[The two stars combined to score 59 points, the Lakers easily defeated the Cavaliers and refused to lose consecutive games.]
[The rumor of discord is shattered, the two stars work together tacitly, killing everyone.]
[James blasted the management and complained about the current lineup.]
In the NBA, winning is everything.
When the Lakers won, those voices of discord between Zhang and Ke disappeared, and the conflicts between James and the management surfaced.
The reason is very simple. If those people continue to advocate Zhang Ke's feud, Lakers fans can make the other side speechless by saying, "If our stars are at odds with each other, they will blow you away, then how rubbish you must be."
The ill-intentioned fans were temporarily dormant, waiting for the Lakers to kneel down next time.
As long as the Lakers lose, they can continue to do nothing.
Moreover, they also believe that Zhang Zhiyuan and Kobe Bryant cannot really love each other.
At the same time, a piece of news in the entertainment section became a hot search topic.
[Who is more beautiful, Taylor Swift or Scarlett Johansson?]
It is reported that the two superstars of the Lakers debated this issue, but neither one convinced the other. So, who is more beautiful between the two of them?
There is not much text, but photos of Taylor and Scarlett are plastered all over the page.
The success of this news is due to the joint efforts of Scarlett's team and Taylor's team. After all, this is a good hype topic.
Even the management of the Lakers also contributed. They hope that fans will quickly divert their attention and stop discussing the relationship between Kobe and Zhang Zhiyuan.
Otherwise, there will be cracks even if there are no cracks.
The remarks between Ke Mi and Zhang Mi revealed this sign, which is very bad.
With the promotion of the three parties and the fact that Taylor and Scarlett really attracted attention, the news quickly became a hot topic.
The regular season continues. On the 26th, the Lakers flew to Miami to challenge the Heat away from home.
After arriving in Miami, Zhang Zhiyuan was invited by O'Neal to visit O'Neal's home.
As for Kobe, O'Neal didn't even mention it.
Obviously, the two of them have real conflicts.
Arriving at O'Neal's house, O'Neal provoked: "You shouldn't have come. Believe it or not, Kobe will definitely hold a grudge for your visit."
"Didn't you ask me to come?"
Zhang Zhiyuan complained.
O'Neal then laughed and asked about the conflict between Zhang Zhiyuan and Kobe.
"It's nothing. I guess this guy wanted to compete for the scoring title, so he took more shots. I didn't indulge him."
Zhang Zhiyuan said.
"What about the last game? I watched your last game. It was obviously you who showed your kindness to him first. Why did you do this? You could obviously leave the Lakers?"
O'Neal is still very worried about Zhang Zhiyuan's choice.
"Where can I go after leaving the Lakers? There are not many teams that can compete with the Celtics. I can't beat three of them with my current strength."
Zhang Zhiyuan said truthfully, but to O'Neal, his words sounded like pretentiousness.
He said this as if he would be able to beat three superstars in the future, which is so shameless.
"Stop talking about me, what about you, where are you going?"
Zhang Zhiyuan asked.
He knows that O'Neal is not happy with the Heat now.
Now, not only is the Heat's record extremely poor, but Pat Riley also dislikes O'Neal's high salary and incompetence.
In order to disgust O'Neal, Pat Riley even signed a mascot, Anfernee Hardaway, the man who once squeezed O'Neal away from the Magic.
Hardaway only played a total of 4 games in the 2005-06 and 2006-07 seasons, averaging 2.5 points per game.
In short, O'Neal is not happy in the team now.
"have no idea."
O'Neill sighed.
He is no longer the big shark he used to be, and with that terrifying annual salary, it is no longer possible for any team to rob him.
"It's okay. You've almost got enough honors anyway. Now you just need to enjoy the game."
Zhang Zhiyuan said.
"Originally, I got enough, but if you, bastard, help Kobe win the championship, his championship ring will catch up with mine, or even surpass mine."
O'Neal complained.
Kobe is someone he can't get around for the rest of his life. Everyone will compare the two of them, and O'Neal doesn't want to be at a disadvantage in any aspect.
This is also the original reason why O'Neal did not retire when his contract expired and insisted on going to the Celtics, because at that time Kobe had already won five championships, but he only had four championships.
At that time, it was easy for Kobe to make O'Neal angry. He just raised his palm and stretched out five fingers.
Zhang Zhiyuan laughed when he heard this, and then revealed some of his plans to O'Neal: "Don't worry, I won't stay with the Lakers for long, at most one season. By then we can go to the same team and take you to get a few more
Being a champion is no big deal."
