Chapter 87: Come, Hey Ke Gongzi Strike Iron!
On February 26, 2013, the Lakers hosted the Atlanta Hawks after a day off.
The Atlanta Hawks currently have a 33-24 record and are fifth in the East.
The Eagles led by Larry Drew are not weak, with Al Horford, Josh Smith, Jeff Teague, Kyle Korwal, Devin Harris, Marvin Williams and other famous players in the team.
However, Marvin Williams will not play this game due to injury.
In short, this Hawks is definitely not comparable to the Lakers' last opponent, the Timberwolves.
Because of the war of words between Phil Jackson and Coach D, coupled with the fact that Coach D 'angrily' scolded Kobe Bryant for not being able to shoot 47 balls in the game in the last game, and asked Kobe to shoot in the next game.
Therefore, in this game between the Lakers and the Hawks, the focus of attention in the United States is whether Coach D is talking or playing seriously.
Is it really to be so ruthless, with 1747 Kobe Bryant to win, is it really not afraid that Kobe Bryant's high shooting rate will lead the team to win to hit his prestige in the Lakers and the league.
Seriously, although Kobe Bryant was 8 of 31 in the last game, many professionals can see that Kobe's strength has not declined significantly, and for a player like Kobe, the next game is likely to be 23 out of 33.
When the time comes, how will Coach D and the Lakers step down?
Many people say that after Coach D slapped Phil Jackson in the last game, it's okay, it's enough, there is no need to gamble with Phil Jackson on his face prestige and the future of the Lakers.
Phil Jackson lost, and at most he was humiliated and ridiculed by the whole country.
If Coach D loses, the consequences will be serious.
In short, before this game starts, the people who really care about Coach D, they must hope that Coach D will stop in moderation.
And those who want Coach D to lead the Lakers, want to beat Coach D, and want Coach D to get out of the way, that must be hoping that Coach D will continue to gamble with Phil Jackson.
Before the start of the game, in the face of the frantic questions of reporters, Kobe Bryant, who attended the pre-game press conference, was under a lot of pressure.
He certainly didn't want Coach D to bring the Lakers down.
He is indeed a teenager, before playing the Timberwolves, he did have the idea of proving his feelings, but that was not for Phil, it was to prove himself like Coach D.
This season, without the blessing of the golden bracelet given to him by Coach D, he played iron every time.
This made him stubborn and he must have been a little unbearable, coupled with Phil's column and the support of the whole United States, he went up at that time and wanted to prove himself again.
At that time, he didn't think that so much would happen later.
At that time, he wanted to play the Timberwolves to prove himself, to prove it, better, so that the coach really knew himself and knew how much he sacrificed for him.
If he can't prove himself, he will accept his fate, and he will do what he had to do before.
It's just that he really didn't expect that the coach would actually get up and fight with Fei'er.
Now Kobe Bryant feels like he's having a hard time riding a tiger.
Could it be that the coach really is?
No way!
When pigs fly!
Coaches aren't that kind of people!
"Bryant, will you shoot 47 times in this game against the Hawks?"
"Kobe, will you shoot 17 tonight?" 、
"Kobe, how do you see your role on the team? Are you disrupting the Lakers' chemistry right now, and are you not able to coexist with the other big four? ”
"Bryant, are the big four going to fall apart because of you?"
"Bryant, what is your relationship with Howard and Coach D?"
"Kobe, will you go undercover and lead the Hawks to win this game and give Coach D the first defeat in his life?"
"Bryant, I heard that Coach D is going to use you to take the blame for his first defeat, is that true?"
……
……
At the press conference before the game, in the face of the crazy questions of media reporters, Kobe Bryant's face was ugly throughout the whole process.
In the end, he was asked.
"Bryant!"
Ignoring the call of his agent Pelinka, Kobe Bryant left straight away after the press conference.
Seeing Kobe's back at this time, Pelinka behind him sighed.
Fei'er, is this guy sick!
Bryant is doing well with the Lakers, why do you want to say that Bryant is unhappy?
Coach D is yes, Phil, the loser, barks there, you don't pay attention to him, even if Phil's remarks destroy the chemistry of the Lakers, didn't you solve it in the last game?
Why put more pressure on Bryant?
In this pre-game press conference, he followed Kobe Bryant throughout the whole process.
Now the pressure on Kobe Bryant seems to be back to what it used to be.
Kobe Bryant was so angry just now, and he must have thought of the past.
Kobe Bryant was partnered with OK under Phil Jackson.
Phil Jackson, the media, experts, and celebrities said that he shouldn't play like this, he should give the ball to O'Neal.
