Chapter 72 That's the Greatest Nation

The game on May 5, EST, may be the happiest game for Lakers fans and Kobe fans this season. Kobe scored 6 points, 63 rebounds, and 12 assists. Kobe became the terminator of almost all possessions

Lakers fans understand that Kobe has sacrificed too much for the championship and for the benefit of the team!But today they suddenly discovered that Fei Xia had been with them all along, as long as he wanted, Kobe could still score 81 points

In fact, Kobe's performance today is not as simple as Kobe himself said. You must know that the previous record for the highest scoring in a single game in the NBA regular season was 100 points scored by Wilt Chamberlain and Zhang Dashuai, and Kobe was the second. 2006 points, this game is also called by many people as Kobe's God of War
Now Kobe scored 2007 points in the second round of the 2008-63 Western Conference playoffs against the Jazz. This record was Jordan's 1986 points against the Boston Celtics on May 5, 20. , set a record for the highest score in a single playoff game in the league, that is to say, Kobe is now tied with Michael Jordan's record, and now the outside media has already quarreled
And the answer after the Kobe game, "Because I am Kobe", also became the self-conceited declaration of many star players a few years later.
Of course, it’s not just Kobe’s words that have become classics, but also Sloan’s helpless expression after the game, “I don’t know what to do. It’s not that we are not the opponents of the Lakers, but today’s Kobe seems to be possessed.” , we are not wronged by the loss, but we will work harder."

As a well-known victorious coach in the NBA, his formation and tactical arrangements in the game are remarkable, but all this was disrupted by Kobe

They allowed Kobe to score 24 points in the first quarter. Not only did he attack, but he also often served as an offensive initiator on the organizational side. When the Lakers stopped the Jazz for the second time, the Jazz’s offensive and defensive strengths had improved. But Kobe made two breakthroughs in a row, and Ouyang was also awesome, with two three-pointers, he beat the Jazz down.
Kobe didn't play in the second quarter, but the Spanish tower told the Jazz that the Lakers were no longer the only one fighting alone.Even Barkley, who has always been at odds with his home search, admits that today's Gasol is a real top insider
By the time Kobe Bryant appeared again in the second half, the Jazz was about to collapse, and the Lakers had already achieved victory at the end of the third quarter. The Lakers had already begun to show their championship edge

Today is May 5th, but all the Lakers did not rest. After training, they gathered in the tactical room to watch the second game between the Spurs and the Hornets
"I think the Spurs will win today. They beat the Hornets by 13 points in the first game, and what kind of GDP combination they have is really amazing. I think Paul, hang on." This is Odom's speech. pouted
"Not necessarily. This Duncan is the core of their tactics. His greatest advantage is his stability. He averaged 20 plus 10 per game in the regular season, but his biggest flaw is his stability. The Spurs led by him were defeated by their stability." Ouyang Yingdao, who was arranging the equipment alone

"Huh? Isn't 20 plus 10 not good?'" Odom didn't understand what Ouyang said.
Ouyang went on to say, "Maybe they are great, and Duncan is incomprehensible. I don't think everyone has any opinions, but it is difficult for Duncan to lead the team to break the whirlwind attack wave when they are far behind. Of course, maybe they can slow down. Slowly kill the opponent, but once the opponent stabilizes, it will be difficult for the Spurs to win or lose."

Seeing that everyone nodded in agreement, Odom scratched his head, "It sounds very reasonable."

"Haha, Lamar Yue is a super rookie. Don't underestimate him. At the beginning of the season, didn't Yue comment on the Celtics making the Big Three! He said that the core of their offense will be the little strong Pierce, Gane Special will be able to become the core of the defense, how about it, now it is confirmed! Ouyang's golf intelligence is better than yours, hehe." The interface is Sasha Vujacic
"Cut, I have no problem with being smart, but it's none of your business, sycophant, hehe" said it and ate a piece of candy
"Well, I also think what Yue said makes sense." Kobe walked in from the outside. He had been training alone just now, and Ouyang was looking for him to prepare the equipment.
"Huh? You're flattering too. Ah, it's Kobe, so haha" Turning around, Odom was about to educate who is so blind and saw Kobe who was so busy
"Haha." Everyone laughed at this moment.
It is now May 5th, which is the day when the Lakers will go to Salt Lake City to challenge the Jazz. Tomorrow they will fight hard against the Jazz who is cornered!And yesterday's game, the Hornets really won, this time Odom is really stupid

On the plane, it was quiet. Everyone is used to this kind of quietness before the game, this kind of rejuvenation!Although the game is tomorrow

Sitting in the first row is Kobe and Zen Master. They will discuss various situations and tactics before the game every time, but this time their target is Ouyang "Hey, Kobe, you have found a perfect successor for yourself." Man, graduated from the same high school, and both are high school students to join the NBA"

Listening to Zen Master's words, Kobe smiled lightly, "Actually, strictly speaking, Ouyang can't be said to be my successor. He grew up with his own efforts. I just let him learn from what I know. He is really great. "

"Haha, it's rare to hear you praise someone so much, but this Ouyang is indeed very similar to you, really very similar, I hope he can reach your height in the future"

Kobe just nodded, but replied in his heart, "Let's look forward to it."

After getting off the plane, everyone rested in the hotel, only Kobe brought Ouyang to their temporary training ground
"Ouyang, I was injured and rested here last time. It can be said that the Jazz lost to you that time, but now you have to know that this is the playoffs. Well, I say you did a good job on this point." Great, you adjusted quickly, but don't relax, you must know that the current Jazz has been cornered."

Every time Kobe speaks, Ouyang listens very seriously. He knows that Kobe is doing it for his own good, to make himself familiar with everything in the NBA as soon as possible, so he dare not slack off in the slightest.

"When a team is really in a desperate situation, then they have two choices! One, completely admit defeat. Two, is to burst out with unexpected energy, but generally can reach the playoffs The team will be second, so we can't be careless because we haven't won yet."

Listening to Kobe's words, a Chinese celebrity he likes suddenly appeared in Ouyang's mind - Lu Xun!Because Lu Xun said: Don't die in silence, just explode in silence
Shaking his head to drive out the weird thoughts in his mind, "We—try hard"

"effort"

"Kobe, you were like a god possessed in Los Angeles last game, so will you win this game?"

Now it is the first game of the Lakers to challenge the Jazz, and it is also the third game of the series. As soon as the Lakers bus stopped, Kobe was blocked. After all, his last game was too bad

"What do you think?" Kobe smiled lightly and walked into the arena first. Now is not the time for an interview.

Everyone followed Kobe, and Ouyang walked in the third place, which was recognized by the whole team. Just when Ouyang was about to enter the arena, a somewhat hasty question came

"Ouyang, how do you think of your nation? You must know that the rise of China has caused panic among many teams"

Ouyang stopped in his tracks. He didn't know why he asked this question now, but Ouyang felt the need to answer, but when Ouyang turned around, he saw a delicate face, "Lin Xiao? Well, that's the greatest nation in the world."
