Chapter 169 Kobe VS? ?Kobe's opponent...
"Once again..." When Kobe was like a child in a choir, stuttering intermittently, and standing in front of the Zen master implicitly, you even thought it was your eyesight...
It's hard to imagine what it would be like to be that man who regards dignity as more important than his own life, when he bows his head and sincerely asks for help from others...
It's just that he hates failure more than those ethereal things... that's all.
Every professional player will say "I want to win" or "I hate losing" to reporters 10000 times in his life, but when he returns home from work, far away from the noisy arena, the whistle of defeat still lingers in his ears all the time. No matter whether he is at a party or in the dead of night, there will always be very few patients who are still tortured by this sound...
In a sense, the life-saving save that fans talked about just now is more like Kobe's iconic transformation than Kobe's 81 points on someone else's head, and various critical moments.
"I understand that I don't have to play for statistics or honor anymore. I have done what I have to do. But I just can't stop. There is nothing to stimulate me, but I can't bear to lose."
So, of course, you have reason to believe that he came to the Zen master not to give up his own nature, but to win...
"Once again, let's fight side by side!" Kobe whispered, the voice was so soft that only Zen Master could hear it...
...indifferent.
...
In front of the locker room of the visiting team, when Ron saw Kobe walking towards Zen master in the camera, he suddenly felt abnormal...
Kobe has a total of five championship rings, all of which were won under the coaching of Phil Jackson. There is an extraordinary relationship between teachers and students. Although the "Zen Master" once thought that Kobe was "unable to coach", he eventually "treated him as his own."
In fact, both of them are the souls of the Los Angeles Lakers. As the saying goes, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, and the two always do not buy into each other in their hearts...
...
In front of him, sitting on the Lakers bench, the old man who finally breathed a sigh of relief was the "Zen Master" Phil Jackson.
After he became the coach of the Lakers in 1999, he played mind games with Kobe for more than 10 years.
In 2000, he said, "Kobe is a 22-year-old kid. He sometimes mentions 'me' over 'us'. So I have to tell him slowly what is important." He pretended not to see the dispute between Sharks and Kobe, but criticized Kobe for not teaching Ryder to integrate into the triangle offense, and praised "Kobe played reasonably" after Kobe's 2001 points in a single game against the Spurs in the 45 Western Conference Finals.
After he left in 2004, he deliberately published "The Last Season".He revealed how Kobe was rude to Sharks and him.He said he's "focused on when Kobe can act like an adult."
He said that Kobe promised his instructions but would only go his own way.
He and the Sharks almost teamed up to create a Kobe Dark Angel image.
But in 2005, he returned to the Lakers.He led the Lakers through the 2005-2007 trough, and then back to the top.During this period, his method has always been the same: move out Jordan every now and then, and play a few tricks of language games.
"Kobe is more unstoppable than Jordan when his hands are hot."
"Kobe can't compare with Jordan yet."
"Kobe and Jordan are in the same class."
Similar falsehoods are always the case.
There is no father-son relationship between him and Kobe like Chuck Daly and Rodman, nor the kindness between Iverson and Brown...
The two of them are always dealing with enemies and friends like this.
He knew that Kobe would not forget the discord in "The Last Season", and he also knew that he and Kobe could not do without each other-they needed each other to achieve the championship.
Of course, he must also know how much Kobe, who is used to being independent, hates this semi-dependent relationship.
But he still drives Kobe, the most unpredictable horse in NBA history, using "Jordan", "champion" and "shark" as whips to drive Kobe forward between love and hate, friends and foes.
This is Zen master...
The person who knows Kobe Bryant best in the world...
"Alright alright…"
When more than half of the timeout passed, Kobe finally lowered his head.
"Yes, it-is-my-fault"
When he finally let go of all his figure and airs, and buried his head deeply like a child who did something wrong, the old man who was always willing to be a bystander throughout the game, he finally put away that frivolous smile, and bursts of light appeared on the lens...
...
"I love Kobe Bryant, I see him as my son," Phil Jackson said after winning last year's championship. "I did have a tense relationship with him before, but as the years have changed, our relationship has become harmonious."
...
No one can hate their son from the heart, no matter how much he looks down on himself...
The dynasty will be destroyed and the building will collapse.
How could all this escape the Zen master's eyes?
When Zen Master decided to pile up everything, start over, and reshape the dynasty, he was still unable to win over his proudest and most hated disciple after a silent game for most of the game...
...
The shouts of MVP kept ringing from the Staples Center, and Zen master finally let go, "Actually, I just want to say that a loss may not be a bad thing, but it seems... well, since, people think this is your team..."
The Zen master finally picked up the tactical board, and quickly drew 4 dots on one side of the board and one dot on the other side...
"Then the future of the team is up to you to decide..."
No one objected, only Kobe remained, and only he continued to ask anxiously——
"So what about defense against...defense?"
"There is no defense, Mr. Kobe." The golden light in Zen master's eyes... "There is only one question in front of you, who is your opponent..."
"Think about your opponent... Is it Grant Hill? Is it "Penny" Hardaway? Is it Vince Carter? Is it Ray Allen? Is it Tracy McGrady?? Or the No. 23 in this game, OJ Mayo?"
"They've all been labeled as 'Jordan successors' just like you..."
me?my opponent?
The man who is the successor is a huge shadow.
To some extent, the existence of Michael Jordan has given talented defenders a way to survive.
He opened up the trapeze era of the NBA, he created an idol legend, and he promoted the NBA to become the world's top "sports + business + entertainment league".
In fact, Kobe copied many things from Jordan -- the slam dunk king, the flying, the paranoia, the competitive spirit, and even the evolution of their skills is similar -- as well as details such as hitting the floor after the lore.
However, Jordan is Kobe's biggest opponent: his great glory is like a shadow, and he is always talked about by the whole league, especially the Zen master.
When Kobe was about to play full of doubts, at the end, at the last moment before the start of the game, Zen master walked up to the latter's ear and whispered softly: "None...your opponent, there is only one from beginning to end—that is yourself..."
Seeing the disciple who always loved and hated, and finally appeared in the cheers of MVP in the audience, Zen Master finally sighed deeply...
His greatest friend and greatest enemy is himself.
This body has been the habitat of his soul since August 1978, 8.Almost 23 years later, his soul is still competitive, but his body is getting old little by little.The whole league is praising his skills while constantly mentioning that "he is no longer the Kobe who can fly and dunk in 33".
However, he still has to deal with everything with this slowly aging body that has played professional basketball for the 15th year.
All dynasties will always come to an end, only his love-hate struggle with himself will continue forever.
Kobe VS Kobe, this is the ultimate answer of this era...
It may be a bit procrastinating recently, because the author is Humi, so...
OK, I will make up for my mistake at midnight today.sin sin.
