Chapter 117: Farewell to Great Opponents!

The suspension ends.

The farce is finally over.

The Spurs carried team basketball to the end.

The Lakers, on the other hand, are alone.

Kobe finished picking Lei Lei.

At the end of the third quarter.

Score on the field.

85:95

The Lakers led by 10 points heading into the final quarter.

Popovich could only shake his head secretly on the sidelines, and he had already defended Lei Lei with two people, and even the three of them couldn't defend against it.

Lei Lei can always use a mid-distance jumper to score in front of the bag, and he doesn't panic at all when he encounters the bag, either splitting the ball or making fouls, and he plays very smart.

"After All-Star Weekend, the Lakers' form has picked up significantly."

"Yes, as far as this game is concerned, the Lakers may have been a little slow at the beginning of the game and could not defend in time, but Scott adjusted very well after halftime, and the players executed very strongly."

"In today's game, Lei Lei and Kobe Bryant played very well."

"Especially Kobe Bryant, hey, he has scored 20 points, and Lei Lei is still as stable as ever."

"The Lakers led by 10 points into the fourth quarter, and I don't know how Spurs head coach Popovich will adjust in the fourth quarter, so let's look forward to it."

Yu Jia and Wei Ping Bryant finished summarizing and inserting Lei Lei's endorsement advertisement, and now Yang Ma is taking Lei Lei as her own son, and wants to re-establish a national sports idol.

As long as it is a product endorsed by Lei Lei, come here to advertise, and Yang Ma will have no spare effort to promote it.

A mutually beneficial process.

And now the popularity of Lei Lei in China is very high, after the All-Star Game, it cannot be said that everyone knows it, as long as the audience who watches the sports channel, they all know that there is a young Chinese player who competed in the NBA and played a fantastic rookie season.

The masses who don't care about basketball watch the NBA because of Lei Lei, and the fans who don't pay attention to the game after retiring from Yao Ming often fish at work to watch the game because of Lei Lei's appearance.

Not only to see Lei Lei, but also because he is in the Lakers, and the Lakers have Kobe!

Lei Lei's domestic team has also been formed, and Yang Siwei is Lei Lei's domestic sports agent.

She used to be an agent of International Fan, and now she has also begun to get involved in sports agents, and she and Lei Lei hit it off and started a business together.

Set up a new brokerage company, which is currently mainly serving Lei Lei.

Pulled away, back on the field.

The final quarter begins.

Lakers ball possession.

Russell came up front with the ball.

Lei Lei came out of the box to receive a pass and faced Green's defensive pull-up jumper that bypassed the block.

'Brush-'

Lei Lei catches the ball and shoots a long two-point shot.

Ball exchange.

Parker came to the frontcourt and matched with Duncan's prosthetic hand-to-hand pick-and-roll.

Quickly hit the inside line and hit the board basketball to score.

Lei Lei doesn't want to play like this all the time, and wants to take away the Spurs in waves.

After all, after today's fight, I have to go to the east for three consecutive trips.

Lakers ball possession.

Bryant received a pass and used the block to get past the defender and get inside.

"Ahh

'Beep-beep-'

Bryant fell to the ground, and the referee's whistle sounded.

"It's okay, can you get up?"

"My finger seems to be dislocated."

Lei Lei pulled Kobe Bryant up, and he was nervous when he heard Kobe's words.

"Hey, is Kobe Bryant injured? How did you get to the sidelines? ”

"Let me see the replay.... Bryant fell with his fingers on the floor, as if he had dislocated. ”

"Hopefully it's okay."

Bryant came to the sidelines and said to Gary Witti, "Help me get my middle finger back." ”

Gary Vitti very skillfully held Kobe's middle finger and took advantage of his unpreparedness to straighten it directly.

Bryant shook his finger and came to the court to serve.

"Are you sure it's okay?"

"It's okay, habitually dislocated."

Lei Lei was also very impressed when he heard Kobe's words, what a man, Kobe's finger is not a normal person's finger, it doesn't look crooked.

