My Name is Kobe Bryant

On December 1, 1997, the Lakers came to Miami.

Miami is still warm in November, and the Lakers feel a similar climate to Los Angeles.

No wonder this place has become a resort in the eastern United States. No wonder so many stars in later generations are willing to go to this team without much heritage.

BOSS! Good news! Pelinka's call interrupted Kobe's meditation.

WHAT? Robert, this is not like your usual calm self. Kobe teased.

Player of the Week! Player of the Month! We got it together! Pelinka's voice revealed joy.

Kobe nodded matter-of-factly. He was not a young boy who would fall in love with him just after receiving a little honor. He has won countless player of the month awards.

But this month's best player is a bit special.

From October 31 to the end of November, the Lakers' record was 11 wins and 0 losses. Sweeping many of the top teams in the league, including two victories over the Galaxy Battle Jazz, beating the three major centers, this year's rookie Duncan, taught the Wolves and Grizzlies.

These on-court performances are undoubtedly astonishing, and even the harshest commentators can't find fault with such a Lakers team.

Perfect!

The Lakers' performance this month has been perfect.

The most shining player on the entire team is none other than Kobe.

In 11 games, he averaged 37.8 points, 6.2 rebounds, 7.5 assists, 3.0 steals, 0.8 blocks and 2.7 turnovers in 31.6 minutes per game!

The total shooting percentage was 51.8%, the three-point shooting percentage was 40.1%, and the free throw shooting percentage was 85%!

He averaged 5.6 free throws and hit 3.5 three-pointers per game!

The offensive and defensive performance at critical moments allowed the Lakers to save themselves from danger many times and end the game.

Throughout November, the only person who could compare with Kobe was his teammate, the league's number one center, Shaquille O'Neal.

O'Neal also performed well, killing the other three major centers, averaging 32.5 points, 18.8 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 0.5 steals, 2.1 blocks and 3.3 turnovers in 33.4 minutes per game!

The total shooting percentage was 65.3% and the free throw percentage was 48.5%!

He averages 9.8 free throws per game!

The Lakers twins can average 70 points per game!

So scary!

Last week's Best of the Week was given to O'Neal. Everyone thought that O'Neal would win the Player of the Month honor in the first month of this season, but Kobe stopped it!

Kobe Bryant's performance in that game with the Jazz was really outstanding. Even if the offensive and defensive organization performed even slightly worse in any aspect, the Lakers would definitely lose!

Kobe won that game alone! The magical performance at the last moment left the Jazz in despair. Kobe can almost be said to have won the victory on the head of last year's MVP Karl Malone!

After that game, everything was settled.

Player of the Month - Kobe Bryant!

BOSS, congratulations! You must know that the current best of the month is still a very good honor. The current best of the week and best of the month are regardless of the east or the west, and only one will be produced a month. It is twice as difficult to get the best of the month than in later generations!

In such a star-studded era, Kobe won the honor by stepping on Jordan, Penny, and Malone!

You must know that Jordan still leads the Eastern Conference without Pippen, averaging 31.5 points, 7.3 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 2.3 steals per game, which is equally terrible!

Several of the best players of the week this season all have exaggerated statistics.

In the first week, Uncle Mu won every game, averaging 15.8 points, 16.2 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.4 steals and 6.0 blocks per game, making the Atlanta Hawks' restricted area a no-fly zone.

In the second week, O'Neal won 4 games and averaged 38.5 points, 20.2 rebounds, 7.2 assists and 2.5 blocks per game!

In the third week, Jordan had 39.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1.0 steals and 2.0 turnovers!

But in the end, Kobe won the Best of the Month award!

Stars of stars!

Such an honor is simply the best reward for Kobe's first month of hard work!

Although he reached the finals last year, Kobe did not have many personal honors. Such Best of the Month and Best of the Week undoubtedly add a touch of color to Kobe's now slightly empty honors showcase.

It's not a big deal, Robert. Do you believe it? I will get twenty of this general in the future! Kobe said arrogantly.

Of course! Of course BOSS! Get soft! Get the league shaking! Get this award named after Kobe Bryant in the future!

To the Future King of Purple Gold

December 1, 1997!

Kobe Bryant had the best first month of his career with an 11-win record!

In a single month, he averaged 37.8 points, 6.2 rebounds, 7.5 assists, 3.0 steals, 0.8 blocks and 2.7 turnovers per game!

Such data comes from a 19-year-old sophomore. Perhaps we should adjust our perspective on Kobe as soon as possible. We should not look at him as a newcomer who is under the legal drinking age, but put him on the same level as Michael, Penny and Grant, and look at him with the eyes of a historical superstar. Kobe.

Kobe's achievements far exceed those of his peers in history. When did Michael win the best first month of his career?

The third season!

When did Michael reach the finals?

The seventh season!

Kobe's achievements far exceed those of any superstar his age! The same goes for his abilities!

The Lakers have been making great progress this season, ranking at the top of the league in offense and defense, and at the top of history. This is completely inseparable from Kobe's outstanding performance.

Without Kobe, the current Lakers might still be an ordinary playoff team, slowly developing under the influence of the powerful players in the Western Conference!

A 19-year-old boy shouldered the burden of Zijin's revival!

This season, the Lakers will surely go down in history, and Kobe will be the brightest star on them!

At this moment, the world belongs to Kobe.

The future King of Purple and Gold is overcoming obstacles all the way to help the Lakers win the longest winning streak in history.

——Los Angeles Times

The Lakers' goal—a championship! 》

In the new season, the Lakers won 11 games with their dynamic defense, artistic passing, and unsolvable twin stars. And this momentum shows no signs of ending.

I haven't seen such a scene in Los Angeles for many years. When Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is old and Magic is injured. The former Zijin Dynasty was in decline.

No one could have imagined that Zijin’s revival would come so quickly!

From starter to substitute, from star to role player. Everyone is showing the temperament of a champion. This kind of aura condenses into a great team spirit. Under this spirit, the Lakers move forward bravely and defeat countless opponents who are stronger than them!

This is the temperament of a champion!

The current Lakers have the best record in the league! Number one in the talent league! No. 1 prospect in the league! No. 1 in the Business Value Alliance!

When they defeat all teams and finally win the O'Brien Cup, they will become the number one team in history!

Standing in front of the Lakers are countless great stars and countless luxurious teams.

But the Lakers have only one goal this season!

That's the championship!
