You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 396
The first away game of the Lakers' eight consecutive away games, the opponent is the Detroit Pistons.

This can be said to be the beginning of a nightmare.

When the Lakers lost to the Pistons in 2004, who suffered the most firepower?

Everyone on the earth knows that it is Kobe. In the five finals, he averaged 22.6 shots per game and shot 38%, which is 2001 percentage points lower than Allen Iverson in 2.But in that situation at that time, the pot of losing must be pinned to his head.The matter of the shark leaving later is not the point, so I won't mention it.Kobe Bryant because of taking too many shots, coupled with the Sharks tirelessly signaled his partner not to pass the ball.

Kobe didn't pass the ball and became a popular stalk for a while.

Later, every time the Lakers played against the Pistons, Kobe pursued a pass-first team basketball strategy.

He just wants people to see if he can help the Lakers win without taking a lot of shots.

The answer is no, at least not today.

In the first away game, against the Pistons, the Lakers were limited to less than 80 points.

This is rare in the golden age of offense.

Kobe Bryant shot 13 goals, less than Weixia.Wei Xia took a lot of shots, but his hit rate was low. He didn't know what happened. He was very excited and excited, and had a strong desire to perform. His explosive power was comparable to that of No. 24 of the same team.

With this battle, he successfully made Kobe carry a bag of rice on several floors, and he knew the mood and thoughts of his teammates who saw his self-confidence soar when they saw him hit the iron infinitely.After 3 minutes of in-depth reflection, the answer was: How could Wei Xia's face dare to make 22 shots when the hand feels so bad?
After the game, Kobe asked Wei Xia why he had to shoot so many balls.

Wei Xia justifiably refuted Kobe: "If you didn't insist on passing the ball to win the game, if you shot 33 times instead of 13 tonight, do you think I have a chance to shoot 22 balls?"

He politely beat Kobe back.

Losing to the Pistons was the beginning of a nightmare for the Lakers.

A few days later, the Lakers went abroad for official business, in Toronto, against the Raptors.

Seeing the Raptors' team logo, Kobe cheered up and had the arrogance to make his opponent relive his 81 points.

81 points is not what Kobe can come if he wants to. Due to his poor hand feeling, he made 30 of 10 shots and led the Lakers to a 92-94 loss to their opponents, claiming a two-game losing streak.

"The scariest thing is that Kobe turned into a fool. He suddenly didn't know what was right and what was wrong. He took fewer shots, and the Lakers couldn't win. He took a lot of shots, and the Lakers still couldn't win. Now they have fallen to sixth in the Western Conference. If they continue to lose, they may fall out of the top eight in the Western Conference."

The media's evaluation hit the nail on the head. Kobe, who wore No. 24, hoped that he would be different from No. 8. At the age of 28 and a half, he was eager to prove that he was mature.

Reducing shots and not being a hero is his way of showing maturity.

Before the Lakers suffered extensive injuries inside, he was praised for taking fewer shots.Now, the inside line can no longer support the team, and Kobe's reduced shots made him unable to find the offensive state of Yushenshenshen.It's rare that a lot of shots don't feel good, and the media wants to criticize him again.

The media is really cheap, and it's disgusting to play with the wind.

But when things got to this point, Kobe himself is also responsible.

If it weren't for his amazing offensive performance in the regular season last year, the outside world would not have great expectations for his super god mode.It can be said that it is he himself who has brought the expectations of the media and fans for the Lakers to a height that shouldn't be there.

Two days later, in the focus game, the Lakers played against the Cavaliers, and the league played the title of 23 VS 24 for the first time in history.

ESPN pre-match series of interviews, TNT live broadcast across the United States, the media frantically looking for Kobe and James topics.

On the night of the game, under the joint efforts of Wecha and Kobe, James played a game that made his fans look down.

He made 19 of 4 shots. If it weren't for the strong home referees who allowed him to stand on the free throw line 12 times, he would have scored single-digit points.

韦夏和科比锁住了詹姆斯的同时，一个砍下砍下34分6篮板5助攻，一个砍下26分10篮板4助攻，而且命中率都超过了50%。

A perfect pas de deux, but the result of the competition was not satisfactory.

99 is better than 90
When James was blown out, the Cavaliers beat the Lakers by 9 points.

James' personal offense was locked, but he did a good job mobilizing the team, with 13 assists in a single game.

The Cavaliers' interior completely dominated the game.

In contrast to the Lakers, only Wei Xia and Kobe scored in double figures.

The Cavaliers' winning point is undoubtedly the inside line.

The Lithuanian scored 22+13, Drew Gooden scored 15 points and 9 rebounds, and the most outstanding was Andre Varejao, a Brazilian known for his softness. Facing the Lakers' No. 17 position, he acted like Kevin Garnett at his peak.

