Bulls interview room.
The atmosphere was a little dull.
They were reversed by 18 points in the opening game of the new season, and no one was in a good mood.
"Ross, how do you evaluate this game? What do you think is the biggest reason why this game was reversed?"
a reporter asked.
"It was a very difficult game. We once led by 18 points but couldn't hold on. This is very uncomfortable!"
"Kobe Bryant sanctioned us. He exploded in the fourth quarter and scored more than 20 points. We failed to guard him, so we lost the game. It's that simple."
Ross shook his head and said, feeling a little helpless.
"So how would you rate your performance in the fourth quarter?"
a reporter asked.
"It's terrible! I was completely out of shape in the last quarter of the game! I must be responsible for the loss of this game!"
Ross said with some annoyance.
Reporters: "???"
You didn't even mention a word about that second-round pick from China!
Is it intentional?
"Rose, how do you evaluate the performance of the Lakers' No. 28 player? He sent 10 assists in the fourth quarter and limited your performance to some extent."
A reporter finally couldn't help but ask.
"Who is No. 28?"
Ross was confused.
"That second-round pick from China."
The reporter reminded.
"Oh! Sorry, I really didn't remember his jersey number! But his performance left a deep impression on me. Although he is a second-round pick, he has great potential."
Ross said in a deep voice, giving a very official answer.
"Then do you think it was No. 28 who took the lead and reversed the Bulls?"
a reporter asked.
"No! He just passed a few good balls! The key factor is Kobe. If Kobe fails to score those difficult goals, then we will not lose!"
Ross said confidently.
Just a few good passes?
If Jiang Feng didn't control the Lakers' offense, would Kobe be able to get so many easy shooting opportunities?
Rose's words clearly underestimated Jiang Feng's role.
He also doesn't want to admit that a second-round pick beat the Bulls.
"Thibodeau, at the last moment of the game, you gave up double-teaming Kobe and instead double-teamed the Chinese second-round pick. Why did you make such a choice?"
a reporter asked.
"Like Rose said, he passed a few good balls and changed the situation of the game! I can't tolerate a second-round pick playing so well, so I'm going to double-team him."
Thibodeau said gloomily, feeling brooding about the defeat in this game.
"Then do you think Jiang Feng's outbreak was accidental or due to his strength?"
a reporter asked.
"Of course it was an accident! I can say clearly that it is difficult for that second-round pick to perform so well again. This may be his best game this season."
Thibodeau said with a hint of sarcasm, as if saying this would make him feel better.
The reporters nodded one after another, asked a few more questions, and then ended the interview.
...
After the game.
The news of the Lakers' 18-point reversal of the Bulls was reported by major media and quickly became NBA headlines.
Most of the coverage and attention has been on Bryant.
As the NBA's top superstar, Kobe Bryant had an explosive performance in the first game of the new season, which made fans excited and looking forward to the next games.
Although Jiang Feng performed well, he was not widely reported.
10 assists in a single quarter is indeed amazing and set a rookie record, but that's it.
In the eyes of many media and fans who did not watch this game, Jiang Feng was able to send out 10 assists only because Kobe played well.
When Kobe Bryant breaks out, even if he switches to a pig to pass the ball to him, he can still get good assist data.
Perhaps only the fans who actually watched that game know what role Jiang Feng played.
But these voices have been drowned in the prejudice against Jiang Feng...
Lying on the bed in the small rental house, Jiang Feng looked through the news and comments, and his desire and fighting spirit became stronger.
Don't you think highly of me?
Then I will let the world see if the Chinese can rule the NBA!!
Jiang Feng couldn't sleep with anger in his heart.
Before I knew it, the sky was turning white, and a ray of dawn light shone into Jiangfeng's rental house of less than 10 square meters.
As a second-round pick, he doesn't have a lot of money.
Only those players from the middle level and up can achieve financial success in the NBA. Players at the bottom like him can only struggle to make ends meet.
Jiang Feng couldn't sleep either, so he simply got up and tidied up, then went out and went straight to the Lakers training facility.
When he came outside the training hall, he heard the sound of b*****g the ball.
Who would come to training so early?
You know the new season has just begun!
The players are still adjusting, so why are they working so hard?
Jiang Feng was a little confused, but he quickly locked onto a figure in his mind - Kobe Bryant!
When it comes to training hard, I'm afraid there is no player in the entire NBA who can compete with Kobe.
Kobe's efforts were almost abnormal.
Jiang Feng walked into the training hall expectantly and saw that familiar figure, it was Kobe!
He was quite emotional.
The boss is really admirable!
His words about dreams and hard work are not just words, but he is actually practiced!
Maybe, this is the Mamba mentality!
At this time, Corvo was sweating profusely and was doing shooting training. After hearing the noise, he turned around and saw Jiang Feng. He was a little surprised and showed a gentle smile: "Coming to training so early? Not bad! Since you have a goal, then work hard. !"
Well...I just can't sleep enough to relax.
Jiang Feng said silently in his heart, showing an awkward yet polite smile.
"I'm going to continue training! If you want to improve your basketball skills, I can guide you later."
Kobe said seriously, and then focused on training.
As expected, he is as good a teacher as the rumors say!
Jordan and Kobe are very similar, but their attitudes towards younger players are completely different.
Jordan is very cold and will not take the initiative to teach younger players.
Kobe was very willing to share his skills and even held a Mamba training camp after his retirement. Many NBA players participated and benefited a lot.
This is why Kobe is respected by many players.
After retiring, he devoted himself to the development of the American women's basketball team. He also made his own animated short film and won an Oscar.
Business is booming.
But all this came to an abrupt end when Kobe Bryant's plane crashed!
He left endless thoughts and reveries to the world.
"Boss, don't worry, I will definitely stop that accident in this life! Let you complete your career! It's just up to you whether you can have a son with Vanessa..."
Jiang Feng secretly made up his mind.
"Boy, why are you dazed? Come and train! Your offensive ability is too poor! It must be improved!"
Kobe's voice rang out.
"Boss, no need, it's enough for our team to have you on the offensive end!"
Jiang Feng said with a smile.
Kobe: "What logic???"
