My Name is Kobe Bryant

Chapter 372 The Impact of Losing

Awkward.

In the Great Western Forum arena, looking at the disappointed fans, the Lakers players were a little embarrassed. They left the field slowly under the watchful eyes of the fans, and they couldn't help feeling a burst of self-blame when they saw the fans of the "70 wins" league collapse their bulletin boards on the ground.

An ideal victory did not come, did not successfully win 70 wins, but returned to the same starting line with the Bulls again - 69 wins and 10 losses.

The Lakers' arrogant young players have come back at a price, which is very heavy. There are three games left in the game, against the Jazz, Kings, and Trail Blazers. Needless to say, the Jazz are second in the West and have the MVP of this season. After Jerry Sloan is ready to deal with the Lakers' offensive system, it is definitely not easy to beat them.

The Kings are currently ninth in the West, with a record of 33 wins and 45 losses, although they have no chance of reaching the top eight in the West and entering the playoffs. But it must be very happy to be able to bite off a piece of meat on the Lakers. Especially Mickey Richmond is definitely a player who is not weaker than Kevin Johnson. This kind of player is very scary when he explodes.

The Blazers are currently fifth in the West with 47 wins and 32 losses. Their team's lineup is the thickest in the league, and even a talented insider like Jermaine O'Neal can only serve as the team's third insider substitute. Coupled with leaders like Isaiah Ryder and Arvidas Sabonis leading the team, they are definitely not an easy bone to chew.

The Lakers players suddenly discovered after the loss that in the last four games, it seemed that the Suns were not the most difficult one to beat. Several other teams, including the Kings, seem to be very difficult to deal with.

If the Lakers win all four games, they have a chance to surpass the Bulls' record of 72 wins and 10 losses last year. And after losing to the Suns, the Lakers players discovered that it might not be a sure thing for them to win 70 wins. This makes the young Lakers players crestfallen.

The Lakers' locker room is a bit dull, and they feel that they have failed the trust of the fans. Even Shaquille O'Neal, who loves to play tricks, didn't say a word.

Kobe shook his head, he was in a good mood. Having experienced countless ups and downs, he can deal with such small situations freely, but if he loses a game, he will win later. Although he didn't win 70 wins at home with a bang, he was also a little angry, but thinking about the composition of the team, this team has too many young players, and it is only natural to encounter such setbacks. Just grow up.

"The Lakers lost?" In Orlando, the Eastern Conference's No. 7 Magic team just won a thrilling 97:89 victory in a head-to-head confrontation with the Eastern Conference's No. 9 Cleveland Cavaliers. Penny Hardaway was a little surprised when he heard the news.

"Yeah, lost to Kevin Johnson. Kevin Johnson is probably back to his prime, and he has the best speed, strength, bounce I've ever seen in a small guy. He didn't lose a beat against Kobe in the fourth quarter." , Blocking the Lakers' hope of a comeback." Hoss Grant took off his goggles.

"So, Chicago is more likely to win the league's No. are very interested.

"It's hard to say, maybe it will be the same record?"

"If the record is the same, who can count as the first in the league?"

"In science popularization time, the one with the higher winning percentage in the division comes first."

"Is that the Lakers or the Bulls?"

"The Lakers' Pacific Division has the Warriors, Clippers, Suns, and Kings. So far they have lost one game to the Suns. The Bulls' Central Division has the Cavaliers, Pistons, Pacers, Bucks, and the Bulls have only lost one game to the Cavaliers."

"Don't think about it! Leave it to the Utah guys from the alliance to have a headache!" Hoss Grant felt that his head was getting bigger.

"It still depends on the situation in the next few games."

"On April 13th, the Bulls will play against the Pistons, and the Lakers will play against the Jazz. Tsk tsk tsk, this scene is really interesting."

"Brother, is it hard to lose?" Jack Nelson's voice came from Kobe's Motorola.

Kobe laughed: "Jack, let the fart go."

"What! You are so presumptuous to your big brother! I also said that I would take you out to relax. You hurt me." Nelson is worthy of being the actor, and a wronged voice came out immediately.

"No. I want to practice."

"Damn it, are you going to see Los Angeles at four in the morning without losing a game?"

"Three o'clock is fine. Are you coming?"

"Oh, I wasn't asleep at that time, so come here."

The two were arguing, and Kobe knew that Nelson wanted to comfort himself in this way.

"Okay, but brother. Your brother won't come to the game between you and the Jazz on the 13th. You won 70 wins and let me know! "The Ghost Story" is released, you can't go, I have to deal with the release."

"Understood. I won 70 wins, and you have the premiere box office data. Let's have another drink."

"It's settled, by the way, are you of legal drinking age?"

Kobe has black hair.

"Coach, don't you need to say something to the players? Do you want them to adjust?" Kurt Rambis asked Lakers coach Harris with a worried expression.

Harris is calm: "They are some good guys, they know what they know. We don't have to force them, they have learned a lesson now."

Kirtland Biss thought for a while and nodded in agreement. Although the Lakers lost to the Suns, the team's arrogance is obviously gone. That's good too. Before the playoffs, adjust the team's mental state to normal, and at the same time take a preventive shot. You must know that the playoffs will inevitably lose. So far, no team has won the championship. Then the psychological adjustment ability after losing is a very important component.

Curt Rambis looked respectfully at Harris, who was preparing to play against the Jazz. He deserved to be the best coach of the season, Silver Fox Harris. This level of coaching has indeed reached another level.

I heard that several teams are already planning to wait for the Lakers to poach Harris after his contract expires. Harris' performance this season has amazed a group of people, no matter how harsh a basketball commentator is, he cannot be dissatisfied with Harris' coaching schedule this season. Whether it's integrating the OK combination to stimulate Kobe's potential, or the scheduling of O'Neal during his injury, or the innovation of techniques and tactics for court injuries, Harris has achieved the ultimate.

What Curt Rambis didn't know was a certain country in the Far East. After watching the game between the Lakers and the Jazz, the leaders of the national team were already looking forward to it.

If you can invite a top coach like Harris to coach in the national team, will your career have a bright future?
