Chapter 134 Conspiracy
"It's not a superhero, it's not that exaggerated!" Kobe waved his hand, "Many players have done it, and I did it before."
Li Yue nodded silently, knowing that there are indeed many players in the history of the NBA who played closed games.
It can be traced back to the 1970 Finals at the earliest, when the Knicks center Willis Reed chose to play closed games in the last game of the Finals, as well as Tracy McGrady in 08 and Curry in 13. These players will all go down in history .
And Kobe was in January 12. At that time, he suffered a severe wrist sprain. The team doctor Garivetti suggested surgery, but because the team's record was not ideal, he flatly refused and chose to play closed games for several consecutive games.
Yes, several in a row, not just one.
The most frightening thing is that under such circumstances, he scored 48 points against the Suns in the first game, and then challenged the Jazz back to back to score 40 points. He can be called a super tough guy. do it.
The possible consequences of breaking the blockade are very serious, ranging from aggravating injuries to shortening careers.
But with Kobe's character, Li Yue didn't intend to persuade him to withdraw his decision, and instead analyzed how to deal with the next situation.
"Does anyone else know?"
"It's only you at the moment," Kobe picked up the basketball and threw it on the spot. His posture has changed compared to before. From the slightly wrinkled expression on his face, it can be seen that the pain must also follow. Comforted.
"We have to inform the coaching staff and the medical team before they put you on the inactive list."
"That's natural, let me know right away." Kobe walked to the sidelines, put down his backpack, took out his cell phone, and started making calls.
Li Yue pondered for himself.
When the fifth game starts, the Heat will definitely target Kobe on the offensive end, and the player who can attack with the ball must be Wade.
The difficulty is relatively high, but Howard is fully capable of resisting it.
As for the offensive end of the Lakers, Kobe can be organized at the top of the arc, and Nash can run with him.
There are certainly not as many tactics as before, and the threat is certainly not as great as before, but it is better than losing Kobe directly.
Of course, the biggest bonus must be to inspire the whole team and suppress the Heat psychologically.
The analysis was over, just as Kobe was finishing his phone call.
"They objected to me playing closed games, but they were just against it." Kobe returned to the court, "Come on, pass the ball to me, don't deliberately lower your strength, I have to adapt to the rhythm of the game in advance."
Li Yue picked up the basketball and pushed it with both hands.
Kobe received the hand and shot from the spot.
In this way, the two began to practice passing and catching the ball.
After three o'clock in the afternoon, general manager Kupchak rushed to the training base sweating profusely.
He rushed into the court without greeting and said directly: "I understand your thoughts, but you don't need to be so anxious. We are ahead by 2 match points. We can look at the situation before making a decision. In case of G5, we will win. ?”
After Kupchak finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Li Yue, and silently hinted to Kobe: He once defeated the San Antonio Spurs alone without your profile. You should trust the young man and give him more chances.
Kobe shook his head again and again, "I can still walk and exert strength, which means I can still play, but if I don't play, I will definitely regret it for life. Don't persuade me."
Hearing this, Kupchak showed helplessness, and Li Yue gave a thumbs up.
Kobe is so ruthless, as long as he keeps his legs, he will play.
The three were silent for a while, Li Yue and Kobe continued to practice, and Kupchak said: "You are the representative player of the Lakers for the past 20 years. If you suffer serious injuries because of this, it will definitely make many people feel sad."
"The fans will definitely support me, because this is the Finals, which means a lot." Kobe shrugged. "Besides, we already have Li Yue. He is the core player of the next generation of the Lakers. I am willing to become the past tense."
Speaking of this, Kupchak no longer persuaded Kobe to give up his decision and leave the training base to prepare.
Not long after, D'Antoni arrived, did not persuade Kobe to give up his decision, and directly began to discuss tactical tendencies.
Li Yue put forward his own idea: Kobe will organize at the top of the arc, and others will move according to the situation.
D'Antoni decisively denied it, thinking that the bottom corners on both sides are the best choice, which can take Wade away and weaken the Heat's outside pressure to the greatest extent. Kobe will have little physical contact with other players, which can be described as the best of both worlds.
After the two finished talking, Kobe commented: The organization at the top of the arc is more aggressive. The advantage is that the Lakers can play some commonly used baseline ball tactics, while squatting at the bottom corner is more defensive. The advantage is that the whole team is familiar with it and does not need to practice deliberately.
In the end, Kobe supported D'Antoni's idea, and suggested that he should squat to defend the bottom corner, supplemented by the organization at the top of the arc, and the breakthrough should not be restricted.
With this decision, unless Kobe finally scores 40 points and the team wins, the FMVP will be handed over.
Li Yue figured out the joints, and expressed his gratitude in his heart no matter whether Kobe was intentional or unintentional.
Determine the tactical focus, D'Antoni left the base, Li Yue and Kobe continued training.
At seven o'clock in the afternoon, the two felt that the number of shots was enough, so they put away their equipment and went to eat.
The two drove to Malibu Beach to find out which restaurant had previously hosted the Miami ceremony.
During the dinner, Kobe emphasized that don't deliberately pass the ball to him, otherwise it is easy to cause many problems like deliberately taking care of Howard in the second game.
...
At ten o'clock in the evening, Li Yue returned to the apartment.
After taking a shower, I called Chen Xi, chatted casually, sat in front of the computer, and logged on to Twitter to browse the news.
The discussion about the impending doom of the Lakers is still a hot topic. Many extreme Heat fans have imagined the plot of the fifth game.
There are also some conspiracy theory enthusiasts who believe that when Kobe is injured and unable to play, the league must use "severe" penalties to help him win the FMVP and further develop the Chinese market to gain benefits. After all, the business alliance.
After treating these related discussions as jokes for a while, Li Yue was about to close the webpage, and it happened that the official Twitter of the Lakers was updated.
[Statement: We have noticed that since the early hours of the morning, there have been a lot of comments pointing out that Kobe Bryant will miss the next game. That is all fake news. Please don't continue to spread it. Kobe will still play. 】
After this tweet was updated, the number of comments increased exponentially, with a total of 500+ tweets appearing in about ten seconds, and the number of fast forwards exceeded 3000+ times, and many well-known commentators followed up.
Li Yue casually clicked on the details and laughed instantly.
[What's the situation, WOJ is also posting fake news now?Could it be that there are few people inside? 】
[Now that the Heat are over, let us start the discussion again, should the FMVP belong to Kobe or Li Yue? 】
[Los Angeles policemen, are you ready for the upcoming riots? 】
[I'm not in the mood to listen to you talking about shit like FMVP ownership, I just want to shout for the Lakers championship! 】
