When he was young, Kobe was a very paranoid and even somewhat willful player. He would never tolerate anything he was unhappy with.
Even for a dominant center like O'Neal, he resolutely resisted to the end and won the final victory.
During this time, he has been watching Andrew Bynum act like a monster. At first, he kept silent for the sake of team unity. After all, he is the team leader and has many things to consider.
However, Bynum became more and more unscrupulous.
He took action.
Before the game against the New Jersey Nets.
Kobe Bryant asked Andrew Bynum in front of everyone in the locker room: "After these games, how do you feel about your recovery?"
Bynum smiled and said: "Very good, I recovered very well."
"But I don't think you're recovering well. You should rest." Kobe said rudely: "I'm not referring to your physical strength or your skills. It's your brain. You haven't adapted to our new game.
So, in this game, you sit on the bench and watch us play, learn more, and find a suitable opportunity to adapt."
What?
Bynum didn't respond. He asked, "Why?"
"Because I don't want to end the regular season with a defeat." Kobe told Bynum clearly.
Bynum was frozen like this.
He used his eyes to seek Phil Jackson's opinion. Generally speaking, it is not the player's authority to decide whether a player can play, especially whether a core player can play, and the coach will consider it a provocation.
However, Phil Jackson ignored Andrew Bynum's eyes asking for help.
This is what the Zen Master thinks.
Even if Kobe Bryant doesn't bring it up, Jackson will let him sit on the bench.
Since Bynum's comeback, Phil Jackson has been waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to show off his power to Bynum.
Six consecutive losses.
He waited.
He originally planned to put Bynum on the bench for this game.
However, Kobe Bryant stood up and became the villain.
So, what else would Phil Jackson say?
Of course, the years have been quiet and he has stood unswervingly behind his beloved 'Jack Fan'.
Bynum never dreamed that the team's two powerful figures, Kobe Bryant and Phil Jackson, would already be in the same shape as Fanci.
Bynum originally thought that after his return, he would at least be treated as a core insider. Not to mention stabilizing Fan Xi, it was guaranteed to keep pace with him.
However, however.
…
The New Jersey Nets are coming aggressively. Deron Williams wants to challenge Fanci in a one-on-one game.
However, Fan Xi did not tangle with him.
The playoffs are coming, and what he is thinking about now is different from Deron Williams.
Deron Williams still wants to defeat Fanci in a one-on-one match. It would be best to shake Fanci out of the court until his head is covered in blood.
However, Fan Xi was already thinking about higher-dimensional things.
Neither Deron nor his Nets have a chance to make the playoffs.
Without Bynum, this game became extremely easy. Kobe was the main attacker, Fanci was on the wing to provide secondary attack and connection, and Pau Gasol was an important axis in the paint area.
The game lost suspense very quickly.
Although Deron Williams tried his best to kill Fanshie, even when they were duel, Deron did not achieve much benefit.
His physical fitness has declined significantly, although Fan Xi really can't defend him.
But he couldn't defend Fan Xi either.
The two of them were in a situation where they were at odds with each other.
In the third quarter, Deron Williams was almost knocked down by Fanshie with a back-turn.
139:89.
The Lakers ended their 2010-2011 regular season with a 50-point massacre.
In this game, the Lakers showed their long-lost dominance.
Kobe Bryant scored 39 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists in the game.
Pau Gasol scored 28 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists in the game.
Fan Xi scored 19 points, 13 assists, 10 rebounds, 3 steals and 1 block in the game.
Samsung shines in the city of angels.
The media hailed the Lakers as kings and they were back.
50 points also set a record for the largest point difference this season.
Lakers fans are once again confident about the upcoming playoffs.
At this time, the most embarrassing person is Andrew Bynum.
He was originally full of grievances and wanted to complain to the media.
But now, he is here, losing six games in a row, but without him, it is a 50-point massacre.
Lakers fans were clamoring for him to continue recuperating from his injury.
If he comes out and says anything again, people will think him a fool.
