The cold wind could not dampen the enthusiasm of the fans, and the stadium was full and full of people early.

The rise of the Heat is like a ray of light shining into their hearts, which is like a feeling of losing and regaining - two years ago they were still champions, but last year they suddenly became the bottom of the league, and the big ups and downs of life are too exciting!

Of course, it's not just this that attracts them.

Heat vs. Lakers.

Wade vs. Kobe.

In fact, this topic is the real theme of tonight.

After the ceremony, Spo did a pre-match mobilization, and the game began immediately.

Both sides give a list of starters.

Heat: Chalmers, Wade, Beasley, Haslem, Jamal Margloyle.

Lakers: Derrick Fisher, Kobe, Luke Wharton, Gasol, Andrew Bynum.

Marion's suspension ended in the last game against the Bucks, but his status was reduced to a bench, but he didn't have anything to say, after all, he hit people first, and Riley didn't order him to freeze him!

Of course, the management's hand is also a bit of a gesture of favor to Beasley.

Margloyle is back from injury, but it is unknown how much success the 31-year-old still has left.

The Lakers started with a fixed lineup, and with this lineup, they have a good record of 21 wins and 3 losses this season, which is terrifyingly strong.

"Michael, fight well, the opponent is a tough bone!" Before the game, Wade patted Beasley's ass in encouragement.

Beasley smiled and relaxed, "Well, come on!" ā€

Backbite!

After the referee's whistle, the Lakers won the ball first.

Bynum's little young bounce beats the old bone Margloyle, and there is no pressure at all.

Fisher played the ball to Gasol in the middle of the half, who played the ball.

Bynum was under the basket, Fisher and Wharton shrank into the bottom corner, and Bryant carried Wade in the low post on the right side and began to ask for the ball.

"You guard against your own people, leave this guy to me!" Wade shouted loudly, and then he changed his serious expression and began to defend closely.

Gasol pulled the ball to the other side after passing, and Bryant began to play with his back.

"Seriously, Dwyan, you're too short!" Bryant joked, he carried it twice, then forced a turnover jumper and scored twice with the ball.

Wade jumped hard and almost got his hat on the hook.

0 to 2.

"Hmph, you won't have such good luck next time!" Wade was a little annoyed and retorted.

When Kobe Bryant heard this, he spread out his hands, as if to say: What can you do with me?

"This guy is really hateful!" Wade gritted his teeth.

"Hey, Dwyan, do you need my help?" Beasley came over and asked.

Wade waved his hand and said, "I can do it!" ā€

Beasley shook his head helplessly, thinking: I always say how stubborn and tough Kobe Bryant is, but in fact, he is not the same!

The Heat attacked, with Wade and Margloyle blocking and dismantling in the middle.

The Lakers decided to switch defenses, so a dislocation was formed, and Wade faced Bynum and played big.

Wade, who was holding his breath, slashed at the young Bynum, and after a shake of his shoulder, he accelerated directly to break through, and Bynum was thrown away by two steps.

After passing Bynum, Wade came to the penalty area, although there was still a Gasol standing under the basket, Wade was not afraid at all, he rushed up with a ruthless heart, and it was directly a split dunk.

Backbite!

The referee whistles at the same time, 2+1!

Wade waved his arm vigorously, showing off his muscles in front of the camera.

Beasley immediately rushed over to celebrate, "Dwyan, you're simply inhuman!" ā€

"Don't you too!" Wade rolled his eyes in annoyance, and he wouldn't forget Beasley's ungodly dunks.

Other teammates also ran over to high-five, and Wade's dunk boosted morale a lot.

Under the basket, Gasol hadn't recovered yet, Kobe Bryant walked over and hugged his shoulders and whispered a few words, probably saying something encouraging!

Then, Wade took the free throw and hit it.

3 to 2.

When it was the Lakers' turn to attack, Bryant dribbled through the half.

After landing in the position, he motioned to his teammates with his eyes to pull away, and the meaning was too obvious - Lao Tzu wanted to play singles!

Outside the three-point line at the top of the arc, he broke through the frame, and then played a large string of crotch dribbles, Wade was a little confused, he saw the flaw and dribbled to the left, and then shot directly with three points, Wade didn't keep up, and the basketball hollowed into the net.

The pose is picturesque.

3 to 5.

Wow, that's too sideways, isn't it? Beasley thought to himself.

He has never encountered this type of player in previous games, Wade is half at most, but Wade's horizontal is a breakthrough horizontal, which is completely different from Kobe.

In fact, Durant is also counted, but the current Durant is still too tender, so the visual effect is much worse.

"Michael, give me the ball when you get it, I'm going to fight back!" Wade said lightly with a gloomy face.

Every time he meets Kobe, he always has to change into a Super Saiyan!

Beasley nodded, then stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, a gesture he would only do when he was excited.

Bryant?

Lakers?

Great, it's going to be an interesting game today!
