Four Hundred and Twenty: This Is Memphis

Genius remember the address of this site in one second: [Er Yuetian Novel Network] The fastest update! No ads!

On November 20, the Lakers defeated the Nets with 5 points. A day later, on November 21, the Lakers took down the Sacramento Kings.

Because of the upcoming match against the Lakers, Link has watched both games. The more he watched, the more worried Link became about the No. 23 match.

Because Kobe is in really good shape!

Playing the Nets can only be regarded as a small test. And against the King, Kobe Bryant really started to explode.

When Howard and Gasol scored only 8 and 7 points in the game, Kobe Bryant scored 38 points in a single game, including 3 of 3 three-pointers in the fourth quarter and 16 points, helping the Lakers Abruptly turned the game over.

Originally, the Kings had the advantage throughout the game, and now they have only 2 wins and 8 losses, and they seem to be going to eat crabs on the Lakers.

As everyone knows, "Black Mamba" showed his fangs at the last moment. It is hard to believe that this is something done by a 34-year-old veteran.

At this time, look back at the members of the 96 golden generation. Who can carry the team forward like him?

AI has long since disappeared, and Stephen Marbury has become a CBA legend. Ray Allen is a role player for the Heat, averaging less than 10 points per game. Nash was troubled by injuries after playing a few games with the Lakers. Anthony Walker, Stojakovic, Jermaine O'Neal and others have long since become history.

Only Kobe is left, still fighting on the front line, still crawling hard with the downcast Lakers like five or six years ago.

At the end of the game, the fans are still cheering, the Lakers have won four straight! But what about Kobe? His face was dignified, and he couldn't really smile. Only he knows how difficult it is to win this kind of competition.

But will Kobe give up? Certainly not. He will continue to go on paranoid, even if only with his own strength. If he gave up, he wouldn't be called Kobe Bryant.

After the interview, Kobe walked back to the player tunnel alone. This may be the toughest season Kobe has had since Pau Gasol joined the Lakers.

Kobe Bryant has been able to put up such crazy performances in previous seasons, but it was mostly not forced. Even if he doesn't play so hard, the Lakers can win.

But now, the situation is completely different. Kobe must fight like this every game in order to meet the expectations of the outside world for the Lakers and to meet his own expectations of himself!

When Jordan's last All-Star game, the young Kobe Bryant tried to challenge the status of "God". That All-Star Game was the most serious one ever, Kobe and Jordan even spat out trash talk during the All-Star Game.

At that time, Jordan's words kept Kobe in mind and echoed in his mind from time to time, "I have 6 championships, and you only have 3."

There are no dirty words in this sentence, but it deeply touched Kobe's heart. For Kobe, this may be the most humiliating trash talk he's ever heard.

So for so many years, he has worked extremely hard, almost brutally spurning himself. So that one day when people mention Kobe, they'll say, "He's got six championship rings like Jordan. This guy, maybe no worse than Jordan."

Now, he has won two more championships after leaving the "Sharks". He holds five rings, and once he takes it again, he can smile at the "god" and say to him, "I have six rings now."

Once, just need to do it again!

Therefore, Kobe is reluctant to give up. Even if the Lakers become like this now, even if he is 34 years old, he is still persevering and moving towards his dream.

Link turned off the TV after watching Kobe's interview.

The Lakers' tactics have nothing to say, it's a complete mess. Howard and Gasol did not score in double figures. Is it because they are not capable enough? Just kidding, one is the league's top center after Shaquille O'Neal and Yao Ming, and the other is the league's top five power forwards. Their abilities are no problem.

The problem lies in the tactics and system. D'Antoni advocates the 7-second offense. He needs a point guard who can attack, pass and run as the core, such as young Nash, such as Jeremy Lin last season. But if you throw him two big guys and a super single, he doesn't necessarily use it well.

So, there's nothing special about the Lakers' tactics. The only thing you need to pay attention to is the 24th.

Just then, Link's phone rang. It's not the cell phone of the private number, which means that the person who texted was not Rachel.

Link took out his phone and saw that it was Kobe! Did that guy text himself as soon as he got back to the locker room?

"I know, you beat James, Durant and Anthony recently. You're great, and I know you're going to be great. But make no mistake, you can't beat me!"

Link smiled, this is Kobe's style of doing things.

Link respects Kobe, and he also admires Kobe's spirit. But just like Kobe did to Jordan at the beginning, Link also won't be soft on the aging Kobe!

The Los Angeles Lakers, even with a poor record, are definitely one of the most compelling teams in the entire league.

In terms of strength and honor, the Lakers dare not say the first. But in terms of commercial value, no team can compare with the Lakers.

Therefore, as long as there is a game involving the Lakers, it will attract the attention of fans all over the world.

So during the media opening time on the afternoon of the 22nd, the training ground of the FedEx Arena was full.

Reporters from all over the world flocked to Memphis, and the Lakers, who had just won four straight, met the Grizzlies, the No. 1 player in the West, and this game was naturally eye-catching.

"Link, will you feel the pressure when facing the Lakers who have just won four consecutive victories!?"

"If the game enters a critical moment again, who do you think can kill the game between you and Kobe!?"

"Kobe tends to break out in the fourth quarter and win in one fell swoop. Do you think you can contain Kobe in the fourth quarter?"

Link was a little overwhelmed. Although the reporter was here to interview him, every question was related to the Lakers and Kobe...

This gives Link a kind of...how to say? A feeling of being ignored.

Have you figured out whose home this is? Can't figure out who is the No. 1 in the West?

Either the Lakers or Kobe, then you go to interview them, go to the Grizzlies training ground for what.

"There is no pressure, it can kill the game, and it can contain Kobe." Link replied sullenly, without thinking much about the consequences.

The reporters opened their mouths one by one, Link is so crazy now! ?

"By the way, I forgot to say, this is Memphis, FedEx Arena, and my home court! We haven't lost at home since the playoffs last season! So, you should ask Kobe Bryant. And the Lakers, will you feel the pressure against the undefeated Grizzlies at home? I've finished answering, you can go and tell."

Link turned around angrily and left, leaving behind only the reporters with their bewildered faces.

If Kobe knew that these reporters had inspired Link's hidden desire to win, he would definitely be half-hearted.

Two disobedient and extremely paranoid guys are bound to make a big bang in Memphis.
