King of the Point Guard Era

Chapter 87 Be a Challenger

He Yixiang looked at the teenage boy in front of him, and didn't know what to say. In fact, fans who know a little about team management should know that He Yixiang is definitely not available to the Lakers. In the king, if he wants to trade He Yixiang away, Instead of fans rioting, the owner will personally tell general manager Geoff Pate to pack up and leave.As far as the transaction value is concerned, He Yixiang, who got 20+10 in his rookie season, can't compare to Kobe even in his old age!

Fortunately, Su Ruoxuan was beside her, and she smiled apologetically at the young man: "He came to watch the game with me, and he wanted to challenge these guys more."

The young man was a little disappointed, but he didn't ask the end, because he had his own pride, they were last year's champions.However, the defending champion's match today was still a bit out of standard. Facing the mighty Heat, Kobe was helpless in the second half. Down.

In the fourth quarter, seeing that the gap was getting bigger and bigger, Kobe forced a breakthrough, but was hit by an offensive foul by Jones. Seeing that Kobe lost his composure, Zen Master also replaced Kobe. Kobe scored 16 points and 6 points on 17 of 7 shots. Assists and 6 rebounds, such data is obviously not qualified for an MVP-level player like him.What's more, James on the opposite side made 14 of 8 shots, and today he made 6 of 5 three-pointers, scoring 27 points, 10 assists and 11 rebounds in a triple-double. As the two stars most concerned by the media, Kobe naturally Understand what today's loss represents.

He Yixiang felt uncomfortable looking at Kobe's unhappy expression, because he knew that Kobe who lost the game would definitely have to practice more, and his habit of extra practice was learned from Kobe. Kobe's talent is counted in the league. At the top, but it is definitely not at the historical level, and his current top ten players in history are naturally inseparable from his efforts.

In the interview after the game, Kobe even said that he pressed his head to remind his teammates to stay focused, keep working hard, and not be satisfied with two championships, which shows how much he attaches importance to this loss.But at the same time, a reporter asked him: "He also came to see this Christmas game tonight. As we all know, the point guard is the biggest shortcoming for the Lakers to win the championship. What do you think about He joining the Lakers?"

This question is very sinister. Although the point guard is indeed the Lakers' shortcoming, isn't it clear that discussing trades under such a big defeat will make the team's morale unstable?He also straightened his face immediately: "I'm sorry, I think you may not have figured out the situation. We were the champions last year, and they were the challengers. Why are they so good? I can tell from the two matches this season , he is a point guard with great potential. But for now, both he and LeBron are nothing more than challengers to our kingship. Have you ever heard of a two-time champion taking the initiative to dismantle his championship lineup? "

These words directly left me with nothing to say, and the Lakers locker room, which was a little unstable because of this big defeat, suddenly became more united.It seems that while reporters use players, players can also use reporters properly to achieve their goals.

Back in Sacramento, on December 12th, the Kings will soon face the challenge of the Atlanta Hawks. This team has a good record this year, and the chemical reaction in the team is also under the organization of former Kings point guard Mike Bibby. well development.Bibby's peak was dedicated to the Kings, and he was warmly welcomed back to his old club.However, welcome is welcome, the game is the game, this is the second back-to-back away game of the Eagles, in the last game between the Eagles and the Hornets, it was at the last moment of overtime, this year signed the 27-year 6 million contract Eagle King Joe Johnson Three-point lore, scored 1.236 points.He Yixiang couldn't help but joked: "It seems that the Hornets are still no match for the Eagles in the air!"

But today, perhaps because of the exhaustion of the boat and the exhaustion of the previous game, the most important wings of the Eagles, Joe Johnson and Josh Smith, all performed abnormally. point.When the two most important wings of the eagle are broken, it is of no avail that his brain is Bibi sharp.

At the same time, most of the king's players have returned from injury. Both Landry and Garcia chose this game as a comeback game, and He Yixiang was more than happy to let this group of guys who hadn't played for several weeks vent their anger. With the strength accumulated in his heart, Landry scored a game-high 28 points and also had 8 rebounds. Garcia came off the bench and made 5 of 4 three-pointers. The good touch between the two also benefited from the During the recovery period, he also maintained basic training, especially Garcia, a veteran of the Kings, has a deep affection for the Kings. This year may be the first chance to enter the playoffs after 5 years. Garcia does not want to wear a suit and watch the team into the playoffs.

In the end, Bibby's battle to return to his old club ended in failure.The attacking king, the eagle with broken wings, this is undoubtedly the most true portrayal of this game.

After the game, the reporters surrounded He Yixiang, but it was not because he scored 17 points and 15 assists to lead the team to victory. The issues discussed had nothing to do with the injury. In terms of unreliable rumors, this also made He Yixiang very annoyed and helpless. He also used Kobe's words to emphasize that sentence again: "Kobe said that we are challengers, yes, I also hope to be his Maybe we are not as good as them now, but I am willing to be such a challenger with the king, and I am honored to be this challenger. The teammates who paid today played very well. Between me and them Very tacit."

At this moment, countless viewers of the king who watched the interview in front of the TV finally calmed down. The king did not have any expectations for winning the championship this year, but he was obviously very happy to be a spoiler and challenger of.For He Yixiang and Cousins, their future is infinitely bright.

At the same time, the management of the Kings also spoke out. Geoff Pate insisted that He Yixiang and Cousins ​​​​are definitely the two most important items not for sale. They are the future of the team. A challenger must be very interesting.Geoff Pate felt from the raging forum that if he didn't speak up, the fans would speak up and ask the boss to change the management and try it out.
