Starting with 2006

Chapter 86

"Hey, Tracy, how's it going? I won."

Kobe laughed and said to McGrady on the phone.

"Okay, Kobe, I've made a note, and I'll treat you to dinner next time I go to Los Angeles."

McGrady was a little helpless. He called Kobe after he played against Gao Tian last time, because Kobe called him before the game between the Rockets and the Suns, telling him to pay attention to the rookie who was playing against him.

At that time, I was very surprised. You must know that Kobe is a person with high self-esteem. There are not many stars who can be put in his eyes, let alone a rookie. It's not easy.

After the game, he also made a bet with Kobe. Kobe told him that this rookie would be the best rookie of the month. God.

The gap is too far, except for Roy, the pioneer, who is a bit interesting, and the others have no real strength.

But Kobe later told him that he would be the best player in the Western Conference this month. McGrady felt unbelievable when he heard this sentence. You must know that no one in history has been able to accomplish such a feat. Why would Kobe Think he can do it?
Sometimes strength does not determine everything in such an option selection. Perhaps it is not difficult for a long-established superstar, but it is too difficult for a rookie.

Although he and Kobe are good friends, it doesn't mean that he can agree with Kobe's point of view. In his eyes, the best player in the Western Conference this month should be his teammate, the mainstay of the Rockets, and Yao Ming who led the team all the way.

But this is indeed a very interesting thing. The two only Chinese people are competing for the same award, so he decided to bet with Kobe.

Of course, at their level, they say they are going to eat, but they don't actually eat anything. After all, athletes have high demands on their bodies, especially top players like them.

They bet more for fun, those who are not short of money, what they lack is just a kind of fun, most of their lives are games, they often gamble for fun, they don’t care about winning or losing, they just care more about the pleasure.

Obviously, Kobe won this time.

In fact, even Kobe didn't think that Gao Tian could really do this, because it was really difficult. For a rookie, he must have a high degree of exposure and lead the team to an excellent record.

For a super rookie on a big team, he can have unlimited shots on this team. He can use a lot of shots to get a very good statistic, but for most rookies who play fairly well. Is such that.

So naturally the team's record will be bad, even very poor in most cases, and almost none of them will make it to the playoffs.

But Gao Tian is indeed different from others. He is in one of the strongest teams, and he has the most shot rights in the team. This is extremely rare. The most important thing is that he has that strength!
To be able to make the real controller of the team make concessions for him, and let the other starters of the team sacrifice their shooting rights to Gao Tian, ​​what a team with strong cohesion and execution can do this. ?

Everyone is selfish. It is too difficult for one person to give away part of the ball that belongs to him. This is why most rookies cannot grow in teams that are already strong.

The Suns were able to do this mainly because Nash took the lead in reducing the possession of the ball, coupled with Gao Tian's own strength here, which made Stoudemire, who was originally unwilling, reluctantly reduce his own offensive role.

Kobe felt a little bitter thinking about this. He himself wanted to reduce the role of the scene, but no one on the team could do this, and none of them had the strength.

The path of the sun and Gao Tian is already clear, so what about the path of the Lakers and himself?

In the end how to go?

Thinking of this, Kobe's eyes are full of bewilderment. He really doesn't know how to lead this team with no upper limit to the position he desires. It is simply not enough to rely on himself.

At this time, in Houston, LeBron James looked at the score unwillingly, 61:83!

According to NBA practice, the away team is at the front and the home team is at the back. The Cavaliers lost this game, and it was an ugly loss.

Both offense and defense were completely suppressed by the Rockets. Van Gundy did a particularly good job of defending the Cavaliers. When he received a pass from him, the rim seemed to be covered, and it always popped out of the frame.

Although the Rockets' offense is not good, but they have Yao Ming in the paint, the poor big Z was beaten by Yao Ming in various ways like a child, which made LeBron cry. It was really not easy. In the end, Coach Brown It is still necessary to let LeBron attack Yao Ming more on the defensive end. After all, the Rockets' perimeter can be a gamble.

But obviously, the Cavaliers lost. Although the Rockets' outside line is not very accurate, it is at least much better than the Cavaliers' outside line. James, who was suppressed by Tracy McGrady and Yao Ming, was very uncomfortable. To the locker room.

Although the team is already good, it can be regarded as a strong team in the East, and it is not difficult to enter the playoffs, but this is not what LeBron James wants. He is the No. I thought I could get everything I deserved, but I didn't expect the team to be so bad in the first three years.

If he could bear it before, waiting for the team's promise and a bright future, but when Dwyane Wade, the player who was in the same class as him, had already won the championship and even became the MVP of the finals. His heart was inevitably agitated.

He thinks that his strength is not inferior to anyone else, but the team's lineup has never been able to allow him to truly lead the team on the right path. He also talked to the management, but they still keep him waiting. Do you have that much time?

This season has just started, and the team has finally shown the vitality he wanted in his heart. At least so far, the team's record is very good, far exceeding his own expectations.

From the previous countdown to the current front row, LeBron James is already very satisfied. Although he has not really met his requirements, he knows that this appearance is already the limit of the team.

I can only change more from myself.

LeBron James secretly encouraged himself, the Cavaliers will definitely do something this season!

However, he couldn't help but frown when he heard the discussion of his teammates. He knew that this rookie was indeed very strong.

but.

James looked at his strong self in the mirror, and murmured: "I am the strongest, better than Wade and this Chinese man!"
