My Name is Kobe Bryant

Bryant spent a few days of pleasant vacation in Philadelphia, and then set off for Phoenix. Of course, he has not been idle these days, training and researching videos are daily routines. A day without training is not a complete day. This is the truth Kobe believes in. Unless the body really needs to be recuperated, he will listen to his body's needs and stop to cultivate.

Kobe has watched every video of the Suns after the trade in the past few days. He found that the backcourt lineup composed of three Hall of Fame-level players in the Suns is a bit exaggerated. Often at the beginning of the game, Jason Kidd will hold the ball first and organize the team to play a few times. If the effect is good, he will keep playing the team rhythm. If the effect is not good, Kevin Johnson will stand up and use his breakthrough and killing ability to give the team Create opportunities.

And Nash learned quickly from the two ball-handling masters. His progress is obvious. While maintaining an excellent shooting touch, his organizational ability and breakthrough ability have improved a lot. Currently, he leads the Suns to play very well off the bench. With his performance, I believe that if he continues like this, he will soon grow into a top sixth man.

There is no doubt that Nash can become the two consecutive MVPs of later generations. This experience of learning from two Hall of Fame point guards with different styles is indispensable. Nash is like a sponge, eagerly absorbing the advantages of these two legendary guards, and combining them with his own physical skills, he will eventually create a legend of his own.

The Suns also need to pay attention to one point, that is, Cedric Ceballos, who was traded from the Lakers, spent the first 4 years of his career in Phoenix. After returning to the Suns, he adapted very quickly. With the ball fed by a Tang-level defender, he quickly recovered his peak strength and returned to the All-Star striker. In the past ten games, he averaged 21.3 points and 6.7 rebounds per game. Before this game, he had already said in the media that he must give the Lakers a good look.

"Revenge? I don't think I have anything against the Lakers. They sent me back to Phoenix, my favorite place."

"As a Phoenix player, it's my job to beat opponents, and I will crush the Los Angeles Lakers mercilessly, not because they regret it, but because it's what I should do."

"Kobe's performance? That's it. I think Allen Iverson plays more beautifully. Kobe is too utilitarian. Such a player can't go far!"

This is after Phoenix's victory over the Denver Nuggets, Ceballos scored 27 points in this game. Everyone can see that Ceballos is dissatisfied with his old owner, the Los Angeles Lakers. The year before, he was the team's number one leader and led the team to 53 wins! In the second year, he was DNP within a few games at the beginning of the season! Then trade away immediately.

This kind of treatment for the head of the team is rare, and there has never been a big head in history who has been so unpopular with the team.

Ceballos will not find his own reasons. He never mentions his absence from training, his oversized body, and his poor state. He believes that as a team leader, he is fully qualified to do so.

But Jerry West, cannot tolerate the existence of such a player. Not only is it a cancer in the locker room, but this player also conflicts with the style of the team's second-in-command.

There is no way around this, and the decisive thing is to change. The media thinks that the Lakers traded Ceballos for Horry to be a loss-making deal, but West and Kobe felt that they had made a lot of money.

Using a locker room tumor in exchange for a historical-level role player, if such a deal is a loss, then West is willing to suffer losses every day.

Horry used his performance on the field to prove his excellence. He acted as the sixth man of the Lakers, organized offense and defense, and led the Lakers off the bench, becoming the league's top bench lineup. Especially at a certain moment, it can form a deadly offensive lineup that shoots all over the place. The efficiency of this offensive lineup has been the best offensive system in history.

It even hit a fatal key shot at the decisive moment with the Bulls. Without that key shot, the Lakers would probably lose!

The excellent relationship between Horry and Kobe also made him very happy to get along with the players in the locker room. Although the players didn't say it, they all knew in their hearts that this was the person Kobe asked for in exchange!

And Kobe, with his performance, gained the respect of everyone on the team.

Even if you don't like Kobe, Kobe's performance on the court is undoubtedly great, and the Lakers' victory is inseparable from Kobe.

So this game between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Phoenix Suns has a lot to watch.

Kobe arrived in Phoenix and quickly joined the team. They set off for the West American arena together. Judging from the interior decoration and the practicality of the facilities, this is considered to be an upper-middle arena in the league. Glass windows and TV screen walls are the most impressive features of this arena.

Especially on the festive day of Christmas, small objects full of Christmas elements are placed all over the arena, and team staff also dress up as traditional style characters such as Santa Claus and elves to highlight the Christmas atmosphere.

Before the opening, Kobe was stunned. Phoenix actually invited the popular singer Brandy Norwood, yes, the same Brandy who Kobe refused to attend the dance together.

Speaking of this matter, it is really Kobe's fault.

Turning the time back to May 1996, Kobe took out a youth magazine, pointed to the photo of Brandy on it and said: "I want to take this girl to the prom." At that time, Kobe's classmates responded: "You Crazy!"

Bryant then tried to get in touch with Brandy, who rose to fame after appearing as a girl on the ABC sitcom Thea in 1995, and then, after releasing her debut record, she entered the R\u0026B record charts in one fell swoop. Ranked sixth on the list, her song "Baby" was successfully selected for the 1996 Grammy, becoming the most dazzling new star in the American music scene and the darling of the media at this time.

Kobe's invitation, Brandy agreed!

Then turn the clock to June 1996, Kobe was reborn, and everyone knows what happened next.

Seeing Brandy again, Kobe was inevitably a little embarrassed. He really did a lot of stupid things when he was young.

Sure enough, Brandy took a deep look in Kobe's direction before singing. Then the must-have Christmas song "We Wish You A Merry Christmas" and the American national anthem were sung, and the referee blew the whistle to start the game.

The Lakers' starting lineup is still the same, and the Phoenix Suns are PG Kevin Johnson, PG Jason Kidd, SF Cedric Ceballos, PF Danny Manning and C Kevin Willis. They also sat on the bench - Steve Nash, Holt - Williams, Rex - Chapman, Wesley - Person and a group of Titans.

Bryant said hello to Nash and Kevin Johnson before the ball, and they kept in touch off the court.

Friendship belongs to friendship, basketball belongs to basketball.

Three Hall of Fame guards? Kobe intends to pick them all by himself today.