He is now worried that the coaching staff will no longer let him play from now on and will leave him on the bench.
After all, after the game, he came home and saw an enthusiastic Phil Jackson on the TV.
Zen Master said with a smile on his face: "We didn't make any adjustments in this game. We just let the players return to their positions, and then everything happened naturally."
At this time, some media in Los Angeles asked Zen Master: Why didn't Andrew Bynum play? Was he injured again? Or was it that he had never adapted to Jack's style of play after joining, so why not just leave him on the bench?
Faced with such a problem, the Zen master could have smoothed things over.
But he didn't.
Because in his heart, Bynum is no longer that important.
"I believe in Andrew, he is a very, very smart and very talented player. He will definitely find a way to integrate."
Phil Jackson confirmed media speculation.
Bynum was devastated in front of the TV.
He was really frustrated.
Then, Phil Jackson on TV talked to the media about the format of the playoffs.
It's as if Bynum didn't take it to heart at all.
In fact, reporters didn't care much about this matter. They were more concerned about the playoffs.
…
As the Lakers won the last game, their final regular season record was locked in third place in the Western Conference. The teams ahead of them were the San Antonio Spurs and the Dallas Mavericks.
The teams behind them are: Oklahoma City Thunder, Denver Nuggets, Portland Trail Blazers, New Orleans Hornets, Memphis Grizzlies.
According to playoff rules.
The four opponents in the first round of the Western Conference are: the first-ranked San Antonio Spurs versus the eighth-ranked Memphis Grizzlies.
The second-ranked Dallas Mavericks face off against the seventh-ranked New Orleans Hornets.
The third-ranked Los Angeles Lakers face off against the sixth-ranked Portland Trail Blazers.
The fourth-ranked Oklahoma City Thunder faced off against the fifth-ranked Denver Nuggets.
The difference between the strength of the top half and the bottom half of the Western Conference is not very clear. Many people think that this year there will be a situation where the top is defeated.
Fan Xi saw in the newspaper that an ESPN columnist swore that the Hornets led by Chris Paul had a high probability of defeating the Mavericks.
It's all true.
After Fan Xi saw it, she felt it was ridiculous.
He recognized the strength of the Mavericks very much. He even felt that the Mavericks were this year's biggest opponent. If he wanted to break out of the Western Conference, he must defeat the Mavericks.
In fact, if the Lakers defeat the Trail Blazers and advance to the second round, their opponent will be the Mavericks or Hornets.
call!
Fanshi studies Portland Trail Blazers game videos every day.
The Portland Trail Blazers are kind of like a mini-Lakers.
The core player of the Trail Blazers is Brandon Roy, who was a rookie in 2006. Since he became the leader of the Trail Blazers, the Trail Blazers have made the playoffs for three consecutive years.
Many people call him the Yellow Mamba, because he is as dangerous as Kobe at critical moments. He once defeated the Rockets in the playoffs with 0.8 seconds, covering Yao Shuan's previous victory, and in that series
The game ended the Houston Rockets' dream of taking another step forward.
After watching a lot of videos of the Trail Blazers, Fan Xi felt that Roy was not like Kobe. Although his playing style was somewhat similar, in fact, he was more like the outside version of Tim Duncan.
He has solid basic skills, a high golf quotient, a rigid expression, and no mood swings.
However, he has serious injury risks. He had knee surgery in high school and played four years at the University of Washington before joining the NBA. He is considered an advanced rookie.
Fanshey even thought that if Brandon Roy was not injured and he entered the NBA in a completely healthy state, how terrifying he would be.
Maybe he will really reach the heights of Duncan on the outside.
Another core player of the Trail Blazers was also the 2006 rookie, No. 2 overall pick Aldridge.
He is an All-Star power forward with a good shooting ability, a certain rebounding ability, and a star with a stable personality.
In addition, this season they also added an outside energy bucket on the wing.
Gerald Wallace.
Gerald Wallace is a death-defying player. He plays like a desperate man. He once served as a leader for the Bobcats. But in fact, he is more suitable for flank attack and iron-blooded defense.
