Healing Basketball

Chapter 170 170. Play Kobe Buff?

In the living room of a villa in Los Angeles.

Former Lakers general manager Jerry West and current general manager Mitch Kupchak are watching TV.

On February 2th, the Lakers will face the Grizzlies at home. Yesterday, during the game between the Trail Blazers and the Lakers, the man with the logo came to Los Angeles. He was invited by Kupchak to have breakfast at his home early this morning.

After breakfast, I was invited to watch TV again.

Probably the tradition of the Lakers, there is a pile of today's morning papers on the coffee table.

"Jerry, the replay is on."

"I saw."

"..."

"..."

Time Warner Cable Sports replay in the paid version in the California area, 71 minutes, no commercials, no intermissions, most of the dead balls are cut off after a timeout... Pure version, the entire replay process, the two people who loved to discuss the game together, silence, not talking.

You can know the mood of the two by looking at the headlines of the sports newspaper on the coffee table.

"LogoMan's failure in life - the wrong heir"

"Have the present and the future at the same time - Mickey Mouse chooses to reject the future"

"..."

"..."

whose tears are flying...

This bunch is all related to Lakers general manager Kupchak.

Pure sarcasm.

"The strongest first-round [-]th pick comes to NBA"

"Jackson + Kidd combined, the strongest rookie king"

"Brutal Rookie Runs Spit Bryant"

"35+15+5, the last such rookie was named Duncan"

"..."

"..."

This bunch is touting Liu Xiu.

Logoman and Kupchak began to pay more attention to Liu Xiu after Liu Xiu got her first triple-double in 03.

Later, Liu Xiu scored 52 points against the Grizzlies, and they paid more attention to Liu Xiu than the stars of their own team.

It's been a long time, and they haven't seen Liu Xiu praised so much by the media!

Occasionally the news will say that Liu Xiu is good. There are only two situations. One is that the Trail Blazers beat the Cavaliers, and the emperor wins the warden.

The other is to beat them to the Lakers.

BeatLA, the eternal topic.

The Trail Blazers-Lakers rivalry in the Western Conference Finals a few years ago, and…

The replay came to an end, and the scene came to the scene where Liu Xiu was fouled by Kobe, and Kobe turned around and walked out of the three-point line...then ran to the technical stage and vomited.

Most of the other dead balls were lost, but this time the dead ball took a long time...

"Jerry, look, the thirteenth pick in the first round that you don't want is throwing up the thirteenth pick in the first round that you wanted!"

"..."

The logo man looked at the face of the student in front of him!That is called a yin and yang, but it is full of resentment and grief.

But also understandable...

The man with the logo replied: "It's the first time I've seen Kobe so tired. The warden is so smart. He has been running with Kobe since he came on the court. Kobe himself also had problems, he was too conceited, he didn't notice that he was being consumed, and when he was posted by the warden in the fourth quarter, he was still very active in confronting the opponent..."

A series of hashtags popped up on Kupchak's forehead-did I ask you to analyze why Kobe was thrown out?

On the TV screen, Liu Xiu made two free throws to seal the victory, and there was an interview after the game.

Former Trail Blazers superstar, former Clippers player, former Celtics player, and current Time Warner Cable sports commentator Bill Walton conducted a post-match interview with Liu Xiu.

Before the interview, Bill Wharton had a bloody blow: "The general scored 35 points, 16 rebounds and 7 assists tonight. He is the best rookie I have ever seen. His leadership is phenomenal. He is on the court. The Trail Blazers turned into a completely different team when we played..."

The former and current general managers of the Lakers are very sure of one thing-Bill Walton gave Liu Xiu the nickname "General" before, and he must have drunk fake wine.

Liu Xiu and the nickname 'General', at present, are separated by a lot of Avery Johnson.

After that day, Bill Wharton never mentioned the nickname 'The General' again.

But tonight, as the Lakers' triple enemy, Bill Walton yelled "The General" and that's a kick.

"Mitch, Luke Walton is a very talented kid, but he doesn't seem to be playing very well. You can arrange more training for him. Such a good gene cannot be wasted."

"Jerry, you are right. We take care of the gifted child too little, and give him more help."

At this moment, the idea of ​​the logo man and Mickey Mouse seems to have returned to the unprecedented unity when building a lineup around the OK combination.

But then it doesn't work again...

Liu Xiu was interviewed after the game by Time Warner Cable Sports.

After Bill Wharton blew a wave, he began to interview Liu Xiu: "General, congratulations on winning this game. How do you feel now?"

"The Lakers are the strongest team in the league. I would be surprised if they don't win a championship this season. Beating them is really something to be happy about."

"Did you know the Lakers were going to trade you for George and Medvedenko?"

"I've heard of it, but the Lakers turned it down. It's a pity. I like big cities. Los Angeles is my favorite city. It's my dream to go to a team with such a deep basketball background. It's a pity... ..."

