Kobe Bryant through time

Chapter 152
Ling Yu hung up the phone lightly, his face became more dignified.Del's disappointment can be clearly felt from the phone call. Although he concealed it extremely, how can he hide this from Ling Yu, not to mention that Ling Yu is also quite disappointed at this time.

"Bryant, you should take care of your injuries during these days and don't think about anything else."

"A torn Achilles tendon is no big deal. You are still young, and there is still a long way to go. There are plenty of opportunities."

"Don't think about the team anymore. I will take care of it. You can rest easy and recuperate. When the next season comes, there will be a big explosion. Hehe!"

Thinking of this, Ling Yu couldn't help laughing bitterly. These words seemed to be words of encouragement, but they were the bitter confession of Del's heart. Once he was injured, the firepower from the outside line would definitely drop, and Del would definitely hand over the main attack point to O'Neill. Judging from a performance, the Rockets will definitely continue to use wheel-to-wheel tactics, doing everything possible to consume O'Neal's physical energy, and then seek offensive opportunities.

If this is the case, the Lakers will definitely not be able to pass the Rockets, which also means that Del will face more doubts, whether it is the call of players or the arrangement of tactics, they will all be blamed.

Flies don't bite seamless eggs, as long as the Lakers' record does not improve, they will be criticized by the outside world.Del was very clear about this, and he was already prepared in his heart.

"Come on, anyway, sooner or later."

Del chuckled, turned on the video recorder, and watched the video of the last game.

If he is in his position, he will seek his own affairs, and if he is still in the position of coach for a day, he must do his best to make the team progress. This is what Del will do.

Quietly, another day passed, Ling Yu, who had been awake all night, seemed to have figured it out.

The NBA is becoming more and more commercialized. In order to earn more money and for their own interests, the team can give up everything. Whether it is a meritorious player or a coach, as long as the team owner feels that it is worthless, they will be desperate. Clean it out.This situation abounds. The Big Three of Lao Kai have been cleared out of the door. This is the best example.

Thinking of this, Ling Yu smiled lightly, feeling helpless and disappointed.Today, he can leave the hospital and go home to recuperate, which also means that he has silently accepted the fact that this season is over, and he doesn't want to make any more efforts, because the rest of his career is still very long.However, Ling Yu was still confused,

What was that thing that Del hadn't had time to say the last time?
"Forget it, let's find a time to ask him." Ling Yu murmured, at this time, Gary and his assistant walked in together, looked at Ling Yu's gentle face, smiled slightly, faintly Say, "Bryant, let's take you home now!"

Ling Yu smiled slightly and said, "Okay!"

Gary smiled, gestured to the assistant, helped Ling Yu up, and helped him go out.

Today, the second day after Ling Yu tore his Achilles tendon, with the help of the paparazzi, the news spread all over the streets.Some people sigh for Ling Yu, and God is jealous of talents; some people choose to remain silent, as is the case with O'Neill.This morning during the team training camp, a group of media reporters gathered outside the arena, carrying a video recorder. When they saw O'Neill coming, they rushed up like crazy. The first question was nothing else. View of a tendon tear.

O'Neill had a sullen face and walked into the arena under the escort of security guards without saying a word.

This is not O'Neill's style. Under normal circumstances, he will always answer a few words and make fun of reporters from time to time.

However, it is so abnormal nowadays, which also makes the media reporters confused and look at each other in blank dismay.
How could they have waited here all morning, and they were entrusted by the company, so they couldn't say that O'Neill didn't say a word or show any expression when they went back, right?
Doesn't that make you look like you're not doing your job well?
No, you can't say that.So, they made a decision, wrote a message and sent it to the company, the content is like this.

"For Bryant's torn Achilles tendon, Shaq is unwilling to express his opinion, there is no expression of regret on his face, and it seems that he doesn't care about this matter."

Is this wrong?It seems normal, but in the Lakers, which is full of internal conflicts, such a report is not afraid to push Shaq and Ling Yu to the forefront and attract more attention.

Of course, besides O'Neill, they also interviewed other people, fearlessly trying to get clues from them, and then added fuel and vinegar to make more wanton reports.

"Bryant tore his Achilles tendon, which is terrible."

Eddie gritted his teeth, drank lightly, and spat out trash talk from time to time, venting his depressed emotions.

Fisher sighed deeply, and said disappointedly: "Bryant, my good brother, I am very sorry for his injury. However, I know he will definitely come back, and I believe in him."

The Lakers players were interviewed by the media one by one, showing loss and depression. Only O'Neal remained silent, showing no expression on his face.

