Kobe Bryant through time

Chapter 63 Seeing Phoenix Again
"Bryant." Alice yelled softly, "I don't know why, I fell in love with you from the first moment I saw you, but I don't know how to say it."

"I don't know if it's just out of goodwill, but I know the extreme desire in my heart, longing to be with you, and afraid of you leaving." Alice paused, and said: "I really hope that you can Get well soon, but, I don’t know why, and I don’t want you to get better so quickly. I feel entangled and conflicted in my heart, and I feel that I am a particularly selfish person.”

Alice smiled bitterly, staring at Ling Yu intently, with tears welling up in her eyes.

Ling Yu sighed deeply, and hugged Alice slightly.

"Alice. Oh no, Vanessa." Ling Yu patted Vanessa's back and said softly, "Okay, I will always be by your side from now on."

It is not easy for a woman to express her inner thoughts, not to mention such things as being in love.

Vanessa twitched, choked up and said, "I really hope it goes on like this."

"Okay, okay! Don't cry!"

Ling Yu exerted a little strength and hugged Vanessa even tighter.And the two just hugged each other like this, no longer talking, there were only slight twitching sounds in the room, and the sound of panting.

Ling Yu sighed slightly, and looked out the window.The morning sun came in through the partition, and the golden color of the place was so dazzling.

Vanessa.Lanny, the woman behind a successful man, is now mine.But why can't I just be happy.

Ling Yu smiled wryly, then looked out the window, it was also a haze...
The curtain of the night was slowly pulled back, the afterglow of the setting sun had long since disappeared, and what was left was the bleakness of that night.However, the interest of the fans will naturally not be affected by this night. They are all in high spirits, holding tickets and anxiously waiting for the gate of the arena to open.

Tonight will be another sleepless night, the Lakers will continue to sit at home tonight against the Phoenix Suns.

Time passed slowly, and after a short announcement, players from both sides entered the court one by one. After a friendly handshake, both teams walked to the sidelines, getting ready to play at any time.

Speaking of which, since Barkley left, the current team has completely lost its former style. Although Nash is the son of wind, the coach at the time was not D'Antoni, and Nash was generally not favored at the time of the draft. The importance of Farr, Nash also lost the opportunity to perform.

Westphal frowned, his expression was unusually serious, and he kept muttering something.This game is extremely important to him, because the Suns have lost 9 games in a row and have not won since the beginning.Before the summer, Phoenix was still the favorite to win the championship, but now it has been reduced to such a field, and everyone is deceiving.This feels like a lord of a country who was admired by thousands of people yesterday, but today is a lowly and lowly common man.

Although the Suns have lost 9 games in a row, Del did not relax at all, and his expression was still tense.In the past few seasons, the Suns were the favorites to win the championship and reached the finals, but luck was not good, and they ran into the Bulls with even hotter momentum. Unfortunately, they missed the championship.

Everyone knows this, and Dell knows it even more. Although Barkley is missing and the 9-game losing streak started, in the eyes of that coach, he dare not underestimate the Suns.

Del frowned, called the players over, and told them, "Although we didn't win a game in front of the sun, we can't underestimate the enemy, do you understand?"

"Ok!"

"Okay! Let's play!" Del hugged his hands and walked towards the bench.At this time, just passing by Ling Yu, Del couldn't help but glanced at it, then immediately frowned, and whispered: "Bryant."

"Eh." Ling Yu looked around in a daze.

"Here." Del patted Ling Yu's shoulder and shouted: "What's going on, I'm so depressed."

Ling Yu smiled wryly, and said, "Maybe it's because I didn't sleep well last night."

"Okay, I'm going to play first."

After speaking, Ling Yu greeted Delbay and ran onto the court.

Del frowned, looking thoughtfully at Ling Yu's figure, his heart was full of congealing clouds.

At the beginning of the game, the Lakers took the lead in obtaining the ball and took the lead in attacking.For this game, the Lakers still used the lineup of the second half of the fourth quarter of the previous game, with Ling Yu on top of the shooting guard and Eddie playing the organization.

"Hey! Bryant." Eddie shouted and threw the ball towards Ling Yu.

"Ah! Hmm!" Ling Yu didn't react, he was stunned for a moment, and then reached out to the ball.However, the Suns players took the lead and slapped the ball away from Ling Yu's hands, then accelerated and ran forward.

"Return to defense."

Eddie yelled and ran back to the backcourt.However, it was already too late. The Suns player flicked the ball into the basket and scored two points.

"Hey! Bryant, pay attention." O'Neal ran to Ling Yu and reminded him in a low voice.

Ling Yu nodded with a smile, and ran over to Eddie.

"Give me the ball."

Eddie did not hesitate, and directly handed the ball to Ling Yu, while he pulled away and ran.

Ling Yu turned around, looked at the defensive player of the Suns in front of him, wiped the sweat from his hands, and slowly dribbled the ball.

"Bryant."

