Kobe was sitting on the bench, just sitting there.

His eyes were staring straight at the court, but they were very empty.

No one knew what he was thinking at this time, no one knew if he was missing that invincible shark.

But what is certain is that tonight is a very embarrassing night for Kobe.

"Beep~~~"

The buzzer sounded throughout the Staples Center, signaling the end of the game.

104 to 91, the Indiana Pacers defeated the Lakers on the road with a 13-point advantage.

Judging from the score, there seems to be no suspense in this game.

But only those who have watched this game know how intense and exciting this game was.

Tough physical combat, difficult scoring and never-ending trash talk.

Kobe and Wayne, no one knows where these two people who met for the first time got so popular.

Perhaps, it was all caused by the desire to win that was stronger than the desire for happiness.

At the end of the game, Wayne happily walked up to high-five his teammates to celebrate.

17 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocks. Wayne's statistics today are not too explosive.

At least compared to the previous games, it seemed a lot mediocre.

Lamar Odom has caused a lot of trouble for Wayne, that's a fact.

But the most classic scene in this game was created by Wayne.

The scene when he proudly stepped over Kobe became the most impressive moment today.

Statistically speaking, Kobe completely beat Wayne today. With 40 points in a single game, Wayne still can't produce such figures.

But I don’t know why, everyone always feels that Wayne has the upper hand over Kobe...

It really corresponds to the news headline commonly used by domestic media: "Wayne's 18 points beat Kobe's 40 points."

Maybe it's because of that jump, maybe it's because of Kobe's poor shooting percentage.

In short, although Kobe scored 40 points today, he did not receive much praise.

Kobe stood up and looked at Wayne in the distance.

Those who keep saying that one generation is inferior to another should look at you, just like I look at you, with love and hate!

Who says today's players don't understand confrontation and trash talk? Wayne knows it all!

A rookie actually dares to deal with a man who has three championship trophies like this.

This reminded Kobe of his own past.

When he faced Michael Jordan, why was he afraid?

Wayne's persistence and pursuit of victory deeply attracted Kobe.

Of course, if you asked Kobe to go over and hug Wayne right now...he would definitely not be willing!

Do you want me to admit to your face that you are strong?

Go ahead and dream!

So, Kobe just hugged Payton.

"Everything will pass, it's all a process." During the hug, Payton comforted his former teammate.

"Well, by the way, Gary, that No. 99, did he learn his trash talk from you?" Kobe looked at Wayne who was being interviewed by reporters and asked Payton by the way.

"Me? Hahahaha, I can't teach him. Before playing with the Heat, he taught me how to anger Wade."

"What!?" Kobe was shocked.

In addition to often asking Payton for advice on defense, Kobe also once asked Payton for advice on trash talking.

In his opinion, Payton, who can make Jordan upset, is the number one trash talker in active service.

However...Wayne, a first-year rookie, taught Payton how to trash talk!

Damn it, God has reserved all your talent points for trash talk!

"Don't worry, Wayne just wants to win the game. He is actually a very nice person, so don't take it to heart." Payton patted Kobe on the shoulder, and Kobe nodded slightly.

"He's great, Gary. Every team needs a player like him. It's annoying to be an opponent with him, but to be a teammate with him..." Kobe shook his head helplessly. The Lakers were lacking.

Such a person.

Quietly, Kobe left, just as he quietly appeared yesterday.

The shark on the sofa in front of the TV was so happy that he drank two more sips of beer. Kobe's disappointed expression was the most wonderful picture in the world!

Now, Ao Pang felt relieved.

If Wayne wins, Kobe won't be able to beat the Sharks.

If I, Shaq, can't beat anyone, you, Kobe, can't beat him either!

If Shaq had been there, he would have rushed into the arena, hugged Wayne and kissed him passionately on the cheek.

Looking at it this way, Wayne is really awesome.

First kill 03 Zhanwei Gua, then kill OK Kobe Shark.

This hatred has basically offended all the powerful people in this alliance.

She is indeed a reverse social butterfly.

Sharapova still had her hands on her chest until this moment, and she could even feel her heart beating violently.

The image of Wayne hitting a three-pointer and crossing over Kobe makes Sharapova's heart beat faster just thinking about it.

What a hot man, he is really strong!

Unruly, unafraid of power, and daring to challenge, no matter whether you are Kobe or Melo, number one in the league or the pride of heaven, I won’t accept it, I won’t be afraid, I just want to fight you!

These... are all qualities I like!

It's amazing. The huge stadium, but the back of No. 99 is all in my eyes.

After the interview, Wayne was the first to run up to Artest and hugged his shoulders.

"Good job today, Ron."

"Good job..." Artest's mouth twitched twice, Kobe scored 40 points on my head, little brother.

You call this a good job?

I said before that I almost guarded him, but now I said that I did a good job.

What are you thinking about today?

Don't be too arrogant. If I couldn't defeat you, I would have defeated you long ago!

"You really defended well. Although he scored 40 points, that was because he was shooting the ball for the entire Lakers team.

How can points accumulated by right of shot be called points? Thank you Ron, without your hard work, we would not have won today."

"Wei..." Artest looked at Wayne and felt that this kid's image had become much taller.

Don’t forget Big Brother when you win, you can, you can, you are so loyal!

At this time, another prompt appeared on Wayne's system interface.

His bond with Artest has increased again!

Wayne discovered that the bond value between himself and Artest was always rising inexplicably.

Last time it was because Wayne mentioned Artest in an interview, this time it was because he complimented him casually...

How disrespectful are you to boast?

Speaking of which, Wayne found that the bond value between himself and Artest was only a little short of reaching the first mark.

There is not much left to unlock the reward.

This... is going to activate the crazy Kuatai mode?

But if you exaggerate too much, it will probably have no effect.

And...complaining about Artest is much more interesting than praising Artest!

This damn bad taste!

Well, next time, when Artest makes an outstanding contribution again, just hold back a little bit and not complain about him, but praise him.

Now that I think about it... Yasuko seems quite pitiful...

After returning to the locker room, Wayne paid close attention to Kobe's performance during the press conference.

Wayne believed that with Kobe's character, he would not let the war end like this.

It is almost impossible to make Kobe admit defeat.
To be continued...
