On Christmas Eve, the Warriors spent time at the White House, and the next day, while Christians all over the world were still on vacation, they had to fly non-stop to Los Angeles to prepare for the Christmas game against the Lakers.

In this regard, the Warriors were full of complaints, and Jackson scolded and said: "Damn, I haven't spent Christmas with my children for several years, and I don't even know what color the Christmas tree is at home on Christmas Eve, damn the league, why do we have to fight the Christmas war?" ”

Barnes was similar, he could only rejoice: "Fortunately, the two rabbit cubs in my family are not sensible yet, and they don't know how to be accompanied by Daddy and Mommy for Christmas, and I hope that in a few years, the alliance will let us go." ”

West said unhappily: "The point is that last night, Christmas Eve, why did we go to the White House?" Still stupid to play with Obama's idiot? ”

Hill pointed at him and said, "Delonti, you have to change your temper, look what you did last night!" You blocked Obama and gave him -- 1, 2, 3, 4 -- four big hats! ”

West exclaimed, "He said it himself, think about what he said before the game?" If anyone releases water, he will let the agents kill them, I haven't been a father yet, Xiao Wei is waiting for me to marry her, so I can't risk my life to release water. ”

Carter shook his head and said, "Oh God, why should I be on a team with fools?" ”

Jamison said worriedly: "Now I'm really worried, Obama won't be angry and send the FBI and CBI to hunt us down, right?" ”

Iverson rolled his eyes and said, "What are the FBI and CBI, if he keeps the IRS on us, it will be bad." ”

Everyone is cold, indeed, in the United States, the reputation of the tax office is worse than that of the FBI and CBI.

A qiē originated from a game yesterday evening, Obama was in high spirits, organized the White House team and the Warriors to play a game, and as a result, West faced Obama, chasing him with four big hats, Chamberlain swore that he saw Obama's face turn green at that time. Think about it, a black man's face can be seen to be green, what a fucking thing it must be.

Chamberlain also wanted to say a few words about West, but he saw Paul George constantly twisting his body in the plane seat, and from time to time he took out his mobile phone and turned on the front camera to touch his bald head and his whole clothes, looking very nervous.

"Rookie, it's just a Christmas war, there's nothing to be nervous about." Chamberlain kindly reminded.

George smirked, "I'm not nervous, I'm excited." ”

"Why are you excited?" Jackson looked at him strangely.

George waved his arms and said, "Because I'm going to compete with Kobe Bryant soon, oh God, this is crazy, we're going to play against the Lakers, Lakers!" Kobe Bryant! Los Angeles! I couldn't help myself, God, help me, ah! ”

"Is this kid stupid?" West said as he looked at George.

Hill kindly patted him on the shoulder and reminded: "We and the Lakers are old enemies, and Kobe Bryant is very unhappy with everyone on our team." ”

Barnes said in a weird way: "Yes, when you get to Los Angeles, remember to get a crotch guard and chest guard, Kobe's elbow is very powerful, you better be careful." ”

George's eyes widened and he pointed at Barnes and shouted, "You black Kobe? ”

"yes, what's wrong?" Barnes had a malicious smile on his face, "Do you have an opinion?" ”

George said angrily, "I—of course I have an opinion—I have a fart opinion!" ”

Barnes withdrew his outstretched fist and nodded with satisfaction: "Count you kid acquaintance, if you don't finish the sentence just now, I will definitely beat you to death now, and if I don't beat you out of the to count you clean this morning." ”

Amid a joyous laugh, the Warriors flew to Los Angeles, a city of angels that fans around the world are always paying attention to.

The Christmas battle between the Warriors and the Lakers has been hyped since the preseason, and the topic of these two teams is too strong, with the same state derby, both superstars, and both super teams, these things are mixed together, comparable to a Hollywood blockbuster.

The Los Angeles Lakers' record has not made historic progress, so Kobe Bryant can't reach new historical heights.

After O'Neal's eastward trip, there were many interesting topics around Kobe and the Lakers, such as whether the Purple and Gold can win the championship again, how Kobe's status is compared to Michael Jordan, and so on.

It should be said that professional sports do need to be topical, and no matter how incompatible the views of the Kohei Komi are, these discussions are "reasonable to exist". But now it seems that it will be too difficult for Kobe Bryant to win another championship.

In the past three years, the Lakers have been very competitive, and the worst record is the Western Conference Finals, and in 08 they once reached the Finals, only half a step away from the championship, but unfortunately Kobe Bryant was unable to defeat the Green Army Triumvirate who held back a lot of strength.

At that time, no one could have imagined that the high-spirited Lakers team would be at its peak, and then the more fierce Chamberlain came out with a sparkling attitude, and it was the Lakers who were most affected.

"The Warriors have become a nightmare for the Lakers, and the Oakland man's hands are choking Los Angeles by the neck and making it difficult for him to breathe." That's what Jordan said in an interview after last year's Western Conference Finals.

This summer, after Bryant learned that Phil Jackson had been ousted because of Jenny Buss and Jim Buss's struggle for power, he said emotionally at the press conference to bid farewell to the Zen master: "I know, I'm getting older, maybe I'm not going to win the championship anymore." ”

This scene, now that I think about it, makes Lakers fans still cry.

In the eyes of Lakers fans, Kobe Bryant may be inferior to Jordan because of luck - he didn't meet Pippen who suited him, didn't have Rodman to grab rebounds and help him defend, and he also met the insurmountable peak Chamberlain at the peak.

