I am Really an Insider - Vol 4 Chapter 734
Wayne is standing outside the Staples Center, which is crowded with people today.
Outside the arena, there are huge posters full of chattering. All the fans, all wearing jerky jerseys.
This may be the most high-profile end-of-season battle in NBA history.
In most cases, the last regular season of the season is often not important.
After all, more exciting playoffs are coming, and it is rare for a team to rely on the last game to determine the final ranking.
But today this game is different.
The victory of this game not only determines whether the Jazz can make the playoffs, but also has a special background such as the battle of retiring.
“It feels like the confrontation with you is not long ago, and when you come back, Kobe will retire.”
Chairman Yao stood next to Wayne, looked up at one of the posters of chattering and holding up the championship, and sighed.
“Yeah, I feel like he was still alive and kicking yesterday, and now he’s an old man.” Wayne shrugged, unexpectedly this time he could personally experience the whole process of the retiring battle.
Counseling Tai put his arms around Wayne’s shoulders: “Don’t be nervous, you are covered by me, the Lakers fans will not beat you.”
Although Wayne had already experienced a chattering retirement in his previous life, it was only through the screen after all.
This time, I personally participated in a serious manner.
Wayne and Artest are one of the few active stars who come to watch the game. After all, most of the stars still have games to play today. Even if there is no game, you have to prepare for the playoffs.
Wayne didn’t want to run, but he couldn’t help it. He told him a month in advance that he had reserved a place for Wayne, and he had to come over.
Don’t get me wrong, this is not a brotherly drama. The reason why Nagging strongly urged Wayne to be there was only because…
He wants to score 60 points in front of Wayne!
Until the last game of his career, this guy did not admit defeat.
The arrival of Wayne and Chairman Yao naturally made the outside of the Staples Center shine.
These two Chinese have a very strong bond with Kobe’s career.
One is Kobe’s good teammate and good partner.
The other is the biggest opponent of Kobe’s career.
They have played a pivotal role in the career of chattering.
To chatter, how could he lose these two in his battle of retirement.
Artest: Well, I just passed by.
Of course, from the perspective of the dream team, Wayne and Yao Ming stand together again, but it is easy to evoke their bad memories.
Recalling the incredible night of the finals in 2008 reminds people of the fear of being dominated by two red giants.
It is estimated that the members of the Dream Eight Team will shudder when they think of Wayne on the outside and Yao Ming on the inside.
When Wayne and Yao Ming walked into the arena, the live TV footage did not forget to give them a close-up.
Los Angeles fans also cheered, of course, most of them are for Yao Ming and Artest.
O’Fang had already arrived on the scene and greeted the two Chinese giants enthusiastically.
Then everyone sat down and waited patiently for the game to start.
The Jazz players are the first to warm up. Regarding the final battle of the nagging career, many people say that the Jazz release water.
This statement is correct or incorrect.
In fact, when the game first started, the Jazz played very seriously.
Because if the Jazz wins and Mosaic loses this game, the Jazz will enter the playoffs as the eighth in the Western Conference.
But after half of the game, there was news that Mosaic had won the last game.
This means that even if the Jazz wins the game, they will still be ninth in the West.
Therefore, in the second half of the game, the Jazz did not play that hard, but they did not completely relax.
Instead, everyone took turns to defend Kobe, and one person played against Kobe once, which is the highest tribute to this legendary veteran.
Everyone on the Jazz team was very serious when they defended solo. They absolutely did not deliberately release the water, and even assisted in the defense in time. It was just that they did not double-team Kobe on purpose.
Just let the chatter all kinds of one-on-one, even if the chatter went crazy in the end, there is still no flanking attack.
But having said that, if you don’t double-team an old man who is almost 40 years old and has wounds everywhere, it doesn’t seem to be a drain.
The Jazz also have to face it, so what is the deal with an old man.
At this time, the Lakers players came out to warm up.
Nagging knew that this was his last chance to break Wayne’s record, so he looked very serious.
Want to get 60 points, this is not a casual thing.
Although the Lakers have decided internally, all the **** will be given priority to Kobe to play today, and there is no need to worry about the right to shoot today.
But even if you give you unlimited power to fire, you may not get 60 points.
Let’s not talk about the issue of defense, just talk about physical fitness.
60 points means a high shot. High shots mean high consumption.
