I really just want to be a role player

Chapter 264 Eating cakes without throwing up is also a talent!

Los Angeles Times: Gasol made a perfect debut for the Lakers, and Kobe welcomed the perfect second master!

L.A. Today: Kobe Bryant Switches to On-Court Love, Gasol Is the One He Wants!

ESPN: Gasol made his debut with 24 points and 12 rebounds, the Lakers ushered in a new nuclear weapon! !

Sports Illustrated: The Lakers are not happy about winning, Kobe Bryant only scored 6 points and 8 assists in the battle with injuries! !
……

In the early morning of the next day, Gasol's debut performance satisfied the curiosity of the North American sports circle. Seeing Gasol's performance, everyone knew that the Lakers were making money. Gasol was really what Kobe said. He wanted to want people.

In a villa in Miami, O'Neal watched the sports page of "USA Today" while eating lunch. He saw the photo of Gasol and Kobe hugging each other, and then scanned the data of Gasol's debut. When he saw Kobe's performance, he suddenly burst into a smile, eating donuts and singing his favorite songs.

Then, he called his agent and asked for a plane ticket to Atlanta, where there is a legendary Gold Club. When deciding on the next stop, when he decided to leave Miami, he wanted to revisit the old place and find himself ambition.

You ask if O'Neal doesn't need to play games?
Just don't ask.

He and Riley have fallen out, and now the Heat have 38 losses and 9 wins. Yes, the number of victories is only 9, and the Heat have entered a bad rhythm. It doesn't make any sense whether O'Neal plays or not.

On February 2, Atlanta, Phillips Arena.

Night falls.

At this time, the home court of the Eagles is about to hold a regular game against the Lakers. The lights are bright and the crowds are overwhelming.

In the visiting team's locker room, Jackson asked again about Kobe's pinky injury.

"Really can't stop, the Lakers can't take your little finger aggravating.

Perhaps, stop, take a good rest before the All-Star game, and the hidden danger of the little finger injury can be minimized. "

"I get it, God's not on our side, the Lakers have so many injuries right now, who knows what's going to happen tomorrow?
However, I refuse to rest.

I want to play against God, injuries don't really break us.

Also, my little finger is just dislocated, which doesn't bother me. Kobe shook his head and stubbornly rejected Coach Jackson's persuasion to ask him to truce.

In other words, Iverson can still persist with more than 10 injuries all over his body, Jordan can still persist with a 38-degree high fever, Kobe Bryant only dislocated his little finger, but he has to rest, it is a joke!
"I heard O'Neal is in Atlanta and will be watching tonight's game.

I have experienced his narrow-mindedness, and he just wanted to see the true power of the combination of me and Gasol.

Naturally, I want to fulfill his wish. I can’t let our old man down. I have to greet him well. Although O’Neill is already a shark with no future and no threat, who told me to have sex with him for 8 years? Teammates, we must not let him be disappointed..."

Seeing the coldness in Kobe's eyes and O'Neal's watching the game, Jackson knew that no matter how hard he tried to persuade him, it was impossible to persuade such a paranoid Kobe.

Might as well go with him.

The dislocation of the little finger will affect the performance of shooting, but it is not a major injury risk. The truce is just to be more stable, and there seems to be nothing wrong with not truce.

Moreover, as the coach of the team, he also looks forward to Kobe and Gasol fighting together to play a tacit understanding, and he also wants to see the shining pictures of both of them.

Su Bei also knew that Kobe's little finger was injured, but he asked if it was serious, but he didn't take it to heart.

He knew that in 09 Kobe used 8 fingers to play against the Magic in the finals, but he really didn't know if Kobe's little finger was injured in 08.

After all, in the previous life, the Lakers lost the championship, not on Kobe, but on the inside of the Lakers. Bynum was injured, Gasol was blown up, and Odom was distracted...

During the warm-up, Kobe and Joe Johnson chatted for a few cents, and the newly joined Mike Bibby also joined in and chatted about some problems.

Kobe's mind was not here, and he chatted casually for a while, then looked to the front row of the audience, trying to find O'Neal.

The 2 meter big fat man should be very conspicuous, but I didn’t find it. I only found Tyronn Lue who was 16. As the teammate who defended Iverson in the 183 Finals and helped the Lakers win the championship, say hello It still should.

Su Beian quietly warmed up and shot, but did not chat with Marvin Williams, the second place in the 05 class. After all, he is not familiar with it, so he can't teach him how to win the championship, right?

Therefore, the days of a few cents are also saved.

At this time, on the big screen in the arena, the starting lineups of the two sides for tonight's match were also displayed.

The Eagles started with five Tigers, Al Horford, Josh Smith, Marvin Williams, Joe Johnson, Mike Bibby.

