The rest is just noise

After three consecutive wins at the start of the season, the Lakers' energy seemed to have drained away, and they soon suffered their first home defeat.

In the fourth game of the new season, they faced the Indiana Pacers at home.

In this game, due to the tragedy of his absence due to leg and foot soreness, Louis asked Kobe to temporarily join the Cavaliers as the fifth man.

As a result, Kobe lived up to Ellis's "high expectations". During the implementation of the "Meteor" tactic, he overlapped with his teammates 4 times and made 3 positioning errors. He self-righteously felt that he had the best chance, so he took the ball and played 2 singles.

Let's talk about other things, this is enough for the coaching staff to see how ugly "beautiful basketball" can be when it doesn't perform properly.

For every "Meteor" play that Kobe participated in, the Lakers scored 0 points.

Including his two singles, he was blocked by the Pacers' core inside man, Hank Gathers, because he was too naive.

Despite this, the Lakers still did not lose confidence before the end of the game.

Because of Wilson and Barkley.

It can be said that Wilson was furious. After breaking away from the "Beautiful Basketball" tactic, he was like a god descending to earth.

Barkley is the one responsible for the team's offensive end. He scored 35 points and 14 rebounds tonight, shooting 67% from the field.

The Lakers dragged the Pacers to keep the game suspense until the last moment.

Louis arranged a sideline ball tactic, but was intercepted by Mookie Blaylock, who is known as the "thief".

"What the hell kind of shit tactics are you running?"

Louis immediately triggered the sideline ball PTSD left over from the 2019 World Cup.

His roar was directed at Dana Barros, who was in charge of the ball.

Barros had no excuse. He lost his position and allowed Blaylock to forcefully run past him and steal the ball, completely ruining the Lakers' hope of winning.

114 to 113

The Lakers lost by 1 point.

Louis, who lost his mind, turned into a fire-breathing dragon in the locker room, as if he wanted to burn everyone to ashes.

Rookies and sophomores who don't perform well are afraid to show off.

They hope to make themselves invisible and not be noticed by Louis.

But how could Louis not notice their presence?

After getting angry at Burrows, Louis began to scold Garnett: "Molly, why are you competing with Hank Gathers?"

"Sir, I..."

"I'm asking you the fuck, why are you competing with that bastard?!" Louis roared, "If you can't keep your fucking head on the court, you can't be a star, don't think you're still young, I'm telling you

, time waits for no one, if you can’t mature yourself as soon as possible and play like an adult, then pack your bags and go back to fucking Chicago to attend your community college!”

Ostertag survived. Since the Pacers' inside line was either mobile like Gathers or defensive like Bradley, he had no chance to play.

A player who didn't play certainly shouldn't be blamed.

Ben Wallace was DNP, and naturally he did not have the "blessing" of being praised by the head coach.

Steve Nash wasn't so lucky.

Although he is not responsible for the Lakers' loss, his performance is difficult to satisfy Louis.

In 16 minutes of playing time, he scored a total of 1 point (free throw), 3 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 turnovers.

His two mistakes both occurred when the Cavaliers launched the "Beautiful Basketball" system, and both were directly related to Kobe's random movements.

However, how can a point guard who only made two free throws and missed one in 16 minutes drive the "Beautiful Basketball" system?

"Steve, do you think you're playing hockey?"

Nash does need to be confident, but encouraging when he should be encouraged and blaming when he should be criticized is the correct way to teach newcomers.

"1 point? You played 16 minutes and only got 1 point? Are you fucking kidding me?" Louis said mercilessly, "If you want to play ice hockey, go to the fucking NHL draft. Don't do it."

This is a waste of everyone's time. A point guard with no aggressiveness is the vampire of the team! Your assist data can't explain anything at all, because all offensive opportunities have nothing to do with you, you just pass the ball.

I can easily find hundreds of such controllers if I go to the free market for open recruitment!"

Even Nash, who seemed to be the most trouble-free, was said like this. Kobe is afraid tonight...

Benjamin Wilson rolled his eyes, wondering if he wanted to come to the rescue?

This kid is only 18 years old, can he withstand the coach's "love education"?

No, he played badly, that's a fact.

Therefore, let him experience the warmth and warmth of professional basketball like a normal rookie. Everyone is doing this for his own good.

That's what Wilson thought.

As a result, Louis' eyes only stayed on Kobe for a second and then turned away.

Kobe and others:???

Ellis, a bad guy, wishes Kobe was scolded by Louis.

He thought Louis had forgotten Kobe, so he said: "High school student, the reason why we fell into such a passive situation in the second half was all because of you. Don't you want to say something?"

"No, it has nothing to do with Bean."

Louis said unexpectedly.

It has nothing to do with him? Everyone looked at Louis in confusion.

Louis explained indifferently: "Bean is not a member of the Knights, and he has never practiced with the Knights. It is natural that there is no tacit understanding between them. I am not surprised or dissatisfied with the Knights' performance tonight."

All my dissatisfaction comes from your personal performance. Don't blame Bean. He is not and will not be a member of the Knights in the future. He is just a firefighter who was temporarily brought up to put out the fire. I was wrong.

If you kill him, it's my fault."

“Cazzo!

!”

Kobe was already prepared to be scolded.

He can accept failure, he can accept being ridiculed, he can accept criticism, but he cannot accept being looked down upon.

"Sir, why do you even look down on me? Didn't you say I still have a chance?" Kobe asked loudly.

Louis sneered: "You have a chance before tonight. After tonight, forget it, playing 'Ugly Basketball' once is enough."

"It's my fault. I admit it's all my fault. I'm responsible for tonight's defeat!" Kobe's stance has never been so low since he joined the team. "You can scold me, I'm willing to bear all the consequences."

Louis shook his head mockingly.

"You bear all the consequences?" Barkley said, "High school boy, I want to give you a little shame. You did play badly, but if we played better, we would have won the game."

Wilson also said: "It is really not Beane's turn to take the blame. Whether it is regular tactics or 'Beautiful Basketball', I have shortcomings. If I play more aggressively, if I start 'Beautiful Basketball'

If we communicate more with Bean Jr., maybe the situation will be much better. The responsibility for this defeat lies with me."

"Then I am the person responsible for No. 1.5." Barkley agreed.

"No, it was me who missed the last sideline pass." Barros, an old-fashioned man who is not liked by any rookie, said hoarsely, "I'm sorry."

Something happened in the locker room that Kobe couldn't understand and couldn't accept.

He was obviously the worst performer in the team, but few people, including the bosses of Louis and Wilson, felt that he should be responsible.

Kobe could indeed feel the warmth flowing through his body deep in his heart, but he hated the feeling of being treated like a child more than being protected.

"You all shut up!" Kobe roared, "I said it was my fault! That's my fault! I made the most mistakes in the game, had the lowest plus/minus, and ranked last in the team in field goal percentage. I messed up the game.

No matter how you look at it, it’s all my fault, why do you ignore me?”

[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. www. Android and Apple are available.]

Kobe's face turned red with excitement. He regarded the veteran's sense of responsibility and responsibility as another form of contempt. This feeling created a sense of humiliation in his body.

Louis looked at him and said flatly: "Because you are not qualified yet."

After that, Louis asked Wilson to attend the press conference with him.

After Louis walked out of the locker room, Wilson patted Kobe on the shoulder and said, "It may be a little late to say this now, but welcome to the NBA."
