Chapter 215 Lakers Captain

But things backfired. Throughout the first quarter, the Suns made 10 of 6 three-pointers and hit a terrifying 60%.

At the end of the first quarter, 37:25, the Suns have already led by 12 points.

In the second quarter, Barbosa played and formed a double point guard backcourt with Nash.

The Son of the Wind plus the Brazilian Lightning, the Suns' offense is even faster, completely playing the essence of a wonderful offense.

At halftime, 65:52, the Suns led by 13 points.

By the second half, the Suns' shooting percentages finally started to dip.

But the dual core of Nash and Stoudemire stood up, and the two cooperated in various ways to maintain the offense of the Suns.

Throughout the third quarter, the Suns as a whole still did not fall behind, with a 22:22 tie in a single quarter.

87:74, the Suns entered the fourth quarter with a huge advantage.

In this section, everyone's hand feeling is not very good.

It was Nash who stood up again, scoring 15 points and 2 assists in a single quarter, and veteran Jim Jackson also had two key three-pointers.

At the end, 121:103, the Suns beat the Lakers, rewriting the big score to 3:1.

Tonight, Nash made 28 of 20 shots, 6 of 4 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, scored 48 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals, showing his extremely powerful scoring ability.

吉姆·杰克逊22分2篮板3助攻，小斯17分11篮板2盖帽，马里昂13分14篮板2助攻3抢断2盖帽

The team made 27 of 13 three-pointers and made 48% of their three-pointers.

湖人这边，科比26分5篮板9助攻，奥多姆17分8篮板3助攻，叶和平16分9篮板6助攻3抢断2盖帽

In fact, just looking at the data, the Lakers didn't play too badly, but the Suns played too well.

The media also mostly hold this view.

"Nash can't play like this every game!"

"The Suns' three-pointers can't be so accurate forever!"

"No team has ever come back from a 0:3 situation, and neither can the Suns!"

"This is just the last counterattack of the Suns, and it will be cold soon!"

But in the Lakers locker room, something was obviously wrong.

Kobe didn't take a shower immediately, but sat down and rested with his head covered.

Atkins and Odom walked into the locker room, laughing.

No one thought that Kobe suddenly broke out.

"What are you happy about? Celebrating our loss?"

Kobe's scolding sounded like thunder, and everyone was taken aback, including Ye Heping.

Atkins and Odom trembled and dared not speak.

Kobe was very harsh, often scolding his teammates, but rarely as angry as before.

Everyone was afraid to speak, and Kobe continued: "I can accept losing."

"But what I can't accept is your nonchalant attitude. Think about it for yourself, have you tried your best tonight?"

"Atkins, how many times have you been broken by Nash tonight?"

"Odom, how many times have you lost your mind and how many empty cuts have you given Marion?"

"Mim, did you put pressure on Stoudemire? He played like a Drew League tonight, and he was not blocked at all!"

Kobe ordered almost everyone, except Ye Heping. After all, Ye Heping's attitude is still very good and he is still very hardworking.

The locker room was tense. Kobe stopped talking and looked at everyone coldly, but they didn't dare to make any moves.

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting more and more tense, Ye Heping stood up.

"It was my fault, and I admit it to everyone."

Everyone was stunned, Ye Heping's performance was obvious to all, and it was not his turn to admit his mistakes.

Even Kobe was taken aback for a moment, he obviously didn't mention Ye Heping just now.

But Ye Heping raised his hand and self-reflected: "Because I was leading 3-0, I underestimated the enemy. Although it seems that I am still serious, but I am not as desperate as usual. Many times I will take a step slower and fail to protect the rear for everyone. This is my fault."

"There is an old saying in my hometown that a proud soldier will be defeated! It means that once proud, even the most powerful army will lose the battle. I just made the mistake of being proud."

The scene was silent, and everyone looked at Ye Heping in surprise.

Soon, Odom stood up: "My problem tonight is that I didn't protect the rim well, and I didn't protect the rim well, and the defense and defense were not in place."

Butler followed up: "I missed two excellent open shots, and when it was time to pass, I chose to force the shot."

Atkins: "I didn't stare at Nash and shot randomly."

One after another, almost all the players who played came out and admitted their mistakes.

In the end, even Kobe stood up: "I didn't communicate with you in time, I just accused you at the last moment. This is my fault. I didn't do a good job as a leader!"

Everyone's eyes widened. Is this Kobe?Kobe even admitted his mistake.

But later, everyone hugged together and laughed.

The locker room was full of joy and laughter, an unprecedented harmony.

A few old guys stood behind and watched with relief.

The old Divac said to Grant: "If my body is good, I really want to play for another year, but my body has played basketball all my life, and I have only encountered such a locker room until now. I really want to stay here for the rest of my life!"

The old Grant patted Divac on the shoulder: "One season is worth it, at least we have experienced it, right? This is the true meaning of basketball. No brothers, no basketball!"

"Hey guys, I have a proposal!"

Old Divac suddenly reminded everyone loudly.

Everyone turned to look at Divac, waiting for Divac's words.

"Since Fisher left the Lakers last season, we have not had an official captain for the entire season. I propose that Ye Heping be the captain. What do you think?"

"agree!"

"agree!"

"agree!"

Everyone agreed unanimously, including Kobe.

The captain of a team is not necessarily the core of the team, but it must be the boss of the locker room, the one with the best interpersonal relationship among the players, the one who is most liked and respected by the players, who can mediate locker room disputes and adjust the atmosphere of the team.

People like the original Fisher of the Lakers, Haslem of the Heat, and Rory of the Raptors later were not the bosses of the team, and some were even just role players, but they could still serve as captains.

So there is no problem with Ye Heping being the captain of the Lakers, but his qualifications are too young. He is likely to be the captain of the team in his first rookie season.

But since all the Lakers players agree, Ye Heping can only do his part.

"Okay, young captain of the Los Angeles Lakers, do you have anything to say to your players?"

Divac made a French etiquette, pretending to have a top hat on his head, picked it up and swung it three times in a gesture of invitation, the whole action was too flirty.

"I really have something to say!"

Ye Heping walked up with a very serious expression.
