Chapter 814: The Wind in Los Angeles

Kobe Bryant has also been proud of the spring breeze recently, and it is already a great feat to lead the team to a victory on Chamberlain's turf.

According to ESPN's rankings, Oracle Arena, the home of the Warriors, is the most difficult home in the league to conquer, and there is no one!

"The loud cheers, the passionate DJ, entering this arena, you will think that you have entered the ancient Champa city, the sound of basketball hitting the floor, is like the sound of war drums, and those people on the Warriors are naturally the fierce generals who charge into battle! What they defend is the impregnable ancient city of Sparta, and the stadium of the Oracle Arena is Hot Springs. ”

This is ESPN's comment to Oracle Arena, the worst is the home court of the Nets, ESPN calls them the league's ATM, as long as you have a card in your hand, anyone can come here to get some money to spend, sometimes this ATM also plays activities, take one get one free!

Kobe Bryant's win on the road is not just a victory, but also because they have gained the initiative since then, yes, the Lakers still have three home court advantages behind, as long as they can win these three home games.

You know, Staples Arena is also the famous place of death in the league, maybe not as perverted as Oracle Arena, but to conquer this arena, you have to exchange your life.

After last season's dark Western Finals, Los Angeles fans finally saw the dawn of returning to the Finals, so Kobe Bryant was revered as a saint by the fans, and he was grateful to Dade for him, and he was almost set up a memorial arch.

"Los Angeles Sports" deliberately made a comparison, comparing Chamberlain with Kobe, saying: "Chamberlain's athleticism is definitely a phenomenon, his height, figure, bounce, basketball IQ are amazing, every night, his watch is the essence of human movies."

To be fair, he was stronger than Kobe, but he lacked the killer instinct and a brave heart. Kobe Bryant has a balance in his heart, the playoffs are heavier than the regular season, the finals are the most important, and the more important occasions like this, the better he plays.

Even though Chamberlain also had his stunner moments, imagine if you were the coach and in Game 7, Game 4, with 9 seconds left in the game and your team trailing by 1 point, who would you give the ball to? ”

The Los Angeles Sports Newspaper sold well in California and reached a wide audience, and when the Warriors bus entered the Four Seasons Plaza Hotel in Los Angeles, the long-standing media rushed to the players, throwing questions at the players.

Among them, what was thrown to Chamberlain was about the evaluation of him and Kobe Bryant in the "Los Angeles Sports Newspaper", someone asked: "Z, there are a hundred experts who say that Kobe is better than you, and you are not the best player in the league, what do you think about this?" ”

Chamberlain smiled: "Actually, there is no need to be so troublesome, as long as there is one person who proves that I am not the best player in the league." ”

Another reporter asked, "What do you think of the comparison between you and Kobe Bryant in the Los Angeles Sports Newspaper?" Who do you think your head coach will let make the final attack when your team is pushed down by one point in the final ten seconds? ”

Chamberlain shrugged and said, "You're asking the wrong question, man, our team will only win the opponent by a dozen points in the final quarter, and will not fall behind by one point, so we don't need to kill." Go back and look at the thirty-six strategies, there is a sentence on it that says very well, the confident coach never leads the team to risk death! ”

After the comparison between Kobe and Chamberlain came out, other media saw that fans liked to watch this, and immediately came out with comparisons of other players, of course, they must have compared Kobe, and then proved that Kobe Bryant is the best player in the league.

The first to lie down is James, and the little emperor will never be absent from such occasions, "California Sports News said: "James is also a very competitive opponent, he is about the same height as Kobe, but he still has infinite power, first-class defensive ability, and is a finisher with huge energy."

However, Bryant has better three-point ability, and his flexibility allows him to help defend or complement opponents in more positions. However, it is worth noting that when the Cavaliers and Lakers played each other, Kobe Bryant seemed to have more advantages, but he couldn't win much. ”

Chamberlain and James have been eliminated one by one, how can Kevin Durant, who is the biggest threat to Kobe Bryant at the current shooting guard position, who has booked a great spot, be left out?

So, "California Sports News" said on the second page: "Durant is one of the greatest players in the NBA in the future, and at 6-foot-9 tall but playing as a guard, he has excellent scoring ability." He's a threat from any position on the court, and Durant, who has learned to use his speed, allows himself to get more free throws.

However, Durant did not show his scoring consistency. He shot 50 percent from the field in the regular season, but his shooting dropped to 40 percent in the playoffs, and that was the first problem he had to solve.

He has many talents, but it takes more time to bring them to life. Gaining some weight of his own, he will be stronger and play more reasonably, which will make him a better finisher. ”

After comparing Wade, Anthony, Rose, Paul, Deron and others, California Sports News finally came to a conclusion, saying: "14 seasons of playing, injuries, tears, and criticism have made Kobe Bryant, a young superstar, the No. 1 player in the NBA." Every night, Kobe Bryant continues to bring us visual enjoyment with his high-level play, and even if you're not a Lakers fan, you can't help but fall in love with him. ”

However, this does not mean that Kobe's image in the media is high, because just a few days ago, the Los Angeles Supreme Court made a judgment, and the case of Kobe Bryant's abuse of the nanny was over, and Kobe lost the case.

