Chapter 173 The Lakers want to trade?

"Kobe, have you seen how strong I am?"

"Even if peak Michael Jordan came today, the Lakers couldn't beat the Celtics!"

When Kobe heard Lin Yu's trash talk, he was not polite at all.

"Then I'll beat the Celtics and show you!"

"Kobe, not everyone is Michael. Michael can use guards to suppress all inside players in an era when inside players are king, but can you do it?"

"Admit it! If there is anyone who really dominates this era, it is Duncan and Shaq. Of course, their reign is about to end!"

How dominant are Duncan and Shark?

In the original history, it was from Michael Jordan's second retirement to 2007.

Duncan and Shaq each have four championships and three FMVPs.

The Pistons won the championship in 2004.

Such dominance...it is no exaggeration to say that if the Spurs or the Lakers were in the Eastern Conference, the two teams would be in the East and the West respectively.

Since Jordan retired, basically no one else has a role in the finals.

Even Kobe during this period was suppressed by Duncan and Shark.

When Kobe heard Lin Yu's words, his face darkened.

But Kobe didn't refute this time.

Because as Lin Yu said, Duncan and Shark's strength and dominance are indeed irrefutable.

Even Kobe wanted to surpass the two of them.

But we must demonstrate the corresponding dominance and gain the corresponding honors.

Otherwise it's just empty talk!
"Kobe received the ball and started to attack. I have to say Dayu's defense was really airtight."

"In this shot, Dayu made good use of his wingspan advantage to interfere with Kobe's shot."

"Kobe Bryant shot from behind, and Dayu's fingers touched the basketball. Although he didn't block the shot, he still interfered with the trajectory of the basketball."

"It's a shame that Kobe missed the shot, but I have to say that Dayu's wingspan is really exaggerated!"

Coach Zhang felt regretful and sighed.

Lin Yu and Kobe are both made of flesh and blood.

In the game on the court, the Celtics have suppressed the Lakers.

call!
Kobe looked at Lin Yu in front of him, and his breathing began to quicken.

Kobe fought with the Celtics for three quarters. Even a physical freak like him had consumed a lot of energy at this time.

"Kobe, I know you are a tough guy, but that's why I won't give you the chance to kill the game!"

Lin Yu directly adopted a tight defense against Kobe to prevent Kobe from catching the ball.

Kobe did not show any weakness and started to fight back directly.

bump!
bump!
The two men's muscles kept colliding. Kobe wanted to push Lin Yu away to receive the ball, while Lin Yu wanted to hold Kobe tightly and prevent him from catching the ball.

Although Hardaway is difficult to defend against speed-type guards.

But for a short and strong guard like Fisher, it should be no problem for him to defend.

Facing Hardaway's defense, Fisher began to hesitate about how to pass the ball.

As the offensive time was ticking away, Kobe was still unable to break free from Lin Yu's defense.

Fisher hesitated for a moment and finally chose to pass the ball to Odom on the wing.

After Odom received the ball, Thomas was also very rude.

Although Thomas' reputation is not as bad as that of Bruce Bowen, the "crippled foot".

But it's easy to imagine that a player with the reputation of 'Dirty Kurt' is not a good person.

Odom tried to break through with the ball, but was hit by an elbow from Kurt Thomas.

Odom finally made it to the basket, but Thomas pulled him down.

bump!
Beep!
Odom fell heavily to the ground, and the referee's whistle sounded. After Odom stood up, he looked at Kurt Thomas with an angry face.

When Kurt Thomas saw this, he responded directly without any hesitation.

"Why do you still want to fight, Lamar? When I was dominating the alliance, you were still sucking my milk!"

Kurt Thomas is indeed a veteran player in the league.

He was also one of the Knicks players who created the black eight miracle and made it to the finals.

Kobe then said, "Kurt, you'd better be gentle with my people."

"Kobe, I'll give you a favor, but next time, I'll make Lamar pay!"

Odom walked to the free throw line, and when old Buss on the sidelines saw this, his face looked very ugly.

"This kind of thing requires the star player to step in. Maybe we should find a player for Kobe who can do the dirty work."

During the two consecutive championship periods, the Lakers did look for players for Kobe, such as Artest and Matt Barnes.

Specialized to help Kobe deal with this kind of thing.

They go to fight.

After all, the impact of a superstar suspension and an ordinary player suspension is different.

Bang!

When old Buss saw Odom miss the first free throw, he shook his head helplessly.

At this time, there were 1 minute and 19 seconds left until the end of the third quarter.

The Lakers are already 13 points behind the Celtics.

The Celtics have been helped by Lin Yu this season.

The team achieved a defensive efficiency second only to the Pistons, Spurs and Pacers, three strong defensive teams.

Even for Kobe, it would be difficult to make up for such a score gap.

Not to mention, the Celtics also have Lin Yu at this time!
Then old Buss said to the magician beside him: "Erwin, please send me away first!"

The magician was also stunned when he heard what Old Bass said, then he nodded, stood up and left with Old Bass.

On the way, Buss was the first to speak: "Ervin, do you think I should find some helpers for Kobe now, or wait a while?"

The magician knew that old Buss was thinking about a trade.

"Mr. Buss, to be honest, I don't think the Lakers have much hope this season.

The magician didn't say anything else, but his meaning was clear.

Even if a trade is made now, the Lakers will not be able to compete for the championship.

In fact, old Buss had the same idea, although Kobe was very strong at that time.

But Kobe has one biggest problem, he is not mature enough!
This is not about technique, it's more about mentality and being a team leader.

Not every player, after entering the league, is an ultimate player like Duncan.

This is how Kobe's growth path turned out in history.

He started from the bench, became the team leader, and finally led the team to win the championship.

"We should find a helper for Kobe, but the Lakers' reconstruction cannot be completed in one or two days."

For a powerhouse like the Lakers, rebuilding would not be considered a success if they don't win a championship.

After Old Bass finished speaking, he quickened his pace to leave.

In the Staples Center, with the departure of old Buss and Magic Johnson.

After the start of the fourth quarter, the Lakers were unable to save the defeat.

hum!
As the timer ticked down, the Celtics defeated the Lakers 102:90.

科比全场30投13中，三分球6中2，罚球7中5，砍下33分5助攻4篮板。

林禹全场24投14中，三分球5中3，罚球6中5，砍下36分12篮板7助攻数据。