The Lakers started with 5 players, Gasol, Odom, Subei, Kobe, Fisher.

The game will be conducted directly by TNT radio, with Barkley and Kenny Smith partnering to explain.

"The Eagles have been rotten for so many years, and finally saw a chance to hit the playoffs.

Now they are ranked seventh in the Eastern Conference with a record of 21 wins and 24 losses. If they want to finally get tickets to the playoffs, they still need to test the ability of this young army to fight tough battles. The players on this team speak well I don't know, but there are still a lot of talents, which can be called full of talent.

04年的17顺位新约什，05年的榜眼马文，07年的探花霍福德，还有乔约翰逊这名06/07赛季场均可以轰下25分4篮板4助攻的全明星后卫，还有刚刚加盟的98年榜眼迈克毕比，巅峰可以砍下21分5助攻的准全明星控卫。

The point guard position that has plagued the Eagles for several years has been solved, and now the only thing left is the thickness of the bench and the accumulation of experience.

The Eagles have won 2 consecutive victories and are in a good state. They are facing back-to-back at home, and the Lakers, who are plagued by injuries, still have a 4% chance of repelling the Lakers' visits. "

"I think it's 3%, Mike Bibby still needs time to get used to it, and O'Neal is still watching the game in the VIP room, Kobe knows, so why not get mad?
I originally invited him to come to the commentary booth as a guest, but he said it was not necessary.

If he was invited to the 'Golden Club', I think he would have agreed before I finished speaking. It's a pity that O'Neill refused as the commentator said.

I even found a way for O'Neal to continue basketball after he retired, but O'Neal didn't understand my intentions and simply refused. "

"If you still have a three-year contract of 3 million yuan and an annual salary of 6100 million yuan, you probably won't think much of the commentator's salary, unless it's for extra money. Otherwise, O'Neill would rather sit in the VIP room and eat ice cream than Sitting on the commentary stand and listening to your big mouth talking nonsense...

Okay, let’s talk about the Lakers. Actually, there is nothing to say. Gasol’s joining has made the Lakers a super team. I really can’t imagine the picture of the Lakers losing. The winning rate of 7% is probably still underestimated... "

The game is on!

beep-!
When the whistle sounded, the referee threw the basketball high in his hand. Gasol defeated Horford and scored the first attack for the Lakers.

"Fisher dribbled the ball across half court and immediately passed it to Kobe, who didn't play and handed the basketball to his "love."

Gasol received the ball in a low post and leaned back against Horford. Joe Johnson immediately shrank back to the defense. After Gasol was flanked, he passed the basketball to Kobe, who transferred it to Su Bei.

Catch the ball, jump up, throw your hands up and try to shoot a [-]-point jump shot..."

Marvin Williams showed off his physical talent, quickly rushed in front of Su Bei, and interfered with Su Bei's three-pointer.

Bang-dang-!
Su Bei's three-pointer attempt missed.

It is not unreasonable to try and die.

"The Lakers' offense is not over yet. The moment Kobe passed the ball, he cut in and created a rebounding triangle with Gasol and Odom at the basket.

Odom caught Josh Smith's body that was about to bounce off the rim forcibly, got the rebound easily, lifted the ball, and after Josh Smith's body flew into the sky, he immediately handed the basketball to Kobe..."

Bang-dang-!
Kobe jumped up from the basket, pulled the pole to avoid the block, dunked with his left hand, scored the basketball, and opened the scoring account for the Lakers.

2 to 0! !
"Kobe got the lineup he wanted, the supporting teammates he wanted, and the chance to hit the championship.

The Lakers' scoring has become easy, their height has improved, and their rebounds have been guaranteed. It's no wonder that O'Neal will come to watch the game.

Obviously, O'Neal is worried that he won 4 championships, but he can't stop Kobe from catching up from behind and even surpassing him.

I understand O'Neal's heart very well. Being surpassed by his younger brother in the number of championships is the last thing he wants to see.

If Kobe achieves the transcendence, and therefore overwhelms O'Neal in NBA history, O'Neal estimates that the donuts will not be delicious. "

"So, you are very smart, and you haven't won a championship, so you don't have to be surpassed, and eating donuts is delicious, right?"

"..."

Off the court, the camera pointed at the VIP room on the third floor, and O'Neill had a thoughtful look on his face.

Obviously, the Lakers have regained the championship posture. Kobe has reliable teammates on the field and can score easily, which deeply touched his nerves.

"On the field, the Eagles' offensive rounds, Mike Bibby pushed very fast, and played run and gun battles, which can bring out the talent battle.

