Chapter 616 [One bad news, several good news]

As soon as the news came out, the Peak Comedies were all stunned.

"Other people laugh at me for being crazy, I call others Kehei" is the daily routine of this group of people.Now that Kobe can't play, they feel that they don't need to watch basketball games. Are the Lakers who don't have Kobe's soaring points still called Lakers?
"Kobe was injured in training in the early morning and was reimbursed for the season. Is there anything worse than this? Most people are still dreaming at this time. Kobe's efforts have killed him." (Have you seen the ambulance at four in the morning? )
"It's over, the Lakers will definitely be out in the first round of the playoffs. How can they win without Kobe? Support the Warriors to stage a black seven and hit Jerry Young hard in the face."

"The Raptors and the Greens won the championships as a team, but the Lakers have always been the single core of our department. During the three-peat period, they were also role players plus a few second-rate insiders and balloon stars. Yao Ming and Iguodala will be in this playoffs. The original is revealed."

"The championship is about to be lost. It is estimated that no one will watch the Lakers games in the playoffs. Kobe is the guarantee of the Lakers' box office. Yang Rui sprayed him before. Is this the SB?"

"People will immediately know what the Lakers look like without Kobe. Kobe was unlucky. Although he only has four rings, he has actually surpassed Jordan. If the Lakers were not injured last season, they would have won the championship. The injury will definitely win the championship, and the Cavaliers will be swept away if they enter the finals."

"I am willing to live 10 years less in exchange for Kobe Bryant's injury to play this playoffs. How many people think the same as me?"

In the end, this is the MVP in Comey. Between the lines, you can feel how sincere his feelings are. He must be crying very sadly in front of the computer, and his heart must be suffering from hell.

His BGM should be: My old father, the person I love the most, the sweetness in the world is ten percent, you only taste three percent,

I have not done enough to be your son and daughter in this life. I beg you to be my father in the next life.

It is not only Comey who is not optimistic about the Lakers. ESPN organized a team of basketball experts to predict the game. Everyone is not optimistic that the Lakers will win the championship. After all, they have lost two MVPs and are the leading players on the outside.

Only Yang Mi and Hu Mi are still optimistic. In online voting, 64% of people still think that Yang Rui can lead the Lakers to win the championship.

"Jerry Young has never missed the conference finals. Last season, Yao Ming was absent. The Lakers also played six games with the Celtics. This season, the Celtics lacked the best defensive player Garnett. The Lakers have a chance to win the championship."

"With Jerry, anything is possible!"

On April 4, the first round of the playoffs started, the Lakers VS the Warriors at home.The Jerry Department coaches met again, and Hornacek led the Warriors to break through, adding a glorious stroke to the Jerry Department's record.

The Staples Center was full, and fans poured into the arena early to chat and wait for the game to begin.

The reporter interviewed fans at the door. Most of the fans said they came to see Yao Ming. Yao Ming also won a regular season MVP. Many people wondered which of the two MVPs was better when they led the team alone.

Kobe was watching live TV at home, and before the game started, he was already furious.

He knocked out his front teeth and swallowed it, not daring to make a sound, and now he is extremely conflicted.

If the Lakers win the championship, he also has a ring, but it seems dispensable; if the Lakers are eliminated tragically, he can play but can only watch as a spectator. Will definitely win.

Yang Rui figured out Kobe's character thoroughly. The suspension was the most tormenting move for Kobe. Kobe couldn't fight back. Even if he wanted to shoot Yang Rui with a machine gun like Xu Wenqiang, he couldn't pass the level of the bodyguard.

Yang Rui came to the locker room ahead of time, gathered the players together, and stood on the field to boost morale.

He said loudly: "First of all, I want to say bad news. Kobe is out due to injury. We observe three seconds of silence for him. May Kobe go well all the way. May there be no pain in heaven, Amen."

The locker room fainted, but no one came forward to question Yang Rui's nonsense. Kobe had no friends on the team, only colleagues.

Yang Rui changed his smile: "Next, I'll tell you a few more good news, not much, just 6 or 7, because now that the shots are divided, everyone can benefit."

Pfft, several players couldn't hold back their laughter, including a veteran like Posey, Yang Rui was too bad.

"Hahaha." Assistant coach Brad Stevens even laughed out loud.

Kobe never respected the young Brad. After joining the Lakers, Kobe didn't talk to him, as if he was not an assistant coach, which made him very uncomfortable, and it was not pleasing to the eyes of Kobe.

Yang Rui looked at Yao Ming: "Yao, the first good news is yours. We mainly focus on high-level pick-and-roll and inside support in the playoffs. You are the first core of the team. Take time to practice more three-pointers in the middle, I need you to open it up. Spacing, playmaking and shooting more."

"No problem, I've been practicing for several years." Yao Ming replied with a smile.

"Andre (Iguodala), you are the second core of the team. After the inside line is emptied, you should cut to the basket at any time from the bottom corner and the side. You can attack the ball and use your physical advantages. I Believe in your ability to average 20 points a game and you can replace Kobe."

"Understood," Iguodala cried.

Yang Rui patted Millsap on the back next to him. "Paul, you proved yourself last season. Although you were not a high pick in the draft, in your first season with the Lakers, I firmly believe that you will become an All-Star in the future. You work hard and keep improving. You are proud. Open up the space, catch the ball from the mid-to-long distance, and wait for the opportunity to cut and rush the offensive rebound for the second attack. If you make less than 10 shots in a game, you will be criticized. "

Millsap smiled, overjoyed.

Since entering the league, Millsap has never averaged more than 10 shots per game, but Yang Rui knows that he has the potential to become a powerful attacking point, and he can practice three-pointers with certain accuracy in the future.

Yang Rui named Louis Williams and Aaron Brooks again. "When the opponent's interior speed is slow, you have to make more breakthroughs and attack boldly. Be confident, you know how Kobe played the pick-and-roll in the past, and what he can do, you can do it too. Faster and more advantageous."

The two small guards also felt valued, and they didn't have to pass the ball to one person after half-court, and they would be scolded for attacking themselves.

Yang Rui looked at Odom, who was looking at him eagerly. "Lamar, don't worry, I put you behind because I know you're selfless, not because I don't like you."

Odom smiled and scratched his head, a little embarrassed.

"If I could decide who enters the All-Star Game, you would have been selected long ago, and the fans will vote for you less because they don't know the product. If I can make the decision in 10 years, the World Championships will bring you to win the gold medal. In small-ball tactics, you are the best. The ideal center candidate, I let you off the bench to make it easier for the team to win, you sacrifice the most for the Lakers, this season, let everyone see your almighty!"

"I will." Odom smiled.

In the end, Yang Rui called out the names of all the remaining people and accurately stated each person's strengths.

They are role players, and they won’t be in the limelight in terms of data, but they must do their part to be efficient in a limited time. For them, ensuring efficiency is more important than generating good data.

Yang Rui said loudly: "We only have one goal this season, and that is the championship. Many fake experts are not optimistic about us. They are wrong. Without a person who likes singles, the Lakers will only be stronger because we are the best again. Team! We will win the championship with cooperation! Tell me loudly, do you have the confidence to win the championship?"

"Yes!" the players roared together.

Without Kobe Bryant, the Lakers are like a rainbow!
