He is indeed the player who is most like me! Congratulations to Kobe! Congratulations to the Raptors! - Qiao Shen tweeted, while praising Kobe, he did not forget to praise himself!
In short, all the basketball news that day was ruined by Kobe. As for what data others got that night, no one cared much about it. Because 80 points, this data is too terrible.
On the other side of the ocean, the situation is also out of control. The number of searches for the words Kobe and 80 suddenly skyrocketed. Even if the Lakers were officially banned, it could not withstand the enthusiasm of the fans. And with the strength of the Lakers, Kobe Bryant
The miracle, Tang Qian's entry into the starting lineup, the official Weibo of the basketball administrators and the basketball association, more and more people left comments and curses, hoping that the ban would be lifted as soon as possible so as not to delay everyone's watching the game.
This angered the letter manager and he almost smashed the desk in the office. He was trembling and yelled angrily:
Mobs! They are all Internet mobs! If this happened in the past, let’s see how I deal with them!
Contact the Weibo staff immediately and close the comments! You are asking me why??? Is it okay if I look upset? Idiot!!! Go and do it immediately!!!
Damn the Lakers! Damn Tang Qian! Damn Kobe! You all deliberately messed with me, right? I’m not done with you!!! Not done!!!
Trustees can only talk about this kind of nonsense. Do you have to blame someone for playing well or working hard? Besides, the Lakers are in the United States. Do you think you can control them? Speaking out will only make people angry.
Laughing so hard! However, the good days of the trust management are numbered. It issued an "important document" and "categorical order". It must obtain a ranking in the first Basketball World Cup, otherwise it will be used against him.
Originally, the trust management planned to "fish in troubled waters" and directly find an excuse to give up the wild card for this World Cup. After all, it was "lucky" that the first Basketball World Cup happened to "collide" with the Asian Games, so this was a "god-sent opportunity." After all, it was
After so many games, the information management finally began to understand that the national team under his command was not good at all, not strong at all, and even very weak. It was far worse than the 2008 Olympics!
Therefore, he wants to produce results as soon as possible and win some goals to stabilize his position.
Obviously, compared to the Basketball World Cup, which is full of strong players, this Asian Games is much easier. This will save me from having no achievements at all and no political achievements in the past few years. The original time and space were fooled by him like this.
After all, he doesn't know much about football. But this time, he didn't succeed.
Because of Tang Qian's strong rise, some people couldn't help but make "small reports" to the superiors.
The content of the "small report" is that there is no conflict between the Men's Basketball World Cup and the Asian Games. The former is held from August 30 to September 14, and the latter only opens on September 19. It takes a week to recover.
.And we must first train with a strong team before we can have the chance to avenge our shame in the Incheon Asian Games. Don’t forget, we didn’t even get third place in last year’s Asian Championships. We even lost to Bodo. We can’t compete with a strong team.
Military training is very likely to be another disastrous defeat in Asia. Furthermore, South Korea has also participated in the World Cup and their own Asian Games. Is it possible that if others can do it, we can't?
It doesn't matter if a person writes an "anonymous letter" like this. Anyway, the suggestion box above usually doesn't receive a single bird feather for most of the year, but suddenly there are so many, so it has to attract attention and attention. Regardless of these little tricks, as long as the above suggestion box has a little
After careful study, it was immediately "exposed", and then a ruthless "order" came down.
It is necessary to participate in the Basketball World Cup in Spain. The finances of the Basketball Association and the Basketball Association are not tight, and there is no need to "cut back and diet"!
Suddenly, the letter manager's "wishful thinking" failed, and he started cursing the bastards who wrote these "anonymous letters" all day long. His mood fluctuated greatly, and he no longer looked like the "gloomy and gloomy" person before.
Chen Xin also saw that the trust manager was probably going to be "lost", so he had better stay away as soon as possible so as not to harm Chi Yu.
This is the domestic political ecology. When you gain power, others will naturally flatter you. But if you lose power? Then I'm sorry, you and I are not familiar with each other at all!
