I was asked about the possibility of this.
Make a brain hole.
The following is purely fictitious.
In the early summer of 2011, the Cleveland Cavaliers ended their first season since LeBron left. Newcomer Baron Davis was injured, resulting in the team's 19 regular-season wins.
Meanwhile, aging defending champion Los Angeles Lakers, was beaten 0-4 by Dallas.
The Zen master announced his departure.
The Los Angeles media clamored: "We need to be young!" We need a backfield! ”
So the Lakers made a deal with the Cavaliers.
The Lakers sent chips led by center Bynum to return the Cavaliers' Baron Davis and the 2011 first-round pick.
When the Knights learned that they had won the title, they regretted it, but it was too late.
In the 2011 draft, the Lakers signed Kyrie Irving from Duke University.
Los Angeles Media Praise:
"As soon as he enters the industry, he will have the best dribbling in the league, no less than Paul — so the Lakers don't have to risk going to New Orleans to trade Paul, you know, Stern is looking at the tiger, ready to use 'basketball reasons' to cancel this deal!"
Owen was interviewed: "I'm thrilled to be in Los Angeles. I've loved watching Kobe play since I was a kid and he was my inspiration. And, as you know, I was born in Australia, grew up in New Jersey, and I also longed to see the landscapes of the West Coast. On this flat earth, it is always very pleasant to look at the scenery in different directions..."
Bryant was interviewed: "I've seen the videotape of Carey playing. He's an exciting genius. Many of his moves remind me of my younger self, and of course his momentum of always rushing towards defenders..."
Baron Davis was interviewed: "I feel like God won't allow me to leave California for too long — no, I'm back in Los Angeles!" ”
In the 2011-12 season, Mike Brown coached the Los Angeles Lakers, and at one point in the opening season, Hender irving was a substitute for Baron, and when the media was clamored, he answered:
"Kyrie is certainly a genius, but we're not a rebuilding team... We have veterans like Kobe, Paul, Derek and Baron... Kyrie had to learn from scratch..."
Ci Shiping said in an interview: "I like the boy Kairi very much. Having him on the training ground is like having two Kobes... No, no, of course I know they are different players, but they are very similar players... Sometimes when they're tit-for-tat on the training ground, I really doubt they're going to fight..."
In early March 2012, the Lakers visited Dallas, and the score was glued in the fourth quarter.
Owen said to Coach Brown: "Coach Brown, let me play, give me space, I'll settle the game. ”
Coach Brown looked at him for half a day, "Carey, you know that Kobe Bryant has scored 38 points now, and it feels good, right?" ”
Two days later, the Lakers visited Russia City, and Kyrie Irving made his first start for the Lakers.
At the end of the 2011-12 season, Irving was second in the rookie of the year, behind the Timberwolves' Rubio.
In the 2012 playoffs, the Lakers suffered the Thunder. The Thunder first led 2-0, kobe bred a 36-pointer in the third game to lead the team back to a city, and in the fourth game Kobe bryant scored 38 points, but Durant won with a final strong shot, and the Thunder took a 3-1 lead.
In the fifth game, Kobe Bryant scored 42 points, but the Lakers still trailed in the first three quarters. In the fourth quarter, Irving took over the game, scoring 18 points in a single quarter and taking the Lakers to reverse.
After the game, Bryant praised Owen: "When everyone was afraid to shoot, he resolutely decided to take over the game. This is the talent that comes with him in his blood. He's just right for the big scenes. ”
In the sixth game, the Thunder three youngsters each scored more than 30 points, the Lakers lost, 2-4 was eliminated, ending the 2011-12 season.
In the summer of 2012, the Lakers signed Dwight Howard.
At the beginning of the 2012-13 season, Mike Brown was dismissed and Mike Dantoni took over, but the record fluctuated.
In early 2013, Buckley and the Sharks did a TV show.
Shark states:
"The Lakers' problem is that there's not enough space... Dantoni's desired system is to have excellent ball-handling organizers and a wide space, but the existing squad system... Dwight is my superhuman little brother, don't get me wrong, I like him, but he's not happy in this system, and the Lakers have two ball carriers... However, Neither Kyrie nor Kobe Bryant are organizers, they can distribute the ball, but that's not what they're good at... It's not surprising, Charles, that Bryant and I have encountered this before, and when two tough geniuses meet, it happens..."
In the spring of 2013, Dantoni stressed to the media:
"Kyrie and Bryant don't contradict each other... They're just all winning, they all want to win for the team... Of course, Carey only played college basketball for one year, in fact, only a dozen games, he is equivalent to half a high school student directly into the NBA... We have to think about it, when Kobe Bryant first entered the NBA, it wasn't like this now, we have to be patient..."
In an interview in the early summer of 2013, Owen said:
"I adore Kobe, I respect Kobe, and many of my moves are learning him... But that doesn't mean I have to be his follower. Well, we all know what happened to Kobe and Shaker, and in my opinion, that's part of Kobe's charm. The strongest player drives the strongest team, doesn't it? No, no, hehe, I'm not saying I'm going to replace Kobe, I'm saying I'm going to focus on making myself stronger... One day, Kobe Bryant came to me and said, 'Dude I need you,' and I'll tell him, 'Kobe, I'm ready!' ’”
In the 2013 playoffs, the Lakers lost 2-4 to the Spurs.
In the summer of the same year, the Cleveland Cavaliers received a title.
