In O 'Neill's autobiography, it is said that he once had a fight with Kobe Bryant, who called him O 'Neill, but I don't know if O really felt that K's growth was in crisis, and there was a phenomenon of disharmony between face and heart. Others said that they were all hyping up for a long night, and the time was set to February 24, which was full of noise and stories. The Lakers just beat the Suns at the Macy's Center in Phoenix, 14-92, and their winning streak expanded to four games. Kobe Bryant and Shaq O 'Neill are surrounded by reporters and cameras respectively. The media are so eager to dig up news that both stars are forced to retreat to a corner of the gray locker room. Finally, one after another, the two players answered all the questions and walked slowly along the bleak passage to the parking lot. The teammates were waiting for them on the bus. The fans appeared, leaning against the metal fence, shouting one after another: "Kobe! Kobe! " "Shaq, hey, Shaq!" Kobe stopped, and he started signing autographs for a little girl wearing the Lakers' No.8 jersey. O 'Neill walked in front of Kobe Bryant, and he also stopped, grabbed the poster handed by the fans and scribbled his name quickly. Kobe walked slowly in front of O 'Neill. He agreed to a VIP's photo request and POSE for the camera. O 'Neill overtook Kobe again. He bent down and whispered some encouraging words to a boy in a wheelchair. From beginning to end, neither Kobe nor O 'Neal looked at each other. No communication eyes, no understanding smile-this is like their own journey, they walk on two parallel lines, but there is no intersection. The same thing happened in the stadiums in Houston and Atlanta, and in the hotel lobbies in Boston and new york. Teammates and staff insisted that the two stars also talked privately, and they joked and laughed loudly like old friends. However, in the past eight years, there has never been a real friendship between Kobe Bryant and O 'Neal. Kobe Bryant and O 'Neill will never think of having dinner together in an away game. They are always at arm's length, just like in the home team locker room of Staples Center, Kobe Bryant's wardrobe and O 'Neill's wardrobe are just at the two ends of the right angle; They may stare at the championship ring at the same time, but their eyes never stay on each other's faces, even for a moment. 1,/k/24-6-6/1239922161. shtml2, /xstd/23wy/lqtd/jiqiao1.htm If there were no Phil Jackson, there might be no "OK" combination in the past. Kobe Bryant and Shaq O 'Neal both want to prove that they can't live without each other, and now is the best time for them to prove themselves. Before the "Christmas dinner" began, Kobe apologized to O 'Neill, hoping that the latter would forgive his remarks about O 'Neill spending money on women last season. This seems to be Kobe's compromise with O 'Neal, but many media believe that this is a provocation of Kobe. Kobe Bryant hopes to defeat the Heat led by O 'Neal at Staples. At the same time, O 'Neill also hopes to return to his former home for the first time and win a victory. The contradiction between Kobe Bryant and O 'Neal is that they both want to be the core players of the Lakers, but it happened that Phil Jackson gave the core to O 'Neal. The "Zen Master" hoped that the Lakers could play the triangle attack, and O 'Neal acted as the main force inside, so it was best for the Lakers to hand over every attack to O 'Neal first. But Kobe doesn't like this. He prefers to end the attack by himself. Therefore, there is a contradiction between Kobe and O 'Neal. From the competitive sports itself, neither player is wrong, and everyone wants his team to win the game; But in terms of team interests, it is obvious that Kobe pays more attention to personal interests than collective interests. Kobe once said: "O 'Neill and I are not good friends, just teammates." Indeed, there is no spark between Kobe Bryant and O 'Neal, but it should be admitted that the "OK combination" has its own characteristics. O 'Neal has dominance inside, but without Kobe Bryant's help and breakthrough outside, it is difficult for the Lakers to win the game. In the first few years of the two sides, O 'Neal and Kobe were still in harmony. But with the arrival of the triple crown, the Lakers players lost themselves. This summer, Kobe Bryant, who ended the sex scandal lawsuit, successfully renewed his contract with the Lakers, and the amount of renewal exceeded $1 million. This also forced O 'Neill to leave Los Angeles. The feud between O 'Neill and Kobe Bryant is far from over. For them, now is just a new beginning. Everyone wants his team to win the game, and Kobe Bryant and O 'Neill are no exception.
