My Name is Kobe Bryant

After the Lakers defeated the Spurs, they returned to Los Angeles and ushered in a four-day game-free day.

As soon as Kobe got off the plane and was about to go find Vanessa, Pelinka's phone rang.

"There may be multiple transactions happening recently." Pelinka has heard a lot of news, some true and some false. But it is undeniable that the entire league is adjusting and changing because of Kobe's dominance!

This year's 14-game winning streak is much easier than last year's winning streak!

O'Neal is just out of shape this year.

Last year, O'Neal was injured midway through his winning streak.

A large number of games last year were suspenseful, and if there was an oversight in many games, the outcome of the game would be very different. Kobe's key ball forced the team to move forward.

This year, Kobe averaged 50+ per game, making the game easier.

What is the concept of averaging 50+ per game?

In such a slow-paced game, all teams in the league this year averaged only 95.2 points per game!

Kobe alone can score more than half of the points of an ordinary team!

A player who averages 5 points per game can earn a minimum salary in the National Men's Basketball League, the highest palace in basketball.

With an average of 10 points per game, you are the main rotation member of a team and can easily earn millions a year.

Averaging 15 points per game, this kind of player will be known to everyone, his style of play, and a large number of fans will know you.

Averaging 20 points per game, he can almost be called a star player! You are the mainstay of the NBA! In this era of exploding salaries, if you can contribute 20+ steadily, then you are worth a 100 million yuan contract!

Averaging 25 points per game can be called the watershed of superstars. A star without 25+ points is not necessarily a superstar, but in such a defensive-oriented, slow-paced era, as long as you can average 25+ points per game, then you must be a superstar!

Currently, there are only ten players in the league who are capable of averaging 25+ per game!

Averaging 30+ per game, such a player can be called a phenomenal player. It is very rare in history. This kind of player must be the master of an era. If he does not have a cancerous style of play that can only increase points, it is difficult for people to understand that this kind of player does not win the championship.

Average 35+ per game? In the era of data explosion in 2021, there are only 9 times in history.

Chamberlain did it five times! ! !

Jordan completed it twice, with 35 points and 37.1 points respectively!

Rick Barry averaged 35.6 points per game and won once. In that year's Finals, he played six games with the 76ers led by Wilt Chamberlain. Barry scored 55 points in a single game. Throughout the Finals, Barry's average per game The score is 40.8 points.

Harden once, in the 2018-19 season Harden scored 36.1 points, 6.6 rebounds, 7.5 assists, 2.0 steals, 0.7 blocks, and 5.0 turnovers.

Kobe once, in the 05-06 season, Kobe Bryant averaged 35.4 points, 5.3 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 1.8 steals, 0.4 blocks, and 3.1 turnovers per game.

Then there was none.

Every 35-point season is a legend! It’s all a feast for the fans!

35 points, that kind of explosive score, even countless years later, when someone mentions it, it will still make people feel like they took a sip of ice wine in the summer, and it will make people feel angry! ! !

Average 40+ per game?

Average 50+ per game?

Only Chamberlain has completed it.

In his third season, Chamberlain averaged 50.4 points and 25.7 rebounds per game.

In his fourth season, he scored 44.8 points and 24.3 rebounds.

Kobe's performance in the first month of this season was exactly the same as Chamberlain's dominance back then!

No wonder the Basketball Emperor said that Kobe was the player most like him. He knew two years ago that only Kobe could possibly break his scoring record!

Under Kobe's crazy performance, other teams that are determined to win the championship, or want to play an excellent record and divert Kobe's popularity, have begun to strengthen!

Must be strengthened!

In such a new era, almost all non-rebuilding teams are making reinforcements!

No one is willing to let Kobe stand out!

Chamberlain is stronger! Aren’t there only 2 champions?

Just reinforce it! Build the strongest team and defeat such a big devil, Kobe, and the honor you will receive will be comparable to that of Russell, the King of the Ring!

"I heard from Tracy that their team is going to change recently." Kobe also smiled slightly.

Cardinal Auerbach was unwilling to give up such a good opportunity.

They selected a shooting guard like Larry Hughes with the 10th pick this summer, making the team's configuration increasingly top-heavy.

McGrady, Hughes, Van Horn, Fathead, Tyrese Knight.

No matter how you look at this lineup, it is abnormal. Except for Tracy McGrady's defense, the rest are all defensive black holes that can be penetrated with a poke.

"I've also heard about this. They are negotiating a deal with the Raptors."

"With the Raptors?" Kobe was surprised, maybe McGrady was going to that ice and snow place again.

"Yes, the guard Bibby the Raptors selected this year is playing well. They seem to be preparing to build a team around Bibby."

"Little Momonga and Canby will be cleared away."

"Maybe. Camby has only played two seasons, but he made it clear that he will not renew his contract with the Raptors. He hates living abroad. So taking advantage of this guy's high transaction value, the Raptors are ready to He will replace it."

"It's probably not just Boston that's interested in Camby."

"Yes, there is news from North Carolina as well."

Pelinka was a little helpless.

The momentum of the Lakers this year is very obvious. If other teams do not change, the Lakers will almost definitely win the championship without injuries.

The Lakers and Kobe Bryant's dominance this season is extremely rare in history.

Everyone started trading like crazy against the Lakers, and there was nothing that could be done about it.

"Do we have a chance to continue to strengthen?" Old Bass heard the recent crazy trading rumors and hurriedly called West.

"BOSS, let me try."

West smiled bitterly.

The first reason why it is difficult for the Lakers to strengthen - almost all teams are now targeting the Lakers. No one wants to see the rise of an undefeated dynasty. All team owners and general managers are trying to find ways to give the Lakers a chance. A stumbling block!

Even the league executives, they almost came up with a NO HAND CHECK in the off-season to eliminate Kobe's defensive dominance. Although it was vetoed by Stern, it is hard to say when it will become a reality.

What they want to see is a NBA where all the heroes come together, rather than Kobe O'Neal dominating the league internally and externally.

The second reason is that the Lakers' lineup is already very stable, at least this season. From starters to substitutes, from guards to forwards to the interior, there are almost no major problems.

The only problem may be the power forward, but this is an old problem for the Lakers.

Almost every power forward was a big hit against the Lakers!

This is still a bit of a headache.

West has been looking for candidates, but it is too difficult to find a power forward that perfectly matches the Lakers' lineup.

perhaps

That guy from Washington, a player who has worked with the Sharks, could be considered?