Indeed, Kobe Bryant was not very lucky, in order to win the championship, he changed too much, which is the same as Jordan, may also be an imitation of Jordan, both of them have changed their personalities in the middle and late stages of their careers, and "overnight" understood the importance of teamwork, and since then their careers have been on the rise, completing the sublimation from star to superstar.

Jordan is not easy to say, his personality factor does have the problem of being too strong, and his teammate Australian center Langley's evaluation pointed out the key point, "He himself is so good, it is natural to feel that others can't do something because they don't work hard enough."

The meaning of this sentence is that when Jordan was young, he couldn't really understand that "everyone's basketball talent and starting point are different", and he didn't know how to figure out that a good team is enough to do its job, and it doesn't need to be all elites.

So why did Jordan change later? According to popular saying, it was the "Flyer" who had enough of the hardships of fighting alone in the past few years, and at this moment, Phil Jackson, who had the secret of the "Triangle Offensive", appeared at the right time, so the time and place were favorable, and the master and apprentice achieved a great cause.

The reason why I say this is not to belittle Jordan's achievements, even if the helpers did not go through all kinds of hardships to grow up, in fact, it does not hinder their greatness. Why did Jordan dominate the 90s? Not because he's suddenly matured, but because he's smart enough to know that the next batch of teammates can be trusted – just look at the abilities of Scottie Pippen, Dennis Rodman and others to understand that this isn't a choice that requires a lot of determination.

In the same way for Kobe, in the years when he scored 81 points, he did rely on himself more than his teammates, which was even regarded as an unbearable experience by some "Komi" afterwards.

But in fact, if you appreciate Kobe Bryant in the last two years, you should repay him with the same respect for him during that time, because the essence of Kobe's ball path has not changed much. When his interior partner changed from Kwame Brown to Pau Gasol, it was only natural that there would be a change in his style of play.

Even if Gasol's appearance is a godsend for Kobe, it can make his situation naturally brighter, and then the Lakers began to make breakthroughs, but every time they fell on the last step, in 2008, they fell in front of the Green Shirts, and then fell to the Warriors for two consecutive years.

ESPN said in the preview of the new NBA season: "There are usually two championship teams in the NBA, one is to take advantage of the best time to reach the top of the league after preparing all the factors, such as the Pistons in 2004 and the Heat in 2006, and the other is really a notch higher than other teams, even if there are some factors lacking, they can win smoothly, such as the current Warriors, or the Lakers." ”

Lakers fans have a particularly hard time accepting the Warriors winning the championship, in fact, hostile fans across the league think like this, they want to see the Green Shirts win the championship, they want to see the Lakers win the championship, and they are even willing to let the Spurs win the championship, but they just don't want to see the Warriors win the championship.

The reason why this is so is because of a competitive culture, as the saying goes, "the sky will descend on the people, they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skin, and then empty their bodies, and do what they do", any team to win the championship, that is full of tempering.

For example, the Green Shirts were the Big Three who sacrificed almost their entire careers to win the championship after they met in their later years. For example, the Spurs were able to win the championship before, which is why Popovich went to great lengths to build the Holy City Army. For example, in 2006, when the Heat won the championship, O'Neal was driven away by the Lakers in shame, holding his breath to prove himself, and as a result, he teamed up with Wade to win the championship.

In this way, Chamberlain's Warriors won the championship too easily, he was a pillar on the inside, and then won the championship.

Sharpen? Tribulations? Sorry, they don't have any of that.

That's what makes fans of other teams in the league hard to accept, not so much that they hate the Warriors, but that they envy and hate the good fortune of this team.

The Lakers have been working hard, and their owners have always been willing to work the team's lineup, which is not comparable to basketball enthusiasts and Mavericks owner Kuban.

But this summer, the Lakers' reinforcement measures are not doing well, but this is understandable, the team has just changed owners and is in a turbulent period, not to mention reinforcements, it would be good if it could not be fully cleaned and caused by turmoil.

For a long time, the Lakers' weakest link is the point guard, although the "old fish" Derrick Fisher has a big heart, but as he gets older, his shortcomings in other aspects are slowly exposed. Jordan Famar, on the other hand, is clearly not suitable for the Lakers' triangular offensive system, and many of his decisions on the court are a bit "brain-dead".

To that end, the Lakers brought in Steve Blake, who is good at playmaking, has a good three-point shot, and has some ability on the defensive end, which can be used in rotation to temporarily ease the team's thirst for point guards.

There aren't many good point guards on the free market this summer, and after the Lakers decided to give up Famar, who wasn't a good fit for the team, Blake was a solid option. Blake is smart enough to easily grasp the essence of the triangle offense. He can take on the role of open shooter very well, which is what the triangle offense requires of a point guard. Despite Blake's poor performance last season, despite his 30 years old, and despite his inability to change the game, he was a panacea for the Lakers' point guard, and he filled the Lakers' last hole.

In addition, the Lakers agreed to a three-year, $10.5 million contract extension with Fisher.

The length and total amount of this contract are a bit surprising, and Fisher played a mess in the regular season last season. However, Fisher is the captain of the team after all, and he is also Kobe's friend, and he is the team's meritorious veteran, and the Lakers have shown a good attitude in doing this.

Aside from the reinforcement of the guard line, the Lakers have nothing else to do......
