My Name is Kobe Bryant

Chapter 539: Three consecutive customers from Texas! Nash's growth

"Hey, boss. Now the newspapers think that we are the favorites to win this year's championship."

After the Lakers beat the Warriors, Harris announced the team had a holiday the next day.

But there are still a large number of players who came to the training hall to train under the influence of Kobe. Kobe's original words were: "We only played half a game, and we still need to rest? I don't need to retire like this when I am 38 years old!"

The Lakers players were amused by the words of the 19-year-old Kobe, and a strong old-fashioned tone came out of Kobe's mouth, and there was always an inexplicable sense of joy.

Except for some veterans, most of the Lakers players continued to participate in spontaneous training. In the locker room, Xiaoyu read a newspaper to Kobe who was undergoing physical therapy.

"That's it! Don't look at what kind of performance we played!" Garivetti gave Kobe physical therapy while bragging about the performance of the Lakers in recent games.

Gary Vitti, who has experienced the SHOWTIME era, clearly knows that the current Lakers' offense is definitely not worse than SHOWTIME! And the defense is even stronger!

SHOWTIME only has offense, and defense has always been mediocre. And this Lakers team is historical in terms of offense and defense! It is not surprising that such a fantastic performance to start the game has attracted the attention of a large number of fans and commentators.

Kobe kept smiling, there is no need to be too restrained at this time! The self-confidence of a king made Kobe accept these praises frankly.

The Lakers are the favorites to win the league championship!

The Lakers are the strongest this year!

This year! I just want to win!

On the way to win the championship, no matter the flowers or thorns, I am happy to accept it!

This is the heart of a king.

"I'm going to Dallas tomorrow. I've never won a Texas three-game streak." Xiaoyu muttered a proverb among NBA players.

The three teams in Texas, Mavericks, Spurs, and Houston, have never been weak teams in history. As is the custom in Texas grit, all three teams have maintained a cowboy-like identity. They have been down many times in history, but it won't be long before they stand up again.

Although the ball market is not big, the local support rate in Texas has always been very high! This gives them a clear home field advantage.

The NBA has always designed the schedule to arrange adjacent teams to play together, so the Texas three-game streak has become a nightmare for many teams.

"Dallas, the difference between Los Angeles and Los Angeles is really big!"

The Lakers and their team landed in Dallas. Compared with Los Santos, the style of Texas is very different.

Texas is filled with a kind of brutality, desolation, and tough will. This is the spiritual culture left by the cowboys back then. A large number of animal husbandry is blooming everywhere in Texas. A large number of farms and farmers make this area look wild, but it is full of vitality.

The Mavericks this season have unexpectedly started a good start with 3 wins and 2 losses.

This has something to do with their weaker opponents, but it also has a lot to do with their head coach Mad Scientist Nelson.

Nelson thrived with a young roster built around Michael Finley and Steve Nash. The first few games actually made people feel that they are expected to playoffs!

You must know that apart from Michael Finley and Nash, there are not many other players on this team who can be named.

November 11, 1997, Reunion Stadium.

"Kobe, how are you doing?" Nash smiled and hugged Kobe with long hair.

This season, Nash has jumped from the Sun's third point guard to the Mavericks' starter!

In the first five games, Nash did not live up to the trust of the mad scientist and Kobe at all, and played a very good performance.

The data has grown from an absolute soy sauce of 5.2+1.1+3.2 last year to a qualified starting point guard of 10.3+2.1+7.3. The key is that his shooting percentage is extremely high, 47.7% total shooting percentage, 40.3% three-point shooting percentage, 88.2% free throw shooting percentage, almost joined the 180% club in the second season!

"Hey, buddy. Your shots are still a little less." Coe also watched the Mavericks' video tape before the game and found that although Nash's offense was sharp, he rarely took the initiative to attack personally.

"Damn it, I'm not you." Nash rolled his eyes. If he had Kobe's physical fitness, he would definitely take more shots. Now Nash Jr. still puts most of his energy on the organization and defense. Although his defense is useless, at least his attitude is quite correct.

Harris and Nelson also hugged and greeted each other.

"Welcome back! The team has been doing well recently!" Harris expressed his warm welcome to the mad scientist's return to the league.

"Smart people don't say dark words, Nash for Kobe, change it?"

"Forehead."

Looking at the dazed silver fox Harris, the mad scientist laughed. Of course he knew that Kobe was not tradeable, he just wanted to make a joke.

"Nash, the point guard, will develop very well in the future." Harris also studied Nash's game videos. He was also the golden generation of 96. Kobe and Iverson have come a long way, but behind them, there are always some people In disdain to catch up.

Nash is the hardest working and the most talented one.

"Hey, Nash's passing vision and shooting touch are really amazing. But his offensive awareness and physique are not very good, but it doesn't matter, this is only the second year, and our Mavericks are rebuilding!"

"Haha, Don, don't play the playoffs while rebuilding!"

The atmosphere between the Mavericks and the Lakers is very friendly. Nash trained with these Lakers players for a whole month in the summer. The Lakers players also sincerely wished Nash the starting lineup.

But the game is always brutal.

At the beginning of the game, Kobe lobbed the ball high to the basket.

O'Neal rose to the ground, bumped the opposing center, and threw the ball into the basket.

Come out of the basket!

Self-defeating and self-robbing!

Pulling onions on dry land, grabbing rebounds from the crowd, and hitting rebounds to score goals.

fierce!

The fierce O'Neill interprets the dominance of the big shark!

Nash advances with the ball.

"Let me see how much progress you have made!"

Kobe fit and pounced!

Such offensive and defensive drills have been carried out countless times in the summer off-season!
