Chapter 610 [Too Alone! Too Lonely! Too Lonely! 】

Kobe without honor is a star who can communicate with others, but Kobe with honor is like a stubborn donkey that will go backwards if he is not led away.

Refusing to cooperate allowed Kobe to fully obtain the joy of freedom: Even if you kill me, I will not leave; whether to leave or not is my freedom, I can do whatever I like.

What is the source of this awkward mentality? For what social and behavioral philosophy? How to get along with this kind of person? When he was with the Lakers, Phil Jackson actually consulted a psychiatrist for Kobe.

The doctor only said one important thing - Kobe never went to college!

College basketball and the NCAA are a place that requires teamwork, so Jordan was able to change roles that Kobe was not willing to do. ?

High school geniuses all start playing based on talent and are used to doing whatever they want. There was a video before where some of Kobe's Italian classmates said that he never liked passing the ball and preferred to work alone since he was a child. ?

Of course, there are no what-ifs in reality. Maybe Kobe will turn out to be a ghost after entering college. It is also possible that college inspired his rationality but took away his crazy resilience.

In February, the Lakers' locker room finally had a problem. Some media broke the news that Iguodala had privately complained that Kobe was too independent.

Iguodala just signed a long-term max-salary contract, but this season he only averaged 8.9 shots per game, scoring 12.2 points, 5.2 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.2 steals. It would be a damned thing if he didn't have any opinions at all.

In Yang Rui's previous life, Iguodala was the boss of the 76ers. Although he was not qualified as the boss and only reached the second round of the playoffs at most, he was recognized as an all-around fighter with peak statistics of 19.9 points and 5.4 rebounds. 4.8 assists and 2.1 steals. He was already 30 years old when he joined the Warriors. He had not been able to win a championship for many years, and he was willing to be a green leaf only after losing his spirit.

Now, Iguodala is in a completely different situation than in his previous life. He became famous at a young age, already holds three championship rings, was selected to the All-Star once, and won the slam dunk contest. Many people believe that his talent is not inferior to that of Kobe Bryant, or even slightly better. He is young now and wants to know where his limits are.

Although Lou Williams and Brooks did not express their dissatisfaction with Kobe, they both appeared with Kobe and were yelled at by Kobe several times. It doesn't matter how much Kobe shoots by himself. If the two young players don't pass the ball to him and choose to attack but miss the shot, they will have to accept Kobe's "death glare."

In fact, they are playing according to the coach's requirements. As long as there is a mismatch, their speed can give their opponents a headache inside. No matter how much Kobe glared, Yang Rui would praise the two defenders after the game, which also gave reporters an unusual smell.

The Lakers don't look as good as they did when they won three consecutive championships. They rarely beat their opponents in three quarters and often get anxious until the last minute. Kobe's scoring in the final quarter is among the best in the league. In the past few seasons, Kobe often played only half of the quarter or even not at all. Scoring more in the final quarter looks impressive, but actually beating the opponent early and raising the white flag is really strong.

Before the All-Star Game, the Lakers played the Jazz away from home and suffered a huge upset. The Lakers led by 21 points in the third quarter, but were reversed by the Jazz 113-111 in the final quarter.

Korver and Hinrich jointly hit 7 three-pointers in the final quarter. Bogut defended the penalty area and pulled out the pick-and-roll with Boozer to help his teammates create better shooting opportunities.

But an important reason for the Jazz's reversal was that Kobe made 2 of 13 shots in the final quarter of the game, hit 11 irons wildly, forced jump shots again and again, with a picturesque posture, turning 8 into 8 irons.

Kobe was aiming for 6 consecutive games with 40+ points, and finally he did it, shooting 15 of 38, 2 of 9 three-pointers, 8 of 9 free throws, and scored 40 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, and 4 steals.

Yao Ming, who scored 21 points, 19 rebounds and 1 assist, made 8 of 13 shots and 5 of 5 free throws, with a shooting percentage of 61.5%.

