Chapter 213 I want to meet the old guys in San Antonio for a while(2/2)
On the plane, Nick Young patted Lin Tian on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Lin! You didn't lie to us! You still brought us to Oklahoma!"
The other players also laughed when they heard this.
No one will deny Lin Tian's contribution to the team. Without him, the playoffs would be a distant dream for the Lakers.
After losing to g6, Lin Tian's speech in the locker room did have a big impact on the players' hearts.
Howard also looked at Lin Tian with approval: "With you and me guarding the inside! The Thunder want to score in the inside like they are constipated!"
The players laughed again.
The expressions of Lin Tian and Kobe were slightly serious.
He said loudly: "Guys! We can't always feel this good! If we want to win the seventh game, we need everyone's efforts! Now there is an opportunity to create a miracle of black 6 in front of us! I
I hope everyone can do their best for this! Tell all those who underestimate us! Our goal is not just the playoffs! It is not just to be complacent after reaching the first round! It is the championship!"
Hearing Lin Tian's passionate speech, Kobe's eyes showed approval. This kid is becoming more and more aware of how to lead a team.
Kobe took the lead in applauding, and other players responded and quickly applauded.
After everyone stopped applauding, Kobe continued: "Before G6 started, everyone thought we would fail! I know the team was even ready to let me give a retirement speech, but we told them with actual actions! We
I am not willing to stop in the first round! I also hope that the next game is not the last game of my career, because I haven’t played enough yet! I want to go and meet the old guys in San Antonio!”
Kobe's slightly joking tone made the players couldn't help laughing.
But after laughing, their eyes became firmer.
…
When the entire Lakers team showed up at a hotel near the Pisacek Energy Center, the hotel was surrounded by Lakers fans who had come all the way.
To be precise, they are Kobe fans. Most of them wear purple and gold jerseys with No. 8 or No. 24.
Lin Tian could barely see the 39 jersey and the 23 jersey in twos and threes in the crowd. This jersey number belonged to Howard and him.
Someone among the fans shouted: "Kobe! I came from San Francisco! Just to see you! I didn't buy a ticket!"
"Kobe! I love you! Damn it! Don't retire!"
"The Lakers must win!"
The Lakers security personnel wanted to escort Kobe directly back to the hotel, but Kobe, who was a big fan, stopped to sign autographs and take photos with his fans.
Lin Tian and the others didn't have that many fans, so they entered the hotel early.
All players are already familiar with this hotel.
This will also be their last time staying at this hotel this season.
Not long after the luggage was put down, the players walked into the Pisacek Energy Center at the call of the assistant coach.
Returning to the familiar training hall, they quickly got into training.
After half a day of training, Lin Tian dragged his exhausted body back to the hotel.
Nick Young, who usually goes out to have a good time and have a good time when playing away games, stayed at the hotel honestly today.
But just because you don’t go out to play doesn’t mean you don’t play.
He invited Lin Tian to play PS4 with him, which is something that players of his generation love to play.
Lin Tian was not in the mood to play with this and started studying the Thunder's tactics.
Time flies so fast. After two days in Oklahoma, the G7 game between the Lakers and Thunder is finally about to kick off!
This game has received far more attention than the Warriors and Cavaliers.
The level of topic was even comparable to last year's finals.
Although the game didn't start until eight o'clock in the evening, Lin Tian and the others showed up at the arena at around six o'clock.
There are also many celebrities who came to watch the game today.
To Lin Tian's surprise, Nicholson also appeared at the scene.
As a die-hard Lakers fan, Nicholson has never been to other cities to watch games in his life.
This time, he made an exception for the Lakers and Kobe!
During the warm-up period, Westbrook frequently looked back at the Lakers' half court with fierce eyes.
There was quite an atmosphere of tension between the two sides.
As the game time got closer and closer, the atmosphere at the scene became more solemn.
Throughout the Pisacek Energy Center, there were actually many fans wearing purple and gold jerseys.
As far as Lin Tian knows, the average ticket price for today's game is more expensive than the previous one!
The owner of the Thunder also sat in the audience with a slightly complicated mood.
He is very happy because the ticket revenue for today's game has set a record for the Thunder's single-game revenue since the team was founded.
This does not include fans’ spending in the arena.
