My Name is Kobe Bryant
Chapter 58 The Collapsing Sun
After the game, in the Lakers locker room, this easy victory did not bring too many waves to the team. The players chatted lightly with each other, bragging about their performances.
Magic Johnson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar arrived in the Lakers locker room after their on-air duties.
"Oh, my God. It's the magician and the skyhook." Fisher jumped up excitedly when he saw them first. Xiaoyu is the number one fan of the magician.
"Hey, lads. It was a great game." The magician is very approachable, and his gentlemanly smile is a mark of an era.
"Little fish, your 10 assists are very beautiful." The magician's encouragement made Fisher laugh from ear to ear.
Everyone chatted for a while, and Kobe, Magician and Skyhook all left their communication numbers.
"Young man, if you need any advice or help, you can come to me. Whether on or off the court, I will always be your backing, do you understand?" The magician gave Kobe a promise, and he was very optimistic about the young King, the only concern is that he will do something immature at 18 years old.
"Thanks, MAGIC." Kobe maintained a good relationship with the legends of the Lakers in his last life, and he and the magician also got along very happily. He knew that the Magic not only achieved excellent results in basketball, but his business acumen allowed him to build a huge business empire.
"If you have time, come to my house for dinner on weekends." The magician invited Kobe, and inviting friends to his home in the United States is the highest level of courtesy.
"No problem, sir. At any time." Bryant readily agreed.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and O'Neal on the side also had a good chat, and they also joined the Lakers from other teams. They are also historical inside superstars, and they have many common topics.
"Shaq, you are so similar to us at the time. I won 5 championships with the magician. You are younger. I hope you can get more honors."
O'Neal straightened his face: "Yes, I promise you. The legendary glory of the Lakers will be inherited by me and Kobe together."
"Of course, you two will be the next pair of legends."
. . . . . .
The next day, on the front page of the sports section of the Los Angeles Times, there was a picture of Kobe catching a pass and O'Neal taking off and blasting the basket.
Article Title: "The Lakers' Next Magic and Skyhooks" By Dan Neal
When the hook was old and the magician retired, Los Angeles seemed to be plunged into darkness.
But this is just the last darkness before dawn. We have welcomed the youngest 50 superstar Shaquille O'Neal this year. The Lakers' center tradition continues.
In the draft, Jerry West exchanged All-Star center Divac for an unknown high school kid, and Los Angeles was criticized.
Who would have thought that this young kid would play such a wonderful performance? His pass is like a magician, his projection is like West, and his dunk is like Baylor. He has the purest purple and gold blood.
This young duo can knock down half the team's points per game, and their influence is everywhere. What is even more commendable is that their tacit understanding is like old friends who have cooperated for ten years.
Los Angeles is about to experience a renaissance, and it's no joke.
I know this is Jordan's era, but the future is ours.
. . . . . .
"Hey, boss. Look at this newspaper!" Fisher handed the newspaper in his hand to Kobe as if offering a treasure.
Kobe took a look, and the writing was still very good.
"Little fish, if Kobe and Shaq are magicians and skyhooks. Then you must be the next Byron Scott next to them." Campbell leaned over.
"Hey, hey, Campbell, I heard a lot of bad meanings from your words. Please show some respect to the championship." Byron Scott pretended to be angry.
The teammates laughed together, and the happiness among athletes is as simple as that.
"Tomorrow's opponent is the Suns. Fortunately, it's still at home. It feels great to stay in Los Angeles." Shaq O'Neal doesn't like traveling, he likes the sunshine in California. Lying at home on rest days is his greatest enjoyment.
"I heard that they lost 7 games in a row at the beginning of the season. Kevin Johnson suffered a grade 3 ankle sprain. He will not attend today's game."
"Seven consecutive losses? Their lineup is very good, worthy of a place in the playoffs."
"Barkley's trade made their team's morale slump, coupled with Kevin Johnson's injury, I heard that the head coach Cotton Fitzsimmons is not stable. Their team will make big moves recently."
Bryant thoughtfully, it seems that there is a chance to pry a championship puzzle from the Suns?
"However, our schedule in November is really intensive, and there is a game almost every other day."
"No way, that's what we get paid for."
"That's true. Players get paid to play for fans to watch. Why do you make so much money if you don't want to play?"
. . . . . .
The next day, the Great Western Forum.
The jerseys above the arena are still dazzling, and the stadium is densely packed with spectators. Being able to come to the Lakers to watch a game at home in this era is really something to show off.
It's a pity that there are no smartphones at present, and the audience can only take pictures of this moment with their eyes or a bulky camera. There is also no social media for them to share.
Kobe was the first to walk into the field, and the cheers were twice as loud as in the first game. His gorgeous style of play has made Los Angeles fans deeply remember this player.
"KOBE, KOBE, KOBE!"
Kobe thought, when will these shouts change from KOBE to MVP? Perhaps in this venue full of glory, we have to wait until after winning the championship.
"Hi, Steve." Bryant found the Suns' Steve Nash.
"Kobe, you've played really well recently!" Although he was teased by Kobe, Nash is also paying close attention to the performance of the leader of the 96 generation.
"You know, you can too, keep it up Steve, you'll be the best point guard ever."
"I can't even start." Steve Nash shook his head helplessly.
Steve Nash thought Kobe was talking politely. The current Steve Nash still couldn't start after Kevin Johnson was injured. He thought he couldn't compare with Kobe at all.
But Kobe sincerely agrees with this son of wind who caused the storm of running and bombing. This is a player who can change the league structure. Although Nash is immature now, he has a bottomless talent worth exploring.
"Steve, you need to play more confidently and actively. A point guard who can only pass the ball is never great!" Kobe patted Nash on the shoulder.
"Maybe." Nash kept Kobe's words in mind, maybe the future direction of the league is an offensive point guard like Kobe?
