My Name is Kobe Bryant - chapter 926
“GIGI! Give Uncle Nash a smile!”
In a villa on the beach of Santa Monica in Los Angeles, countless well-known basketball players gathered together.
This is the second birthday of Kobe’s second daughter GiannaMaria-OnoreBryant. GIGI, born on May 2, 2006, is already a black elf who loves to run around.
“Shu 黍!” GIGI stepped on his short legs and ran into Nash’s embrace. This uncle named Nash is familiar with her!
“Little princess, slow down.” Yao Ming bent down on one side with a loving face, for fear that GIGI would fall to the ground.
“This kid will definitely be an excellent basketball player in the future.” Manu’s hair became thinner, he scratched the back of his head and said with emotion.
“Envy the boss, my daughters are so cute.” Bowen was sour.
“It’s decided, I want to have a bunch of little girls with me too!” Melon secretly made up his mind.
It was two years ago that the running dynasty won the championship.
That time winning the championship, all the players of the Lakers almost burned everything out. Especially Nash, playing closed games directly made him completely lose his proud speed in the following seasons.
Although Nash is still a first-line guard in the league with his shooting and organization, and easily scored 14+12 with the Lakers, it must be admitted that this 30-year-old guard has begun to decline.
In addition to the league’s blustery atmosphere, the Lakers haven’t played the Western Conference for two consecutive years.
old.
The team’s main player Bowen is 37 years old, Daben is 34 years old, and Nash is 34 years old.
Several cores of the running dynasty, their state has declined compared with the peak.
After three consecutive championships, the players will have ups and downs in both their bodies and their desire to survive. The Lakers’ performance in the past two years has not been great.
The Heat won the championship in the 06-07 season, and Grant Hill’s addition helped O’Neal win his sixth championship, which in one fell swoop washed away the shame that he left Kobe as a waste.
The 2007-08 season championship was won by the Celtics, who introduced Garnett in the summer.
McGrady, Garnett, Penny and Rajon Rondo, Perkins, and Tony Allen on the bench, roaring Tianzun.
These two years have not belonged to the Lakers.
The big era burst out with the largest number of stars in basketball history.
Hug Tuan has allowed countless super teams to qualify. These teams are completely worthy of any previous championship.
This is the era of basketball!
In 2008, Kobe was 30 years old.
After this gathering, he will lead a large number of top players in the league to the Beijing Olympics to wash away the humiliation of the US team being bloodbathed by Argentina in the Athens Olympics.
This time, this will be the real dream team!
. . .
“Congratulations to the U.S. team for winning the Olympic champion!”
Kobe throws the ball into the sky!
James, Wade, Anthony, Paul, Durant and others flocked to their big brother Kobe.
“Won! Finally washed away the shame that the **** Larry Brown brought us!”
“The runner-up Chinese team, it’s a glorious defeat.”
“This Dream Eight! Is the strongest dream team in history!”
“No! A team with Kobe is the strongest team in history!”
Howard has stars in his eyes, looking at Kobe.
too strong.
Is this the strongest defender in the world.
If I join hands with him, I will definitely make a team even greater than the OK Dynasty.
Kobe and Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian, Sun Yue, Zhu Fangyu and others embraced and saluted.
These players have entered the NBA and achieved far greater achievements than in the previous life.
This is inseparable from the help planning of the growing Mamba Academy.
Mamba Academy has become the world’s largest sports training organization. In this Olympic Games, a large number of talented players from various countries appeared, all of which were trained by Mamba Academy.
Among them, the outstanding ones are the golden boy Rubio, Pau Gasol, Milicic, Yi Jianlian, Sun Yue and others.
Mamba Academy even unearthed some players who did not embark on the path of professional basketball in the previous life, and became the backbone of the world basketball.
“I’m old, it’s time to retire.” Silver Fox Harris had a smile on his mouth.
“You are still the strongest coach in the world.” Kobe gave his old coach a hug.
Silver Fox Harris led the Chinese team for five years. From the team that failed to qualify for the Olympic group stage, it became the second in the world.
Although this time the Chinese team got a lot of convenience in drawing lots and penalties because of their home court advantage.
But in competitive sports, only the results are always seen.
This Chinese team broke the world’s harsh prejudice against China and demonstrated the spirit of the Chinese men’s basketball team on the Chinese Olympic stage!
And Harris also felt that it was time to retreat.
. . .
The contracts of Nash, Big Ben, Ginobili, Bowen, Yao Ming, Anthony and others have expired in 2008 and 2009.
Jimmy Buss intends to rebuild the team, ushering in unanimous opposition from Kobe and Magic.
These players deserve the best treatment, but the Lakers obviously have no way to sign them all.
In the end, the Lakers renewed Nash with a three-year maximum salary, giving this veteran who burned everything for the championship the largest contract.
A daughter buys bones. The players expressed their admiration for the Lakers’ willingness to renew Nash in the last few years of Kobe’s peak salary.
But the Lakers agreed that since the three champions of the running dynasty are inseparable from Nash’s low-cost contract and his dedication, then giving a pension contract at this time is what the Lakers, a humane team, should do.
The Lakers will never be Celtics, and the magician will never be Danny Angie.
37-year-old Bowen and 34-year-old Big Ben signed a basic salary contract with the Lakers, which greatly eased the pressure on the Lakers.
But the team still has no way to have five top salaries at the same time as Kobe, Nash, Yao Ming, Anthony, and Ginobili.
Ginobili agreed to a salary cut and renewal, but Anthony, who was in his prime, was obviously unwilling to accept it. He wanted to go to other teams to be the boss and fight his fateful enemy James.
The Lakers had to trade Anthony to the Thunder in exchange for the first-year pick Durant.
This was obviously a loss-making business in 2008.
Anthony can contribute 23+9 steadily when the Lakers are in the top four, and Durant, a rookie with unlimited firing rights at the Supersonics, is only 20+4+2, and his shooting percentage is less than 43%.
In another environment, Anthony must be a quasi-super giant, and even many people think that Anthony is already an offensive super giant. What he lacks is only a tactical tilt.
After all, every time he and James face up, James has become the strongest small forward super giant in the league.
And Durant is not even a star now, how long will it take him to help Kobe?
Could it be that Nash and Durant were consumed by Nash and Durant at the peak of his career?
