The Pope of Basketball Community

When Kobe came off the court, he high-fived his teammates one by one, and the Lakers fans shouted "MVP"!

Jerry Buss in the box was very excited now. "The Lakers I wanted are back."

Kupchak lamented: "I can't believe that he offset Kobe's negative influence in one game, and the fans started to support Kobe again."

Old Buss laughed and said: "I now feel that his annual salary of tens of millions is less. He is really better than Phil Jackson."

Jeanie Buss did not come to the scene today. She and Phil Jackson watched the game at home, and they both felt like they were slapped in the face. Before, they had been proposing to trade Kobe and keep O'Neal, but now Kobe's explosive scoring ability is not inferior to the "Shark".

O'Neal's career high is 61 points, which Kobe has already broken. He played 40 minutes in this game. If he played the whole game, he might have broken 70 points.

O'Neal is indeed super dominant in the low post, but he also has the weakness of poor free throw shooting; except for Kobe's small hands, poor shot selection, often getting up at four in the morning, and poor sleep, he has no obvious weaknesses in his basketball skills.

Jackson was in a daze throughout the final quarter. He had a bad premonition because he had recently published an autobiography, which said, "Kobe is the most uncoachable player." Now that Kobe has exploded, isn't it obvious that he is not as good as Yang Rui? ?

Jackson's melancholy expression is so melancholy that it could be included in Chrissy Chang's MV. We can never go back, right...

137 to 119, the Lakers got off to a good start.

Yao Ming only scored 2 points in the final quarter. He played 21 minutes and scored 16 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 blocks.

Rasheed Wallace played 30 minutes, hit three three-pointers, 17 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists.

Odom played 29 minutes and had 12 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists.

Mo Williams scored 10 points and 4 assists.

While Kobe scored a record-breaking score, five people on the team scored in double figures, which is amazing.

Zhang Lili lamented: "The Lakers have never played a game at this pace before. If they play like this for a whole season, Kobe will definitely win the scoring title again, and his scoring will hit a career high."

Yu Jia laughed and said: "Yao Ming scored a double-double without much effort. If he is given enough playing time, he may really become a 20+10 center."

Several Nuggets players had bad expressions on their faces when they left the court. No one wanted to be the backdrop for their opponent's record, especially Hamilton, who was in too much pain. This is not the first time he has been abused by Kobe. When he was with the Wizards, he was also the main defender when Kobe scored 55 points.

Yang Rui returned to the locker room with Kobe Bryant and asked with a smile: "How was it? Did you feel good today?"

"Of course. Thank you." Kobe smiled.

"When you encounter a team that doesn't have a perimeter defensive expert, you just play like this and don't worry about anything else. When you encounter a team that has defensive experts like the Grizzlies and Spurs, you just cooperate more with your teammates to ensure your shooting percentage. This is how you wait for the season. At the end, your scoring data will be very high, and the team's record will not be bad." Yang Rui whispered.

"I will pay attention."

"Pass the ball to Yao Mingduo at the end of the game. He is the core when playing against the Knicks. Help him build confidence as soon as possible." Yang Rui said with a smile.

"No problem." Kobe agreed happily.

"Go take a shower and go to the press conference later. Keep a low profile." Yang Rui patted Kobe on the back.

It is suspected of cheating and is not suitable for high profile.

The Nuggets have obvious defensive weaknesses. They made it to the second round of the playoffs last season because their opponent, the Mavericks, had a worse defense.

This year's Nuggets lineup is slightly weaker, but if they can make the playoffs, they won't go too far.

In Yang Rui's previous life, the Nuggets' perimeter defense had been very poor. It wasn't until Iverson was sent away and Billups was traded that things improved a little. No. 2 JR Smith and Deng Tai Jones teamed up to reach the Western Conference Finals and lost. Lakers.

At the press conference, Kobe didn't improve his score much and praised Yang Rui.

"During training camp, Jerry told me that he would arrange tactics to help me bring out my full potential. I feel great now.

I never had the chance to play like this before. "Kobe smiled.

The reporter asked: "Jackson published an autobiography and wrote about the conflict between you and O'Neal. He also said that you cannot be coached and that there is very little trust between you. He even hired a psychologist for himself. That People at L.A. Public University specialize in studying narcissistic behavior, what do you think?”?

The narcissistic Kobe certainly wanted to tear Jackson apart, or treat Jackson to a bun filled with explosives and kill him with just one bite. But Kobe was in a good mood today, so he didn't express these true thoughts.

"I haven't read that book, and I don't care what he writes. As long as Jerry trusts me, that's enough. I will listen to him in everything."

The reporters took photos together, it was big news.

Some Los Angeles reporters found it incredible. In the summer, many people believed that Yang Rui would have difficulty controlling Kobe Bryant and that his arrogant and unsociable character would become an obstacle to the success of the Lakers. As a result, as soon as the regular season began, the two eliminated all doubts.

Actually this is normal. Kobe didn't have three consecutive championships, no MVP, just two scoring champions, and he even led the team to win the No. 8 pick last season. How could he be so crazy under such circumstances? Looking for a squirt?

Yang Rui was interviewed and spoke highly of Kobe. "His personal ability is very strong and he is the strongest among the four shooting guards. I have coached Carter and Tracy McGrady, and no one knows this better than me."

The reporter asked: "What do you think makes Kobe better than the other three?"

"The first is defense. The defense of the other three is not as good as Kobe's. The second is physical fitness. He can still be vigorous and vigorous after playing 40 minutes. This is the quality of becoming a superstar. He can still maintain his offensive power in the final quarter."

The reporter asked: "Who do you think is better, O'Neal or Kobe?"

"O'Neal was better before, but now Kobe is better." Yang Rui replied.

The reporter asked: "Why?"

Yang Rui smiled and said: "Because I don't coach O'Neal, if the Lakers play the Heat in the finals, the Lakers will definitely win. Everyone knows that I like to chop sharks the most."

Several reporters rolled their eyes at the same time. What do you like most about hacking sharks? You are clearly the one who likes to boast!

The next day, the Lakers made the headlines of many sports news and received far more attention than the defending champion Spurs. In the first game, the Spurs defeated the Grizzlies, the powerhouse in the same region, 101 to 95, but they could only occupy a small page in the news.

On the Internet, fans even collectively discussed the Lakers game. Kobe Bryant's goals in the first game were highlighted as a highlight, which was so powerful and domineering that it attracted everyone's attention.

In terms of attracting fans, Duncan can't compare with Kobe at all. Not many fans like to watch his tasteless turnaround throws and rebound shots, even though Duncan also had a highlight performance of 53 points in a single game.

The root of the NBA is the star economy. Stars are the most important part of a team. Even if Yang Rui boasts about himself when he has the opportunity, he must admit this.

When fans like a team, their starting point is definitely not to watch the coach. Just like Yang Rui has won many championships before, only a small number of Chinese fans support him. It is different when Yao Ming joins the Lakers. Almost all Chinese fans support the Lakers.

The NBA is different from football games. Football is a team culture. Stars change one after another, but some fans still support Manchester United, Real Madrid and Milan.

The NBA is not good. The stars are greater than the team. After Jordan left the Bulls, how many people still paid attention to the Bulls? If Iverson leaves the 76ers, who will pay attention to the 76ers? Yao Ming left the Knicks, and Chinese fans hope that the Knicks will be finished as soon as possible.

In the same way, without Kobe, the Lakers would not be the team that people love.
