NBA: The start beat Kobe Bryant in his old age

Chapter 253 The Air Smells of Money!
It was already one o'clock in the morning when Lin Tian and Kobe returned to the hotel.

Deeply sleepy, he lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep within a few minutes.

The next morning, the players set off for Los Angeles.

The embarrassing atmosphere of losing was permeated on the plane.

After a long silence, Lin Tian stood up and delivered a speech.

As the well-deserved team boss on the court, he has an obligation to cheer up all players.

Lin Tian's speech did indeed play a big role. After he finished speaking, the atmosphere became much better.

Howard also smiled at Nick Young and said, "Hey! Smile, dude, we haven't been eliminated yet!"

In yesterday's game, Nick Young made 10 of 1 shots from the field. His performance cannot be described as undercover.

However, the shooting percentage of other players is not much better than Nick Young. Even Kobe's shooting percentage has just reached 30%!

Before Nick Young could speak, Kobe frowned: "Dwight! Although we haven't been eliminated yet, we don't have the right to laugh!"

"Did you forget the scene where the Magic team you led and our Lakers met in the Finals that year, and you made me laugh before the game? So you lost."

"No no no! I will never forget it." Howard immediately shook his head solemnly.

Lin Tian sat back in his seat, took out his mobile phone and began to watch the news.

With the East champion already born, basketball fans all over the world are now paying attention to the situation in the West.

Almost all news today is inseparable from the words Lakers or Warriors:
[Warriors took Tianwangshan lightly, and the big score came to 3:2, and one of their feet has stepped into the finals! 】

[Fans are fortunate enough to watch the battle of bravery for the second consecutive year? 】

[Battle of Tianwangshan, the Warriors abruptly used a three-pointer to kill the Lakers! 】

[The Lakers are collectively lost! The G6 battle is Kobe's retirement battle? 】

[The average price of G6 tickets at the Staples Center is announced, which is as high as $2000! 】

[A ticket next to the Huyong G6 technical platform was successfully auctioned, creating the highest price in history! 】

[NBA president Adam Silver G6 game, the Western Conference championship trophy has been delivered to Staples! 】

……

In the era of the rise of the Internet, almost everything about the NBA has been infinitely magnified.

All kinds of news emerge in endlessly every day, which is dazzling.

Lin Tian turned off Penguin News, and opened Twitter to read it.

Many players he followed expressed their views on yesterday's game.

Durant: The Lakers have tried their best, and they will lose the game at home next.

Even Durant is not optimistic about them.

Under his twitter, there were a lot of people yelling at him, Durant also replied one by one, Lin Tian didn't look at it again.

In addition to Durant's accident, Dream Chasing Green also posted on social media, and it was posted an hour ago.

Chasing Dream Green: That's it, we will personally send the Lakers away in G6!Give Kobe a not perfect retirement battle!
His self-confidence is still as strong as ever, but it has little effect on Lin Tian.

It is rumored that Chasing Dream Green is going to create a podcast program by himself. With his big mouth, it is normal for him to talk so much.

Kobe, who was sitting next to Lin Tian, ​​turned his head and looked at his screen, and reminded: "Lin, don't pay too much attention to these news that are useless to the game, you know? When I was young, I also cared about what others thought of me, but later I became bearish. There are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people's eyes."

Lin Tian chuckled: "I know, Kobe, I just think it's very interesting."

Many players will turn off their social media in the playoffs, including James and Westbrook, in order not to affect their performance in the playoffs.

But Lin Tian is not interested in doing that, and if he doesn't play social media, it won't be much fun.

The plane arrived in Los Angeles very quickly, and the players didn't go home after landing. They put their luggage directly in the locker room, and then trained intensively.

There was also an episode during this period. Nance Jr.’s father wanted to come to watch the game at home, but because there were no tickets, Nance Jr. applied to the team, but was ruthlessly rejected by the team. In the end, Kobe and Lin Tian came forward, and Kupchak personally presented the tickets.

As an NBA player, many times family members watch the game and need to buy tickets.

Of course, for some special games, players can apply to the team, and the general team will agree.

This time the situation is completely different.

Nance Jr.'s father, Larry Nance, was a well-known star player in the NBA in the 90s. He was selected to the All-Star team and the best defensive team three times. The Cavaliers even retired his jersey.

But it is such a player, if you come to watch the game in the regular season, maybe the team will give you tickets for free.

In the critical G6 arena, the team will definitely squeeze the tickets to death!

Because of the huge influence of this game, the average ticket price per game has broken the highest record in NBA history.

If the Lakers lose, the commemorative significance of these tickets is self-evident.

In Lin Tian's previous life, after Kobe retired, someone even publicly auctioned off the atmosphere of Kobe's retirement battle, which shows how valuable it is.

After two days of intense training, the G6 battle between the Lakers and the Warriors finally started.

At 5:28 p.m. on May [-], players from both sides entered the stadium on time to warm up.

Kobe came out to the cheers of the audience, and after greeting his teammates, he went to the auditorium next to the technical stage and kissed his two daughters. This season, as long as it is the home game of the Lakers, Kobe's family is rarely absent.

Many celebrities of the Lakers, including Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Jerry West, were also invited to the auditorium.

O'Neill even sat in the commentary seat, and today's game will be explained by him and a host.

When the game was about to start, there were bursts of boos at the scene. It turned out that NBA President Xiao Hua also came.

Since Scott stepped down and Xiao Hua came to power, he has made drastic reforms to the nba, causing the nba to lose many old fans.

And the nba's whistle is obviously tighter than before. In a sense, the arrival of the small ball era is inevitable.

Most fans don't like this bald president who wears glasses and looks gentle, so it's normal to boo him.

The owner of the Lakers, Buss Jr., and several senior executives of the team also sat in the auditorium, but their positions were not conspicuous.

Sitting in prominent positions are often some celebrities and top figures in other industries.

It can be said that there are countless rich people from all over the world who came to Staples tonight.

Nick Young made a three-pointer while warming up, and then whispered in Lin Tian's ear: "The air is filled with the smell of money!"
