Men can't say they can't.

If he says no, then he really can't.

If this person is still Kobe.

Then he must have survived for a long, long time.

It's really not going to work.

Kobe Bryant after shooting that fatal three-pointer.

My arm hurt and I couldn't lift it.

And even so, he insisted on hitting the key free throw.

The pain made his face look very ugly.

So after the end of the game.

There was not the slightest relaxation on his face.

Bryant hugged his shoulders and left the court with his head down.

Back in the dressing room, everyone will be victorious and rejoicing.

Bryant only grinned reluctantly, and he was no longer able to raise his arm and high-five his teammates.

The team doctor came over and helped Kobe Bryant take off his lining.

Then he brought an ice pack to cool his shoulder.

However, cold compresses can only slightly relieve the pain.

It's no longer useful for treating injuries.

Bryant did not attend the post-game press conference again.

Reporters whispered, all worried about Bryant's state.

Wang Shuang and Randolph just said a few words.

Then he hurriedly left the press conference.

The whole team didn't stay long and packed their bags early.

I took a bus out of the Quick Loan Center and went to the airport.

The early morning plane flew straight back to Los Angeles.

The next day, Bryant went to the hospital for a full check-up.

The results of the MRI came out quickly.

Bryant suffered a partial tear in the ligament in his shoulder.

His shoulder was no longer able to move normally.

This means that Bryant will be out for the season and miss the next Finals.

This is undoubtedly a major blow to the Lakers.

They worked hard to reach the finals.

And the big score was equalized at 1:1.

Got home field advantage.

Now Kobe Bryant is out for the season.

Kobe Bryant did the inspection on the morning of the 7th.

The result of the 8th.

Wang Shuang received the news as soon as possible.

It was Kobe Bryant who texted him and told him.

The text message was brief: "Wang, I'm reimbursed." ”

Wang Shuang had mixed feelings in his heart when he saw this news.

He knows that this finals will be difficult for them.

Although Kobe Bryant was in poor shape in the Finals.

But he's Kobe, and as long as he's on the court, he's a deterrent.

It's an uplifting existence.

And the play in the last moments of the second game proved it.

When needed, Bryant can still stand up.

But the season is reimbursed, and the loss of Kobe Bryant means that the Lakers have lost their soul.

Of course, for this result.

Wang Shuang is mentally prepared.

At the end of the second game, look at Kobe Bryant's appearance.

I know that there is more luck and less luck.

And Kobe Bryant himself said "I can't do it anymore".

He must have felt a blow to his shoulder.

Wang Shuang wanted to call Kobe Bryant.

But after thinking about it, I still didn't dial the number.

He knew that Kobe Bryant would definitely need to be quiet.

Wang Shuang calmed down and looked at the news report.

The media is reporting that Kobe Bryant has torn his shoulder and is out for the season.

Some of the fans are sorry, some are sad.

Of course, there will always be a small number of people who will celebrate.

"Ahhhh It's over, it's a pity this season! ”

"It's a pity, but it's a miracle that the Lakers can get here, and the boss has done his best."

"I don't feel like there are any regrets, the Lakers have entered the Wang Shuang era, and they will fight for another twenty years!"

"I gave a championship to James, I was really speechless, and I want to see Kobe Bryant continue to play."

The news of Bryant's reimbursement brought the sports site down again.

Only Kobe Bryant has such ability.

And there is very little time left for the Lakers to adjust.

No. 8 announced the reimbursement, and team No. 9 will play the third game.

Without Kobe, the morale of the Lakers team has taken a major hit.

But before the start of the race on the 9th.

Bryant didn't make the team's injury list.

Instead, they remain in the squad.

Some fans have noticed this.

"Kobe Bryant is still in the squad, is it a fraud?"

"It's impossible, it's all reimbursed, and you can still play?"

