I'm really strong in basketball

Chapter 65 Who Is Scottie Pippen

At the end, 108:95, the Lakers defeated the Cavaliers and ended their three-game losing streak.

The overall record became 32 wins and 5 losses.

科比砍下38分8篮板5助攻2抢断1盖帽。

刘河砍下33分6篮板2助攻3抢断1盖帽。

The "Bullfighting" combination scored 71 points.

"Hand" scored 15 points, 6 rebounds, 11 assists and 2 steals.

"Matador" scored a total of 86 points!
The rest of the Lakers players contributed only 22 points in total.

For the Cavaliers:
Big Z scored 18 points, 10 rebounds and 2 blocks.

Boozer had 22 points, 14 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block.

詹姆斯也有15分5篮板4助攻2抢断2盖帽。

It looks pretty good too.

But after careful study, James only scored 4 points against the Lakers starting lineup, and the rest were won by traveling off-peak.

In addition, he made 15 of 5 shots, 5 of 0 three-pointers, 8 of 5 free throws, and his efficiency was extremely low.

In addition, he also sent as many as 7 turnovers.

At the end of the game, Liu He was about to "talk" to James again, but James' back had already blended into the player tunnel.

Liu He shook his head helplessly.

……

With this game, Kobe and Liu He reversed the media's perception of them.

"Kobe and Liu He teamed up to save the Lakers!"

"Modern Jordan! And his Pippen!"

"The next great 5, maybe 10 years for the Lakers."

……

In addition, Liu He's limelight also surpassed Anthony and James for a while.

"So it's clear at a glance who is the king of the 2003 class."

"Liu He is invincible!"

"Hehehe, Anthony still died in the battle to the last breath. James ran away directly. He didn't dare to play with Liu He head-on. He only dared to go up and bully the substitute."

"James can't afford to lose. After the game, he didn't hug his opponent and ran away."

"Eyes defensive, absolutely!"

……

Of course, there are still some fans who support James, and there are still a lot of them.

"It's too early to tell, it's just the first year of their careers."

"Currently, Liu He's immediate combat ability is indeed higher than that of James. However, James' talent is obviously higher, but his shortcomings are also obvious. As long as he can practice shooting, I still think James is much better than Liu He."

"Support LeBron James, he will always be king in Cleveland."

……

In the post-match press conference, Kobe and Liu He were naturally the focus.

When the reporter called Kobe "Contemporary Jordan", Kobe quickly said: "I don't want to be the next so-and-so, I just want to be the first Kobe."

But in fact, his mouth was crooked.

Who could stand such a compliment?
After all, that's Jordan!

Then the reporters questioned Liu He again.

"Liu He, you used... that kind of defense against James in this game and achieved very good results. Can you tell me what happened?"

Liu He nodded, and said indifferently: "There is nothing to say. Defense always depends on the team, not a certain person. So don't pay attention to me. I just happen to be in charge of defending James. You should Look at my teammates, they are also part of the team and have worked hard."

The reporter then asked again: "You and James played against each other twice, and you were the winning side, and your statistics were even better. Do you think you are stronger than James because of this?"

The problems started to become acute.

These uncrowned kings are starting to mess up!
Liu He shook his head: "You say that because you have never played against James. His talent is too explosive! Except for Shaq, James is the most talented guy I have ever seen. Even Kobe's talent, In front of James, he can't take advantage of it at all."

This is a very pertinent answer.

But it was not the answer the reporters wanted, so they were a little disappointed.

Liu He wasn't aggressive enough tonight!

Only Lucy, a beautiful FOX reporter in the crowd, didn't care. This is definitely not Liu He's final answer.

Sure enough, Liu He suddenly added another sentence: "Of course, if you ask me who is stronger? Of course it's me!"

The reporters were stunned for a moment, then their eyes lit up, and all kinds of long guns and short cannons flickered.

Phil shook his head helplessly.

As expected of you!
If you praise James so much, and then say that you are stronger than James, then you are falling from the sky, and you are falling!

But you can't say he's wrong.

He admitted that James is very strong!

And he defeated the powerful James, so he is naturally the stronger one.

In Liu He's heart, he could only answer this way, and he must answer this way.

If he himself feels that he is not as good as James, then why does the league finally award him the honor of the best rookie?

Therefore, Liu He will let everyone know from now on...he is stronger than James.

Whether it's statistics, record, head-to-head performance...

Liu He believes that David Stern still has some bottom line than "joke".

For the last question, the on-site hosts are sophisticated and chose Chinese journalists Yang Yi and Su Qun.

Yang Yi stood up and asked, "Liu He, some fans commented that you and Kobe are the contemporary Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen. What do you think of this?"

Kobe glanced at Liu He.

This question is so easy!

I have already answered it once, so you should be fine if you copy your homework.

Liu He also glanced at Kobe.

You mean... let me answer that I don't want to be the next so-and-so, but the first Liu He?
So hard to force Rambo Wan!

It's so earthy, I can't say it.

Liu He looked at Yang Yi and asked calmly, "Who is Scottie Pippen?"

The entire press conference was quiet!
At first glance, it seems that Liu He looked down on Pippen and asked who Pippen was.

But if you taste it carefully, you will find out what Liu He means... He and Kobe, who is Pippen?

As we all know, Jordan is the leader, and Pippen is Jordan's assistant.

Whoever is Pippen is the assistant!

The other person is naturally the leader!

So what Liu He actually asked was...he and Kobe, who is the leader?
In the habit of thinking, all reporters and media will naturally regard Kobe as Jordan.

After all, Kobe is called the closest person to Jordan.

Then Liu He is just an assistant.

However, Liu He did not agree.

Before everyone could react, Phil immediately pulled Kobe and Liu He away from the scene.

This press conference is over!

This press conference has reached its climax!

In the tunnel, Kobe and Liu He were chatting and laughing, and there was no intention of competing at all.

Kobe was indeed surprised by Liu He's words.But Kobe doesn't think Liu He can threaten his status, at least for now.

Phil breathed a sigh of relief.

But the outside world has turned upside down.

Tonight, it was rare for the reporters not to take the meaning out of context. They just wrote down every move at the press conference verbatim.

Such reports ignited the entire NBA.

The reaction from the outside world was still polarized.

Some people feel that Liu He is too arrogant, too arrogant, and too floating...

The other part thinks that young people are not frivolous, they just like Liu He's self-confidence.And Liu He's performance was really explosive.

Successively defeated the "generation of double pride" James and Anthony.

在奥尼尔受伤之后的5场比赛里，刘河场均砍下29分6篮板4.2助攻2.6抢断0.4盖帽。

科比是35.8分8.8篮板3.8助攻1.8抢断0.4盖帽。

Kobe's numbers are certainly better.

But if you consider that Kobe is already in the eighth year of his career and Liu He is only in his rookie season, then it is not an unacceptable gap.

Los Angeles.

Jerry Buss called Mitch Kupchak into his office late at night.

The two puffed on their cigars one after another, but said nothing.

It took a long time before someone spoke in the smoke.

"O'Neal is 32 years old, Kobe is 26 years old, Liu He is 20 years old... O'Neill is 6 years older than Kobe, and the two cannot coexist peacefully. Kobe is also 6 years older than Liu He, so is everything predestined?"
