My Name is Kobe Bryant

At the Lakers training facility, a familiar face has returned to the team.

"Bruce! Let me see your eyebrows. I heard that the doctor shaved off your eyebrows to give you stitches!" Campbell was the first to come up.

"Wow! You really don't have eyebrows anymore! From now on your nickname will be Hero without eyebrows!" The players laughed and laughed.

"Quiet, quiet guys." Kirtland Biss controlled the scene, and Harris began to speak.

"February is here, and we will face many strong teams one after another. I hope everyone will be mentally prepared."

"Next we will play the Washington Bullets at home on February 2, the Clippers on the road on February 4, and back-to-back home games against the Bulls on February 5."

"Then we will have a 7-day non-competition day. We need to hurry up to rest and adjust during this period. Players who participate in the All-Star need to pay attention to their physical reserves."

"Speaking of All-Stars, I am the head coach of this year's Western Conference All-Stars." Harris smiled slightly. will win.

"Congratulations coach!"

"The best coach!"

The lick dog growled loudly.

"After the All-Star, we are entering the sprint towards the end of the season. We must maintain a good state and win as many victories as possible while ensuring that we do not get injured."

"Get ready, everyone, we're heading to Washington DC!"

On the flight to Washington, the Lakers players were discussing the All-Star thing.

When Kobe was selected as the All-Star starter, his All-Star schedule was full. The first is to participate in the rookie challenge, then the slam dunk contest, and finally participate in the main game.

This year's All-Star rookie game is divided into Eastern and Western teams, and only first-year rookies can participate in the competition. That is to say, all the 96 Golden Generations were selected.

Four players from the Lakers were selected for the Western Conference team!

Kobe Bryant, Derek Fisher, Bruce Bowen, Ben Wallace. It is the team with the most players selected in this rookie game and the team with the most players in history.

The other players of the Western team are Sharif Abdul Rahim, Matt Maloney, Lorenzen Wright, Steve Nash, Stephen Marbury, Lorenzen Wright.

This year's rookie game, the western part is full of Kobe's people. Kobe is going to make a big move and set the highest score in the rookie challenge.

The Eastern team is Anthony Walker, Ray Allen, Vitali Potapanko, Marcus Camby, Eric Dampier, Roy Rogers, Allen Iverson, Kerry Kittel Smith, John Wallace.

"Boss! We're sure to win!" Fisher has fallen into fantasy. After he won his first honor in Cleveland, countless crushes threw themselves into their arms.

"Hey, you moved half of the Lakers to play in the Rookie Challenge." You don't need to look to know that it is Campbell who is acting weird.

Due to the low ratings of the slam dunk contest in previous years, the league released the news before this slam dunk contest that the 97 dunk contest will be the last one. Despite this, it still did not attract other stars besides Kobe.

This year's slam dunk contest includes Denver Nuggets rookie Davin Ham. Sophomore Michael Finley of the Dallas Mavericks. Minnesota Timberwolves sophomore, Chris Karl. Los Angeles Lakers rookie, Kobe Bryant. Milwaukee Bucks rookie, Ray Allen. Home Cleveland Cavaliers sophomore, Bob Sura.

Kobe thinks that Ray Allen and Michael Finley are more threatening, and other players are not afraid.

The three-point contest has attracted a lot of players this year. Dale Ellis, Steve Kerr, Tim Legler, Terry Mills, Sam Perkins, Glen Rice, John Stockton, Walter Williams.

None of them are ordinary people. With the development of the league, more and more attention has been paid to the three-point offense, and there have been more three-point masters.

Kobe did not choose to participate in the three-point contest this year. If he has the opportunity next year, he is willing to try it.

"Boss, what moves do you use in the slam dunk contest? Can you tell me?" Fisher wanted to borrow some words from Kobe so that he could brag to the girls.

Kobe ignored Fisher, who was in the spring, and he slowly read the newspaper.

There are mixed opinions on Kobe's participation in the All-Star Game. Some even say that this is Stern's conspiracy. Kobe doesn't have so many votes!

interesting.

The remaining All-Star substitute players need to wait for the vote of the league coaches, which will be produced in a few days.

Because of O'Neal's injury, Eddie Jones is very likely to be selected for the Lakers. As the league's No. 1 team, it doesn't make sense to have only one player selected as an All-Star.

The journey from Los Angeles to Washington, D.C. was a bit long, and Kobe slowly closed his eyes.

Washington, District of Columbia, the capital of the United States, is named after George Washington, the president of the United States. It was established as the capital in 1790 and is a special administrative division directly under the jurisdiction of the United States Congress. Therefore, it does not belong to any state in the United States.

The Washington Bullets are the team with the most name changes in the NBA. They joined the NBA in 1961 and their first name was the Chicago Packers. 1962-63 called Chicago Zephyr. 1963-1973 called the Baltimore Bullets. 1973-1974 called the Capital Bullets. 1974-1997 became the Washington Bullets.

Kobe knew they would change their names again after this season.

Since the 1960s, the team has been one of the strong teams in the East, making consecutive playoffs and winning the first championship in team history in the 1977-78 season. However, in the 1990s, the Wizards played the role of losers most of the time. Before this season, they had not entered the playoffs. They currently rank seventh in the Eastern Conference with 22 wins and 22 losses.

Their star is known as the most flashy offensive power forward, Chris Webber, this is his fourth season in the league. With an average of 20.1 points, 10.3 rebounds, 4.6 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.9 blocks per game, he is an out-and-out top power forward.

In addition, their point guard Rod Strickland is also a very good guard. He has averaged 18+9 top offensive guard data per game for many consecutive seasons. have a hand. He is also the godfather of the later king Kyrie Irving. The two play styles have a lot in common. It can be said that Rod Strickland is a version of Irving with reduced projection and enhanced organization.

Besides those two stars, they also have some good role players.

At present, George Muresan, the tallest in the NBA at 2.31 meters, is in the Washington team, averaging 10.6 points and 6.6 rebounds per game this season.

The No. 5 pick in 1994, Juwan Howard, averaged 22.1 points, 8.1 rebounds and 4.4 assists last season. This season, he averaged 19.1 points, 8.0 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game. He is a very tough striker.

The lineup on paper should not be underestimated. How will their coach Jim Linam deal with Kobe who is leading the team with a single core?
