The rest is just noise

In the penultimate game before Thanksgiving, the Lakers met one of the league's most troubled teams - the Philadelphia 76ers.

Judging from the 76ers' lineup, they are a typical civilian team.

The biggest player on the team is Ardavis Sabonis, followed by Anthony Mason, who has unleashed himself in Philadelphia.

The two insiders are tall and strong, and both are threats in the low and high positions. The wonderful thing is that they are both masters of support.

Under the shadow of the two of them, the 76ers played a game in which everyone was involved, and the winning rate remained stable above 50%.

In order to acquire Mourning, the Trail Blazers sent Sabonis, Mason and four future first-round picks. Now, without Mourning, the 76ers have a better record than when Mourning was there.

This is what worries the 76ers management the most.

A 50% winning rate is indeed good, but if you want to build a team around this lineup, reaching the playoffs is the limit.

There will be a much-anticipated super star in next year's draft. Should you give up this year and trade all your reliable immediate abilities to pursue the prince in your heart? Or should you hold back your love for the prince and let the poor Philadelphia fans experience it again?

A brief playoff trip?

No matter what decision the 76ers make, they are no match for the Lakers.

In this campaign, the Lakers' shooters performed brilliantly.

Veteran Dale Ellis hit three three-pointers in the first quarter, giving the Lakers an advantage.

Later, Chinese guard Liu Yuqing made a perfect 10-for-10 shooting performance.

Due to the active status of the two No. 2 positions, Kobe didn't have a chance to play until the last 10 minutes.

Only one person's performance dissatisfied the coaching staff.

That person is the second-year star Kevin Garnett, who has high hopes.

At the beginning, Garnett's performance was normal, until he saw the 76ers' starting power forward Anthony Mason, whose skills were as rough as the silicone giants that can be seen everywhere in nightclubs, but could control a lot of the ball, he also thought

To do the same thing.

Then, he led the offense with the ball several times. Although the results were good, he did not follow the team's tactics at all.

At that time, Wilson and Barkley were both replaced, and it was understandable that Garnett wanted to dominate the game.

But this is not the arrangement of the coaching staff.

Louis only tolerated him for three rounds before glaring at Bird with a livid face: "You do it or do I do it?"

Bird immediately walked to the sidelines and yelled at Garnett with a lot of words: "Pass the ball, Kevin! If you fucking play like this again, go back to the locker room and stuff your head into the toilet to soak!"

Afterwards, Louis called a timeout and replaced Garnett.

Bird continued to attack Garnett for five minutes. Finally, Louis couldn't bear it anymore and walked over to talk the nagging bird away.

"Molly, you have to know that I am also very angry with your choice just now, but I am not an unqualified country bumpkin like Larry, but if you continue like this, I will let you know that a loyal person like me has no qualities.

Much better than Larry."

Garnett nodded vigorously, "Sir, I know I was wrong."

Garnett has already seen Louis' lack of quality.

He always liked Coach Lu who could calmly reason with him.

Probably because he saw Garnett's miserable end, Kobe was very honest in garbage time tonight. Not only did he not perform the "Showboat Show" that everyone likes to watch, but he also gave Ben and his boss a very reasonable

Buck feeds cake.

In those 10 minutes of garbage time, Kobe only took 3 shots, hit 1 goal, and scored 2 points and 3 assists.

When Kobe assisted Old Buck for a dunk and got his third assist, Ellis stood on the sidelines and muttered: "The ball was passed again, something is wrong, something is really wrong."

Kobe was scolded for not passing the ball and was suspected of passing the ball with ulterior motives. Kobe glared at Ellis angrily: "Whatever you say, I have already said that I can pass the ball, and when I do it, I will be outstanding."

So much so that you feel scared!”

"Excellent is not that outstanding. I'm afraid for real..." Buckley asked with a worried look on his face, "Are you feeling unwell, high school boy?"

"Cazzo!!!"

After the game, Louis shook hands with 76ers head coach Del Harris.

"Lou, do you really think this team is good enough to win the championship?" Harris asked.

