NBA: The start beat Kobe Bryant in his old age

Chapter 13 Kobe: Lin, you don't have to answer this question
Kobe held the ball to press time, and Kemba Walker rushed directly to foul him.

When Kobe got to the free throw line, the audience applauded him.

His career free throw percentage is not low.

Under the watchful eyes of the audience, Kobe made two free throws steadily.

The score was further expanded to 8 points by the Lakers.

The game time is only more than 40 seconds left.

Kemba Walker came to the court with the ball and made a three-pointer when he was two meters away from the three-point line. However, he still failed to make the ball. He shook his head in frustration, with frustration written on his face. This was his worst game in the past month.

The players came to the Lakers, and they pressed time again. In the end, Kobe made a two-pointer and made a steady hit. The score gap came to 10 points!
After the Hornets served, they didn't play anymore, just waiting for the time to run out.

"Om~~"

The buzzer sounded at the end of the game, and the score between the Lakers and the Hornets was finally fixed at 98:88.

The Lakers won the game by 10 points.

"Okay, as the referee blows his whistle, the game is over!"

“本场比赛砍下最高分的是湖人23号球员林天！他的数据是36分6个篮板2助攻6抢断0盖帽0失误！”

"He conquered the audience with an excellent performance!"

"Kobe Bryant of the Lakers had 24 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists."

Here, Lin Tian and his teammates hugged and celebrated.

At this time, Lin Crazy from the Hornets came up to Lin Tian: "Dude! My God! This is crazy! You scored 36 points, congratulations!"

"Thank you." Lin Tian smiled.

"You bastard! It's been a while since I saw you, you've been completely reborn!" Lin Madness couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "Kobe will actually play a pick-and-roll for you."

Lin Tian asked back: "Didn't Kobe also play a pick-and-roll for you?"

"Haha! Our situation is completely different! The last time Kobe played me a pick-and-roll, do you know how reluctant he was?"

Lin smiled wryly. When he was still in the Lakers last season, his relationship with Kobe was not good, but he had already let it go because he was walking in Kobe's direction, "I won't talk to you anymore! I'm going to exchange jerseys with Kobe!"

Lin Tian smiled helplessly. Now whether Kobe is playing home or away, someone exchanges jerseys with him every game.

Because everyone knows that this is Kobe's last season.

This also caused the Lakers equipment manager to prepare a few more jerseys for Kobe every time.

At the end of the celebration, Lin Tian and his teammates returned to the locker room. He took a comfortable bath first, and then was notified by the team staff to accept a post-match interview.

Under normal circumstances, after a game, the team boss, second child and head coach will be arranged to be interviewed.

But sometimes there are exceptions. For example, if a player performs extremely well in a certain game, he may also get the opportunity to be interviewed by the media.

Today's Lin Tian is obviously such a special case.

Lin Tian came to the media room with Kobe and Scott.

Scott took the lead in the interview and said a lot of unnutritious words, but he praised Lin Tian's performance.

Then there was Kobe, who kept praising Lin Tian, ​​which surprised the reporters off the court.

They know Kobe too well. In previous interviews, in order not to satisfy his teammates, he rarely praised the team's performance.

The next step is to interview Lin Tian.

Although Charlotte's attention is not as high as that of the Lakers, there are still a lot of guns and short guns aimed at Lin Tian and the others today.

With such a big battle, Lin Tian was not nervous.

Many reporters wanted to ask him questions. These reporters either raised their hands, or raised their microphones or pens, just to be noticed by Lin Tian.

Lin Tian casually clicked on a female reporter, who quickly asked questions. "Hey! Lin! You played very well tonight. You scored a game-high 36 points. The team also won. This is the only winning streak for the Lakers this season. Do you have anything to say?"

"Uh... you know, all our players played hard today, and everyone felt good. It was a great victory."

Lin Tian's answer is very official. They have all taken classes on how to answer the media's questions, which is not a problem for him.

Then another reporter asked a second question: "Lin! You defended Kemba Walker very well in the last few minutes of the fourth quarter. May I ask if this was the coach's arrangement, or was it your own improvisation?"

This question is a little bit tricky, because Scott didn't ask Lin Tian to defend Kemba Walker at all.

What Lin Tian did was entirely his own decision.

And if you tell the other party this answer, Scott's prestige in the team will decrease. After all, if you don't listen to the coach, the consequences will be very serious.

Although Scott is indeed not a very good coach, there is no need for Lin Tian to offend him.

He took a sip of water: "The coach asked me to try to defend Kemba Walker, because he knew that I defended Paul well in the last game."

In the face of the other party's questions, sometimes you must be tactful, and you must not be pinched by the nose.

Don't look at the beautiful female reporter who asked the question. If you are not careful, you may fall into her trap.

These reporters can't wait to pierce the sky.

Scott, who was sitting next to Lin Tian, ​​showed a surprised expression, but soon his face returned to normal.

The third reporter began to ask questions: "This is the third game after you signed a 10-day contract with the Lakers. According to the rules set by the league, you are now free. Have you negotiated a new contract with the Lakers? Have other teams contacted you?"

Lin Tian was thinking about how to answer this question, when Kobe on the side suddenly looked at Lin Tian: "Lin, you don't need to answer this question."

Whether it is about transfers or contract renewals, it is an extremely sensitive topic at this juncture, and Kobe is obviously very clear.

Lin Tian still chose to respect the media. He cast a reassuring look at Kobe: "To be honest, I'm not very clear about my future, but who wouldn't want to play with Kobe? He is one of the best players in NBA history."

At this time, the staff of the Lakers public relations department also stated that the interview time was over.

After returning to the locker room, Lin Tian sorted out his personal belongings. As for the jersey and sneakers, the equipment department had already taken them away.

The Lakers have another back-to-back game tomorrow night, and they will fly back to Los Angeles overnight tonight.

Although Lin Tian has recovered his free body, he still returned to Los Angeles with the team.

On the plane, they finally had several hours to rest.

What Lin Tian didn't know was that during this period of time, the news about him had become popular in the Quanmi sports circle.

The general managers of countless teams wanted to call Lin Tian's agent in person, and even the bosses of some teams even went off the field in person.

But these teams searched and searched, but found a problem, the Chinese player Lin Tian!There is no broker at all!
Lin Tian only played 3 NBA games. Before that, he had been playing for the South Bay Lakers, that is, in the Development League.

Compared with the salary of NBA players, the salary of development league players is very different!Not to mention hiring an agent, some players can't even support themselves!
Only some young players with better draft prospects will hire agents for themselves, and their salaries are relatively higher.

Lin Tian doesn't have an agent, and the general managers of these teams can only try to pry some information from the Lakers.

It stands to reason that because of the frequent transactions between the various teams, the information about the players is generally not kept secret.

But this time, all the general managers who asked the Lakers for Lin Tian's information were rejected by the Lakers.

　Thanks everyone for the upvotes!Is there any need for a monthly pass?