Kupchak watched this interview last night.

But seeing this he turned off the TV.

As for what Liu Xiu said, Kupchak felt that every single sentence was the truth, but when combined together, he just didn't believe it!
Before Liu Xiu scored 52 points on the Grizzlies, he said similar things to the Grizzlies!
After the draft, the Lakers did not complete a deal with the Grizzlies, it was reported at the time.

At that time, the logo man and Kupchak chatted about the deal more casually, without backing anyone, and at that time it was a deal about several substitutes and a lottery lottery lottery. It was only sold for 10 dollars, and the Lakers staff had two extra packs of cigarettes.

At that time, it was just a rumor, and it didn't cause any waves, just a piece of news on the page.

But a while ago, the logo boy Shuixi was introduced to Kupchak, and Liu Xiu immediately won the All-Star ticket champion, and he took the initiative to mention this matter last night...

This matter was turned up and became a hot topic!

Kupchak tried to turn off the TV again, but this time he chose to watch it.

"You threw up Kobe Bryant tonight, it's unbelievable, he's notoriously strong...how did you do that?"

"Me? It doesn't have much to do with me, maybe he's weak... I didn't get his call, can you pass on my suggestion to me? Although he has won three consecutive championships, he can't slack off. You have to know how to control yourself, you don't know how to be young... ahem, exercise more, don't waste your talent."

Bill Wharton seemed to be stuttering for a moment and made a mistake again, "uh" for a while and didn't know what to say-let others work harder and not waste their talent, you have the nerve to talk about others because you are so lazy that you get out of the circle because of laziness?

Finally, I asked Bill Walton a question: "Who do you think is stronger, Bryant or O'Neal?"

"Kobe, Kobe is the strongest shooting guard, no one should be better than him, in my heart, he is the contemporary Jordan.

I'd love to see someone successfully challenge him for the No. [-] shooting guard title.

Kobe scored 41 points tonight, the highest in the game. His scoring, defense, and passing... are too good. If it weren't for his body being overstretched to the end, it would be difficult for us to win. "

Bill Walton wants a thumbs up!He likes this answer.

"General, you played about the same time as Bryant tonight, aren't you tired?"

"I'm okay, I'm just a little hungry... this is called pancake fruit... uh... it's not a fruit, it's a snack in our country, you deserve a taste..."

Seeing that the interview had turned into Liu Xiu taking snacks from his backpack, Kupchak turned off the TV.

The back should be gone, and besides, he really couldn't bear to watch it anymore.

Crazy to bring hatred to their Zijin Legion!
And he also provoked the OK group while giving Kobila hatred!

"Jerry, this rookie doesn't consider the feelings of their insiders? He said that, next time Shaq beats them, he must eat Wallace and Randolph?"

"I don't think he's afraid. Shaq almost ate Wallace and Randolph last night."

"..."

Kupchak was speechless.

Yes, last night the Lakers had the advantage inside. They chased after the 9-point difference in the last 10 minutes of the last quarter, overtook the score at one point, and finally dragged into overtime.

O'Neal had 25 points, 19 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 blocks, and he has performed like this for a while.

The rookies are not afraid of their inside line being beaten at all, because they have already been beaten like that...

Thinking about it this way, he really has nothing to do with that rookie!

Looking at the man with the logo, Kupchak's eyes became more and more resentful.

"Ahem... Mickey, I heard that Old Buzz wants to have a meeting with you again?"

"Yes, but this is not important, I just need to wait to win the championship."

The logo man heard the words... He also felt that there was nothing wrong with the words.

In the operation of forming the Big Four, after Payton and Malone successfully integrated into the triangle offense, the logo man felt that this was a divine operation.

Although the full-level account was almost collapsed earlier, the joining of Peyton and Ma Long temporarily relieved the pressure of the collapse.

The most important point - naked sign!
Two years middle class + one year base salary, so what if you are old?And old and old, Malone is really good, even the 40-year-old Malone is the most powerful forward that O'Neal has ever partnered with.

No matter what, as long as you win the championship, everything will be fine!
As the rookie said, the man with the logo was surprised that the Lakers couldn't win the championship.

The Trail Blazers gave everything last night, and they narrowly won by dragging down the Lakers in double overtime.

So, Kupchak doesn't care if the boss talks to him.

With the Big Four in hand, he can hold on!

The reason for his eccentricity now is not what kind of blame he will encounter next, but the thirteenth overall rookie in the first round who can be replaced with a few substitutes, and he did not change!

Logo male All-Star center Divac is replaced by high school rookie Kobe, which is now regarded as a god-level operation.

Basketball fans may not know how strong the logo male player was, or how strong his ability to build a team is...but they all know that he is Kobe Bole.

Kupchak also wants to have a god-level trade that people will never forget for a long time like the logo man.

But now that the momentum continues, the logo man is about to become a prophecy—the next Bob Bass... No!