This is also a recent big case in the NBA, which originated in March 2009, Kobe's former female nanny Gimenez sued Kobe and his wife in court, on the grounds that she had been repeatedly discriminated against and insulted by Kobe and Vanessa when she was working at Kobe's house, and Kobe Bryant, a billionaire, and his wife also broke their promise not to buy health insurance for Gimenez, and asked her to do some jobs that ordinary people hated very much.

In addition, Gimenez also said that the Kobe family still owed her wages and used various means to oppress and extract her surplus value. Her lawyer said in a statement that Bryant and Vanessa's course of action had violated multiple provisions of the labor code.

At present, the Western Conference Finals of the playoffs are in the stage of fierce battle, the Warriors and the Lakers are inseparable, and the matter in court will inevitably involve too much energy of the Flyers, but this will undoubtedly distract Kobe Bryant from the playoffs.

Both teammates and fans expect Bryant to come into every game with 100% focus, and discordant notes like these should be avoided as much as possible.

In this way, Kobe, who is always a tough guy on the court, chose to relent, and the two sides reconciled off the court, and the Kobes paid $200,000 in compensation to the former nanny, and the former nanny will no longer file a lawsuit on the matter, and the Kobes cannot file a counterclaim.

In this way, Kobe Bryant was finally able to put all his energy into the game.

On the 23rd, the game started, and the Warriors players did not encounter strong boos from Lakers fans after entering, which may have something to do with their self-proclaimed noble tradition, and the Purple and Gold always boast that they are more big than other teams.

However, there is one thing that other teams are not as good as the Lakers, that is, the star attendance, because of the geographical advantage of Hollywood, a large number of stars came to the scene of this game, Angelina Jolie and Pete husband and wife, Leonardo and his supermodel girlfriend COCO, the new Mr. 007 Daniel, Meghan Fox, who became popular all over the world with "Transformers", etc., etc., big names gathered, not to mention those second- and third-rate stars.

Of course, there are hardcore Lakers fans like Tangier Washington and Nitl Sr.

There is no doubt that although there are so many actors and actresses today, the real protagonists are still Kobe and Chamberlain, two superstars, if you insist on stuffing someone in it, it is Iverson, who is still very popular but has begun to decline.

After entering, Chamberlain found that the team of "The Big Bang Theory" was also here, and he stepped forward to hug the group first, and director Matt smiled: "Z, you better stay away from us." ”

Chamberlain said: "What, are you afraid of being beaten by the fans? ”

Simon shrugged and said, "No, just standing with you, we feel like we've really become dwarves, you know, it's definitely not a good feeling." ”

Later, the Lakers players came out, and Kobe Bryant walked out with his head held high and walked out with the momentum of 'the king returns', and the Staples Arena fell into a frenzy for the first time, this is the atmosphere of the finals, which was too calm and cold before.

Chamberlain came on the court and bumped into Kobe Bryant's fist, and he said to Kobe: "Man, how much did you pay those reporters to build a hype for you?" ”

Kobe Bryant said proudly: "Do I need to do this? If I eliminate you, there will be countless people who will be willing to write a legacy for me. ”

West dragged Chamberlain with his elbow and teased: "Look, this is the anger of Wang Ba, man, look at you, the first person in the alliance, you are the number one in the alliance." ”

Chamberlain glared angrily, pushed West away and said, "Fart, Lao Tzu is full of overlord breath, okay?" Hehe, moreover, it's hard to say whether I'm the first **silk, but it's certain that you'll face Kobe Bryant later, then you'll be abused like **silk. ”

The starters on both sides are still the same as the lineups in the first two games, the Lakers are Bynum + Gasol + Artest + Kobe + Fisher, and the Warriors are Chamberlain + Ibaka + Jackson + Iverson + Billups.

Today's referee is Bavita, a veteran referee.

Chamberlain habitually shook hands with the referee, Bavita patted his arm and said: "Young man, a game is a game, please keep in mind that this is a basketball court and not a street brawl field, many children are watching your game, give them a good start, thank you." ”

Kobe Bryant was still expressionless and entered the god-killing body in advance, and Chamberlain said with a smile: "Don't worry, Dick, we will play well today, and there will be no accidents." ”

The importance of this game is self-evident, whoever can win this game will be able to dominate the trend of the game after that, although this is not the battle of Tianwang Mountain, but it can be predicted, the atmosphere will definitely be as fierce as ever.

Bavita nodded, he believed Chamberlain and Kobe's statement, after all, he still had some face.

For referees, players and coaches do not hate them, but according to Marx's theory, there is no absolute, so of course there is no absolute.

Before the start of the playoffs, the famous American website "Nwesok" did a very interesting survey, mainly on the players' favorite referees.

Judging by the voting of the players, the veteran referee Dick Bavita beat the iron-faced Joey Crawford to become the favorite referee in the hearts of the players, and Tony Braders has gained a lot of favor.

And the three referees of this game are Bavita, Crawford and Bullard, which shows how important the league is to this game.

Of course, not all players have likes or dislikes, and some players choose "don't like any of them" and "like any referee". ”

The new generation of players, led by Durant and Rose, did not have any good feelings about the referee, and they all chose to "don't like any referee". Veterans such as Grant Hill and Nash have opted to "like any referee."

Chamberlain also chose the option of 'preferring any referee' because he knew that the charm of basketball lies in competition and punishment, and if there is no referee, then the game is not played.