In addition, their center is Marcus Camby. Camby is an elite-level inside lineman who is proficient in defense.
There are also Batum, Matthews, Fernandez and other good players.
Fanshie's direct opponent is Andre Miller.
Andre Miller is a point guard whose strength outweighs his fame. He is known for his strength and stability.
When Fan Xi met him for the first time, she thought he looked a lot like Mo Wenwei, a Chinese female star.
However, he is a meticulous commander.
He has played in many teams, and he is the tactical map of the league.
When he was with the Denver Nuggets, although Carmelo Anthony was the nominal leader, in fact, without him, the Nuggets would not have been able to enter the playoffs.
Then, he was sent to the Philadelphia 76ers as a bargaining chip in the Iverson trade.
The Denver Nuggets were overjoyed to have acquired Allen Iverson to form a golden duo. However, Andre Miller quietly turned the 76ers into a playoff team in Philadelphia, but the Nuggets were quickly reduced to nothing.
This is a very difficult opponent.
Moreover, the older he gets, the more demonic he becomes.
Kobe Bryant was a little worried about Fanci. He sent Fanci many tactical manuals and even asked Gary Payton to call Fanci.
Gary Payton is the ancestor of the strong defensive point guard. He once fought against Jordan and was a super point guard in the 1990s.
In terms of seniority, according to their school, Andre Miller has to call Gary Payton a master.
Gary Payton gave Fanci a lot of experience in dealing with Andre Miller, but he believed that Fanci should strengthen the confrontation. If Fanci's confrontation is not strong enough, in the playoffs, even if he gets these experiences, it will not help and he will still be defeated.
Andre Miller was crushed.
This made Fan Xi full of crisis.
With the end of the regular season, various awards in the league are gradually released.
Charles Barkley has been running around for Fan Xi recently. Although he is a loudmouthed person, he keeps his promises.
He has been shouting for Fan Xi on TV. Even though he dislikes Fan Xi very much, he is really promoting that Fan Xi should be the best rookie this year.
He is an influential person who deflects public opinion in the media.
And before the Rookie of the Year award is officially announced.
Fanci entered the All-Rookie Team.
Fanci, John Wall, and Blake Griffin all made the All-Rookie team, along with Fields and Cousins, who defeated Bynum in Sacramento.
Cousins is a particularly interesting person. He is a college alumnus of John Wall.
Therefore, he publicly appealed in the media: "Why can't Jack and John win the Rookie of the Year award at the same time? It's not like there is no such practice in history."
"Jason Kidd and Grant Hill both shared this trophy."
Cousins himself had never thought about getting involved with this trophy. He had received too many technical fouls this season. As a player with a bad temper, he never thought about getting official recognition.
Moreover, in terms of data, he is indeed inferior to Griffin, Fancy and John Wall.
Fan Xi is actually not very interested in the Best Rookie trophy. On the contrary, Lu Yuan is very active. He believes that any trophy can increase Fan Xi's value.
He also said: "Yao Ming has never won the Rookie of the Year award. If you win it, you will be the first person in China and the first person in Asia. In this way, I can pat my chest and tell them when discussing cooperation with domestic sponsors.
, Fan Xi is better than Yao Ming!"
Fan Xi smiled bitterly and shook his head. He was speechless towards Lu Yuan.
But at the same time, I feel that Lu Yuan is indeed a qualified agent.
Lu Yuan has secured many unique cooperations for him, and now even his teammates are asking him if Lu Yuan can also become their agent.
However, Lu Yuan was not very interested in becoming Dunleavy's agent. He put his eyes on it and said: The price-performance ratio is not high. Dunleavy just wanted me to help him get a contract extension with an annual salary of tens of millions.
At the same time, Lu Yuan also told Fan Xi: "I think you can recruit Dunleavy in the playoffs. He wants data now, and he will definitely listen to you."
Fan Xi just smiled.
The Rookie of the Year award is announced at 8 a.m. two days before the start of the playoffs.
