Chapter 611 [Don’t Cry without Seeing the Coffin]

The next day, all sports media focused on the "Lakers internal strife". Some reported it very seriously, while others made fun of it.

Photos of Yang Rui and Kobe Bryant made headlines in the New York Times.

Yang Rui's is a classic photo in the Minion emoji package. That time he was stuffing potato chips into his mouth on the sidelines. Ariza made a low-level mistake on the court and hugged his opponent while grabbing a rebound. Then Yang Rui His expression looked like that of a koala eating leaves, and was captured by the cameraman...

The photo of Kobe Bryant with his death glare is so sharp.

In the past, Los Angeles fans watched the excitement of the Knicks, but this time New York fans were finally happy.

According to news analysis, it is impossible for a star of Kobe's level to be traded during the season. After this season, Yang Rui should leave. The Lakers will begin to rebuild. It will be difficult to keep Millsap and Odom. They will weaken next season.

Other media also believe that the Lakers will break up. The reason is that after Yang Rui criticized Kobe for being too independent, no Lakers player stood up to speak for Kobe. However, Millsap and Iguodala implicitly stood up and said that Kobe did not follow the tactics. beat.

Iguodala was previously reported by the media to be dissatisfied with the ball, but this time he did not avoid suspicion. Everyone believed that he was really dissatisfied.

Other teams were eager for them to break up, and the Lakers quickly traded Iguodala. With this swingman with a balanced offense and defense, the Lakers are too strong.

Many experts lamented Iguodala, saying that he has the ability to get 20+5+5 data, and even cited Pippen as an example. When he joined the Lakers, Iguodala expressed his willingness to be Pippen, but in which season with the Bulls did Pippen average less than 10 shots per game?

Nicholas of ESPN said: "I think if Kobe was replaced by a star, such as Wade, Ray Allen, and Pierce, the Lakers can still build a dynasty, but without Jerry Young, Kobe may not be able to lead the team past the first round. He may be able to Winning a few more scoring titles is all.”

Barkley said: "Jerry Young has already shown that this is his last season with the Lakers. How capable Kobe is, whether he is a superstar or a cancer, will be revealed in the future. I personally have a feeling that the Lakers are going to be finished."

On the Internet, most sane Komi began to worry about their idol. Because before Yang Rui joined the Lakers, Kobe could not even surpass Carter, Tracy McGrady, and Iverson, let alone Jordan. He only had one championship, and he was considered to have won it because of O'Neal's thigh. Now that Kobe has personal honors, is it enough to challenge Yang Rui?

Only a small part of Komi supports Kobe and continues to be arrogant.

"Without Kobe, Jerry Young would definitely not be able to do it. He would hug the stars. Most championships come from good luck."

"If it weren't for Kobe, the U.S. team would have won the bronze medal in the 2008 Olympics. Jerry, go away. Let anyone else coach the Lakers. With the current lineup, they can still win the championship."

"The coach is not happy because Kobe scores more points. What's wrong with him? Others are so bad. What does it have to do with Kobe if he can't win the game?"

Regarding these remarks, Yang Mi didn't bother to refute, because Yang Rui didn't care, he didn't discuss his self-deprecation, and netizens had nothing new to say against him. Yang Rui has the lowest limit in the basketball circle.

Jerry Buss, who has retired at home, read the news online and almost fainted from anger.

He calmed down for a while and yelled at his son Jim Buss: "Jerry and Kobe have conflicts, and the players also have opinions about Kobe. You've known about it for a long time, and you haven't thought about trying to reconcile it?"

Little Buss pursed his lips and looked innocent: "Dad, how do you reconcile this kind of thing? Kobe is the Lakers' player with the highest commercial value. He can attract fans only by producing good statistics. Could he really listen to Jerry and reduce his playing time? , and let him have mediocre statistics? Didn’t you say Jerry won’t renew his contract and will definitely leave?”

