Chapter 417 Decisive Battle in Los Angeles!
The declarations of Kobe and Zen Master can't cause too much trouble. Even among Lakers fans, they don't believe the nonsense of these two people.
After all, the Lakers are in a situation now, internal and external troubles, and the Hornets almost buried their championship hopes with 3-0.
After the press conference, Kobe left directly.
Some reporters originally wanted to ask him about a few topics, but Kobe walked very fast and they were behind and could not catch up.
Kobe's anger can be imagined.
This game may even become his lifelong regret.
However, since things have happened, there is no other way except to accept them.
Zhong Yu did not go back to the hotel rented by the team that night, and no one cared about him. Scott couldn't talk about Zhong Yu, and the other players didn't dare to talk about him.
"The game I saw in the box tonight! It's awesome!" Scarlett said happily to Zhong Yu: "The Lakers simply have nothing to say for the last ball!"
Zhong Yu smiled: "But I have become a sinner in Los Angeles now. I heard that some Los Angeles fans want to castrate me."
"Don't listen to their nonsense. Now it is a society ruled by law. How could they do such a thing?"
Zhong Yu laughed: "I'm sorry to Kobe. He still couldn't hold me up that ball, but I can't do anything about it. The camps are different. I will do my best to win the victory of our team."
Scarlett felt that Zhong Yu was a little guilty about the result of this game because of his mutual appreciation with Kobe. He comforted him with kind words: "Don't think too much, the game is the game, and sports competition is the game, and the score is the winner. You can't deny this."
Zhong Yu nodded hungryly, hugged her and said, "Now, the thing I am most proud of is that you are with me! This is even better than the winningest kill I just made me feel better."
…………
The Lakers’ training hall!
The lights were a little dim. In Los Angeles, the morning light was everywhere, and the whole world was shrouded in a slightly hazy halo.
Kobe was practicing jump shot without saying a word.
At this moment, the two trainers around him had some complaints that they wanted to say - Kobe, if you want to hone yourself crazy, then do it yourself... I have to call us up, what is this?
Of course, this is their responsibility.
"This damn paranoid!" The two of them had secretly scolded Kobe countless times in their hearts.
Of course, even if Kobe knew, he would ignore it.
He only has the basket in his mind now.
And when he shot, he kept recalling.
The memories are very monotonous, and the moment Zhong Yu dunked, the No. 5 of Dadi bloomed on his back.
And, the score that stinged his eyes later.
These things made him very upset. He asked him to come to shoot and train early this morning.
Because there are too many things in my mind, Kobe's shooting is not very accurate now, and the basketball bounces out of the basket one by one.
Finally, he sighed quietly. The desire for the championship constitutes his belief that has supported him in the past few seasons, but now, they are going to waste this season again.
With the last shot, Kobe sat on the stool without saying a word, with a white towel covering his head.
…………
The fifth month of 2009!
The playoffs of the NBA are in full swing! So far, 12 teams have fallen on the playoffs.
There are still four teams left to compete.
In the East, the Magic and the Cavaliers battle has begun.
In the West, the Lakers and Hornets are in full swing.
For the time being, the Hornets lead the Lakers 3-0, and seeing that the Lakers are about to be defeated by the Hornets again, then Zhong Yu successfully stepped onto the stage of the finals, making the Hornets shine brightly on this stage. In the East, the Magic showed their magic power in front of the Cavaliers, and the Cavaliers also lost steadily.
The showdown between the 23rd and 24th that people yearned for and expected for a long time ago has basically come to an end, and it is impossible for this season to happen.
The Lakers and the Cavaliers basically have no chance of joining the Finals.
What's more, many people have found that the showdown between No. 5 and No. 24 is better than any showdown between 23 and 24, both are more beautiful and exciting!
People are also wondering whether there will be a showdown between No. 5 and No. 23 in this year's finals.
But the Cavaliers are still considered by most people as a regular season team. When they really play in the playoffs, they will not be like the regular season blocking and killing Buddhas.
People focus on the Western Conference Finals—
At present, the Hornets are temporarily leading the Lakers 3-0. I believe that the Lakers will try their best to win a game... at least let the Hornets sweep them out 4-1.
At that time, let alone decent, but at least it was much better than sweeping, and it sounded much better.
Most people still think that the Lakers want to win this game, no matter how you say it is, you must win one...