The shot is accurate, the score is high, the media, Phil said, O'Neal is unhappy, his teammates are unhappy, let him pass the ball, he shouldn't score so many points alone, even if he wins, the game shouldn't be played like this.
Even if Kobe Bryant used such a style of play to win three championships for the Lakers OK Lakers, Phil, the media, reporters, experts, celebrities, and even fans did not trust Kobe.
In the minds of these people, as long as Kobe Bryant plays like this, no matter how accurate he is, he will be iron, and in the end he will definitely be a pit team.
In the minds of these people, Kobe Bryant is not worthy of playing like Jordan.
As long as Kobe Bryant plays like Jordan, whether it is accurate or not, Kobe will be ridiculed, and the ugly duckling wants to be compared to Jordan.
At that time, everyone was laughing, O'Neill took everyone to laugh together, and Phil, as the head coach, did nothing, even ...... also acquiesced in O'Neal's creation of those public opinions that mocked Kobe.
As the head coach, Phil acquiesced at the time, which was support.
Phil Jackson is even more odious than O'Neal, like those teachers who watch their students being bullied.
In order to fight for power with Jerebuss, Phil Jackson can only support O'Neal, because Jerichs loves Kobe.
Maybe Jerry West is still there, and everything will be different, but ......
It can be said that the shadow and tragedy of Kobe Bryant in those years are unimaginably deep.
He's Kobe's agent and he's been through it all the way.
He knew that this was a thorn and shadow in Kobe's heart all along.
Even if Phil entered the palace later, he recognized that Kobe Bryant could play like Jordan and play Jordan's triangle offense like Jordan.
But this thorn did not pull out of Kobe's heart, it was just hidden.
Once the critical moment comes, the thorn will come out.
Play to play the Trail Blazers.
In the first quarter, Kobe Bryant was 2 of 9, and in the second quarter, Kobe Bryant immediately stopped shooting and didn't shoot once.
That's the shadow that was created back then.
The shadow caused by the ridicule of his teammates, coaches and the media all over the world.
Even if the ugly duckling who once wanted to become a white swan eventually became a white swan, the damage caused when he was an ugly duckling has not been eliminated.
Kobe Bryant was stubborn.
Kobe Bryant is very eager to be recognized by the whole world, and he is indeed a white swan who can play like Jordan.
However, he has never received such recognition.
Even if he's already won five championships.
The whole world says that he throws too much, he will be angry and not attack, the whole world says that he should not pass, he will be angry and crazy to attack.
Kobe himself has never been so confident, he can't be so confident as Jordan to ignore it all.
The way he plays is not his own choice, it is dictated by others.
Kobe Bryant may not know that he is always dominated.
In the last game against the Timberwolves, Kobe Bryant played so iron, and the media is now so ridiculed, so according to Kobe's previous playing habits.
He won't attack this game against the Eagles, he starts passing, he starts to gamble, and after the game, he will either be sprayed by these people or hit them in the face.
Even if Fei'er entered the palace for the second time, he didn't care about such a problem.
Fei'er, who entered the palace for the second time, can't control Kobe Bryant anymore.
Or rather, don't dare to care.
Because, this is the bane he planted back then.
If he could have encouraged Kobe to be himself regardless of Kobe Bryant's iron or accuracy, and even asked O'Neal and his teammates to support Kobe Bryant to be himself, stand behind Kobe and help Kobe against public opinion around the world, I believe Kobe can play like Jordan.
So......
That OK will definitely not collapse, and it will definitely be more than three championships and a dynasty.
But this time......
"Coach D must let him attack!"
The bystanders are confused.
Coach D is going to completely ruin Bryant.
Still is?
Pelinka's eyes twinkled.
"Is it still too late?"
……
……
The 32-25 Lakers and the 33-24 Hawks are definitely a strong conversation.
But this game is not broadcast live in the United States.
The live broadcast of the game in the United States is the Kings' home game against the Heat.
But before the game between the Kings and the Heat was over, TNT switched to the live signal.
The overtime game between the Heat and the Kings will not be broadcast live.
Live stream this game between the Lakers and the Hawks.
The Phil Jackson and Dukang thing, and the Kobe thing.
The heat of this game between the Lakers and the Hawks is still that explosive.
So the TNT trio, which was supposed to stream the Kings live, didn't go to Sacramento at all.
Since the rise of Coach D and the Lakers' big four guard combinations, the Heat are now out of favor.
At the very least, TNT defected and set its sights on the Lakers and Coach D, and as for James and the Heat, leave it to ESPN to continue to hold.
