In the past seven years, although Kobe Bryant has also tried to lead the team in O'Neal's absence, it is incomparable to the feeling of not having O'Neal around at all, there will never be a shark swimming around, and finally no one is pressing him.

Kobe Bryant felt much easier to breathe after he came on the court, and looked at these new teammates around him, Atkins, Caron Butler, Odom, and Mime, all of whom felt very pleasing to the eye, although they didn't know what they could do with them.

The new coach is not bad, hmph, Phil Jackson dared to publish a book to accuse me, it is really too much, Rudy Tomjanovic is much easier to get along with than the Zen master guy.

Tomjanovic is also a championship coach, he led the Houston Rockets to the NBA championship twice in the 93-94 and 94-95 seasons, and also led the U.S. men's basketball team to the gold medal in the 2000 Olympic Games, which seems to be much better than Larry Brown and Popovich, who just lost to Athens, of course, Horry has also said that Tomjanovic is a better coach than Phil Jackson and Popovich.

Kobe Bryant liked what Tom Janovic said, and I believe there is no one in the NBA who doesn't know: "Never underestimate the heart of a champion!" ”

Tomjanovic is also Yao Ming's mentor when he first entered the NBA, he can get along happily with every star under him, whether it is Olajuwon or someone else, after coming to the Lakers, he also believes that he can get along well with Kobe Bryant and Sun Zhuo, but his health problems are a big hidden danger, he had to leave the team due to illness last year, in his previous life, Tomjanovic also only coached 41 games, and resigned as the head coach of the Lakers due to health problems.

Tomjanovic looked at the opponent on the court, stood on the sidelines in a suit, put his hands on his chest, and thought: "The Denver Nuggets entered the playoffs last season, and they are not completely powerless to fight back against the Timberwolves, who have the best record in the West, and even beat the Timberwolves in one of them, Carmelo Anthony will mature this season." ”

The Lakers' first opponent in the regular season was not a fish belly team, although it was not much stronger, but at least last season it entered the playoffs, and Rudy still wanted to get off to a good start with the Lakers, but unfortunately Sun Zhuo was not there, which made the new coach a little disappointed.

"Sun and Kobe seem to have made some agreement privately, in the first two games, Sun did not participate, let Kobe lead the team to play, and then replaced Kobe Bryant in absence, Sun to lead, if the two of them can divide a result in this way, it will save my effort, I am afraid that I will not be able to distinguish the result." Tomjanovic was melancholy, and every new coach who came to a team with a superstar would have such troubles.

The current Lakers, the biggest storm has passed, if he is allowed to be the Lakers coach last season, Tomjanovic is expected to have more headaches.

After the game started, there was no O'Neal on the court, and there was no Sun Zhuo, Kobe Bryant was the boss of the same, he could have taken all the offense, but he didn't do it, on the contrary, he didn't want to score goals at all, but kept leading everyone to score, to be a Magic Johnson-like role.

"Damn, everybody is accusing me of being selfish, saying I'm at odds with my teammates, and this season, I'm going to have to show you that I'm selfless, all-rounder, and I'm going to be a real leader, not just a scorer!"

Frankly speaking, Kobe Bryant wants to become the scoring champion this season, it is very easy, and the last scoring champion this season is Iverson, of course, Iverson's average score of 30.69 points per game is indeed very high, but Kobe Bryant can't grab it if he wants to grab it? The next year, Kobe Bryant averaged 35.4 points per game to win the scoring title!

Kobe Bryant wants to win the Nuggets without relying on his own strength, so that everyone can see his side as a leader, Caron Butler and Odom are also strong teammates, but the Nuggets are not weak, they have Anthony, and this season they also transferred Kenyon Martin and Marcus Camby, in the case of Kobe Bryant's no special play, the scores of the two sides have been biting, and even the Nuggets occasionally lead.

"Damn, the Nuggets defense is better than last season." Kobe Bryant thought that he could crush the opponent with his teammates, but last season's Nuggets defense was terrible, and this season with Martin is indeed a bit different.

Kobe Bryant is a little anxious, today he is leading the team without Sun Zhuo, and he must win, otherwise, how can he make Sun Zhuo surrender to him?

So in the second half, Kobe Bryant began to play individually, and after a burst of wild shooting, the score was reversed, and Kobe Bryant started Magic mode again, assisting his teammates, and in this way, Kobe Bryant led the team to the first win of the regular season with very comprehensive data: 33 points, 7 rebounds and 9 assists.

After the game, some local media praised Kobe's performance.

"After leaving O'Neal, Kobe Bryant has become more mature, and he perfectly demonstrated the temperament and ability of the new leader of the Lakers today, he will be the irreplaceable leader of the Lakers, he can make his teammates better, not just just be a scorer."

Sun Zhuo read this report and felt that it was too early to make a conclusion based on just one game, Kobe Bryant is a very repetitive person, he will look at the results and choose the style of play, for example, today he used the leader-style style of play to drive everyone to win this game together, then he will do this in the next game, but if he loses in the next game, what if he loses in the next game?

I'm sorry, he won't be like this again, he will incarnate as "Black Mamba" again and fight by himself.

In the second game of the Lakers, Sun Zhuo was still absent, and Kobe Bryant led the team to play, this time against the strongest Spurs team in the league, and the Spurs were the last team to win the championship this season in the previous life.

Lost to the Lakers in the playoffs last season, Popovich lost to Sun Zhuo in the Olympics, two big hatreds, so that Popovich held his breath and wanted to return the color, and the overall strength of the Lakers dropped sharply......

Sun Zhuo's non-play is a good thing for the Lakers, if you don't see Sun Zhuo, the Spurs play fairly decently, and they don't mean to kill the Lakers.

Kobe Bryant still played well today, and he didn't dominate the ball too much, giving Odom and the others a comfortable way to play, so they could play as well.

At halftime, the Lakers even led the Spurs by one point, at that time, Kobe Bryant had 15 points and 5 assists, Odom had 14 points, and many people were saying that Kobe was really a good leader!

But in the second half, things changed, the Spurs began to show the strength of a strong team, Odom and others could not help the team much, and Kobe Bryant had no intention of going it alone, the point difference was slowly widened, and the Lakers also received their first loss in the regular season.

In the first two games led by Kobe Bryant, he won one and lost one, Kobe Bryant showed a selfless and all-round leadership style, although he lost one of the two games, his overall performance was still worthy of recognition.

In the next game, Sun Zhuo will lead the team alone, Kobe Bryant will take a rest, everyone is looking forward to it, what kind of results can Sun Zhuo lead the team to?
