Chapter 137 Life is New Orleans, Death is the same

"Jack, you have to think about it? The Lakers are one of the richest teams in the league. He has a background that other teams don't have. Many Hall of Fame stars in the history of the league came from here. For example , O’Neal, Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Chamberlain, West, McCann, etc. Moreover, the Lakers also have the best management team in the league...all of these are necessary conditions for winning the championship.” Kobe continued.

If in Jack's rookie season, that is, when Jack first entered the league, Jack had received the notice of the league's trial training.Jack, of course, preferred the Los Angeles Lakers.

No reason, just because Los Angeles has Kobe as a great god.Jack has always believed in one thing, that he can see far by standing on the shoulders of giants.Only playing under endless pressure is the fastest progress.

However, after working hard and struggling with the Hornets last season, Jack has fallen in love with New Orleans, the Hornets, his teammates, and coming to the scene every night to support the Hornets. cheering fans.

Among them, the most important thing that makes Jack not want to leave is that Jack doesn't want to escape.Standing up from where you fall is the principle that Jack has always followed.

Finally, and most importantly, Jack doesn't want to be anyone's little brother.Including Kobe, Jack is not a person who casually surrenders at the feet of other people.

Now Jack doesn't just want to win. Jack doesn't just want to win, but also wants to win in his name.

"Why? Jack, you are still very young. There are some things you don't understand. This league is far from as simple as you imagined. Just follow me, and within five years, the future of the Lakers will definitely be yours. Moreover, I can guarantee that as long as you join the Lakers, we will definitely be able to beat the invincible players in the league." Bryant continued.

"No!" Jack continued to shake his head, expressing his attitude.

Jack's continuous refusal also made Kobe lose his patience. Kobe said angrily: "Jack, don't be shameless! There are not many players in the league that I can afford. I lobbied you to join because I can afford it." You. But, don't you want to be shameless?" Kobe was angry, and he said very annoyed.

Jack is not a persimmon who can be pinched by others.Even if that person was Kobe Bryant, Jack replied forcefully: "Tell you the truth! Kobe, I will not leave the Hornets. I was born and died in New Orleans. And there is me. I feel that even if I don’t join the Lakers, even if I am in the Hornets, I can still win a lot of championships, just watch!” Now that he had a falling out with Kobe, Jack didn’t care anymore, and he also expressed his own thoughts idea.

"Rookie, you will regret it! You just wait to be forgotten as a player like Charles Barkley!" Bryant continued to fire at Jack.

"Thank you for your advice. However, I think you will be disappointed." After Jack finished speaking, he left directly.Now, the words have been made clear.Jack had nothing left to miss.

Seeing that Jack was rushing like himself, Kobe couldn't help being taken aback, and shouted in his heart, "Interesting? It seems that you and I are the same type of person! It seems that there will be another rare opponent in the league in the future. "

Watching Jack's receding back, a rare smile appeared on Kobe's face.Looking at the back of Jack leaving, Kobe muttered to himself: "Jack, I remember you..."

At this time, Vanessa, as his wife, came over.Facing Kobe: "Why do you speak so aggressively?"

Kobe also shook his head helplessly, and sighed: "He and I are the same type of person, we can't be comrades in arms, we can only be rivals."

"However, I am really looking forward to the duel with that guy. Now there is only him and the Cavaliers No. 23 in the league, who can make me full of energy." Kobe added later.

………………

The next night, Jack stepped into the Staples Center again.

Although, it is the same arena, and the name is also called Staples Center.However, when he stepped into the home court of the Los Angeles Lakers, there was an inexplicable sacred atmosphere that quickly invaded his brain, which was not there when he was playing against the Los Angeles Clippers.

Today's Staples Arena is still overcrowded, and the game has not yet officially started.However, the attendance rate of the fans at the scene has reached 9%.

Today's competition was able to achieve today's results entirely thanks to the media reports before the competition.Also, yesterday's game made today's game even more attractive.

As a traditional giant team in the league, he will never be short of highlights and news.

In the battle between New Orleans and the Los Angeles Lakers, the Los Angeles media began to use pen and ink to render it before the game started.

"Kobe Bryant vs Jack, the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road"

"Can Kobe Bryant Stop New Orleans' Winning Streak"

"How should the Hornets without Tyson and Chris Paul deal with the Lakers"

"How Jack Should Face Kobe"

Yesterday, fans in Los Angeles bought all the tickets here, even though it is much higher than the ticket price of the Clippers.

This is the strength of this giant team. Everyone who supports the Lakers wants to see this peak matchup and watch their team beat their opponents at home.

Before the game started, the fans at the scene held signs and chanted various slogans.

"Jack, come to the Lakers and win the championship with Kobe!~"

"Go back to New Orleans! The Lakers are not the Clippers!"

The game hadn't started yet, but Staples made a roar like a tsunami.

The passion of the fans at the scene also instantly ignited Jack's passion.

With the change of the Hornets, boxing champion Tyson Chandler couldn't play, and Hilton was replaced at the center position, and the other positions remained unchanged.Because Hilton's promotion of the starting position has caused the Hornets' already very weak substitute to become even weaker now.There is no competition at all.

For the Lakers: point guard Smush Parker, shooting guard Kobe Bryant, forward Luke Walton, power forward Lamar Odom, center Kwame Brown.

The whistle blew and the game started. Everyone had an indescribable solemnity on their faces, because this was a game that was watched all over the United States, and there was no room for loss. **TV was broadcasting live across the United States. "Golden Partner" Charles Barkley Jazz and Kenny Smith make their debuts.

There was a fierce competition for the first jump ball. The tragic Kwame Brown had a flash of inspiration and took off almost at the same time as Hilton. In the end, Kevin grabbed the basketball, and then Jack dribbled across the half court. Peja Stockway Odd made a three-pointer and scored the first three-pointer for the Hornets.
