You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 370
December is a spectacular month for the Lakers, not only because the opponent's strength is gradually increasing, but the schedule benefits at the beginning of the season no longer exist.

Kobe in November resolutely implemented the strategy of reducing offense, strengthening defense, and making himself comprehensive.

The Lakers therefore stimulated the potential of the team in November.

In December, maybe the media said too much, or maybe the Lakers needed him to bear it, or maybe it was his desire to control deep in his heart.

No matter what the reason is, Kobe in December is the Kobe fans are most familiar with.

This month, he had three signature games.

On December 12th, the mid-month battle, the Lakers played against the Rockets.

The Rockets have Yao Huang as the main core, and they will fight the Lakers.The two sides fought bloody battles into overtime.

Due to McGrady's injury and unable to play, the Rockets can only beat Yao Huang a little.Yao Huang's offense is a powerful siege weapon, but his physical strength is a problem.

He played well in regular time, but in overtime, his vitality was far less than that of Kobe.

Taking advantage of Yao Huang's shortness of breath, the Rockets had no one to stand up and score. The Lakers won the game with Kobe as the core.

Kobe also played a legendary battle against the Rockets.

全场比赛，科比38投17中，命中率不到45%，看起来不是很高，但他的数据是骇人的55分10篮板8助攻2抢断1盖帽。

The only block was for Yao Huang.

In the future, many Rockets fans from China will tremble when they see Kobe, which is the shadow left by this battle.

It's like it's hard for Thunder fans to forget Mr. Jinzhou Lavincu's "the best I've ever seen in my career" lore three-pointer to recruit An Dumou.

It's also hard for Warriors fans to forget that James and the flat-earth scholar joined hands to bury the 73-win Warriors in the final moments of Game [-], putting the Cavaliers and James' names on a season that should have entered the discussion of "the greatest individual show season of all time" decades later.

Seeing them reminds me of those things.

Today's Kobe is bringing such a response.

Yao Huang's data performance is not as good as Kobe's, and he did not come forward due to physical problems in overtime.

After the game, Wei Xia hugged Yao Huang and said softly: "You fell down before I exerted my strength."

"Don't be complacent, at least we persisted." Yao Huang regretted the overtime collapse, but he didn't admit it.

The two sides leave it alone.

Game 12 of Bryant's signature game in December came just one game after beating the Rockets.

The Lakers host the Washington Wizards.

One problem tonight is Odom's absence from the game due to excessive sugar intake and diarrhea.

Odom's defense has always been a problem. If he doesn't play, he may strengthen the Lakers' defense. No one would have thought that this battle would turn into a phenomenal battle between superstars.

Kobe and Arenas, two monsters who can ignore the three-point line when they enter the state.

It's a pity that today's Kobe didn't have the determination to fight Arenas to the end.

Bryant's field goal percentage was 10 percentage points higher than Arenas', but he passed more balls because Vladimir Radmanovich, who started instead of Odom, felt good.

Arenas' unimaginable feel and state, from shooting to breaking through to create kills, knocked out Bynum and Hollins.

The two sides fought until the last quarter, Arenas scored 15 points in a single quarter, and the game entered overtime.

In two consecutive games, the Lakers scored overtime.

The game against the Wizards went into overtime, indicating that Wechat will play 50 minutes in two consecutive games.

Against the Rockets, he took a 1-minute break and played 52 minutes in the game, with a quasi-triple-double.

For the Wizards, it's better.

The Zen master asked him to defend Arenas for a period of time.But during that time, Arenas was a tiger, untouchable, and whoever dared to make a move would be taught to be a man by the referee's whistle.

It was under the blessing of the superstar whistle in the away game that Arenas defeated the Lakers like a god of war and entered the overtime game with an unstoppable momentum.

In overtime, Kobe was 3 of 2 and Arenas was 5 of 3, but Kobe only scored 6 points, while Arenas blasted 16 points.

Is he a fairy?Of course not, in addition to the 3 goals he made, he also made 9 free throws, slammed the audience, slashed 60+8+8 data, smashed Kobe's 45+8+10, and successfully took away the victory from the Staples Center.

Thanks to Arenas, Versia didn't play 50 minutes in two consecutive games.

Because at the beginning of overtime, he was fouled off for the sixth time by a bewildered referee.

"I don't know when Staples Center became Washington's home court. The game didn't have any intensity. Gilbert could hit the basket and cause a foul."

Jackson spoke bravely, and the league appreciated him so much, so, in recognition of his bravery, a fine of $25000 was divided.