"I think Kobe Bryant doesn't want to leave the game. He wasn't in the starting lineup. ”

"Kobe Bryant is indeed in the squad, maybe he can really play? Let the boss of one hand be the boss too. ”

Before the game, Bryant sat on the sidelines without a suit.

Instead, he appeared in sportswear with his teammates.

However, Bryant was not in the starting lineup.

He started in place of Tony Allen.

Although Kobe Bryant didn't score much in the first two games.

But the Cavaliers didn't dare to let Kobe Bryant go when they were defending.

Kobe Bryant must be heavily guarded.

Now Kobe Bryant is not here.

Wang's challenges have doubled.

The knights carried out a comprehensive encirclement and suppression of Wang Shuang.

Wang Shuang's ability to play the ball is still excellent.

With the help of the Magician's Golden Left Eye.

He always gets the ball to the right person.

But the situation is that no one else has the ability to break the game.

Tyronn Lue continued to engage in a wheel battle against Wang Shuang.

This Grand Final in Stamps.

Wang Shuang enjoyed Kobe's defensive treatment against the Celtics in '08 and '10.

There are always at least three players waiting for him in front of him.

Layers of defense.

Let Wang Shuang feel meticulous care.

It's under this tremendous defensive pressure.

Wang Shuang actually played very freely.

Although the Cavaliers have been suppressing the Lakers with ferocious offense.

But Wang Shuang was present and did not panic.

Steady and steady pursuit of points.

The handicap is always in the single digits.

Wang Shuang's own hit rate can only be said to be average.

But his passing was dangerous.

And he doesn't stick to the ball, he doesn't break through.

The defensive traps the Cavaliers set for him didn't do much.

He didn't even go into the trap.

In the second half, Scott was in charge of the problem.

In the second half, he played a double back line.

Clarkson and Lowe appear at the same time.

Two people to ensure the ball is held at the back.

At the same time, Wang Shuang is distributed as a transfer point for the ball.

On the upside, the Lakers' offense is getting smoother.

Beat the knight a 7:0 to stop the opponent.

The bad side is that the defense is really poor.

Raised Owen's hand.

After the timeout, Owen began to play indiscriminately.

Lowe and Clarkson couldn't stop Owen at all.

Even if Tony Allen is on it, it can't be prevented.

The Cavaliers responded with an 11-2 in the third quarter.

The advantage was re-established.

The rhythm of the finals and the Western Conference finals is completely different.

It's more like a modern basketball game.

You have a wave, I have a wave, and a difference of 10 points is not a problem.

A couple of counter-attacks were thrown in threes.

The score was recovered.

And before when Kobe Bryant was there.

The Lakers have been playing retro basketball.

Small point difference, low tempo.

A little bit of tug-of-war.

In the end, use a wealth of experience to grind the opponent to death.

When Wang Shuang became the absolute core.

Everything is going in the other direction.

At the end of the third quarter, the two sides were tied at 81-91.

The Cavaliers lead the Lakers by 10 points.

Wang scored 19 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists.

After three quarters, there was already a triple-double.

His shooting percentage is Kobe-like.

Only 7 of 20 shots.

But there is no way.

When others can't, the boss must stand up and vote.

If you can't vote, you have to vote.

The hit rate is always better than other people's blind shots.

After the start of the fourth quarter, the Lakers began the final comeback.

As soon as Wang Shuang came up, he hit two three-pointers in a row.

The score difference was close at one point.

But it's still the same old problem - the team's defense is not working.

After the impact of three rounds in the west.

The players are tired.

Bryant was absent and morale was low.

can't prevent Irving and James from taking turns to hit the basket.

Wang Shuang spends most of his energy on offense.

Defensively, there is no Death Mask.

It is impossible to squat on the inside to protect the basket.

And James and Durant are different.

James has experienced various setbacks.

His nerves are very tough.

It's not Durant's mentality that gets out of balance after a few sprays.

At this time, Wang Shuang felt it.

Without Kobe Bryant, the game was so hard.

The Cavaliers responded with a 15:3 offensive blaster.

