The Lakers played against the Trail Blazers and lost again.
The reason is that Kobe and Zhang Zhiyuan were fighting randomly, scrambling for shots, and brushing up data.
Zhang Zhiyuan's 70 points against the Kings stimulated Kobe. After playing against the Kings, Zhang Zhiyuan's points per game had reached 29.9, while Kobe only only had 30.8 points.
As Zhang Zhiyuan's scoring average approaches, Kobe's mvp is already very dangerous.
In terms of efficiency, he can't compare with Zhang Zhiyuan.
That's why Kobe took the initiative and desperately grabbed the ball to gain points.
The result is a loss.
What made Kobe vomiting blood even more depressing was that even though he paid the price of losing, he could not widen the point difference.
He scored 41 points in this game, and Zhang Zhiyuan also scored 39 points.
If this continues, his MVP will still be unstable.
In the previous loss to the Hornets, Jackson could still use the players' poor feel as an excuse.
After losing to a mediocre team like the Trail Blazers, the Lakers' conflicts could no longer be concealed.
At the press conference, Kobe was still evading, saying that he was playing hard and didn't know why he lost.
Zhang Zhiyuan was much more direct, saying directly that the loss was because the team was in a mess and did not play according to the coach's arrangements.
After the game, the media criticized Zhang Zhiyuan and Kobe Bryant, saying that they had no spirit of cooperation and were two thorns in the side...
In the past, the fans were tired of watching the two stars in Kualo City. Now there is a reason, and the media will naturally not miss this good opportunity and criticize it.
Seeing such reports, Kobe was very angry, but Zhang Zhiyuan didn't care, since he was thick-skinned anyway.
If you want to stab your head, just stab your head. Anyway, even if you are a thorn in the head, there are still teams competing for you, so don't worry.
On the 7th, the Lakers played against the Bulls.
This was originally a very easy game and one that I should have won.
However, the Lakers still lost.
Kobe deliberately took fewer shots during the game, as if he wanted to send a signal to give in.
It's a pity that Zhang Zhiyuan pretended to be stupid, as if he didn't understand, took over the ball rights, smashed the statistics, and scored 53 points, which almost made Kobe angry and died on the spot.
However, at this moment, he finally understood that this bastard Zhang Zhiyuan really didn't care about winning or losing the game, nor about winning streaks, season winning records, championships and other honors.
When he met a lunatic who didn't play by common sense, Kobe thought he had been unlucky for eight lifetimes.
Losing to the Bulls, the Lakers suffered three consecutive losses, and the team's record became 55 wins and 7 losses.
They were only two chances away from their goal of 73 wins and 9 losses.
Not to mention that the Lakers are currently full of internal conflicts. Even if there are no conflicts, it is not easy to win 18 games in 20 games.
Seeing the Lakers like this, the other teams were naturally overjoyed, overjoyed, overjoyed, and smiling...
On the 8th, Old Buss called Zhang Zhiyuan, Kobe Bryant and Jackson to a party.
If we don't deal with this contradiction, the Lakers will become a joke of the league.
However, old Bass also had a headache about how to deal with this contradiction.
As Jackson said, Kobe is an uncoachable and unreasonable person. And Zhang Zhiyuan is obviously even more unreasonable.
Both are privileged people who need to be coaxed, giant babies.
"You just plan to keep going like this and not win the championship?"
Old Bass complained.
If such a supreme honor were given up because of anger, then Kobe and Zhang Zhiyuan would really be hopeless.
"I'm still young and there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."
Zhang Zhiyuan said with a smile.
Old Bass disliked this playful and smiling look very much, and even found it a bit annoying.
But there was nothing he could do against Zhang Zhiyuan.
"Kobe, are you still young?"
Old Bass reminded.
Kobe has been playing in the league for nearly 12 years and is an out-and-out veteran. His body is abnormal and he takes good care of himself.
If it were any other ordinary player, he would have retired long ago in 2012.
Even many star players have begun to decline after playing for 12 years.
Like Iverson, McGrady, Carter...
Old Buss hopes Kobe can understand that he doesn't have much time left to prove himself.
"I already made concessions in the last game, but this bastard is still fighting."
Kobe gritted his teeth and said.
If possible, he really wanted to have a fight with Zhang Zhiyuan and vent his anger.
He has always had others compromise with him, so there is no reason for him to compromise with others.
What's even more outrageous is that Zhang Zhiyuan still doesn't accept it after he has already compromised. It's unreasonable.
"We had an agreement before coming to the Lakers, but you repeatedly violated the agreement."
Zhang Zhiyuan reminded.
