My Name is Kobe Bryant

Chapter 279 The Stormy East

"Guys, I know a lot of media now say that our team's rookies hit the rookie wall." Harris spoke before the game.

For Harris, this is a game that cannot be lost! If they lose to the Cavaliers, the Lakers will lose their second straight at home.

The two-game losing streak is something that the Lakers have never experienced this season. After O'Neal is absent, this matter is likely to come true.

The league's No. 1 team has lost two games in a row at home. This is a devastating blow to the morale of the young Lakers team. As a head coach, he will do his best to prevent this from happening. Moreover, the Lakers team has experienced too few losses this season. Harris is very worried that the Lakers players who have not tasted failure will be depressed because of the loss.

This is very likely to happen. Many youth teams made great strides at the beginning of the season, but suddenly lost their voices in the middle and late part of the season.

Therefore, boosting morale is very important. Most of the Lakers' current main players are rookies. The characteristic of recruits is that morale comes and goes quickly.

When morale is high, even Fisher can play like a star. Once the morale is low and the hand is not going well, these recruits are the easiest to lose thousands of miles.

Just like Big Ben in the previous game, it would be unrealistic to say that he was 100% crushed against Kemp. It's just that they were beaten a few times at the beginning, and morale was low, which led to a series of defeats in the follow-up.

Morale is so important to this Lakers team!

"Everyone needs to know that we are the first in the league! Our record is comparable to last year's 72-win Bulls! Our offensive and defensive efficiency is among the best!"

"We are a strong team, and we must have the confidence of a strong team. We will not be arrogant in victory, and we will not be discouraged in defeat."

"Now is the time to prove it to all! Rookie Wall? There is no such thing. The home crowd is cheering outside, waiting for you to show up! Don't let them down!"

"Also, who did not satisfy me in this game, hehe." Harris sneered, and the corner of his evil mouth curled up.

The Lakers players, including Kobe, couldn't help but shudder.

No, don't offend the narrow-minded coach!

This game must be won!

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. This is the live commentary of the NBA brought to you by TNT! I am Annie Johnson II!" Join Turner Sports TNT as commentator.

"Good evening, everyone. This is Gail Goodrich." Goodrich is West's backcourt partner. He was just elected to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame last summer. He is a 71-72 champion and a five-time All-Star. 1 best lineup. As a Lakers legend, he was invited to be a guest of this game.

Compared with NBC, the current TNT has a lot of coffee spots.

"Tonight's live broadcast is brought to you by the two of us! Enjoy a wonderful night. Gail, which side do you prefer in this game?"

"Of course the Lakers!"

"Oh? You must know that they just lost to the Supersonics at home. In the last game, everyone could see that the players on the team were not in good condition. Why are you so optimistic about them?"

"Too many Lakers players are rookies. They don't know how to allocate their physical energy reasonably. After half of the long season, coupled with the consumption of the All-Star Game, they have traveled to and from Canada and other away games in the past few games. It is normal for the state to fluctuate. But , I believe they can adjust quickly, after all, they are a group of young people with a lot of energy!"

"Young people are very angry! Reasonable!"

"Another point is that Cleveland is just a team struggling on the edge of the playoffs. Their star happens to be a guard, and the strongest part of the Lakers is the perimeter defense. Kobe, Eddie and Bruce's defense, even The Bulls are going to have a headache. As long as the game goes on, Kobe will destroy Trier Brandon."

"Gail is very optimistic about Kobe."

"Kobe has all the qualities of a superstar, and he will be the greatest star in any era. If he was in the Lakers in the 1970s, then I can only substitute him." Gail Goodrich exaggeratedly hit a For example.

"Gail, don't be humble. I believe that you and Kobe can destroy most teams just by shooting in the backcourt!" As a commentary partner, they must help each other to praise each other.

"Let's take a look at the starting lineups of both sides. The Lakers' lineup is still the same. It seems that a loss did not allow Harris to adjust the lineup."

"Cavs starting lineup: PG Trier Brandon, SG Bobby Fiers, SF Chris Mills, PF Tyron Hill, C Mark West."

"The young Cavaliers are trying to replicate last season's performance this season and enter the playoffs. They are currently 28 wins and 22 losses, ranking seventh in the Eastern Conference."

"Trill Brandon is a key factor in their success. This 1.80-meter point guard has excellent breakthrough ability. He can average 19.5 points and 6.3 assists per game."

"Behind the Cavaliers are the Washington Bullets with 26 wins and 23 losses, and the Orlando Magic with 22 wins and 24 losses. These three teams are strong contenders for the Eastern Conference playoffs. The Cavaliers currently have a slight upper hand."

"Speaking of the Magic, it's a pity. A young military team with two superstars and a promising future has been reduced to the point of competing for the playoffs after only one season. They just fired coach Brian Hill."

"This is a big event. It was Brian Hill who led the Sharks and Penny to kill Jordan and reach the finals. But the management actually put the hat of the current team's defeat on his head and kicked out this meritorious coach. "

"The last game the Bulls slaughtered the Magic was too ruthless, and Jordan seemed to have anger in his heart. Since his comeback, it is rare to see Michael play like this. He literally swallowed pennies alive."

"I doubt he, in his heart, treats Penny like Kobe."

"Haha, it's very possible."

"Pence's leadership performance this season is really poor. The team has no winning percentage, and he has no statistics. Not only was he left behind by Grant Hill, but he was also caught up by Kobe."

"I hope the new coach Rich Adubatu can bring some changes to this Magic team!"

"In addition, Reggie Miller of the Indiana Pacers will return from injury recently. Perhaps they will also join the ranks of the playoffs under the leadership of Larry Brown."

"In this era, it is really difficult to enter the playoffs~ Every team has more or less stars, and even superstars are vying for the playoffs."

"And our Lakers, in such an era, are among the best, ranking first in the league. Doesn't this just show our strength?"
