Bulldozer of the NBA’s Restricted Area

June 5th was the first game of the Finals, and the Lakers on the 4th were not training too hard because their opponent was not that strong. At least Li Shengli didn’t pay too much attention to it. He just maintained his physical condition and then practiced with Artest. Madsen was watching while practicing counter-elbow strikes, but Kobe and several teammates were sweating while taking a break during training.

"The two of them are...really violent!" Fisher patted Kobe, handed him a bottle of water, and sat together. "Don't you usually hate teammates who don't train seriously? Both of them are If they don’t practice well, what, do you want to teach them a lesson?”

Teach them a lesson?

An old Li and an Artest, you want me to teach them a lesson?

Damn it, Fisher, what kind of bad intentions do you have?

Kobe rolled his eyes and really cursed in his heart... But what Fisher said is not wrong. He just looks down on people who are talented but lazy in training. Instead, he likes people who train hard regardless of their ability. Teammate, and this is also the reason why he had a good relationship with Crotty in the first place.

…

Is there a clear line between likes and dislikes?

Kobe has thought this way for a long time. Whether it is a game or daily training, he always expresses his preferences in this way, and at the same time he also demands this of himself. This is probably the result of several teammates, including those in the past few years. , everyone thinks he has a weird personality, is paranoid, and is not easy to communicate with.

But what if... Lao Li doesn't train seriously?

Kobe felt that he might have violated his principles, because after being recruited to the Lakers by West, he met Lao Li for the first time. In his impression, Lao Li was like this...well, he looked like a ghost. He didn't say how serious he was in training, but he could play. , He is particularly good at fighting, and it is difficult for him to say anything.

…

In fact, essentially, the longer people spend time together, the more conflicts there will be.

For example, if you lose a ball in a game or don't cooperate well, you will argue a few words; another example is if I want to go east and you want to go west on the bench, and you have a disagreement and argue; anyway, there is a lot of contact, and there will be awkwardness. Things are inevitable.

But Kobe thinks about it carefully...

No matter how much diarrhea everyone played in the game, Lao Li seemed to have never blushed with everyone, not even once. Instead, he helped his teammates stop the diarrhea by giving him a slap, and this made him really convinced. In the end, At least he can't do it. Evening the disadvantage is okay, but this kind of mentality is really not good.

You must know that when a person stands in a high position, he will unconsciously have a desire to control.

Kobe felt that the same was true for himself... Before, when his statistics were not good and he was still young, he just focused on his own training and had no right to blame his teammates. Now that his statistics are exploding, his status has risen, and his qualifications are sufficient, so he can't help but complain. A few lazy teammates are no different from superstar players in the league.

However, the Lao Li in his impression was different from everyone else.

He has enough restraint to control negative emotions, and he has enough ability to lead the team to win the game. Although he is usually picky and picky, he has a really good temper and everyone likes to rely on him. But it can be said that Lao Li is a good old man... Kobe doesn't think so either. After all, the proportion of casualties in Lao Li's hands is almost as high as that of the evil Karl Malone.

Maybe this is the charisma of a true leader?

In fact, when he first started playing, as a high school rookie, he was young and energetic. He once thought about soaring into the sky and surpassing Lao Li to become the boss, but the problem was... he lost his temper after a while.

Even if the data is keeping up now?

However, the perception formed in the early stages of his career was like a bird that had just hatched out of its shell, and everyone he met looked like his own mother. This made it difficult for him to compete in terms of status, and also made him feel that Lao Li was like himself... ...just like half-brothers, but this feeling was a bit embarrassing to talk about. He had never said it. After all, it was indeed strange for two grown men to express their feelings to each other.

…

You can fight anything and dare to do anything!

He seems like a good guy, but if you think about it, he doesn't seem like a good guy at all.

Kobe was absolutely convinced of Lao Li in his impression. This point... He was even better than Jordan and never let him have this idea. So when Fisher encouraged him to quarrel with Lao Li, he didn't beat him. Sher was always polite.

Let me talk about Lao Li and cause internal strife?

Damn you...traitor of the Los Angeles Lakers and undercover agent of the New Jersey Nets!

Ignoring Fisher, Kobe just sat and rested without talking, and waited for a while... Li Shengli and Artest's more playful confrontation training was over, and Madsen, whose eyes were shining brightly, He took notes in a small notebook and wrote an article summarizing the battle experience of the strongest man on the planet.

"Mark, you have to study hard!"

"I'm studying!"

"Well, this is a summary of the boss's ten years of skills. The secret of elbow strikes... small elbows should be hidden, big elbows can kill people. Los Angeles Lakers, never suffer losses! Oh, by the way, I am studying this recently, you have time You can delve into it with me.”

Artest was educating Madsen, as long as it had something to do with game training, but when the conversation went off topic and walked to the sidelines, Fisher sweated and ran away first with an excuse. Kobe felt like... NBA Like a boxing league?

"Mark, you can continue training, Ron, please stop talking nonsense!" Kobe scolded.

"Well, why can't you speak? Do you also want to learn?" Artest scratched his head, thought for a while and replied: "But it's okay to learn. You are also a player with superstar-level statistics now. There must be many people." If I want to step on you, I might as well learn a few more tricks and defend myself without hitting them."

Damn it, uncle!

Kobe thought about it...According to your urinary behavior, damn, if you really want to step on me, will it be my turn? If something really happened, how could you gangsters not rush around to cause trouble like you were just eating honey?

"Li, really, you should have beaten Ron to death in the first place. Look, now he has ruined the morale of our team!"

"Damn, Kobe, I usually help you so much, but you said that to me in front of me. My heart is broken!"

"Okay, you two shut up." Li Shengli grabbed Artest, and the three of them sat on the sidelines with Kobe. Kobe glanced at Li Shengli and thought of something... It seemed like this time The finals are not so boring, because this is Li Shengli's tenth year in the league.

…

Maybe even Kobe himself can't truly feel the glory of Li Shengli in these ten years.

To be honest, it is always there, that is, the superstars of the Jordan generation in the 1990s can feel this pressure, because in the nine years before Li Shengli...six championships in nine years.

The Jazz won two championships in two years, and the Lakers won four championships in five years!

Even in the three years without a championship, two of them were defeated in the finals. One was Jordan's Bulls, and the other was O'Neal's Celtics. This epic achievement is likely to happen this year. Go one step further and reach the level of 7 championships in 10 years.
