Los Angeles at Christmas is always very congested, the city is already crowded, and when it is on holiday, people from other cities will also choose to come here for vacation, or shopping or tourism, which increases the congestion of the city.

This didn't affect Kobe Bryant, he arrived at Staples Arena by helicopter, which many people thought was a pretense, but in fact, Kobe Bryant's reason for flying a helicopter was simply to save time wasted on the road, so that he could squeeze out more time to train.

Kobe Bryant has won three championships so far, but this does not satisfy him, because these three championships are shrouded in a huge shadow - the big shark O'Neal, as the fans say, the shark peak is three years, and the guard is three times in a row, in Kobe's opinion, these three championships are not worth much.

Kobe Bryant wants more championships, more championships with more gold content, and he is willing to give everything for this.

That's Kobe Bryant, a paranoid neurotic who is already one of the best shooting guards in league history, but he's still not satisfied.

This summer, instead of continuing to "outrageously" sneak into the training gym on the second day of the championship to sweat it out, Kobe Bryant spent a long vacation on the operating table, all of which began to plague him midway through last season's regular season.

But after the vacation, he immediately threw himself into a training frenzy, because he didn't want to be one of the best shooting guards in league history, but to be the best shooting guard, even if he had Jordan's almost impenetrable mountain in front of him.

Before 2008, even if the team repeatedly failed in the playoffs, Kobe Bryant didn't care, he was always so confident that he could become the best player in the league after all.

There's no doubt that Kobe Bryant was once the best player in the league, but if he still sees it that way, what's the difference between him and Kezhou? What were the characteristics of Kobe Bryant at his peak? The terrifying firepower to score anytime and anywhere in the half-court offense, the well-balanced technique to cut or jump shots on the left and right sides, the strong physique on the defensive end, the perfect technique to defend against the ball, and the weak side to help defend in focused situations.

But all of these things need an important condition to support - physical fitness, and now, Kobe Bryant's physical fitness has a problem.

Bryant averaged 29 per game in November 2009. 9 points 5. 2 rebounds 4. 2 assists and 31 per game in December. 3 points 6. 1 rebound 5. 0 assists were scored and vlfenbie was 50 on hit. 6% and 47. 9%。 But in January, Bryant's numbers plummeted to 23 per game. 7 points 4. 6 rebounds 5. 2 assists on 41-goal shooting. 3%。 And, in the next three months, Bryant's form never returned to the peak of the early season.

In addition, Bryant's offensive style has changed, and last season, he shot the third-most from 10-15 feet, averaging 4 shots per game. 0 times, behind Dirk Nowitzki and Al Jefferson.

Although Kobe Bryant's shooting percentage in this area is second only to Steve Nash, Ben Gordon, Chris Paul, Derrick Rose, and Rasheed Wallace, Kobe's style of attack is still not recommended - obviously, the closer you are to the basket, the easier it is to score, Kobe Bryant does not understand this truth, but his body is no longer able to support him to hit the basket in 82 games.

That's why Bryant was willing to compromise on surgery in the summer, arguing that last season's Western Conference Finals collapsed because his injury affected his performance.

In the summer, Kobe Bryant concentrated on surgery, minimally invasive surgery on his knees, and orthopedic surgery on his fingers, but when the new season started, he found that the surgery did not help him much.

Sometimes, when Kobe Bryant stands in front of the mirror, he finds the reason for his declining form, his muscles are no longer as tense as they were three years ago, his eyes are no longer as sharp and aggressive as when he was young, and he has lost the momentum of the invincible man who once swept the world in every gesture.

What's even more terrifying is that Bryant found these things on Chamberlain.

After getting off the plane, Kobe Bryant silently took a headset and walked into the training hall and began to sweat silently. Because last night was Christmas Eve and tonight's Christmas the players couldn't spend it at home, the new Lakers coach Brown gave the players a short day break so that the players could spend time with their families.

Therefore, there are only two people in the training hall at this time, Kobe Bryant and the trainer.

Two people, one training hall, there was no sound other than the impact of equipment and heavy breathing.

The trainer knows Kobe's habits, and this black mamba never talks nonsense when he is training.

Bryant has become accustomed to loneliness and loneliness, which has shaped his fighting spirit and stronger spirit, and allowed him to remain calm in the heat of training and think about important things.

At this point, Kobe Bryant is thinking about the team's lineup.

Speaking of the Lakers in the past decade, there is one person who cannot be ignored, and that is Zen master Jackson. The old Zen master has brought countless glory to this team and has also left his mark.

When he was young, Kobe Bryant was disdainful of the old Zen master, in his opinion, basketball is just a few tactics, and it is the players who really decide the outcome of the game.

Later, as he matured, he finally discovered that the role of the manager was big and big.

So when he learned that the Zen master was fired and replaced by Brown as the head coach, Kobe Bryant was desperate for a while, he knew very well that Brown, who was known as the 'little emperor's big internal manager', was too much inferior to the Zen master in terms of ability.

The fact is also the same, at the beginning of the new season, the Lakers' record is not bad, and the second league in the West is also second, and this is not because they can only win second because they are not strong, but because the first Warriors are too perverted - from December to now, the Warriors have not lost a single game, and they have won all in December!

But Kobe Bryant knows that the current Lakers team has problems, and there are many problems, which are covered by the strong strength and tacit cooperation between him and Gasol, and he believes that since he can see the team's problems, then Brown, the head coach, can also see it.

