Chapter 112: Crazy Proposal
Although it was the Lakers' last regular season game of the season, it didn't mean anything at all. Of course, just for the Lakers, the Thunder, as an opponent, still needs this kind of experience against strong teams.
The reason why this game doesn't mean anything to the Lakers is because he won't have any impact on the playoff standings. So far, the Lakers have won a total of 64 of their past 81 games, and they are firmly in first place in the West. The top spot in the league is still firmly held by the Cavaliers of the Little Emperor, who have a team-best record of 66-16, and even if the Lakers win this game, they will not surpass them.
If you only look at the West, the Lakers' record is even more dominant, and their number of wins is 10 wins ahead of the second-placed Nuggets, even if they lose this game to the third-to-last Thunder in the West, the first place in the West is still unshakeable.
In view of this situation, the players are generally not interested in training, and they are more concerned about the dinner after the game than the upcoming game. Although Li Chen didn't want to, but the time was indeed a bit of a coincidence, even if he stated that this was just his private banquet, but in the eyes of outsiders, this was the Lakers' oath meeting.
"Hey, rookie, come and see!" Kobe Bryant looked at Li Chen coming in from outside the arena in disappointment, this kid didn't know what was going on today, he ran to the door whenever he had free time, it seemed that he was waiting for someone.
"Why?" Li Chen replied angrily, he was in a very unhappy mood, the efficiency of the express delivery industry in Los Angeles was too low, and Amy's express delivery had not yet been delivered, you must know that it was close to noon.
Kobe Bryant knew Li Chen's surname, and he didn't care much about his appearance. The boss shook a newspaper in his hand, "I thought this game was meaningless, but now it seems that it is still somewhat useful!" ”
"What's the use? Win it, is the O'Brien Cup ours? Li Chen is very disdainful, the Thunder is not a playoff team, and this game will not affect the ranking, so what is the point!
Kobe Bryant threw the newspaper in his hand to the little brother, "Hey, the answer is on it, you can read it yourself!" ”
Is there really a play? Li Chen took the newspaper very curiously, "57 points, the distance between the Big Apple and Jordan!" ”
Ming Huanghuang's title almost didn't surprise him so much that his eyes fell, this is too, when did he even get Jordan involved, he didn't realize how many comparable surnames he had with Qiao Gang Leader. It's a bit credible to say that Kobe Bryant's words, after all, his actions are all with the old university, but Jordan, God knows how those media got involved, you must know that he hasn't even watched the game of the gang leader!
After reading the content carefully, he realized what was going on. Indeed, 57 points is a significant number for him, as long as he scores 57 points in this game, his average points per game this season will instantly rise to 20, and the comprehensive data is an amazing 20+5+5, which is Jordan's data that year.
However, Li Chen obviously has no interest in this matter, he doesn't think he has the level to score 57 points, although he broke out against the Timberwolves not long ago and cut the first 40 plus in his career, but that was done when he felt very good, and the premise is that the Timberwolves can't take out players who can limit themselves. But against the Thunder, Li Chen felt that such a good situation would not occur.
"57 points? They are kidding, I'm not you, 57 is almost an unattainable number for me now, of course, you hear me, I'm just talking about who I am! Li Chen said very frankly, although he can't do it now, he doesn't think he can't do it in the future.
"Indeed!" Kobe Bryant sighed, he knows Li Chen's strength best, and the boss also doesn't think that the younger brother now has the strength to score 57 points in a single game, after all, the previous feeling is very much in need of character accumulation.
However, Kobe Bryant actually took the initiative to talk to his younger brother about it, and there was naturally a reason. The boss smiled very deceitfully, "What if we don't care about winning or losing, and focus all the opportunities on you alone?" Then 57 points is not difficult, maybe 60, 70 is not impossible, or another 81! ”
It is undeniable that Kobe's words are very tempting to Li Chen, but he will not expose his surname under this kind of brain-dead proposal, and someone refused righteously, "You're kidding!" Coach, he's going to kill me! And, even if I get that many points, what's the point of losing the game! ”
"What if Phil doesn't care?" The boss dug a pit for the younger brother step by step, just waiting for him to jump in by himself, Li Chen's last sentence Kobe Bryant automatically ignored it, he didn't think it was the real idea of the younger brother.
Sure enough, when he heard that the old monk didn't care, Li Chen's eyes instantly lit up, "No, you mean coach him ......?" The madness of things made him dare not think about it anymore, and he felt as if he was dreaming!
"Oh my God, it would be great if that was the case!" Li Chen muttered to himself.
Seeing that the little brother had taken the initiative to jump into the pit he had buried for him, Kobe Bryant showed a conspiracy to succeed with a smile, and he woke up the little brother who was still in YY, "What do you think?" Kidding you, how could Phil do that, he's the head coach! ”
The boss's playful eyes made Li Chen couldn't help but give a middle finger, "Don't you think it's shameful to joke about a person who is living today, April Fool's Day has been a long time!" ”
"Is that so?" The boss smiled faintly, "I told that group of guys before, saying that I was going to give you all the opportunities to make a move in this game, and I mobilized them to do the same, but now it seems that there is no need!" Kobe Bryant turned around very chicly, he didn't have to think about it to guess the reaction of the little brother.
