Capítulo 1375: Chapter 432: You Really Aren’t on the Sa Level
“It’s not exactly one-on-one, we just compared our shots. As for the result, just look at that guy’s expression.” Jas said with a smug look on his face.
Kobe glanced at the smug Jas and retorted imdiately: “My shooting level today turned into LeBron Jas’, that’s why I lost.”
The reporters all laughed; the daily banter between these two has beco a scenic line in the Lakers’ locker room.
Kobe and Jas seem to have a good relationship, just like they did on the Dream Team.
This is a positive signal, representing that Kobe and Jas can be compatible and accept each other.
This ans the probability of LeBron Jas becoming a reliable partner is increasing.
LeBron Jas enjoys the current team atmosphere and his current relationship with Kobe.
But the reporter’s next question made his smile disappear imdiately.
“LeBron, sophomore Brandon Roy believes he can be a partner on par with you. What do you think?”
This reporter touched two of LeBron’s sensitive points with one question.
First, he hates the identity of being “Kobe’s sidekick.”
He and Kobe are partners; their relationship should be akin to Ben Wallace and Chauncey Billups in the 2003 Champion Pistons.
In that Pistons team, you can’t say who was whose sidekick between Big Ben and Billups; they were equally important.
But almost all Los Angeles dia like to describe LBJ as “Kobe’s sidekick,” which troubles him.
The second point he hates is that the dia has started to compare him with Brandon Roy.
Brandon Roy is just a sophomore rookie; what makes him think he can stand on equal footing with the players from this Super Lakers?
When Roy said during dia day, “Roger has beside him too,” he implied that he doesn’t consider himself inferior to LBJ, Chauncey Billups, or Dwight Howard.
But last season, Brandon Roy averaged only 14 points, while Dwight Howard, the weakest scorer beside Kobe, averaged 17 points.
This isn’t just about scoring; it’s the most straightforward, huge difference in talent.
Brandon Roy claims to have comprehensive skills, yet he’s not even superior to the Superman boy who relies purely on talent and instinct to attack.
Yes, Brandon Roy successfully won the Rookie of the Year award last season. But don’t forget, LBJ, already leading the team to the finals as “the best player in the team,” is still half a year younger than Roy!
Roy is only in his sophomore year, yet he’s already 23 years old, destined not to grow into a historical-level player.
Jas truly doesn’t know why the outside world would equate that guy to his level.
Moreover, Brandon Roy’s injury risks exist.
Last season, he missed a total of 20 gas, and due to his high school and college injury history, both of his knees together barely have half a niscus, which made the Warriors last season use him very cautiously. Not only were his playing ti limited, but his appearance rate was also restricted.
ESPN writer Marc Stein once bluntly said: “I’ve never doubted Roger, but how much help can Brandon Roy provide him? This is highly questionable. Not to ntion, Brandon should at least play 70 gas per season.”
Dave Mcnamin, who followed LeBron Jas to Los Angeles, maybe doesn’t dare to directly speak about Roger, but he definitely dares to hit hard when it cos to rookies like Brandon Roy.
“We’ve all heard about the Warriors’ locker room tradition, and I’ve heard that now Brandon Roy is sitting next to Roger. If one day, people like Brandon Roy deserve to sit next to Roger, then the Warriors probably have no one else to use.”
Even so, the Los Angeles dia still tirelessly compares Roy to LBJ.
LeBron Jas heard that question and his face beca solemn, but he quickly forced out a smile, a very natural smile, you couldn’t see he was angry at all.
Kobe once said he wants to be the Will Smith of the NBA.
Yet the real Will Smith of the NBA is sitting right opposite Kobe.
His performance is as wonderful as Will Smith’s in “I Am Legend.”
Jas put on a gentle smile and said calmly: “I will have a very pleasant cooperation with Kobe, it is a win-win cooperation. As for Brandon… I don’t know what to say, he’s an extrely talented player, he works very hard, but he…”
“But last season, alongside Roger, he helped the Warriors shut out your Cavaliers; last season, your Cavaliers didn’t win against Roger even once, right? For three consecutive seasons, you haven’t been able to defeat Roger, and Brandon Roy has played a part in this.” The Los Angeles Tis reporter wasn’t interested in hearing LeBron Jas give those official answers, so he pressed further.
LeBron Jas was almost unable to perform, his smile vanished, and his brows furrowed: “Enough! Stop ntioning that record!”
LBJ’s angry roar caused the Lakers locker room to fall into instant silence.
“Stop ntioning that record, because it’s a record that’s about to be ended, it will end imdiately in the first ga of the new season! And stop comparing to Brandon; I am , he is him! That’s it!”
The Los Angeles Tis reporter was happy with LBJ’s attitude; he just wanted to provoke LBJ’s emotions; he wanted to see LBJ angry: “Do you an stop comparing you to Brandon, or stop equating you to the ‘sidekick’ identity?”
