79 to 90.

The Nuggets lost G3.

The G2 Nuggets relied on sharp defense to win the game.

In this game, they limited the Lakers to only 90 points. Judging from the Lakers' configuration, this defense has done a very good job.

But the key is that they were defended by the Lakers for less than 80 points!

And what is very interesting is the comparison of the data on the two sides.

Anthony scored 25 points on 6 of 23 shots, the highest score in the game, but his efficiency was very low.

On the other hand, for the Lakers, Kobe only took 12 shots in the game. Although his shooting percentage of 5 of 12 was not high, he still posted 14 points, 7 rebounds, 11 assists, 4 steals and 2 blocks!

This statistic is unbelievable, but it works.

At this time, Lin Ying was a little autistic.

Kobe Bryant said before that the Lakers would definitely win, and it turned out that the Lakers actually won.

Although I know this is not trash talk, the effect is not much different from trash talk.

G4 was still held in Denver, Lin Ying practiced extra night, and then bumped into Kobe again.

This time Lin Ying said nothing and directly greeted Kobe Bryant one-on-one.

He used all his offensive and defensive skills and fought Kobe 4-6.

Although he still couldn't guard Kobe, his physical advantage coupled with his increasingly mature low-post skills made it much harder for Kobe to guard him than before.

Moreover, the two of them did not just have one round, but one round after another.

In the end, both of them were soaked and sitting on the sidelines panting, looking at each other and couldn't help laughing.

Not many players in the league can last as long as them!

"It's just a pity this summer."

Kobe felt a little resentful when he said this.

The summer training invitation he proposed to Lin Ying a few days ago was declined again.

Lin Ying's answer was that Nash had already made an appointment with him a season in advance.

First it was Duncan, and now it's Nash, and each one comes earlier than the other.

Why does this feel like a new class of courtesan, first come, first served?

Fortunately, this time Kobe Bryant successfully made an appointment with Lin Ying for training next summer, and it can be considered arranged.

"But your progress is indeed very fast, much faster than mine back then."

Kobe then spoke.

Unlike Lin Ying, as a high school student, he didn't get many opportunities in his rookie season.

Even the increase in his statistics in the second year was more due to the increase in playing time.

In terms of strength, there was no significant improvement until the third year.

After all, no matter how hard you train, your improvement will not come as quickly as playing a game.

So there's really nothing wrong with what he said.

"What's the use? I won't lose to you in the end."

Lin Ying was still a little annoyed.

Although he also knows that he and Kobe are not at the same stage of their careers, he is always unhappy when he loses.

"No, it was not you who lost the last game."

Kobe replied.

"The Nuggets lost, but I didn't lose?"

Lin Ying said with a bitter smile.

He hasn't reached the point where he needs to be an ostrich.

"Lin, as a friend's advice, I think you should be more selfish."

Kobe then spoke.

Lin Ying turned to look at Kobe, a little confused.

"Even now, I still do this a lot of times because you need to observe the state of your teammates to make a choice.

If your teammates are not in good form tonight, why not play selfishly?

Or to put it another way, if being selfish helps you win games, what’s wrong with that?”

Kobe looked at Lin Ying and said seriously.

"Then you played so selflessly in the last game."

Lin Ying couldn't help but speak.

He didn't know what Kobe's original intention was when he said this, but he told him to be selfish after playing a selfless game.

Moreover, he and Anthony had conflicts in the past, so it was difficult not to let him think too much.

"Speaking of the last game, I didn't plan to play like that."

Kobe smiled and said,

"Relying on my high-quality offensive and defensive performance to drive my teammates, that was my initial plan.

But then when my teammates came to Denver and during training, I found that everyone was holding their breath after losing G2 and playing in a positive state, so I adjusted my strategy."

Kobe finally expressed his ultimate understanding,

"Being selfless or selfish, you need to observe the state of your teammates. If you only favor one type, you will not be able to lead the team to win all the time."

Lin Ying, thoughtful.

These few words from Kobe should be a reflection of his entire career.

It might even be freshly baked.

People are often like this. Only when they have just realized something, will they be keen to share it with others.

And it's no wonder why the Lakers are playing so well this season, because Kobe has indeed found the key to winning.

Selfish?

Lin Ying really had never thought about this issue before.

Because he has always played the most reasonable basketball, he will play very efficiently.

But there aren't many games where he can be seen scoring high points.

His current highest points in a single game were all achieved as a rookie last year.

When Anthony feels bad, he plays more selfishly and tries harder to get the ball and score?

This is not impossible, because Billups is dominating the ball now.

Billups is different from others. Although he gets along well with Anthony, he will not blindly please him. His first goal is to win.

"It's just that there may be problems between me and Melo."

Lin Ying said.

With Anthony's character, even if he wins in the end, he will probably still explode.

The Nuggets have finally united, but this chaos will probably fall apart again.

What suits Kobe may not necessarily suit him now.

"So what?"

It was just Kobe's reaction that completely stunned Lin Ying.

Good sentence so what!

"You know what? Although I don't think what I did was right, I don't regret it."

Kobe was speaking from his own experience, using his own personal experience to speak to Lin Ying.

"Didn't Shaq himself do the same thing back then?"

Moreover, what he said next was so reasonable and well-founded that it was impossible to refute it.

Lin Ying also reacted suddenly.

Yes, the reason why so many people know that Kobe drove away O'Neal is because O'Neal is strong enough and they have completed three consecutive championships.

But how did O'Neal become the team boss?

O'Neill has actually talked about this in the future.

He left the Magic not only because of the investigation conducted by the "Orlando Sentinel", but the more critical reason was that he wanted to become the team boss.
