Legendary star

Chapter 225 Kobe Bryant Proves by Killing

"Meng, it's up to you to defend Kobe in this game." Although Meng Xu is now playing point guard, once the Spurs encounter a super scorer like Kobe, Popovich will still arrange for Meng Xu to defend him. .So in the locker room just now, when assistant coach Mike Budenholzer was arranging tactics, Popovich personally ordered Meng Xu to defend Kobe in this game. With Kobe's current state, whether it is Mario Eli Or Sean Elliott, without exception, will be blown away by Kobe.

Kobe this season has ushered in a big explosion in statistics. On the one hand, after the series between the Lakers and the Spurs last season, Kobe's ability value has entered the ranks of superstars. When preparing for the playoffs, all kinds of feints and rests, part of the phone calls that originally belonged to O'Neal were also transferred to Kobe's here, and after Glenn Rice was sent away, Kobe became the Lakers The only core and scorer on the outside.In the 21 games that have been completed this season, Kobe scored 15+ in 30 games, 5+ in 40 games, and even scored a career-high 12 points in the game against the Warriors on December 6. At present, Kobe and Iverson are also the only two stars in the league who average more than 51 points per game.

Especially in these few games where O'Neal was absent, in the back-to-back games between the Lakers and the Rockets yesterday, Kobe made 26 of 20 shots and 6 of 4 free throws, scoring the second highest 2 points this season. On December 46, the Lakers played against the Heat at home. Kobe scored 12 points again. On December 19, the Lakers played against the Raptors at home. In the duel between Kobe and Carter, Vince Carter scored 33 points and 12 rebounds. 17 assists, and Kobe made 35 of 12 shots and 6 of 29 free throws, scoring 14 points again.

Meng Xu had already heard about Kobe's crazy scoring mode, and he went to consult Anna. When Anna told Meng Xu that Kobe's current strength value had reached 94, Meng Xu immediately petrified. Could this kid also have a system similar to his own? In just one summer, Kobe's strength soared from 90 to 94. Even a pen with a pen like himself couldn't do it.And now Kobe is also looking for his own path to complete the transformation from a superstar to a superstar, and according to Kobe's performance this season, Kobe chose the same path as Iverson, that is to kill, with crazy scoring , and frenzied killing to complete his own sublimation.Just like in fantasy novels, as long as Kobe completes this last step, then Kobe will be like a dragon entering the sea in the future, and there is nothing that can restrain him.And Kobe will also become a player at the same level as O'Neal, Duncan, and Iverson.

It can be said that from the moment Kobe entered the league, Kobe was very clear about his future path. This is a player who is determined to surpass Jordan. Like Jordan, he used the basketball in his hands to continuously defeat his opponents.

But Kobe was not like Jordan. He was the core of the team and the focus of the court as soon as he entered the league.Kobe first played as a substitute for All-Star guard Eddie Jones for two seasons, and then after the team traded away Eddie Jones last year, Kobe gradually took the position. Even so, the Lakers still have Queen Bee Glen Rice and O'Neal This omnipotent big fat man, so Kobe has been working hard to suppress his desire to score on the court.And after Phil Jackson arrived, the champion coach was also very optimistic about Kobe, and even talked to Kobe in person, wanting to transform him into the next Scottie Pippen, although on the surface he was very optimistic about Phil Jackson, the coach. Jordan's championship coach respects him very much, but in Kobe's heart he scoffed at Phil Jackson's rhetoric, Pippen?The devil wants to be Pippen.

With Kobe, who broke through the shackles in the series against the Spurs last season, the suppression deep in his heart has gradually loosened, and as O'Neal played less and less this season, even in O'Neal And under the deliberate connivance of Phil Jackson, the desire in Kobe's heart became stronger and stronger. Because of this, Kobe's desire to attack the basket has become stronger and stronger this season. He wants to prove it through continuous scoring. To myself, to prove that I am not weaker than the big fat man in the team, not weaker than Iverson and Ray Allen who entered the league at the same time as myself.