The Eagles had a clear idea. Mike Bibby hit the ground in the frontcourt while he was on the move, and passed the basketball to Josh Smith who was rushing to the frontcourt.

Taking the ball, dribbling one step, Josh Smith took three steps... no, two steps, he jumped up from the paint area, his body collapsed, and he jumped very high. He wanted to buy a split dunk with one hand and blast the basketball into the basket .

Odom's talent is not inferior to Josh Smith, but, facing Josh Smith's impact and desperate style of play, Odom lost in momentum, he dodged..."

Bang-dang-!
Josh Smith dunked with one hand, blasted the basketball into the basket, and scored two points.

2 to 2! !
After the goal landed, Josh Smith kept nodding excitedly, bouncing around happily and pleasing the fans.

Compared with Joe Johnson's low-key and restrained, the flamboyant and passionate Josh Smith wins the hearts of fans more.

After all, Josh Smith's style of play is more entertaining.

In the 07/08 season, the fourth season in the league, Josh Smith in the contract year played his peak performance, averaging 18 points and 6 rebounds per game. As long as he is given more shots and gets 20+, it is like drinking Water is generally simple.

In the offensive round of the Lakers, Fisher received the ball to the frontcourt and immediately distributed the ball to Kobe.

"Possessing an offensive triple threat position, Kobe walks around and finds Joe Johnson not letting go.

Do you think it is possible that Joe Johnson didn't regard Kobe's three-point shot as alive?

Perhaps, Joe Johnson doesn't care how many points Kobe can get from three-pointers, because he doesn't get as many three-pointers as he does.

Once upon a time, Joe Johnson was the most accurate and stable player in the Suns shooting three-pointers. What can Kobe compare with?
It’s not uncommon to put a snake, and Kobe is not used to Joe Johnson, he put away his steps, immediately pulled the ball up, raised his hand for a three-pointer and shot a fadeaway jumper..."

Joe Johnson predicted Kobe's attack style, and quickly threw himself in front of Kobe, covering Kobe's eyes with his big hands with a height of 2 meters.

Kobe can only rely on the feeling of jumping up to throw the basketball to the basket.

Bang-dang-!
Kobe's three-pointer was a flaw, and there was an injury on his little finger, but he chose to shoot a three-pointer with a fadeaway jumper.

"Josh Smith jumps high, grabs the rebound, hands the ball to Mike Bibby, Fisher closes, doesn't give the Eagles a talent fight.

Mike Bibby took possession of the ball to the frontcourt, played positional warfare, saw the Lakers shrink, blocked the basket and the two-point shooting area, and immediately handed over the basketball to Joe Johnson.

Putting up three offensive threats, Joe Smith took a step and put it away, also copied Kobe's homework, raised his hand for a three-pointer and shot a fadeaway jumper..."

Kobe's defense is also to the extreme.

Swish-!
Joe Smith's three-point shot, hit!

The nickname of singles Joe is not for nothing. It feels like Joe Smith is not well-known, but his strength is unmatched and leveraged.

2 to 5! !
"The way the Eagles play is somewhat similar to the Nuggets.

A quick offense means all the people are soldiers, and in positional warfare, let Joe Johnson play the point forward.

This style of play is indeed the easiest tactic for young teams to play.

The offense is very state-dependent, but the upper limit depends on the defensive end. The Eagles' defense speed is very fast, and they also shrink to block the penalty area and encircle the two-point area.

The Eagles' interior height is not good, and Horford is only 2 meters, but the players are talented, super mobile, and they are all swing players. "

"In the offensive round of the Lakers, Kobe did not continue to wave, and the injury on his little finger somewhat affected his touch.

The basketball was handed over to Su Bei, and the triangle offensive tactic began to work.

Gasol and Odom screen swap positions, Gasol moves to the right, Fisher and Subei play an outside screen.

Subei blocked Mike Bibby, and Fisher ran to the right three-point corner and received a pass from Subei. Marvin Williams could only rush to change defense.

Gasol pulled out to catch the ball. At this moment, Fisher and Subei, with Gasol as the axis, cut into the penalty area on the left and right sides to form an offensive triangle.

Gasol blocked Mike Bibby's body, and at the same time handed the basketball to Su Bei, pulled the ball up, and Su Bei shot a two-point jumper from close range..."

Horford swept over to block the shot, but it was too late.

Swish-!
After Su Bei hit the iron with a three-pointer, he scored two points and opened his personal scoring account.

4 to 5! !
"With Bynum out injured, Gasol filled his spot perfectly.

Gasol is too versatile, attacking, supporting, covering, passing... omnipotent.

The triangle offense for the Lakers is running very smoothly, Gasol is playing what the Lakers want..."

Of course, Subei also has something, eating cakes without throwing up is also a talent!
