At that time, although "Penny" Hardaway was not necessarily more dominant than O'Neal, he had completely overshadowed O'Neal.

You know, he entered the league in the second year of his career!

"Hardaway will be the next person to hold the torch after me."

Even Jordan used these words to evaluate.

Especially at that time, the Magic team's management was very stupid at the beginning to lead in this direction. They didn't want O'Neal's salary to be higher than Hardaway's, because that would make Hardaway feel that he was not the boss of the team!

The result was that O'Neal saw that he could not be the boss and ran directly to Los Angeles.

"Young people should behave like young people. The position you want does not require charity from others, but is earned by yourself."

Kobe continued.

Lin Ying fell into thinking again.

Although he doesn't think Kobe's words are completely correct, they still have some inspiration for him.

Especially during this special time period.

What does he want now?

Of course it's a win.

So can being selfish win?

This is not necessarily true, but if it was the last game and he had played a few more games, he would definitely have a better chance than watching Anthony play.

Then there was the issue that he was most concerned about, the conflict with Anthony.

When Kobe said this, he suddenly realized that his previous thoughts were still stuck in a fixed mindset.

He has already made preparations to change teams next season if he does not win the championship, so what if there is a conflict?

It’s nothing more than one more chance to win the championship!

If he can really win the championship, even if things break out again next season, he won't have to choose when he leaves. He can find a suitable team and directly develop into the boss!

Even going to the extreme, what if the Nuggets management discovers that his potential is actually no worse than Anthony's and sends Anthony away?

Judging from the previous exchanges, Kroenke seems not to understand football, but in fact he knows everything.

Think about it, it would actually be good if you could stay in the Nuggets and be the boss.

If the Nuggets already have a lot of popularity in China, Kobe Bryant mentioned the natural training advantages of the Denver plateau before, and Yang Shuyu is now attending college in Denver.

These are the reasons if he deserves to stay.

He then looked at Kobe.

He suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu.

That was when he and Duncan finished their summer training that year, and he asked Duncan: Do you think you are vying for the enemy this time?

Duncan's answer: I don't think you'll be in Denver for long.

So this time, he also looked at Kobe:

"Aren't you afraid that after I am selfish, the Nuggets will beat the Lakers?"

"Won't."

"Why?"

Lin Ying was deeply afraid that Kobe would say the same thing as Duncan.

"Because, the Lakers will not lose."

Kobe said calmly.

Gan!

If someone says this, you will definitely think that they are showing off and want to beat them up.

But if this person is Kobe this season, you will feel that you are unable to refute.

"Then try it!"

Lin Ying was also aroused by Kobe's words.

In the last game, Kobe said that the Lakers would definitely win, but he still didn't believe it.

Seeing Lin Ying's reaction, Kobe nodded happily.

This is what it looks like.

…

G4, a very crucial game for the Nuggets.

Because after losing G3 and losing the home court advantage to the Lakers, if they lose again, it will be the Lakers' match point game.

If you want to come back after falling behind 1 to 3, it will be geometrically difficult.

During the warm-up before the game, you can see that the Nuggets players have serious expressions.

Although tonight is not to say that I have stepped on the edge of the cliff, I can still be regarded as being forced to the edge of the cliff.

The Lakers were also prepared, and Kobe's expression was extremely serious.

I can foresee that there will be a fierce battle tonight.

After the opening ceremony, the lineups of the two teams were released one after another.

Like the previous games, both sides have regular lineups.

Lakers: Fisher, Kobe, Ariza, Gasol, Bynum

Nuggets: Billups, Jones, Anthony, Lin Ying, Nene

This time, the Nuggets got the ball back first and the Nuggets took the lead in attacking.

Like the previous game, Anthony also played two first.

Ariza was still very close to him, Anthony finally turned his back and got rid of Ariza, and Kobe's help came again.

It seems that the Lakers' strategy has not changed much from the last game. Kobe is still concentrating on defense.

Anthony did not choose to pass the ball, but forced a pull-up against Kobe.

"when!"

Anthony's shot naturally missed.

But looking back, Gasol's turning hook shot after receiving a pass from Kobe was also interfered by Lin Ying.

After a muscle collision under the basket, Nene protected the defensive rebound.

In the opening game, the defensive intensity of both teams was very high.

Anthony chose to face the frame for the second time. This time he was wary of Kobe, but the emergency stop and pull-up after being interfered by Ariza still failed.

Historically, Anthony's mentality was very affected by Ariza this year, and his current performance is not much better so far, and his overall performance is even worse.

Because he didn't gain weight, Ariza's defensive effect on him was better.

Then both sides missed another attack. The two teams played for almost three minutes, but no points were scored on the field.

Various muscles collided on the field, causing people to fall over on their backs.

This fight was more intense than G2.

After the Lakers fell into position again, Kobe began to ask for the ball.

Facing Jones' defense, he made a fake shot and made a beautiful breakthrough to the baseline.

The Nuggets directly attacked from a double flank.

However, because I was afraid that Kobe would pass the ball again like he did in the previous game, this double attack was not complete.

When Kobe saw this, he turned around towards the baseline and took a shot.

The only thing is:

A good waist is built through hard work, and a mamba song expresses your heartfelt feelings;

There is no wine in your back, but I am as drunk as a dog!

"Whoa!"

Kobe Bryant scored his first field goal tonight!

And after making the shot, he glanced at Lin Ying consciously.

It seemed to be saying to Lin Ying: Lin, this is how the ball should be played!

Lin Ying took the initiative to pick and roll Billups, and then took the initiative to ask for the ball after mismatching with Fisher!

At this time, Anthony was also asking for the ball in the low post.

Billups signaled Anthony to go to the bottom corner, and then gave the ball to Lin Ying!

Just as Lin Ying thought, in Billups's mind, winning is the first priority.
