NBA: I really just want to be a second-in-command

Chapter 224
In this game, when Kobe and Lu Yusheng played, it finally ended with the Lakers winning.

But in this game, Iverson returned to his peak and scored 48 points. Although he lost the game, at least he played happily.

After the game, Kobe took the initiative to hug Iverson.

The two hugged each other and smiled, and the feeling of tension in the arena just now was gone.

"You played well. It seems that you are okay. You have not been traded until you have no value." Kobe said deliberately.

"Hey, I proposed the deal on my own initiative, you must figure it out." Iverson laughed, "You know, my strength is still there."

"If it doesn't work, come play with the Lakers," Bryant said.

"Just kidding, come here to be your younger brother? Do you think I'm that kind of person? I'm not that kind of person." Iverson said, "Besides, can you guys eat my brother's contract?"

"I can convince them to sign you with a veteran's basic salary."

"Screw you!"

Kobe also laughed, "Come on man, I don't want you to sign the veteran's basic salary, I still hope you can fight with me on the court like today."

"Of course, I will always be your trouble." Iverson smiled and hugged Kobe, "By the way, I want to tell you, you guys feel very good this year, especially your rookie, really good .”

Kobe smiled, "Really? Why do I feel so-so, far from when we were rookies?"

"Don't be so stupid, he can still compare with me when I was a rookie. You were not a substitute when you were a rookie. You averaged less than [-] points per game. How can you compare with others?" Iverson said.

"Yeah, that's because our coach didn't give me a chance at all. If I were given a chance, my performance in my rookie year would never lose to you." Kobe said.

"Okay, okay, I'll brag when I tell you this, let's talk about it now, this season, we have to play well, maybe we will meet in the playoffs."

"Preferably in the Western Conference Finals," Bryant said, "but I don't know if you guys can make it to the Western Conference Finals."

"Oh? Is this looking down on me or looking down on Anthony? That guy is good." Iverson said.

"I'm just kidding," Kobe laughed. "Your lineup is also great this year. I think you should be able to go a long way. I really hope to see you in the Western Conference Finals."

"Good brother, come on!"

The two hugged together. After the hug, Iverson was about to leave when he suddenly saw Lu Yusheng of the Lakers standing aside and looking at him.

Lu Yusheng actually wanted to ask Iverson to sign a photo, but Kobe had been talking to Iverson, so it was inconvenient for him to come forward and disturb him.

But after the two of them finished talking, Lu Yusheng seemed to have lost his courage suddenly, and he was a bit at a loss.

But unexpectedly, Iverson took the initiative to speak to him.

"Hey bro, you're playing well, let's shake hands."

This flattered Lu Yusheng, he hurried over, shook hands with Iverson, and then hugged.

"It's like this, Alan. Actually, I'm your loyal fan. I want to ask you to sign an autograph, is that okay?" Lu Yusheng laughed.

This made Iverson obviously a little surprised, he smiled, "Of course, come on."

Iverson took a group photo with Lu Yusheng. After taking the photo, he took off his jersey, signed it and gave it to Lu Yusheng.

"I told Kobe just now that we didn't have your performance in our rookie year, so, boy, come on, I don't know if you know, I have been following your game since you entered the league, And in front of the media, I have always said that you will become a cross-generational player." Iverson said.

Lu Yusheng nodded respectfully, "I know that you have always supported me. I know all this, but I have never had the opportunity to thank you in person. In my heart, you are the defender with the best dribbling skills."

"Oh, I dare not admit this, you are welcome, little brother, playing well is the best thanks to me, goodbye." Saying that, Iverson waved goodbye to him.

Lu Yusheng looked at Iverson's back, feeling in his heart that this is the real senior.

He discovered one thing, that is, in the basketball world, those real masters have always been modest. They can be proud and arrogant on the court, but after the court, they always maintain a humble state. They never say that they Yes, and always have an attitude of encouragement and appreciation for my juniors.

They never say where they are in history, what kind of status they are, including Mr. Jordan, when he won six championships and retired after two three consecutive championships, the reporter asked him if he had surpassed those predecessors , becoming the first in history.

But what did Mr. Jordan say?He said, I can't be arrogant and say that I am the number one in history, because it is unfair to those seniors, because I have not really played against them, and the most I can do is to be in the finals with Magic Johnson I met once, but I always think that it doesn't count. After all, the magician was not in good health at that time, and he was no longer at his peak, so I can't say that I have surpassed those seniors. It is disrespectful to them. I haven't played against them.

Even Kobe, in people's hearts, he is selfish and proud, but facing the same problem, Kobe said, I have never ranked myself in the top ten in history, I am still far behind them, and I am still working hard.

Lu Yusheng believes that those players who frequently rank themselves in history are most likely to be a little guilty and unworthy of morality. They have a guilty conscience and urgently need to prove themselves with these empty-headed things.

This is their true mentality, but in fact, history has its own opinion about historical rankings. How did you get that honor in the first place? When you were playing, you had your fans to protect you. No one is too lazy to talk about it.

After that, you will always have a time to retire. After you retire, everyone will judge you fairly, and history will judge your honor fairly. Everyone can easily understand how your honor came about.

Lu Yusheng was thinking about this, when he suddenly raised his head and saw Kobe staring at him.

"What's wrong?" Lu Yusheng asked.

"How did I not know you were his fan?" Bryant said.

"You didn't ask me." Lu Yusheng said, "I'm your fan, and his fan too. You all play very well. What's the problem?"

"Of course there is a problem," Kobe said. "When facing your idol, you must put away your star-chasing mentality. There is only one way to make him remember you, and that is to blow him up!"

Lu Yusheng: ...

Brother, I believe, I know you have always treated your idols like this.
