Kobe was a person who couldn't stand "laziness, laziness, and inaction." The failure of this game made him realize the shame. The whole team was mentally destroyed by a group of seniors from the Dallas Mavericks.

If Fan Xi and him hadn't been fighting stubbornly, the game would have ended within three quarters.

Is this the level the Lakers should be at?

Is this the level of a team that wants to achieve three consecutive championships?

Therefore, Kobe angrily called Lamar Odom and Andrew Bynum to practice after the game. He hoped to use this method to boost the spirits of his two teammates so that they would not be alive like walking zombies.

Odom and Kobe Bryant have known each other for many years. Odom knew Kobe very well, so he quickly entered a state of extra practice. He was conscientious and he also realized his poor performance in this game.

However, Andrew Bynum is different. His spirit has not changed yet, and he is still giving up on himself.

He felt that Fan Xi had taken away his position, and his painstaking "framing" not only failed to ruin Fan Xi's reputation, but made him more famous.

He surrendered.

He accepted his fate.

He accepted Fanci as the future successor of the team.

He knew he couldn't change anything, so he simply lay down.

This is a cowardly mentality.

Weak people will always follow this path.

When Kobe Bryant saw Andrew Bynum come to the court for extra practice, he was still like this. He was so angry that he threw the basketball directly onto Bynum's back and yelled at him: "This is your sport."

Spiritual?"

Theoretically, Kobe is not qualified to do this to Bynum.

Because Bynum, like him, is just a Lakers player, and they only have a working relationship. Kobe does not pay Bynum a salary, and Bynum does not need to follow Kobe's orders.

However, basketball is not an ordinary working relationship after all. They must fight as a whole, and in the battle there will inevitably be a leader who gives orders.

That's what Kobe has always been.

Bynum had also lived under Kobe's leadership before. Although he was unwilling in his heart, he would still follow it silently based on the gap in 'strength and experience'.

But now, he doesn't do that anymore.

He broke the jar and dropped it.

He yelled at Kobe Bryant: "If your sportsmanship is so good, why can't you win? Why do you blame me for doing a job I don't like to do..."

The two of them got into a fight.

The Lakers staff nearby was horrified.

Infighting in the playoffs is a disaster for any team.

Kobe Bryant didn't expect Bynum to refute him so boldly. He was stunned for a while, then stepped forward. He pointed at the center he had watched since childhood. His eyes were filled with: Have your wings grown stiff?

.

But Bynum didn't back down, he pushed forward, he wanted to confront Kobe... He was determined.

Seeing that neither of them had any room to turn.

Fan Xi rushed forward and quickly blocked Bynum.

Then, pull the little shark directly to the side.

He used all his strength, and the strength gift from Ben Wallace allowed him to pull Bynum to the sidelines.

Likewise, Lamar Odom quickly pulled Kobe Bryant to the other side.

No one wants to make this matter a big deal. After all, this is an arena in Dallas. If there is any slight disturbance, the news will make a big fuss tomorrow.

At that time, the morale of the Lakers, who were already lagging behind, was instantly weakened, and this round of playoffs was defeated without a fight.

"Andrew, I know what you are thinking."

Fan Xi pulled Bynum aside and said to Bynum, who was still scratching his head: "You just think that I have robbed you of your glory. What I have now should originally belong to you."

Fanci spoke to Bynum's mind.

Bynum lowered his head and looked at Fan Xi with hostility.

Fan Xi looked directly at him and continued in a very affirmative tone: "But you chose the wrong path. If you want to kill me and get back what belongs to you, you should cooperate with me instead of forming your own faction."

"You are the center and you need my pass."

"I can make it easier for you to play in isolation, and I can make your statistics better. I can make you the number one center in the league, I can make you the most popular hunk in Los Angeles nightclubs, and I can even make you walk Grammy red carpet."

"However, you have always shut me out. You mistakenly regarded me as your opponent. You only have crude and stupid 'zero-sum thinking' in your head."

"My poor little Shark, basketball is like the stock market, understand? If I go up, you will go up, and then the Lakers will soar rapidly. When the Lakers soar rapidly, you feel that you are still far away from what you want. Will it be far?"

"You are the best center for the Lakers who have won three consecutive championships. You averaged 2,010 per game in the finals. You will get the highest salary in the league. You will lift the championship trophy. You will even have the opportunity to touch the finals MVP..."

Fan Xi spoke to Bynum very seriously.

There were obvious changes in Bynum's eyes.

He went from paranoid to soft, from passive to 'restless'.

Fan Xi described a very beautiful scene to him.

His reason told him that what Fan Xi said was correct.

His sensibility told him that the cake Fan Xi drew could be eaten.

If he really becomes the league's super center and wins the Finals MVP, what Fan Xi has now, he will indeed have in an instant.

After he was silent for a few seconds, he looked at Fan Xi: "Can I believe you?"

Fan Xi stretched out his hand, but did not reach Bynum's head. He said: Lower your head.

Bynum obediently lowered his head.

Fan Xi patted his green afro and said to him: "You don't even want to call me, Brother Jack."

"Brother Jack."

Bynum said subconsciously.

Then a sense of 'shame' emerged in his mind involuntarily: Why is this happening? Why is this happening? I obviously hate him the most, why would I surrender to him now? Is it because I was confused? No, I'm just weighing things up. , when I get the MVP, I will definitely pat his head and ask him to call me Brother Shark.

"Okay, go and say sorry to Kobe. Then, let's practice the pick-and-roll."

Fanci said to Bynum.

Bynum's eyes were evasive and he was very resistant.

But Fan Xi's eyes were very firm.

So, Bynum half-assed, he walked over.

Kobe thought he was coming to continue the argument, but Bynum lowered his head and said, "Sorry, Kobe, I was too loud just now."

With that said, he walked to the other side.

Kobe was surprised.

Although, Bynum often apologized to him in the past.

But since Bynum signed a high-paying contract, his arrogance has become more and more apparent, and he feels that he can compete with Kobe Bryant.

However, now, after Fan Xi said a few words to him, he was actually willing to come over and say 'apologise'. Although he didn't seem to be sincere, there was a gesture that proved that he bowed his head.

Kobe looked at Fan Xi strangely: "How did you get him?"

Fan Xi shrugged and said, "United front."

Kobe didn't understand.

He doesn't understand such profound knowledge.

Fanci has already gone over to train with Bynum.

Bynum is indeed blessed with his size. He has the hardware foundation of a super center, and his skills have been polished by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and others for years. Although he has not reached the peak, he is enough in the current situation where centers are scarce in the league.

.

The quality of cover he provided for Fanshie was very high.

Fanxi also asked him clearly about several of his advantageous scoring points, including where he was used to launching attacks, and how he needed Fanxi to help him clear the flanks.

The communication between the two is smooth.

Even Bynum has never experienced it.

The more Bynum played, the happier he became, and the more he played, the more he felt that cooperating with Fan Xi was a smart choice.

Although, this requires his cooperation as a 'little brother'.

However, Bynum felt...it didn't seem to matter much. Didn't he serve as Kobe's little brother before? In the past, Kobe was not as easy to discuss as Fanshie, and Kobe didn't pass the ball to him.

After Bynum figured out this link, he suddenly became enlightened, and he actually accepted the fact that Fan Xi was slightly taller than half his body.

Jeanie Buss, Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and others in Los Angeles are still preparing to put pressure on the team, asking the coaching staff to change their tune, and take advantage of the failure to promptly establish a Bynum-first style of play.
