Staples Center at 5 pm on the 6th.

The sound of basketballs rubbing the net, smashing the frame, and hitting the boards one after another. The Lakers are conducting shooting training.

They will face the Memphis Grizzlies tonight. Although the opponent's record in the new season is only 1 win and 4 losses, and their strength seems to be relatively weak in terms of data, because Bynum has symptoms of swelling knees after returning from Houston, he needs to take a game off to observe for safety reasons. It is difficult for the inside to deal with Randolph and Mark Gasol, and it may be difficult to win.

Li Zhe was so easy to do, he rushed to the stadium early and rarely arrived first before Kobe. When other players arrived one after another, he had completed more than 500 shots. According to staff statistics, the shooting rate was nearly 82%.

Swish!

Li Zhe hit another hollow three-pointer, breathed a sigh of relief, took off his sweaty training shirt, and walked to the bench to sit down.

He picked up a bottle of mineral water and was about to tilt his head to drink when a huge cheer suddenly came from the direction of the technical station. He subconsciously turned his head to check and found several people gathered together, excitedly taking various funny photos.

At this time, ordinary fans have not been opened to enter the court. In addition to media coming in to film and interview, the special person who can enter the court early must be a special person. However, he has not known anyone for a long time and immediately turned around to drink water.

"Fan." Walton walked to Li Zhe and sat down, and picked up a bottle of water.

"Who?" Li Zhe asked.

"The youngest one is Zach Efron. He has acted in singing and dancing before," Walton raised his hand and pointed at the technical station. "Speaking of it, he had a basketball-related movie in the first half of the year called Return to the age of seventeen. Have you ever seen it?"

"The middle-aged uncle encountered a divorce crisis and suddenly became a young man. Who would join the school basketball team?"

"Yes, I think it's quite interesting. If I could return to my 17th year of physical condition, I'll go to the party right away..."

"Tell me the point, don't think about it..."

"Well, that's Jesse Jackson, that's George Lopez, they're all here to see Kobe tonight."

"That's it... I thought there was something big." Li Zhe suddenly felt bored. After all, Kobe has too many celebrity fans, and these people have relatively small cards. Maybe he should take advantage of the popularity in the opposite direction.

"That's not... In this game tonight, Kobe has the opportunity to surpass Chamberlain to become the youngest 24,000-point gentleman in history. Apart from these people, there are big names to come to the scene later. They all bought tickets in advance, and the stars are everywhere tonight."

"So that's it... Kobe is indeed a good match, and his appeal is so strong." Li Zhe sighed sincerely.

"You will be the same in a few years. Your fans will become even more crazy. A bottle of water you have ever drunk can be sold at a high price." Walton joked.

"What's the situation?" Li Zhe was slightly confused.

Walton shrugged: "I read the news before I scored the stadium and found out that the bottle of water you drank during an interview after defeating the Rockets was already captured by someone for $3,000. The buyer was Elena Sardin, who you invited to participate in the bowling game before. She didn't buy your original jersey last time, so she directly bought the original mineral water this time."

"How do you... know it's her?" Li Zhe was completely confused.

"She posted it on Twitter." Walton spread his hands, "I want me to tell you, this is obvious. You have two girlfriends anyway, so there is no problem with one more, what do you think?"

"Breaking nonsense... Kobe is still a few points short of completing his goal, I want to give him an assist in person." Li Zhe changed the topic.

"It's quite a bit, it seems like it's going to be 45 points." Walton recalled in a blink of an eye. "Originally, based on his previous average of 25 points, he could have secured the milestone tonight, but he was missing due to the flu in the last game..."

"That's quite difficult..." Li Zhe looked up at the stadium and found that Kobe hadn't come yet.

"Yes, Paul and Andrew are absent at the same time, it's hard for us to resist the Grizzlies' inside line, and the pace of the game will slow down. It's not easy to get high scores, unless the shooting percentage is extremely high, but you also know Kobe's shooting..." Walton curled his lips.

"I'll think of a solution." Li Zhe put down the water bottle, stood up and walked into the stadium.

…

After another 100 consecutive shots, the time came to 5:20, and he and Walton left the court and went to the video hall.

Passing by the player passage, I met Nicholson walking into the stadium with a bottle of wine.

As soon as he said hello, Nicholson shouted at him: "You can score fewer points tonight and pass more to Kobe."

Li Zhe nodded in agreement and began to think about how to give more assists.

After rushing to the video hall, I didn't sit for a while, except Kobe, the coaching staff and other players arrived.

It's still Brian Xiao's lecture.

First, we analyze the Grizzlies' offense, with Randolph and Mark Gasol as the axes, playing high pick-and-roll with Mayo and Conley. We have a strong ability to hit the rim and rarely make three-pointers. We rank seventh in the league in the first five games, and we are particularly efficient.

The Lakers' two inside starters were absent in this game, and it was very difficult to deal with it.

Fortunately, the Grizzlies have very poor defense ability from the outside.

First of all, Conley is short and has a light weight, and is easily targeted.

Secondly, Mayo's pace is too slow and his height is shorter than other shooting guards. When he encounters an opponent who can stop shooting, he is basically a scumbag. Thirdly, Randolph and Gasol are too heavy to delay at high positions.

Rudy Guy has a figure and athletic ability, but lacks defensive experience and is often shaken up. Sometimes he is not focused enough, and can easily get rid of a run without cover.

The three-point unification resulted in the Grizzlies ranking sixth in the league in averaging points, so they lost more than they won.

Brian Shaw finally summarized: When encountering Mark Gasol and Randolph on the defensive end, the double-team frequency can be increased. The offensive end can be mainly attacked Conley and Mayo, and when assisting defense, it is necessary to quickly transfer the ball.

After the video analysis meeting, everyone returned to the locker room and found that Kobe had finally arrived.

Li Zhe specifically mentioned the 24,000 points. Kobe said it didn't matter and emphasized that winning is the main goal. The record will be broken by others sooner or later, but a win or loss may be related to the home advantage of the playoffs, which will affect the title.

After receiving such a reply, Li Zhe gave up thinking and decided to fight as he should.

Soon, many teammates finished packing and headed to the stadium, with only a few people left in the locker room.

Li Zhe wrapped his ankles and was about to leave, but he saw Jim Bass and Kupchek, bringing Nicholson and Wahlberg and other stars in. They rushed towards Kobe, asking whether the flu was cured and were very concerned.

Thinking that it had nothing to do with him, Li Zhe continued to walk out, but was stopped by a star who couldn't name it.

"You must pass the goal of Kobe's 45 points. In addition to representing the Lakers' heritage, it is our biggest wish tonight. Don't shoot wildly by yourself, remember to assist more."

Several people laughed when they heard this, but Li Zhe was a little unhappy. This was completely treating him as a child.

Fortunately, Kobe shook his head repeatedly: "He is not only one of the best point guards in the NBA, but also a responsible adult. It is more important to know what is more important. Don't talk nonsense. If you feel a little drunk, hurry up and sit on the sidelines and watch him perform."

Hearing this, Li Zhe felt very relieved and began to think about how to achieve the best of all the worlds, which can ensure that Kobe won and scored 45 points, and he can also experience the feeling of being 20 assists.
Chapter completed!