The logo man brought the disaster to him, Mickey Mouse!
The Grizzlies got Bunch Wells, and they jumped from 28 wins to a 50+ win-level team. In less than 50 games, the Grizzlies have won 29 wins, creating a new victory in team history field record.

Kupchak was horrified to find that the clown was myself!

……

……

Portland, Rose Garden Arena.

There was only training in the afternoon, and the team did not arrange work in the morning, but the Trail Blazers players came to the arena one after another around noon.

Because at noon today, the All-Star substitute voting list will be announced!
The coaches of 29 teams submitted their list of All-Star players on the 3rd.

The east and west each choose 7 players, each with two guards, two forwards, one center, and two free agents. The restriction is that they are not allowed to choose their own team players.

Second in the West, there must be an All-Star substitute, right?
But that's not really a sure thing.

Because they are in the West!
Look at this year's western insider group, O'Neal, Yao Ming, Duncan, Garnett, Nowitzki, Brad Miller...

Randolph and Tianzun sat together, looking like a brother in distress.

In the past two years, the Trail Blazers won 49 and 50 wins, but did not have an All-Star, because their strongest players are inside players.

And then there's the reputation of their prison team...

In the 99-00 and 00-01 seasons, Tianzun was selected as an All-Star.

The strength and performance of Tianzun in those two years were not as strong as in the past two years.

Randolph and Tianzun, who are likely to be selected as All-Stars, are worrying about gains and losses. The others are waiting for the start of the live broadcast, chatting about yesterday's game and today's news.

Talking about the news that Liu Xiu was blown up by the media...

"As expected of me."

"35 points, small meaning, what is my highest score? You should have gotten it too? No? Oh, you have to work hard."

"It's okay, it's not so tiring to play with you..."

Liu Xiu successfully healed the hearts of his teammates with a bunch of humble words, and a wave of healing points was recorded.

Then he fled away, distanced himself from his excited teammates.

Even far away from the training ground, Liu Xiu could still hear his teammates exhale, which made him very relieved.

Look, how energetic everyone is!

Coming to the video room, Liu Xiu found video clips of the Jazz to study tomorrow's opponents.

As for the media hype... just look at it.

After a few days, it will change back to the old way.

Liu Xiu has long been used to the faces of the media.

He is being praised so much now only because he led the team to defeat the Lakers. The popularity of 'revenging the Lakers' is higher than that of 'stepping on the warden'.

And even if the damned media really started to change the tide of public opinion, he would still have to do what the warden should do.

What to do now-the last two games, keep the second place in the West!

In the first five games in February, the original plan was to win the Nuggets, Clippers, and Jazz, and the Lakers and Timberwolves each won one game.

4 wins and 1 loss, let's look at the match between the Timberwolves and the Spurs, and the match between these two teams and the Pistons.

Now, both the Timberwolves and the Spurs have lost 14 games, the Trail Blazers have lost 13 games, and the Trail Blazers have lost against both teams this season. Next, they will play the Timberwolves at home on the 8th...

In short, the Jazz must win tomorrow!

After watching the video of the Jazz for a while, Liu Xiu was sure that tomorrow's game must be ugly.

Since Kirilenko's potential was unearthed, he has continued to improve, and the Jazz's defense has continued to improve, but the offense is extremely poor, with an average of less than 90 points per game. Both scoring and conceding points are under 2004 points.

In the end, Liu Xiu could only come to a helpless conclusion - to watch the fight at that time.

The Jazz broke the offense, relying on defense to almost rush to [-]% of the winning percentage.

It was almost time for the live broadcast of the alliance's press conference, so Liu Xiu left the video room and went back to the training ground.

I couldn't help but glanced at the reward I got last night.

The two missions of 'Curious Kobe' and 'OK's Trend' gave a total of 8000 healing points. He was very happy. It was the first time he tried naan. The point is another bonus.

"Mamba type (buff): When the host competes with Mamba type players, it can additionally copy its characteristics or be good at 1 skill conversion talent.

List of Mamba players: 1. Kobe Bryant. 2. None. "

Liu Xiu really wants to play against the Lakers now!
'Physical stamina' is already awesome, Kobe's other traits...  

Periodic touch explosion?
A bonus to the center's passing ability?

or something else?
When she saw the list of 'Mamba' players, Liu Xiu felt that the master of the system was targeting the little blacksmith on the west coast.

The term "Black Mamba" was associated with Kobe. It was first interviewed after completing Dynasty in 2002. The reporter asked Kobe what he would choose if he used an animal to describe himself like O'Neal.

Example 'guide fish'.

This is a fish that lives in symbiosis with sharks.

But Kobe didn't talk about the sea at all, but answered "Black Mamba", claiming to be the coldest and loneliest killer in the desert.

Not many people know this nickname yet, and now Kobe doesn't have much qualifications to go and say who is Mamba.

This buff can be completely renamed - a special buff for playing Kobe!