"Before the game, many people said that Coach D may have set off smoke bombs, and Coach D has recently been under a lot of pressure to win because of the targeting of coaches across the league, so he wants to set off smoke bombs to sneak attack these people."
"Kenny, I've heard a lot of people say that Coach D has been under a lot of pressure to win recently, and he knows that he can't continue to lead the team to win all the time, so he needs to find someone to blame, isn't Kobe Bryant the best pot in NBA history?"
"Hahahaha, Charles, I've also heard such a statement, Kobe's pot is really easy to use, didn't Shaq and Phil use it very skillfully back then?"
Barkley and Kenny Smith laughed at this, and O'Neal giggled there.
I have to say that the effect of the show is really good.
"Kobe's style of play is decided, he is the best player with the back pot, he can't shoot accurately, the pot is his, the shot is accurate, it affects the offense of his teammates, and the pot is still his."
"This is also what many people say that Jordan's style of play is not for everyone, Kobe Bryant is not worthy, and the current Westbrook is also not worthy."
"So, Shaq, do you think this is possible? Is Coach D ready to let Kobe Bryant take the blame for his loss? ”
"Of course, apart from this, I can't think of any other possibility, if you continue to let Kobe play like Jordan, no one can bring Kobe Bryant, neither I nor Phil, Coach D and this Laker are even worse, maybe this game against the Hawks, Kobe will be very accurate, maybe the Lakers will win, but, as long as Kobe Bryant plays like this, sooner or later he will kill the Lakers, Coach D, man, Phil and I didn't dump the pot back then, but Kobe did hurt the team."
"So, it's yours to win, it's Kobe's to lose, hahahaha......"
"Isn't it? Hahahaha......"
"Shaq, so do you have any changes to Kobe's contribution to OK?"
"I guess yes or no, hahahaha......"
"Of course there is or not, hahahaha......"
After O'Neill finished speaking, he also laughed out loud.
The effect of the show is really explosive!
The audience in front of the TV was fascinated, and they all laughed along.
In front of the TV, Westbrook gritted his teeth as he watched the trio of O'Neill and TNT.
Why do you say I don't deserve to play like Jordan?
And am I going to play like Jordan?
I'm going to play like Kobe!
Nima's!
They are talking about Kobe Bryant, why does he listen to him as if he is talking about him?
In Thunder, isn't he the one who takes the blame?
The win is Durant's, the loss is his.
But......
Looking at O'Neill, who was laughing at this time, Westbrook was still very moved.
The young department is miserable and meets a boss like O'Neill.
He was lucky to meet KD.
KD has always supported him to be himself, and when the world laughed at him, KD stood behind him when the manager put him on the bench at key moments and let his substitutes play crucially.
KD is not O'Neal, the one who stabbed his teammates in the back!
"So, I won't compromise on this world, and I won't be like Kobe Bryant, I won't listen to what anyone in this world says, except for KD, I will always be myself!"
"Except for KD, no one in this world can change me!"
"I will only change for KD!"
……
……
In this game against the Hawks, Dukang changed the starting lineup of the game.
The starting center is still Howard, but the starting power forward is Yi Jianlian, the starting small forward is Maddy, the starting scoring guard is Kobe, and the starting playmaking guard is Iverson.
After the pre-game shooting practice, players from both sides returned to the bench.
Only one person did not return.
That man was Kobe Bryant.
Bryant was still practicing shooting on the court at this time.
After Dukang coached the Lakers, Kobe Bryant did this for the first time.
Looking at Kobe Bryant practicing shooting on the court at this time.
Other Lakers players were worried.
Kobe bryant.
Opinion of you: 95 (why?) )
"I'm feeling lost about everything right now, what should I do?"
Du Kang smiled.
After assistant coach Clifford laid out the style of play for this game.
Lakers starters ready to play.
"TMC, Aaron, wait a minute."
Du Kang whispered in the ears of the two of them.
Both of them looked at Du Kang in surprise.
Although surprised to surprised, in the end, both of them nodded seriously.
Du Kang smiled and patted the two of them on the shoulder.
"Go ahead."
……
……
As one of the two main focuses of this game.
The fact that he didn't return to the bench for shooting practice before the game is certainly impossible not to be discovered.
"It seems that Kobe Bryant has found out that Coach D is going to make him take the blame."
"Hahahaha, Kobe Bryant has been carrying the pot by Shaq and Phil Jackson for so many years, at this moment as at that moment, in the face of such a similar scene, with Kobe's IQ, it would be strange if he couldn't find it."
"Charles, I'll correct it again, that Kobe Bryant back then really hurt the team, hahahaha......"
