I am Really an Insider

Wayne stood outside the Staples Center, which was packed today.

Outside the arena, there are huge posters full of chatter. All the fans were uniformly wearing nagging jerseys.

This may be the most high-profile season finale in NBA history.

In most cases, the last regular-season game of the season doesn't tend to matter.

After all, more exciting playoffs are coming, and it is rare that a team relies on its last game to determine its final ranking.

But today's game was different.

The outcome of this game not only determines whether the Jazz can enter the playoffs, but also has a special background such as the retirement battle.

"It feels like it was not long ago that I fought against you. If I come back again, Kobe will have to retire."

Chairman Yao stood next to Wayne, looked up at one of the posters showing Nagging and himself winning the championship, and sighed.

"Yeah, it feels like he was still alive and kicking yesterday, but now he's an old man." Wayne shrugged, not expecting that this time he would be able to experience the whole process of Naochi's retirement.

Tai put his arm around Wayne's shoulders: "Don't be nervous. I'm here to protect you. Lakers fans won't beat you up."

Although Wayne had already experienced a nagging retirement battle in his previous life, it was only through the screen after all.

This time, I participated in a serious and personal manner.

Wayne and Artest are the few active stars who came to watch the game. After all, most stars have games to play today. Even if there is no game, you still have to prepare for the playoffs.

Wayne didn't want to run away, but he had no choice. Naochi told him a month in advance that he had reserved a place for Wayne and insisted that Wayne come over.

Don't get me wrong, this is not some bromance drama. The reason why Naochi strongly urged Wayne to attend was simply because...

He wanted to score 60 points in front of Wayne!

Until the last game of his career, this guy didn't admit defeat.

The arrival of Wayne and Chairman Yao will naturally make things shine outside the Staples Center.

These two Chinese people have a very strong bond with Kobe's career.

One is Kobe's good teammate and partner.

The other is Kobe's biggest rival in his career.

They all played a pivotal role in Na Na's career.

For Naochi, how can his retirement battle be without these two people.

Artest: Well, I was just passing by.

Of course, from the perspective of a dream team, Wayne and Yao Ming stand together again, but it easily brings back their bad memories.

Recalling that incredible final night in 2008 reminds people of the fear of being dominated by two red giants.

It is estimated that the members of the Dream Team will tremble when they think of the scene of Wayne on the outside and Yao Ming on the inside.

When Wayne and Yao Ming entered the arena, the live television cameras did not forget to give them a close-up.

Los Angeles fans also cheered, of course most of them were for Yao Ming and Artest.

Aopang had already arrived at the scene and greeted the two Chinese giants warmly.

Then, everyone took their seats and patiently waited for the game to begin.

The Jazz players were the first to go out to warm up. Regarding the last game of Nao Nai's career, many people said that the Jazz were letting off steam.

This statement is both correct and incorrect.

In fact, at the beginning of the game, the Jazz played very seriously.

Because if the Jazz win this game and Mosaic loses, then the Jazz will enter the playoffs as the eighth seed in the Western Conference.

But after half the game, news came that Mosaic won the last ball.

This means that even if the Jazz win the game, they will still be ninth in the Western Conference.

Therefore, in the second half of the game, the Jazz did not play so hard, but they did not relax completely.

Instead, everyone began to take turns guarding Kobe, and one person faced off against Kobe once, which was considered the highest tribute to this legendary veteran.

Everyone on the Jazz was very conscientious when defending alone, and there was absolutely no deliberate act of letting go. Even the assist defense was very timely. It was just that they deliberately did not double-team Kobe.

Just let Naochi fight one-on-one. Even if Naochi went crazy in the end, there was still no flanking attack.

But having said that, not double-teaming an old man who is almost 40 years old and has injuries all over his body doesn't seem to be considered letting go.

The Jazz also want to lose face. What's the point of double-teaming an old man?

At this time, the Lakers players came out to warm up.

Najia knew that this was his last chance to break Wayne's record, so his expression was very serious.

Wanting to score 60 points is not something you take lightly.

Although the Lakers have decided internally that all the balls today will be given priority to Kobe, so there is no need to worry about the right to shoot today.

But even if you are given unlimited fire rights, you may not get 60 points.

Let’s not talk about defensive issues first, let’s talk about physical fitness.

60 points means a high shot. High sales means high consumption.

How many players can take so many shots and still maintain shooting stability?