"Although you mean well, why do you sound so unworthy of a beating? Does the great Shacklebolt need someone else to take care of him?"
O'Neal complained.
After chatting for a while, Zhang Zhiyuan wrote a saliva song for O'Neal, and O'Neal was preparing to release an album.
Zhang Zhiyuan listened to his album once, and then didn't listen to it a second time.
In the evening, the game starts.
After the players entered the stadium, Kobe looked at the Heat's lineup and sneered in his heart.
This is a kind of revenge pleasure that turns the tide.
In the 2004-05 season, he led a group of losers fishing, while O'Neal led a group of reliable helpers to challenge for the championship. In 2006, he even successfully won the championship.
At that time, Kobe felt extremely uncomfortable.
Now, it's finally his turn to compete for the championship, and O'Neal is going fishing.
At this time, the Heat's starting lineup is Jason Williams, Wade, Ricky Davis, Haslem, and O'Neal.
Except for Wade, who is in his prime, the others are no longer powerful characters.
As for the substitute, it's even worse.
Antoine and James Posey left the team, Gary Payton retired, and Mourning entered retirement mode.
Among the Heat's substitutes, only Smushparker is of some use, and the rest are garbage.
Hardaway, Quinn, Alexander Johnson, Dorrell...
The Heat's lineup currently has a record of 2 wins and 10 losses, tied with the SuperSonics for last place in the league.
At the beginning of the game, Zhang Zhiyuan did not show mercy just because his opponent was weak. He still used the attribute chain to get Wade.
The two teams jumped the ball, and the little shark beat the big shark.
The Lakers attack first.
The ball came into Zhang Zhiyuan's hands and he was asked to hit the Heat's weakness.
At this time, Ricky Davis's defensive ability had deteriorated very seriously, and Zhang Zhiyuan beat him very easily.
A sudden start and Ricky Davis couldn't keep up.
At other times, Wade could help with defense.
But now, Wade needs to keep an eye on Kobe and really doesn't dare to get away.
Haslem made a cover, Zhang Zhiyuan passed the ball, and Odom made a shot.
During the transition between offense and defense, Wade burst forward with the ball. Kobe followed closely and did not give Wade a chance.
Although the Heat are very weak, Kobe has no intention of letting off steam in this game. Not only does he want to win, but he also wants to win by a big margin and make O'Neal very angry.
Wade's breakthrough was fruitless, and then he forced a jumper.
He didn't pass the ball, and after all, other people's chances weren't very good either.
When the Lakers were attacking, Kobe seemed to want to embarrass O'Neal and deliberately passed the ball to Bynum, allowing Bynum to go for a single.
Once the ball is in his hands, Bynum can't organize it and can only force it.
He jumped up in front of O'Neal and took the shot.
O'Neal jumped up and gave Bynum a big hat.
Although O'Neal is old, it's still perfectly fine to dance like this occasionally, but it won't last long.
"You're still a little young."
O'Neill mocked.
Williams picked up the basketball, Wade went for a fast break, but Kobe failed to catch up, and the Heat scored two points.
2 to 2.
When the Lakers attacked, Kobe didn't bother with O'Neal anymore and chose to do it himself.
He used his height to hit Wade with his back, and after getting a little space, he jumped up and shot, but Wade didn't cover it.
The ball goes in.
4 to 2.
The Heat attacked, the Lakers quickly retreated, and the Heat fell into a positional battle again.
Wade ran without the ball, and Williams patted the basketball organization.
After observing for a while, Williams passed the ball to O'Neal. O'Neal relied on his flexible footsteps to get rid of Bynum and scored a layup.
The game has just begun, O'Neal is full of energy and is playing well.
During the transition between offense and defense, Zhang Zhiyuan missed a jump shot.
Ricky Davis didn't defend well, but Zhang Zhiyuan didn't seize the opportunity either.
Zhang Zhiyuan had no emotions in his heart, this kind of thing was so normal.
The Heat attacked, and Williams shot the ball.
The Lakers attacked and Zhang Zhiyuan struck again.
Only then did Zhang Zhiyuan realize that his hand might not be feeling very good today.
The Heat had a chance to overtake, but Wade also failed to seize the opportunity. When he broke through, he got into the crowd, made a mistake in passing the ball, and Fisher stole the ball.
The Lakers counterattacked, Zhang Zhiyuan did not make another jump shot, but went to the basket and dunked.
6 to 4.
Wade broke through and drew a foul and made two free throws.
Kobe went to the basket and fouled Haslem, and also made two free throws.
The two sides went back and forth, and the fight turned out to be evenly matched.
However, in the 7th minute, Pat Riley replaced O'Neal to rest.