After Bryant sent the ball to Lei Lei on the sideline, he came to the bottom corner to open up space for him.

Lei Lei stood at the top of the arc and took advantage of Hibbert's gap in blocking to get past defenders.

Seeing this, Duncan had no choice but to step forward to make up for it.

'Brush-'

Lei Lei made a quick stop to throw the ball from mid-range before Duncan arrived.

Popovich slurred on the sidelines, there was no way to restrain Lei Lei.

Can be inside and outside, the bag is divided into the ball, and if you don't let the ball go, you start playing without the ball, a rookie like a bug, and so far I haven't met the rookie wall.

The last players to do so in their rookie season were Duncan and Jordan.

Lei Lei then stopped attacking with the ball and began to run frantically without the ball.

Frequently use the blocking and dismantling of interior players to catch the ball and shoot to score.

Halfway through the fourth quarter, Lei Lei stretched the difference to 17 points.

Popovich asked for a timeout, intending to disarm and surrender.

Scott also adjusted his lineup and planned to practice and try out those lineups that could help Lei Lei in the playoffs.

I didn't talk about the first round, and I can't be swept in the first round.

The starters rested, and Russell and others took the role players on the court to score points.

Soon the game was over.

The full-time score is frozen

After the game, Lei Lei came to Duncan's side.

Duncan also noticed Lei Lei, hugged Lei Lei with a smile and said, "Lei, you played well, you are right, we old guys should quit the stage." ”

"Huh? I'm just saying it casually, don't take it seriously. ”

Duncan laughed when he heard Lei Lei's words.

Lei Lei took off his jersey, Duncan also took off his jersey, the two exchanged jerseys, and the reporters at the scene took pictures of the two.

Bryant also hugged his old friend goodbye.

After all, this is the last time the two teams will meet in the regular season.

Popovich and Kobe Bryant came to a bear hug, and the two talked for a long time.

Lei Lei came to the little old man, hugged Popovich and said, "Little old man, drink less wine and take care of your body." ”

"Don't call me little old man!"

After Popovich and Lei Lei embraced, he laughed and punched the latter in the chest.

Lei Lei put Duncan's jersey on his shoulder and prepared to go to the locker room.

"Ray! Please sign for me! ”

"Ray! Sign my child's name. ”

Lei Lei lowered his head and heard the voices of a father and a child in the players' tunnel.

He walked up to the father and son with a smile, took off his sneakers, took out the insole, and used the pen handed over by the staff to sign Lei Lei's two big characters on the sneakers and handed them to the child.

"Come on! I hope you grow up healthy. ”

Touching the child's head, he turned around and went to the locker room, intending to go to physiotherapy after taking a shower.

Which child couldn't even believe what was in his hand after Lei Lei's back disappeared.

"Dad, Lei Lei gave me sneakers and touched my head."

"Yes, you must keep Lei Lei's sneakers in good order."

Bryant was called away by Scott to attend a press conference.

Lei Lei followed Situ Minyi to the physiotherapy room after taking a bath.

"Sister Situ, light, it hurts! Yes! ”

"I didn't make any effort, what are you calling nonsense?"

"You've got my wounds."

"I'm sorry, I didn't see it, wait and let the team doctor take care of it for you."

When Lei Lei was in the game, he was caught by Green several times.

There is a blue and purple under the jersey, Lei Lei is also convinced, Green is really ruthless, and the dark elbow is constant.

Lei Lei lay on the bed, flipping through social media.

Bryant's post-game speech has also been posted online by the media.

It says that this game is the last time the two veterans Kobe and Duncan will meet in the NBA, and the two have been rivals for many years and also have 5 championship trophies, and the public opinion of the comparison between the two has also been discussed for many years.

Bryant had this to say: "As players, we just enjoy and cherish each other to the fullest, and it really doesn't matter who is strong or weaker for us. You just accept what you have in your career and appreciate what the other person has, and it's the same for him. ”

Kobe Bryant's dislocated finger in the fourth quarter was also questioned by himself.

