Chapter 33: Kobe's Retirement Tour (This chapter pays tribute to Kobe)

Fisher found it increasingly difficult to control the situation on the court, not only could he not control the direction of the game, but even the players began to disobey his tactical commands, led by Anthony, but he did not have the courage to hold Anthony to the bench to set an example.

In his opinion, all this is Wang Zhuo's ghost behind his back, but the team did win, which made him as the head coach of the team also relieve a lot of pressure on public opinion, and he even began to wonder if this Knicks team was really as Wang Zhuo said, the effect of the run-and-bomb tactics would be better.

A team's victory tends to make people forget all the unpleasantness, and the Knicks are certainly no exception, with the gloom of the victory over the Washington Wizards and the loss to the Atlanta Hawks completely wiped out.

However, the Knicks' next schedule is not easy, first at home against the San Antonio Spurs, and then will go to Cleveland to challenge the Cavaliers with a luxury triumvirate, due to the difference in hard power, the Knicks are united, and they tried their best to fail to create a miracle, losing to the Spurs and the Cavaliers with a score of 84:94 and 86:96 respectively.

The first time he saw Popovich with a gray beard, Wang Zhuo really understood what it meant to be unfazed, which was different from the Zen master's quiet victory thousands of miles away, the entire Spurs team was rock solid from beginning to end, although the overall score was not high, but they were able to start from small details and use defense to limit the Knicks as a whole like a headless fly.

If the Hawks are holding the Knicks to fight, then the Spurs are hanging the Knicks up, so even Wang Zhuo has no way to deal with it, because this Spurs are too strong.

The Cleveland Cavaliers are completely talented, although Kyrie Irving is out due to injury, but the Cavaliers, who have experienced the Finals, know how to control the rhythm on the court, LeBron James has become more mature, taking the initiative to give up gorgeous statistics, and doing his best to connect this team into a whole, Wang Zhuo understands that such a James will be more terrifying, even more terrifying than when he was in the Miami Heat.

After losing to the Spurs and Cavaliers, the Knicks defeated the Milwaukee Bucks again at home, with a 3-3 record, although only a 50% win rate, but the opponents were all playoff teams from last season, which was full of gold.

Two days after the victory over the Bucks, the Knicks will host the Los Angeles Lakers, which should have been a regular season with no special meaning, but because Kobe Bryant made a statement at the beginning of the regular season that he would retire at the end of this season, coupled with Kobe's relationship with Zen Master and Fisher, this seemingly ordinary regular season has some more digging gimmicks.

Before the game officially began, Wang Zhuo had already seen the unparalleled appeal of the former league leader, and Knicks fans held signs with slogans such as "Black Mamba Slow Walking", "Beloved Kobe", "Love of My Life" in the audience, apparently expressing their reluctance to Kobe's last visit to Madison Square Garden Arena.

In addition to Michael Jordan, the only player who can play away from home is probably Kobe Bryant who has such an influence.

In the face of the lights, media and camera focus, Kobe Bryant seemed very calm, and after hugging, talking, and laughing with the Zen master who came to say goodbye to him, he returned to the court to do a simple pre-game training.

Wang Zhuo observed Kobe Bryant so closely for the first time, and the 37-year-old man has long since lost his youthful frivolity, replaced by the maturity and stability that a man of this age should have.

PS: Break free is not afraid of being complained about, before 2010, break free is a black, although never directly hack Kobe Bryant in the forum or post bar, but when chatting with friends, he often expresses his disdain for Kobe, but at the moment when the Lakers were swept by the Mavericks, there is still a trace of heartache to break free, with the fall of the Lakers and Kobe Bryant's injury, Break Free gradually began to change his view of this fighter who fought all his life, and it was more of respect.

"Defeat Kobe Bryant to earn his respect and bid farewell to your heroes with victory!"

Before going on the field, Wang Zhuo wrote this sentence on the tactical board.

Wang Zhuo is not the head coach, if he were the head coach, he would definitely shout at the players: "If you are soft-hearted because the enemy standing in front of you is a great hero you admire, then you will never be a big hero like him, remember, take back the damn home field that belongs to you, otherwise, you will lose this home field forever!" ”

If Fisher is paranoid, then Kobe Bryant is definitely a paranoid, in order to win victory and honor, he can do whatever it takes to train, work hard, and improve himself, and it is his fighting spirit that has led to today's endless glory.

Kobe's spirit not only affects a generation of fanatical fans, but also affects a generation of young players, Wang Zhuo knows that many players on the Knicks are Kobe fans, so he reminded the players not to relax because the opponent is Kobe, not only will not win Kobe's respect, but will only get Kobe's contempt, because Kobe's basketball spirit is only allowed to win, not to lose.

With Wang Zhuo's warning, the players were all in high spirits and gearing up, ready to prove themselves in front of Kobe, so from the moment of the opening, the situation on the court was doomed.

The players of the Lakers team are very cooperative, and they keep playing for Kobe Bryant who visited the Madison Square Garden arena for the last time, but the Knicks players seem to be against Kobe, and there are always people who are inseparable from each other.

Due to the impact of injury, Kobe's body did not return to 100% condition, so although he had the intention to kill the enemy, he was unable to recover, and finally hit an ultra-low shooting percentage of only 6 of 19 shots.

And Kobe's low shooting percentage seems to have become the epitome of the whole game, although the pace on the court is very fast, but the fierce physical confrontation makes this game completely reduced to a battle of iron and free throws.

The game is not too much to watch, but who cares, as long as the fans see the hero in their hearts and bid farewell to their hero, this is the greatest viewing value.

The Knicks sent Bryant away with a modest victory, and since then, there has been no more athletic figure running in the purple and gold No. 24 jersey at Madison Square Garden Arena.

"Thank you to the fans in New York, their enthusiasm is infectious, it makes me feel at home, and if God gives me another chance, I will still choose to stand on the court and dedicate my youth and blood to the fans!"

After the game, Kobe Bryant and the entire Knicks hugged one by one, and then said affectionately to the media.

Wang Zhuo also had a big hug with Kobe, he clearly saw the tears rolling in Kobe's eyes, and he understood that they were the tears of the hero's curtain call.