If he is not allowed to rest, he may die.
He was replaced by Mark Blount, a blue-collar center with acceptable defense but no offensive ability.
Without O'Neal, the Heat are even less of a threat on the offensive end.
The Lakers focused on guarding Wade, while the rest of the Heat continued to attack.
Soon, the point difference widened.
At the end of the first quarter, the score was 27 to 21, with the Lakers leading by 6 points.
In the second quarter, Kobe led the team.
On the Heat's side are Smushparker, Quinn, Hardaway, Dorrell, and Mourning.
This lineup simply brings warmth to Kobe.
Smushparker played very actively. He also had conflicts with Kobe and didn't want to see Kobe's prestige.
It's a pity that his heart is as high as the sky and his life is as thin as paper.
He rushed to double-team, but Kobe scored one-two, which was Kobe's wonderful goal.
"snort."
Kobe snorted disdainfully.
"You are a s**t. Without Zhang Zhiyuan, you are nothing."
Smarsh didn't tolerate Kobe at all and started to criticize him directly.
He had dared to criticize Kobe in front of the media before, saying that Kobe treated his teammates like shit, that Kobe was overrated, and that he deliberately did not pass the ball to Kobe.
Now that he is no longer on the same team, he is even more unscrupulous.
Kobe withdrew from the defense with anger, and took the initiative to switch defenses with Farmar and defend Smarsh personally: "Come on, prove to me, prove that you can play in the NBA."
Naturally, Smush wouldn't be timid and would just do it alone.
Unfortunately, his abilities are really limited.
I couldn't squeeze and squeeze, I couldn't push through, and finally I had to force myself to take action.
Fortunately, at least he was not covered up and saved a little bit of face.
The ball missed, and Kobe smiled disdainfully.
He lost the direct confrontation, but Smush refused to admit defeat.
"You are so ridiculous, you will never win the MVP, the judges will not vote for you, the Lakers' record is Zhang's credit."
Smushpark Jetway.
Kobe more or less knew who Smush was, and he didn't bother to talk nonsense. He just stared at Smush and played.
This intention was too obvious. Quinn helped in the attack, but Kobe was unwilling to give in and pass the ball, and was intercepted by Quinn.
Smush laughed, as happy as if he had won.
Jackson shook his head secretly in the audience.
Although Zhang Zhiyuan often presses his opponents, in this kind of pressuring, Zhang Zhiyuan basically takes advantage.
On the other hand, Kobe's efficiency was affected by his bickering with a minor character.
Originally, this period of time was the Lakers' best opportunity to quickly widen the point difference, but now it has been wasted by Kobe.
The Heat's garbage substitutes lasted for a while, Wade came back on the court, Ricky Davis came back on the court, and O'Neal came back on the court.
The Heat's situation immediately improved a lot, and they played back and forth with the Lakers.
Helpless, Jackson could only replace Zhang Zhiyuan in advance.
The two teams continue to compete between the main players.
Zhang Zhiyuan broke through with the ball, went inside to cause damage, and made two free throws.
In the next round, Zhang Zhiyuan broke through and scored, assisting Fisher to hit the ball.
Jackson nodded repeatedly as he watched from the audience. He fell in love with Zhang Zhiyuan more and more because Zhang Zhiyuan played so smartly.
After discovering that the hand felt bad, he immediately changed his playing style, increased his breakthroughs, focused on series connection, and reduced his shots.
This kind of adjustment ability is way ahead of Kobe.
If it were Kobe, he would definitely continue to shoot until his hand feels restored.
An idea began to pop up in Jackson's mind, and he was thinking about the possibility of trading Kobe.
If Kobe is traded away and a stronger center is brought back, the Lakers can even win three consecutive championships again.
Jackson just thought about it casually. He also knew that the possibility of trading Kobe was too small and the boss would definitely not agree.
Jackson continued to watch the game, really watching. He didn't need to direct too much or arrange too much. Zhang Zhiyuan and the others could handle their opponents by themselves.
Relying on Kobe Bryant's strong attack and Zhang Zhiyuan's connection, the Lakers scored steadily.
As for the Heat, they can't defend and can't attack, and they can't attack.
Especially after playing for a few minutes, O'Neal began to pant again and even showed signs of laziness.
Wade was very tired.
At the end of the first half, the score was 60 to 44, and the Heat were already 16 points behind.
With their current scoring ability, it would be extremely difficult to chase these 16 points.
"The game was spent again. Please note that I used the word "you"."
Barkley complained.
Smith laughed and said, "Don't be like this, Charles. Theoretically, the Heat still have a chance."
