Reborn as Kobe - Chapter 125

Bryant scored 52 points, 6 rebounds, 12 assists and 2 steals in the fourth game, making Jordan’s 48 points, 7 rebounds, 8 assists and 3 steals a quasi triple-double. In this game, although O’Neal left early due to foul problems, he still Efficiently scored 26 points, 17 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 blocks in 32 minutes. It can be said that the game can be deadlocked to the fourth quarter. O’Neal played a decisive role.

When arranging the podium, Zhang Liyi rushed to the front and went to interview Kobe himself.

Kobe recognized him at a glance. The two in his previous life could be regarded as unshakable enemies. At that time, the two fans were most talked about in the air scolding battle between the two. Both Kobe fans and iron fans participated in it.

Bryant smiled and took the initiative to shake hands, and said in fluent Mandarin: “Hello, Zhang, I am glad to meet you. I have watched your game video, and I have also learned some of your skills in the basket.”

Zhang Yangliang is undoubtedly a famous player in China’s basketball world. If he is put to the present, he will have a chance to occupy a place in the league. Unfortunately, he was born at a bad time.

Zhang Fangyi had made pre-plans before and knew that Kobe’s Chinese language attainments were very high and he was very friendly to China. He established many hope primary schools in remote areas of China.

He stretched the microphone in front of Kobe, smiled and asked, “Kobe, what do you think about this championship?”

Bryant replied: “It is a brand new experience for me to be able to defeat my idol, Michael Jordan, and I am very excited to be able to sweep the Bulls and win the championship. I actually didn’t expect it.”

Zhang Lifang said: “Many fans feel that your playing style has changed a lot after entering the finals. It can be said that it is a big turn of 180 degrees. Why do you want to change your style of play?”

Bryant smiled and said: “Before the first game of the finals, coach Nelson organized a meeting for all the players. Because the Bulls are stronger than us, he said that he wants to change tactics. I adjusted it according to his arrangements. Facts have proved that he is correct, he is a great coach.”

Kobe sincerely thanked the old Nelson, his arrival completely released the Lakers’ offense, although he often pursued the offense too much and ignored the defense.

Many coaches in the NBA, like superstars, can reinvent a team and become stars in certain systems.

For example, the later D’Antoni changed the way the Suns play and became Nash; Larry Brown changed the play of the Pistons and became Ben Wallace. The most famous is Cole, who led the Warriors to establish a dynasty, made Stephen Curry, and completely set off a frenzy of small ball tactics in the league.

Zhang Yangfang asked: “Will you come to China as a guest this summer? You must know that China has many fans of yours.”

“In July, I have a China Sneakers signature event organized by Adi. I will go to Shanghai, Beijing and other places to see it. China is a country I like very much.”

Zhang Yangfang asked: “What do you think is the main reason the Lakers won the championship?”

“Unity, selflessness, and hard work. The Lakers are the most united team in the league. We know how to distribute the ball reasonably. Everyone has sacrificed a lot for the whole. This season, we have worked hard and won the championship in the end. I am proud of it.”

Reporters from other media also interviewed Kobe, and the one who asked the most about the scandal between him and his daughter Ivanka.

Kobe never answered the news outside the stadium, and the reporters were so angry that they had to give up.

The Lakers players wear hats that symbolize the championship, and the staff built a simple podium in the middle of the court.

Kobe was elected as the MVP of the Finals without any suspense, breaking the single-game scoring record of the playoffs, and turning the tide at the last moment. His MVP is undisputed.

As a result, Kobe has also become the youngest Finals MVP in league history. He is one year younger than Elvin Johnson, who won the championship in 1980, and this record is estimated to be no one.

Kobe took over the MVP trophy from “Lord of the Rings” Bill Russell and gave a speech.

“I am very happy that this finals MVP is me. In fact, I think this honor does not belong to me alone. I will not get this trophy without the support of my teammates, especially Shaquille. He sacrificed a lot for the whole team without him. With hard work on both ends of the offense and defense, it is difficult for us to win the final victory.”

