Reborn as Kobe

Chapter 39: Initially contradictory

   On February 25th, the Lakers challenged the Houston Rockets away. The hidden danger of losing inside O'Neal broke out in this game.

In this game, Campbell was defended by Olajuwon and only scored 19 points and 9 rebounds. You must know that Olajuwon is no longer as courageous as before and is gradually declining, but it is such a competitive state. The declining veteran made Campbell at his peak suffer.

   Kobe was also a bit miserable by Sir Barkley in this game. When the tonnage was not dominant, Kobe couldn't prevent this flying pig. In the end, the Lakers lost 96:100 and lost the seventh game of the season. Kobe scored only 15 points and 11 assists in this game, which fully shows that his current body will suffer a lot from strong insiders.

   On February 27, the Lakers who returned home defeated the Washington Bullets 122:107. In this game, Kobe returned to the number one position, and the Lakers also played tactics. In this game, Kobe finally got to know the versatility of Pinnacle Webber on the court. It is a pity that the wayward Weber has parted ways with his mentor Nelson. Maybe he can listen to some old Nelson's opinions, and later generations will not be ruined by injuries. Without a crown.

   In this game, Kobe scored 22 points and 24 assists. The Lakers scored in double figures with the six Lakers under Kobe. Webber scored 24 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks in this game, which interpreted the ultimate definition of an all-round power forward.

   On February 28th, the Lakers lost back-to-back to the Eagles 75:86 and lost their eighth season. In addition to the back-to-back game, the Lakers affected their physical strength and state, as well as an inside problem. Campbell's game called Uncle Mu's defense only scored 9 points and 7 rebounds. Kobe also lost the game, only scored 17 points and 10 assists, and had a super hot pot of Uncle Mu during a layup.

   In this game, the mystery of age Mutombo scored 27 points, 14 rebounds and 4 blocks.

   On March 2, the Lakers lost to the Indiana Pacers in an 85:101 away game. They lost the ninth game of the season and also suffered their first consecutive loss.

   In this game, Kobe and Reggie Miller had a mutual explosion. Kobe had the upper hand, but the Lakers still lost on the inside. Kobe knew that the Lakers lacked a strong point inside, and wanted to speed up the game. Unfortunately, the experienced bird Larry Bird was fighting the Lakers and killing the Lakers.

   In this game, Kobe scored 23 points and 11 assists. Unfortunately, the Lakers only scored in double figures. As for the Pacers, the star Reggie Miller scored a game-high 27 points, in addition to 3 rebounds and 3 assists. In this game, Miller showed Kobe what is the strongest off-the-ball running position in the league, allowing Kobe to recognize this old hooligan.

   In this game, Miller learned his lesson. It would be very unwise to fight against Kobe Kobe.

   On March 4th, the Lakers defeated the Dallas Mavericks 102:92 and stopped the losing streak. In this game, Kobe scored 37 points and 10 assists. Under his leadership, the Lakers completely ran the Mavericks.

   On March 7, the Lakers lost to the Rockets again 90:111 at home, and lost their tenth season. Although Barkley missed the game due to injury, the Rockets still defeated the Lakers by inside advantage. Kobe scored 18 points and 12 assists in this game. He really tried his best. Unfortunately, he has nothing to do with his bad state. In fact, there is another point that Harris is very unwilling to see running and bombing tactics, thinking that it is a deviant, Kobe does not want to fight with the old man, so he can only follow the coach's wishes and play more "reasonable".

   On March 9, the Lakers beat the visiting Nets 115:105 at home. Kobe scored 20 points and 13 assists, and now he has been fixed by Harris as a forward position, which makes Kobe very uncomfortable. He really does not want to be a functional player.

   Kobe is not like the original, he will not be so headstrong, he hopes to stay until O'Neill pays.

   On March 12, the Lakers defeated the Warriors with a 109:101 home game. Kobe scored 22 points and 16 assists in this game. Under his leadership, the Lakers simplified version of Princeton played very smoothly. This also made Warriors head coach Rick Adelman watch Kobe's eyes shine, but he didn't know. Kobe has been unable to complain.

   There were O'Neal and Kobe before, and Harris did not impose his will on the Lakers. Now O'Neal has been out for a long time due to injury, and Kobe is better to talk, so he has become more conservative in tactics and has become more and more aggressive. He didn't see it at all. Now Kobe has rarely talked and laughed with his teammates in private, and he has become colder on the court and lost his former passion.

   On March 14, the Lakers were beaten by the Clippers in the same city at 95:97 and lost the 11th game of the season. As soon as the game ended, Kobe left the arena, and then directly asked Jerry West to leave and drove home.

   After washing, Kobe sat alone in the study, looking at the lights and feasts of the City of Angels outside the window, feeling infinitely lonely.

   Kobe laughed at himself. It turned out that he felt that there would be a lot of differences after rebirth. At least he felt that he was much higher than others. Today he discovered that he was just a common man, not much better than others.

   The next morning, Jerry West and Old Buss personally came to the door, which made Kobe somewhat flattered.

   The servant brought hot coffee and closed the wooden door of the study for Kobe. Liu Xiaoli has gone to work, and she is now more and more familiar with Disney's workflow. Liu Yufei also started campus life last week, and her ordinary conversations in English are no longer a problem.

   "Bryant, is there any problem with your body? Do you need to go to the hospital for an examination?" Old Buss asked concerned.

   Kobe said moved: "Boss, I have no problem, I just feel a little tired."

   "Are you dissatisfied with Del's tactics?" Jerry West asked.

Kobe explained: "How do you say, Harris is a good man, but he is not a good coach. Before Shaquille was injured, Harris was able to listen to our opinions and gave me tactical freedom~www .readwn.com~ But in the last few games, he has become more and more self-centered and very stubborn. I can’t adapt to the current tactics, nor will I compete with the coach. I can only take time off and calm down for a while. If you don’t think so If it is appropriate, the salary will be deducted as much as possible. I have no opinion."

   Old Buss quickly waved his hand and said: "It's not necessary, you and I are not bad for the money."

   Jerry West thought for a while, and explained: "Dell has a good record. We can't just fire him. It's not good for you. Let's talk to him in the afternoon."

Kobe hurriedly stopped and said: "Don't, for a veteran coach like Harris, they already have their own mindset and there is no way to change it. Just tell Coach Harris that I have been sick recently and cannot play again. . I will come back after Shaquille’s injury. Let’s take a look at the team’s playoffs this season. If it’s not ideal, I can change the head coach."

   Old Buss and Jerry West glanced at each other, nodded in agreement, and also applauded Kobe's high emotional intelligence.

   Actually, Kobe didn't think about the complexity at all. He just didn't want to bother himself with some unchangeable things. To put it bluntly, he wanted to cherish the feathers and didn't want his career to be stained, so he didn't bother with Harris.

  Of course, Kobe has the right to discuss coaching issues with management. After all, his strength and reputation are there. The Lakers can't give up on him, and he never thought about leaving the Lakers.

After all, the NBA is a business league, and even a famous coach is often inferior to the status of a star. So we look through the history of the league and find that after the clash between the stars and the coach, the coach is often fired. For example, the old Sloan of the later Jazz was dismissed by Deron After being targeted, he could only leave sadly.
