Chapter 678: Kobe Bryant 80 (I)
The Toronto Raptors, founded in 1995, are currently the only NBA team in Canada.
This team is very young, but it has also made a lot of names.
For example, Vince, who was a "half-man and half-god". Carter, at his peak, stayed in the city, and for the Lakers, the memory of Kobe Bryant is...... 81。
This is also the first time since modern basketball has a full footage that anyone has scored more than 80 points in a single game. Chamberlain's 100 points in a single game is the most legendary number. And this is also the most commonly talked about number in the NBA.
In fact, the Raptors are on the opponent's scoring list at home, and Kobe Bryant occupies 3 of the top 10 spots, which I am afraid few people know, so Kobe Bryant is undoubtedly the "bitter hand" of the Raptors. This game was not originally scheduled to be broadcast live in the United States, but in order to cooperate with the "matchup" between Kobe Bryant and ESPN, . T TV deliberately added this one temporarily.
In order to match the "talking points" of fans across the United States.
Before the game, Buckle and Kenny were in the same position. Smith argued.
"Charles? Do you really think Kobe Bryant can average 40 points per game? It's not a joke, is it? Didn't Michael do it well? "Kenny. Smith said: "I know Kobe Bryant averaged 40+ points per game last month, but this month's average points per game can't even rank in the top two of his own monthly points per game!" Don't you forget, Kobe Bryant averaged 40+ per game twice in the 05-06 season, and in the end? Isn't it only 35+ per game? So with an average of 40+ per game, I don't think it's possible! ”
"Kenny, forget it, Kobe Bryant won 40+ months twice in the 05-06 season, but you have to see, he didn't shoot crazy at the beginning, scored like crazy, and played tandem basketball many times, if you deduct these and deduct the garbage time to get off the court early, I think he can exceed the average of 37+ per game that season, absolutely no problem! Although I think Michael is better than Kobe, it is not reflected in the peak scoring side, Kobe. If Bryant lets go of the brush, he will definitely score more explosively than Michael! There is no doubt about this! Barkley said: "If he leads the team by himself at the beginning, I think he will have to brush up at least 40,000 points in his career, and it is too late to lead the team, and he already has to take into account the pressure of the record and the championship, which is not a matter at all when he first joined the league!" ”
"He's 35 now, and he's past that time, and he's going to have to stop when the time comes, and it's impossible to score like this again."
"No, no, no, you look at the Lakers' current roster." Charles. Barkley said: "It's just rotten, if it weren't for the hot, it's even worse than his 05-06 season." And the hot attack ability is limited, who will shoot if he doesn't shoot? This can be regarded as an objective advantage! If it was still last year's F4, he would definitely not have this opportunity. ”
"Well, without talking about that, how many points do you think Kobe Bryant will score tonight?" Kenny. Smith said: "He's against ESPN, and tonight's game, even Las Vegas has a temporary game." "I think it's at least 50 points." Charles. Barkley said: "Kobe's state this year is terrifyingly good, like Wilkins that year, after his comeback, he is even more vigorous than before the injury, this is really more popular than people!" ”
"Indeed." Kenny. Smith also nodded and said: "At present, his shooting rate is over 48%, which is already incredible in Kobe's shooting efficiency, after all, you know, he likes that kind of wave shot, pot shot, blind shot." "Charles. Barkley said: "That's because Kobe Bryant's dunks have increased a lot this season, you see, he is currently averaging close to 3+ dunks per game, who was the last person to play like this, the answer is my old teammate, Julius. Irving. ”
"I don't know where he got the motivation, I watch him play now, and I feel that he has fire in his body."
"Who knows." Barkley said: "Maybe something happened, maybe it was the people at ESPN who angered him, there are so many reasons, sometimes a person's outburst doesn't even need too many reasons." "I just don't know if his body can hold it." Kenny. Smith Road.
"It's Kobe Bryant's own business. When Wilkins came back, the outside world said the same, but he still did it, maybe the Lakers' No. 24 is also the plan. ”
"That's a game for the Torontonians, Charles."
"yes." Barkley said bluntly: "It's bad luck. ”
At the Staples Center, players from both sides begin their pre-match warm-ups.
"Bryant, how many points are you going to score in this game?" Tang Qian was also interested, and he wanted to ask.
Bryant glanced at it and replied, "The more the merrier!" I'm going to scare these goddamn ESPN expert reporters! ”
What a powerful anger and resentment! It seems that Kobe and ESPN are on the same page, and it is impossible to dissipate before retirement!
"That's good." Tang Qian said: "I discussed it with the whole team, we will help you make the ball, anyway, this Raptors are not strong......"