Before coming to the Lakers, Zhang Zhiyuan promised that he could help the team win, and he did it. Kobe also promised to pass five passes to him every game.
A ball, Kobe didn't make it.
"These things have passed. I just hope that you can put aside your differences and play well in the following games. The championship is very important to you. The historical status depends on the number of championships."
Old Bass reminded.
"As long as this guy doesn't fight randomly, I can fight according to tactics."
Kobe gritted his teeth and said.
The championship has always been a pain point for him. He needs this championship to catch up with O'Neal, and he also needs an FMVP to prove himself.
"I need a commitment. The next game must average more than 23 shots."
Zhang Zhiyuan made a request.
Originally, he had no intention of competing with Kobe for the MVP this season, but Kobe broke the agreement twice, which made him very unhappy. Therefore, he decided to teach Kobe a lesson and deliberately competed for the MVP to make Kobe uncomfortable.
If Kobe Bryant turns his back and doesn't want to win the championship, Zhang Zhiyuan doesn't care, it's just that the system upgrade speed will be slower.
"Zhang, don't go too far."
Old Bass said angrily.
Kobe has already given in, but Zhang Zhiyuan is still arrogant. How can he not be angry about this?
Because Zhang Zhiyuan will definitely leave next season, Old Buss still prefers Kobe, who is his own man.
"That's it, 23 times is acceptable."
Jackson spoke.
Zhang Zhiyuan's shots were almost 22 before, so one more shot doesn't matter.
In this range of times, Jackson is confident that the team can win.
...
On the 10th, the Lakers played against the Clippers.
All major TV stations are discussing the internal conflicts of the Lakers.
"Obviously, the problem all lies with Zhang Zhiyuan. He has never been an easy person to get along with. He had conflicts with Tracy McGrady when he was with the Rockets, and now he has conflicts with Kobe."
ESPN’s commentary commented.
"Without Yao Ming and without Kobe, can he still perform well? I'm already looking forward to next season. Next season we will see his ability to lead the team alone. Maybe he won't even make the playoffs."
Another guest echoed.
Zhang Zhiyuan declared that he would go to a bad team next season, so he dared to say this.
Taking a bad team to the playoffs is not an easy task.
tnt, as die-hard Zhang Chui, they naturally sided with Zhang Zhiyuan.
Smith complained: "It is undeniable that Kobe is very capable, but his emotional intelligence is really hard to describe. When there are good helpers, he is always squeezing them away. When there are no good helpers, he forces the team to trade for helpers."
"As far as I know, Zhang Zhiyuan had an agreement to go to the Lakers, but now Kobe Bryant has not fulfilled his promise."
Buckley said.
ABC's position is neutral.
The commentator commented: "The Lakers' goal this season is 73 wins, which is impossible based on the current trend. If they cannot resolve their internal conflicts as soon as possible, they will not be able to match the Celtics in the finals."
The guest echoed: "It would be outrageous if the two cores were in conflict and still won the championship."
...
The game begins.
The starting lineup for the Lakers is Fisher, Kobe, Zhang Zhiyuan, Hayes, and Bynum.
Odom was put on the bench by Jackson. After all, when Kobe and Zhang Zhiyuan were on the court at the same time, Odom had almost no right to take action. It would be a waste to put him on the court.
On the Clippers' side are Dandy Kao, Quinton Rose, McGrady, Maggette, and Kaman.
This lineup is appalling.
Danticao is a white player who has poor physical contact and poor shooting. He is able to be a starter because there is no one in the team.
Quinton Rose is also rubbish. He can only be a starter on a rubbish team like the Clippers.
After McGrady was transferred to the Clippers, he had more possessions of the ball, but his statistics did not increase much.
The reason is also very simple. Without a good teammate, the opponent only needs to guard against him.
In this case, where does Tracy McGrady have any chance to perform?
The more he invests, the more he strikes, the more he looks like a cancer, and the media continues to criticize him.
After coming to the Clippers, McGrady has been very depressed.
But today he was a little excited because he knew that Zhang Zhiyuan and Kobe Bryant were having a conflict.
So, I hope to win today.
Defeating Zhang Zhiyuan, this must be a beautiful thing, he couldn't help but look forward to this scene.
Maggette is a small forward, but Elton Brand is injured and has no one on the team, so he can only take up this position.
Kaman is just a qualified starter. He can only do his job well and is powerless to do anything about it.
Before this game, the Clippers' record was 16 wins and 46 losses, which was bad.
The two teams jumped the ball, and Bynum gave the ball to his own side.
The Lakers attack first.
Seeing Zhang Zhiyuan holding the ball, McGrady's heart skipped a beat.