Amid the clamor of "we want Bennett," the Cavaliers chose Indiana University guard Victor Oladipo.
In the 2013-14 pre-season training camp, Bryant admitted, "In the new season, we will let Kyrie dominate the attack more, and I think he is ready... And," Bryant laughed twice, "I'm already a real veteran, and in the last month of last season, I sometimes couldn't get out of bed with leg pains. I don't even want to score 40 points anymore because I'm going to be tired the next day..."
In early 2014, Irving teamed up with Kobe Bryant to be named an All-Star.
After the All-Star, Irving suffered a knee injury. Bryant led the team alone.
In April 2014, after playing the full 44 minutes in his sixth straight game, Kobe Bryant tore his Achilles tendon apart.
Kobe Bryant was calm after the game:
"It's all right, dude, you know I'll be back... In fact, I've been having this dream last year, dreaming that I'm about to get hurt... Hey, I'm almost 36 years old, isn't it normal to get hurt? Shaq is my age, and my toes are about to break! ...... Carey will support the Lakers, I believe that. ”
In the summer of 2014, LeBron returned to Cleveland from Miami to form a trident with Oladipo and Kevin Loew.
In the 2014-15 season, Irving led the Lakers alone, averaging 28.3 points per game to win the scoring game. But at the same time, the Lakers won 33 in the regular season and missed the playoffs.
The Cleveland Cavaliers reached the 2015 Finals with an all-in-one roster, leading the Golden State Warriors 2-1 in their first three games. In the fourth game, when Cole posed a five-squad of Curry + Clay + Barnes + Iguodala + Dream Chaser, the Cavaliers returned to the small lineup of DelaVedova + Oladipo + Chambot + LeBron + Loew to restrain it.
The Cavaliers won 4–2 to win the 2015 championship.
In the 2015-16 season, Bryant returned after a year of recuperation, playing his last professional season.
In the final game of the season, he announced his retirement after scoring 60 points against the Jazz.
In the 2015-16 season, the Warriors won 73 in the regular season, the Western Conference Finals crossed the Thunder, and the Finals played against the Cavaliers.
The two sides drew 89 in the final moments of the seventh game. LeBron was caught in the towel by the Warriors and split the ball to Oladipo, who was unable to take a shot, handed it to Jr Smith, and lost the shot.
Dream grabbed a rebound and passed to Curry, who shot a three-pointer. In the final round of free throws between the two sides, the Warriors won 94-90 to win the 2016 championship.
Curry won the 2016 Finals MVP.
In the 2016-17 season, Irving won his second scoring champion, but the Lakers he led once again missed the playoffs.
At the end of the season, Owen admitted in an interview:
"I was envious of Kobe Bryant's possession of the ball, I hope to gain the trust of the whole team like him, and I thought that if I got unlimited balls, I would be able to do whatever I wanted... But last season made me realize that it wasn't easy... It's hard to support a team, and Bryant has supported the Lakers for nearly two decades..."
In the summer of 2018, LeBron came to the Los Angeles Lakers.
"I'm excited to be here with such a historic team as the Los Angeles Lakers... Yes, I'm into the second half of my career, but my goal is always to be more champions... Kyrie Owen? I like his style, you know, I've partnered more than one defender with such offensive firepower before, Devon, Victor... I'm eager to join Carey, and the Entire Lakers, in a championship. ”
In the 2018-19 season, LeBron only played 55 games due to injury, and the Lakers missed the playoffs.
In the 2019-20 season, the Lakers are back on the road.
On January 26, 2020, Kobe Bryant, who was supposed to have an affair, received a call from Owen.
"Yo old man, can we come and play for a while?"
"Good!"
In the backyard of Bryant's house, Owen and Bryant fight until the sun sets, sweating profusely.
"Have you been playing since you retired, old man?"
"Well, it must have been harder than you, boy."
"Old man, you know, LeBron is such a guy who can win, but I always feel a little awkward..."
"I understand, it's normal. You don't have to be friends with every teammate. ”
"But wouldn't that be ununited?"
"I'm telling you, boy. I used to dislike sharks, and he didn't like me. We were never good friends. But we can win the championship together. Do you think I like to pass to Bynum? No. But I can take the championship with him. ”
"I know, I wasn't mature before, but I'm mature now."
"No, you're not actually mature yet. You still think that winning the championship is to take responsibility and play your own skills. No. If you want a championship, then go to the championship and don't think about anything else. Don't try to prove this and prove that, just go to the championship. ”
"So I can win the championship with LeBron?"
"You absolutely can, boy. I'll be honest with you, I had a dream that you and LeBron, beat that Warriors, the Warriors, the Warriors who won 73, and you shot a crucial three-pointer — you have the potential to make history. Believe me, boy. ”
"Then why can't I win the championship with you?"
"Because you were a hairy boy at the time, you didn't understand anything. Now, you see, you're at least willing to think about your own style. You start to really think about the championship. Go ahead and get the championship with LeBron. ”
"Okay—how come you're tired?"
you, I'm not tired.
"Admit it, old man, you're old, you used to play with me for such a long time one-on-one and didn't even put your hands on your knees." Rest too. ”
"Hmm."
On January 26, 2020, because of an afternoon of playing with Irving, Kobe Bryant's legs were sore, although his mouth was strong, but he rested at home for three days.
So on January 26, 2020, nothing happened.