Now is not the time to fight for the position of trust management. Being able to keep his position is the top priority! Chen Xin has been around for so long, and he still has this political consciousness.
Los Angeles, Kobe Bryant mansion.
"Honey~ There is news about you in newspapers, news, and the Internet. 80 points is amazing. Why are you so serious?" Vanessa Bryant asked incomprehensively while lying in Kobe's arms.
Said. Kobe has always loved this wife very much, especially this marriage. It was a "vocal and verbal battle" at that time. No one was optimistic about it. Everyone thought that the former was a flesh and blood. However, Kobe insisted on persisting. This is probably the same as
"Paranoid" character has a lot to do with it.
You say I can’t do it? Then I’ll show it to you.
Phil Jackson even teased in an interview that one of Kobe Bryant’s biggest hobbies after the game was to go shopping with Vanessa!
This is evident from this.
But this time Kobe didn't change his expression. He didn't even read these newspapers and reports. He just whispered: "Dear, I am no longer 25 years old. This achievement does not stimulate me, does it?"
"What I want is a championship, a championship ring!" Kobe's eyes became a little sharp as he said: "I want to catch up with Michael in terms of championship numbers and complete the 'bet against each other' in the 2003 All-Star Game.
'." I guess many people don't know this story, but Kobe himself remembers it. The two were talking "trash" at the time, but Jordan Sr.'s final kill left him speechless.
This sentence is: Hey, man, I have 6 rings, but you only have 3, right? Right? Wait until you get 3 more rings.
What is Kobe's personality? He actually doesn't like to "play blindly". For example, after winning the championship in 2009, he did not immediately ridicule O'Neal who sang "Kobe's Song" in the nightclub last year. He did not say, "I have already talked to you."
It's a tie." Instead, he waited until he won his fifth NBA championship the following year before he said to the media: "12345, hey, now I have one more than Shaq."
This is Kobe's style of acting, but for Jordan, he can "relax" himself a little.
6 pieces, I still have one less!
It's not to say that his historical status surpasses Jordan's. Kobe knows that this is already impossible.
It's just that I just want to fulfill that "squirting" bet.
This year will be my last chance!
At the same time, the first round of NBA All-Star voting was opened. Kobe Bryant was far ahead in the number of votes, followed by Tang Qian, followed closely. This time David Stern did not interfere again, because of Tang Qian's growth.
met his requirements.
Now that it has been achieved, in order to expand the Chinese market, he can officially join the "star-making plan list". Both he and Adam Silver feel that China cannot block Tang Qian for too long. They currently need a powerful star both in public and private matters.
The presence.
And now, besides Tang Qian, who has the qualifications to be this representative?
Their judgment was very accurate, because history has slowly begun to take a slight turn.
On December 10, 2013, US time, the Los Angeles Lakers faced the visiting Phoenix Suns at home. The latter has been a weak team since Steve Nash left. This game is no different, with 9 wins and 12 losses.
Ranked tenth in the Western Conference. Of course, this is the reason why they are in the Western Conference. If they were in the Eastern Conference, they could just squeeze into the current eighth place in the Eastern Conference.
This year's Western Conference is destined to be another round of crazy fighting, and the half-court advantage may be decisive.
There is nothing good to say about this game. The Suns as a whole are very poor. From position 1 to position 5, they are all ordinary players. You said there is Dragic at position 2? What is the use of that? Kobe attacks and defends the whole game.
Together, they defeated the Slovenian in the first quarter. Not to mention the cruelty of No. 24, whoever comes now has the same attitude.
So does Jordan.
Kobe Bryant scored 31 points and did not play the entire fourth quarter. Tang Qian scored 12 points, 18 rebounds and 5 blocks, successfully completing the Lakers' interior defense work. The Lakers defeated the Suns 98-90, 8 points.
.Los Angeles Lakers win 12th consecutive game!
Who can stop the Lakers? This has become a question, because the Lakers are currently the only team in the NBA that has won more than 10 consecutive games. As the saying goes, anything that shows off is destroyed by the wind, so the Lakers naturally become
He became a thorn in the side of 29 teams in the league and a thorn in the flesh.
