My Name is Kobe Bryant

At the Great Western Forum, the Lakers, who had rested for two days, ushered in the challenge of the Seattle Supersonics, the fourth in the West.

The performance of the Seattle SuperSonics this season has declined slightly compared to the past two years. They are currently 34 wins and 15 losses. Compared with the Lakers with 45 wins and 5 losses, Houston with 41 wins and 10 losses, and the Utah Jazz with 40 wins and 13 losses, the gap has gradually widened.

Last year's top spot in the Western Conference fell to fourth place this year. Both the record and the team's dominance have declined severely.

Although there are still 30 games in the season, the Seattle SuperSonics are obviously behind, and there is little hope of catching up with the previous teams.

Since Houston traded for Jim Jackson, it has soared into the sky immediately. The inside and outside lines are almost perfect. The recent record is comparable to the Lakers and the Bulls. Olajuwon scored 32 points, 16 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 steals and 5 blocks against the Bulls. Fantastic data, blowing up the bulls.

Commentators generally believe that Houston will become the number one enemy of the Lakers and Bulls, and if they want to win the championship, they cannot avoid this opponent.

The finals may be staged, the scene where the god of defenders will face the god of insiders. This is also the peak matchup that American audiences have been looking forward to for a long time.

Although Barkley has been injured recently, Houston's record has not been affected at all. Olajuwon single-handedly provoked the team's inside line, and with the iron man AC Green, he played a takeover-level performance every game, making Houston a rare defeat.

As for the Utah Jazz, the paper lineup is far inferior to the Bulls, Lakers, and Houston, the three king teams. The Jazz's lineup background is insufficient. In the starting lineup, the combination of two white guards Jeff Hornacek and John Stockton will naturally be weak in defense.

Perhaps this problem will not be exposed when facing most teams in the league. After all, Stockton's defense can also be ranked among the best defensive teams in the regular season.

But once they enter the playoffs, facing the top defenders, the 1.85-meter Stockton and the 1.91-meter Hornacek, the defense on the back line will inevitably become their confidant.

Especially the Jazz's bench is far from hoarding a lineup as deep as the other three teams. The Jazz's sixth man is actually just a power forward Antoine Kyle who averaged 7.4+2.4 per game. This is the strongest player on their bench.

Even in this case, the Jazz this season is still triumphant. Played the fourth best record in the league, which has to make everyone look at them with admiration.

Malone's unsolvable performance, Jerry Sloan's tactics, and Stockton's organization and defense are the keys to the success of this team.

Especially Karl Malone, this season has completely transformed into a unique power forward, leaving behind his old rival Barkley, or the emerging power forward Kemp.

Averaged 27.4 points, 9.9 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 1.4 steals, 0.6 blocks and 2.8 turnovers per game.

Such an unsolvable offensive weapon is the top priority of the Jazz's success. There are rumors that the player of the month in February is very likely to be won by Malone. His ability to lead the team has exceeded the expectations of media commentators, and the team's record has also greatly surpassed the paper strength of his own team.

So even if Kobe Bryant also played a dominant performance in February, the league will still give priority to veteran Malone this award.

This kind of seniority ranking is very common in the alliance. Not only the player of the month, even the MVP is sometimes affected by this.

The Supersonics and Jazz this season are two completely different teams. The Jazz has achieved results above the paper level, while the Supersonics have achieved a record that is completely inconsistent with expectations.

As the team that won the Western Conference regular season championship last year and won 64 wins, the youth team that wrestled with the Bulls in the Finals.

A young military team on the rise, with the entire team retained this year, should have continued to grow stronger, but this year's Supersonic record has declined instead.

Payton's defensive enthusiasm declined after he got a big contract. Because it was a contract year, Kemp asked the team for a contract of 100 million yuan. Under this situation, other players inevitably had other thoughts.

Against such a background, the Supersonics, a team with bright prospects, are not as good as last year.

The Sonics desperately need a victory to prove their strength.

After being beaten by Kobe and Jordan in a row, Payton also needs to prove his defensive ability. Especially in the All-Star game, as a starter, Payton was directly DNP by Harris. This kind of encounter made him hate the Lakers!

Payton in this life may never have the opportunity to join the Lakers again. At present, they are completely in a life-and-death relationship.

On February 16, at the Great Western Forum, the Lakers played against the Seattle SuperSonics 4 hours before the game.

Kobe Bryant in the arena for shooting drills.

"DUANG."

"DUANG."

"DUANG."

Kobe frowned, this feeling was outrageous.

He was thinking, how to help the team with such a touch?

As the top of the historical blacksmithing list, Kobe Bryant has a lot of unique knowledge and understanding about blacksmithing.

Sometimes, blacksmithing is not a bad thing.

If the opponent's defensive players are all focused, even if they hit the iron at this time, it can also increase the probability of the team's offensive rebounds. This is commonly known as a rebound!

As for the auxiliary board, Kobe has a lot of experience.

O'Neal and Bryant averaged 3.4 front boards the previous season together.

After partnering with Kobe, he averaged 3.8 front boards per game in one season.

Immediately after leaving Kobe, he dropped to an average of 3.5 front boards per game.

Before Gasol and Kobe partnered, they averaged 2.4 offensive rebounds per game.

After three years with Kobe, he averaged 3.4 offensive rebounds.

Odom and Kobe Bryant averaged 1.4 offensive rebounds per game before their career.

In the six years with Kobe, it has risen to 2.2 offensive rebounds.

The rest are Kwame Brown, Bynum, Jordan Hill and so on. They all played the best offensive rebounding performance of their careers next to Kobe.

This is the power of the auxiliary board! In terms of assists, Kobe is the best in history!

There is another key to blacksmithing, that is, if you can't make a shot yourself, you must make the opponent not make a shot!

Kobe's offensive efficiency is not high among historical superstars. His most powerful is his killer instinct, and his ability to make key shots is the best in history.

How can the team win when Kobe doesn't feel good?

Kobe has another trick, defense!

Defense wins the championship, Kobe's every championship is not purely relying on offense. His 12 best defensive team honors prove this point. On defense, Kobe is worthy of Payton!

Especially Payton's offensive ability is not outstanding in the first place, and it can only be regarded as barely qualified among the stars.

When Kobe pays more attention to defense, he will definitely give Payton a surprise.