What's more, he is still a 38-year-old player.

Before the game started, Naoya warmly hugged the guests.

Only when we got to Wayne, the hug turned into a warning: "Look at Wei carefully, I will definitely beat you today. This is our last showdown."

After saying that, he turned and walked away, leaving Wayne's arms hanging awkwardly in the air.

Wayne:.

Who the hell is this person?

Today, a front-row seat at Staples is at a premium.

And Kobe left a few for Wayne a month in advance so that Wayne could bring his family to watch the game.

Are you going to such great lengths just to defeat me in person?

Good for you.

It's nothing short of nagging, it's simply fussing over things.

There is a way for us to have a son!

Before the game started, all the lights suddenly dimmed.

In the center of the arena, a curtain hung.

At this time, a voice full of chronology came from the court: "With the 13th pick in the first round of the 1996 NBA draft, the Charlotte Hornets selected Kobe Bryant from Lower Merion High School!"

Images of Kobe Bryant participating in the draft appeared on the screen, followed by flashbacks to classic moments in his career.

Of course, scenes of him and Wayne fighting each other around the 10s also appeared on the screen many times.

Kobe looked up at the memories flashing back above and couldn't help but smile.

No one knows what he is thinking at this moment, looking at the entirety of his career.

"Huh? Yao, do you smell a sour smell?"

"When you say that, it seems a little bit."

At this time, Chairman Yao and Shaq, who were sitting on the sidelines, started talking, and then looked around in confusion.

Where does the sour taste come from!

Sitting next to them, Wayne said: I’m not sad at all. For such a grand and shocking retirement ceremony, I’m really not sad at all. I still like my way of retiring back then, where I would just disappear after a press conference, really.

The nagging retirement battle is indeed unprecedented.

Most of those influential players, such as Duncan, Jordan and the previous Wayne, decided to retire after the end of the season, so naturally they did not have the opportunity to prepare for the retirement battle in advance.

And those players who decided to retire after playing before the season are not as influential as Nacha, and they cannot lead such a big battle.

Wade and Dirk are both good. Although the battle is not that big, at least the whole process is respectable.

When Dirk was fighting a dog in the last game, in the last 40 seconds of the game, the old Vic even scolded his players on the sidelines: "Why are you so defensive? You let him shoot!"

Of course, if Dirk was replaced by Wayne, it would probably be a different scene.

Old thief: "Why are you so gentle? Give Wayne a leg, a leg! Why, you don't even dare to hit an old man?"

The worst thing is that Pierce, the first player to suffer from diarrhea while playing basketball, was angrily criticized by Green in the last year of his career: "Don't do any retirement tours. The fans don't like you. You think you are Kobe."

Directly a critical hit.

This is because Mr. Pi was old and didn't care. According to his temper at that time, it would only cost 13 dollars in 35 seconds.

Therefore, the nagging retirement battle is really unique.

After the playback ended, the curtain fell and the lights on the scene came back on.

At this time, Naochi finally stood up and seriously stepped onto the court.

Game start!

After scoring the first goal, Naochi showed a strong desire to score. Moreover, Hayward was taught a lesson with his first goal in a sports game.

Hayward didn't take too much precaution when it came to regular dribbling.

As a result, Kobe suddenly changed direction in a wide arc and staggered Hayward, who was excellent at defending.

If he were ten years younger, Kobe would be able to catch a quick breakthrough right away.

But there is no way. After all, I am 38 and the speed is not that fast.

After getting away from Hayward and gaining half a body advantage, Kobe was ready to make a pull-up jumper.

But Hayward quickly made up for it. Seeing Kobe lift the basketball, he jumped up and prepared to block the shot without thinking.

However, Kobe just made a fake shot. After flying Hayward, facing the Jazz players who came up to help defend, Kobe gently tossed the ball and put it into the frame.

From dazzling people to fake moves to scoring goals, the whole process is done in one go.

On the last day, No. 24 hopes to show his best side to the fans.

After the game entered the regular mode, the Jazz led the way with stronger hard power.

But on the Lakers side, the guy who was about to retire in a few dozen minutes launched desperate attacks time and time again.

In the fifth minute of the third quarter, Kobe broke through and succeeded in a layup against the assist defender, scoring his 30th point of the game.

Scored 30 points in the fifth minute of the third quarter, which is a very good statistic.

But the distance to 60 minutes is still very, very far away.

