Chapter 100 Hard Battle

"Bryant became the first player to score 50 points in the new season."

"Five points failed to win, Kobe broke the record again."

"The Lakers lost two consecutive losses, who else besides Kobe?"

Kobe irritatedly opened the office door, "Why, are you here to tell me the result of the transaction? Where did I get traded?"

Kupchek understands Kobe's restlessness. After all, the management promised to pursue Yao Ming with all his might in the summer, but he didn't expect that the Rockets would send McGrady away to correct Yao Ming in the end. Their plan failed completely. Kobe, who lacked helpers, has made it clear that if the team still has no action, he can trade him to a competitive team. He no longer wants to stay in the Lakers.

"We have made great progress in Yao's deal, but we didn't expect it." Bus Jr. said heavily. This summer, the Lakers wasted a lot of energy in negotiations with the Rockets, so that they almost accomplished nothing except for the minor repair and small make-up. It's no wonder Kobe was excited.

Kobe pinched his eyebrows and said nothing. He regretted ignoring Garnett's show of kindness. In the summer, Garnett announced his departure, he communicated with Kobe's agent, but Kobe knew that Garnett was never willing to be a deputy, and he favored Yao Ming more than Garnett. Unfortunately, he not only did not get Yao Ming's help, but also lost Garnett, which made him feel very frustrated.

"Don't worry, ko, we will do our best to bring you help. We have many goals and we have common ambitions to revive the Lakers, so don't be discouraged. Believe us, time will not be far away." Buss Jr. said sincerely to Kobe.

Kobe sighed, "Follow you." He got up and left the office and returned to the training ground. Kobe was too lazy to insult and stimulate these teammates in training. Kobe himself knew that he was numb to failure, which was also the reason why he longed to compete for the championship. It was difficult to get back the feeling of victory after becoming a weak person.

Kobe was discouraged when he looked at Bynum, who was smiling with Odom on the court. He trained rookies and waited for growth. However, this young guy was completely devoid of his spirit at that time. Bynum was not recognized by Kobe, in terms of strength or personality, but Kobe actually found that he was indifferent, which was not a good phenomenon.

Kobe knew what situation the Lakers would fall into if he even gave up chasing victory. He tried hard to adjust his expression and return to his strict face and walked onto the court.

"That's how you train? It's soft like toilet paper? I know why I lost the game. You guys play like poop and have a smile on their faces?"

"Are we going to train in tears?" Bynum said angrily.

Kobe stared at him silently. Bynum felt the change in the atmosphere and finally apologized and said, "My fault will not be next time." Then he cursed silently in his heart, "You bastard, sooner or later, I will drive you out."

Kobe took a deep breath and "Continue." This feeling called loneliness is about to kill his competitive spirit. He needs help. He wants a championship, but he doesn't want to lose anymore. He is willing to give everything for the championship.

Rose Garden Arena.

Li Zheng appeared in the stadium on time, and all the Trail Blazers players were surprised because with Li Zheng's relationship with the management coach and Li Zheng's privileges, he could give himself a vacation and find his girlfriend who was working hard in New York to be happy, instead of accompanying them, the strong men, to continue training for life.

"What expression? Don't you welcome me?" Li Zheng's strong muscles supported the vest, and Randolph poked the fat on his arm. It seemed that it would be quite difficult to practice like that.

"I thought you had arrived in New York." Roy threw the ball to Li Zheng. After receiving the ball, Li Zheng directly carried the ball without any adjustments. The ball was extremely fast and the ball could always fall steadily in the palm of his hand. Li Zheng flipped the ball back and took a three-pointer and made a sprint in one go, hitting the shot accurately outside the three-point line two steps.

McMillan walked to the team with applause. He looked at Li Zheng with satisfaction. He was willing to give the young leader full score. Without anyone compulsory request, Li Zheng did not choose to enjoy himself but chose to advance and retreat with the team. Only such a player can be called a leader.

"Continue training, don't play too well without me." Li Zheng said jokingly.

"Your starting lineup will be gone when you come back." Roy said with a smile, and began to run around the basketball court to warm up. The Trail Blazers player held back his smile and followed Roy. Li Zheng was not there, Roy was the leader of the Trail Blazers.

Li Zheng followed the team at the end of the team. Although he lost the sweet holiday with Taylor, he received recognition and respect from his teammates. This pioneers are undergoing wonderful changes. Although they are invisible and intangible, a trait called unity is transforming the team.

Li Zheng attended the next night when the Trail Blazers played against the Rockets at home. Before the game, Li Zheng and Yao Ming greeted each other with his chest. Yao Ming did not forget to praise his new teammate during his conversation with Li Zheng.

Li Zheng knew that this was a tough game. Outside defenses like Bathir, Prince, and Billups could make the defenders' scalp tingle just by listening to the name. The Rockets only lacked a power forward who could do dirty work and tiring work, or a defensive small forward similar to Prince, and then completely raised Prince to the fourth position. Now the inside combination of Scola and Yao Ming is obviously strong in offense and weak in defense.

Although Yao Ming has a certain ability to protect the frame, Yao Ming lacks the ability to defend the pick-and-roll. This is also the conclusion that Li Zheng and McMillan discussed. If you want to win the Rockets Trail Blazers, you must play the pick-and-roll well. As for defending Yao Ming, Li Zheng feels that this can only be left to God's will.

The fact is just as Li Zheng expected, the pick-and-roll of the Trail Blazers brought considerable trouble to the Rockets. Roy attacked Yao Ming without hesitation. It was not sensible to defender challenge Yao Ming, but the Trail Blazers were at a disadvantage and had to use strange moves to win. In the first quarter, Yao Ming took two fouls and left the field early. The Trail Blazers led 28-24 in the first quarter.

The problem with the Rockets is that they really rely on Yao Ming on the offensive end. After losing Yao Ming, Billups' clever wife is hard to cook without rice. He can't say it's bad for passing the ball, but the Rockets are difficult to face the defense of the Trail Blazers players and the Trail Blazers' defense is also airtight.

The situation reversed in the second half. Adelman raised Prince to the fourth position again, replaced Scola, and played a combination of a big and four small group. The change was immediate. Yao Ming no longer needed to meet Roy's challenge. Bathir and Prince both had strong pick-and-roll ability. Yao Ming only needed to squat in the inside almost the whole time. It was difficult for Randolph and Pritzbila to stably eat Yao Ming.

On the offensive end, Billups can always feed the ball to Yao Ming in various tricky ways. Yao Ming, who received the ball in the penalty area, fully demonstrated what it means to be indissoluble. Pulpzbila was 6 fouls, Randolph 4 fouls, and Aldridge 4 fouls. Yao Ming educated all the Trail Blazers inside.

With 41 points, 18 rebounds and 5 blocks, the Rockets won the game 98-84 and won four consecutive victories. Li Zheng had no choice but to congratulate Yao Ming. He was also fed a big meal by Yao Ming, and he could only say that his life is currently defeating the entire line.