Although the Lakers are currently in conflict, Zhang Zhiyuan's strength has not been affected by this. Defending Zhang Zhiyuan is still a very difficult task.
McGrady had no choice but to bite the bullet.
Maggette was also very sensible, knowing that Tracy McGrady was under great pressure to defend Zhang Zhiyuan alone, so he ran to help defend.
Anyway, neither Zhang Zhiyuan nor Kobe Bryant passed the ball to his teammates in these three games, so he can safely leave Hayes open.
It's a pity that he wasn't well-informed enough and didn't know that the Los Angeles Twin Stars had compromised.
Zhang Zhiyuan saw that his opponent was double-teaming him from the beginning, so he decisively linked the second attribute chain to Hayes.
Hayes's friendship level with him is now as high as 620, and he is an absolute loyalist.
This also allowed Hayes to receive an 11% attribute bonus from Zhang Zhiyuan. This bonus not only includes physical fitness, but also basketball skills.
Zhang Zhiyuan passed the ball and Hayes caught the ball and shot.
The ball goes in.
"Hey, he passed the ball."
Buckley laughed.
"Maybe their conflicts have been resolved."
Smith guessed.
The Clippers were attacking, and McGrady was feeling very nervous.
He didn't know whether Zhang Zhiyuan's pass just now was an accident or a tactic. If it was a tactic, then they would be in trouble.
After halftime, McGrady wanted to try to challenge Zhang Zhiyuan.
It's a pity that now he has no advantage against Zhang Zhiyuan.
He tried to make a sudden move, but Zhang Zhiyuan did not lose his position, so McGrady could only pull out his hand.
He didn't pass the ball. After all, his teammates were worse. It would be difficult for his teammates to score after passing the ball. He might as well try his hand first.
The ball didn't go in, and McGrady was helpless.
In the transition between offense and defense, Zhang Zhiyuan still holds the ball.
Kobe could only grit his teeth and endure it.
Fortunately, Zhang Zhiyuan still did not take action this time, but continued to pass to Hayes.
Hayes was so courageous. He dared to take action even though there were defenders in front of him.
I don’t know if it was God’s blessing that the ball actually went in.
After five rounds, Hayes made three shots and scored six points on all three shots.
"Hey, what's going on? When did Hayes, who averaged 4.2 points per game, become the Lakers' main attacker? Could it be that the Lakers saw the quarrel between Zhang Zhiyuan and Kobe and were preparing to support a new core?"
Buckley joked.
"The Lakers took their opponents by surprise, but having said that, Hayes' shooting was quite accurate."
Smith echoed.
The next round, the Lakers attack.
This time it was Kobe who was holding the ball, and he would not let Zhang Zhiyuan hold the ball all the time.
Although Zhang Zhiyuan didn't score just now, he got several assists. This is also a statistic.
Kobe was blocked while holding the ball, so he also passed the ball to Hayes.
Hayes took a shot from mid-range and missed the ball.
this.......
This is actually just a coincidence, but Kobe seriously doubted that Hayes was playing himself, otherwise he would not be able to explain why Zhang Zhiyuan's pass was successful, but his own pass was not.
Thinking of the relationship between Hayes and Zhang Zhiyuan, Kobe became more and more sure of his guess.
Ever since, Kobe chose to pass to Bynum in the next round.
It's a pity that Kaman is very good and Bynum is not his opponent yet.
Bynum's jumper was blocked.
Kobe was speechless again. He could no longer doubt Bynum. If Bynum couldn't believe it, then no one on the team could believe it anymore.
"Kobe Bryant's passing is much worse than Zhang Zhiyuan's. This is not the job he should do. Why not be his scorer instead of organizing?"
Zhang Lili complained.
"Maybe he wants to be as comprehensive as James."
Sun Zhengping said.
"But he also needs to have this ability. Obviously he doesn't."
Zhang Lili continued to belittle Kobe.
There is no way, who made Kobe Bryant and Zhang Zhiyuan at odds now? They must be on Zhang Zhiyuan's side, otherwise the fans will not agree.
As soon as Zhang Lili said these words, the fans in front of the TV complained about Kobe Bryant.
In this environment, a small number of Komi dare not say anything, otherwise they will be easily besieged.
On the court, the Clippers are counterattacking.
It's a pity that McGrady failed to seize the opportunity and strike again.
The Lakers counterattacked and scored.
10 to 4, the Lakers led by 6 points.
Even if they still have internal conflicts, it is not something that a small broken ship can contend with.
Seeing the pain on McGrady's face, Kobe felt a little better.
He found that the grievances he suffered seemed nothing compared to McGrady. Due to various problems, the address was changed to please save the new address to avoid getting lost.