O'Neill was laughing.
In my heart, I kept praising Phil Jackson.
What is a master of psychological warfare, Fei'er is a master of psychological warfare!
Coach D is a psychological warfare master at best!
Compared with Fei'er, it is really the same as the younger brother in the middle!
……
……
"With what I know about Kobe, he won't make a shot in this game, and after this game, the gap between him and Coach D will not be bridged!"
"Phil, you are the best head coach I have ever met, and you are the one who should be the godfather of the Lakers!"
"Hahahaha......"
……
……
On the pitch, the starters of both sides are set, and the game is about to begin.
The Eagles' five starters, Pachuria, Al Horford, Josh Smith, DeShaun Stevenson, Jeff Teague.
They were all secretly curious about Kobe.
And the Lakers' starters, except for Howard, everyone looked at Kobe Bryant worriedly.
And Howard, that's really as excited as you want at this point!
This tool man coach in my house is too smart!
actually planned to make a plan, and turned the attack on him conspired by Phil Jackson and Kobe Bryant into Kobe's back!
It's also too showy!
"From today onwards, I must perform well on the court, and I must not have any tricks for people to catch, and I must not be the one who bears the blame for losing!"
"Hahahaha, the pot still lets Kobe carry it, he's cooked!"
"Hahahaha......"
Well, Howard, who was about to jump on the court, couldn't help but laugh out loud.
provoked everyone except Kobe Bryant to look at him.
cough cough cough cough ......
Well, some aren't very embarrassing.
However, it's really TM cool!
Howard, who is so cool, is certainly unlikely to fail in the jump ball with Pachuria.
The Lakers got their first chance of the game.
After Howard jumped the ball to Iverson, Iverson passed half court and immediately hit the ball to Kobe.
"Coach D really still wants to let Kobe Bryant control the ball and shots!"
"Coach D really wants Kobe to take the blame!"
"The Hawks are not the Timberwolves, and this season the Hawks have only allowed opponents to average 97 points per game, which is one of the best defensive teams in the NBA!"
This season, the Hawks have Pachulia Al Horford on the inside, and one of these two can help defend people.
Josh Smith, who is at the small forward position, averages 1.5 steals and 1.8 blocks per game, and can help defend and defend alone.
It's fair to say that the Hawks' basket isn't that easy to get into.
At the same time, the Eagles' Jeff Teague, although his defense is not top-notch, but he is fast, and when you can't break through to the basket, his speed can catch up with the offensive players, so that the offensive players can't get open opportunities.
This Eagles are indeed very integral, maybe they can't go far without supergiants in the playoffs, but in the regular season, this Eagles are very combative.
Since Du Kang said in this game, he must let Ke Gongzi shoot 47 balls.
The Lakers players on the court will certainly do what Du Kang asks them to do.
Iverson gave the ball to Bryant as soon as halftime.
Seeing Kobe Bryant get the ball, the Lakers fans at the scene were also applauding Kobe.
But Kobe, who was desperately attacking in the last game, did not plan to attack himself after receiving a pass from Iverson, but passed the basketball in his hand to Maddie again, and then went to the baseline to squat.
Seeing Kobe Bryant like this, Hawks head coach Larry Deru's eyes lit up on the sidelines.
"Kobe Bryant really won't attack this game!"
"Kobe Bryant is having an infighting with Coach D!"
"Thank you Phil Jackson!"
"Coach D's first win, I'm going to take it!"
Seeing Kobe Bryant squatting in the bottom corner, Larry Drew even sat up from the coach's seat excitedly, ran to the sidelines, and excitedly commanded Stevenson to hand the ashtray to the Ke Gongzi who was smoking in the bottom corner.
Without Kobe's contribution, the Lakers, a group of old, weak, sick and disabled and a mentally handicapped team, can win his Hawks?
Joke!
Maddy, who was in the left waist position, looked at Kobe Bryant who was standing in the bottom corner of the left side at this time, shook his head, and after holding the ball in one hand, he raised the ball slightly to avoid Josh Smith's steal, and then looked at Kobe and sighed.
“……”
it!
Taking advantage of Maddie's distraction, Josh Smith, who failed to grab the ball, was dumbfounded at this time.
Do you look down on me so much?
I'm one of the best wing defenders in the NBA right now!
In the face of my defense, you TM still have the kung fu there to sigh!
There is still kung fu to care about Kobe, who was collapsed by Coach D!
Josh Smith felt that he couldn't stand this anger!
Anyway, with Mai's half-crippled speed, he is not afraid of him breaking through at all, failing to grab once, and he can also grab a second time!