Odom made 7 of 13 shots, 2 of 4 free throws, 16 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists, shooting 53.8% from the field.

Iguodala made 4 of 6 shots, 1 of 2 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws. He scored 11 points, 2 rebounds, and 3 assists. He was the team's third player.

Unexpectedly, he only shot 6 balls in the whole game. In the final quarter, he was a pure blue-collar player and only took one shot.

The shooting percentage of these three people is much higher than that of Kobe, and together they don't take more shots than Kobe.

What's even more irritating is that there will definitely be a group of people on the game website who jump out and say that these people with high shooting percentages don't support Kobe enough.

Why does Kobe play so much iron?

Comey: Because he always attracts two or three double-teams.

So why doesn't he pass the ball?

Comey: Who do you think Kobe Bryant can pass to? If he doesn't make the shot, others won't be able to make the shot!

This season, there are endless examples of such decisive and confident people telling lies on the Internet. Yang Rui, who originally wanted to play soy sauce in the regular season, can't help it. He feels unworthy of the Lakers' outstanding role players. , hard work does not get the praise and reward it deserves, and it can only take the blame.

In this case, he had no choice but to open the bottle cap and pour soy sauce on Kobe's face to make the black man look darker.

After the game, reporters interviewed Yang Rui and asked him to evaluate the game and explain the reasons for the defeat.

Yang Rui said unceremoniously: "There is only one reason for the defeat. Kobe is too independent! Too independent! Too independent! That's right, I have to say important things three times, otherwise I'm afraid you won't remember them."

The reporters were stunned. It is not common for a head coach to criticize his team's star like this.

Yang Rui continued: "The Lakers' offense is not smooth this year because Kobe doesn't play according to the tactics at all. He puts competing for the scoring title more important than the team winning. I know it's not good to say this. Tomorrow the news will definitely talk about the Lakers' internal strife. , but that’s the fact. The Lakers’ lineup has the depth to hit the record again, and Kobe ruined it all.”

The reporter asked: "What will you do next?"

Yang Rui smiled and said: "I will try my best to lead the team to win the championship even if someone is holding me back, because I can't ignore the efforts of other players in the team. Although they can't shoot a few balls in a game, the defender will be beaten if he doesn't pass to Kobe." They were yelled at, glared at, and threatened, but they still worked hard to play well, which allowed us to always overwhelm our opponents in the second quarter."

A Komit reporter was dissatisfied. "Kobe has won two regular season MVPs and two Finals MVPs. Doesn't that still prove his ability? From what you're saying, are the Lakers better off without Kobe?"

"The obedient Kobe is an MVP-level player. I have praised him a lot before, but the disobedient Kobe is a cancer. Unity and selflessness are the reasons why the Lakers established a dynasty, and it is not the credit of Kobe alone. I know some idiots on the Internet say that The Lakers are strong because Kobe is the best player in the league, and even when I won the best coach award, it was because of Kobe's support. I sincerely suggest that they see a psychologist. If you talk nonsense often, you will have no friends."

The reporter immediately interviewed Kobe and asked him what he thought of Yang Rui's words.

Kobe was stunned. He didn't expect that Yang Rui would actually fire at him at the press conference. At that time, "Zen Master" Jackson could only implicitly say, "Someone on the team is too lonely" without naming him.

Even if Jackson later said that Kobe was uncoachable, he said so in a book after leaving the Lakers. The two had a tacit understanding when they were coaching in the Lakers and would give each other a way out. Yang Rui is different. This is a reckless act of betrayal.

Kobe is a stubborn person, and of course he does not admit his mistakes easily. He said stubbornly: "I don't think there is anything wrong with my playing style. The fact that the Lakers won three consecutive championships is proof. I don't need to explain anything. This season, my goal is also to win the championship." , when it’s time to pass the ball, I will naturally pass it.”

Kobe's words were ambiguous, as if he played the same way during the three consecutive championships as he did this season, but as long as Yang Rui talks about being independent, his image will definitely be damaged, and explanations are useless.

As soon as the news came out, online fans went crazy.
