Kobe Bryant through time

Chapter 259 Eddie accepts a new role

So, what is this for?Eddie has one head and two big heads. What happened to Bryant today? He made it so mysterious and made the atmosphere tense. Damn it, what the hell is going on?

"Bryant, just say what you want, don't talk about it, I will sacrifice for the team, as long as the team can win, it is more important than anything else." Eddie expressed his heart, and this is also From the bottom of his heart, he had figured it out a long time ago, as long as the Lakers can win the final victory, he can get the championship ring himself, no matter what he wants to do, isn't this what a player will fight for in his life?
"Eddie, that's great." Ling Yu sighed, but couldn't say it out. For some reason, Eddie was so generous, and seemed to have no intentions at all. Ling Yu couldn't help feeling a little nervous in his heart. Uncomfortable, he couldn't help laughing bitterly. For the victory of the game, Ling Yu can ask his teammates and good friends to sacrifice, but if Eddie is so reluctant, Ling Yu can say it directly, but now, Eddie didn't know that he was asked to play the sixth man, so he agreed with an open heart. This made Ling Yu feel very ashamed. He is also a player of the Lakers. He can ask others to sacrifice for victory, but what about himself?
Ling Yu didn't dare to think about it anymore, so he could only smile wryly, and after a while, he still spoke, but the voice was so low, and he was still very uncertain, very helpless.

"Eddie, you may have noticed in the last game. Although we won in the end, there is a fatal flaw in the team. If this gap is not filled, we can't go far." Ling Yu He kept staring at Eddie without moving his eyes. He really wanted to see what Eddie was thinking, but just after he finished speaking, Eddie frowned.

"Bryant, you are talking about the second team." Eddie has also played for several years, and naturally has the ability to observe the game. He saw this problem in the last game, but He is not a particularly strong and competitive player like Ling Yu, so he didn't say anything about it, because even if he said this kind of thing, it didn't seem to make sense. It is the job of the coach Del to change, all he has to do is to play every game well.

However, now that Ling Yu asked, he thought about it, and began to feel uneasy in his heart. He seemed to have guessed what Ling Yu was going to say.

"Yes, our second team's offensive ability is insufficient. This is our biggest problem now. If this continues for a long time, the physical fitness of the starting lineup will be strongly tested. Whether it can survive until the playoffs is still a problem. "Ling Yu is very clear that a player who does not get rest for a long time and maintains a long-term high-strength confrontation every day is the most vulnerable to injury. Kobe is an example.

A 34-year-old veteran, his average playing time is close to 10 minutes per game, ranking first in the league, and he devotes himself to every game, fighting with all his strength, with only one goal, that is to win, but the final result is The victory was won, and he himself fell. Although the fall was heroic, it also really affected his career, and it is very likely that his lifelong dream of pursuing basketball would be shattered like this.

Ling Yu doesn't know how Kobe is now, but he can imagine that Kobe will definitely not be the omnipotent Kobe before. A ruptured Achilles tendon will make him more careful about his jumping and shooting. It will affect his running, and therefore, under the shackles of these concerns, he will definitely not be able to perform at his best. At that time, it is very likely that only 40.00% of his state will be left for him. Thinking about it, Ling Yu I feel that this is no longer Kobe, but an angel with broken wings.

"Bryant, do you mean you want me to play as a substitute?" Eddie asked with a frown. To be honest, he really didn't want to play as a substitute. It seems difficult to accept it as a substitute.

Ling Yu didn't answer Eddie, took a moment, nodded and said: "You are the only one who has ever led the team alone in the starting lineup, and Horry is too old to take on that heavy responsibility, so, I mean, I hope you can Playing as the sixth man of the team, when the time comes, use your offensive ability to bring the offense of the second team up, which is good for the team, the second team, and us."

Eddie pondered, but did not answer. At this time, he knew very well that since Ling Yu told him so seriously, it meant that the matter was settled in this way, and if there was no accident, Del had already known about it. Sometimes, if he doesn't accept it, Del will come to persuade him, but the end result is the same, he wants to play the sixth man.

However, when you think about it, there is nothing wrong with playing the sixth man. You don't have to compete with O'Neill and Ling Yu for the shot. With the right to shoot, he can win the title of the best sixth man at the end of the designated season.

I haven't played offense for many years, and I don't know if it will work. Since it's all for the team's victory, then accept it, and it's nothing.