After the third quarter, Kobe only scored 37 points.

Moreover, it can be seen that Nao Nai is very tired.

Sure enough, after a few minutes in the fourth quarter, Kobe's score was still fixed at 37 points.

In the tenth minute of the fourth quarter, Kobe turned around and made a layup after a quick layup.

Just when everyone thought Najia was about to score the 39th point of the game, Jazz forward Jeff Vesey jumped up high and gave Nachi a chasing block from behind.

Seeing this, Wayne felt that the idea that Jazz was letting loose was even more nonsense.

This guy is going to fight with all his might!

Wayne even doubted whether his arrival would create a butterfly effect and prevent Nachi from scoring 60 points.

After being cheated, Naochi was very reluctant and punched the soft cushion of the basketball stand.

Then, he glanced at Wayne on the sidelines, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and yelled to himself: "Continue!"

The nagging look in his eyes reminded Wayne of the time when they were fighting in the Western Conference Finals.

He is indeed older, slower, and can no longer jump as high.

But his desire to win has never changed.

Finally, one round later, Kobe received a pass from Huertas and fired a shot from beyond the three-point line, finally scoring his 40th point of the game.

40 points, which is also Naochi’s highest score in a single game this season.

Starting from this three-pointer, the game completely entered Kobe time.

Turn around and hit the jump shot.

A difficult top shot three-pointer, hit.

The Jazz began to take turns to substitute players to defend Kobe alone, but most of them were beaten to pieces by Kobe.

Kobe's scoring became more and more tiring, and the scores between the two teams became closer and closer.

Wei Ping Bryant, who was watching the game at the scene, had already predicted something: "Look at what it means today. Kobe will not only score high points, but may also have a buzzer beater!"

One minute before the end of the game, the Lakers were 4 points behind 92 to 96.

At this time, Kobe took control of the ball, faced Jazz No. 41 Trey Lyles, and directly made a three-pointer!

Lyles's defense was impeccable, but Kobe's shot was slightly backward, and Lyles couldn't cover the ball.

Even so, it can be considered a serious interference with shooting.

But just like he had done countless times in his career, this unreasonable three-pointer actually hit the net.

Kobe Bryant scored the 56th point of the game, and the Lakers were only 1 point behind the Jazz!

The audience cheered, and Kobe turned to look at Wayne on the sidelines and let out a low roar.

At this time, people finally noticed that Kobe and Wayne interacted a lot today.

Wayne clapped and shook his head.

Before, people said that Kobe's final game could not be replicated.

Even if Kobe was allowed to play again, he would never be able to perform like this again.

But today, it turns out that even if we fight again, your uncle will still be your uncle!

Kobe scored 56 points, and the on-site commentators began to boast: "56 points. This is Kobe's career score that should be in the top ten! Oh, yes, it is seventh, seventh highest!"

This explanation is unintentionally helping Najia pretend to be a beep.

56 points, for most people, this is an unattainable height in a lifetime.

Even for a star, this is a lot of points. The best scorer in the United States, Xiao Shuai, only has a career high of 54 points.

As for Kobe, 56 points were not even among the top five in his career.

In the blink of an eye, the Jazz's Shelvin Mark hit a three-pointer, giving the Lakers a chance to take the lead.

At this time, everyone in the audience stood up, wanting to see Naochi score this key goal.

Naochi calmly controlled the ball forward. Everyone in the audience was extremely excited, but he was very calm inside.

Hayward was extremely panicked. He knew that the most terrifying killer in the league was coming to kill the game.

Kobe waved his hand, called Blake to set up a screen, got rid of Hayward and prepared to break through.

But soon, Lyles stepped up to defend.

Well, the Jazz just don't double-team, but that doesn't mean they don't cover up.

Seeing this situation, Kobe suddenly switched to shooting, stepping on the three-point line and making a pull-up jump shot.

The process of basketball flight seems extremely long. This game is simply the epitome of Kobe's career.

All kinds of unreasonable moves and all kinds of incredible goals at critical moments. Be strong throughout your life and never compromise.

In the last few minutes, he allowed people to see what he looked like at his peak again.

Wayne watched it for the second time, and now he had goosebumps all over his body, let alone everyone else.

Just because Naochi was in such a good state at the beginning of the five-continental event, people were worried that Naochi would stretch his crotch in the last leg.

But who would have thought that in the end it would be such a script.