How many players can maintain shooting stability with so many shots?
What’s more, he is still a 38-year-old player.
Before the start of the game, chatter and the guests at the scene were all embraced cordially.
Only when I came to Wayne, the hug turned into a warning: “Look at Wei carefully. Today I will definitely beat you. This is the last time we will win.”
After speaking, he turned and walked away, leaving Wayne’s arms awkwardly hanging in the air.
Wayne: …
What a…what kind of person!
Today, the seats in the front row of Staples are very precious.
And Kobe kept a few for Wayne a month in advance so that Wayne could bring his family to watch the game.
It took so much effort to beat me face to face?
Good for you.
It’s worthy of chatter, it’s just a matter of needlework.
There is a kind of better than having a son!
Before the game started, all the lights on the scene suddenly dimmed.
In the center of the arena, a curtain was hung down.
At this time, there was a voice full of age on the court: “The 13th overall pick in the first round of the 1996 NBA Draft, the Charlotte Hornets chose… Kobe Bryant, from Lauer Merrie En High School!”
The scene when Kobe participated in the draft appeared on the curtain, and then flashed back to those classic moments in his career.
Of course, the scene of the battle between him and Wayne appeared on the screen many times in the 10s.
Kobe looked up at the flashing memories above and couldn’t help but smile.
No one knows what he is thinking at this moment, looking at all of his career.
“Huh? Yao, do you smell a sour smell?”
“You say that, it seems a little bit.”
At this time, Chairman Yao sitting on the sidelines talked with Shaq, and then looked around in confusion.
Where does the sour taste come from!
Wayne sitting next to them: I’m not sour at all. With such a grand and shocking retirement ceremony, I’m really not sour at all. I still like my own way of retirement that disappeared after a press conference, really.
The retiring battle of the chatter is indeed unprecedented.
Those influential players, such as Duncan, Jordan and Wayne before, mostly decided to retire after the end of the season, so naturally there is no opportunity to prepare for the battle of retirement in advance.
And those players who decided to retire after playing before the season are not as influential as chattering and can’t make such a big battle.
Both Wade and Dirk are considered good, although the battle is not so big, but at least the whole process is respected.
When Dirk hit the dog stab in the final battle, in the last forty seconds of the game, the old thief even scolded his players from the sidelines: “What are you doing so tightly on horseback? You let him vote!”
Of course, if Dirk was replaced by Wayne, it would be another scene.
Old thief: “Why are you so gentle? Give Wayne a kick, a kick! Why, don’t you even dare to hit an old man?”
And the worst thing is that Pierce, the first player to diarrhea, was angered by Green in the last year of his career: “Don’t do any retiring tour, the fans don’t like you, you think you are Kobe.”
It is a crit directly.
This is also how Pi Erye was old at that time and didn’t care. According to his temper at the time, he changed hands for $13 in 35 seconds.
Therefore, the chattering retirement campaign is really unique.
After the playback is over, the curtain falls and the scene lights turn on again.
At this time, Chatter finally stood up and stepped into the court solemnly.
Game start!
On the first goal, Nagging showed a strong desire to score. Moreover, Hayward was educated by the first goal in a sports game.
Talking about regular dribble advancement, Hayward didn’t have much defense either.
As a result, Kobe suddenly changed direction in a large arc, directly staggering Hayward, who was excellent in defense.
If he is ten years younger, Kobe will be able to make a quick breakthrough immediately.
But there is no way, after all, 38, the speed is not so fast.
After swaying Hayward to gain a half-length advantage, Kobe prepared to stop the jumper.
But Hayward quickly made up for it. Seeing Kobe holding up the basketball, he jumped up to block the shot without even thinking about it.
However, Kobe just made a fake shot. After hitting Hayward, Kobe flung the ball lightly and placed it in the frame when facing the Jazz player who came up to help defend.
From shaking people to fake moves to scoring goals, the whole process was done in one go.
On the last day, the 24th hopes to show his best side to the fans.
After the game entered the regular mode, the Jazz led the way with stronger hard power.
But on the Lakers’ side, the guy who is about to retire in dozens of minutes has launched a desperate impact again and again.
In the fifth minute of the third quarter, Wayne scored the 30th point of the game after facing the assisting defender with a pull rod layup.
He scored 30 points in the fifth minute of the third quarter, which is pretty good.