In addition to O'Neill, there is another important person, and that is Del.

Del sighed and said: "I am very sad about Bryant's injury. He is a very talented player with a lot of potential waiting to be discovered. However, I believe he will come out of the injury. He is Such a person." After speaking, Del's eyes showed a firm look.

There was a commotion below, whispering, and then, a voice sounded from the corner.

"Mr. Del, the outside world is saying that the relationship between Shaq and Bryant is not very harmonious. Is this true?"

Del smiled lightly, as if he had been prepared for a long time, and said softly, "How do you know about this? I don't even know. Oh, by the way, next time if you know something like this, please tell me click."

Del said it easily, but his heart was extremely sour and helpless.

Now that this question has been thrown out, those guys naturally don't mind talking about another question.

"It is said that Shaq has a problem with your tactical arrangement. Is there such a thing?"

"Nonsense." Del said softly, "My tactics are tailor-made for Shaq, how could he have any objections?"

The morning press conference finally ended near noon, and Del walked out with heavy steps.

Just now he tried his best to cover up the team's looming contradictions, but this does not mean that the team is really that good, and these paparazzi will not report according to what he said, and will definitely make use of the topic to make their words more "subtle".

"Ha ha."

Del chuckled, put his hands behind his back, and walked to the arena.

Time flies quietly, tonight, the Lakers will sit at home to face the challenge of the Rockets. For them, this game is very important, and they can't afford to lose, because there is no team in history. :0 In the case of falling behind, the final comeback was achieved and the next round was entered.Therefore, in this game, the Lakers must show all their strength and fight with all their strength.

Del took a deep breath, stared at the players, and said seriously: "Tonight's game, we must win, everyone cheers."

Everyone gritted their teeth and nodded, showing the attitude of letting go.Del glanced at O'Neill, pondered for a moment, and said, "Shaq, it's up to you tonight."

O'Neill was stunned for a moment, and seemed to have an unimaginable feeling. After a while, he came back to his senses, frowned, and nodded solemnly.No matter what the outside world says, the game is the most important thing.

Del gave another brief warning, and said lightly: "That's it, everyone should play hard, let's play."

Everyone nodded, geared up, and walked onto the court.

With the whistle of the referee, the whole game began. The Lakers got the ball and took the lead in attacking.Eddie held the ball outside, lingered for a while, then Campbell's screen gave the ball to O'Neal, and then he pulled away and ran to the bottom corner.

Not surprisingly, the Lakers still insist on focusing on the inside, while the Rockets' tactics are still wheel-to-wheel battles. The combination of Big Dream and the young center's inside twin towers, taking turns to attack, keep sticking up. Fearless is looking for confrontation and consumes O'Neal's physical strength. .

Perhaps with the lessons from the last time, plus Del's instructions before playing, O'Neill learned well.He turned his back to Dameng, didn't dribble the ball anxiously, waited for what would happen to Dameng, passed the ball without any hesitation, and ran out after him.

The Rockets' tactics are fearless. O'Neal takes the ball and defends close to him.

However, Dameng was wrong this time. Just as O'Neal took two steps, Eddie passed the ball back. As soon as O'Neal got the ball, he turned around without hesitation, picked up the small hook, wiped the ball and hit the ball into the The basket took the lead in scoring two points for the Lakers.

A ball can't represent anything, so the Rockets' tactics have nothing to change, it's still a war of attrition.Back, the Rockets attacked, Barkley pulled to the outside, received the ball from the glider, accelerated the dribble directly, and then gave the ball to Dameng with a hit.

Dameng took the ball with his back to O'Neal, waited for O'Neal to defend himself, then dribbled the ball and leaned on O'Neal.

Dameng gritted her teeth, punched hard, and kept staring at O'Neill.Look at O'Neill again, facing the big dream's rush to the top, he can only fight hard.

The basket is just behind, and Dameng can already turn around and make a layup with a small hook.However, he did not choose to do this. He glanced at the side and rear from the corner of his eye, and then he hit the ground without looking at people, and passed the ball to the high-speed glider. The latter took the ball and jumped high. Facing Campbell's defense, a dunk came directly. Not only did he score the ball, but he also made a foul and got a chance to add a penalty.

"It's definitely not going to work like this." Ling Yu in front of the TV couldn't help frowning.Although there were blind spots in the live broadcast, he saw the Rockets' attack just now, and he immediately understood the Rockets' intentions.

"Damn it, they did this trick." Ling Yu gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and drank lightly.
