My Name is Kobe Bryant

"My God, the Bulls played against the Philadelphia 76ers yesterday. The No. 1 pick Allen Iverson and Jordan faced each other! Jordan scored 31 points, 1 rebound and 3 assists on 12 of 29 shots, and Iverson scored 32 points and 4 assists on 11 of 23 shots. 4 assists! Allen is even better! (real historical data)" In the Lakers training hall, Fisher, a newspaper collector, was amazed.

"It's amazing. It's worthy of being a player who can be compared with our Kobe Bryant." Eddie Jones is a good guy in the team and has a very good relationship with the rookies.

"Although the last quarter was overturned, the Bulls narrowly won 111:105. Even though Jordan didn't feel good throughout the game, he finally defended Iverson and blocked him, and then hit two consecutive mid-range shots to kill the game. "

"Ginger is still hot, and Michael Jordan was too ruthless at the critical moment." O'Neal also joined the chat. The Lakers' victory over the Bulls seemed to be yesterday, and he often reminisces about his performance in that game.

"Guys, how do you prepare for Christmas?" After the Lakers defeated the Timberwolves in Minnesota on December 21, they returned to Los Angeles. There were no games on the 22nd, 23rd, and 24th. But on Christmas Day, you need to go to Phoenix to play the Suns.

The NBA's Christmas game in 1996 was far inferior to that of later generations. Basically, strong teams would play one game at a time. The current Christmas game is only scheduled for two games. This situation was not until Stern found that the ratings of the Christmas game increased year by year, and changed it to three games in 2002 and five games in 2009.

This year's Christmas game is of course inseparable from the league's well-deserved protagonist Michael Jordan and his Bulls. They will sit at home and face the Detroit Pistons who have risen from the ashes. Grant Hill currently leads the Pistons to a super strong 20 wins and 5 losses The record is only one more defeat than the Bulls with 22 wins and 4 losses.

The American media has already treated Hill as a superstar. This popular player who was elected as the All-Star voter just after entering the league is the darling of the media. The style of play is very mature in all aspects, and a player whose personal rhythm and team rhythm are perfectly integrated is an excellent idol candidate.

Both the league and the media believe that it would be a very good thing if Grant Hill, a gentle small forward, becomes the face of the league in the post-Jordan era, and it will be of great help to the league's positive image.

So Stern appointed, this year's Christmas battle! Bulls vs Pistons! The king of the future against the god of the present!

In another game, the Los Angeles Lakers played against the Phoenix Suns at home. Before the start of the season, Stern never imagined that the Phoenix Suns, who were still a strong team in the playoffs last season, almost collapsed at the beginning of the season due to the departure of Charles Barkley and the injury of Kevin Johnson. The trade brought the team back.

The Suns now have the top two-team engine, Kevin Johnson and Jason Kidd. At the same time, Ceballos began to recover as the season progressed.

The traded Kevin Willis and Danny Manning form an inside double gun. The two skills are comprehensive, and the inside line with projection cooperates with two point guards. The offensive deterrence brought by them is simply terrifying!

The Suns played a wave of 0-8 at the beginning. After the coaching change and trade, they adapted and adapted, and slowly recovered their record. They won 7 games in the last ten games, and their total record came to 11 wins and 15 losses. I believe that if this goes on smoothly, they will finally have a chance to reach the playoffs under the leadership of Danny Ainge.

"Christmas! After defeating Phoenix, I invite everyone to drink!" O'Neal waved his hand. Recently, his performance made the media think that the next insider ruler appeared. After leading the team to defeat the Bulls, his performance was even more praised by the media. God. Throughout December, only at the beginning of the month, on December 4th, they lost a game to the Utah Jazz. If in the remaining three games, against the Phoenix Suns on the 25th, against the Boston Celtics on the 27th, and against the Philadelphia 76ers on the 29th, there is no doubt that O'Neal will win the Player of the Month award.

Only one player can be elected in a month, and the gold content of this award can be imagined.

"Wait, there's a little guy under the legal drinking age here." Campbell patted Kobe on the back, which made Kobe, who had always been calm and composed, a little embarrassed, he shrugged helplessly and spread his hands.

Everyone had a good time, not to mention that they all forgot that the player who can control the wind and rain on the field is still 3 years away from the legal drinking age of 21 in the United States.

The Lakers players finished today's training with great enthusiasm. After watching the video, Harris announced the disbandment. Next, the team will give them a 2-day Christmas holiday, allowing them to spend time with their families who missed the family dinner because of the Christmas game. . Christmas is a very important festival for Western people, similar to the Chinese Spring Festival, it is a pity if the family cannot sit together and reunite.

So Bryant has arranged for Pelinka to book a ticket. He will go to Philadelphia to spend this two-day holiday, and then depart directly from Philadelphia to Phoenix. The peak air tickets during the Christmas holiday are very expensive. Two first-class flights cost Kobe nearly $10,000. Why buy first class instead of economy class? One is that it is very difficult to buy tickets during Christmas, and the other is that Kobe can't stretch his body at all in the small space of economy class and business class. Being too tired on the plane will affect his competitive state instead, so the gain outweighs the loss.

After training, Kobe set off for Philadelphia. After landing, he bought a large number of gifts at the Philadelphia Airport duty-free shop. The Lakers' salary and eBay signing bonus were immediately credited, so Kobe didn't have to save money at all.

Kobe opened the door. He didn't tell his family that he would be back in these two days. The family thought that Kobe would stay with the team to prepare for the Christmas game.

"Kobe!" Kobe's sister Sarah was the first to discover that her little brother had returned home, and quickly stepped forward to give him a hug. In his childhood, Kobe was accompanied by two older sisters, and their relationship was very deep.

"Sarah, Sally. This is a Christmas gift for you!" Kobe Bryant generally moved out bags of gifts from the taxi, including cosmetics, jewelry, clothing and so on.

"Hmph." Old Qiao was dissatisfied. Doesn't this bastard know how to buy something for his father?

"Old Joe, this is for you." Kobe handed Old Joe a basketball.

"Basketball? I tm have hundreds of basketballs at school!" Old Joe exclaimed angrily.

"This is the basketball that killed Michael Jordan!" Kobe raised his chin.

Old Qiao was stunned and quickly put the ball away. The commemorative value of this ball is incredible. This is a great honor. Although Old Qiao didn't say anything, he was really proud of his son.

The family of five spent two days in the hustle and bustle. Kobe loves such days. He feels that the fatigue accumulated during the season has been swept away. This is the warmth of home.

Next stop, Phoenix!

Kevin Garnett has been cleaned up by me, Danny Ainge, the next one is you!
