My Name is Kobe Bryant

April 1997 has arrived, and the regular season has entered the last month! The April Fool's Day on April 1 has just passed, and many major events have occurred in the league in succession. The headlines of each sports section are different, and there are too many events worthy of special mention.

March is a month when the league is full of wind and clouds, and the day will change. The battle for the top spot in the league between the Lakers and the Bulls has never been decided. In the battle for the scoring champion, Michael Jordan used a series of exaggerated performances to defeat Kobe in advance to take the honor of the scoring champion into his arms.

Kobe's 60+, the youngest triple-double, hunting down Olajuwon, reversing the Big Three of the Miami Heat and other deeds have shocked the NBA. The title of the youngest superstar is known to everyone in the basketball circle.

The Heat overtook the Pistons, and their record came to second in the Eastern Conference. Houston opted out of the Western Conference battle and began a large-scale rotation. And at this time, there is another team, a team that quietly ushered in a single month of 13 wins and 1 loss!

The best record in March was not created by the Lakers, Bulls, or Houston! It's another championship-level team-the Utah Jazz! Karl Malone averaged 31.8 points, 10.9 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 2.1 steals, 1.2 blocks and 3.5 turnovers per game, leading the team to surpass Houston in one fell swoop with a 54% shooting rate! Got the second regular season record in the Western Conference!

If February is Kobe's solo dance, then March is the show of Karl Malone, Kobe and Jordan. Among them, Kobe and Jordan have become Karl Malone's foil! Although the Jazz's March schedule is relatively easy. This makes Malone's game far less difficult than Kobe and Jordan, but the record speaks for itself!

Michael Jordan averaged 35.9 points, 5.8 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 3.1 steals and 0.8 blocks in a single month. Kobe averaged 28.9 points, 4.2 rebounds, 7.5 assists, 2.5 steals and 1.0 blocks per game in a single month. Both superstars have become Karl Malone's foil!

The league awarded the Player of the Month award to Karl Malone! The best team in March is the Utah Jazz, and the best player in March is Karl Malone!

The Utah Jazz's lineup is far worse than that of several leading teams in the league. Not to mention the Bulls and Lakers, the paper lineups of the Heat's Big Three, Houston, and the Supersonics also crushed the Jazz.

Just like the Pistons led by Grant Hill at the beginning of the season, the Jazz continued to climb with Karl Malone's own strength, surpassing their stronger opponents one after another, and finally climbed to the second position!

What makes Malone stronger than Hill is that after Hill was targeted, the team's record is getting worse and worse, and now even the third position in the Eastern Conference is not stable. And Ma Long is getting stronger as he fights! The current Ma Long can play a dominant performance no matter what he targets. This season, Malone has played a unique performance at the power forward position. He has left Barkley far behind, Wen Baker, and all power forwards in the league.

powerful! Karl Malone leads the Utah Jazz like the first MVP of his career! He deserved the best honor in March.

The Lakers still have two games against the Jazz in April, and these two games will be bloody battles!

The Lakers want to compete with the Bulls for the top spot in the league, and the Jazz want to win the Lakers. If they double-kill the Lakers, then Malone's MVP will be firmly in his hands.

In addition to Malone winning the title of the best of the month in March, Michael Jordan scored 58 points in the Boston Garden Arena, and the greatest personal hero performance with 17 points in the fourth quarter also feasted the eyes of basketball fans.

Invincible!

Is this the god of basketball?

When Jordan started the playoff mode in March, everyone found that Michael Jordan was still the unsolvable No. 23. As long as he wanted to attack and score, no one seemed to be able to stop him. Although the 34-year-old's athletic ability has degraded slightly compared to his peak, he can still crush 95% of the players in the league, and his skills are even more proficient.

Boston's double-teaming of Jordan has never stopped from beginning to end. Jordan seems to be facing Kobe in the air, just not passing the ball! Just come by yourself!

And he did! Destroy the team by one person! Jordan and Kobe both single-handedly ruined a team in one day.

On the other side, when the Lakers defeated the Supersonics, Kobe's 9 three-pointers in the half were also sung!

"The strongest three-pointer in history? "

"This rookie is a bit horizontal"

"The second round of the playoffs preview? Supersonic will be swept? "

Titles of other types emerge in endlessly, and with the appearance of a tape, they are finally pushed to a climax.

"Did you see what happened to Peyton?"

"I see."

"Never challenge Kobe!"

"You know what I mean? You young players may grow into All-Stars in the future, grow into the backbone of the league, and you will have a wonderful future. But you must first realize one thing, there are a few players in the league who are absolutely Those who cannot take the initiative to provoke, Kobe is the scariest one!"

"If you provoke Olajuwon, he will stun you and give you seven or eight blocks! If you provoke Jordan, he will fly over your head and dunk!"

"But you never know! What will Kobe do when he is irritated! 60 points in three quarters? 9 three-pointers in the half? You can see it! Kobe's anger is something you can't bear, at least until you become a player who surpasses Payton. Don't do this kind of thing before superstars."

This is the internal training of an unknown young team in the NBA.

When the recording of this speech was spread, the words in it were immediately written by the media journalists in the newspaper.

"Never challenge Kobe Bryant - NBA veteran coach"

This article was directly published on the headlines of the major sports sections the next day. As an endorsement of Kobe's 9 three-pointers in the half, the Lakers and Kobe once again became the most watched existence in the league's spotlight.

With the fermentation of the media, Kobe's limelight temporarily overwhelmed Karl Malone, who won the best player of the month and led the team to 13 wins and one loss in a single month, and overwhelmed Jordan, who scored 58 points and 17 points in a single quarter.

At this time, Kobe also received a call.

"Are you back?" Nelson's call came from the first time Kobe returned to LA.

"came back."

"Okay, the limelight is in full swing recently, let's use this limelight to promote your movie. I don't want my first film as a producer to hit the street!"

"Don't worry, Jack. Have some faith in our movie."

"I would be satisfied if I can reach the box office of 10 million!"

"10 million? Jack, are you kidding me? This year's U.S. box office will exceed 100 million."

"Hey, brat, you don't understand movies at all! Do you know that there are only a few movies with a box office of over 100 million in a year? I have been an actor for so many years, and I can count the movies with a box office of over 100 million with one hand."

Kobe smiled, saying nothing.