O'Neal was already in position at the basket, and he reached out his hand to call for Ling Yu.Ling Yu took a look, and accelerated to the right, and the Suns players stuck to him like a Band-Aid, not letting go of their defense against Ling Yu for a moment.

At this time, Ling Yu received the ball and hoisted it to the bottom of the basket.O'Neal turned around with a top, bypassing the Suns defenders, and then jumped up high.

Catch the ball, dunk, and just get two points.

Ling Yu wiped the sweat from his nose, and said to himself: I really just can't sleep well, don't really think I can't play.

Ling Yu gritted his teeth and headed towards the player he was defending.

Without Barkley, the Suns' strength really dropped a few notches.The non-nuclear phenomenon made the Suns fight more and more chaotically.

On the contrary, the Lakers played more and more smoothly, leading by 26 points in three quarters.

Rather than saying that the Lakers played well, it is better to say that Ling Yu played well.He used his breakthrough to attract double-teams, and then passed the ball to open teammates, or used his post-up skills to eat the Suns' defenders alone.Just after the third quarter, Ling Yu has scored 26 points, 9 assists and 4 rebounds.

The Suns have no way to deal with the Lakers' offense. Individual defense, no one can defend O'Neal and Ling Yu; the zone defense can easily be disrupted by the Lakers with a pick-and-roll or a strong breakthrough.Westphal on the sidelines could only keep shaking his head, and he didn't even have the strength to shout.

The general situation is over, Westphal simply put on a full substitute.Leading by a large score, the opponent replaced the full bench, and Del also replaced the starter. In the fourth quarter, both sides played with full substitutes, and no one had an advantage on paper.However, relatively speaking, the Lakers' second team, which has Holly, Clausey and other good players, is stronger.

If so, as soon as they played, the Lakers took the lead and caught the Suns by surprise.Westphal hurriedly called a timeout and arranged tactics.Although they are in the second team, they are all born by their own parents. They cannot be ignored as soon as they are replaced and left to fend for themselves.

Simply arrange the tactics, and Westphal replaced Nash.The Lakers continued the second lineup just now, players from both sides entered the field, and the game continued.

Ling Yu picked up the water, took a few sips at once, then stopped, staring at the court motionlessly, and his eyes fell on a fair-skinned, thin man on the court.

Nash, the future two-time MVP, is now the team's third point guard.Is it because Nash's ability is limited, or is it because the Sun's high-level executives don't know Taishan?
Ling Yu sneered, and thought to himself: The Suns are so blind that they let Nash sit on the bench for so many years and trade him.If he had been used earlier, the prototype of the Suns would have been formed long ago.

If the Lakers have such a point guard with a wide vision and excellent organizational skills, their strength will be improved to a higher level.

Nash, Lakers.

A horrifying thought flashed through Ling Yu's mind, Ling Yu couldn't help but shuddered, his spine felt cold, and his eyes couldn't help looking at Nash again.

I saw Nash dribbled the ball to the frontcourt in a regular manner, and then handed it over to the shooting guard or small forward, while he pulled the ball to the bottom line, waiting for a response.Perhaps it was due to Westphal's tactics that Nash's roles were relatively small, and because of this, Nash had less opportunities to express himself. He played for more than 7 minutes without a single shot or an assist, which was useless on the court.

Ling Yu sneered for a while, stared at Nash, picked up the water and poured it up, feeling aggrieved for Nash in his heart.

It's really burying talents and preventing Nash from taking the ball to organize, it's really blinding your dog's eyes.

And just then, Westphal replaced Nash.

Ling Yu gritted his teeth, stood up, and walked towards the Suns bench.

"Steve." Ling Yu shouted, and walked towards Nash who was about to walk to the Suns bench.

Nash was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Kobe Bryant!"

Ling Yu smiled and said, "Steve, your performance tonight was terrible."

Nash let out a long sigh of relief, and seemed dissatisfied and disappointed with his performance.

Ling Yu continued: "Westphal really doesn't know how to use it. It buried all your talents and passing ability."

Nash quickly waved his hand and said in a low voice, "Bryant, don't say that. I'm just a rookie anyway, and I'm sure I won't be taken seriously." As he spoke, Nash lowered his head with a rather depressed expression.

Ling Yu frowned and said: "Your talent lies in passing the ball, you should organize with the ball."

"Your vision is very wide, and the accuracy and strength of the pass are very good. Only when the ball is in your hands can you develop your talents and show your talents."

Ling Yu patted the thoughtful Nash, and said, "Let's do that first, I'm going back."

"Uh, good!" Nash paused and walked back slowly.

I don't know if this will help him.

Ling Yu sighed deeply and continued to watch the ball.At this time, the Lakers had already led by 31 points, and there were only 10 seconds left in the game. Players from both sides chose not to play and waited until the end of the game.

A hearty victory brought the Lakers' winning streak to four games, and the next opponent of the Lakers will be the San Antonio Spurs.
