Chapter 255 Hidden danger
On the eve of the fourth game, a "hot topic" suddenly appeared on Twitter, and the name was "NFL players rage at NBA players for shit!".The general meaning of the original text is as follows, the Lakers are hot in China, and they are the most trashy players he has ever seen. If this kind of person comes to the NFL, he must be crippled!Only the NBA can tolerate such a "weak" man living in it!On the football field, he couldn't hold on for half the game! ! !
The person who tweeted this was Gray Jones, an active player of the NFL Houston Texans. He is known as one of the strongest running backs in the NBL and is quite well-known in the professional sports circle.

"Hot? Have you watched the Internet? Who is that guy? Have you offended him?" Matt Barnes asked Tang Qian.

Tang Qian took a look at the phone, smiled immediately, and said, "Oh, it's him, I know him, I beat him up a while ago."

"Smash? Smash?" Even Matt Barnes swallowed when he heard this, and said, "Hot, he's a 265-pound muscular monster!"

"Yeah, I think so too." Tang Qian nodded seriously, and at the same time revealed a thoughtful expression: "I don't know what the NFL players eat, why are they all like the Hulk? , is really scary."

Hearing this, Matt Barnes secretly slandered: Are they scary?Do you have the nerve to say this?Aren't you scary?

For certain things, Matt Barnes obviously still has a fresh memory and is deeply impressed.

On May 5, 6 hours before the start of the series, the Lakers were making final training and adjustments.

For Kobe, his goal is to win the championship. If he can't even beat a "mercenary", what is the O'Brien Cup?Therefore, in this game, Kobe's face was full of fighting spirit.After the pre-match training session, Kobe stopped Tang Qian for the first time, and asked, "Hot, what's going on online? Don't be disturbed by off-court factors before the game, do you understand?"

"Well, don't worry, Mr. Bryant, it won't affect me." Seeing that Kobe took the initiative to "caring" for himself, Tang Qian said a little "flattered".

Who knew that this matter did not just get over like this, but it became more and more serious.

……

Before the game, Tang Qian received a "challenge task" released by the different space. On this day in history, the challenge object, Atlanta Hawks VS Boston Celtics on May 1986, 5, Robert Parish scored 6 points and 15 rebounds 13 2 assists and 2 blocks.

At the same time, the "inner demon" takes effect, and the competitive state is discounted by 9% in this game.

Without Ci Shiping, Kobe must take on a heavier offensive burden on the flanks, otherwise Matt Barnes alone will not be able to make up for Ci Shiping's lack of firepower.Today, Kobe's physical condition is still average, but there is nothing to say. He still plays the game, even if Mike Brown stops him, it is useless.Of course, Mike Brown wouldn't "stop" him from playing, otherwise how would he win this series?
What he thinks most about now is not the victory of the Lakers, not the future of the Lakers, but whether his position as head coach is stable or not.It's no wonder that Mike Brown, after all, a "rich man" as big as the Lakers, he has nowhere to look for with a lantern.He has no choice but to stop being unemployed.

After winning this round of the series, let Kobe take a good rest. This is the truest thought in Mike Brown's heart.

9 of 3 shots. This is Kobe's shooting percentage in the first quarter.

But Mike Brown didn't take it too seriously, because Kobe is the kind of "scoring explosive" player. He doesn't feel good in one, two or even three quarters, but he can explode in the fourth quarter. Hit rate to "brush" back.Besides, didn't this also score 3 goals?Anyway, the Lakers are only two points behind, so I don't need to worry too much.

Mike Brown thought so after the first quarter.

26-28, this is the score of the two teams in the first quarter.

But starting from the second quarter, the painting style changed suddenly, and the Lakers fell into a "scoring drought" instantly, and the Nuggets took the opportunity to widen the gap.Tang Qian played 2 minutes and 21 seconds in this quarter and got 2 rebounds and 1 assist.

45-51, 6 points behind at halftime, the Lakers returned to the locker room one after another.

……

"Mr. Brown, I strongly recommend that Kobe be banned from playing in the next game. His body muscles are obviously stiff. If this continues, he is very prone to injuries!" Gary Vitti and a female doctor behind him After chatting, he said to Mike Brown.

The female doctor's name is Judy Seto, she is of Chinese descent, and she is also the chief physical therapist of the Lakers.She has been working for the Lakers since 1990, and it has been nearly 22 years. Kobe Bryant has been one of Judy Seto's primary care objects since he joined the league.Of course, at the back, this "one" was also removed.All in all, the extreme trust between her and Kobe, and the 16 years of "accompaniment day and night", made Judy Seto know Kobe's various physical indicators well.What she said right now may be more authoritative than anyone else in this locker room.

"But now it's a critical moment, how can we remove the core players of the team? Then we will lose!" Mike Brown said obviously unwillingly.

"Mr. Brown, winning is your business, and protecting the health of the players is my business. So now, I solemnly tell you, Kobe Bryant, it is best to rest temporarily, otherwise it will lead to injuries. No one can afford this responsibility!" Facing Mike Brown, Gary Vitti refused to budge, because for the Lakers, the latter is the "relative" and decades of senior service is not Mike. A "newcomer" like Brown can be compared.

In a country like the United States that lacks history, the most important thing is "history". For the Lakers, it is clear who is "history".

"Ms. Seto, Bryant is really..." Mike Brown was a little bit unwilling to give up, skipping Gary Vitti, turned to Judy Seto and asked.

"Yes, sir." Judy Seto nodded and said: "Bryant's physical condition is not good, and his muscles are obviously weak. If this continues, it is very easy to cause sports injuries. This point, You should understand too."

As the head coach of an NBA team, Mike Brown certainly understands what she means. In any competitive sport, once the muscles are weak, it is considered to have lost the "physical protection layer". There may be disastrous consequences, and this is definitely not Judy Seto's "alarmist talk."

"Shorten the next playing time, can't you?" Mike Brown hesitated for a while and asked Gary Vitti.

"It's better not." Gary Vitti said "unceremoniously": "In the last game, what Mr. Brown said was 'shortening the playing time', but Kobe played nearly 39 minutes, so tonight, it's best It’s better not to appear on stage again.”

"But the game..." Before Mike Brown finished speaking, Gary Vitti interrupted: "Mr. Brown, I understand your feelings, but you don't understand the principle of 'a small loss is a big deal', right? Judy has made it very clear just now, as long as you calmly adjust for a few days, this state can be fully recovered, but if you insist on going your own way and don't listen to the advice of our medical team, what kind of consequences will it cause? But it’s impossible to predict! Mr. Brown, please think carefully before making a decision!”

"Don't think about it, I will continue to play later." When everyone was "stalemate", the party "Black Mamba" took the initiative to speak.

Hearing this, Mike Brown was overjoyed, while Gary Vitti frowned.

"Bryant, you have to think about it, this is not a joke." Gary Vitti said: "You should be very clear about Judy's judgment, she will not lie."

"I understand." Kobe said: "But this kind of situation has not happened before, so there is no need to pay more attention to it."

PS: In reality, Metta Shiping did miss 6 games of this series, and came back forcibly in the last game.

As for Kobe, in addition to being tired that season, his face was still tired. Although it was cruel, there was nothing he could do. He had gradually lost the "superhuman fitness" he was so proud of in the past.