In the 22nd game of the regular season, the Lakers challenged the Thunder away from home. This was supposed to be a highly rated and exciting "Enter the Dragon", but due to the absence of both Durant and Russell Westbrook due to the flu, it became
One-sided. Without the "double young men", the Thunder team had no threat at all. With Tang Qian guarding the inside and slapping 9 big blocks, the Lakers won 13 consecutive victories without losing a fight!
Kobe's touch in this game was relatively average. It was probably because his opponent was too weak and he had no desire to compete. He "only" scored 29 points with a 40% shooting rate, but he sent 8 assists in this game, which was also
It can be considered that the merit has been made up for.
Watching this national live broadcast, Barkley shook his head and gasped.
Also, the Thunder originally had only half a game less than the Lakers, ranking third in the Western Conference, but the absence of the "two young men" directly ruined the suspense. The Oklahomans did not lead even once for the entire 48 minutes.
This shows the "boringness" of this game and the Thunder's reliance on "double young players".
It is actually very difficult for a team like this to make it to the end in the playoffs.
Because their role players rely too much on the "two young players", they may not be able to perform any extra. In this way, in a fierce series of competition, it is easy for others to target and suppress the "two young players".
The future disintegration of the Thunder is not without preconditions or foreshadowing.
13 consecutive wins!
Back to back on the second day, the Lakers defeated the underdog Charlotte Bobcats. This was also the last NBA season for the Bobcats. It is said that after the Pelicans were established, the "Flying Majesty" was actively operating, hoping that Charlotte would welcome back the Hornets.
Team name. After all, in the Jordan era, the Hornets belonged to Charlotte, not New Orleans.
Kobe Bryant scored 39 points! The team won 14 consecutive games!
Two days later, the Lakers defeated the Hawks again, winning 15 consecutive games!
In back-to-back away games against the Grizzlies, the Grizzlies were miserable. If he were not in the West, his current record would be enough to rank fourth in the Eastern Conference, which is considered to be in the upper league. But in the Western Conference, he is just seventh, and he can be ranked at any time.
They may be dragged down by the team behind them.
The Grizzlies are one of the few teams in the league that are still playing positional warfare and a slow pace, but now this is what the Lakers like. Kobe scored 49 points in the game and took the game away with 9 points in the last 3 minutes.
The Grizzlies lacked this kind of super scorer, so they resisted for three and a half quarters, but were still choked to death. This feeling made Gasol, the core of the team, very frustrated. He said:
We lost one Kobe in this game! That’s all!
This actually makes no sense. In this game, the Grizzlies' inside line was suppressed by Tang Qian. Gasol and Zach Randolph combined were not as good as Tang Qian in terms of rebounds and blocks.
The rate was also very dismal. If they hadn't felt good on the outside tonight, they wouldn't have been able to resist until the last minute.
Tang Qian completed the "Today in History" challenge in this game, but his score was not exceeded, so he only got one silver fragment.
It seems that the Lakers are unstoppable? In fact, this is not the case, because the Lakers have become a key target and have begun to be observed and studied by various teams. For example, in the game on the 20th, the Lakers almost lost. If Kobe hadn't scored 4 points in a row in the end,
Tang Qian blocked Kevin Love's shot. It's still unclear who will win in this game.
101-99, the Lakers defeated the Timberwolves with a 2-point lead.
Kobe scored 54 points and looked great, but problems were being exposed step by step.
17 consecutive wins!
The outside media began to preach that the Lakers were powerful and unrivaled, but little did they know that the danger was quietly coming.
On December 21, 2013, there were four days until Christmas, and five days before the NBA officially released the first round of All-Star voting for the 2013-2014 season. At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the Warriors general manager’s office.
Ringed.
"So you don't want to be a broadcaster anymore?" Warriors general manager Bob Myers said.
"Yeah, I'm tired of explaining some stupid tactics every day. I feel bored. I might as well do it myself." The visitor sat on the sofa chair opposite and crossed his legs.