Eddie figured it out, smiled at Ling Yu, and said: "Bryant, you don't have to be so careful. You have so many worries. If you hit the sixth man, you are the sixth man. It's nothing. The sixth man is fine too." , when the time comes, you will be the boss, you can do whatever you want, and you don’t even have to ask, haha.”

Eddie laughed out loud, and the helplessness he felt just now seemed to have disappeared as well.However, Ling Yu could see that he was still feeling very uncomfortable, and these smiles were just a cover-up.

Brother, you have worked hard.

Ling Yu was extremely grateful in his heart, but he didn't know what to say right now, so he could only pat Eddie on the shoulder, looked at him trustingly, and laughed.

Then Eddie also laughed, and the others couldn't help looking over, looking at each other, not knowing what these two guys were doing, what's so funny.

Del also came after a while, and after counting the number of people, they rushed to Chicago.

When we arrived at the reserved hotel in Chicago, everyone seemed to be tired. After finding their own rooms, they fell asleep.

Ling Yu was used to flying, so he didn't feel very tired, so after putting down his luggage, he left the room and planned to go out for a walk. It happened that Del just came out of his room at this time. After seeing Ling Yu, He hurriedly said hello.

"Bryant, you want to go out?" Del asked curiously, everyone is resting, why are you running out, blowing air, or blowing water?
Ling Yu walked over gently, his face darkened: "I'm going to go out for a walk, where are you, Del?"

"Oh. I'm going to buy some medicine, just downstairs, let's go together?" Del said slowly.

"Let's go." Ling Yu happened to have something to say to Del, so it's good to go on like this, and he can finish talking at this opportunity.

"Dell, Eddie agreed." Ling Yu said softly.

"He agreed to play the sixth man?" Del was a little surprised, as if he couldn't imagine that Eddie would agree so easily, and he didn't mean to be dissatisfied at all.

As early as when he was on the plane, Del paid special attention to Eddie’s every move, and found that he was talking and laughing. At that time, Del thought that Ling Yu didn’t tell him, so he was a little disappointed immediately, thinking that Eddie had After knowing the change, he accepted it so easily, it seems fake.

But now, when Ling Yu said this, Del couldn't help being stunned: "When did you ask him? What was his reaction? Is there any dissatisfaction, or is there any cursing?"

Del is very concerned about this issue, he doesn't want what happened last season to happen again.

Think about it, from Nick to O'Neal last season, they were the main players on the team. Although Nick's talent is not very good, he has a wide vision and can often send more than ten assists. This is also the top five in the league. Wei, however, because of Del's improper arrangement, he was dissatisfied, and finally he pretended to be injured and refused to fight, which made Del very helpless.

Then there was O'Neill, and it was Dell who was impatient and insisted on pushing Ling Yu up to make this happen. Now I think it's because I didn't handle the relationship with the players well, and the rationality of the tactics.

For this reason, Del is extra careful about changing the lineup. He doesn't want to make both sides dissatisfied, and conflicts will happen in the end. If this is the case, he would rather not change the lineup, and then think of other countermeasures.

In Del's dictionary, there is an extra sentence: only unity can win.

Ling Yu also knew that Del was worried. In fact, he himself was also worried about it, because Eddie's attitude was too calm, as if nothing happened at all, and he seemed to be willing to accept this role change, which really made Ling Yu feel a lot. worry.

At first, Ling Yu felt that Eddie would have some small complaints, or magnify them, just dissatisfaction with such a tactic, and then throw a tantrum, but he didn't expect him to object at all, and he had no dissatisfaction at all, which seemed too illogical.

"I told him before getting on the plane." Ling Yu didn't hide anything, and now he has nothing to hide.

"Before boarding the plane?" Del's eyes widened, and after a while, his brows frowned again: "He doesn't seem to have any objections, I think he's still very happy."

"That's true. He said that he is the absolute leader in the second team. You don't have to worry about the ball. Naturally, it's all handed over to him. He likes this role very much." Ling Yu said according to Eddie's words. Come out, in fact, he himself didn't know whether these words were from Eddie's heart, or just perfunctory.

"Since that's the case, don't think too much about it. Let Eddie fight the sixth man. After buying the medicine, I'll go back and change my tactics." Del heaved a sigh of relief, and then walked into the pharmacy.
