Chapter 14: Ending Back to Back
'They played a great game, especially Tony, who showed amazing form and took responsibility for the team. We were lucky to win this game www.biquge.info we were lucky to win this game. ”
Speaking of the game in his post-match press conference, Ewing said that he was always as good as usual and that Ewing has always been a good gentleman in this league, which doesn't match the look he looks like a gorilla.
When it comes to Tony, he praised Tony's performance vigorously, but kept silent about his brutal stats of 40 points and 12 boards.
This guy can't be called pretending to be forced anymore, he has become a force himself.
Tony complained secretly, but at the next Lakers press conference, in the face of the swarm of reporters, his answer was also very tonal.
"We lost the ball, that's the short answer, it doesn't matter how nice the stats you get, a loss is a loss."
He didn't want to be the center of public opinion, so he used the excuse of losing the game and quietly skipped his excellent performance. He's very handy at distraction.
Bryant locked himself in the training gym, and he was even absent from the post-game press conference.
He didn't play well in this game, scoring a measly 10 points on 4-of-17 shooting, while Alan Houston, who was opposite him, scored 23 points on 9-of-15 shooting, and if he had made a few more shots and defended Allan a few more, maybe the outcome of this game would have been different.
Although Coach Harris did not blame Kobe Bryant and comforted him, Kobe's paranoid personality simply could not forgive himself for playing such an ugly game.
He forced himself not to go back to the hotel to sleep without hitting 1,000 balls.
Seeing Kobe Bryant practicing shooting alone, Harris didn't stop him anymore, but he couldn't help but be a little worried, after all, this kid had just played his third NBA game, and he was afraid that this pressure would crush Kobe.
As the night deepened, everyone drifted off to sleep, except for the training hall in Madison Square Garden, where the lights were still bright, and the faint sound of a basketball hitting the ground could be heard.
And Tony, after this game, his whole body was almost prostration, and when he returned to the hotel, he quickly fell asleep.
The Lakers get up early the next morning to fly to Charlotte, where they will next take on the Hornets back-to-back.
Bryant was the first to arrive at the airport, and there was no trace of tiredness on his face.
Doesn't this guy have to sleep?
Everyone has this question in their hearts, God knows what time Kobe Bryant practiced last night, and now he is still in good spirits, you know, they haven't slept enough yet.
......
The Hornets lost their star Larry Johnson this season, and their strength plummeted, and it is clear that they are rushing to sign for the top pick this season.
However, because it was back-to-back games, the Lakers were not in very good shape, and the two teams were in a dilemma of frequent iron from beginning to end, and Tony was no longer as brave as he was in the previous game, scoring 10 points and 10 rebounds in a decent manner, and his shooting percentage was also surprisingly low, shooting 3 of 11.
But fortunately, the Lakers' defense did a good job, and Kobe Bryant became the NVP of the game, scoring 24 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists on 10-of-16 shooting, and he led the Lakers to a difficult 88-78 victory over the Hornets with his excellent performance.
Aside from Kobe's tough performance, it was arguably an ugly game.
But overall, the Lakers still exceeded fans' expectations, winning one of their two road games and temporarily sitting second in the West with a 3-1 record.
They can get the rest of the day next, and the day after tomorrow is the home game, and the Lakers go home.
Kobe Bryant and Toni became the heroes of the Lakers, and many fans spontaneously came to the airport to welcome their heroes back.
I don't know if I was dazzled, Tony seemed to see a familiar figure in the crowd, he stopped and looked for a long time, and finally found that familiar figure behind a few crazy naked uncle fans.
Jessica also arrived at the airport.
Tony noticed that Jessica seemed to be saying something to himself, and he couldn't hear Jessica's voice because of the distance, but he still recognized it from the shape of Jessica's mouth, which was "I didn't go." ”
Tony smiled happily, what he had feared for the past few days had not happened.
"Stinky boy, what are you smirking at, as long as we continue to win, this kind of scene will be indispensable to you in the future." Harris kicked Tony, who looked like he had misunderstood Tony, who he thought was smiling because of the fans' welcome.
Naturally, Tony didn't defend anything, he winked mischievously at Jessica, and then left with the team on the team bus.
Harris also knew that the back-to-back trip was a bit exhausting for the players, so he didn't give the team any training assignments and gave the team a day off.
However, Bryant remained in the training gym, and training was rain or shine for him.
Coming out of the arena, Tony found Jessica waiting for him at the entrance of the hallway, which made him feel a little happy.
"I ran away from school." After getting into the car, Jessica smiled sweetly at Tony, "I have nowhere to go, I heard that you are back, so I came to look for you." ”
Looking at Jessica's angelic smile, Tony was a little distracted for a moment.
"What are you doing in a daze, driving?" Jessica saw Tony's expression and flicked her fingers on Tony's head, which brought Tony back to his senses.
Tony scratched his head, he was a little embarrassed.
The weather was nice today, and after a decent lunch at an Italian restaurant, they decided to go to California to relax on a beautiful beach.
They didn't have beach pants or swimsuits on the spot, but luckily, Tony found a store near the beach that specialized in selling these, and he bought himself a pair of beach pants, and Jessica picked out a bear bikini, which made Tony almost bleed from his nose.
Tony is tall and has a very beautiful muscle line, wearing only a pair of beach pants, revealing the toned muscles of his upper body, he has undoubtedly attracted the attention of many beach beauties, even Jessica, who has seen Tony's nakedness, has many little stars in his eyes.
However, Tony's eyes stayed on Jessica and could not be taken away, Jessica, who was only 15 years old, already had a hot body that made countless men crazy and women envious, God gave her an angelic face at the same time, and did not forget to create a devilish figure for her, coupled with an exotic chocolate complexion, covered by a suspender bear pattern bikini to cover the private parts of the body, Tony couldn't help but think.
Damn, it's wicked.
Perhaps discovering the countless female pervert stares that Tony had attracted, Jessica defiantly straightened her breasts and grabbed Tony's arm.
The combination of the golden boy and the girl soon became the focus of everyone on the beach.