But 60 minutes away, it’s still very, very far away.
After the third quarter, Kobe only scored 37 points.
Moreover, I can see that the chatter is already very tired.
Sure enough, after a few minutes of playing in the fourth quarter, Kobe’s score was still frozen at 37 points.
In the tenth minute of the fourth quarter, Kobe made a layup after a quick turn around.
Just when everyone thought Chatter was going to score the 39th point in the game, Jazz forward Jeff Weixi jumped high and gave Chatter a chasing hat from behind.
Seeing this, Wayne feels that the Jazz release of water is even more nonsense.
This Nima is going to pounce all the time!
Wayne even wondered if he would have a butterfly effect due to his arrival, which would make Nag less than 60 points.
After being scammed, Chatter also unwillingly punched the cushion of the basketball hoop.
Then, he glanced at Wayne on the sidelines, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and yelled to himself: “Go on!”
The chattering eyes reminded Wayne of the years when they fought in the Western Conference finals.
He is indeed old, slower, and can’t jump high.
But his desire to win has not changed.
Finally, after a round, Kobe received a pass from Hultas and made a shot from beyond the three-point line, finally getting the 40th point of the game.
40 points, which is also the highest score in a single game of the season.
From this three-pointer, the game completely entered Kobe time.
Turned over to shoot a jumper and hit.
Difficult top shot three-pointer, hit.
The Jazz began to take turns to replace Kobe alone, but most of them were beaten to the head by Kobe.
Kobe scores more tired, and the scores of the two teams are getting closer.
Wei Ping Bryant, who was watching the ball on the spot, had already anticipated something: “Look at what it means today, Kobe not only has to score high, but may even kill!”
One minute before the end of the game, the Lakers trailed 92 to 96 by 4 points.
At this time, Kobe got the ball up, facing the Jazz No. 41 Trey Lyles, directly drew a three-pointer!
Lyles’ defense was not leaking, but Kobe’s shot was slightly receded and Lyles could not cover the ball.
Even so, it can be considered a serious interference with shooting.
But just like what he has done countless times in his career, this unreasonable three-pointer went to the net.
Kobe scored the 56th point of the game, and the Lakers were only 1 point behind the Jazz!
The audience cheered, Kobe turned to look at Wayne on the sidelines and let out a low growl.
At this time, people finally noticed that Kobe and Wayne had a lot of interaction today.
Wayne clapped and shook his head.
Before, people said that Kobe’s curtain call could not be replicated.
Even if Kobe is allowed to play again, he will not be able to play this kind of performance again.
But today, it turns out that even if you fight again, your uncle is still your uncle!
Kobe scored 56 points, and the on-site commentary also began to bluster: “56 points, this is Kobe’s career…should be the top ten points! Oh, yes, it is seventh, seventh highest! ”
This commentary is an inadvertent beep to help chatter.
A score of 56 is an unattainable height for most people in a lifetime.
Even for the stars, this is a lot of points. The best scorer in the United States, Xiaoshuai, has a career high of only 54 points.
In Kobe, 56 points can’t even score in the first five points of his career.
In a blink of an eye, the Jazz side Shelvin Mark hit a three-pointer, giving the Lakers a chance to overtake.
At this time, everyone in the court stood up, wanting to watch Nacha score this key goal.
He calmly controlled the ball forward, everyone in the audience was extremely excited, but his heart was very calm.
Hayward panicked. He knew that the most terrifying killer in the league was about to kill the game.
Kobe waved his hand, called Black to set up a screen, got rid of Hayward and prepared for a breakthrough.
But soon, Lyles made up his defense.
Well, the Jazz just don’t double-team, but it doesn’t mean they don’t defend.
Seeing this situation, Kobe changed to a sudden jump shot, stepping outside the three-point line to make a jump shot.
The basketball flight process seems extremely long, this game is simply the epitome of Kobe’s career.
All kinds of unreasonable moves at critical moments, all kinds of incredible goals. Be strong throughout your life and never compromise.
In the last few minutes, he made people re-see what he was like when he was at his peak.
Wayne watched it for the second time, with goose bumps all over his body, let alone other people.
At the beginning of the nagging, the state of Wuliantie, people were worried that the hips would be pulled at the last stop of the nagging.
But who would have thought that in the end it would be such a script.
A perfect script that can’t even be written by Lao He.