The picture of him holding out his middle finger was also uploaded online by reporters.

"You know, I think this is probably the only time I've been able to sit in the middle of a press conference and make that gesture without getting fined."

"I wanted to walk with the ball and who knew the floor was so wet and I slipped. Then, I subconsciously used my hands to grasp my balance, but before my middle finger could be deployed, I dislocated. Speaking of this, Kobe Bryant shook his head, looked down at his finger and continued, "I wanted to try to get my finger back by myself, but he didn't fall straight and was already crooked, so I had to ask Vitti to use his magic to help me get my finger back." ”

After speaking, Kobe Bryant also performed, and his fingers shook from side to side.

Bryant couldn't help but play with humor again, "We both think these things are hilarious, man, memories are always so weird, we always remember them so funny." For example, tonight, I walked to the bench and he looked at my hands. ”

Speaking of which, Bryant suddenly mimicked Viti's appearance, "And he said to me, 'Wow! This cow break! I looked at him and said, 'I know how good it is, so do something to my fingers!' Then he helped me put my finger back in place. He knew me too well and he knew I wanted to be back on the pitch. It's great to have these hilarious memories, but hopefully this is the last of the season. ”

When asked if he would play in the next game, Bryant looked at his finger and said, "Well, I think it should be fine." ”

In the next game, the Lakers will visit Chicago to challenge the Bulls, which will also be the last time Kobe Bryant will go to Chicago to play. "It's always fun to play in Chicago, it's always a lot of energy for the fans in the arena, it's got an unbeatable history, and it's a very memorable place for me personally. Growing up watching Jordan and Pippen play, I learned so much from them, and I have so many precious memories there. ”

Talking about Chicago and talking about the Bulls' game, Kobe Bryant's face was full of smiles, "I remember the first time I went to see a Bulls game, it was with Jermaine O'Neal, when I was in Chicago for a training camp. I remember sitting very high and feeling like I was going to fall off if we weren't careful, and we needed a telescope to see clearly. It was an NBA Finals game, against Seattle, and I'll never forget it, it was a wonderful experience. ”

Lei Lei also saw Popovich's post-match interview.

"I worked very hard in this game, but the result is as you know, I used a lot of ways to limit Ray, but they all failed, I feel that he is more of a headache than Kobe, Ray he believes in his teammates very much, not as paranoid as Kobe, I can't shoot this time, I will definitely throw next time, Ray won't do this, he never does what he feels sure of, he is very calm"

"When his teammates couldn't open the situation, he stepped up and helped the team open the situation, and this is the last time I and Kobe Bryant will play each other, it looks like we won't meet in the playoffs, this can be said to be the last time in my career, in fact, I still think that the first time we met was yesterday, I didn't expect time to pass so quickly, 20 years have passed."

Popovich spoke to the media after the game.

Duncan was also asked by reporters why the third quarter and Lei Lei's gunpowder smell was so strong.

"I believe everyone knows Ray's trash talk, his trash talk hits people's hearts, but you can't refute it, you can only use your own performance to fight back, I haven't been like this for many years, but I can't control my emotions in the face of him."

"Kobe, I'm here to play and win games. I didn't think about those things," Duncan said, "and Kobe Bryant has always been a great contender, but the game wasn't for him, it was for us to get back on track soon." ”

"You know against Kobe Bryant, you have to give 100 per cent and play at the best level. Because he's always going to put the best of himself against you."

When asked again by reporters if he would be sad that he would not play against Kobe Bryant in the future, Duncan replied.

"Nope." Duncan's answer confused reporters.

"Why should you be surprised?" Duncan continued, "No. We've been playing for years, and that's good, and we're still looking forward. ”

After Lei Lei finished watching the news, the physiotherapy was also over, and he learned that Kobe's examination results had come out.

There is no problem with the fingers and can be present for the next game.
