Chapter 138: After the game
"Senior, we won, we won. When the whistle blew at the end of the game, Meng Xu rushed to the sidelines excitedly and hugged Duncan, who was already standing on the sidelines.
"Relax, I'm almost out of breath when you're hugging me." Duncan struggled to get rid of Meng Xu, patted Meng Xu on the shoulder, and said lightly: "We are only entering the Western Conference Finals now, and there are at least 4 games to play before the finals." ”
Before Meng Xu could react, Jaren Jackson, who had a very good relationship with Meng Xu, Mario Eli rushed over and almost knocked Meng Xu to the ground.
While the Spurs players were celebrating on the court, Kobe Bryant on the other side of the court was still standing there unwillingly, and several Lakers players on the court were also standing in place, watching the Spurs players celebrate wantonly under their noses, perhaps until now, they can't believe that this series has ended like this.
O'Neal, who sat motionless in the chair, looked at the court stunned, his team fell in the semifinals again, following the Jazz harmony in previous years, the Spurs seem to have become another nemesis of the Lakers, losing to the same opponent in the semifinals for two consecutive seasons, although his performance is beyond reproach, the 7-game series averaged close to 4o points and 16 rebounds per game, but all this is useless, O'Neal only wants the championship, this year is O'Neal's 8th season in the league, Although it is not clear how long his peak will last, O'Neal also knows that he is 28 years old and will soon face the dilemma of declining form, so O'Neal also tried his best this season, but in the end the Lakers fell in the semifinals again.
Phil Jackson sat there with a blank face, he was blown up by Vicky in this round of the series, not only the Lakers were overturned by the Spurs, but also completely suppressed by Vicky at the tactical level, it can be expected that after this round of games, Phil Jackson will inevitably have to bear countless saliva and accusations, especially after he abolished Glen Rice, the discerning person must know that after losing Glen Rice, the Lakers played better than the regular season, but in the end the Lakers were overturned by the Spurs, Especially after the Lakers' bench lineup was blown up by the Spurs' bench lineup, Glen Rice will become an indelible black spot for Phil Jackson.
The Spurs players are very excited, especially Meng Xu and Kleebert, as rookies this year, they reached the division finals in the first year of their careers, which is already a great achievement. And Levert is excited that the Spurs are one step closer to the championship, as a veteran of the Spurs this season, winning a championship and then retiring, is Liberbert's greatest wish, after defeating this season's regular season first to enter the Western Conference Finals, although he is already a veteran of the game, but seeing that he is getting closer and closer to his wishes, Levert's excitement is also overflowing.
After calming down, both the Lakers and the Spurs players have begun to leave the court, their eyes sweeping over the sidelines, under the basketball hoop in the distance, Kobe Bryant is sitting alone, holding a basketball in his hand, and from time to time he glances at the retired jerseys of the Lakers celebrities hanging above the gymnasium, not knowing what he is thinking.
"Bryant, you're the toughest opponent I've ever faced, and hopefully next season, we'll meet again." Meng Xu walked up to Kobe Bryant, and after saying this string of words, he walked into the player's tunnel without looking back. Although Meng Xu's current real strength cannot be compared with Kobe, Meng Xu believes that one day, he will be able to compete with Kobe Bryant with his own strength.
"Bastard, I'm going to beat you next year." Looking at Meng Xu's distant figure, Kobe Bryant threw away the basketball in his hand, got up and left the court.
。。。。。。。
"Basketball is like that, no matter what the game, there will be a winner and a loser, but unfortunately the loser of this game today is us."
'Our players have been very good this season, so I don't think we failed this season and next season I and my team will come back.'
"Spurs are a great team, especially Duncan, who is a player of the same caliber as Shaq. Meng is also a very special player, he has all the makings to become a superstar, and it's hard to imagine that he was only drafted at the end of the round, as Michaels and Bird said, Meng is the best rookie of the season. ”
At the post-game press conference, Phil Jackson praised the Spurs up and down, but avoided talking about Vicky.
"Mr. Phil, can you tell us about Glen Les? Some people say that he was not injured at all, but only had some objections to your tactical arrangement, so he was hidden by you. We all know that Glen Rice is a very strong player, and if he can play in the last game, maybe the Lakers won't lose this game. At the press conference after the game, the first person to ask Glen Rice was a reporter from the New York Times, originally Phil Jackson was going to join the Knicks last season, but under the joint run of several Knicks players and the New York media, Phil Jackson finally dispelled this idea, as the head coach of the Bulls who stepped on the New York Knicks for several seasons in a row, it is not an exaggeration to say that Phil Jackson and the Knicks are mortal enemies, in this case, how can a group of people in New York tolerate it, Phil Jackson coaches the Knicks. In the same situation, the New York Times reporter didn't catch Phil Jackson and slammed it, and they were sorry for themselves.
After the New York Times reporter asked, Phil Jackson, who was not very good-looking, resisted the urge to hit someone, and after a slight pause, Phil Jackson still suppressed the anger in his heart.
"I don't have much to say about Glen Les." After Phil Jackson finished speaking, he left the press conference directly, and he was now going to comfort his players.
After Phil Jackson left, there was only one protagonist left on the scene, that is, Spurs head coach Vicky, compared to Phil Jackson, Vicky was even more unpopular with the media, but now there is only such an interview subject left, no matter how disgusting the rest of the reporters are, they can only ask Vicky a hard head, otherwise what will tomorrow's news be written?