"Greg, this afro kid from the Lakers, is too obsessed with offense." Just after the game started, Mike Budenholzer reminded Popovich. Denholzer seemed to be a little confused, leaving such a powerful weapon as O'Neill unused, but allowing Kobe to play singles, and he didn't know what the old KFC man opposite him was thinking.Thinking of this, Mike Budenholzer also looked at Meng Xu, who was defending Kobe. If this guy dared to do this to Kobe, Greg would definitely put him on the bench, or even send him away, right?
"Compared to the last game, this little guy has improved again." Seeing Kobe's performance on the court, Popovich was also amazed. Kobe and McGrady are probably the two most popular guards in the league right now. In addition to Carter, Iverson, these four people occupy 4 of the top six in the regular season scoring list, David Stern's vision is really vicious.Although he is very amazed by Kobe's current performance, Popovich is not worried at all. Instead, he gloats and glances at Phil Jackson on the opposite side. Kobe's performance is undoubtedly a double-edged sword. Use it well Hurt others, hurt yourself if you don't use it well, of course Phil Jackson may not have these worries now, because Kobe's current performance, in Phil Jackson's view, all of this is still under his control.

Kobe is one of the most talented players coached by Phil Jackson, so Phil Jackson admires Kobe very much in his heart. This is a player who can become Pippen, or even surpass Pippen.Although in the Lakers' triangle offensive tactics, O'Neal has always been the core of doing his part, but O'Neal is a huge insider with a natural defect of insufficient attack range, so the upper limit of this Lakers will never reach Jordan's Bulls so high.So when Kobe showed a strong offensive ability in the series against the Spurs last season, the first thing Phil Jackson thought of was to release Kobe's offensive power, and then create a dual-core team of O'Neal and Kobe. It will neither waste Kobe's offensive talent, but also solve O'Neal's lack of attack range.With Kobe and O'Neal, two superstars inside and outside, this Lakers will definitely reach the height of the Bulls back then, and even surpass them.

"Meng, you really let me down." When Kobe faced Meng Xu again, Kobe slapped the basketball while leaning against Meng Xu with a look of hatred on his face. When Kobe watched Meng Xu After Xu's first game against the Timberwolves, Kobe regarded Meng Xu as his own kind, but as the season progressed, compared to that game, Meng Xu seemed to be a completely different person. , Except for a few occasional games, in most of the rest of the games, there is no desire to attack the basket, and the heart is all about grabbing rebounds and passing the ball for teammates. It is really going to Scottie Pippen. For Meng Xu This change made Kobe disappointed and helpless.Similarly, in the game between the Spurs and the Magic, after the duel between Meng Xu and McGrady was hyped, Kobe, who refused to admit defeat, was also looking forward to a hearty duel between himself and Meng Xu, but this time During the game, Meng Xu shrank his head. After 3 minutes, he didn't even make a single shot.

"Kobe, basketball is not just about scoring. It's a sport for five people. No matter how strong one person is, he can't beat five people." Although Meng Xu really wanted to have a century-old confrontation with Kobe right now, the two scored 50+ , and tomorrow I will become the focus of the entire basketball world, and the focus of everyone, but there is really no way, the head coach will not let me brush, and in my own system, 50+ is not as high as a double-double. , so I still feel at ease to get a triple-double. Wait until the fourth quarter of the game. In case the Spurs fall behind and I stand up, even if I score a few points in a single quarter, the head coach will not be able to say anything. The team is behind, and I am desperately scoring points to get back to the board. You can still replace me.

Kobe was not talking, but showed a disdainful expression, disagreed with each other, and after pushing Meng Xu hard, Kobe turned his back and jumped up to shoot.Although Meng Xu's defensive judgment is very good and his jumping speed is also very good, but every time Kobe uses this move, Meng Xu basically has no way to block Kobe, and Kobe's state is not good in this game. normal.So what Meng Xu can do now is try to make Kobe shoot in a more difficult posture and score in a more difficult way. No matter how many points Kobe can score in this game, as long as he can limit his shooting percentage below 40%, then This game's own defense against Kobe was a success.

But judging from the current results, Meng Xu is still not satisfied. Although Meng Xu's defense is already in place, Kobe's touch is still very hot. Only 5 of the first 3 shots were made.