"It may not be enough now," Louis said, "but by the end of the regular season, maybe we will move up to another level."

Harris was not optimistic about the Lakers' prospects of winning the championship this season, but he and Louis were friends, and the two sides exchanged blessings and left the game amicably.

Wilson, who scored 30 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists, praised the team's team spirit, especially rookie Kobe Bryant.

"He did what we always wanted him to do tonight," Wilson said. "The most important thing for a rookie is to adapt to the rhythm and intensity of professional basketball. At the same time, you must know how to start defensively.

Dedication. In the past, Kobe always regarded himself as a star, and some of the things he did were too early for him, but tonight, he did a very good job. Given time, I believe he will become a dazzling star."

However, after Kobe returned to the locker room, he did not receive praise from his teammates for passing the ball more.

Instead, it was Barkley and Ellis who were full of bad ideas and said that he deliberately pretended to be a good boy tonight to deceive the coaching staff.

What's the reason?

In the last game before Thanksgiving, the Lakers' opponent was the Portland Trail Blazers.

By then, Kobe will have the opportunity to compete with Michael Jordan.

"That's nonsense!" Kobe reiterated, "I pass the ball because I want to pass the ball!"

Barkley laughed: "Do you think I will believe it? A guy who usually passes the ball as his fourth option will suddenly become a team player? It's like I wake up tomorrow and never eat donuts again.

Same!"

While Kobe was arguing for himself, Louis happened to come back from the press conference.

Louis was horrified when he heard Kobe say he was "a team player."

Then Louis noticed that Kobe's emphasis on selflessness tonight was not to impress the coaching staff, and it had nothing to do with the game against the Trail Blazers the night after tomorrow.

"No matter who I play next, I will pass the ball like I did tonight!"

Kobe said seriously.

"Really, Bean?"

Louis' voice came from the door.

Kobe was startled, then calmed down, and responded without changing his face. Even if he wanted to do it, his fingers would show "I won't do it" with his bold shot selection: "Of course!"

"Okay, then I am here to announce in advance the starting lineup for the night after tomorrow -" Louis said loudly, "DB (Dana Barros), Benj, Chuck, Jasmine and Bean."

"You guys will start the night after tomorrow." Louis walked into the locker room and continued, "I've finished talking, who is in favor and who is against?"

No one objected.

"Then it's settled." Louis smiled mysteriously, "I believe you, Bean."

After Louis left, everyone expressed disbelief that Kobe could control himself in front of his idol.

"Idiot!" Ellis's ridicule was the most direct, "You actually agreed to something that you can't do!"

Kobe arrogantly said: "I can do anything!"

"Then I'll look forward to your performance the night after tomorrow!"

Although Wilson doesn't believe in Kobe, as the boss, he knows very well what to say and what not to say.

"The coach is the only person in the locker room who believes that you won't mess around. Don't let him down, otherwise..."

Wilson pictured Louis getting angry.

The conqueror left with a smile similar to Louis's before.

Finally, before leaving, Liu Yuqing said something that made Kobe lose sleep that night.

"Enjoy your last start of the season."

Kobe was furious, "You, a person who has never started a game, have no right to say that!"

Liu Yuqing did not respond to Kobe's anger and left simply. But it was he who provoked Kobe's strong dissatisfaction.

Kobe is determined to become a team player again the night after tomorrow, but determination is not that important if it is not a particularly serious and important thing. Teamwork has never been a serious or important thing in Kobe's 18-year-old life.

Important things.

⑴ Dell Ellis: "Let me introduce to you Kobe Bean, 'the arrogant high school asshole' Bryant's top three shot choices - the first choice is to shoot, he feels that he has the world

The strongest. The second option is to break through. He believes that no one can say no to a wonderful gliding layup or a top-ten dunk. The third option is to force a shot, although the probability of missing the shot is more than 60%.

, but he is still happy with it. Of course, if you don't want to take a long-distance backcourt buzzer-beating shot, passing the ball to him will be the right decision. In this way, his desire to take a heroic shot is satisfied, and our

Statistically, there is no need to add a meaningless strike.”
