Chapter 287 Kobe
Because the main body of the transaction scandal revolves around young players such as Ingram, Kuzma, Han Ziqi, Paul Mark and Thomas Bryant, so the Lakers lost LeBron James. There is also a problem with mentality.In the Lakers' home game against the Clippers, all young players, except for Han Ziqi and Paul Mark, performed abnormally.Ingram only scored 11 points on 2 of 5 shots, and he also sent 4 turnovers.On the other hand, Kuzma scored only 9 points on 2 of 7 shots. The performance of the two almost ruined the Lakers' efforts to come back throughout the game.

Even though Wade scored 23 points and 10 assists, Thomas Jr. also scored 15 points and 6 rebounds, plus Paul Mark's 19 points and 10 rebounds and Han Ziqi's 17 points, the Lakers still lost at home to In this game, Louis Williams of the Clippers scored 45 points, almost blowing up the entire Lakers team by himself. Coach Walton has changed countless people to try to organize Lu Wei scored, but unfortunately, no one can guard against this singles master. Maybe Ingram, whose mentality has not been affected, can do it, but unfortunately he is not in shape.

Subsequently, the Lakers lost at home to the Kings, who had won at home a few days ago. In this game, Fox and Hield jointly scored 60 points. Quite old, they have already passed the age when they can dominate the game.Thomas Jr. and Wade saw it and were anxious. Although they had verbally reminded the young players of the Lakers countless times, they still couldn't listen to them, and the state of the game still couldn't be adjusted.

And there are more and more trade rumors between the Lakers and Pelicans, including all kinds of gossip. As long as Han Ziqi shows up in public, he will inevitably be asked about his involvement in the Anthony Davis trade. Regarding the opinions in the scandal, Han Ziqi also kept silent on this kind of issue. After all, what he knew was relatively one-sided, and he was not sure whether he could stay in Los Angeles.

After joining the Lakers for more than a year, Han Ziqi has yet to meet his true idol, Kobe Bryant.When Han Ziqi was selected by the Lakers, Han Ziqi was so excited that he might meet face-to-face with the idol he had admired for more than ten years. Unexpectedly, until now, Han Ziqi has not met Kobe face-to-face. This really made him sad.

However, during the training on January 1, Kobe showed up at the Lakers' training ground as a former Lakers player. The Lakers, who originally ranked first in the West and even the first in the league, have now been overtaken by the Warriors and dropped to the West. No.2, the team's state is getting worse and worse. This also makes Kobe, who has been expressing his optimistic view of this team at the beginning of the season, a little anxious. Kobe's appearance today is just to encourage these young Lakers. lads.

As the "big guy" in the basketball world, Wade was the first to greet Kobe and hugged him after seeing Kobe's appearance. The second was Thomas Jr., and the third was Rondo. These people They are all old acquaintances. They have staged some scripts and plots of love and hatred in the competition. It can be said that their personal relationship is also very good.And James was recuperating in the hospital at this time, so he didn't come to the Lakers' training hall.

Kobe walked to the center of the field, hugged his old teammate and now Lakers coach Luke Walton, and began his speech.

"I came today mainly to see my little brothers. A few days ago, you were still in an invincible state. At that time, you made almost no mistakes and won almost all games, but the trading scandal But let your state suddenly fall to the bottom. I think that as a professional player, although everyone has their own ideas, since you play in this team every day, you should do your best to contribute to this team. Everything, after all you play here for a day, it's still the team that pays you. I know it's hard to be caught up in the trade rumors, but that's part of the NBA, that's the business, for For the bosses, we are like their weight. Some people play basketball purely to make money, while others really love this sport. I hope everyone can cheer up from today. Today I am I will train with you." Kobe said seriously.

But Kobe's words did not ease the mentality of the young players much, but Kobe's weight in their hearts is still very heavy. With Kobe's words, the Lakers players still rekindled their desire to fight. They seemed to be back to who they were at the beginning of the season in today's training.

"Hey, Chinese boy, I found that you and Yao Ming are two completely different people. He is reserved after all. You are completely different. I think you talk too much in training. You are more like us Americans. .” Kobe said to Han Ziqi with a smile.

Han Ziqi felt flattered when he heard his idol talking to him, he hurriedly replied nervously: "Haha, the main reason is that I know my teammates too well, so what I said would be a bit skinny after all. In fact, if I I still don’t like to talk when facing people I don’t know very well. My personality is mainly due to the fact that I have spent a long time here in the United States. After all, I have spent my high school and college years here. University's."

Later, Han Ziqi shared with Kobe how much he admired and respected Kobe during the break.Especially in the year of my senior high school entrance examination, I sneaked up at three o'clock in the morning to watch the Lakers game, which made Kobe laugh out loud.But then both of them fell into silence, because that season was the season when Kobe tore his Achilles tendon. After that, Kobe never returned to his peak state.

"Hey, if you go back in time, would you still choose to continue to play that game with all your strength? After all, you were injured twice before the Achilles tendon was torn." Han Ziqi asked.

"Of course, this is me, this is the Mamba spirit. I hope you young players will never give up. You are still young and you have a bright future. I believe you will be able to play your own world." Kobe seriously say.
