Chapter 126 Kobe's Heart Is Good(1/2)
Andrew Bynum did not expect that even if he posted Fan Xi's name on the cabinet in the corner, it would not change a clear fact.
That is, the team's focus has shifted towards Fanxi.
When Kobe Bryant returned to the locker room and saw this, he took the initiative to change his position to Fanshie's side, and then Lamar Odom also changed his position. Pau Gasol did not want to be unsociable.
people.
When these main cores moved closer, Bynum's original central position was instantly marginalized.
He became a loner.
Although the management treated him well and tried their best to help him come back, the staff also maintained his privileges as before.
However, when he saw that Fan Xi also had such privileges as himself, he felt very uncomfortable.
He wants to prove himself.
This is why he came back early, claiming that he no longer has any problems.
But actually, there are still some problems.
He felt pain during training, but said he didn't.
Phil Jackson asked him how he felt and strictly controlled his playing time.
Bynum wanted to go to the physical therapy room for a while before the game started, but found Kobe and Fanci lying there, chatting interestingly.
Fanci became the brightest star in Los Angeles last night. His performance at Taylor Swift's concert made people think about it and made him the focus of media attention.
But for Kobe, his relationship with Fan Xi has taken another step forward, and he now feels like a real family member towards Fan Xi.
Fan Xi helped him win back his wife, and his wife Vanessa also recognized Fan Xi very much. She felt that Fan Xi was an honest person, and she was very interested in Fan Xi's scandal.
This is why Kobe invited Fanshi to visit his home on the weekend.
Fan Xi did not refuse.
Tonight's opponent is the Golden State Warriors.
It's like a reincarnation.
The game in which Fanci rose to prominence was when the Golden State Warriors played away against the Lakers. Now that he has established a foothold with the Lakers and has become a future successor, the Warriors came to visit him again.
When Stephen Curry saw Fanshie, he was always amazed.
He felt incredible about Fan Xi's experience during this period. He said that he never dreamed that Fan Xi would achieve such amazing achievements.
He said that he watched Fanci's last game against Chris Paul, and he thought the scene in which Fanci shook Paul was the best in history.
Fanci also congratulated Stephen Curry.
Curry finally became the core of the Warriors. The Warriors management made a brave decision. They directly traded the long-famous Monta Ellis to strengthen the second-year player Stephen Curry and take over the team's offensive responsibility.
Leave it to this cute little girl.
"So, what is your relationship with Taylor Swift? Have you made it official? When can I meet you and call my girlfriend?"
Curry and Fanci also have a family-like relationship. They were best friends in college, shared the same team room, and even sometimes shared the same bed.
Fan Xi thought for a while and said, "There will be opportunities. However, the current situation is more complicated."
Fan Xi didn't know what to say to Curry.
Then don't say it.
Good friends are like this. They don't ask for details. They both know that if the other person wants to talk, they will definitely talk to themselves.
The game starts soon.
Andrew Bynum was still entrusted with the important task and he was able to start.
There is a huge force within the Lakers supporting Bynum, and they still feel that Bynum is the future of the Lakers.
After all, the super center has always been the foundation of the Lakers.
Bynum gets a starting start.
Fanci, Kobe, Dunleavy, and Gasol are the other four.
In theory, this is the Lakers' strongest starting lineup.
Before this, the Lakers had always used a triangle offensive.
However, when Bynum came up, it immediately started to look like a four-corner offense.
Triangles are the most stable shapes, but quadrilaterals are not.
Bynum's return did not increase the Lakers' combat effectiveness. On the contrary, it caused serious internal friction and the offense became very unsmooth.
He played too many singles in the paint, slowing down the Lakers' originally smooth offense.
Fanxi's advantages cannot be revealed.
Kobe and Gasol were not greatly affected.
This made the Zen Master feel very embarrassed.
He replaced Bynum in the second half of the first quarter, and Fanci immediately returned to perfect form.
The game continued until the end of the first half, with the Lakers leading by 11 points. Fanci had 11 points, 7 rebounds, 4 rebounds and 2 steals in the half.
Very versatile.
At the beginning of the second half, it was the same starting lineup again, and the lineup began to adjust again.
Jackson felt troubled by this, so he simply replaced Fan Xi and let Bynum play with Gasol and Kobe.
When these three faced the warriors, they raised their arms and struck high. The warriors were also unable to resist and quickly surrendered.
In the end, the Lakers defeated the Warriors 111:99.
Bynum played 21 minutes in his first game back, scoring 15 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block.
high efficiency.
Only when I'm with Fan Xi, the effect is offset.
…
After beating the Warriors, the Lakers continue their road trip.
They traveled to the East, and in Boston, they lost to the Celtics.
In Atlanta, they lost to the Hawks.
Returned to home court and lost again to the Portland Trail Blazers, Dallas Mavericks, and Orlando Magic.
The five-game losing streak dropped the Lakers' record from second place in the Western Conference to fourth place.
Precarious belongs to.
The Lakers have only two regular season games left. First they will play an away game against the Sacramento Kings, and then return home for the final game against the New Jersey Nets.
Both teams have already been declared out of the playoffs.
However, the current state of the Lakers makes people very worried about whether they can win.
Bynum's return did not produce the expected results, but instead caused the team's chemical reaction to completely lose balance.
Experts were shocked. Originally, everyone thought the Lakers were the favorites to win the championship this season. Kobe Bryant's second three consecutive championships in his career were just around the corner.
However, Bynum's return brought a twist to the plot.
Lakers fans were dumbfounded.
Some fans suggested that Bynum simply continue to rest.
However, some fans don't allow it. After all, the center is the key to the playoffs. A team without a center cannot go far.
Then, critics suggested simply letting Fanci play as the sixth man to reduce his proportion of the ball.
This has also attracted criticism from fans, and Fanci's great contributions this season are clearly visible to the naked eye.
Nothing works.
The Lakers are trapped in a classic paradox.
The Sacramento Kings are the last team this year, and they are going for the No. 1 pick in the draft.
But, here's what people didn't expect.
In Satemento, the Lakers lost.
Bynum was blown away by the young rookie, Cousins.
That's right, it exploded.
Cousins lifted Bynum up and hit him. Bynum had no power to fight back, and he kept reaching for the ball.
After the game, Bynum himself explained that it was because his injury had not fully recovered and he was looking for match fitness. As long as he entered the playoffs, he would be full of energy immediately.
Of course these are words to comfort myself.
Fan Xi watched the review of the game and felt that as long as the Lakers did not pass the ball to Bynum, the probability of winning was 100%.