Old Bass was very disappointed with his son, and his liver ached with anger. "What I'm saying is, even if he wants to leave, we have to have a good relationship with him this season, you stupid ass. Now he is being interviewed and said that Kobe is alone. Do you think it will have a big impact on the Lakers? You say Kobe How much popularity do you have to lose?”

Buss Jr. had nothing to say. He was unqualified as a president, but Jenny Buss clearly saw the hidden dangers.

But does nothing.

The fact that things have developed to this point has a lot to do with the fact that the sons and daughters of the Buss family are not united. Jenny is waiting to see Jim's joke, dreaming of taking over the power of the Lakers in the future.

Old Bass scolded his son, and finally had to give him some advice. "Didn't Jerry say to give Kobe three chances? You try to persuade Kobe to apologize, listen to Jerry, ease their relationship, and at least play well this season."

Buss saw the point, but was Kobe so easily convinced? He lost face and now started to regard Yang Rui as his enemy. Asking a paranoid person to apologize to his enemy would be better than just stabbing him to death.

The most admirable thing about Kobe is his persistence and persistence.

It's a pity that when he did something wrong, he could persist and persist in not apologizing, even if he knew he was wrong.

His character is known in China as "never shed tears until you see the coffin, never look back until you hit the wall".

In Yang Rui's previous life, Kobe was still the same in his retirement season. Even if his shooting percentage was the lowest in the league, he still had to take the most shots for the team and let a group of potential newcomers follow him on tour.

The Phoenix star weekend has arrived, and David Stern was also caught off guard by the internal strife in the Lakers. The promotion plan was affected and difficult to carry out, which made him very angry.

The longest path the NBA has taken is Stern's routine.

This time, he decided that the protagonists of the weekend were Kobe and O'Neal, and he planned to let the "OK group" win the All-Star Game MVP together and stage a drama of letting go of grudges with a smile.

Praising Kobe is Stern's main purpose. He wants to create a glorious image in the league that is strong enough to rival Jordan, has a strong desire to win, and is broad-minded. O'Neal is just incidental.

After O'Neal moved to the Suns, his statistics this season were average and he was only selected as an All-Star as a substitute. In order to increase O'Neal's presence, Stern also specially prepared a program for him. When the All-Star Game appears, O'Neal will dance with a group of masked dancers. This is a treatment that the starters do not have.

In Yang Rui's previous life, Stern used this far-fetched method to make the two of them share the MVP.

Judging from the data, Kobe had 27 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 steals, and O'Neal had 17 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists. Even if they were to win the award together, Paul, who had 14 points, 7 rebounds, 14 assists and 3 steals, seemed to be more qualified.

Being ignored just because Paul didn't do it...

Stern is optimistic that the Lakers will win another championship this season. As long as they win, Kobe will be able to win the fifth championship in his career and be one step closer to Jordan. Kobe is only 31 years old this summer and should still be at his peak for a few more years. As long as he wins two more championships, his number of championship rings will surpass Jordan's.

This is the top priority in Stern's mind. Although Kobe is inferior to Jordan in terms of personal honor, statistics, and emotional intelligence, he can compete with Jordan in the All-NBA Team and the All-Defensive Team. Even if he doesn't admit his transcendence, he can still be as famous as him. Before Kobe retired, he was the guarantee of ratings and a golden brand of the NBA.

Unexpectedly, before the feud between Kobe and O'Neal was resolved, before he could reconcile with "Zen Master" Phil Jackson, and before his relationship with his parents had been restored, he would start fighting with Yang Rui again.

It was Yang Rui who helped the Lakers rise and become the most popular team in the NBA, and helped Kobe become the most popular star in active service. How does Kobe repay the other party? Once he gained honor, he no longer took Yang Rui seriously.

Stern now has no hope whatsoever for this guy's character.

Kobe, why don't you fly into the sky and stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun? The world is waiting for you to change.
