Reborn as Kobe

　　 It seemed to many people that after the Rockets lost Tracy McGrady and Big Ben, they would basically sing a cool song this season, but the next performance of the Rockets surprised the entire league and even felt panic.

McGrady’s departure completely liberated Nash as Kobe expected, and Duncan’s quick adaptation to running and bombing tactics is even more surprising. In addition, O’Neal and Cole were put on the starting lineup, and the Rockets’ defense It also becomes orderly and full of resilience.

In the game against the Wizards on the 27th, the Rockets won 121 to 95. The result is not too surprising, but the process of the game shocked the coaches of other teams because the Rockets only cost the game. The Wizards were destroyed in less than three quarters. If it weren't for the Rockets' bench strength, the point difference in this game would be even greater. Tim Duncan, a new player in the game, scored 22 points, 20 rebounds, 3 assists and 4 blocks. In 31 minutes, Nash scored 24 points and 17 assists. He chatted with his teammates throughout the fourth quarter. O'Neal scored 21 points. 9 rebounds, Olajuwon 15 points and 6 rebounds, Stephen Jackson 18 points and 6 assists, Cole 15 points, all from outside three-pointers.

　　 On the 29th, the Rockets easily defeated the Hornets 120 to 100. Different teams, in the same process, the Hornets only lasted two or three minutes longer than their previous opponent, the Wizards. In this game, Tim Duncan once again scored 24 points, 21 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 blocks and 2 steals. Nash got 21 points and 16 assists, O'Neal 18 points and 10 rebounds, Olajuwon 14 points and 7 rebounds, Stephen Jackson 20. With 4 assists, Cole has a three-pointer style, hit four three-pointers and scored 12 points.

　　 The Rockets have risen, and the Celtics are not losers. With Ben Wallace guarding the basket, coupled with McGrady's rhythm control, the Celtics have also played well.

　　 In the away game against the Suns on the 30th, the Celtics abused their opponents 102 to 74. The most shocking thing in this game was the Celtics' defense, which can be described as suffocation. Tracy McGrady’s defense is not weak. He is mainly based on defense. In addition, the ability of other Celtics players is mostly defensive. Antoine Walker also changed his lazy image. Rick Pitino’s all For the first time, the power of field pressing tactics was shown in the NBA.

In this game, Tracy McGrady scored a triple-double of 26 points, 11 rebounds and 12 assists. Ben Wallace also scored 14 points, 16 rebounds and 3 blocks. Antoine Walker hit four open three points and scored 28 points and 5 rebounds. 3 assists.

Under the leadership of Kobe, the Lakers are still as stable as an old dog. On December 30th, the Lakers took the visiting Kings 112-93 at home. In this game, Kobe scored 20 points, 10 rebounds and 14 assists and punched in the three quarters. The rest of the Lakers players, Campbell 23 points and 9 rebounds, Van Exel 18 points and 8 assists, Rick Fox 17 points and 6 rebounds, Eddie Jones 16 points and 4 assists, Horry 13 points, the Lakers scored in double figures. .

　　 After the game, the old Nelson began to communicate with Kobe. Recently, he and Kobe have been discussing tactics more and more. The old Nelson felt that many of Kobe's ideas were bold, but many things were very suitable for the direction of basketball development in his opinion.

　　 "Bryant, what do you think of the Rockets and Celtics after the trade?" Old Nelson asked while drinking the health-care ginseng tea Kobe gave him.

Kobe thought for a while and said: "The Celtics are not worried. Their lineup has weaknesses. Rick Pitino is not suitable for coaching the NBA. The Rockets are in trouble. Tim Duncan is no less than Shaquille. Guys, O'Neal has great prospects for future development. The defense of Bowen and Stephen Jackson is definitely the top level in the league. The most anticipated is Nash. Although his defensive ability is messy, he has absolute control over the game. No less than Magic Johnson, and their coaches, it seems that the two head coaches are prone to conflicts, but the two of them are really complementary. If Mr. Rudy Tomjanovich returns, he can let go of his prejudices and coordinate the three. The relationship between people, the Rockets coaching staff is terrible."

　　Old Nelson shuddered when he thought about the future. He asked thoughtfully: "Then what should the Lakers do to suppress the Rockets in the future?"

Originally, Bryant shouldn’t be involved in the team’s future planning, but he turned the Rockets into a monster, and the Rockets will become stronger and stronger in the future. In addition, there is no gap between him and Nelson, so he said bluntly: "We This season has a great chance of reaching the finals and even winning the championship, but next season, we need to make major adjustments to the lineup. We need a fourth player with good scoring ability. The shooting guard should also be adjusted. Horry, etc. People will start to decline in one or two seasons."

　　 "It seems I need to discuss with Jerry." Old Nelson sighed finally.

　　 In addition to training and competition recently, Kobe has completed the recording of a new album. This time he recorded a Chinese album.

　　 Because he was busy harvesting the benefits of financial turmoil in Asia in July and August, Kobe’s album was late for more than half a year. In the new album, Kobe not only plagiarized Backstreet Boys' "drowning", "StraightThroughMyHeart" and "ShapeofMyHeart", but also copied West Side Boys' "swearitagain", "beautifulworld" and "AgainstAllOdds", and "LoseYourself" by Ruffian Eminem. ", "NotAfraid" and "LoveTheWayYouLie", in addition, he extended the magic to the Lincoln Park band, plagiarizing the band "intheend", "Numb" and "whati\'vedone".

In the discourse album, Kobe recorded "East Wind Break", "Qilixiang", "Blue and White Porcelain", "Chrysanthemum Terrace", "Jiangnan", "Mouse Loves Rice", "Big City Little Love", "Ten Years", "Love Transfer", " "Drunk Chibi", "The Girl Said to Me" and "Three Kingdoms~www.readwn.com~~ Kobe completely blocked the roads of many people. The English albums are still distributed by Disney's music company as usual, while the Chinese albums are handed over to the Ryefield Company that Liu Xiaoli previously acquired.

　　 The shooting of the two album songs MTV was conducted in Los Angeles, because Kobe needs to train and play games, so there is no time to leave. In the English album, Charlize Theron, Scarlett Johansson and others have guest-starred heroines. In the Chinese language, China Entertainment Brothers, Tang Dynasty and Maitian sent people to take charge of the production. Kobe also met Li Bingbing, rich fan Ye, Chinese female movie stars such as Zhao Yanzi and Zhang Ziyi, but Kobe has no interest in these utilitarian women, and he does not want to be Dumas, only hopes that the lover he is looking for has at least a sincere heart.

　　 At the beginning of 1998, the two albums were released in the East and West at the same time. Naturally, they caused a huge sensation in Europe and America. China is also comparable, comparable to a magnitude 12 earthquake.

　　 Although Da Yao and others have not logged into the NBA, China has already had a lot of Kobe fans.

This Chinese album was provoked by some people, and many people had huge doubts about Kobe, thinking that Chinese is the most complex language in the world, and it is already difficult for Kobe to speak. Besides, composing songs in Chinese, Kobe is also Don’t be annoyed, he himself was a veteran “troller” in his previous life. He didn’t say much about the rules in it. He just threw out the two novels "Langya Bang" and "Zhu Xian" that he had just finished. , Although it was not calm and calm, at least the tide subsided.
