"Kobe, did you watch yesterday's game? Aren't you most concerned about Meng Xu's score in each game? On the night of December 5, in the Los Angeles Lakers' training hall, Lamar Odom, who was late for a training game, was waving at Kobe Bryant with a newspaper.

Because the Lakers have not played for three consecutive days, and the team's current record and state are very bad, Kobe, as the boss of the team, took these Lakers players to practice in the training hall, but not every player is as dedicated as Kobe, not to mention extra practice, that is, in the usual training sessions, there are a lot of cheating and slippery, and Ramal Odom is one of them, this big man who entered the league with the title of Magic's successor behind his back, is indeed talented, But like most black players, laziness and addiction to alcohol have always been an obstacle to Ramal Odom's progress, and Ramar Odom didn't want to come at all in today's practice, but he couldn't stand the assistant coach who kept calling, if it weren't for the assistant coach telling Odom that Kobe Bryant was already angry, Ramar Odom would definitely not come.

"Lamar, if you're late for the next training match, give me two hundred push-ups before talking." The Lakers' current record is very bad, so Kobe Bryant is a little irritable whether he is on the court or off the court, for Lamar Odom, who is always lazy in training games, Kobe has never had a good face, you must know that when Odom first came to the Lakers, Kobe Bryant was very important to this big man, but through nearly half a season of observation and getting along, Kobe has been disappointed in Odom, this guy is simply mud can't support the wall, no wonder he has been holding the title of Magic's successor, But he was getting farther and farther away from the magician: "Also, don't mention Meng Xu to me, I don't care about him at all now." ”

At the beginning of this season, when O'Neal left the Lakers, after Kobe Bryant took charge of the Lakers alone, Kobe Bryant regarded Meng Xu and the Pacers as his only opponents, not only to defeat Meng Xu in the competition for the scoring title, but also to beat Meng Xu in the team's performance, and meet the Pacers in the finals. But unexpectedly, after Meng Xu started this season, he changed the style of play in the previous two seasons, and from the beginning of the new season, he fell behind in the competition for the scoring title, and now he is only ranked fifth in the scoring list, and there is a score difference of nearly 5 points between him and Kobe, so in the competition for the scoring title, Meng Xu will basically not pose any threat to Kobe. In terms of the team's record, after the Pacers beat the Nets away, the Pacers have started with 32 consecutive wins, which makes the Lakers, who are currently only 13-19, feel ashamed, so now Kobe Bryant has subconsciously not paid attention to Meng Xu, after all, for a player with strong self-confidence like Kobe, the better the Pacers' record, the more uncomfortable Kobe's heart will be.

"This guy scored 57 points yesterday at home against the Nets, and has averaged 31.5 points per game, and is now in third place on the scoring list!" According to the Lakers' current record, there is basically no hope for the playoffs, and helping Kobe Bryant win the scoring title this season is the only task for the Lakers this season, so the Lakers will pay special attention to Kobe's several competitors, Maddy, Iverson, and Meng Xu's scoring data per game.

"Really?" After hearing that Meng Xu had surpassed O'Neal and Iverson in the scoring list, Kobe Bryant instantly became interested, walked to Ramar Odom's side, and took the newspaper in his hand.

"The fastest 50+ in history!" This is the headline of the Los Angeles Times today, in yesterday's game with the Nets, Meng Xu only played 27 minutes, shooting 18 of 31, 8 of 15 three-pointers, 13 of 18 free throws, and scored an astonishing 57 points, and the scoring efficiency was jaw-dropping. If it weren't for the Nets' inhumane wrapping and fouling of Meng Xu in the middle of the second quarter and the latter part of the third quarter, and the Pacers' head coach Rick Carlisle was afraid that Meng Xu would be injured by the already red-eyed Nets players when the overall situation was decided, so he replaced Meng Xu in advance, and Meng Xu was likely to cut 60+ on the Nets' home court.

"That's right!" After a general glance at the reports about Meng Xu, Kobe Bryant said to himself, on this season's scoring list, Kobe Bryant ranks first with an average of 35.4 points per game, and Maddie behind Kobe only has 32 points, it can be said that Kobe Bryant is basically the existence of a lonely one, which also makes Kobe a little proud at the same time, very unhappy, no competitors are very lonely and lonely, and Meng Xu After 57 points in a single game, the average score per game directly increased by 0.8 points, although even so there is still a 3.9-point gap between Meng Xu and Kobe, but for Meng Xu's scoring ability, Kobe Bryant will not have the slightest doubt, the whole season is now less than half, as long as Meng Xu is willing to enter the scoring mode in the next game, then the gap between the two will definitely be further narrowed.

"Kobe, it's not too early, we still have a game tomorrow, let's practice here today." After a team matchup, Lakers head coach Frank Humbleland, after looking at the time, signaled to Kobe, or asked Kobe's advice, to end today's practice.

"Okay, let's practice here today." Before I knew it, it was 12 o'clock in the evening, and after hearing the head coach's words, Kobe Bryant slapped his palms at his teammates who were already tired and lying down behind him, signaling that they could go home.

"The Pacers' game today is still broadcast live in the United States!" After dragging his tired body back to the locker room, rookie Luke Wharton, who didn't want to take a shower for the time being, turned on the TV in the locker room, which was playing the game between the Pacers and the Celtics.

"Well, right now, the whole of America is watching when the Pacers will lose, and it's a game against the Celtics, and it's impossible for such a game to be broadcast live in the United States." Chaggie Atkins, who was undressing on the side, followed Luke Wharton's words with envy and said that the current Lakers' attention is very different from previous seasons, and the number of live broadcasts in the United States is directly 15 fewer than last season.

"Let's see if the Pacers lost?" The other Lakers players who were changing their clothes also stopped and turned their attention to the game on TV.

"I*, when is this Pacer going to win, isn't it really going to break our record?" The Lakers players who were still looking forward to the Pacers' loss with interest, began to sigh after seeing the game on the TV, although the game between the Pacers and the Celtics will not end for 4 minutes, but looking at the score of 103-88 on both sides, and both teams have replaced the main players, they know that the Pacers are going to win again today, and after the Pacers win this game, they officially tied the 33-game winning streak created by the Lakers.

"This guy scored another 55 points today!" Ramal Odom's attention is different from that of his teammates around him, he is now more concerned about how many points Meng Xu scored in this game, but when Meng Xu's score in this game was played on the TV, Ramal Odom instantly felt that the temperature around him seemed to have dropped by more than ten degrees, 17 of 29 shots, 7 of 13 three-pointers, 14 of 18 free throws, 55 points in a single game, in back-to-back games, two consecutive games to cut 50+, such data, In an instant, Ramar Odom felt that his brain was a little insufficient.

"Looks like I need to work harder!" Kobe Bryant, who had already come out of the bathroom after taking a shower, also happened to see the data on the TV.