Wayne looked at Kobe in the sky and sighed.
Goodbye, old opponent.
“brush”
“God in, oh my god, the Kobe team has overtaken the score! If the Lakers finally win the game, it will be a quasi lore!”
After the goal, Kobe looked at Wayne again, but this time, he did not roar, but laughed.
The smile of a winner.
Wayne, Kobe’s biggest opponent in his career.
And today, in the final battle of his career. He finally won his biggest opponent again.
This is what he thinks is the perfect end of his career.
To put it simply-Wayne was tricked into killing!
In the end, relying on two free throws, Kobe fixed his scoring in the final game of his career at 60 points-the oldest player in the league with 60 points in a single game, overwhelming Wayne!
The game is not over after the free throw, and the Jazz still has more than ten seconds.
At this point, Director Zhang said abruptly: “Huh? Would you say that the Jazz will score three points for Kobe to play another overtime?”
Good guy, if you hear it, you might be vomiting blood. Is this human?
Are you not exhausting me and not letting me retire? It’s the last day and don’t let me go!
But in the end, the game was completely over due to Hayward’s layup miss.
In the last 4.1 seconds, Chattering was replaced with 60 points in a single game.
He was panting, sweating profusely, and hugged all his teammates.
After hugging his teammates, he walked to the sidelines, hugged O’Fang first, then Yao Ming, and then walked in front of Wayne.
This time, Kobe did not embarrass Wayne, and finally embraced Wayne.
“This time… this time I won, Wayne.” He gasped and spoke intermittently.
I can see that he really did it.
“Well, I got it, I got it, Liu Beep, right?”
Today is the battle of retiring chattering, otherwise Wayne will be humming.
“Thank you for coming, Wei.”
“I wouldn’t be too lazy to come if it weren’t for free tickets.”
“By the way, this summer…huh, huh…”
“What are you doing? You can talk after you breathe well.”
“This summer, send your son over to live for a period of time. I now have time to teach him to play basketball. With you, it will delay him.”
“Oh, good. But no matter how you teach him, he is also my son, so he still has to call me Dad, right?”
“Fuck.”
He babbled, then hammered Wayne’s back hard.
Wayne clutched his back and grinned. Why can’t I be kidding with such a big person! ?
“Come on, you can’t lose in this year’s playoffs. Because, my opponent, my old enemy, must be the strongest!”
After speaking, chattering and laughing while shaking his head, turned and left.
Wayne, everything is good. Whether he plays basketball or his personality is good, they all have an appetite for nagging.
Just open your mouth!
Everything is over. In the end, the chatter was in the middle of the court and gave the final speech at Staples of his career.
Wayne and some other people stood behind him as chatting special guests.
At that moment, Wayne was very nervous, afraid of being beaten!
Because the people standing behind Kobe are all Lakers players. In other words, it was all the people who were defeated by Wayne that year.
Only Wayne came here as an opponent.
Wayne was really afraid that their brothers would all rush to beat him with a single look.
After all, without Wayne, they might all have established a dynasty.
Artest? Even if he helped Wayne, he would be the first to be knocked down. By that time, he would not know who saved whom.
Just like in the original history, Kobe took the microphone and made his final speech. But Wayne didn’t remember anything, only the last sentence.
“WhatIsay? mambaout!”
A generation of legends has come to an end.
Watching his familiar people leave one by one, Wayne was in a daze.
Not only Kobe, Wayne knows that after this season, Duncan, Hardcore, Artest, etc., many people will also leave.
Wayne suddenly felt a sense of loneliness.
Fortunately, UU reading www. There are two mentally retarded sons accompanying me in uukanshu.com.
But how long can I play?
Wayne didn’t continue to think about it. When he decided to come back last year, his original plan was to take one step at a time, and Wayne still has no long-term plan to come back.
The league ratings have been rescued, and the team shares can’t run away. Now, Wayne’s goal of coming back is only a champion.
This is the last goal.
So, let’s take the championship of this season first.
With this group of old, young and young, we will be crazy again at last!
Even if he really wants to leave, Wayne hopes that he will leave with the crown.
Since the Jazz lost, the opponent in the first round is definitely Houston Mosaic.
Although the elementary school students are not there, Wayne feels that it is a shame to lose a game against a Harden who has been guarded by Kardashian.
