Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant said today that, if nothing else, he will certainly appear in the opening game of the Lakers game against the Bulls. In talking about his wrist injury, Bryant said his right wrist injury will not cause much impact on him, his wrist is no problem.
Bryant before the Lakers in the first preseason game with the Clippers were injured, when the race to the third quarter, Bryant basket ball immediate concern, when he tried to dunk been DeAndre – Jordan’s cover, he fell to the When the hand stays on the ground a bit, also was injured wrist. Originally thought it was only an ordinary sprain, but after receiving an MRI, doctors told Bryant, on his right wrist triangular ligament tear, ligament tear, but fortunately this is not serious, do not need surgery, but will take some time to recover, Bryant and therefore missed the second preseason game.
Today, Bryant did not participate in team training, in an interview, Bryant said his wrist is still “swollen and very painful.” But Bryant also said: “I will make every effort to find solutions, play campaign has always been my nature.”
If Kobe played with the Bulls battle for Christmas, then he may use when splinting the wrist. On his wrist injury, Bryant broke the news, said: “This injury may not be able to recover, because ligament has not, and I am powerless, but I have experienced many times before a hand injury, I will get everything. ”
The past few seasons, Bryant often played with the injury. December 2009, Bryant right index finger fracture, Bryant was selected to bring plywood is played. Although each game a few minutes on the injury to be hurt, but Bryant persevered, and eventually led the Lakers won the season championship, Bryant himself crowned the Finals MVP.
Last season, regular season in mid-March in the battle with the Mavericks, Bryant had sprained his ankle when he even thought he had to the season, but in the end, Bryant ignored ankle injury, played in all 82 regular-season games. Lakers first round of the playoffs with the Hornets in the fourth game, the last time Paul Bryant on the defensive when he sprained his left ankle, but Bryant did not choose the truce.
This time, still no exception. Bryant’s old partner Fisher said yesterday: “If I in Las Vegas, I would bet, bet Bryant will play in the opener, he is the strongest guy I’ve ever seen one, he will find a solution , and his injuries do not use excuses. And I think he would cut his wrist injured bird, and then play games with the other hand opener. ”
According to the latest news, the Clippers finally reached an agreement with the Hornets, Paul will be traded to the Clippers, while the Hornets will be Eric – Gordon, Ami slave, Kaman and the Clippers from Minnesota before the got the unprotected first-round pick. For the Clippers, the team can get Paul city, Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant’s performance a great degree, and sent their congratulations.
After several consultations, the Hornets finally started the transaction, Paul will join Los Angeles, but his new owner is not the Lakers, but the Clippers. For Paul to join the Clippers, the outside world is full of expectations, Paul learned that the new agreement is not out of the contract after the season, that means he will at least cooperate with the Clippers and Griffin two seasons. I believe with Paul, the Clippers style of play will not only look better, and the strength will be no small improvement.
Since the lockout ended, the rumors have been on Paul never stopped, and the Los Angeles Lakers and Clippers, two teams has been the most active pursuit of the queen’s two teams, but the Lakers also was infinitely close to Paul, because they Hornets and Rockets had reached a three-way deal, the Lakers will be in Paul’s time, the Union rejected the deal shot, causing no small controversy.
Although the Lakers did not get Paul, the Clippers become the final winner, but the Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant is still a large degree of performance, sent congratulations to the Clippers, “Clippers so ambitious is a good thing They always wanted to make progress, “Bryant said,” They are not only Griffin but more of a Paul, I think that the city of Los Angeles is a good thing, because the two ball teams are very competitive, which is great. “It is worth mentioning that in earlier asked if Paul was traded to the Clippers, Bryant replied,” Then I will feel very strange. ”
However, this can not conceal Bryant’s disappointment, especially for the Lakers trading Odom’s behavior. Paul’s attempt in the transaction fails, the Lakers are also affected by the trouble, because the Lakers had to Odom as a bargaining chip, so Odom are very unhappy, so offered to be traded, Lakers Odom almost white gave the enemy calf. For this transaction, Bryant is very angry, frankly, “I do not like this deal.” Moreover, in recent days to accept the “Los Angeles Times” interview, Bryant is angry words talk, “I think we (Lakers) bad, we will be worse.” In the reporter asked “Do you want to do in Miami? “When Kobe is a joke,” today deal to me. “
Although no cap space, but the Los Angeles Lakers still hope to get through the sign-Nuggets player Aaron – Efulaluo.
According to sources, and there is no cap space for the Chicago Bulls also harbor the same idea, all want to chase the 26-year-old swingman.