A perfect script that even Lao He couldn't write.

Wayne looked at Kobe in the air and sighed.

Goodbye, old rival.

"brush"

"The ball went in, my God, Kobe Bryant's team went ahead! If the Lakers finally win the game, then this will be a sure shot!"

After scoring, Kobe looked at Wayne again, but this time, he didn't roar, but laughed.

That smile of a winner.

Wayne, Kobe's biggest rival in his career.

And today, in the last battle of his career. He finally defeated his biggest opponent again.

This is what he considers to be the most perfect ending to his career.

To put it simply - Wayne was tricked into killing him!

In the end, with two free throws, Kobe set his score in the last game of his career at 60 points - the oldest player in the league to score 60 points in a single game, beating Wayne!

The game was not over after the free throw, and the Jazz still had more than ten seconds left.

At this time, Director Zhang suddenly said: "Huh? Do you think the Jazz will score three points and let Kobe Bryant play overtime?"

Good guy, if you hear this nagging, you will probably get angry and vomit blood. Is this human language?

Are you going to tire me out and let me retire? It’s the last day and you still won’t let me go!

But in the end, the game ended completely when Hayward missed a layup.

In the last 4.1 seconds, Nachi was substituted with 60 points in a single game.

He was panting, sweating profusely, and hugging all his teammates.

After hugging his teammates, Nachai walked to the sidelines, hugged O'Pang first, then hugged Yao Ming, and then walked to Wayne.

This time, Kobe did not embarrass Wayne and finally embraced Wayne.

"This time. This time I win, Wayne." Nagchi breathed heavily and spoke intermittently.

It can be seen that he really tried his best.

"Well, I know, I know, you can do it."

Today is the only retirement battle, otherwise Wayne would have to fight with each other.

"Thank you for coming, Wei."

"If it weren't for the free tickets, I wouldn't bother to come."

"By the way, this summer hoo, hoo."

"What are you doing? You can breathe again before talking."

"This summer, send your son to live here for a while. I now have plenty of time to teach him how to play basketball. In your hands, you will delay him."

"Oh, okay. But no matter how much I teach him, he is still my son, so he still has to call me daddy, don't you think so?"

"grass."

Nao Nai cursed, and then hit Wayne on the back hard.

Wayne covered his back and bared his teeth. How could such a big man still not be able to make jokes? ?

"Work hard, you can't lose in this year's playoffs. Because, my opponent, my old enemy, must be the strongest!"

After saying that, Naochi smiled and shook his head, turned around and left.

Wayne is good at everything. No matter how good he is at playing ball or his personality, he has an appetite for gossip.

Just a long mouth!

Everything was over, and finally, in the center of the court, Nagging gave the last speech of his career at Staples.

Wayne and a few others stood behind him as chatty special guests while he spoke.

At that moment, Wayne was very nervous, afraid of being beaten!

Because the people standing behind Kobe were all players from the Lakers back then. In other words, they are all the people who were defeated by Wayne back then.

Only Wayne came as an opponent.

Wayne was really afraid that all his brothers would rush up and beat him with just one look.

After all, without Wayne, they might have started a dynasty.

Artest? Even if he helped Wayne, he would be the first to be knocked down, and it would be unclear who saved whom.

Just like in the original history, Kobe took the microphone and delivered the final speech. But Wayne remembered nothing but the last sentence.

"What can I say? mamba out!"

A legend of a generation has come to an end.

Seeing the people he was familiar with back then leaving one by one, Wayne felt a little dazed.

Not only Kobe, but Wayne knew that after this season, many people such as Duncan, Hardy, Artest, etc. will also leave.

Wayne suddenly felt lonely.

Fortunately, I have two mentally retarded sons with me.

But how much longer can I fight?

Wayne did not continue to think about it. When he decided to come back last year, his original plan was to take it one step at a time. Wayne still has no long-term plans to come back.

League ratings have been saved, and team shares can't escape. Now, the only goal for Wayne's comeback is to win the championship.

This is the last goal.

So, let’s win this season’s championship first.

With this group of old and young, we will go crazy again for the last time!

Even if he really has to leave, Wayne hopes that he will leave with the crown.

Since the Jazz lost, the opponent in the first round will definitely be the Houston Mosaic.

Although the elementary school student is not here, Wayne feels that it would be a shame to beat Harden, who has been guarded by Kardashian, and lose a game.
