The Lakers players missed many open shooting opportunities, which made Kobe prefer to take strong shots against the Knicks' double-teaming at the last moment, rather than trust his teammates.
The moment the game ends.
The system prompt sounded in Li Yan's mind:
"Ding! The host has completed the mission: leading the Knicks to defeat the Lakers and suppressing Kobe Bryant in all statistics.
Reward Kobe Bryant’s exclusive skill: Extreme Pull Up (Skill).
He passed the defensive warrior Bowen in one step, avoided the three-man attack by Parker, Horry and Duncan in the air, and scored the ball with his backhand.
Kobe Bryant has epic levels of flexibility and ability to stay in the air, as well as a great waist. As a combination of super jumping ability, ability to stay in the air, and softness of his body, Kobe Bryant's lever has excellent drift range and stretchability, which is practical. The most perfect combination of sex and appreciation (beautiful as picturesque).
Skill effect: Master Kobe's lever skills and greatly improve the host's flexibility and waist strength. "
After getting the "Extreme Pull Bar", Li Yan had a full set of Kobe's aerial skills in his mind.
Generally speaking, this skill is still very awesome, and it greatly supports Li Yan's breakthrough and attack to the basket.
As long as Li Yan has practiced and mastered Kobe's lever skills, his near-basket attack power will reach a very terrifying level.
Although he has not developed the mid-to-long-range shooting skills that Li Yan most urgently needs, the improvement in physical fitness is real.
It is obvious that Li Yan can complete more difficult technical moves.
In addition, this huge improvement in waist strength is amazing at first glance.
After a moment, Li Yan stood up and hugged Kobe Bryant in greeting.
"Li, congratulations!" Kobe turned around and left without waiting for Li Yan to speak.
Kobe's mood was very low. It can be seen that losing to the Knicks was a big blow to Kobe.
The Knicks are a notoriously bad team, and it was really embarrassing for the Lakers to lose to the Knicks.
In fact, before Li Yan defeated Kobe, he also defeated James' Cavaliers, but the proud "Black Mamba" obviously did not pay attention to this.
On this night at Staples, Li Yan played 41 minutes and scored 48 points, 15 rebounds, 12 assists, 2 steals and 4 blocks.
After scoring 50+ triple-doubles in the last game, Li Yan once again got a super triple-double.
"So versatile, Lee led the Knicks to defeat LeBron's Cavaliers and Kobe's Lakers in succession."
"Lee's numbers are so exaggerated, he's a monster."
"Absolutely giant. After so many years, the Knicks finally have their own owner."
"Li Yan's scoring ability is actually so strong. Last season, he must have deliberately suppressed his desire to score."
Fans expressed their opinions on the forum one after another. After two consecutive games, Li Yan has become the hottest star in the league in the new season.
For the Knicks, Randolph scored 17 points and 9 rebounds; Artest had 14 points, 5 rebounds and 2 steals; Yi Jianlian also had 13 points, 4 rebounds, 1 steal and 1 block.
For the Lakers, Kobe scored 42 points, 7 rebounds, 8 assists and 1 steal.
"Baby Shark" Bynum scored 24 points, 14 rebounds and 2 blocks. However, in the critical fourth quarter, Bynum only scored 2 points and 2 rebounds.
"Little Shark" took four "hot pot" hits from Li Yan in a single quarter and was beaten completely out of shape.
In addition, Odom only scored 8 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists today.
Sun Yue had 3 points and 1 rebound.
The Lakers' three-point shooting percentage is as low as a miserable 22%...
…
After the game, Kobe attended the press conference alone on behalf of the Lakers.
There was no smile on his face, giving him the impression that strangers should not approach him.
"Kobe, what do you think of today's game?" a reporter asked.
Kobe calmed down and said in a deep voice: "I'm fed up with games like this. I hate losing. Obviously the Knicks are the better team today."
"The team has to make changes, and if this continues, I don't think I have to stay in Los Angeles."
Kobe's speech directly shocked the entire interview hall.
Kobe doesn't want to stay with the Lakers anymore? Reporters felt a little unreal.
You must know that Kobe has been fighting for the Lakers for 11 years. His name has been tightly tied to the Lakers. He is the soul of the "Purple and Gold Army".
"Kobe, do you want to request a trade?"
"Kobe, who do you want to join forces with?"
"Kobe, do you have any problem with the Lakers' management?"
After a brief silence, reporters began to raise their microphones in droves.
However, faced with reporters' questions, Kobe did not answer. He stood up and left quickly.
After losing to the Knicks, all Kobe's dissatisfaction exploded at this moment.
He doesn't want to waste his time anymore. He knows that the peak is short-lived and God will punish those who squander their talents.
In the summer of 2004, "Shark" O'Neal traveled east to the Heat, and the "OK Group" parted ways. While Kobe officially took over the team's banner, he gradually entered the peak of his career. His personal data experienced a blowout growth, scoring in 9 consecutive games. 40+, 4 consecutive 50+ games, 81 points in a single game, and averaged 35.4 points per game in a single season.
In sharp contrast, in the Wild West, Kobe was alone.
The Lakers didn't make the playoffs one year, and made the playoffs as the seventh seed in the Western Conference two years ago, and were eliminated in the first round both times.
This is simply unbearable for Kobe, who is extremely competitive, determined to prove himself, and compete for the championship.
In addition, O'Neal teamed up with Wade to win a championship in 2006, which deeply stung Kobe's pride, making him more eager to compete for the championship and not wanting to wait for a moment.
But at that time, the strength of the Lakers and the strongest teammates around them were only sixth man Lamar Odom. Kobe was unable to achieve this wish in a short period of time.
Even if this continues, it is difficult to say when or whether it will be realized.
The most critical point is that the Lakers have not fulfilled the promise they made to Kobe Bryant in the summer of 2004 to "form a championship-worthy lineup within three years."
Not only has there been no substantial reinforcement, but in the summer of 2005, Caron Butler, who had just emerged and was the team's second-leading scorer after Kobe Bryant, was sent away in exchange for Kwame Brown.
This made Kobe feel cheated: the Lakers just wanted to use him to sell tickets, not compete for a championship.
Kobe has a clear conscience, but he just doesn't want to spoil the Lakers' management anymore.
Kobe, we will build the best lineup for you;
Kobe Bryant, the Los Angeles Lakers are born winners;
Kobe, wait a moment, reinforcements are on the way;
Kobe, believe us, our lineup will be very competitive this year;
The Lakers' management has been drawing a "big pie" for several consecutive seasons.
In this regard, what Kobe wants to say is: Go to hell!
