Chapter 701: We will go our separate ways

On May 2nd, at 5 o'clock in the evening, the whole of Los Angeles was grey and dark clouds all over the sky seemed to be falling down at any time.
The crowds outside the Staples Center arena.
"Lakers championship!"
"No one can stop us from moving forward!"
"Go! Lakersgo!"
Every Lakers fan firmly believes that they must win today.
.
It was quiet in the home team's locker room.
The Lakers will look heavy. No one dared to make a loud noise. Everyone was sitting in front of their locker, closing their eyes and resting. The Pistons were busy tying shoelaces time and time again.
Everyone knows that today’s game is of great significance.
If this game is lost, they will become the laughing stock of the world after the end of this season.
The composition of F4, only if you fail to win the championship, that is a failure!
In F4, the OK combination may be a little better, but Payton and Malone are the most embarrassing.
However, now the failure is in sight. Payton and Malone are also uncomfortable.
Everyone wants to win, but some people can’t afford it.
At this time, someone naturally has to stand up.
Malone and Payton looked at each other.
Payton: Come on.
Ma Long: No, you should come.
Malone's spoiled mess, now he can't speak in the Lakers locker room.
In the end, Payton, the "big mouth", got up.
After all, he presided over the interview before the All-Star Game in a previous year.
"Ahem! Everyone!"
Payton stood in the middle of the locker room.
The eyes of everyone looked over.
"Everyone, I have something to say to everyone." Payton scanned for a week, then his eyes went back and forth between Kobe and O'Neal.
O'Neal sat leaning back, holding his arms, just looking at Payton, and said nothing.
Kobe glanced at Payton, then turned away. He seemed completely uninterested in what Payton was about to say.
Payton sighed when he saw this. However, for himself, he still had to say something. Although he said it many times during the season, he really must say it again today.
"Today may be the last time we play. I cherish everyone here. There may be some misunderstandings, some contradictions, and some misunderstandings between us. Here, I tell you all I'm sorry."
Malone gave a thud in his heart.
Brother, didn't you advise those two after discussing it? Why did you say this in the first place?
Holding it back, Malone felt that Payton would definitely not be the kind of person who gave up lightly.
Payton continued to say, "...After today, we will go our separate ways. I hope you have a good life in the future, and I wish you all good health."
When Payton was here to "say goodbye", he found that his method of turning grief and anger into strength seemed to be messed up.
No one in the audience reacted, even his nephew Karl Malone did not respond.
Medvedenko looked left and right foolishly, he didn't understand what Payton meant. He wanted to be sad, but he didn't seem to be so sad.
Fisher lowered his head and glanced at the two big men secretly. The boss doesn't move, I won't move either.
OK combines these two big guys, O'Neal sits leaning back, holding his arms, his head tilted to one side, it's nothing to do, he's a complete outsider.
Kobe is even more straightforward. He doesn't know when his entire upper body is buried in the jersey of the locker.
[Call~~~~]
A cool wind whizzed past Peyton.
It's very cold, it's so cool.
Payton glanced at the two of OK, shook his head, then turned his head and glared at Ma Long: Are you he?
Ma Long is also full of apologies: man, it's not that I don't want to, but I can't. If I also stand up, the embarrassing one will be the two of us. Just be embarrassed by yourself.
Payton's eyes narrowed: "You or he, let me go!"
Just when Peyton and Malone were "browsing".
boom!
Kobe suddenly slapped the locker with a violent slap and got up suddenly.
"Say all these useless shit. If you want to fight, you will fight to your heart's content. If you don't fight, get out!"
I don't know who he is scolding, Kobe roars very aggressively.
After roaring, Kobe also walked out the locker room door first.
After Kobe left, the locker room was quiet, and no one spoke.
After a while,
Snapped!
Payton patted his thigh and got up suddenly.
He wants to understand, Kobe is trying his best to play the game: he must have been moved by me, he must also support me, but it's hard to say it.
"That's right, Kobe is right. To play a game, you must fight with all your strength, not hesitate to fight physically! Shy away, look forward and backward, sneak and slip, this is not a big thing."
After speaking, Payton also walked out of the locker room.
After a while, Fisher also stood up.
"Hit his mother! We will never lose!"
With that said, Fisher walked out.
This is an attitude! This is to support Kobe, support to play the game as best as possible.
Then, more people stood up one after another.
Medvedenko, Brian Cook, Rick Fox, George Gervin...
In the end, Malone and O'Neal were left in the locker room.
Malone looked around.
All gone, really all gone.
Ma Long also has his own little nine in his heart~EbookFREE.me~, all of them support that kid! Shaq is isolated. Is there any news from above? Is it true to trade Shaq?
Ma Long shook his head and sighed, he couldn't understand. Shaq is only 31 years old. He is very likely to become the No. 1 center in history. Did the Lakers really give him up?
I don't understand, I really don't understand.
In his thoughts that he didn't understand, Ma Long also moved his feet and walked slowly toward the locker room.
Shaq was the only one left in the dressing room.
At this moment, O'Neill thought of the vicious puppet.
When I left the Magic and came to the Lakers, it was because of the core status of Hardaway. The Magic think Hardaway has more strength as the core of the team, and O'Neal is just Hardaway's assistant.
O'Neal has reached the Lakers who appreciate him most. At this point, he is the only Los Angeles person and the absolute MVP of the Lakers.
However, for so many years, he has been unable to win the championship for the Lakers. Some people began to question his ability to lead the team, some said he didn't train, and some said he didn't play the court.
The general manager Jerry West who introduced him at the time has already gone to Memphis, and no one here knows how to appreciate his talent.
Even the little brother he used to have now rides on his head.
"Between me and him, did you really choose him?"
Although the Lakers management hasn't said anything clearly, letting Kobe dominate the ball on the court is already a signal. After all, O'Neal is 32 years old, and Kobe is only 26 years old.
Shrugging his shoulders, O'Neill also sighed.
"Ugh"
