This Forward is Not Serious

Kobe was obviously stunned when he heard what Lin Ying said. He didn't expect Lin Ying to say such a thing at all.

But soon, he realized what Lin Ying said.

This should be to let him come to the Nets as an assistant coach or team consultant or something, just like Barkley before, mixed with the Nets for a championship.

"Do you remember what you told me about the helicopter before?"

Kobe said with a smile.

"Ok?"

Lin Ying looked at Kobe suspiciously.

Why did he suddenly talk about the helicopter again, did he change his mind, or did he want to fly?

"You said I should drive it myself, and you're right, so how can I get a fifth championship like Charles in that way?"

Kobe continued.

Hearing this, Lin Ying realized what Kobe wanted to say.

Kobe's arrogance in his bones did not allow him to mix the ring like Barkley did.

If he got the championship ring in that way, he wouldn't have the confidence to say in front of O'Neal, look, I have one more championship than you.

That's a decision Kobe would make, and it's a decision he should make.

However, Lin Ying smiled.

Because he found his words ambiguous, Kobe seemed to have misunderstood.

"Kobe, do the Lakers look like... your son?"

He then looked at Kobe and said.

Now it was Kobe's turn to look at Lin Ying suspiciously.

Because this metaphor is really weird.

"If my son is disobedient, should he be beaten?"

Lin Ying was discussing parenting with Kobe.

Well, they're both dads.

But Kobe was silent after listening to this sentence.

Because he had already heard that Lin Ying was using a metaphor.

He has deep feelings for the Lakers. When he first arrived at the Lakers, he was the son and the Lakers were the father.

But now that time flies, and the stars change, he and the Lakers are slowly switching roles.

In his final season before retiring, it could indeed be said that he has become a father and the Lakers are his sons.

But what the Lakers did this past offseason was really too "rebellious".

Just telling "him" it's wrong, he won't listen.

Only when he hurts him and knows that he is afraid will he know that he was wrong and never dare.

"I mean, you can actually come back and play a season with the Nets and do it yourself."

Seeing Kobe thinking, Lin Ying continued, and explained the ambiguous sentence at the beginning again.

Kobe was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then stared at Lin Ying with wide eyes, with an incredible look on his face.

I have to say that Lin Ying's suggestion is a path he never thought of!

Lin Ying saw Kobe's eyes and nodded to him.

Kobe frowned, then fell into thought.

What Lin Ying said really moved his heart.

Because of the death of old Buss, after Jenny came to power, he had no right to speak in the Lakers at all.

He loves the Lakers, but the Lakers he loves are no longer worthy of his love.

So he doesn't care about the Lakers?

That's obviously impractical for a player who has been with the Lakers for 21 years.

If you want to manage it, but you can't, it's like walking to a dead end.

This is also the reason why he would go to Brooklyn to talk to Lin Ying.

Now Lin Ying offered him a third way.

This way is indeed the only way to solve the problem.

only…

How can he come back after a high-profile farewell season?

Lin Ying didn't know what Kobe was thinking, but he could guess it to some extent.

"Didn't Michael come back twice? If the fans hear you come back, who will care about your past, all they care about is,"

Lin Ying paused when he said this, and then increased his tone,

"You're back."

This sentence is a bit straight to the heart.

After Kobe was stunned for a while, the word "heart" appeared on his face.

He definitely wants to win another championship, just one more than O'Neal, which can be fully felt from his performance in his retirement touring season.

One thing that's different from history is that he wasn't injured, and George wasn't here when he announced his retirement.

It's just that the water poured out of the words he said, he couldn't let out the words, and then changed his mind.

Then he is not Kobe, but James.

And one thing, he just retired not long ago, his body shape is still good, and the difficulty of coming back is also the least.

If in another two years, he really wants to come back, the difficulty that needs to be done at that time will increase exponentially.

"I need to go back and think about it."

Kobe was really moved, but he didn't make a decision on the spot, because this is not only his business, but also his family, and he also needs to consider the negative impact it will bring to him.

Lin Ying smiled and nodded.

He was originally on a whim, after all, before he changed it, he really couldn't imagine what Kobe would look like in another team's jersey.

But a series of operations by the Lakers made this impossible to have a chance.

He also wanted to look forward to what Kobe would look like in a basketball jersey!

…

"Good news, Seth has promised to come to Los Angeles!"

In the Lakers' general manager's office, the team's new general manager Rob Pelinka burst out laughing.

After Jenny took over the Lakers, there was a major purge of the front office.

It turned out that the team's meritorious general manager Kupchak was swept out, and Pelinka replaced him.

Pelinka was born as a basketball player, and his experience is also inspiring. The star player in high school went to college because of his physical condition and missed the NBA. After that, he moved to the legal industry, became a professional agent with his smart mind, and got on line with Kobe Bryant.

When Kobe was deeply involved in the turmoil in the Eagle County incident, he used his legal status to help Kobe reduce negative turmoil and become Kobe's trusted person.

With the golden name of Kobe Bryant, his agent's business is also booming, and Harden, Iguodala and others have all been his clients.

Although there is also a black history like Boozer, in general, his performance in the field of agents is still very prominent.

And by virtue of his relationship with Kobe, he also successfully entered the management of the Lakers and climbed up step by step.

What's even more rare is that he is smooth in life, not only has a good relationship with Kupchak, but also has a good relationship with the people in Jenny's team.

So Kupchak recommended Pelinka before he left, and it is logical for Pelinka to be in the position.

Sitting across from Pelinka at this point was James.

James, who lives in Los Angeles, got in touch with Pelinka as soon as he got to the Lakers.