The difference between the two sides was completely widened.

At this time, the fans knew that there was no way back.

There are 2 minutes left until the end of the game.

The Lakers trailed by 16 points at 94:110.

Wang Shuang scored 25 points, and he has done his best.

That's when Scott called a timeout.

Tyronn Lue, for his part, thought the Lakers were going to give up.

It's time to come off the bench and enter garbage time.

Unexpectedly, Scott did not replace the main force.

Instead, he replaced Clarkson.

Let Kobe, who sat on the bench and watched most of the game, appear.

Bryant got up and took off his coat.

Fans at the scene saw that Kobe Bryant was about to appear.

The audience burst into enthusiastic cheers.

Tyronn Lue doesn't look right.

Why didn't you get off the main force, and you want to go to Kobe?

Owen and James had already sat down to drink water.

Director Lu beckoned to them and said, "Get up, get up, get ready to play, get ready to play." Kobe Bryant is on the scene, salute him, salute him! ”

James and Owen immediately put down the water bottle in their hands.

The main players are back on the field.

The applause and cheers did not stop for a moment.

Bryant raised his hand to greet the fans.

Signal everyone to stop and continue the game.

But the fans didn't mean to stop.

None of the matches can be continued.

These applause and cheers were full of affection.

This will be Kobe's last appearance in the NBA.

The referee said to Kobe: "Hey Kobe, let everyone stop for a while so that we can continue the game." ”

Kobe Bryant had no choice but to come to the technical desk, take the microphone, and say, "Friends, friends." ”

As soon as Kobe Bryant spoke, the audience slowly fell silent.

"Friends, let me finish this last game, the last one."

Bryant didn't talk much, but the audience was quiet.

The last two minutes.

In fact, Kobe's right arm can no longer be raised.

He couldn't shoot anymore.

The Cavaliers, on their side, are not desperately attacking and defending.

James defended Kobe Bryant.

Bryant opened up a single from the outside.

Although the right arm cannot be raised.

But Bryant still dribbled with his left hand.

Got to the basket and scored two points on a layup!

The audience cheered loudly!

Bryant scored the last two points of his career.

There is no suspense in the game.

But the Stamp fans didn't leave the stadium.

When the buzzer sounded at the end.

This was the end of Bryant's career.

The enthusiastic cheers of the audience masked the sadness of the loss.

At this moment, winning or losing doesn't seem so important anymore.

Even if it's the finals.

Because Kobe Bryant brought enough Finals wins.

It is not unacceptable to say goodbye to a failure.

No one is always a winner.

No matter how brilliant a career is, it will come to an end.

Kobe Bryant gave the last speech of his career on the spot:

"Guys, I can't believe 20 years have gone by so quickly, and I can't believe we're going to make it to June this season. I had an amazing career, and the last year of my career was the most magical, and I can't put it into words. I am grateful for everything here, for all the experiences, for the victories, defeats, pains, and joys I have experienced. I think, most importantly, we've been together! ”

Bryant said, "When we've been together," he turned his head to look at James, who was standing not far away.

Kobe Bryant has been one person and one city for 20 years, although James has returned to Cleveland.

But in the middle, he finally ran out and walked around for four years.

For James.

This season to win the championship.

It can be regarded as the completion of his self-redemption.

"I've always been a big fan of the Lakers, and I know everything here. I know every game, every win. I was traded in the draft, and after 20 years here, I can't think of anything better than that. Hey, King, you're going to be here for 20 years too. ”

Kobe Bryant said and pointed at Wang Shuang.

Wang Shuang smiled, thinking that after 20 years, Lao Tzu is 45 years old.

Can you still play basketball?

Bryant said more later.

Thank you to your teammates, thank your family, thank you to the fans.

Thanks to the gift of fate to him, he has experienced a wonderful career of ups and downs.

In the end, a thousand words turned into one sentence:

"What more can I say? mamba out！ ”