Let you play not seriously, distracted for two purposes!
Then, Josh Smith rushed to get blind!
"Is there really a god-man in this world who can be distracted and used for two purposes?!"
He, one of the best defensive players on the wing in the league, really can't grab this Maddie who has been paying attention to Kobe Bryant sighing!
"TMC can attack, but he's been teasing Josh Smith in the same place, what is he going to do?"
"It's almost 24 seconds, what is TMC doing?!"
The Lakers fans at the scene went crazy.
Kobe Bryant squatted in the bottom corner just now.
Now Maddie doesn't attack again, just plays with Josh Smith like a pet.
What the hell happened to the Lakers?
"Fack! A good Laker, you won't really be ruined by Phil, right?! ”
Just when the Lakers fans at the scene were going crazy.
Maddie finally moved.
Once again, a coquettish turn on the spot dodged Josh Smith's lay-up, and Maddie passed the ball from the back of his head to the baseline.
The ball was fast and flat, almost grazing Josh Smith's scalp and flying towards Kobe.
"it!"
This pass is too top, isn't it?
TMC's previous passes were very sassy and top-notch, but can they be like this, can they be like this?!
Not only flew against Josh Smith's scalp.
And just past the fingertips of Stevenson, who wanted to steal, came to Kobe's hand.
Looking at the basketball in his hand, he looked at the timer.
Bryant felt he didn't want to attack.
But!
The red time that keeps beating.
There is only one defender in front.
His veins were burning.
Whistle + single defense!
He's Kobe Bryant, how could he not attack!
Jump, lean, kick, shot!
Kobe Bryant's picturesque shot caused Lakers fans to exclaim again.
This is the Kobe they like!
"Teacher Ke's shooting is so beautiful!"
Bang!
The Lakers fans who just exclaimed at the scene exclaimed again.
This is still the Kobe they like!
"Teacher Ke also looks good when he strikes iron!"
Because Kobe's sudden shot was too sudden.
So the reaction of the Hawks players under the basket did not keep up.
But Howard, who was sure that Kobe Bryant would shoot and would strike iron, reacted quickly.
Although he couldn't get this frontcourt rebound because of Pachuria's card position.
But I got it!
"Damn, Howard actually gave Kobe Bryant a frontcourt rebound!"
"Is the sun coming out of the west?!"
Kobe Bryant looked at the basketball in his hand, gritted his teeth, and didn't attack or pass the ball to Maddie.
Maizi, this guy can't be trusted now!
Actually press the whistle and pass the ball!
Bryant broke through and threw the ball to Iverson.
14 seconds of secondary attack time.
After Iverson Butterfly deceived Jeff Teague through the flowers, he didn't make a pull-up jump shot.
Instead, it pulled back again, and once again the butterfly wore the flowers of Jeff Teague!
"! Iverson: What is this going to do?! ”
"He's not going to be like Maddie, is he?!"
Just now, Maddie didn't have a chance to attack.
Now Iverson has a chance not to attack!
"! Iverson actually shook the whistle! ”
The Chinese audience in the Penguin live broadcast room was stunned!
Are the Lakers on the show?
In this game, do the Lakers really don't want to win, just want to show, and just want to give Kobe Bryant?
What shocked the audience in the Penguin live broadcast room even more was that Iverson's pass after the show, Coach Xiao Du on the sidelines actually stood up and applauded.
"Coach Xiao Du seems to be saying, hey Ke Gongzi to hit the iron!"
it!
Hey, Koko strikes iron!
Kefan, you little black Amy, you know Kobe!
on the pitch.
It's another whistle ball.
Another bang!
Bryant looked at the young Lakers coach on the sidelines.
"Coach, is that really the case?"
Kobe Bryant bites the jersey on his chest.
"Ding, your player Kobe Bryant's opinion of you has been adjusted to 94."
"Ding, your player Kobe Bryant's opinion of you has been adjusted to 93."
"Ding, your player Kobe Bryant's opinion of you has been adjusted to 92."
"Ding, your player Kobe Bryant's opinion of you has been adjusted to 91."
"Ding, your player Kobe Bryant's opinion of you has been adjusted to 90."
It was beating until 90 and then stopped.
Du Kang smiled.
looked at the smile on Du Kang's face at this time......
"Coach, you forced me!"
"Coach, you're underestimating me too much!"
"In this game, I will never take the blame!"
Bryant spat out the jersey on his chest.
Tonight, whether it's Peter Pan or Black Mamba, let's kill!
……

This is the first update of the day.
(End of chapter)
