Chapter 453 KG at the end of the final peak
At 2:20 pm on February 7th, US time, before the Lakers VS Celtics game, an additional temporary event was added.

That is Kobe's pre-game speech.

Coincidentally, tonight's opponent was the Boston Celtics, whom Buss had always wanted to catch up with.

The Zijin Army VS Green Shirt Army, on such a special day, it seems to be a bit more storytelling.

The lights in the entire Staples Center were dimmed, and then only one special elevated seat was still lit, which was the Lakers seat where Buss Sr. was alive.In his spare time, he would sit in that seat to cheer for the Lakers, but in the future, this scene will never happen again.

Things are different, and no one can reverse it.

Kobe is usually not a person who talks a lot, but tonight, he took the initiative to open up the conversation box and said in a low voice: "On the first day of this week, we lost a great figure in the history of basketball. He is Mr. Jerry Buss. Our most beloved Dr. Bath." After a pause, Bryant continued: "He is an outstanding boss, and he is also a successful helmsman. He was born with a heart that longs for a championship."

……

Here are Kobe's final words:

"We've lost our greatest man at the helm, we've lost our greatest team owner, we've lost our greatest Dr. Bass. Seriously, we're like a bunch of spoiled kids who fight day in and day out. We are spoiled at work. But the young eagle will soar bravely without its mother, and the cheetah will grow strong quickly without its father. Mr. Bass is gone, and it is our Lakers who grow up and face everything by ourselves It’s time for a storm. I love him, so I will give all my blood and energy for the Los Angeles Lakers. May God be kind to him.” Kobe put down the microphone after speaking, and then quietly stepped aside, letting the audience The audience, single-mindedly, gave the old Bass a final applause.

Tang Qian knew that the death of Old Buss was a big blow to the No. 24 Lakers.

Because as the boss, he once gave Kobe too much help, too much care and too much accommodation. At this point, Kobe should empathize with "Magic" Johnson.This is the personality charm of Old Bath. He can always get along well with the core leaders of the team. I don't care about you in your confusion, pain, and adversity.

To apply the summary of Kobe's later generations, without him, I would not be where I am today.

This sentence may not sound sensational or gorgeous, but it is the most true confession of Kobe's heart.

In his 17-year Lakers career, he has changed from a brat to one of the souls of the Lakers. Only Kobe himself knows the contribution of Jerry Buss.Therefore, his gratitude to Old Bath is from the bottom of his heart, without any show or demonstration.

Before the game, Kobe was a little more silent than usual, as if he had said enough tonight, and for the rest, he just needed to prove it with actions and vent.But the Celtics on the opposite side were unmoved, because when it comes to the Lakers, there is only resentment on both sides, no love.They don't give Angelenos any sympathy or handouts.

For the Bostonians, the best memorial gift is to fight with all their strength and defeat the Los Angeles Lakers, the favorite of Old Buss during his lifetime.

There is no doubt that this game was scheduled to be broadcast live across the United States. In order to show respect for the old Bass, TNT TV specially used the playoff format to broadcast this "ordinary" regular season.O'Neill, Barkley, Miller, Smith, all four people are present, sitting in the broadcast booth, waiting for the start of the game.

This season, Boston is still barely the so-called "celtics". Why use the word "barely"?This is because after this season, the glory of the Green Army in 08 will fall apart and completely become a rebuilding team.This season's current record of seventh in the Eastern Conference is also a sign of decline. The first round of the playoffs was overturned, so the 2012-2013 season became the last picture of this popular team.

Then, together with the Zijin Army on the opposite side, they completely withdrew from the ranks of winning the championship.

It's like the entanglement of fate, the cutting is constant, and the reason is still chaotic.

The demise of the two teams was so quick, and they became candidates for the lottery in the blink of an eye.

So this season, this will be the final fight between the two rival teams in the near future.

Otherwise, in the next season, both of them will have no so-called "fighting" at all.

"Bryant, although the helm of your Lakers has passed away, we still have to defeat you. This is an inseparable grievance between the Bostonians and the Los Angeles people." After hearing Pierce's words, Kobe's expression remained unchanged. Just said in a low voice: "I know, I will take you down tonight, and then give Mr. Bass an explanation."

"Do you think you can succeed?" Paul Pierce said looking at Kobe.

"I will do what I say." Kobe's face was so serious that it could almost freeze.