"Don't!" Li Chen hugged the boss's hand, "Dear Mr. Bryant, I apologize for my behavior just now, I want to score 57 points, smash all your shots to me, I don't mind!" ”
"But didn't you just say that there is no point in such a thing?" The boss once again occupied the commanding heights, condescendingly teasing the younger brother.
"How could it not be meaningful?" Li Chen's reaction looked as if he didn't remember saying that sentence at all, "This is 20+5+5, Jordan's data, how can it be meaningless?" ”
"But you're not afraid of the ridicule of the media? I'm sure those guys in Chicago are going to love making a big deal out of it! The boss's teasing continues.
"What are they?" Li Chen's cheekiness has already been kind-hearted to a certain extent, "Take your own 57 points and let them worship!" ”
The little brother's invulnerable appearance made Kobe Bryant laugh in his heart, and he released his nirvana, "I'm worried that this kind of naked scoring behavior will disappoint your fans, you must know that your professional attitude has always been criticized by people!" ”
For this question, Li Chen's reaction made the boss feel a little ashamed, "Hey, Kobe, you know me, I think those who support me also know that this is the most real me, what's wrong with brushing points, I just want to brush points, other people's opinions have never been important to me." ”
Li Chen did not shy away from other people's opinions at all, "I am different from you and Kevin, I can't do your persistence for more than ten years, basketball is not very sacred to me, the big apple that regards the outcome of the game as more important than life, obviously it won't be me, and I don't want to be like that!" ”
After a very impressive remark, someone instantly changed his appearance and looked at Kobe Bryant almost flatteringly, "Kobe, are the proposals you just said still valid?" ”
The huge contrast of the younger brother made the boss stunned for a while, and after a while, Kobe nodded, "Although I don't agree with everything you said, but as you said, this game is just a game, of course, only this one!" ”
Over lunch, the Lakers' players got together to discuss big plans for the evening.
As soon as Li Chen sat down with his dinner plate, Odom immediately came over, "What's the matter, the future average of 20+5+5 super rookies per game, you seem to be a little anxious?" Can't wait for the game to begin? ”
Bynum followed the words of the Grand Lama, "It's okay Cruz, you can definitely do it, don't talk about you, if you give me all the chances to shoot, I think I can get so many points, but it's a pity, today is not my life!" An Zhu thought that Li Chen was worried that he would not be able to score 57 points at night, so he encouraged his teammates smartly.
The old fish, who has the most experience in life, expressed great disappointment with Bynum's performance, "Andrew, can't you see that Cruze is waiting for someone, he has been constantly looking at the door of the arena since the morning, I think it should still be a very important person for him!" ”
The old fish's analysis was clear, and Bynum thought it was true, "Cruz, who are you waiting for, it won't be the legendary fourth girlfriend Taylor!" Oh God, forgive me, what evil my thoughts are! Anzhu prayed exaggeratedly, but it was clear that he had guessed wrong.
Li Chen looked at An Zhu's cuteness with disdain, he felt that it was better to say it, otherwise God knows how such a guy would make fun of himself, you must know that for these people who are stuck in the training hall all day long, any bit of gossip news is a topic worth talking about.
"Okay, I said, I'm waiting for the courier, and Amy told me in the morning that she sent me a gift!"
Wow, the restaurant exploded instantly, and Vujacic pretended to be very envious, "It's so enviable, Amy she hasn't forgotten your birthday gift in Italy!" Let's guess what it will be? ”
Kobe Bryant was not shocked, "I guess it's a Marasati sports car, that's the first choice for my lover!" Bryant, who has a love for sports cars, firmly believes in his answer, "The Cruze's car is so miserable, is that also a car?" ”
Li Chen looked at the boss very angrily, "Amy, where did she get so much money, besides, is my car so bad?" I think it's pretty handy! ”
Odom instantly burst into laughter, "Yes, at that speed, even you will feel comfortable driving a second-hand Beetle, but Cruze is telling the truth, I don't think Amy will be that vulgar!" ”
"And what about your opinion?" Kobe Bryant was very unhappy that the big lama dared to say that he was vulgar.
"An oil painting depicting the enchanting scenery of the Mediterranean, two young men and women hugging each other in the sunset, a seagull or two passing in the air, and in the distance, a small boat symbolizing love and hope slowly sails towards the sea!" Odom was still immersed in his own associations, and indeed his thoughts were very elegant.
"You lost sleep last night, didn't you?" Fisher looked at Odom suspiciously, "Are you sure you're not dreaming?" ”
"You say," the voice of the Great Sage sounded from the side, "could it be a beautiful woman from the Mediterranean?" I've heard that the women there are the most charming! ”
"You also lost sleep last night!" Gasol despised the ignorance of the Great Sage, "French women are the most charming, Italy produces melancholy handsome guys, and of course, Spain also produces handsome guys!" The sister-in-law did not forget to elevate herself while disdainful.
In the midst of everyone's discussion, the courier carrying the answer is late!
"Hello, there is your courier!" (To be continued.) )
