Chapter 25: win is justice
On this day at the Staples Center, the Lakers defeated the Heat from afar with 108:105.
Seeing the victorious smile on Kobe's face, Dwyane Wade felt both helpless and envious. Since the joining of Pau Gasol, the Lakers finally made up for the last shortcoming.
This season's Lakers have achieved a record of 30 wins and 6 losses. This season's Lakers seem to be announcing to the entire league: The Zijin Dynasty is about to return!
Wade is very envious of Kobe's ability to find a partner that suits him, and this season's Lakers also need to hit the championship.
But now it is extremely difficult for the Heat to even enter the playoffs!
Since winning the O'Brien Cup in the 2006 season, that indescribable feeling has been lingering in his mind. He still wants to stand on top of the world again and win the O'Brien Cup again!
But with the current lineup of the Heat, if it is not impossible, it is simply not relevant!
After the two embraced, they walked towards the player channel respectively.
…
After attending the press conference, Kobe and Phil Jackson returned to the locker room.
The locker room was very lively, everyone chatted with each other, and said that they would go to the bar to relax.
Winning is justice, not to mention the results this season are really good.
Although Master Zen didn't like the players' lingering in nightclubs at this time, he didn't ask too much. He just asked the players to pay attention so as not to affect the next day's training.
"Hey, Kobe, there's a kid in Troy, USC who is very similar to you in basketball skills. There's a game between them and him tomorrow. Do you want to go and see it?"
Lamar Odom saw Kobe coming, quickly moved to where Kobe was sitting, and said to Kobe with a mysterious face.
"When did you pay so much attention to the NCAA?" Kobe changed his clothes, turned his head and looked at Odom with dark circles under his eyes due to excessive sex, very puzzled.
Isn't this guy most interested in which nightclub's girl has a big butt? How did you start paying attention to the NCAA?
Odom's talent is very good. He is 2.08 meters tall and a power forward. , No. 4 flexible transformation.
But this guy just doesn't want to make progress, attracts fans, and is addicted to nightclubs and can't extricate himself.
Kobe loves and hates this guy. What he loves is his outstanding basketball talent, and what he hates is that he has top talent but doesn't want to make progress.
Kobe often thought that if his palms were bigger, his wingspan longer, his bounce higher, and his body stronger, he would definitely surpass that Chicago braised egg who was conferred a god.
Some people want to work hard but are limited by their talents, and some people have talents but squander them in nightclubs.
That's right, that profligate teenager is Odom.
If this guy told himself that a new nightclub opened there and invited him, Kobe could still believe it, but he invited himself to watch an NCAA game, which made Kobe puzzled.
Does this guy want the prodigal son to turn back?
"Isn't this kid's style of play very similar to yours? I'm also curious, so let's go and have a look together! By the way, can you give me a photo with your autograph? My friend from USC has been begging me for help." !" Odom was a little embarrassed when he said that, there was no way, who let the girl he just dated actually like this "snake".
Hearing what Odom said, Kobe immediately understood that this guy must have picked up a girl from USC, and the key is his fans.
He thought just now that this guy wanted the prodigal son to turn around and prepare for the finals.
Although he was ashamed of Odom picking up girls in his own name, he didn't say anything more. He is no longer a kid who just joined the league, and he will no longer let his emotions control him.
But Odom said that he was very like his kid, which made Kobe interested.
Speaking of Kobe’s successors in the league, there are many, but most of them don’t recognize Kobe. The only player who makes him feel more like himself is Brandon Roy. Compared with myself, it is really far away.
"Successor, I hope it's not an embroidered pillow!"
…
On January 11, the USC game was held at the Galen Center, the home of USC.
The 18,000-person Galen Center arena was full of spectators, most of whom were USC fans wearing red jerseys, but there were also a small number of spectators wearing blue jerseys.
The two schools belong to Southern California, and the distance is not very far.
But the two schools are feuds, and each wants to kill the other.
In terms of honors in some college sports leagues, it is better than that of USC, but in terms of Olympic medals, USC is the leader among American universities.
There is no way to compare these two honors with each other, which has caused the two universities to refuse to accept the other, especially after the "Victory Bell" incident, the situation of the two universities is like fire and water.
The confrontation also caused the confrontation between the fans of the two universities, especially since the beginning of this season, USC has achieved a record of complete victory.
This gave the USC fans the hope of being able to overwhelm them, so in the competition for game tickets, the USC fans were also unprecedentedly crazy.
But what I didn't expect was that the fans actually snatched a small number of game tickets from the USC fans.
But the rice grains were not enough to compete with the bright moon, so they were submerged in a sea of red.
The game was broadcast live on ESPN.
This game also sent Mike Breen and Jeff Van Gundy to commentate on the game.
The two of them discussed which team they liked better before the game started.
"Oh, I'm more optimistic about USC. Although many commentators think that the Trojans don't have the championship gene, but judging from this season, USC's lineup is more reasonable. And they have outside DeRozan and sickle are the two twin stars.” Van Gundy had watched the game video of USC before, and he admired the two outside twin stars, Lian Dao and DeRozan.
Mike Brin originally wanted to say that he supported USC, but he didn't expect his partner to give him a step ahead, so he could only support it instead.
"I think we can win more. Dasen and Zhu's two-guard cooperation is smoother, and they also have Josh. As a senior, Josh's game experience and scoring ability are not comparable to Sickle as a freshman. Yes." Mike Breen analyzed his strength.
"Also, Jeff, don't you feel that Sickle's speed is too slow? I don't think he is a good choice in the third position. I think he is more suitable for the fourth position." Mike Breen published own point of view.
"Oh, no, I don't fully agree with your point of view. Although Sickle's speed is a shortcoming, his defensive pace is not slow. The most important thing is that he can provide USC with strong fire support on the outside."
…
Jason, a Grizzlies scout wearing gold-rimmed glasses, also came to the scene. He came to inspect Lian Dao. Through the previous games, Jason felt more and more that Lian Dao was the player that the Grizzlies needed most. Lian Dao's speed is somewhat disadvantaged in the third position, but it is definitely edible in the fourth position.
The feasibility of a space-based power forward has been proven in the Mavericks, and Nowitzki is really fragrant in the league.
As for inside skills, as long as there is a strength advantage, Jason believes that inside skills can be cultivated the day after tomorrow.
At the same time, not far from him is the scout of the Raptors with a big bald head.