Back in the regular season, Tang Qian entered the role of the bench again, but when he came off the bench, he and Nash cooperated and played against the bench, almost dizzy.Jason Collins and Ricks Wilcox couldn't keep up with Tang Qian's mobility and agility at all. After a pick and roll, Boston's inside line became riddled with holes in an instant.It can be seen that compared with last season, Boston's bench strength has plummeted, and it has completely lost the ability of bench gangsters.

Just such a combination of inside substitutes can't stop Tang Qian at the moment.

So he made 4 of 4 shots in a single quarter and scored 3 points in less than 8 minutes. Standing next to the passing master Steve Nash has such an advantage.Your personal data will always be improved to a certain extent, even overflowing.The main hole of the Lakers in the first quarter was filled in less than 3 minutes by the substitute, and they even surpassed by one point.In the second quarter, Kobe stepped up his personal offense, "Shut up~" three consecutive 2-pointers, which made the Lakers take off completely. After halftime, they led the Bostonians by 64 points 55-9.

The Bostonians launched a counterattack at the beginning of the third quarter. Paul Pierce and Courtney Lee scored 11 points together, which made the Lakers unexpectedly unable to resist for a while.Howard, who performed well in the first half, was also under the full control of the old KG and put up a strong defense, so his hit rate plummeted and the number of turnovers skyrocketed.After most of the quarter, the Celtics filled up the 9-point difference in the first half. Boston's sophistication is definitely not blown out.

However, because it is the regular season and they are all veterans, they have been unable to play the whole game.In fact, let alone 48 minutes, look at the average playing time of the Celtics' main players this season, and none of them exceeds 30+.The only one, Rajon Rondo, has already withdrawn from the ranks of the Celtics this season due to injury.

What does such a low average playing time of the main players mean?Doug Rivers' game time distribution is amazing?No, of course not. Even the San Antonio Spurs, who are often dubbed "health balls", are not as exaggerated as the Celtics this season.At least in terms of statistics, Duncan, Parker, and Leonard all played more than 30+ minutes.This shows that it is not that Doug Rivers allocates playing time for players reasonably, but that the current Boston Celtics, there are really few people who can consume and use for a long time.

Furthermore, after the All-Star Game, the playoffs are getting closer, and the goal of the Boston Celtics has also shifted from the regular season record to preparing for the playoffs.Based on this principle, Doug Rivers can only temporarily "preserve strength" to prevent the team's main players and veterans from being overdrawn and exhausted.Therefore, this gives the Lakers No. 29, a lot of room to play.

bang~
When the two sides entered the bench time again, as soon as Tang Qian came on the court, he staged a "high-altitude connection" with Nash, and then smashed the basket with both hands into the net.

The 10th point of the game, 5 of 5 shots, [-]% shooting.

This is the personal data sheet that Tang Qian has handed over so far.

Seeing this, Doug Rivers immediately replaced Avery Bradley and Kevin Garnett. There was no way. It is not the same.After seeing Kevin Garnett play again, Tang Qian also walked over and began to exert a defensive influence in advance.In any case, the name of KG alone is enough for him to concentrate and go all out.

Otherwise, although Garnett is approaching 37 years old, with his footsteps and skills, he still has a way to beat Tang Qian.

After all, the person who used to fight for hegemony with Tim Duncan, how could he be so weak?Even if the physical function declines, KG's court experience and skills are becoming more and more proficient and perfect.This gave Tang Qian great defensive pressure.

However, avoiding is not his court style. With a side step, Tang Qian got entangled with KG Garnett who just got on.

This season's Kevin Garnett is a little older than last season, and in Tang Qian's memory, this will be KG's last All-Star years.After this season is over, the famous evergreen tree KG will finally step down from the altar and accept the ruthless slaughter of the pig-killing knife of fate.

Become an out-and-out average starting 4.

So it is said that there are very few times to compete with KG at the end of the peak.

Tang Qian liked him better before, even if someone ridiculed him as a "fake tough guy", it doesn't matter, because he is a continuation of the iron-blooded football style of the last century, and now the fourth and fifth positions who play like him are indeed about to disappear.Perhaps compared to "Stone Buddha" Duncan, Garnett's playing style is a little bit outside, but this does not affect his court spirit, trash talk, yelling, provocation, passion, this is the label of Kevin Garnett's game .Tang Qian wanted to have a serious fight with this man before he "grows old".

In this way, it can be regarded as fulfilling a wish in his heart.