Efulaluo a restricted free agent, December 9 in the free market is open, other teams can offer him, the Nuggets have three days to choose whether to match the offer. It is reported that, with cap space and consider the offer of the team are the New Jersey Nets, Minnesota Timberwolves and other team.
As the number of players in the Chinese league play, and can not jump out of the contract, the Nuggets may match “any offer.”
Efulaluo then returned home to Los Angeles to play for the very patient, “I might have thought 20 years.” Efulaluo said with a smile, “but I know I could not liking, I realize that they will enter free transfer market, and has been prepared for this. ”
“I want to get better, wants to become a starting player.” Efulaluo said.
Shaquille O’Neal – the latest being for his autobiography, “Shaq is not cut: My Story” for publicity. A recent radio interview, he again chatted about former teammate Kobe Bryant – Bryant. Although there have been many disputes, but the “shark” like Kobe is the greatest player in Lakers history.
“For now look at the achievements, he may be the greatest Laker.” O’Neal said, “If he can retake a championship, it will be with Kareem (Abdul-Jabbar) flush, it makes him to reach that level. ”
As we all know, OK there have been many disputes combination, and O’Neill exposed himself in his autobiography, also conducted on Bryant “death threat.” The former teammates on the field for the shot selection and character, O’Neal had a lot of complaints. But he never made a secret of Kobe Bryant poured in basketball the enthusiasm and technical ability to appreciate.
“This is another great.” O’Neill talked about already has five championship rings, in the history of the total score ranked No. 6 (27,868 points) and Kobe Bryant said, “His technique is very comprehensive. And I just big, big players only have the ability, I can only be attributed to the big players in the discussion. ”
In fact, after receiving ESPN interview, O’Neal on the autobiography of “death threats” for a clarification and said OK combination is the “most dominant ever, but also the most controversial combination.” In the LeBron – James Bryant compared with, the “Shark” training on the respect of the latter into the former seriously difficult to do.
Previously, Bryant led his unit in 2010, said after beating the Celtics win, Jerry – West is the greatest Lakers players. In his view, can not beat the Celtics and enhance their historical position. Bryant said at that time: “(the best Lakers player) is West, to see him in here to do everything, whether a player or as a general manager who will take care of the team in good order, not only got Shaq, but also got me, almost single-handedly create a king of the division, so in my mind, he is the best. ”
However, overall, the current history of the media generally considered the best player the Lakers Magic Johnson and Kobe Bryant can only be generated before. Magic Johnson and Kobe Bryant are five championship rings, but the magician has three MVP, but Kobe Bryant is only one. However, support for Kobe Bryant, who is a magician that does not have three consecutive experience, and his recent two consecutive years does not like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, James Worthy’s 50 greatest players in this class teammate, Kobe Bryant and therefore difficult to determine magician who is better. Of course, there are opportunities for this Kobe Bryant is no longer controversial topic, he only needs to retake a championship.
David – Boys held a news conference, said they decided to some of the players had submitted to the court in the Northern District of California merged into the Minnesota litigation, which can speed up the litigation process. For the previous “secret negotiations between employers and employees are” rumors, Boise not only responded to the employers will blame him. He said: “Since the lawsuit submitted by the players, we are no negotiations between the two sides have failed to solve the problem or make efforts to restart negotiations, because the Union has made very clear that they are not interested in negotiating with us.”
As there is no next restart negotiations with the Alliance for the new season to make a last-ditch effort to keep the plan, Boyce said that in his view at this moment the two sides will not be any form of dialogue, he said: “The needs of both sides of the joint negotiation efforts, (but now we have players sided only). ”
Last week, the Union president David – Stern called 30 team owners held a conference call, at that meeting, the employer did not discuss how to respond to player actions. Their strategy is holding on, waiting for players the first compromise. A source said, in fact, employers do not want to court with the players, they are waiting for Hunter to take the initiative to call Stern.
In this regard, Boise, also said: “I do not object to the union to call, I would first pick up the phone call the other requirements of the people to solve problems through dialogue, but only if employers have to give up the previous hard-line stance, put low profile, otherwise, even if I take the initiative to call the league has no meaning. may take some time to decide they are not ready to negotiate it. ”
So far, the coalition parties to initiate proceedings in addition to the players had issued a statement outside the practice, did not have any substantive response. However, according to sources, the player party joinder, the coalition must have 21 days to respond. Boyce said: “on litigation, I think the good thing is that I know in three weeks I was able to get employers to respond.”