Wei Xia and Kobe scored 60 points together, reaching 2/3 of the team's scoring, shooting more than 7%, and then because the inside was blown up, no third person on the team scored in double figures except them.

Three consecutive defeats!
Kobe was so angry that even Odom, his friend from childhood, couldn’t bear it: "When Lamar was on the court, we played five and four in both offense and defense. Once the ball fell into his hands, he behaved like a Cavaliers player!"

Wei Xia also said euphemistically: "Some of our players are not in good condition."

Zen Master, who is used to seeing strong winds and waves, pretended to be profound: "This is the 'process' for the Lakers to become a championship team again."

I hope Kobe will not be driven crazy before the "process" is over.

Two days later, before the All-Star weekend, the Lakers still have two games.

This game was against the New York Knicks.

Madison Garden is the big stage. Kobe likes the big stage the most. He has lost three games in a row. Can't even lose to the Knicks?They're from the bottom team.

In the past few years, the Knicks + Isiah Thomas have been a scene of dumbfounding jokes and surreal reality shows.

The Smiling Assassin has a superhuman imagination and an unusually big heart. He dares to make decisions, has the courage to swallow a big contract, has the ambition to form a super team, recreates the vision of "show him" the Lakers, and acts like a crazy gambler.

It's not a good thing to have all of these things at the same time as the general manager of a big team that has taken some pains to rebuild.

The result is the same. The Smiling Assassin has achieved all the impossible, making the real story so ridiculous, and making Silent Love, who has been dying on the street for 13 years, still take his words with relish.

The game that night was a bit dramatic.

The Lakers and the Knicks played a stalemate that hasn't been seen for a long time.

The Smiling Assassin, who fired four coaches in a row, picked up the coach again under the boss's order. He brought out a ridiculous and terrifying team.

The ridiculous thing is that this team is aiming for the championship at the beginning of the season, but looking at the record, it seems to be full of hunger for Greg Oden or Kevin Durant, and then looking at their draft pick reserves, well, this team has such a bad record, but it has already traded its first round in 2007 for something.

Just look at the lineup, Jamal Crawford, Stephen Marbury.Quentin Richardson, David Lee, Steve Francis, and Nate Robinson are all good guys. The lineup reserves and personnel depth are not bad, but the whole building is picked up, but it is a shabby project. There is no doubt that it is an outstanding representative of the "gathering is a pile of shit, scattered is full of stars" in the 00s.

Even a lump of shit has the determination to disgust the Lakers.

The Knicks took full advantage of their inside advantage and took turns attacking.In the last minute of the game, the Knicks led the Lakers by 1 point.

At the critical moment, Kobe sealed his throat with a sword and helped the Lakers get a 1-point lead again.

The smiling assassin called a timeout.

At the end of the timeout, Crawford faced Wesha and made an amazing back-to-back dribble.

What kind of team, what kind of people.

What time is it, are you still in this show?
Teams that dare to show off at critical moments are either too strong to find excitement, or the bottom of the record is not pressured. The Knicks are a miracle that neutralizes the two characteristics. They have strength, but the head coach cannot make the best use of them.

Such a strong team that is at the bottom of the list and wants to win the championship, and the ball handler is willing to show off, so there is nothing to say about the viewing.

Crawford showed off Weixia, passed through the defense, and passed Curry back.

Curry picked up the ball, swung his 230-cm arm to dunk and scored, and the Knicks took the lead again.

The Lakers came back from a timeout, Kobe didn't catch the ball, Wesha was inconvenient in the corner, and the resourceful Smush Parker handed the ball to Odom, who was in a weird state like a roller coaster.

Odom used the unpredictable "Gan Lin Niang who knows what this is" dance step to shake Curry away and throw the ball.

Then, let David Lee, who is least likely to offer assistance in blocking blocks, jump up with all his strength, catch up with the flying ball, and the cap goes out of bounds, and the time just reaches 0.

beep!
The Knicks narrowly won, giving the Lakers a four-game losing streak.

The weirdest thing happened.

Wei Xia and Kobe were doubting their lives, and the winning Knicks, led by Crawford, shouted at the crowd: "We are-"

"Champion!!!" Eddie Curry answered like a retard.

Then, they surrounded each other: "We are—"

"champion!"

Everyone shouted together.

Kobe was stunned, and Wei Xia felt a twitch in his lower abdomen. The pain of losing the game was not worth the joke at this time.

He laughed quickly.

Kobe doubted life even more: "%!￥!~￥%!@"

After some terrible Italian swearing, Bryant sighed: "What the hell did we do to lose to this kind of team?"