"Why did you choose us? Where's Phil and New York?" Bob Myers asked.
"Why are you in such a hurry to find me? That's why I'm sitting here." The visitor acted very calmly, not like he was here to apply for a job.
"It seems that you have become much more articulate during your time as a commentator on ESPN and T.N.T."
"It's normal for the working environment to change a person, isn't it?"
"Okay, but seriously, have you really decided to come to our side? Unlike Phil, I can't give you a solid head coaching contract from the beginning. Maybe it's easier to start as an assistant coach.
Let the fans and management accept it. Although I believe in you and you believe in yourself, after all, you are a rookie with no coaching experience. I have to think more about this. I hope you can understand." Bob May
After Sis finished speaking, the visitor said nonchalantly: "Have you ever heard of the word genius? I think I actually have more talent as a head coach than as a player, general manager, or commentator."
"Are you serious?" Bob Myers asked.
"Haha~ Of course I'm joking~ Don't take it seriously~" The visitor changed the subject and started to suggest: "But if I prove that I can do it, then... please give me a salary increase."
"You haven't played a game yet, you are still a rookie in the coaching world, and you want to increase your salary? Then tell me how much you want to increase?" Bob Myers said. "It's not much, just an extra 10 million.
." The visitor's words made the general manager of the Warriors "shocked" and said: "Please, are you serious? 15 million in 4 years is the maximum I can get. You have to know that you are still in the coaching world.
A newbie, a rookie! As a newbie, do you think you can get such a high salary?"
Originally, Bob Myers was going to say "Are you worthy?", but he changed his words and was not as straightforward as he said it.
"To tell you the truth, Bob." The visitor was unmoved and continued to speak unhurriedly: "There is another reason why I came here, um, a personal reason."
"What? You said." the Warriors general manager said.
"Phil and I offered a big contract, but the owner of the Knicks, the stupid James Dolan, didn't agree. He didn't even show up once during the entire negotiation process. In this case, don't blame me for not thinking about Phil.
My old relationship changed hands." After hearing what the visitor said, the Warriors general manager wondered: "Does that have anything to do with this? After all, Phil has not officially joined the Knicks management yet, and they have to wait for the current incumbent
Just resign."
"Yes, it's a big deal." The visitor said: "I have to get a contract that is higher than the price offered there, so that I can slap that James Dolan in the face, so that I can further prove his
Stupid. This is very important to me, do you understand? Bob?" "Just for your fighting spirit, I have to pay an extra 10 million US dollars in vain? I have to waste countless words to convince the fans and management? Is it worth it?
?" Before Bob Myers could finish speaking, the visitor said: "Of course it's worth it."
"I guarantee that in this contract, I will bring you a Larry O'Brien Cup. Isn't it worth 10 million US dollars for such an amount?"
"Larry? O'Brien Trophy? Come on! Don't make me laugh, okay? You know how long it's been since our team touched the floor of the Finals, oh no, the Western Conference Finals? I bet even the hardcore
Warriors fans, there is no word 'win championship' in your head right now! So your joke is too big, really, too big!" Bob Myers couldn't help but laugh as he said it. Because Olympics
Bryant Cup? Oh my god, I guess the Warriors’ owner hasn’t even thought about this word.
It would be great if you can guarantee to reach the Western Conference semifinals, and also win the championship, you can really brag! No wonder the boss in New York doesn’t want you!
But at this moment, the visitor gave the Warriors general manager an unforgettable look and said:
"Don't believe it? How about you let me try it first?"
PS: Once again, a big chapter is presented. Xiaozi took it out sincerely. It depends on everyone next~
By the way, the stories in this chapter all have traces of reality. They are not made up by Xiao Zi out of thin air. The boss in New York is known as spending money without blinking an eye. He has given countless poison contracts in his hands, but this time, he just "
"Stingy" once, and this time, perhaps it was a waste of New York's opportunity to regain dominance in the league. The fate of life is really unpredictable.
