Chapter 292 The First Battle of the Western Finals (3)
Kobe wanted treatment, but Deng Fang did not refuse.
Of course, Deng Fang had no choice but to refuse.
The Lakers are the Warriors' opponents, and Kobe is the absolute main force for the Lakers.
So Deng Fang had to treat Kobe.
But Deng Fang would not say it.
How could you miss such a good money-making opportunity so easily!
Deng Fang asked the system and found that Kobe's injury was within the range that needed treatment.
In fact, as long as you are a professional player who fights all year round, no one will be without any injuries!
Back pain, swollen knees, pricked fingers, sprained feet, or even a common cold. How could a team of more than a dozen players not have any injuries?
As long as it doesn't have much impact on the game, and as long as he is not a main player, there is no problem in not treating the patient.
However, Kobe's injury is still a bit serious. If he is not treated, Kobe's performance will be affected to a certain extent.
Especially shooting percentage.
After comprehensive consideration, the system still believes that Kobe needs to be treated.
Curing a disease consumes energy points.
Kobe needs surgery to fully recover from this injury, and he will need to rest for a month after the surgery.
Such an injury would cost Deng Fang 10 ability points in the regular season. Now it's the Western Conference Finals, and it would cost eight times that amount.
Deng Fang now has 95 ability points. If he hadn't beaten the Jazz in the last game, he wouldn't be able to treat Kobe Bryant now.
Kobe wanted to treat his illness, Deng Fang agreed, and the Lakers had no objection.
As for the price, Deng Fang didn't ask for much, but he wasn't polite either.
Kobe's annual salary this season is 23.03 million, and Deng Fang's offer is 12 million.
This price is really not low.
If it hadn't been for the Western Conference Finals, if the Lakers weren't wealthy and Kobe wasn't short of money, an injury of this magnitude would probably have been incurable.
If you don’t find Deng Fang, you will just have to wait for more than one month!
That’s more than 10 million!
It’s not a small amount to anyone!
The Lakers and Kobe have already negotiated. The Lakers will pay the majority, 10 million, and Kobe will pay 2 million. Just think.
This ratio is more appropriate.
Being able to surpass the Warriors and win the championship will definitely benefit the Lakers more.
Of course, the more important thing is that the Lakers are rich, much richer than the small Cleveland Cavaliers.
It doesn't seem to make sense that Kobe doesn't say anything at all.
After all, I was treating him.
Once the money problem is solved, the rest is easy to talk about.
Deng Fang first asked Kobe to find a surgeon in San Francisco to perform surgery.
Kobe's injury is not a major surgery at all, and any doctor who is not too bad can do it.
What's more, Kobe is not short of money, and the medical level in San Francisco is also very high.
Kobe performed the surgery in half a day.
This was an excuse for Deng Fang to treat his illness.
I don't cure diseases, I just speed up recovery!
After finishing it, Deng Fang found a secluded conference room to use Qigong to cure Kobe's illness.
The process is very boring. Take out the black pills, crush them, smear them on your hands, use them, apply them with ice, use them again, apply them with heat...
Deng Fang has performed this process many times and has become very proficient.
It took more than ten minutes for Deng Fang to finish his exercise.
Tell Kobe to go back and rest for a day. He can't exercise on this day, but he will be fine the next day.
Like James, Kobe left doubtful.
Deng Fang was very satisfied and got 12 million!
The speed of making money is quite fast.
…
At 8 p.m. on May 17, the game between the Lakers and Warriors started on time at Oracle Arena.
This is the first game of the Western Conference Finals.
Both teams are well prepared.
The Warriors have already finished the semifinals. After watching videos, analyzing tactics, studying countermeasures, and practicing repeatedly in training, the whole team is full of confidence.
Although the Lakers played one more game in the semifinals, they are the defending champions, and they have had a long enough time to get along, and they understand each other very well.
Coupled with the fact that Kobe Bryant is fully resurrected, the Lakers team is also full of confidence.
Deng Fang dared to treat Kobe Bryant!
How young and frivolous!
Only money in eyes!
Even the Suns couldn't guard Kobe Bryant, who was fighting through injuries. How could he stop the Warriors, who were resurrected with full health?
Do you think Kobe is Okur?
Okur is only the third person in the Jazz team, while Kobe is the boss of the Lakers!
It’s not an exaggeration to say that Kobe alone can hold up half the Lakers team!
Deng Fang actually cured Kobe Bryant’s illness before the series started!
How brave!
If you really want to make money, you can wait until the series is over!
See how we deal with you!
The Lakers are coming fiercely and are sure to win the first game.
Of course Deng Fang doesn't care what the Lakers think.
Strength is respected on the court, and shouting slogans is useless.
The purpose of shouting slogans while playing is just to attract more attention and sell more tickets for the Warriors.
After all, the Warriors will be yours sooner or later!
The Lakers sent the same starting lineup as before: Fisher, Kobe, Artest, Gasol, and Andrew Bynum.
Twin towers, guard the inside and sharpen the position!
This is the most mainstream concept of this era, and this style of play can be accepted by most head coaches.
Zen masters are no exception.
What kind of players you have, you can only use what kind of tactics.
For the Lakers, the most suitable one is the Twin Towers.
The twin towers are the main defense, Kobe is the main offense, Gasol is the pivot, and the triangle offense starts!
The Warriors' starting lineup is different from the regular season. Deng Fang brought Curry, Belinelli, Prince, DeAndre Jordan and Lopez.
The simplified version of the Splash Brothers plus the Twin Towers was the lineup that was the focus of the last two games of the series against the Jazz.
For what?
Just to deal with the Lakers!
No matter how the Warriors play, the Lakers will definitely get to the Twin Towers!
The defending champion must have the confidence to defend the champion!
As long as we play our own style and our triangle offense is good, then victory will definitely belong to us!
Of course it's okay for the Zen Master to think so.
This is how the Lakers won the championship last season, and they should still have this confidence.
You can adjust the lineup during the season, and you can continue to experiment when you encounter a team that is not very strong in the playoffs. But when it counts, at the critical moment, the head coach still trusts the lineup that is used the most and has the best effect.
The Lakers' best lineup is the Twin Towers!
These are also the five best people on the Lakers.
Putting the five best players in each position on the team into the starting lineup is what most coaches will do.
Of course, Zen masters are no exception.
Precisely because they calculated that the Lakers would use the Twin Towers, the Warriors took DeAndre Jordan and Belinelli.
First of all, the Lakers cannot be allowed to wreak havoc in the penalty area.
If Bynum or Gasol were to kill everyone in the penalty area, the Warriors would be in danger.
If there is too much physical difference to match the position, the shooting rate of the inside attack will still be much higher.
Even if the opponent's inside shooting percentage is average, offensive rebounds alone can nail you down in a half-court battle!
Postseason rebounds are a lifeline!
Everyone worked hard and the game turned into a physical battle, so rebounding was very crucial.
You are a twin tower, and I am also a twin tower, so at least you won't suffer much in rebounding.
The main function of replacing Jordan is defense and rebounding. The Lakers must not be allowed to open up the offense in the paint!
