Chapter 224： Kobe's invitation to fight, much anticipated

The Knicks arrived in Los Angeles on the morning of the 17th. Although Zuo Li was here for the first time, Zuo Li was actually no stranger to this place. When he hit the NBA in his last life, he also came to Staples for a trial training. Watched two Lakers games.

However, Zuo Li doesn't know much about the urban area of ​​Los Angeles, but he doesn't need to worry, he has his own exclusive tour guide.

"Zuo Li! I miss you so much~!"

A figure Ruyan threw herself into Zuo Li's arms as if she were throwing her arms.

As soon as they exited the VIP channel at the airport, Zuo Li and Ao Mei gave the entire Knicks a mouthful of dog food.

"Me too, when did you get home?"

"Last night! My sister drove me here. Have you had breakfast? I brought milk."

"After eating, we took the chef to the road."

"Then you are staying in Los Angeles for a few days this time. My sister seems to have something to tell you."

"I can stay here for a day after the game tomorrow and then go back, because the next game is on the 21st, so there is still plenty of time." Zuo Li thought for a while and replied.

"Okay! Then I'll talk to them."

"Well, go back, you have just come back from the plane for so long, and have a good rest during the day today."

"Okay~ I just wanted to come and see you. I know you're very busy. I have to cheer for the game tomorrow!" Ao Mei smiled sweetly, she knew that Zuo Li must be preparing for the battle today.

The two of them chatted like no one else.

"Hey, hey, that's enough for you. I've just eaten enough this morning. I don't want to eat dog food yet."

Randolph, who was showing his face, rubbed his stomach depressedly, and the finals were even stronger than before the plane.

"Look, some people are envious." Zuo Li shrugged, then rubbed Ao Mei's little face.

"Actually, I wasn't that busy today, except for training, video analysis, press conferences, and taking a few pictures. We can have dinner together at night."

"Oh, oh, that's good." Ogilvy was stunned when she heard it. She didn't feel busy with so many things. This might be the biggest difference between Zuo Li and her, who can sleep all day.

After a brief meeting, Zuo Li said goodbye to Ao Mei, and Knicks and his party got on the bus.

Now the relationship between Ao Mei and Zuo Li is also an open secret within the Knicks. Even Madison's staff know that their super core Zuo Li is with Olson's younger sister.

The one who was hit the most was David Lee, the representative of the single school. When he learned that Zuo Li was already famous, David Lee felt that his worldview had collapsed, and the theory that singleness made a person stronger was also shattered. , but made David Lee sad for a while.

Until now, David Li looked at Zuo Li with some resentment in his eyes.

"What's the matter with this guy?" Zuo Li, who got on the bus, looked at David Li, who had 'happy' written on his face, and was very puzzled, and turned his head to ask.

"Quack quack, ignore his boss, this is the sequelae of the collapse of belief, you are welcome to join us and become a member with a girlfriend." Little Ewing laughed and croaked.

"Fuck! Little Ewing, you thought I didn't know that your girlfriend dumped you with a middle-aged uncle. Welcome to the single family, oh hoo, this is the best news of the day." Of course David Lee It is not easy to be with each other, and immediately comes a trick to sprinkle salt on the wound.

Precision damage.

Zuo Li spread his hands, indicating that he was helpless, and did not forget to express his sympathy: "It's okay, little Ewing, of course I choose to forgive her. Love can be not only red, but also forgiveness."

"Don't disturb me, it turns out that you are such a boss." Little Ewing immediately became decadent, looking up at the car window at a 45-degree angle, like a young melancholic patient.

"Pfft hahaha."

The car was instantly filled with laughter.

But play and play, don't make fun of the game.

The Knicks have all seriously reviewed the Lakers' tactics, and focused on analyzing the strength and state of the Lakers' starting and sixth man Odom.

Finally came to the conclusion: really TM strong.

Apart from liking waves from time to time, this Laker has few shortcomings.

Oh, and the outside shooting rate is not very good, Farmar, Vujacic, Kobe, Fisher seems to be able to shoot, but the shooting rate is below 40%.

But this one is not a problem at all in this day and age. As everyone knows, the Green Army averaged only 10 three-pointers per game last season, so won't they still win the championship?

Fortunately, there is not much pressure. As Zuo Li said before, in consecutive away games, there is no direct competition between the Western teams, and it is enough to play seriously.

But after the public training session in the afternoon, everything changed.

The Lakers took the lead in the public training session, and as the focus of this focused battle, Kobe was naturally the center of the topic.

Without waiting for the reporter to ask any questions, Kobe took the initiative to say: "I'm looking forward to this game, do you remember, I said before that I really want to play against Zuo Li."

"This guy's got all the 50-plus points this year, you remember, he's a really good scorer, and that's what excites me, you know, it's been years without such an interesting rookie coming into the league."

"A lot of people say he's going to be the best scorer in the future, but I'd say, right now, I'm stronger."

"So I want to say, come on Zuo Li, let's have a good fight."

The reporters suddenly recalled, as if there was such a thing.

The reporter from the Los Angeles Sports News immediately asked tentatively: "Kobe, are you contracting to the left?"

"An appointment? No, I don't like this term, because he should initiate an offer. After all, he is the challenger, but it's not too much. In short, don't let me down, we will do our best."

Kobe's interview caused a sensation without suspense. For many years, since Iverson, McGrady, and Carter were not at their peaks, it was rare that Kobe took the initiative to launch an appointment with a person.

The last one seemed to be the Great General Arenas a few years ago, and the two also had an earth-shattering battle.

Could something like this happen again tomorrow night? ?

Reporters are excited!

Fans are also excited!

The whole world is looking forward to it!

Zuo Li was stunned when he got the news, but after seeing the report, he was convinced that it was really not made up by the media.

Zuo Li was a little dumbfounded, this competitive spirit is too strong It really fits Kobe's character.

However, Kobe really gave himself a big problem. After all, he was not ready to attack with all his strength. He was also ready to go back to the home court to fight with the Green Army. After all, the Green Army is the direct competitor.

But now, if you don't fight, you have to fight!

So after dinner and Ao Mei simply finished eating, Zuo Li went back to the video analysis room and watched with D'Antoni the video of the Lakers' game against the Spurs two days ago.

"It's not easy to win." Zuo Li sighed.

"Yeah, after all, it's a team that is running for the championship." D'Antoni nodded and replied: "But don't be under pressure. We have no pressure to win or lose in this game. The key lies in you."

"I think we will support you." D'Antoni said heavily.

"Phew, okay, I'll do my best!" Zuo Li exhaled. By this time, he will no longer be hypocritical. In terms of competitiveness, he is not bad, and he is also looking forward to meeting Kobe Bryant. Fighting, this is the ceiling of personal technology in this era.
