Chapter 116: Lakers Championship!

"Rob, what's the urgency you're looking for me?"

When Pelinka broke into the locker room and found Kobe, Kobe was still meditating with the Zen master.

However, seeing Pelinka coming in in a hurry and pulling him out, Kobe Bryant could only follow out.

"Jim just talked to me about something, and I hope you can pass Shaq in the second half and help him win the Finals MVP."

As soon as Pelinka finished speaking, Kobe Bryant said angrily: "Impossible! When pigs fly! ”

"Don't be angry, Jim promised me that he would support you as the boss of the team next season!

Moreover, the management will trade Shaq away in the offseason, and the Los Angeles Lakers will be your team in the future!

By the way, the team will renew our contract early in the summer, using the Bird clause! ”

Pelinka quickly told Kobe about the content of his previous communication with Bass, but Kobe still didn't want to agree.

"I'm not going to give up on competing for the Finals MVP, this is the closest I've ever gotten to it! It's mine! ”

Kobe Bryant loves basketball as much as he loves his life!

As the world's top basketball player and NBA superstar, no one doesn't love the honor of Finals MVP.

Not to mention, Kobe Bryant wants to become the boss of the Lakers and overtake O'Neal!

To prove to the world, he didn't wear three championship rings by hugging O'Neal's thigh.

Therefore, in the absence of a Finals MVP, Kobe Bryant prefers to get his own FMVP trophy!

"There will be, but not now.

Kobe, you should know that even tonight, you want to beat Shaq.

It is also a very difficult thing to get the FMVP trophy.

We just hope that we can win the finals more smoothly!

No one likes accidents, and no one doesn't love banknotes!

You haven't solved the problem now, staying in Los Angeles is the right choice! ”

Pelinka, as an agent and a friend of Kobe, tried hard to persuade him.

Of course, as a vested interest, Pelinka naturally hopes that Kobe Bryant can renew his contract with the Lakers and continue to stay in Los Angeles.

On the one hand, Pelinka's agent resources are all in Los Angeles, and once he leaves Los Angeles with Kobe, he needs to take the risk of starting from scratch and starting from scratch.

On the other hand, Kobe Bryant's jump out of the player contract also harmed his interests Pelinka.

The biggest contract of the star is naturally to renew the contract with the parent team for six years with the help of bird rights!

In the summer, Kobe Bryant's contract extension was an early contract, and counting the previous contract, Kobe Bryant and the Lakers suddenly had a seven-year contract.

For the next seven years, Pelinka, as an agent, was carefree and guaranteed to harvest in drought and flood.

If Bryant jumps out of the player contract and goes to other teams to be the boss, Kobe Bryant can only get a contract for 5 years at most, and the annual increase is only 8%, instead of 10.5%.

The gap between the two max salary contracts is almost 40 million for Kobe Bryant and 1 million less for Pelinka.

It is for this reason that sometimes agents can also be kidnapped by the team.

Of course, Pelinka's advice to Kobe Bryant is not unreasonable.

Also in order to compete for the championship, staying in Los Angeles is undoubtedly the most correct choice.

Whether it's for money, fame, or family, there's always a good way to stay in Los Angeles.

In addition, Bryant also recalled what his lawyer had told him about the handling of the Eagle County incident.

Because he was entangled by the women's boxing organization, what needs to be solved now is not only the "female fans" who set up an immortal jump for him, but also the sharks who smell blood.

In short, if you settle it with money, it will cost more than 10 million yuan.

Because of various expenses such as endorsement liquidated damages, family daily expenses, lawyer team fees, plus tax deductions on the player's contract itself, he needs to come up with at least two and a half years of player salary.

If you leave the Lakers, then you may have to waste another half a year.

When I think of this, Kobe's head is big! Just want to find a punching bag and punch it.

There is no way, you have to accept punishment for doing something wrong. As a man, Kobe Bryant still has the responsibility he deserves.

Faced with the problem of real money, Kobe Bryant still chose to compromise with reality.

"Don't worry, Kobe, we've got your back.

As long as Jim can keep his promise, trade Shaq and put you right.

In the next few years, we still have a chance to win the championship and help you win the Finals MVP, right?

No team has more championship experience than the Los Angeles Lakers!

