Chapter 515 A Different Team 3
"From what I saw in that game, the Los Angeles Lakers team has an even stronger team with the return of Robert Horry and the entrance of Dennis Rodman, with the team even stronger the chance of this team winning the NBA title as well and bigger."
"It's true, we will continue to follow the Lakers team this season and see if they can win the NBA title again after so many years."
After the game the reporters asked again to interview some players, they went this time to interview Kobe Bryant and Jake, Kobe didn't give interviews at all games, but it was Dennis Rodman's debut so he knew what the questions would be.
"Hi Kobe, you performed poorly in the last game against the Los Angeles Clippers team, but in that game, your performance was much better, why do you think it happened?"
"In the previous game I had less time playing, it happens in some games of a player to perform poorly, so in this game, I focused more and managed to make a better game."
"What did you think of signing Dennis Rodman on the Los Angeles Lakers team this season?"
"I think he can help the team a lot this season, we need a player to help more in defense and rebounds, and Dennis is an excellent player and has won some NBA titles and he can certainly help us."
After the interview with Kobe, the reporters tried an interview with Jake who was also a difficult player to interview, Jake also knew he had to speak to the reporters at Dennis's debut.
"Jake, what did you think of signing Dennis Rodman on the Los Angeles Lakers team and what did you think of his debut in that game?"
"I am a big fan of Dennis, I think he is an excellent player who proved this by winning 5 NBA titles, he is also a great defensive player and the rebounds he picks up can help our team win more games this season. "
"With Robert's recovery and Dennis joining the team, we have a stronger team now that can handle this difficult game sequence."
"In this game, Dennis showed that he can help the team a lot by catching the rebounds, with him on the team, I and the other players will have more confidence to make mid-range shots and shots from outside."
Jake said what he thought about Dennis, he didn't talk about his concerns, but that was something he just needed to worry about if it really happened, Jake thought that with the Los Angeles Lakers team beating Dennis he could stay on the team in the playoffs and help team trying to win an NBA title.
The fans of the Los Angeles Lakers team were very happy with the team after this great sequence of victories at the beginning of the season, the players were also happy with that and the hope of winning the NBA title at the end of the season only increased.
After that game the players returned home to rest, the next day the Lakers team would have no game and the players would just have to do a light training and that would give the players more rest.
The coach Kurt Rambis was concerned with this sequence of games without rest for the players, the medical team was also concerned with injuries of the players, after all any simple injury that would take the player for 1 week would leave him out for 4 games.
So coach Rambis had to replace players in most games, so coach Rambis was even more satisfied with Jake who could play the full 48 minutes in every game.
