My Name is Kobe Bryant

Chapter 139: A New Legend

This is a great era, and even numbers of the top 50 superstars are active in the present.

This is a magnificent era, veterans and rising stars complement each other.

This is a lucky era, and fans can enjoy the most peak collision of basketball.

And just today, the brilliance of the two rookies overwhelmed the entire basketball world.

55 points! 48 points! It's not the score Jordan scored against the Smiling Assassin, or Dr. J's score against Bird.

That's right, this is the performance of the two rookies of the 96 generation! They may not be able to keep up with Dr. J, and Isaiah Thomas. But the future of the NBA is theirs!

———Los Angeles Times

In the era when Jordan was in the sun and the moon, the newcomers have sprung up like mushrooms after a spring rain. But I want to say that the pair of rookies Kobe and Iverson must be unprecedented, and there is a high probability that there will be no one after.

There has never been a generation of rookies who can play this kind of performance in the first year, with two people!

Even in the 84 diamond generation that year, the confrontation between Jordan and Olajuwon has never been so exciting! Kobe and Iverson are born superstars.

Even if the rookies of the 96 generation didn't have any other players, just relying on Kobe and Iverson is enough to support the title of the 96 golden generation!

Their future is worthy of our expectations, and their future will be a sea of ​​stars!

God bless the NBA, God bless the Republic of America!

----New York Times

Perhaps there is only one word that can describe Kobe's 55 points, and that is a natural superstar. A kid who just turned 18 in the summer, in his first season in the NBA, played what many stars haven't done in their lifetimes.

The No. 1 pick Iverson may have been great, but I believe that this summer, the leaders of all the teams holding the No. 2 pick-the No. 12 pick will regret their decision.

Can high school players adapt to the NBA? Kobe answered.

----Washington post

Is Kobe like a magician?

Is Iverson like Isaiah Thomas?

No! They are who they are!

Be unique!

As long as there are no injuries, they will soon challenge Jordan's throne.

this day

maybe not far

Butcher version! The game between Kobe and Iverson killed all the sports pages of newspapers on the second day. The three largest newspapers in the United States also spare no effort to tout them, not to mention some small newspapers.

It seems that they were not the ones who questioned Kobe and Iverson's signing of the huge contract yesterday, and the speed of changing faces shocked others.

The impact of this game on Kobe far exceeds the victory over the Bulls!

Why?

There is no team that does not lose a dozen games in the regular season throughout the season. Even last year's Bulls lost 10 games in the regular season. No matter how strong your team is in the regular season, you will always lose due to various factors during the long season.

A series of factors such as injuries, touch, physical fitness, tactics, luck, etc. will all happen and the weak will win the strong. The charm of sports is to defeat the strong with the weak. No one thinks that the Bulls are inferior to the Lakers just because the Lakers win a game against the Bulls, and no one thinks that the Bulls will collapse if they lose a game in the regular season.

Winning or losing is a very normal thing in a long season. The victory over the Bulls only allowed the Lakers to reach second place from third place in the combat power rankings, and even this position is not stable.

However, 55 points is different!

The last time a player scored 50+ points in his rookie season was Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in 1970! On February 21, 1970, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar scored 51 points in the Bucks' victory over the Sonics.

Push it further! That's what Chamberlain was in the 70's!

The highest scoring record for a rookie was in 1960 when Big Dipper Wilt Chamberlain made 24 of 41 shots against the Pistons on January 25, scoring 58 points, 42 rebounds and 4 assists.

Tied for first place was Chamberlain, who scored 58 points and 24 rebounds on 26 of 47 shots and 6 of 9 free throws against the Knicks on February 22, 1960.

The second place is Rick Barry scored 57 points in 1965!

The third place is 56 points scored by Al Monroe in 1968!

Kobe's 55 points rank fourth in league history! The key is the highest score in nearly 30 years! Even a group of outside superstars such as Jordan, Bird, Magician, Dr. J, Wilkins, etc. have never scored 50+ in their rookie period!

And Iverson's 49 points are equally outstanding! Ranked tenth among rookies in scoring! Is the only guard in the top ten besides Kobe! Although he was very dissatisfied after the game and kept complaining to Kobe, he must get a higher score next time. But such a performance was enough to shock the league.

Is Kobe satisfied with his 55 points? Not satisfied, just score two more goals! You can get to 60! Kobe Bryant had a few shots in the fourth quarter that he thought he would make, but it was a pity that he missed the basket.

Only a third of the season has passed, wait until the end of the season, when the physical fitness and state are better. When the right time, place and people are together, Kobe plans to hit 60+ again!

But this time it's single defense, and no team will choose single defense when Kobe breaks out in the future.

If there were people who thought that Kobe and Iverson would be parallel imports, but the performance of this game was enough to block the mouths of any media and any players.

Superstar! On the top ten rookie scoring list, there is no player who is not a superstar!

From now on, Kobe and Iverson are recognized superstar embryos. It is only a matter of time before they become superstars, and no one will doubt this.

The board members of eBay and Reebok were secretly pleased, but fortunately they signed the contract before this game. If you sign after finishing the fight, the amount may be doubled.

This is not nonsense, a proper superstar, such a young superstar, who has at least 10 years to peak, is worth the price!

If only they knew that Kobe's peak was still 20+ years away. . . I'm afraid Stern can't help but confess Kobe as his master.

The photo of Kobe swaying to Jerry Stackhouse has been widely used. This time he is also famous. Everyone knows that Jerry Stackhouse defended Kobe and scored 55 points.

However, after analysis by the league expert group, they still believe that Jerry Stackhouse's defense is very good. In front of Kobe in this state, unless he is a defender of Jordan's level, no other player will have much defensive effect. Big difference. It's true, Jerry Stackhouse fought to the end. Kobe also recognized Jerry Stackhouse's defense in this game. Ordinary defensive players will be destroyed if they can't defend against the fourth quarter.

Jerry Stackhouse may have a big nerve, but he has to admit that his willpower is firm.

The winter in California in 1996 was not cold, and it has been half a year since Kobe came to this era.

And his future will be even more exciting.
