Reborn as Kobe - Chapter 153

On April 6, the Lakers greeted the Jazz at home. The Jazz have been very difficult in recent years. The main players are aging, and the selected rookies have not been able to play. The question before Sloan is whether to overthrow and rebuild. After all, no one is the Rockets of the 1998 season. Break up the Big Three.

In this game, both Kobe and O’Neal were suspended by old Nelson. Now that the Lakers have a far lead, old Nelson will naturally have reservations.

However, old Nelson’s approach has made David Stern angry. The grievances between the Lakers and Jazz in recent years have been more attractive to watch, especially this year the league has been hit hard, although Kobe has made up for a lot of image points. , But the decline in attractiveness is an indisputable fact.

The original history of the NBA was much worse than this. Because of Kobe’s intervention, the teams played a lot better, but there was no large-scale loss of audiences. But in the eyes of Mr. President, failure to make progress is to regress.

The Lakers did not make the OK combination, and the audience was naturally dissatisfied. The Lakers also lost to the Jazz 93-106 in this game.

The immature Nowitzki became a defensive black hole and was completely blown by Malone at both ends of the offense and defense. Malone scored 30 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists on the young German war body.

Immediately after the game, the old Nelson received a ticket from the league and fined him $20,000, but for a mad scientist, this is really nothing.

On April 7, the Lakers challenged the Kings away back to back. The OK combination came back in this game, but Kobe and O’Neal both played a game of soy sauce.

Ray Allen was convulsed in this game, shooting 15 of 22, including 8 of 14 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, 40 points and 3 rebounds. Kobe played only 28 minutes, but he scored 16 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists. This season, his data has been averaging a triple-double. O’Neal played 30 minutes, scored 24 points and 12 rebounds, and the Lakers scored in double figures.

The final result of the game was 104 to 89. The Lakers completed their revenge and avoided being swept by the Kings in the season.

The Lakers got a day of trimming, and for the next two consecutive home games, Kobe didn’t have to fly around.

The old Nelson once again gave the players a day off to relax. The regular season is about to end, and he has now begun to reserve for the playoffs.

Kobe fell asleep and touched his side, only to find that Charlize had already gotten up. Liu Xiaoli was taking Liu Yufei on the grass downstairs to practice the “gymnastics” that Kobe taught before. It is estimated that Charlize will be busy at ABC until late today, because Kobe gave her a plan for a “Go Talent Show” and she is now preparing to build a production team.

At noon, Kobe and Liu Xiaoli had lunch with Bill Gates and his wife.

Microsoft has recently fallen into a whirlpool of monopoly doors, and some internal contradictions have also emerged. Bill Gates urgently needs the support of major shareholders.

“Bill, I said before that although I am the third largest shareholder of Microsoft, as long as you do not retire, I will not intervene in the company’s decision-making, and I will definitely support your decision.”

After the meal, Bryant and Bill Gates walked in the woods of the villa, Bryant once again emphasized his position.

“At the beginning, Paul and I transferred the shares of the financing to you, but did not transfer to the evil wolves on Wall Street. It seems that we did the right thing.”

Bill Gates glanced at Kobe and said with satisfaction.

“But the guy Paul called me many times, hoping that I can go to the Blazers after the contract expires.”

Kobe shook his head and said with a smile.

“Sometimes I really don’t understand, is basketball so fun?”

Bill Gates is really speechless about Paul Allen and Kobe, and always feels that they are not doing their jobs.

“Everyone has everybody’s hobbies, just like I like basketball. Winning every victory is much more interesting than making billions of dollars.”

Kobe’s hypocritical words really make Gates unable to complain. Although he does not know the specific net worth of Kobe, Gates feels that his so-called richest man must not be able to avoid Kobe in his early twenties.

“I heard that this season, you put Paul’s Liverpool under your body again in Manchester United in the Premier League?” Bill Gates asked.

Since Kobe bought Manchester United, Paul Allen, who was unwilling to be lonely, subsequently bought Liverpool, hoping to beat Kobe outside the basketball court.

“I said long ago that competitive sports can’t be played with money. Of course, it’s impossible to have money.”

“You and Paul are so childish.”

Bill Gates is keen on charity and wants to pull Kobe and Paul Allen to do this meaningful thing with him. Although Kobe and Paul Allen also have charity funds, they prefer sports.

On the way back, Liu Xiaoli and Kobe talked about some Asian investment issues.

“Should we really put the planned semiconductor production base in Lingnan? Can’t it be done in Shanghai?”

“Shencheng, I am going to put the entertainment industry there. When the playoffs are over, I will visit Shanghai in person. I am going to build a Disney park there.”

Kobe has an idea that nobody told him. He plans to settle in China after retiring because he is really not optimistic about the future development of North America. It is too unfriendly to people of color.

“Where is the capital? You are not going to build a Disney park there. When I bought a courtyard house last time, the relevant leaders there asked this question.”

Hearing Liu Xiaoli’s inquiry, Kobe was really taken aback. Yeah, why didn’t he think of building another Disneyland in the capital? It seems that people’s directional thinking is really undesirable.

“Can the land be granted?”

The future generations of the capital are very expensive, so Kobe had to consider the cost.

“I guess there is no problem, as long as our conditions are reasonable.”

Liu Xiaoli said confidently.

“Well, I will go to the Far East with you during the holidays to settle things down.”

On April 9, the Lakers played against the Timberwolves at home. O’Neill easily blasted Garnett, this hard-hearted “hard-blooded guy”, it is estimated that he will eventually go to play brother basketball. But Kobe in this life is not the original Kobe, maybe this wolf king will be as sad as the superstars of Jordan’s contemporaries.

This game was also as expected before the game, the Lakers did not encounter strong resistance at all, and easily captured the Timberwolves 106 to 84.

In this game, Kobe played 30 minutes, easily scored 22 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists, and once again brushed a triple-double. O’Neal played 35 minutes, scored 25 points, 15 rebounds and 5 assists. He didn’t take many shots, but he was very efficient.

Garnett fought and retreated, scoring 16 points and 14 rebounds. The Timberwolves with the highest score in this game was Tom Hammond. In this game, he was full of touches, shooting 9 of 16 shots, 4 of 5 free throws, and scoring 22 points and 5 rebounds.

After the game, Garnett looked a little ugly. The reporter repeatedly mentioned Marbury who had left, which made Garnett almost run away.

A New York Times reporter asked Kobe: “Bryant, you still occupy the top position on the MVP rankings. What do you think?”

Kobe smiled and said: “The teammates are too humble this season, especially Shaquille. If it weren’t for him to be lazy, I would never have such a high ranking.”

“Do you think you can get the regular season MVP?”

“Everyone has a chance. Let’s look at this question at the end of the season!”
