My Name is Kobe Bryant

"Fuck." Michael Jordan took a deep breath and sat up from the big bed in his luxurious villa in Chicago.

The neon lights of Chicago flash in the early morning, and countless dark things are happening at night in this sin city.

Basketball god Michael Jordan wasn't the only one to wake up in the middle of the night.

Scottie Pippen, Dennis Rodman, Phil Jackson.

This night is destined to be restless!

Even general manager Krause, who wanted to break up the Bulls, couldn't sleep well.

Lost!

Lost the game against the Lakers again!

This is the second loss to the Lakers this season and the last game against the Lakers in the regular season.

In the first game, Jordan scored 57 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals, 1 block and 2 turnovers.

Kobe scored 63 points, 5 rebounds, 8 assists, 3 steals and 4 turnovers.

In the second game, Jordan scored 46 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals, 2 blocks and 0 turnovers.

Kobe scored 49 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists, 4 steals, 0 blocks and 2 turnovers.

Looking at the data alone, apart from being slightly inferior in total points, Jordan did not lose to Kobe.

The difference of a few points is negligible for this top player.

Many times on the court, Jordan can still suppress Kobe.

Especially in the second game, Jordan had already pushed Kobe and the Lakers to a desperate situation!

And what about the competition?

Even after Pippen returned and the Bulls returned to their peak form, they still lost to Kobe.

Even though he was pushed into a desperate situation, Kobe still won the game in his own way.

Losing is not terrible, but the way of losing is terrible.

The way Kobe won the game was really unacceptable to Jordan and made him wake up from his sleep!

The image of him turning around and celebrating without looking at the ball always echoes in Jordan's mind.

first!

The top pressing king in the NBA! Michael Jordan felt shocked for the first time!

Even Michael Jordan, the god of basketball, was so shocked by Kobe's goal! Not to mention the other Bulls players!

The mentality of the Bulls players will inevitably be affected, and the team's chemical reaction, tacit understanding, and self-confidence will all suffer a serious blow!

Michael Jordan took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

must! We must re-establish an invincible belief!

No faith! There is no such thing as an invincible team!

If you don't believe that you are the strongest! Then you will never reach the top!

Not only yourself, but the entire Bulls team must establish a belief!

See you at the All-Star Game, Kobe.

Kobe turned around, raised his hands high, and looked directly at Jordan Pippen. The scene of the basketball falling into the net in the shocked eyes of Jordan and Pippen became the most exciting scene of the NBA year.

"Invincible heart! Kobe has the strongest belief! He firmly believes that he is the strongest! So he is the strongest!"

——Magic Johnson

"This buzzer-beater reminds me of Larry Bird, pointing at his opponent and telling him to hit the buzzer-beater here. This is so fucking pretentious! But I like it! Hahahahahahahahahaha!"

——Isaiah Thomas, The Smiling Assassin.

"This is the first time Michael and Scottie have shown such expressions. Kobe's shot shattered all the Bulls' championship beliefs!"

——Cardinal Auerbach

"The most domineering buzzer beater in the history of basketball! Who can beat the God of Basketball, shake Pippen away, and celebrate his buzzer beater without even watching the ball? Only Kobe!"

——Shark O'Neal

"Well, it was just a lucky shot. There is nothing to say. There are countless shots like this in the NBA. This time, Kobe was just luckier."

——Dennis Rodman

"Phil's defensive tactics are well laid out, and the Bulls players' execution ability is also very strong, but Kobe is no longer a player that tactics can limit."

——Doug Collins

"Maybe Krause's decision to rebuild is the right choice. Will Kobe dismantle this Bulls? Who knows?"

——Larry Bird

Celebrities!

Players!

Management!

This one kill blew up countless big fish!

Never has a player had such confidence!

There has never been a player who believed that his buzzer beater was going to hit.

"Cool! So handsome! I want to learn this trick too!"

"Gan! I will do this at the critical moment of the next game!"

Kobe's popularity is already very popular in the United States, and such a game and such a buzzer-beater have promoted a wave of enthusiasm for learning from Kobe!

Fallback jump shot!

Fallback three-pointer!

Celebrate without a ball!

Amid the scoldings from basketball coaches, 1998 entered February, halfway through the season.

The NBA's January Player of the Month was not given to the Lakers, nor to Jordan.

Although the Lakers won 34 games in January and Kobe Bryant scored 81 points and a five-double, it is undeniable that the Lakers lost 4 games in January.

January's Best of the Month fell to the head of the Utah Jazz and the league's number one power forward, Karl Malone.

When the Bulls and Lakers were fighting, the Utah Jazz quietly played an excellent record of 10 wins and 1 loss.

Karl Malone averaged 36.5 minutes per game, scoring 31.2 points, 10.5 rebounds, 7.8 assists, 1.1 steals, 0.8 blocks and 2.8 turnovers with a 56% shooting rate.

"Thank you everyone! I feel honored to receive the Best of the Month award again! Many people only focus on the games in Los Angeles and Chicago. If you look at our games, you will find that the Jazz are a team that can beat anyone!" Karl Malone told reporters There were smiles from ear to ear at the press conference. This month’s best product can be said to be a perfect example of the snipe and the clam competing for the fisherman’s profit.

At the same time as the Best of the Month was announced, the specific All-Star substitute lineup was also announced in the selection of coaches.

Western Conference Substitutes: Eddie Jones, David Robinson, John Stockton, Vin Baker, Mitch Richmond, Tim Duncan, Jason Kidd

Eastern Substitutes: Glenn Rice, Reggie Miller, Steve Smith, Alonzo Mourning, Tim Hardaway, Antoine Walker, Allen Iverson

"I lost to the All-Star Game?" Patrick Ewing couldn't believe his eyes.

The No. 1 center in the Eastern Conference! Last year's All-Star starting center! One of the four major centers! The super center who defeated Mourning in the playoffs last year actually failed to be selected as an All-Star this season?

And Ewing clearly knows that at his age, failing to be selected for the All-Star Game means that there is almost no time to return to the All-Star Game.

It also means that his own time has passed.

"Congratulations Eddie!"

Eddie Jones, the third leader of the Lakers, does not have outstanding statistics among All-Star players. However, relying on his team's excellent record, he has been recognized by the league coaches and made the All-Star.

move!

If Eddie Jones was thinking at this time, it was touching!

"Tim Duncan is also an All-Star?" O'Neal looked in disbelief.

"Allen became the second player of the 1996 golden generation to enter the All-Stars." Kobe smiled slightly. Iverson was a level better than he was at this time in his previous life.
