The next morning at the training ground
"Odin, you really are a hardworking player. You have become a big star and you came to train so early!"
Seeing Michael Udin coming to the training hall as usual, Kobe pretended to be very surprised.
"Dating Caterine is a part of my life. And I'm a professional player and I have to do what I have to do!"
Michael Udin is a very unpretentious person
"Come on, in a place like Los Angeles, the exposure is around US dollars, then you'll understand that dating can make money too!
This dating scandal of yours is too big, everyone is paying attention to what you two are doing?
Nobody cares about big events in our team! "
Kobe pretended to say mysteriously.
"What is the problem?"
Michael Udin really doesn't know what happened to the team.
"Ceballos has made a deal. Didn't you find that he didn't come to Staples yesterday?"
Kobe deliberately kept his voice down, even though there were only two of them in the training hall.
"Sooner or later, there should be no fuss!
While playing for the Houston Rockets, Coach Harris used you as a starter in his place. How could a face-saving veteran like Ceballos be willing to replace you? "
If it had been unknown for a long time, Michael Udin would have been more surprised than Kobe.
"Turns out you all thought he proposed because of me, which makes me feel a little weird."
Even though Kobe was cold-blooded and scary on the field, he was just a young man who had just left high school for just a few days off the field.
When Michael Udin and Kobe played at Lower Merion High, no matter how they competed among their teammates, they would still be teammates of the same team.
But it's different in the NBA, after pressing Cedric Ceballos to the bench like Kobe, this arrogant veteran will really leave.
Kobe always felt that his teammates would feel more or less uncomfortable because he left the team. It took some time before he really adapted to the atrocities of the NBA.
"Come on, brother! Get rid of your sympathy!
Even if it's you and me, we are in direct competition with each other. Each team only has this salary limit. If you want to make more dollars, you have to take on someone else's work.
We are already professional players. As Joe's son, you shouldn't have such naive emotions. "
After so many years in society, Michael Udin has seen through all kinds of work in the workplace, he told Kobe that this is also to keep Kobe from carrying a ridiculous psychological burden.
"You're right, I swear I'll never let go!"
Kobe, who was young and promising, was by no means the type to be filled with a Virgin's heart.
After Cedric Ceballos applied, the Los Angeles Lakers management began selling him to the league, but the Lakers were dissatisfied with some of his offers.
To ascertain the value of Cedric Ceballos' trade, the Los Angeles Lakers hid it. If he had an injury before the trade, it would be a shame to take it.
Moreover, staying in the dressing room for veterans who don't want to continue playing for the Lakers will surely be a factor of instability that could explode at any time.
With Cedric Ceballos looking to leave, Kobe has been officially included in the starting lineup. Kobe showed strong direct combat power and unlimited potential in the previous game. This is the management of the Los Angeles Lakers. The unanimous consensus of all levels.
Eddie Jones, known as little Pippen, was pushed to third. In fact, Eddie Jones and Kobe are almost the same height, but he is a few years older than Kobe and he is stronger.
Being in third place would put him under even more power amplifier pressure. Eddie Jones is still very much holding this issue in his heart, but this is a coaching staff arrangement, and he can only follow orders.
One man out of rotation means Michael Udin can share more playing time. If he met a three-man team like the New York Knicks, Michael Udin would gain a higher tactical status.
Many positive factors made Michael Udin even more enthusiastic about participating in the training, and the coaching staff also attach great importance to these two fresh bloods.
Larry Drew was sent to mentor Kobe personally, and Michael Udin was also Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's follow-up. soil is drawing food.
Two consecutive away games from the West are not too tiring. Kobe, who has become a major player, also deserves the high expectations that management has placed on him. In the game against the Phoenix Suns, Bryant scored 13 points in the game against the Golden State Warriors, Ricky again scored in double digits, scoring 17 points efficiently.
Michael Udin scored 9 and 8 points in those two games, but his all-around performance was able to fill the technical statistics column in each game.
With rebounds, supports, steals, and blocks, Michael Udin has the potential to be a jack-of-all-trades.
Overtaking opponents in two games in a row, so that the Los Angeles Lakers players not only gain confidence, but also maintain their physical strength.
On November 20, they took on a demon-level opponent, the number one team in the Western Conference, the Utah Jazz.
The Utah Jazz in the 1996-1997 season was in full swing. The classic combination of Karl Malone and John Stockton made a big splash. The giant in Greg Ostertag is also the top tier meat shield, Jeff Hornacek. The outside combination with Brian Russell is full of weapons.
The best coach in the West, Jerry Sloan, strategizes and wins thousands of miles. The rotation of his eleven people is definitely one of the bravest at that time, and is bolder and bolder.
Such a strong opponent also raised the fighting spirit of the Lakers. Winning the game in this powerful dialogue is what everyone values the most!
Los Angeles Lakers vs. The Utah Jazz is scheduled to be broadcast live across the United States, and today's ticket prices are much higher than ever before.
Before the match, Coach Delmar Harris also showed the importance of this game, before entering the field, he still patiently emphasized the strategy of the game.
"Games against the Utah Jazz always mention the greatness of Karl Malone and John Stockton. To be honest, it really gives me a headache.
The choice of these two people varies, no matter how I set it up now, we can't completely limit their performance.
I only had one requirement for these two, and that was to limit Karl Malone's score to less than 30 points.
Every Utah Jazz player will always annoy you with small movements, you have to make sure you don't get hurt first, and you also have to keep your emotions in check so you don't get distracted by your opponent.
On the offensive end, we still have to revolve around Shaq, and the opponent's internal defense is also very strong. Others have to share offensive firepower. Today, we have to pick and roll for Nick. John Stockton will always be bad when he defends.
Kobe, you have to try to push Jeff Hornacek athletically. Except for Shaq, you will be second priority today. You can strike boldly without any psychological burden. "
Today's pre-match line-up from coach Delmar Harris doesn't make too much of a requirement for details, as the Utah Jazz's minor collaborations are too varied.
Compared to the Houston Rockets who relied on a single strike from the inner twin towers, the Utah Jazz had five starting players averaging more than 10 points per game, so an all-in-one team would make the Los Angeles Lakers undefeated.
The Utah Jazz bench depth is also very small. The guy who goes by the name of coach Jerry Sloan can always play a really good coach.
With the arrival of Shaquille O'Neal, the Los Angeles Lakers have had a great start to the year, and Los Angeles fans are looking forward to a win from this game.