Another iconic game against the Charlotte Bobcats.

The Lakers play away games, it is Jordan's team after all.

"The help Michael gave me in private cannot be described in words, and I will repay him with practical actions." As soon as I heard Kobe's words, I knew that he wanted to get a high score.

Therefore, no one else needs to talk nonsense, just pass the ball to him at the beginning.

However, not long after the start of the game, Odom, who operated for the sake of showing off, showed himself off the field.

He may have been underprepared, or he was ill and had weak legs, whatever the reason, but he twisted his foot in a fancy move and was carried off.

With Odom's touch, Kobe opened up even more.

Every time he makes a goal, he looks at Jordan, and sometimes spouts a few trash words.

There was a sneer and a mocking smile on Jordan's mouth, and sometimes he said to Kobe: "It's far away, come again!"

Then Kobe really fell for it, like a werewolf who saw the full moon.

"Can't you see that he is using aggressive tactics?" Wei Xia asked Kobe violently.

"I see," Kobe asked dismissively, "so what?"

The more he came into contact with Kobe, the less Weisha liked his way of playing.He's not stupid, he really knows how to win, what's the right way to play basketball, but he's always dismissive of dogmatic rightness.

The change in November was a failed attempt, will he continue?
Kobe Bryant's endless continuous shots did not bring victory.

The game against the Bobcats was the finale of Kobe's entire December. He took 12 shots alone, hit 45 goals, and his shooting percentage was a respectable 22%.

Kobe, who was selfish to the extreme, sparked a round of criticism.

ESPN's pundits bear the brunt: "Kobe Bryant, one of the most pivotal superstars of our generation, has managed to turn a group of outstanding teammates into underdogs who do nothing but pass the ball to Kobe."

"Look at Wish's expression. Is this kind of game fun? How is it possible? Who wants to stand aside and watch a selfish person take 50 shots?"

Their accusations are not based on Wei Xia's dissatisfaction with Kobe.

In fact, on the day of the loss, Wei Xia's evaluation of Kobe was positive: "If Kobe has this touch every day, he can shoot whatever he wants, and we have no problem."

The reason for the Lakers' loss was not that Kobe had high shots and low efficiency, but that other players were at a loss after Kobe took a lot of shots, and then they were blown away by the Bobcats' inside advantage.

It seems unexplainable, but it is actually very easy to explain.

Here we need to bring out the greatest regular season player of all time, Dabeidou Lao Zhang. His two seasons of 50 points per game and 44 points per game are amazing. Needless to say, his efficiency is amazing in any era, but his teams won 49 games and 31 games respectively.

It can be seen that no matter how strong the core players' ability to hold the ball is, basketball is a sport that requires five talents to play well. No matter how big an individual is, in a sport where five players are on the field at any time for 48 minutes per game, they cannot completely dominate the field⑴.

Criticism of Bryant continued, and the Lakers blocked outside voices and rushed to Philadelphia for the final game in December.

It was also the finale of 2006.

After this battle is over, the only thing left for the Lakers is a New Year's Eve party.

The Lakers returned home to wait for the last opponent of the year-the Philadelphia 76ers.

Not long ago, the 76ers officially ended the Allen Iverson era.

They sent him to the Denver Nuggets after the trading market opened, and formed a golden pair of guns with Anthony.

As for the 76ers, they packed up the rest of the staff and moved forward in confusion.

Their current personnel reserve seems to be okay, not to the point of being broken, but the upper limit of their development is limited.

Against the Lakers, they can still start Iguodala, Andre Miller, Rodney Carney (Rodney Carney SF), Samuel Dalembert and Alan Henderson.

Of course, the Lakers are better than the lineup, and Weixia once again triggered the BUFF that would go berserk against his hometown team or the Celtics.

At the same time, Kobe, who has been scolded over and over again by the media for being selfish in the past two days, is also holding back his anger and looking for someone to vent.

The 76ers, who did not intend to start a war, were forced to be involved in a fierce battle with the Lakers.

In this battle, Kobe scored 38+8+8, and Wei Xia scored 35+5+5. Their performance established the foundation for the Lakers to win. They beat the 76ers on the spot and ended the 2006 game with a big victory without any suspense.

At the press conference after the game, the reporter asked Wei Xia why he always played hard against his hometown team.

Wei Xia resorted to a trick to bring disaster to the east: "There is someone who is more ruthless than me, why don't you ask him first?"

⑴ Why move old Zhang?Because only Lao Zhang in those two seasons fully met Kobe's ball dominance index of 45 wild shots against the Bobcats.
