BEIJING, May 7 (ESPN) -- Kobe Bryant, the alleged loyalist of the Lakers, has accomplished very few playoff games this season after finishing the regular season. Bryant appeared physically exhausted but quickly recovered. One key member within the team's training staff, Pat Witte, and today the Lakers' trainer, took us into the world of Los Angeles' Iron Man. Pat Witte worked with Riley and Phil Jackson, as well as for Magic Johnson, Shaquille O’Neal, and Kobe Bryant. He has been serving the Lakers for 26 years. How does Witte view Bryant as a player? Witte smiled and said that it seemed unusual to him at first contact. Witte’s long-standing sense of confidence is that Kobe Bryant is worth giving trust to. He stated, "As long as Kobe trusts you, he will follow all your instructions." Witt has confidence in Bryant's physical actions now and believes that the 31-year-old Bryant can return to play at the level of the 80s era. Not everyone can endure such confrontations; the battles of that era were indeed brutal. During the interview with Witte, the phone rang twice. Witte mentioned it was from Kobe Bryant. The relationship between the Lakers' trainer Pat Witte and Kobe Bryant is simple yet more like a spiritual mentor.
According to ESPN news: Los Angeles Lakers center Andrew Bynum missed Friday’s team training session as his right knee underwent further treatment. Bynum injured his knee during the Lakers' game against the Thunder on May 1. However, the young center did not miss the first two games against the Jazz and performed exceptionally well. After Wednesday’s game, the Lakers have been in a rest state, and this time Bynum's injury recovery is progressing quite well. Bynum has mentioned that he needs offseason surgery, but he intends to continue playing despite the injury.
In the first two games against the Jazz, Bynum averaged 27 minutes per game, scoring 12.5 points, grabbing 12 rebounds, and delivering two blocks, which improved his performance compared to the first-round series against the Thunder. The Lakers are executing their strategy and eating bitter apples at a high level. As long as they continue to play this advantage, they will easily defeat the Jazz. “I’m feeling good,” Bynum said, “Today I received a lot of treatments. These days of rest helped a lot. It can help reduce swelling and pain.”
