Chapter 196 The Big Surprise
·
Wo Yao Huo Le
In the evening, the two returned to Kobe's mansion together.
In order to express his gratitude, Kobe took out the fine wine he had collected for many years and specially entertained Qin Xiao.
If required, he shouldn't have been drinking during the Western Conference Finals.
But today's situation is really special. The joy of returning from injury must be accompanied by a little wine.
While drinking, the two watched today's first match of the East Finals.
"Although the Indiana Pacers have made rapid progress, they are still far behind the Miami Heat. After all, they don't have that kind of absolute superstar in charge, and they still suffer a lot in the playoffs."
Kobe said quietly.
"Yeah, I am also optimistic about the Miami Heat's advancement, and I hope that our opponents in the finals will be them. After all, the strength of the Heat's Big Three is obvious to all. Defeating them to win the championship will be more valuable!"
Qin Xiao's thinking is different from ordinary people.
Normal people will definitely think that the weaker the opponent's strength, the better, so that it is easier to fight.
Kobe was not surprised when he heard this. The two had been together for so long. He understood Qin Xiao's character and what kind of guy Qin Xiao was.
"It's still too early to say these things. After all, the Spurs are not easy to deal with. But tomorrow night's game, I am confident that I will win. Sometimes, surprises will reap miraculous results!"
Bryant had imagined Popovich's surprise tomorrow.
While talking, the game between the Heat and the Pacers officially started.
Although the overall strength of the East is not as good as that of the West, but being able to reach the Eastern Conference Finals shows that the Pacers are still a bit of a weight.
Throughout the first half of the game, the two sides played back and forth, almost maintaining an evenly matched situation.
However, when the game entered the critical moment of the second half, the importance of the superstar was reflected.
Wade and James began to attack in turn, forcibly tearing apart the opponent's defense again and again.
On the Pacers side, apart from Paul George, there is no second person who can stand up and score.
In this case, the difference between the two sides was quickly widened.
After three quarters, the Miami Heat at home took a double-digit lead.
Coming to the fourth quarter, under the leadership of James and Wei, the Miami Heat did not give their opponents any chance.
They accepted the game in one go and won the first G1 victory in the Eastern Conference Finals.
In an interview after the game, LeBron James said: "Winning the first game is a good start. I look forward to reaching the finals again. In fact, very early on, I was looking forward to being able to compete with Kobe in the finals." Meet!"
"I know the fans are also looking forward to the 23vs24 duel. Although I am wearing the No. 6 jersey now, the fans are still looking forward to the duel between me and Kobe."
"This season is probably the most expected thing to happen, but unfortunately, Kobe was injured. I am very sorry for this, and I also wish Kobe a speedy recovery!"
Facing the media camera, James said a lot of high-sounding scenes.
In fact, he is not to mention how happy he is. If the healthy Lakers reach the finals, it will definitely be a very difficult challenge for them to defend their title!
At the beginning of the regular season, he has already felt the strength of the Lakers.
Now, that worry no longer exists.
With Kobe injured, the Los Angeles Lakers fell from the top favorite to win the championship in an instant.
In the championship probability list released earlier today, the Lakers have fallen to third place.
It is only a little higher than the Pacers, and the Heat took advantage of the trend to take the top spot!
……
"Kobe, LeBron seems to care about you!" Qin Xiao said with a smile.
"Haha, he didn't want me to recover soon, but he also expected to play against me in the finals."
"I'll give him a surprise until this time tomorrow, so that he won't worry about me!"
……
The night passed quickly, and in the afternoon of the second day, the Lakers players came to the stadium one after another.
Before the start of the game, it is customary to do some simple shooting training to maintain the touch.
"Qin, tonight the outside line will be up to you."
Gasol said half-jokingly and half-seriously.
Qin Xiao could hear the helplessness in his tone.
After all, Kobe is the boss of the Lakers, and he is like the team's pinnacle.
With Kobe present, Gasol and others will feel safe.
Although Qin Xiao surpassed Kobe on the court many times, he still doesn't have Kobe's leadership ability.
Qin Xiao nodded, and did not plan to tell everyone about Kobe's recovery. He would surprise everyone when Kobe came to the arena in person.
Two hours later, it was getting closer and closer to the start of the game.
Qin Xiao and others returned to the locker room, and Mustache took out the tactical board to make pre-match deployments.
"Guys! Starting today, we have to adapt to the game without Kobe, so our pressure will be very high."
Speaking of this, D'Antoni turned his head to look at Qin Xiao, and continued: "Especially you Qin, they will definitely guard you strictly tonight, you have to be mentally prepared."
However, at this moment, the door of the locker room was suddenly opened.
Kobe Bryant, in a suit, stood at the door, leaning on a cane and hopping into the locker room with his right leg.
"Kobe? Why are you here?"
Everyone was very surprised.
"I'm a little worried. I came to see you before the operation. It's okay. You don't have to worry about me. Continue to deploy pre-match tactics."
After saying this, Kobe silently sat aside.
Qin Xiao suppressed the smile in his heart and did not expose him.
After a while, players from both sides came out to warm up before the match.
Kobe also played with them. When the fans saw Kobe in a suit and leather shoes, they applauded him one after another.
But when Kobe came to the bench, he began to take off his suit, revealing the No. 24 jersey inside.
This move stunned everyone.
"Unexpectedly, the boss didn't forget to wear the jersey and be with his teammates even if he was injured. Even if he couldn't play, he still had to cheer for his teammates while sitting on the bench!"
"This is what a team leader should look like. I think the boss at this moment is the most handsome!"
However, Kobe took off his pants again, and he was also wearing ball pants underneath.
Immediately afterwards, he actually took out a pair of combat boots from under the bench, removed the protective gear on his left leg, and finally put on the Mamba series sneakers calmly.
This wave of operations made everyone on the scene look at each other in dismay, and in the next second, something even more shocking happened.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Kobe stood up directly from the bench and trotted onto the court as if nothing had happened.
He took a basketball casually and practiced shooting.
Take off, shoot, hit, the whole set of movements is like flowing water!
The scene was silent for three seconds, and then...
"kobe!"
"kobe!"
"kobe!"
Shouts like a tsunami resounded through the entire Staples Center!
