My Name is Kobe Bryant

"The Next Magician? Or the next Chamberlain! "

After defeating the Grizzlies on January 14, Kobe Bryant, a rookie, has scored 40+ in the third consecutive game!

In November and December at the beginning of the season, we often compared Kobe and Magic together. The same position, the same team, also has a super center as a teammate. But we are increasingly discovering one thing, that is, Kobe is definitely not the next magician!

At the beginning of the season, Kobe showed his wonderful organizational skills and lethality at critical moments. It might feel like he's going to be a Magician-like point guard, handling the ball and controlling the game. Fill up your own data column with various statistics, although it is not eye-catching, it is ubiquitous in the game!

Kobe used key shots again and again to gradually change people's perceptions of him. He is not just a traditional point guard standing next to O'Neal. He has all the elements necessary to become a superstar, and Kobe, who is only 18 years old, has already done Far more than most players in the league.

During the period from the end of December to the beginning of January, Kobe first scored a legendary 55 points against the same champion Allen Iverson, and then seemed to open his own attack mode. This game made everyone in the league start to know Kobe again. His limit is definitely not just a top organization player!

At present, it confirms the speculation of the media! Score 40+ in three consecutive games, something even rookie Jordan has never done! Such a performance makes people have to compare him with the best scorer in history.

Jordan's performance in his rookie season was also phenomenal. Throughout his rookie season, he scored a total of 40+ times 7 times. Among them, when facing the Pistons, he scored 49 points, 15 rebounds, 5 steals and 4 blocks. This is the highest in his rookie season. Scoring, that season, with his average performance of 28.2 points per game, he overwhelmed Olajuwon, Stockton and other players to win the best rookie.

Chamberlain, he is an all-rounder in sports, because in addition to basketball, he has reached the level of a professional player in sports such as sprinting, high jump, and volleyball. At that time, players like him were almost unstoppable. In addition to the obvious advantage in height, his athletic ability and physical fitness should lead the league. Throughout his rookie season, he scored 32 40+ points, with the highest score being 58 points.

It can be said that in terms of scoring alone, Jordan and Chamberlain are the strongest rookies in history!

And what about Kobe? Only halfway through the season, he has scored 6 40+ points, including 55 points once! It is only a matter of time before the highest score surpasses Jordan, and the 40+ number surpasses Jordan! His scoring average is currently 26.8 points, perhaps not as good as Chamberlain, and also not as good as Jordan.

But this is the data played with a super center like O'Neal beside him! The first thing he has to consider is to make O'Neal play comfortably, and the second is to consider his own scoring. Kobe achieved this data as the team's No. 2 man, which is amazing!

It is not difficult to see that as long as he wants to score, his explosive scoring power is not weaker than that of Jordan and Chamberlain!

At every critical moment of the game, Kobe's takeover of the game makes the opponent's fans feel terrified, and makes his own fans excited. This is Kobe's lethality!

Many people once lamented that they did not witness the birth of a superstar, but now you have the opportunity.

A new legend is rising! 6 times 40+, I believe it is by no means Kobe's limit. Please pay attention to the next game of the Lakers, because a rookie like Kobe is definitely born once every ten years.

Miss this string of performances, and we don't know how long we'll have to wait to see the next rookie like Kobe.

Besides, is Kobe's 40+ journey over like this? The next game will be their old enemy Portland Trail Blazers. Fans can look forward to Kobe's performance in this game.

"Wang Zha of the Lakers, is the biggest opponent of the Chicago Bulls to win the championship?" "

After Michael Jordan led his Bulls to 72 wins in the 95-96 season, everyone knows that this Bulls is the strongest in history. They lived up to expectations and swept their opponents all the way, winning Jordan's fourth championship trophy.

This year's Chicago Bulls maintained the entire team of the 72-win championship lineup, and even signed Chief Robert Parish to sit inside. The whole team thinks that the championship is in their pocket.

If Jordan wins the fifth championship, then his achievements must surpass Magic Johnson and become the first man in history on the guard line.

The league will not tolerate this kind of thing happening. Houston assembled a Big Three lineup, the Sonics kept the entire team of the Western Conference champions, the Jazz duo played the most perfect pick-and-roll tactics, and Jordan's successor Grant Hill Also played the same level of performance as Jordan in the early years and so on.

But the Los Angeles Lakers turned out to be the biggest spoiler, which no one expected. It's not just Shaq O'Neal who brings the team victory, as this game against the Grizzlies proves.

Kobe Bryant scored 43 points, 7 rebounds, 9 assists, 7 steals and 3 blocks. O'Neal scored 41 points and 24 rebounds.

The two dominated almost all of the team's offenses while achieving top-level scoring efficiency.

This is enough to prove that both Shaq and Kobe are players with the ability to change the normal game alone.

In December, the Lakers also defeated the Chicago Bulls in the battle for the league's top spot.

If the Lakers twins continue to maintain such unsolvable performance, can we understand that the Los Angeles Lakers are the team most capable of ending Jordan's championship dream?
