My Name is Kobe Bryant

On April 6, 1997, the Lakers played three consecutive home games against the Dallas Mavericks at the Great Western Forum.

This is O'Neal's second game since his return.

Under the legendary jerseys hanging high above the Great Western Forum, the Lakers once again brought fans an extremely amazing game.

The existence of the OK combination, at the beginning of the season, O is the main player, and K is the auxiliary. And when O'Neal was injured for two months, Kobe's body was enough for him to perform 90% of his technical moves at his peak! Kobe's face-to-face singles skills can be fully utilized, except for some back-up skills that rely on weight and strength. After a season of training, Kobe has fully adapted to his young body.

Peak Kobe! But the only existence of the alliance! In the two seasons from 2005 to 2007, Kobe was isolated and helpless, and when he carried the team alone, he averaged more than 11 face-to-face singles per game! 81 points that season more than 12 times! Even more frightening, in the 06-07 season, Kobe averaged more than 11 face-to-face singles per game, scoring 1.08 points each time! In the 06-07 season, Kobe's face-up singles accounted for 38.4% of all offenses! Post-up singles are 8.3%, with a total of 46.7%.

What kind of concept is this? Half of Kobe's offense at his peak were face-ups! And the most difficult face-to-face one-on-one is actually the most efficient way for him to play!

The 2019 championship winner, the first wing singled out Leonard's face-to-frame singles ratio of 17.6%, scoring 0.95 points per round.

The league's singles king Owen's face-to-frame singles ratio is 21.4%.

The Chosen One LeBron James' singles ratio is 20.3%.

Harden, the first post-Kobe shooting guard, is 23.7%.

Anthony is 23.1%.

It can be said that Kobe's face-to-face singles ability is epoch-making! Whether it is output or quantity.

The face frame includes three ways to handle the ball, projection, breakthrough, and pass.

In terms of shooting alone, Kobe's skills in difficult shots are even better than Michael Jordan's. His technique wobbles enough times to make opposing defenders dance like marionettes.

To break through this point, Kobe's breakthrough acceleration and absolute speed are not the best in the league. There are a lot of people in the league faster than him! But Kobe can break through!

Except for Houston, the Supersonics, and the Bulls this season, there are absolutely strong defensive teams. No team has been able to prevent Kobe's breakthrough! Kobe is very good at combining rhythm changes and sudden shots. It can be said that Kobe's breakthrough is more about technical flow than physical flow, which allows him to use his ball-handling skills before his physical fitness reaches its peak. Rhythm change to break through.

It's not that hard to pass the ball. Kobe is not the kind of team commander type passer who uses the ball to guide his teammates. He can't pass the ball like Kidd or Paul. He can't drive the team by passing the ball alone.

But he doesn't have to do it. Kobe's preferred method is to attract the opponent's attention through offense, and then distribute the ball to open players. This kind of pass is no less threatening than the ball leaders of Kidd and Paul. At the same time, the passing ability and skills required do not need to be very high. As long as the opponent's defense can be observed with excellent vision before the double-team is formed. The rotation, while passing the ball out on it.

Kobe's organizational ability this season is undoubtedly a step further than the peak, directly acting as a point guard, allowing his ability to handle the ball to be exercised and strengthened.

It can be said that in the 50-year history of the league, the only player who can be stronger than Kobe is Michael Jordan, the god of basketball.

Michael Jordan's face-up singles are more frequent than Kobe!

In the 1990-92 season, Jordan, in his first three consecutive championships, his face-to-frame singles ratio was 8% higher than Kobe's, and his back-up singles ratio was 7% higher. The total singles ratio is as high as 60%. MJ's average number of singles rounds per game is 12.6 times. Harden's singles times in the 2019-2020 season are exactly 10 times, while Kobe's singles times in the 06 season are 12.2 times.

Throughout the history of the league, only Michael Jordan's face frame can slightly suppress Kobe in terms of quantity and shooting percentage.

But that was Kobe from the previous life!

Kobe in this life will challenge Michael Jordan's dominance with a stronger body and better passing ability.

And this regular-season game against the Dallas Mavericks was a game where Kobe tried his hand at trying to dominate the offense.

"Personal show! Kobe's game seems to be a rehearsal for the game against the Jazz! He blows up the entire perimeter group of the Dallas Mavericks alone!"

"Michael Finley 6 committed field!"

"Derek Harper was shaken to the ground!"

"Woshan Leonard was beaten by Kobe Bryant!"

"Unsolvable offensive performance, following the twin stars shining in the last game, Kobe in this game proved that he alone is enough to break a team!"

"It can be clearly seen that Shaq is still looking for form! And Kobe started to feed Shaq crazy! Kobe tore up the defense, attracted 2 to 3 people to double-team, and then threw the ball to Shaq in the gap! Shaq Gram unlimited supply of baskets!"

Cool! O'Neill's current feeling is only one word-transparent!

Catch the ball without defense, and then dunk at the basket, all face and face! This is much easier than sticking your ass and arching for a long time with a strong man, and then turning around and dunking!

Kobe first used the face frame to attack the torn defense, and then fed the cake into O'Neal's mouth! Under such circumstances, it is too easy for O'Neal to score on a team of the Mavericks' level.

"Win! The Lakers easily took away the victory of this game!"

"It's too easy, the Mavericks have no ability to resist."

"Normally, this is the strength of historical teams. As long as their own state does not go wrong, it is difficult for them to lose against these teams."

At the end of the game, the Mavericks 87:112 the Lakers.

Kobe scored a game-high 27 points, 8 rebounds and 14 assists, almost scoring a large triple-double.

O'Neal played 25 minutes with 23 points, 12 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 blocks. Harris saw that the winning ticket was in his hands and let O'Neal, who had returned from injury, rest in advance.

The Gemini stars scored 50 points together again, and the storm of the OK combination has completely started. This time, they are more threatening than the Lakers at the beginning of the season, coupled with the strengthening of the bench lineup and the growth of rookies. Kobe believes that the current Lakers are fully capable of breaking the wrist with the Bulls.

The Lakers won 3 consecutive victories at home, pushing their record to 67 wins and 8 losses.

Next, they will play away against the San Francisco Warriors on April 8 and against the Utah Jazz on April 9.

Face two strong enemies back to back!

The Warriors' madmen Sprewell, Joe Smith, and Chris Mullin did not make the playoffs even this season. But they are definitely not a weak team, and a plot like a bullet killing a bull is very likely.

And the next day, I will fly to Utah immediately to face back-to-back against the second-best Jazz in the West.

The next schedule for the Lakers is very difficult!
