The Golden Invincible of Basketball

Chapter 378: Drinking on the plane

The second game of the two series will continue in two days.

Losing the first game, and also the Spurs' home, is not an unacceptable result for the Lakers.

After all, if the Lakers win, it is tantamount to snatching the home court advantage of the series.

However, after losing, the Lakers' training session the next day was closed and not open to the public.

From this move, it can be seen that the impact of this game on the Lakers was greater than expected.

In the training hall, the Lakers were in a full-fighting match, and Kobe's shouts were endless.

In Kobe's words, it is one of the highest in the league.

Of course he did this because he was more demanding on himself and was able to lead by example.

After the training match, teammates went to the locker room one after another, but no one communicated, and the atmosphere was dull.

Bryant did not return to the locker room with the other players, but went to practice alone in the training hall.

Time and again, sweat continued to flow down the forehead.

He also knows that the team's defeat in the first game has a lot to do with his poor feel.

After more than an hour of practice, he habitually lay on the floor and started meditating.

This is also part of his daily training, letting go of himself.

But after a while his meditation was interrupted by footsteps.

He sat up and found that Gasol was returning from the player channel.

Compared with the two consecutive championships, this Lakers team has few people left. The best and most important relationship with him is Da Gasol.

Not only are the two teammates on the field, but the relationship off the field is also very good.

"Excuse you?"

Gasol said with a touch of regret.

"No, I am about to end training."

Bryant said standing up.

"Are you asking me something?"

He stood up and asked directly, it's been more than an hour since the end of the team's training, and Big Gasol hasn't practiced further, so it's time to leave.

Big Gasol nodded and motioned to Bryant to sit down and say.

"I think the key to our win after the All-Star Game, including the first round of the regular season, is to share the ball, which we did not play in the last game."

Big Gasol and Kobe have a good relationship, he dare to say what others dare not say.

Kobe remained silent, only sweat dripping on the floor.

"Kobe, are we going to win, aren't we? We can't afford to lose this season."

Gasol continued.

Outsiders don't know, but a few of them know very well that before the All-Star game, the contradiction between Kobe and Howard was once unregulated, and Howard was already on the shelf.

Later, Kobe himself asked the management not to trade Howard, and then traded to Livingston and CJ Miles, and then held a team meeting to say that they could not afford to lose this season.

Gasol's statement was not a question, but a reminder.

"I know."

Bryant nodded, then stood up, regardless of Gasol, and walked back to the locker room.

Big Gasol sighed as he watched Kobe's back.

Kobe has been suppressing his scoring desire for the team this season.

Forming F4 this season has been under tremendous pressure and they really can't afford to lose.

Two days later, the Lakers and Spurs game continued at the ATT Arena.

On this day, Kobe showed the fans his different adjusting ability. He only shot 15 times in the whole game, and his 6-for-15 shooting was still average.

But in addition to scoring 17 points, he posted 7 rebounds, 8 assists, and 2 steals and 1 blocked shots.

The Lakers played an iconic game of their season.

Howard got the team's highest 21 points and 13 rebounds, Nash 11 points and 10 assists, Big Gasol 16 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists, Miles 12 points, Artest 10 points, 5 rebounds and 2 steals.

The Lakers' team scored 6 doubles, defeated the Spurs 104 to 100, and tied the series to a 1: 1 draw.

This is also the first time the Spurs have lost in the first two games of the series since Tang Tian joined the Spurs.

"The Lakers have demonstrated their competitiveness, and they have proved that they are still champions."

ESPN made a news report with such a headline after the game.

Obviously, the victory of this game not only boosted the morale of the Lakers, but also regained confidence in them.

If F4 is neat, their strength still cannot be underestimated.

After the two games, the two sides will move to Los Angeles for the next two games.

Although they lost the second game, the Spurs players looked good, and there were jokes on the plane.

Tang Tian also talked with Green about the best general manager announced by the league not long ago.

Ugeri defeated Morey and became the best general manager of the 2012-2013 season.

Although the Nuggets were eliminated by the Warriors in the first round, their record of breaking the team's history in the regular season cannot be erased.

Except for exceptions such as averaging triple-doubles, most of the league's awards are tied to performance.

"Don, come."

While chatting, Tang Tian turned around and found that Popovich called him.

NBA teams are flying chartered away, coaches and managers are sitting in business class.

Tang Tian got up and followed Popovich to the business class.

Popovich's seat was already filled with a bottle of wine and two glasses.

Obviously, this old man is drunk on the plane, and asked him to accompany him.

Previously, due to the reduction of playing time, the two were somewhat separated, and Popovich did not find him drinking.

Now that things have passed so long, the gap is long gone, and this party of drunkards is inevitable.

Sit down and drink, and the two inevitably talked about losing the game again.

I don't know when it will start, Popovich already treats Tang Tian as a half assistant coach.

"When the guy from Kobe first entered the league, I just became the head coach of the Spurs. I was very impressed by the first game between the two teams that year. He played against Dominique Wilkins, you know. Although Wilkins is old, he is still the team's scoring leader.

Kobe beat him twice, UU reading www.uukanshu.com was covered twice, and once was a big hat that covered his face, and made the then Lakers coach Del Harris jump off his feet, almost replaced him But his third sting was a foul made by Wilkins.

At that time I knew that guy was a super paranoid, but you said that such a person, all 35, why suddenly changed sex? "

Popovich wondered at the same time as Tang Tian.

"No, sir, he didn't change sex, he was just suppressing his desire to score."

Tang Tian lowered his glass and said.

Kobe is strong in scoring, but the problem is too scoring too.

At the time, the Lakers' three consecutive championships were due to Phil Jackson's suppression of Bryant's desire to score.

Phil Jackson specifically mentioned this when giving a speech to Kobe's autobiography "Spirit of Mamba". Remember the website URL, www. biquxu. Com, easy to read next time, or enter "" on Baidu, you can enter this site