But before he finished speaking, Kobe Bryant shook his head and refused: "No, it's hot, I'm going to get it myself, you just play at your own pace, I never deliberately brush up the score." "That's right, 81 points are a big reversal, 62 points didn't even go on in the fourth quarter, plus there were 4 good 3 quarters of 50+, and the fourth quarter didn't play, so this sentence is not a joke, it's not pretending to be high.
Otherwise, in the 01-02 season, Kobe Bryant scored 56 points in the third quarter against the Grizzlies, and even if he was an iron dog in the fourth quarter, he would have been 60+, but he just didn't play, so Kobe Bryant may have an obsession with high scores, but for brushing points, basically no.
Tang Qian smiled and nodded: "That's good, if you don't feel good tonight, I'm not welcome, just brush up on rebounding data." Kobe Bryant glared and said, "Don't worry, I won't give you this chance, I already feel it, I'm in just right shape tonight, and my hand is hot." ”
Kobe Bryant said so, but he didn't feel good in the first quarter, he missed all three shots, and even included a dunk dunk, 2 of 10 shots in a single quarter, which is estimated to be Kobe's worst first quarter this season. DeRozan did well, scoring 12 points in the first quarter and a terrifying 2-pointer.
The Lakers were also in poor shape because of Kobe Bryant's slump, scoring 16 points in a single quarter, far less than the Raptors' 30 points in a single quarter.
Raptors commentator Matt. Dvelin laughed and said that the Lakers No. 24 is estimated to score less than 30 points tonight.
This is definitely a disservice, the rhythm of death, listening to this joke during the break, Tang Qian clearly found that Kobe Bryant was angry, and the whole person instantly entered "The.Zone".
I'll go and give him an energy pack, alas, stupid, this is really invincible!
Tang Qian grabbed several more frontcourt rebounds in the first quarter because the Lakers didn't have a high shooting percentage, but obviously, it won't go so smoothly later.
Lowry of the Raptors had just dribbled through the halfcourt, and suddenly found that the bottom of his hand was cold, and when he realized that something was wrong, a purple-gold figure had already slapped his horse and swept past him, and the speed made him unable to pursue.
Kobe Bryant's single fast break, the windmill dunk is over!
The Staples Center doesn't know how long it has been since I've seen Kobe do a big windmill dunk, and I suddenly rekindled my enthusiasm.
However, because Tang Qian's bench time in the second quarter was generally on the bench, the Raptors were not polite, taking advantage of the Lakers' empty interior line, they attacked many times in a row, causing Jordan. Hill and Wren. Kelly's killing.
So the trend in the second quarter is that the Lakers Kobe Bryant scores, the Raptors score at the No. 1 position, the Lakers Kobe Bryant scores, the Raptors score at the No. 2 position, the Lakers Kobe scores, the Raptors score at the No. 3 position, the Lakers Kobe Bryant scores, the Raptors score at the No. 4 position, the Lakers Kobe Bryant scores, and the Raptors score at the No. 5 position. In this way, Kobe Bryant really almost covered 80% of the Lakers' shots in the second quarter, shooting more than 50% from the field and scoring 28 points, but he still couldn't close the score gap with the Raptors.
The Lakers scored 50 points at halftime, the Raptors scored 65 points, and the opponent led by 15 points and went into the locker room.
Kobe Bryant only scored 32 points in the first half because of a bad hand in the first quarter, which is not terrible for this season.
However, after Tang Qian returned to the court in the third quarter, the Lakers began to exert their strength, the Raptors' interior attack was blocked, Kobe Bryant stood up again, he still didn't feel particularly good, but he relied on free throws to score 15 points in a single quarter, plus 5 points in the sports battle, 20 points in a single quarter, and helped the Lakers get more than half of the points in the third quarter. At the moment, Kobe Bryant has scored 52 points, which is normal.
If the Raptors give up at this time, it doesn't matter, the Lakers can also remove the lineup and let Kobe Bryant clock out early.
But it's not a coincidence, the Raptors' No. 2 position, Demar. DeRozan also entered "The.Zone" and hit back-to-back pick-and-rolls to give the Raptors the lead into the fourth quarter.
Before the start of the fourth quarter, the Lakers scored 75 points and the Raptors scored 83 points, leading the Lakers by 8 points, which made the fans on the scene see the hope of winning. In fact, Toronto fans especially don't want Kobe Bryant to score high points again, otherwise the Raptors will be remembered by history again, and it is also the type of negative teaching material.
Kobe Bryant threw 2 three-pointers in the fourth quarter, but unfortunately they were all missing, and the Raptors seized the opportunity and scored 2 defensive counterattacks.
75-87, the lead score went into 2 digits.
DeRozan is also currently scoring 35 points, and it seems that he is in good shape.
But at this time, DeRozan did a very wrong act.
Although he himself believes that he has not done anything wrong.