The Bulls fans still can’t believe the fact that they lost. In the stands, a few fans applauded Kobe.

Then, O’Neal took over the championship trophy from David Stern.

David Stern smiled and said: “You have opened a new era, and I wish you more success in the future.”

“Thank you, thank you Mr. David Stern.”

O’Neal was already a little bit overwhelmed with excitement. The teammates took the trophy one by one and began to kiss the trophy. Bryant took the trophy, but gave it to Jones next to him with two symbolic gestures. The trophy was full of saliva. Disgusting.

The Lakers didn’t wait much. After all, they were away. After the ceremony, all the staff took a special plane and returned to Los Angeles.

Lakers owner Old Buss funded a grand championship celebration parade in the City of Angels. In addition to local fans, there were tourists from other regions to join in the fun.

O’Neal and Kobe have undoubtedly become the protagonists of the parade. The fans chanted mvp and thanked the two for bringing back the championship after a ten-year absence.

After the parade, as usual, Zipperton met all the Lakers at the White House and enjoyed lunch together. Zipperton is particularly enthusiastic about Kobe, because after his scandal broke out, Kobe’s media group did not pursue it. After all, he does not look at the face of the monk. Although Zipperton is about to step down, he still has a huge influence Wife. Although Kobe never takes the initiative to participate in politics, but he can not avoid politics.

After the team disbanded, Old Barry, LOGO Man and Old Nelson approached Kobe to negotiate.

“Bryant, we should discuss the rules of the team next season together.” Jerry West paused: “Usually the team that wins the championship must ensure a stable lineup. You think we still need Where to add it?”

“I think the team should change blood next season. Many players are no longer suitable for the team.” Kobe gave an unexpected answer.

“Why?” Jerry West was surprised: “I didn’t expect you to have the same views as Coach Nelson.”

“After winning the championship, many teammates will lose their hard work, and Nick and Campbell will never meet their current status. Moreover, the Rockets are too strong. We will not change blood. We will definitely not be able to compete with them in the future.”

Kobe’s words made the other three people complain, the Rockets can have the current strength, it is not your ghost.

In fact, the real boss behind the Rockets is Kobe, everyone has tacitly understood that, after all, they are not affiliated with Kobe, and the league can’t handle it.

Old Buss asked: “Bryant, who do you want to trade?”

Old Buss doesn’t want Kobe to leave after the contract expires. Although Kobe has promised him many times before that the Lakers will always be the first choice, Kobe is too special to be bound by anything, so he only Can keep Kobe with emotion and never leave.

“Trade Ray Allen over so that I can concentrate on playing the first position. Barkley’s contract has expired. We have to sign him before other teams. And I checked the draft players this year. , Dirk Nowitzki, Rashard Lewis and Katino Mobley are worth training.” Kobe smiled.

Jerry West asked, “Who do you think can be traded away?”

Kobe thought for a while and suggested: “Except for Shaquille and Robert, you can do everything else. After all, I can only give some suggestions.”

“Let’s do it, try to bring these people back, I believe Bryant’s eyes.”

In the end, the old Bass made a decision.

Leaving the office, old Nelson said to Kobe: “Thank you, Bryant, let’s build a new dynasty!”

Old Nelson suggested that the Lakers bring Nowitzki into the team, but Jerry West raised an objection. After all, there are still a few European and American players playing in the league. Team managers don’t recognize their strength, and Jerry West hopes to make certain repairs on the basis of maintaining the original lineup, which is also the consistent approach of the defending champion.

“Coach, we need to strengthen our defense next season. In many cases, the offense often has uncertain factors and it is difficult to maintain high efficiency all the time.” Kobe suggested.

Old Nelson thoughtfully, finally nodded and said: “It seems we are going to hire a full-time defensive coach.”

Kobe didn’t know, his suggestion was ultimately a pitfall.