Maybe Shaq only has these four championships in his life, and you will surpass Michael Jordan! ”

In order to dispel Kobe's concerns, and also to prevent Kobe's mentality from exploding and affecting the next Finals, Pelinka still persuaded Kobe Bryant.

"I'm fine! Michael only won his sixth crown at the age of 35 and I am only 26 years old now!

I know what I'm going to do, Rob, and you can rest assured.

Halftime was almost over, so I went back first. ”

Saying goodbye to Pelinka, Kobe Bryant first went back to the locker room to wash his face, and then hurried to show off a bottle of glucose, basically passing this hurdle.

In other words, without the obsession of grabbing FMVP with O'Neal, Kobe's thoughts have also reached a lot.

After the start of the third quarter, Doon also passed the ball to Kobe Bryant more as agreed.

Kobe Bryant became a "traitor" instead, and began to break through the internal pass, which made O'Neal completely confused.

O'Neal ate several cakes made by Kobe Bryant, until he was fouled by Roaring Tianzun, and then it dawned on him.

"Fack, Kobe Bryant is too sinister, isn't he? You just want me to foul, right? ”

O'Neal, who accumulated 4 fouls and 1 technical foul in the early two and a half quarters, had to sit on the cold bench again.

However, O'Neal had already scored 16 points, 6 rebounds and 2 blocks before he left the game.

If it goes on like this, it's unlikely that you will get a double-double in this game, but it's still easy to score more than 20.

Having said that, after O'Neal went off the court, the Lakers played a fast break under the auspices of Doon.

Many times, Kobe Bryant also stepped up to take the pot and broke the deadlock by his personal strength.

Kobe Bryant's scoring performance in the second half was not as explosive as in the first half, but after playing the third quarter, he had already accumulated 23 points, and was temporarily the highest scorer in the game.

At the end of the third quarter, 81-74, the Lakers led the Pistons by 7 points, and the basic victory was in hand.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Lakers' starting five tigers appeared together again, and tonight the Lakers won the championship and won the cup, and there was no suspense at all.

Half of the fourth quarter was played, and the margin had been stretched to more than 10 points.

Pistons fans left the stadium one after another, but there were still a large number of fans who left the stadium outside the stadium, staring at the big screen outside, hoping for a miracle to happen.

However, there are no miracles.

Even if the Pistons specifically targeted O'Neal for this point, O'Neal quickly received a fifth foul.

However, it was not so easy to get O'Neal's sixth foul.

After all, tonight's Lakers championship is already doomed.

The league also has an explanation for the referee in advance, and some means can be done for the sake of ratings, but it is better not to intervene in the big situation.

Everyone knows that the NBA's six fouls are going to leave the court.

O'Neal, as the leader of the Lakers, left the court early because of six fouls on the night of the Finals championship, and there was also the factor of referee intervention in the first half......

If this really happens, O'Neill will not be embarrassed, but the top of the alliance will be ashamed for a while.

Of course, Zen masters know how to measure.

With more than 6 minutes in the fourth quarter, and with the Lakers leading by 12 points, the Zen master pulled O'Neal down first.

It wasn't until the last three minutes of the fourth quarter that the Zen master put O'Neill back on the court.

At this time, the Lakers still held an 11-point lead.

Larry Brown also tried to use shark slashing tactics, but it gave O'Neal some extra points.

Relying on free throws in the last 3 minutes of 5 of 8 shots, O'Neal originally had 22 points and 7 rebounds, and when the game was over, it became 27 points and 8 rebounds.

"Lakers Championship!"

"Lakers Championship!"

"Lakers Championship!"

With the last few seconds left in the game, the basketball was passed to Kobe Bryant by Doon.

Thousands of Lakers fans from afar shouted slogans again and again, year after year.

In addition to that, there are those who shout "MVP", "Shaq", "Kobe", and "Doon".

At this time, the Lakers bench players on the sidelines have all stood up from the bench and are ready to go.

Get ready to sprint onto the court at the pace of an Olympic sprinter and celebrate the glory of winning the championship with the Lakers' Big Five.

104-96, the Lakers won the finals G4 again with an 8-point advantage!

With the end of the 03-04 NBA Finals in the Auburn Hills Palace Arena, a new championship banner will be raised at the Staples Center soon!