Pelinka also respects James, a super new signing, and communicated with him immediately about signings.

Little Curry is the player James named.

There are not many free agents left in the free market now. Although Curry performed well last season, he has reached the strength to start.

But his strengths and weaknesses are obvious. The championship team can't get him to start, and the average team can't give him the salary he wants.

This has also led to the end of the free market. Although he has a lot of rumors with several teams, he still has not confirmed the contract.

But it is precisely because of this that he is now considered a "big-name player" in the free market.

Coupled with his three-point ability is a good fit for James, it's not surprising that James will call him by name.

Of course, there is a hidden point. Curry is a former Nets player, and in a sense, he is also a player "abandoned" by the Nets.

He knows the Nets' tactical system, and should have a grudge against the Nets.

Add those points together, and he's really a good fit for the current Lakers.

James gave a hearty smile.

After several facial operations this summer, his appearance has improved a lot, and he has always been in a good mood.

Now that he has become teammates with Davis, he is still in the Lakers, and the new general manager of the Lakers is still so polite to him.

These factors are mixed together, it is really difficult for him to be unhappy!

After finalizing Curry, the Lakers' starting lineup next season will be Paul, Curry, James, Davis, and Chandler.

This lineup has the strength to compete with the Nets!

What he has lost in the past few years will surely be found this year!

After laughing, Pelinka put away his smile, and then looked at James with a serious expression:

"I have bad news here."

"Ok?"

James looked at Pelinka suspiciously.

"I heard that there was some conflict between Kobe and the Lakers, and Kobe may go to the opposite side of the Lakers."

Pelinka and Kobe have a close relationship, and he is the most well-informed about Kobe's news.

He knew that one of the important reasons why James chose the Lakers was Kobe. In "Decision Four", the only person James mentioned was Kobe.

So it's a bit sensitive.

But James's next reaction surprised him.

James didn't have the anger he imagined, but was calm, as if he had heard of an insignificant thing.

"That's okay, we have to trust Kobe."

Pelinka smiled shyly. He thought that James would at least make a statement to chat with Kobe.

It can only be said that he overestimated Kobe's position in James' heart.

Maybe it was just a polite remark, and even if the fourth decision was made now, there should not necessarily be Kobe's name in James's words.

It was a little emotional, but it also gave him a more real understanding of James.

After all, it is the same for him. No matter how good the relationship with Kobe was in the past, Kobe is already in the past tense, and James is his present tense.

…

a week later.

Brooklyn, Barclays Center.

Lin Ying and Durant are training again with sweat.

Apart from talking about parenting issues, the two now spend most of the rest of the time on training topics.

Although no one said it, after the Lakers really formed the new Big Three, they still put a lot of pressure on them.

Just after practice, Lin Ying picked up the phone and found that there was a missed call from Kobe.

He was still a little excited when he saw the phone.

Of course, he was not the only one who was excited. After Durant came over to see who was calling, he couldn't help rubbing his hands.

Lin Ying had already told him about Kobe.

If this is fortunate enough to play a season with Kobe Bryant, it would be a great blessing in life.

Lin Ying dialed the phone back, and Kobe picked up the phone after a while.

"Lin, I have one last question, will Kevin have any issues with my past? You know, no matter what role I have on the team, I will demand the highest of my teammates."

Hearing Kobe's words, Lin Ying's face suddenly showed a smile.

Kobe Bryant should have made a decision, but there are final concerns.

It's a good thing to have a chance to win the fifth championship of his career, but if he doesn't get it instead, it's not what he wants.

It's hard to change a person's character, especially when Kobe is at this age, so only others adapt to him, but not him.

That's why he's worried. He doesn't want to be the culprit preventing the Nets from completing their three-peat.

"I'm fine, Kobe, how can I have a problem!"

Before Lin Ying could speak, Durant, who was beside him, couldn't help but leaned over and shouted.

Kobe was stunned for a moment, obviously he didn't know that Durant was by Lin Ying's side.

"Kobe, you don't have to worry about this, the atmosphere of the Nets is very good, especially in the past two years, Kevin and I have both trained a lot, if you see Nikola's training volume, you will be surprised. "

Lin Ying followed suit.

Durant is speaking personally, while Lin Ying is speaking on behalf of the team.

On this point, he still has the right to speak. UU reading www.uukanshu. com

And this point can actually be felt by Kobe. After all, the label of a team is definitely closely related to their core.

Kobe asks this because the decision is too big for him personally and he needs to confirm it again.

"Okay, are you training together? I'll join you tomorrow."

Kobe Bryant didn't hesitate, just spoke up.

tomorrow!

This is very Kobe, make a decision and start it immediately.

Lin Ying was also inexplicably excited after hearing this.

Work out with Kobe, he hasn't done that in a long time.

And this time and all the previous situations are not necessary, this time, they are teammates!

How comforting it sounds, but how incredible.

…

News of Bryant's impending signing with the Nets also broke on social media before Bryant flew to Brooklyn.

This directly shocked the league.

There are many reasons for the shock. Kobe has just had a vigorous retirement tour, and it has only been a few months since he came back!

And Kobe didn't choose the Lakers to come back! This makes many Lakers fans feel unacceptable.

Because Kobe was an absolute totem player to the Lakers.

This is even more incredible than when Karl Malone left the Jazz to join the Lakers.

Of course, some fans on social media who have endured it for a long time finally confided in their hearts and began to criticize what the Lakers did this summer.

"If I were Kobe, I would also choose to leave such a Laker, because he is no longer worthy of my love."

Of course, there are many of these voices, but the loudest and the most voices are the same as Lin Ying expected before:

Kobe, he's coming back! (To be continued)
