Chapter 390 A Little Excited

At the moment the victory was confirmed, some Lakers fans danced, some embraced each other, and some shouted with emotion. Even the security personnel who are usually responsible for security work and need to keep serious all the time applauded and celebrated together. The entire Staples Center instantly Becoming a sea of ​​joy, winning this yellow-green battle was too enjoyable and exhausting.

TNT reporter Maggio, who had been waiting on the sidelines for a long time, stepped on high heels, trotted all the way to Kobe’s side, raised the microphone, and said in an excited and slightly trembling voice: “What a dramatic game! This belongs to the Lakers. Great victory, how do you feel now?"

With the Celtics strong, to complete the season's double play, of course it's great!

"Oh!!! I feel great! It's like winning here for the first time back in that year!" Kobe took the microphone with his left hand, raised it with his right hand to point to the audience, and saluted in a circle, "This victory, To all Lakers fans! To Los Angeles!"

The fans at the scene heard the news, and the cheers exploded again. Carter and Rondo stood behind Kobe and danced funny.

Maggio suppressed a smile and asked again: "In the first quarter, you felt cold and trailed by a full 18 points. Then you started to chase points in the second quarter and hit a 9-0 shock wave. What did you do at that time? Adjustment?"

"Very routine adjustments, reducing shots and increasing the number of times of attacking the inside, Tianyang took the lead in attacking, and the effect was very good. On the other hand, we also worked hard on defense. Kuzma and Randall performed very well. So we reversed it!" Bryant spread his hands, and Tatum stepped up and began to give him a shoulder massage.

Maggio nodded, "You played two full quarters in the second half. This is the longest time you have played since your comeback, and you even completed a slam dunk at the end. What kind of experience is this for you?"

"Wow!" Kobe pulled up his jersey to wipe his sweat, put his hands on his hips, and showed excitement, "To be honest, I didn't expect that I could play like this, so I said I felt 18 years old, mainly because Tianyang Leaving the field, I was suffocating in my heart and wanted to vent it all the time."

"So will you consider increasing playing time next?" Maggio asked.

"Hmm..." Kobe blinked, "It depends on the situation, mainly depends on the needs of the team!"

...

During Bryant's interview, the entire Lakers team waited.After the interview, Kobe waved his hand, and the entire Lakers team walked to the locker room together.As soon as they entered the player channel, everyone saw Tianyang smilingly welcoming him.

"How is Kuzma?" Bryant asked.

"Doctor Gary said that he needs to recuperate for two weeks, but he didn't hurt any bones." Tianyang replied.

"That's good." Kobe nodded with relief.

"That Horford is too dirty to play, and he is still a bully. No wonder he has not been able to lead the team to achieve good results. And that Smart, pretends to be the best. Unfortunately, he can only teach them twice this year." Hart was indignant Said.

"That's not necessarily the case. The Cavaliers are currently in a bad state. The Raptors Lowry and DeRozan have not proved themselves in the playoffs. The Celtics are very hopeful to reach the finals. As long as we also reach the finals, At that time, we can 'educate' them for another four games!" Nick Yang said with a smile.

Hearing this analysis, the Lakers generals showed excitement again, and Kobe shouted: "Leave the finals aside, the most expensive restaurant in Los Angeles tonight, I invite!"

...

That night, Kobe took the whole Lakers team to Urasawa, the top hot food restaurant in Los Angeles, where the per capita consumption was 395 US dollars, and the consumption was nearly 8000 US dollars.

During the dinner, everyone took photos and shared them on Twitter, INS and other social media, which received many likes and reposts. Kuzma, who was not present because of the injury inspection, left a message under each teammate's sharing to express his dissatisfaction. '.

The Lakers training base, inside the president's office.

Jim smiled and turned off the webpage, "These guys had a great time and didn't worry about the outside world at all."

Black, who was sitting across from him, shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands. "Of course, don't worry. There are some discussions on the Internet, but most fans are on Tianyang's side. Horford's actions are too dangerous, and I believe the league will just pretend."

"But the negative impact of Tianyang's punch is still too great. The alliance doesn't say it. Political correctness is rampant now. In addition, some people failed to get him some time ago. There may be a new crisis this time, not to mention he just now Many people are jealous of signing a big contract with Ferrari." Jim frowned, showing worry.

"Actually, this may be a good thing for SkyOcean." Black smiled meaningfully, "They Chinese people pay attention not to show their sharpness, and the punishment of the alliance can help him reduce the attention."

Hearing this, Jim lowered his head and pondered, "Maybe, but I hope the punishment will not be too harsh, otherwise it will easily affect the team's record."

While Jim and Black were discussing, Bill Simmons, a famous Celtics fan/ESPN columnist, published an article "On How Tianyang Destroyed the Alliance" on Twitter, INS, and Facebook.

In this article, Bill Simmons defined Tianyang's boxing of Horford as a heinous crime, described the harm of Tianyang with extremely exaggerated language and "slippery slope fallacy", and requested the league to give the maximum ban.

The article was reposted by many neutral fans, and some Celtic fans even organized a petition on the White House website, demanding that Tianyang be expelled from the United States, as if Tianyang was a human cancer.

After the Lakers team dinner, I found these things when I checked Twitter again.

"Aren't these behaviors too stupid? Who would believe it?" Nick Young complained.

"It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not." Tianyang said with a smile, "They are trying to kidnap the alliance and give me the most severe punishment. This is called using public opinion!"

"Brother, do you want to respond, in case someone really believes it?" Hart asked.

"No, I believe the league will give a fair result."

...

On the morning of the 24th, the NBA official Twitter updated, announcing the punishment for Tianyang.

"The NBA has always been committed to building a peaceful competitive environment, and Tianyang's behavior is not allowed. According to the regulations, the league will ban Tianyang from participating in the next 7 games of the Lakers and impose a fine of 10 US dollars."

Once the news was announced, Lakers fans were outraged, and Celtics fans were overjoyed.

But the Celtics fans hadn't been happy for a few minutes, and the NBA's official Twitter was updated again.

"After research and decision by the referee union, the league will impose additional penalties on Baines and Horford for their irrational behavior in the Lakers-Celtics game. Give Baines a first-level malicious foul and give Horford One flagrant second-degree foul and a two-game suspension."

After getting this news, the Lakers fans felt a little comforted, and the Celtics fans expressed that it was unfair.

On the afternoon of the 24th, after the Lakers finished regular training, head coach Walton was interviewed by reporters.

"Tianyang has been suspended for 7 games, and Kuzma also needs to recover from his injury for two weeks. Are you worried about the decline in the Lakers' record?"

"Since I coached the Lakers, except for the rest of the day, it seems that I have never dealt with his absence. This is an opportunity for me, and this is also an opportunity for the team. Maybe we can develop more powerful tactics. Graham and Randle can also try to play a leadership role, and Kobe is also in good shape, so I am not worried about the team's record decline, but a little excited."
