Legend of Tomorrow

Kobe played 31 minutes, making 8 of 26 shots, 2 of 8 three-pointers, 5 of 6 free throws, 23 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, with a shooting percentage of 30.8%. People were surprised to find that Kobe actually took 26 shots and made one less shot than Guo Xu.

Some die-hard Komi on the Internet said that Kobe was not in good condition today and that this was not his normal level. 6 Billion Pot Mi immediately left a sarcastic message below.

Yes, Kobe's normal shooting percentage is about 45%. He should be 12 of 26. He can score 8 more points. In that case, the Lakers will be less than 40 points behind and there will still be a chance in the final quarter.

Didn't the disparity in strength between the two cores make Comey despair? If anyone stood in front of Kobe and interfered, he wouldn't be able to make a three-pointer.

Once Odom was injured, the overall ball movement was not smooth. Kobe just knew how to play in isolation and then hit the iron.

The current Lakers cannot function without Odom. The three point guards have average organizational skills. He has to be a fulcrum on the court. Bogut is just too young in his second year and is very good at defending in the penalty area. Walton plays a good role in offense at the 4th position, but suffers defensively.

Walton performed very well today, making 7 of 10 shots, 1 of 1 three-pointers, and 3 of 3 free throws. He scored 18 points, 5 rebounds, and 7 assists. He was the Lakers' second-highest scorer.

This is Walton's contract year. He played very actively during garbage time and is suspected of raking in statistics. Regardless of whether he stays with the Lakers in the summer of 2007, he is eager for a big contract.

In the end, the Suns beat the Lakers by 41 points 133-92, and the point difference did not widen further.

Barkley commented on the game: Ellis and Walton led the team well in the final quarter, beating the Suns by 4 points in this quarter. When the Suns placed the Lakers undercover to rest, their offense became much smoother. Yes, I'm talking about Bogut, who shot 2-for-6 from the field. He shot the ball so hard.

Kenny Smith said: I think Jason leading the Suns has every chance of breaking the record this season. I can't think of any team that can pose a threat to them. The Spurs and Lakers have already beaten them, and the Eastern Conference teams The strength is not as good as the West.”

I have a feeling they're going to end up with 80 wins, Barkley said.

Guo Xu also had this premonition, and he made bold remarks at the post-match press conference. In the past season, the Suns' remaining team achieved a record of close to 70 wins. This year everyone is very healthy. I estimate that the Suns can achieve 80 wins and 2 losses! I hope we will not encounter injuries again.

The reporters in the venue applauded together. Many people felt that the Suns really had a chance to do it. A quarter of the new season has passed and they have not lost yet.

In Guo Xu's previous life, when Artest joined the Lakers in 2009, coupled with the three top insiders and Kobe, the depth of the Lakers' lineup seemed impeccable. Kobe also once said that the team would achieve 80 wins. Although the Lakers only achieved 57 wins in the end, they defeated Perkins in the finals and reversed the Celtics to win the championship.

There was even more news during the Lakers press conference. Artest said that someone on the team was too lonely, and everyone knew who he was talking about.

Interestingly, before the game started, the ESPN commentator commented that Artest was too independent.

In my opinion, Artest seems to want to do everything, too much, and he should understand that the Lakers don't need him to do everything. There are many people on this team who are capable of throwing the ball in and can When it comes to rebounding and defense, he doesn't have to work hard to be Superman, he just needs to be Artest.

That comment made Artest very angry. I only averaged 13.7 shots per game. Am I alone?

When Artest gets angry, the consequences are serious, and he can't control his mouth. Artest now believes that he is an All-Star, not a poor guy who joins a team to compete for the championship. He joined the Lakers three years earlier and his mentality was completely different.

In Guo Xu's previous life, Artest, nicknamed The Beast during the 2008-09 season, was still very arrogant. After joining the Rockets, he attacked McGrady within a few games. With the mediation of the Rockets management and coaching staff, the conflict between the two did not expand.

After Artest left the Rockets, he criticized McGrady again. He mocked McGrady on his Twitter, calling McGrady a waste and accusing the Rockets of using dirty tricks to trap him and destroy his Bird Rights.

I will take revenge, but in fact, there is no one in the Rockets who is worthy of my best defense. Tracy McGrady is a disabled person now, and Yao Ming is finished. Artest said: The Rockets don't have any great people anymore. I might as well freeze that one. Popcorn Girl.”

Artest is even more tempered now. He was suspended for a season and is very angry. In his previous life, the Kings eliminated him from the team even though they had no stars, which shows how bad this person's character is.

Artest really doesn't take Kobe seriously. He thinks it's nothing special for Kobe to have three championship rings. After all, many people's grandmothers can win championships when they play with O'Neal and Guo Xu. Kobe doesn't have any personal honors.

Kobe doesn't like Artest now either. In his previous life, they almost had a fight in the 2009 playoffs. At that time, many people said that Kobe defeated Artest with his strength and made him willingly become his younger brother. This is a good story.

Now Kobe doesn't have a scoring title. After becoming the boss of the Lakers, he was last in the regular season once and in the first round of the playoffs once. Even Bogut refused to accept him. Can Artest accept him? The two have never met in the playoffs and only played twice in one season.

Kobe dissatisfied with that kind of person. Back then he dissatisfied with O'Neal, and now he dissatisfied with Guo Xu. He never felt that he was not capable. He couldn't bear it when a star of Artest's level mocked him.

Kobe was also angry. The sneaker contract he renewed with Adidas was only 45 million for five years. If he switched to Nike, it would be almost the same price, not even half of Guo Xu’s, and not even as good as LeBron James when he first entered the league. .

The agent explained why, because of popularity. Kobe, who averaged 35.4 points per game, and Kobe, who did not have a scoring title, are completely different people, and their commercial value is very different.

Therefore, Kobe now has an obsession to become the scoring leader, but he has to share the ball with Odom and Artest. Although Bogut is doing blue-collar work, he still has to shoot several times a game. With the shooting of substitute Ellis, Kobe is only averaging 27 points per game this season, behind Anthony of the Nuggets and Arenas of the Wizards.

Taking fewer shots and more coordination is an important factor in the Lakers' excellent start to the season, but Kobe doesn't like it. Guo Xu has taken very few shots this year, and this seems to be his best chance to win the scoring title.

Kobe was so excited that he quarreled with Artest at the press conference, insinuating that Artest was a fake All-Star and couldn't see his own position clearly.

Then the two of them stole Guo Xu's limelight and attracted people's attention. After the game, the media just mentioned Guo Xu's talk about 80 wins, focusing on the Lakers to discuss their internal strife.

After watching the news, president David Stern was really convinced. He has done a lot to win the Lakers. The No. 1 pick made the Lakers a blue-collar team, and now they've traded for an All-Star and things are going wrong.

Stern became more and more dissatisfied with Artest. He was a thorn in the side who liked to find faults. Kobe was not much better. His relationship with star players was not good, and he could not lead the team himself. Can this person be saved?

The Lakers management and owner Jerry Buss also had the same idea. Buss began to feel that keeping Kobe Bryant was a mistake. If the stars are not brought in, he will make a fuss and complain about the poor lineup. When the stars come, he will have conflicts with the opponent.

Artest is a thorn in the side. He was sent away as soon as he was traded? Where can it be sent?

The most terrible thing is that Kobe's contract extension has a trade veto power. The Lakers cannot directly trade him. If he is not satisfied with the team he goes to, he will veto it with one vote.

Online, Chinese fans' evaluation of the Lakers is - it's easy to please the gods but hard to give them away!