Now, most people are focusing on the Western Conference duel, in the century battle between the Hornets and the Lakers, there are fewer people paying attention to the Eastern Conference Finals.
After all, this year's Western Conference finals were really beautiful, with scores constantly breaking through new highs, Zhong Yu kept setting new records, and the seemingly huge Lakers actually began to lose in front of the aggressive Hornets' Stinger!
One by one, the reasons pushed the fourth game between the Hornets and the Lakers to many people.
This game is still played at the home court of the Lakers, Staples Center.
Before the game started, a reporter interviewed the fans at the scene.
"Who do you think will win this game?"
——"Of course it's the Lakers! We can still win the championship. The first three games are just warming up!"
——"Our Lakers are very strong. A team like the Hornets have no foundation, and even if they are temporarily ahead of us... that is temporary after all."
——"The Hornets can't be too proud, they are just taking the lead for the time being. We will be able to play soon."
…………
Some professional reporters have to sigh - I don't know if it is the fans of the Staples Center who really think this game will win or to make their reputation. So, if they really think that the Lakers can still surpass the Hornets, is they have enough confidence in the team, or do they have not yet recognized the reality?
In the end, they concluded that these Lakers fans are all weird.
When the reporter asked a middle-aged man, the middle-aged man still firmly believed that the Hornets would fall under the Lakers! The reporter finally couldn't help but ask where he got such great confidence.
The man said: "Where there is Kobe, there will be miracles!"
The reporter immediately understood.
Indeed, Kobe is the pillar in the hearts of many Lakers fans, and it is the reason they will never give up supporting this team.
Although Kobe is always criticized by some basketball commentators and fans, his personal personality also has some problems. If he takes action at critical moments, he will give people some controversy.
But I still have to say that Kobe is still a god-like man in the hearts of many fans!
…………
The competition has begun!
After the referee's whistle sounded, the entire stadium was boiling in a boiling sound. The Lakers won the jump ball and passed halfway through the ball. After Kobe received the pass, he squeezed away Zhong Yu in one step. Zhong Yu followed closely for the moment. He had already jumped up and shot out.
"Swish!"
The first three-pointer hit!
"here you go!"
"Kobe, that's what it should be!"
"It's long time since we should have killed these damn New Orleans."
The voices of the fans came over frantically and echoed throughout the stadium.
It seems that Kobe wants to take over this game again.
The Hornets missed the counterattack. After Kobe took the ball through half the court, he forcibly broke into the inside and came to the deepest place. He leaned against Chandler and threw the basketball into the basket with a layup.
Then, Zhong Yu broke through, Kobe came up to defend, and Odom also came to double-team. Zhong Yuyan saw that the situation was wrong, so he could only pass the ball to Paul.
Paul passed the ball to Peja from the outside, and Peja missed a three-pointer, and the Lakers got another rebound.
This time, Kobe broke through to the deepest part of the inside, and then jumped and shook two people in the sky in a row, but the third person did not shake it away, so he passed the basketball to Gasol, who received the ball and dunked it!
At the beginning, he scored 5 points and 1 assist in a row!
Zhong Yu felt very stressed... Kobe looked like he was going to go crazy!
Faced with Kobe's rampage, many defensive methods are not of great use to him. Of course, this also depends on Kobe's feel. If his feel is very bad, then it will benefit his team.
But unfortunately, Kobe looks very good today.
The Lakers started 7-0, which caused the audience next to the basketball court to cheer and scream!
Then, the Hornets kicked off, Paul passed the ball to Zhong Yu, and Kobe posted it like a piece of candy. He and Zhong Yu had very little space, and it was difficult for Zhong Yu to get rid of him.
At that moment, he called West out of the pick-and-roll and broke through directly into the inside. Finally, he set aside a little distance from Kobe, but Kobe still pursued him relentlessly.
In this way, Zhong Yu came to a place near the bottom line, jumped up high, and the man glided in the sky for a distance before throwing the basketball in his hand out.
"Swish!"
A jump shot hit!
Zhong Yu's gliding shot was very powerful, and Kobe's blocking was still a beat late.
7-2, the Hornets finally scored.
Then, Kobe's scoring was slightly calmer on the Lakers side, after all, he was still very tired of breaking through continuously.
But after a short rest, he scored another four points.
Kobe started to go crazy today.

ps: I made a mistake before - the score in the playoffs is not included in career scores, so I will explain it here.
