Chapter 216: Phil's Preparation

The lights of the Great Western Forum suddenly fell into darkness, and then the familiar dynamic melody came to mind.

The deep voice of the Lakers DJ has a different charm.

The fans are looking forward to it, the players who are about to walk out of the player tunnel.

A light hit the player tunnel, and a figure jogged out from it.

Not Kobe!

"The first player to play is Temple University, No. 6 jersey, a six-foot-seven-inch swingman-Eddie Jones!" Eddie Jones' appearance was greeted with cheers, and the fans here watched Jones grow up.

"Next up, Cal State, rookie No. 12, six-foot-seven forward Bruce Bowen."

"Next up, Virginia Union University, Big Ben, six-foot-nine insider—Ben Wallace."

"Let's welcome Clemson, 6'11 big man, No. 41 -- Eldon Campbell!"

The four Lakers players trotted into the arena one by one, and high-fived the substitute players who were already waiting on the court.

They turned their heads and waited for the king of Los Angeles to come to this arena.

"The finale was 6'6 guard from Lower Merion High, No. 8 pick, Peter Pan -- Kobeeeee Bryant!!!"

Landslide and tsunami at the Great Western Forum.

This wasn't Bryant's first game finale, and it won't be the last.

Finale appearance is the honor of the boss of the team. There is no doubt that Kobe is now the leader of the Lakers.

Showing his iconic smile and facing the cheers of thousands of fans, Kobe trotted into the arena.

Gather all the Lakers players into a circle—everyone puts their hands on the shoulders of their teammates and looks down together.

Surrounded by small fish in the middle, he was roaring loudly.

"WHAT TIME IS IT?"

"IT'S TIME GET GOLD!"

With enthusiasm and high morale, all the players of the Lakers are ready for the next game.

"The morale of the Lakers players is very good." The magician was a guest on the commentary stand, looking at the bouncing Lakers players, he couldn't help feeling envious.

"Young people are really energetic, unlike us old guys." James Worthy was also invited to participate in the commentary. As two people who once competed with Jordan, their commentary was more convincing.

"The bulls are out."

"Did I hear you right? The Great Western Forum unexpectedly burst into cheers after the Bulls played?" Worthy's face was full of disbelief, and the fans of the Great Western Forum cheered for each other, which has never happened in his many years of career. happened.

"Unimaginable influence, the Bulls, Jordan, their influence now surpasses any basketball superstar or team in the past. Our SHOWTIME influence is far less than that." Newcomers replace old ones.

"It's hard to imagine that in Los Angeles, there will be fans cheering for the Bulls. They just took the championship from us a few years ago! Can you imagine us walking to Boston and they cheering for us?"

The magician thinks that scene is very scary when he thinks about it. Boston fans cheering for the Lakers? A playboy like Chuanchuan could be elected President of the United States!

In the box, Dr. Buss and Jerry West also came to the scene in person to watch this peak duel. There are red wine and cigars in the luxurious box, and the two helmsmen of the Lakers are having a long talk.

"The Lakers will probably lose." Old Buss crossed his hands and sat on the sofa.

"At least I don't see the Lakers having a way to win. Unless the Bulls have a problem."

"It doesn't matter, Shaq will be back before the playoffs, the finals, that's what we need to focus on."

"That's right, a regular-season victory? No. 1 in the league's regular season? Can't compare to the chance of a championship."

"I don't like to watch games that must be lost, but I want to see whether Kobe can become a miracle. His performance determines the upper limit of the team."

The starting players from both sides came to the field, waiting for the start of the game.

"Little brother, come on!" Kobe's eldest brother, Jack Nelson, was wearing Kobe's No. 8 purple and gold jersey, carrying a large bucket of popcorn, and a supermodel was sitting on the left to cheer for Kobe.

Kobe made an OK sign when he saw a flash of red.

? ? ?

Someone actually sat on the sidelines wearing Jordan's No. 23 jersey?

A handsome young man with a parted head and picturesque eyebrows was sucking a Coke vigorously.

Leonardo DiCaprio?

Oh, you deserve to be fat.

Leonardo looked at Kobe staring at him and smiled shyly. The girl he dated recently liked Jordan and forced him to wear this jersey to watch the game.

During his appearance, he was stared at by many Lakers fans with strange eyes for a long time, and he suspected that he would be killed as a heretic.

"Little fat man, next time you come to a Lakers game, don't wear Jordan's jersey!" Jack Nelson also saw Leonardo DiCaprio. He took the lead in educating this junior.

"Little Fatty? Who? Me?" Leonardo looked at Nelson's stomach in astonishment, and then at his own.

"Well, you are an idol, you have the final say." Leonardo smiled helplessly. Nelson is really his idol, and many of his behaviors are consciously imitating Nelson.

"Kobe." Jordan approached Kobe with a confident smile.

"Michael." Kobe responded with a fighting look.

"Congratulations on being selected as an All-Star. You have been playing very well recently. But why are your skills so similar to mine?" Jordan asked this question that had been hidden in his heart for a long time.

"You taught me."

Three question marks appeared on Jordan's head, why don't I remember that I taught you, did you learn it by watching a video, that's really amazing.

"If you have any questions, you can come to me on the court."

"Kobe, I admire you very much. If there is a player who can surpass me, I think that person can only be you."

"Your future is extremely bright, but now, you are destined to become my defeat."

The mentality of Jordan in the previous life when he said these words is completely different from that of him now.

In the last life, I really wanted to help Kobe grow up, and treated Kobe as a little brother to support him.

And now Jordan just wants to use these words to hit Kobe's mentality. Jordan has put Kobe in the position of a competitor, not a worthy junior.

For competitors, Jordan has always been omnipotent. Off the field to teach you techniques? Don't think about it, it's impossible, you are my enemy on the road to championship.

He had been thinking about this trash talk for a long time. First, there was an elder's praise, and then the final blow. He believed that Kobe's mentality must have exploded.

"Hehe." Kobe smiled bluntly, and still needs to ask you for advice? I have consulted you for twenty years in the last life, what skills do you have that I don't know?

"Let me tell you, Phil has prepared a big gift for you." Jordan said mysteriously, then turned and returned to his own half.

"Phil" Kobe mumbled silently, what kind of tactics this old fox would prepare, Kobe was a little curious.
