NBA: I just want to play soy sauce, you let me win the championship

Chapter 252: Which one is stronger than Lupus?
After the Lakers were in position, Lu Yuanzhi clapped his hands in front of Kobe, "Yeah, how could I forget!"

Of course Kobe knew that Lu Yuanzhi would not say anything nice on the court and did not want to pay attention to Lu Yuanzhi at all, but there was no way, the two were facing each other, and even if Kobe tried hard to move, Lu Yuanzhi was always following him.

Seeing that Kobe was not fooled, Lu Yuanzhi also started to say, "Shaq has won the scoring title twice, and you have never won it once!"

"Shaq has been MVP once, but you haven't been once!"

"Shaq has two Finals MVPs, but you haven't won one!"

"Hey, Kobe, what honor do you have? Why can't I remember it?"

This suddenly hit Kobe's Achilles' heel.

Kobe's goal has always been to chase Jordan and become the greatest player in the league. However, it has been 96 years since he entered the league in the 97-6 season, and Kobe has not had a single personal honor that he can achieve.

Not to mention compared with Jordan, even compared with O'Neal on the same team, he looks too bad!

Kobe turned around in his mind and realized that the only personal honor he could win was last season's All-Star Game MVP.

AMVP?

Is this considered an honor?
Glenn Lesbian, a rookie, also won the AMVP, so Kobe had no nerve to mention it.

Why did Lu Yuanzhi talk trash for so long and Kobe could never reply? It's because Lu Yuanzhi really got everything he said.

Jordan, whom Kobe wanted to chase, won 10 scoring titles, 3 steals titles, and 5 regular season MVPs in his career.

What makes Kobe even more defensive is that Jordan won 6 championships and 6 FMVPs.

And Kobe won 2 championships, and both FMVPs were O'Neal.

If Kobe knew what Barkley said 20 years later, he would definitely comment that O'Neal was the bus driver and he was just the damn passenger!
Well, others may not comment like this and think that the "OK combination" led the team to victory, but for the paranoid Kobe, it was O'Neal who led him to win the championship, and he himself was just a supporting role!

This character is the opposite of that of Tan Huang.

When he comes to any team, he will regard himself as the leader of the team, occupy other people's houses, and take all the credit for himself.

But what's interesting is that Wade now has a tendency to change his tune, showing that the Heat are still his team, and the other two giants are here to embrace him.

After all, at that time, among the three, only Wade had won the championship, and only Wade had won the FMVP.

Back on the court, Lu Yuanzhi saw that Kobe was almost sprayed by him, so he stopped irritating Kobe.

It’s too late.

Lu Yuanzhi was afraid that his trash talk would go too far and arouse Kobe's suspicion.

After all, my personality has always been that of a ruthless person who doesn't talk much.

Occasionally spraying a few words can be regarded as a continuation of the duel.

If the whole game is full of trolls, then with Kobe's IQ, there may not be doubts.

After Lu Yuanzhi shut up, Kobe became even more exclusive.

Where did the earliest Kehei come from?

Isn't it just that from 01 to 04, Kobe didn't even care about the giant beast O'Neal inside, and still wanted to play singles willfully?

In the second half of the third quarter, Kobe's physical strength was obviously having problems, but his shooting became more accurate.

Kobe seemed to be immersed in his own world, and no external sounds could disturb him. However, his body was extremely tired and triggered muscle instinct.Yes, the current Kobe may not be able to jump as high as he did in the opening game, but this kind of fatigue is what Kobe has experienced thousands of times in training, and it is also the state that his body is most familiar with.

No need to adjust, now is the moment when Kobe is in the best shooting condition.

Lu Yuanzhi was replaced as early as the first half of the third quarter. He beat Kobe "8:0" and Lu Yuanzhi ran away long ago.

Hey, it's really exciting to run after pretending to be aggressive!

Kobe seems to have reached the state he was in after 05, carrying the team forward alone, constantly beating Christie in isolation, and helping the team chase points.

The score did catch up, but O'Neal quit!

You carry the team forward, so where do you put me, O'Neal?
I, O'Neal, am the boss of this team!

The boss hasn't fallen down yet, so it's not your turn as the second boss to speak.

Billups and Battier exchanged glances. They are two guys with high IQs and high IQs. Regardless of the situation of their two bosses, whoever raises his hand first to get the ball will get it first. To whomever, I don’t dare to get involved.

Lu Yuanzhi was sitting in the audience, but he became very interested in Billups.

Because this Billups is not even a little bit worse than the Pistons Billups in his impression.

It's not that there is any difference in technique, it's entirely in terms of control of the court, and it doesn't reflect the role of a commander at all.

联想到比卢普斯在活塞能拿到25%的球权使用率，能打出16.9分5.7板的表现，而在森林狼两个赛季平均则是20%左右的球权使用率，只能拿到10分出头4次左右的助攻。

So, Billups is a player who really needs the ball?

Indeed, in the Pistons, Billups is the core organizer, and everyone has to focus on his distribution and deployment.

In this Lakers team, Billups obviously cannot get such a high ball usage rate, and the team's status is far behind O'Neal and Kobe.

So, is there a possibility that Billups, who has lost his command, may still be much better than Fisher, but it is impossible to reach the heights he had with the Pistons?

Perhaps Billups in this timeline will be like what he showed in the Nuggets and Timberwolves, not good at organization, but good at outside shooting?
However, has Billups been strengthened or weakened in the Lakers' system?
If Billups can still average 5.2 three-pointers per game and hit 43.3% of his three-pointers, even if he is no longer organized, he will still be extremely dangerous to other teams.

Which one is stronger than Lupus?
The story of the first half continued on the court. The Kings' main lineup lost, and then the rotation lineup came up to beat the Lakers' rotation lineup. Then the Lakers' main lineup returned and worked hard to chase points.

The haze that had been shrouding Lu Yuanzhi's heart gradually dissipated.

Yes, the Lakers' new F4 lineup is very strong, and the Kings' main lineup is at a complete disadvantage in the confrontation with them.

But the Lakers still have the same old problem, the rotation lineup is not strong enough, and after the Kings strengthened, the rotation lineup is stronger than last season, and the Lakers rotation lineup was unable to fight back.

As for the playoffs, if the Lakers force the main force to fight the Kings, how should the Kings respond?
Why do you care so much!

This is an issue that the coaching staff should worry about. It has nothing to do with me, Lu Yuanzhi.

In the end, in this much-anticipated Christmas game, the Kings defeated the powerful Lakers 105:99 away from home with the outstanding performance of their substitute players and took away a victory from Staples!
9 Kings players scored in double figures!
As for the Lakers, O'Neal, who was double-teamed throughout the game, still scored 18 points and 12 rebounds. Kobe also scored 22 points, but he took 37 shots and his shooting rate was a pitiful less than 25%.

The Lakers' best performer was Billups, who made 16 of 9 shots, including 8 of 5 three-pointers, and all 5 free throws, scoring a team-high 28 points.

While Battier defended Stojakovic and Turkoglu, he also provided firepower support to the Lakers from beyond the three-point line, scoring 14 points.

This time, Lu Yuanzhi, who had finished the game, did not leave the court early. Instead, he stood up from the bench and took Hathaway, who had been chatting for almost the whole game, to find Nicholson sitting in the front row.

Lu Yuanzhi's unexpected move quickly attracted the attention of reporters on the scene.
