Although they have won 4 consecutive victories, the Lakers are still a giant in the hearts of everyone. All the players and coaching staff came to the arena early today to prepare for the game .

In the afternoon, the Lakers also arrived at the Sleep Train Arena. Kobe Bryant got off the team bus wearing a white casual suit and sunglasses. After getting off the bus, a group of reporters rushed up. Kobe Bryant was surrounded by flashing lights. Walked into the arena, followed by Pau Gasol, Lamar Odom and others got off the bus and entered the arena.

After the initial field adaptation training, Lakers coach Phil Jackson attended the pre-match press conference with Kobe and Pau Gasol.

In the corridor, Tyreke, who had just finished the press conference, ran into Kobe head-on!The moment Tyreke saw Kobe, his head went blank for a moment, and he was much more excited than when he met Nash in the first preseason game before!That is Kobe Bryant, a true basketball idol, how many people fell in love with basketball because of Kobe!Before seeing Kobe, Tyreke was just looking forward to the confrontation with him. When he really saw Kobe, Tyreke instantly turned back to that innocent basketball fan!
Tyreke stood in the corridor staring at Kobe, unexpectedly Kobe approached him on his own initiative!

Kobe went to Tyreke and hugged Tyreke, and whispered in Tyreke's ear: "Tyreke! Brother, you have played very well recently! Looking forward to your performance tonight!" He patted Tyreke on the shoulder and approached the press conference hall, and Tyreke stood there the whole time because he was too excited. He didn't react until Kobe walked away, "Just now Kobe actually encouraged me?! My God! That's Kobe ah!"

The three generals of the Lakers sat down at the press conference, and the reporters in the audience rushed to ask them questions.

"Hello, Mr. Bryant, I'm a reporter from the Sacramento Bee. What's your opinion on today's players?"

"Well, the Kings played well at the beginning of the season, and 4 consecutive victories are enough to show their strength. Especially Tyreke Evans, who won the best rookie last season, is one step closer in these 4 games, The best of the week is the best compliment to him. At the same time, this year's rookie DeMarcus Cousins ​​also showed good strength. I think today is a challenge for Paul. After all, Andrew has not recovered from his right knee joint. Returning from surgery."

Just after Kobe finished speaking, Gasol took the initiative to take the microphone and said: "I seem to be in a hand-to-hand fight with DeMarcus today. After the game, I guess I have to go for a good massage!"

Gasol's words drew laughter from the reporters in the audience, and then another reporter asked, "Coach Jackson, I'm Mark Medina, a reporter from the Los Angeles Times. Now the Los Angeles Lakers and the Sacramento Kings are both 4 wins and 0 losses. What do you think about that? How confident are you in winning this game?"

The seasoned and steady Hall of Fame champion Coach Jackson, who has already held 11 championships, said lightly: "The Sacramento Kings' record last year was not satisfactory, but judging from these four games, it gives people a new look. But .I'm telling the truth, Kobe and the others can win this game."