To his disappointment, Brown may have seen it, but there was nothing he could do to make up for it.

Brown is a good guy, he's only been with the Lakers for four months, but he seems to be more popular than the Zen master he had been with for four years, and even the grumpy Artest likes him. But in Kobe's eyes, he is just a good person, never a good coach, and the Lakers will be destroyed in his hands sooner or later.

In terms of players, the Lakers' configuration is actually pretty good.

Derrick Fisher has been criticized for the past two years, he's just too old, and even in his prime, he shouldn't be the starting point guard for a championship team, he's a shooter who shot just 34 from three-point range last season. 8%, shooting 38%, he also struggles to create offensive opportunities for his teammates, and the defense is always blown up by speedy point guards due to age.

But the Lakers can't help it, they have no better choice, it is true that the current league has entered the era of super guard blowouts, not to mention the older generation of Kidd Billups Nash, not to mention the Mesozoic generation of Rondoroy Paul Delon, just the new generation, there are also Rose, Mayo, Conley, Westbrook, Curry, Wall and other giants.

But this has nothing to do with the Lakers, these point guards are regarded as treasures in their own teams, they can't come to the Lakers, many people in their own team are the first in command, no matter how bad they are, they are also the second-in-command, what about the Lakers? With Kobe Gasol and ball bully Artest, it's good to be a four-in-command, who will suffer from the pain of an idle egg?!

The new signing Blake, who will be a backup point guard, is a white guard who lacks strength, speed, and the ability to create opportunities for his teammates due to his individual limitations.

Organizing guards, every time he thinks about this question, Kobe Bryant sighs.

In contrast, the Lakers are not bad in other positions, not to mention the scoring guard, Kobe Bryant himself is on top, and there is a lot of talent among the forwards.

Artest's appearance last season was also controversial, but he played very strong and tough in the playoffs, which was one of the key factors for the Lakers to reach the Western Conference Finals safely, so Artest is now worth the money for the Lakers.

Speaking of which, Artest is not a very good offensive player, but he is not a small threat from open threes and can use his strong body to eat in the low post. More importantly, Artest is a tough defensive player who also has a good passing hand and is good at running off the ball, but lacks possession ability.

After Duncan, Nowitzki, Garnett and others gradually fell away, Gasol is on his way to the best power forward in the active roster, and he was actually the efficiency king of the Lakers last season, not Kobe. Averaged 18 per game. 3 points, 11. 3 rebounds, 1. 7 caps, 3. 4 assists and 53 shots. 6%。

There's no doubt that Gasol is already strong, and it's only when he thinks about him that Kobe Bryant has a little confidence in the next few seasons.

Gasol has been characterized by a balanced left and right hand, and has a good habit of attacking, never letting go of his hands until the ball is in his hands.

At the same time, Gasol's playmaking ability and defensive coverage are quite impressive, and the only problem is that he is suppressed when he encounters players with a similar but better style of play - like Kevin Garnett, like Oxladelain.

But after a season of running-in, Gasol suddenly became tough, and he not only averaged 11 per game. Three rebounds set a new career record, while also increasing the number of blocks by 0. 7, and in doing so, he has been promoted from a good interior defender to a good interior gatekeeper.

What's more, Gasol was actually tougher in the playoffs than in the regular season, averaging 18 per game. 6 points 11. 6 rebounds 2. 6 blocks, the three major numbers have all risen, and the blocks are the first on the team, completely replacing Bynum and becoming the strongest defender on the Lakers' interior.

In fact, Gasol is not only the Lakers' best defender on the inside, but also the Lakers' best interior player, the Lakers' best player — last season, he had an efficiency rating of 22. 97, beating Kobe Bryant to become the team's efficiency king. ESPN expert John Hollinger made it clear that "Gasol is the best skilled interior player in the league, and his problem is not in himself, but in the fact that his teammates often ignore his savings."

Ramal Odom, who is the Lakers' best sixth man, can play both center and power forward, can defend three positions in the frontcourt, can also attack opponents with flexible ball handling skills, and his rebounding ability is also underrated: he averaged 9 in 31 minutes per game last season. 8 rebounds. Also in this position is rookie Derek Carrkett.

Thinking of Odom, Kobe Bryant could only shake his head helplessly and smile bitterly, this is a bastard who makes him cry and laugh, love and hate, Odom under his full attention is definitely the strongest storage of the Lakers after Kobe and Gasol, but he often wanders!

Bynum, another big player in the frontcourt, has more problems, Kobe Bryant doesn't know what to say about this teammate, in his opinion, this is a wonder, Bynum has the body to become a top center, but he does not have the determination and IQ to match.

In addition, Bynum has suffered injuries in the past two seasons, and in the first two months of the new season, Bynum has been diagnosed with 8 games, and even when he plays, he can only play 30 minutes at most, which is really limited to help the team.

All in all, in Kobe's mind, the current Lakers team, despite the shortcomings of the point guard, is not to the point of irreparable, he is the master of the outside ball, his mid-range is almost incomprehensible, and he often used his height advantage in the low post to eat opponents last season.

Small forward Artest is extremely strong defensively, and the interior is controlled by Gasol, Bynum, and Odom, as long as the three can stay healthy, the Lakers still have a lot to do this season.
