Los Angeles is always very congested during Christmas. This city is already crowded, and when it comes to holidays, people from other cities will also choose to come here for vacation, shopping or travel, which further increases the congestion of the city.

This has little impact on Kobe. He arrived at Staples Stay in a helicopter. In many people's opinion, this is because he is pretending, but in fact, the only reason why Kobe took a helicopter was that he could 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 cannot satisfy him, because these three championships are shrouded in a huge shadow - the Big Shark O'Neal. As the fans said, the Sharks have only three years of peaking, and they only have three consecutive games for a defender. In Kobe's opinion, these three championships are not worth the money.

Kobe wants more championships and more valuable championships, and he is willing to give everything for this.

This is Kobe, a paranoid psychopath. He is already one of the best shooting guards in league history, but he is still not satisfied.

This summer, Kobe rarely continued to "extremely" and lurked in training and sweating profusely on the second day of the championship, but spent a long vacation on the operating table, and everything started with injuries that began to plague him in the middle of last season's regular season.

But after the holiday, he immediately went into crazy training because he didn't want to be one of the best shooting guards in league history, but wanted to be the best shooting guard, even if there was Jordan's mountain that could hardly cross in front of him.

26 years ago, even though the team repeatedly failed in the playoffs, Kobe didn't care. He was always so confident and confident that he could become the best player in the league.

There is no doubt that Kobe was the best player in the league at one time, but now if he still sees this way, what is the difference between him and Kezhou Qiujian? What are the characteristics of Kobe at his peak? The terrifying firepower that can score anytime and anywhere in the half-court offense, the balanced technology that can cut or jump shots on the left and right sides, the strong physique on the defensive end, the perfect technique of defending the ball, and the weak side assisting defense in the situation of concentration.

But these things all require an important condition to support them - physical fitness. Now, there are problems with Kerujin's physical fitness.

Kobe averaged 2.9 points, 2 rebounds and 42 assists per game in 209, and in February, he averaged 6l rebounds and 0 assists per game, and hit vIvube 6.60. But in 1 month, Kobe's data dropped sharply to 2.7 points, 46 rebounds and 2 assists per game, with a shooting percentage of 4 [0. And, in the following three months, Kobe's form never returned to the peak of the early season.

In addition, Kobe's offensive method has also changed. Last season, he was the third player with the third most shots between 10-15 feet, and averaged 40 shots per game, second only to Dirk Nowitzki and Al Jefferson.

Although Kobe's shooting percentage in this area is second only to Steve Nash, Ben Gordon, Chris Paul, Derek Ross, and Rashid Wallace, Kobe's attack method is still not recommended - it is obvious that the closer to the basket, the easier it is to score. It is not that Kobe does not understand this principle, but his body can no longer support him to hit the basket in all 8 games.

This is also the reason why Kobe is willing to compromise on surgery in the summer. He believes that the final collapse of the Western Conference Finals last season was because his injury affected his performance.

In the summer, Kobe focused on the operation, minimally invasive surgery on his knees and orthopedic surgery on his fingers, but the new season started. After he practiced wildly, he found that the operation did not help him much.

Sometimes, Kobe found the reason for his decline when he stood in front of the mirror. His muscles were no longer as tight as three years ago. His eyes were no longer as sharp and aggressive as he was when he was young. In his every move, he lost the momentum of sweeping the world invincible.

What's even more terrifying is that Kobe found these things in Chamberlain.

After getting off the plane, Kobe quietly brought his headset and walked into the training and started sweating silently. Because last night was Christmas Eve and tonight's Christmas Day was not allowed to spend at home, Lakers' new coach Brown gave the players a short daytime vacation so that the players could spend time with their families.

Therefore, at this time, there were only two people, Kobe and Xunpei, in the training hall.

Two people, one of them trained, except for the impact of equipment and the heavy breathing sound, there was no other sound.

Xun Pei knew Kobe's habits. This black mamba never talked nonsense when training.

Kobe has become accustomed to loneliness and loneliness. Loneliness and loneliness have shaped his stronger fighting spirit and stronger spirit, and have allowed him to remain calm during hot training and can consider some important things.

At this time, Kobe is considering the team's lineup.

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

When he was young, Kobe was disdainful of the old Zen master. In his opinion, there are only a few tactics for basketball. The players are the ones who really decide the winner and lose. These are all false. As long as the players play well, they can't win the game?

Later, as he became mature, he finally discovered that the head coach had a great role.

So when Xia Tian learned that the Zen master was fired and replaced by Brown as the head coach, Kobe was once very desperate. He knew very well that Brown, who was known as the emperor's general manager, was too much inferior to Zen masters in terms of ability.

This is true. The Lakers' record is not bad at the start of the new season, and the second in the Western Conference is also second. And this is not because they are not strong enough to win second, but because the Warriors, the first one, are too perverted. Since December, the Warriors have not lost a game and won all in December.

But Kobe knew that the Lakers had problems now and many problems had occurred. These problems were covered up by his and Gasol's strong strength and tacit cooperation. He believed that since he could see the team's problems, Brown, the head coach, could also see them.

To his disappointment, Brown might have seen it, but there was no way to make up for it.

Brown is a good man. He has only been with the Lakers for four months, but he seems to be more popular than the Zen master who has been there for four years. Even the irritable Artest likes him very much. But in Kobe's eyes, he is just a good man, never a good coach, and the Lakers will sooner or later be ruined by him.

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

Derek Fisher has been criticized for the past two years. He is too old, and even in his prime, he should not be the starting point guard of the championship team. He is a pitcher, but his three-point shooting percentage last season was only 34.0, and his shooting percentage was 3, and he also found it difficult for him to create offensive opportunities for his teammates. Due to his age, he will always be beaten by the speed point guard.

But the Lakers have no choice, they have no better choice. It is true that the league has entered an era of super guards' booming. Not to mention the older generation of Kidbilupus Nash, nor the Mesozoic Rondoroy Paul Deron, just the new generation, there are also a group of strong players such as Ross, Mayo, Conley, Westbrook, Curry, Wall.

But this has nothing to do with the Lakers. These point guards are treated as treasures in their own teams. It is impossible for them to come to the Lakers. Many people in their own team are the top leaders, and no matter how bad they are, they are the second-in-command. What about the Lakers? With Kobe Gasol and the ball dominant Artest, it would be nice to be the fourth-in-command. Who is so idle that he will suffer?

The newly signed Blake will be a substitute point guard, a white defender, who has shortcomings in strength and speed, and due to the limitations of his personal ability, he also lacks the ability to create opportunities for his teammates.

The defender of the organization, Kobe sighs every time he thinks of this question.

In contrast, the Lakers' other positions are good. Not to mention the shooting guard, Kobe himself is in charge, and there are many talented forwards.

Artest's performance last season was also controversial, but he played very strongly in the playoffs, which is one of the key factors for the Lakers to reach the Western Conference Finals safely. Therefore, Artest is worth the money for the Lakers.

Speaking of which, Artest is not a good offensive player, but the open three-pointer threat is not small, and he can use his strong body to force himself to eat at low posts. More importantly, Artest is a tough defensive player, also has the ability to pass the ball, is good at running off the ball without the ball, but lacks ball control ability.

After Duncan, Nowitzki, Garnett and others gradually fell down, Gasol is heading towards the best power forward in the service. In fact, he was the Lakers' efficiency king last season, not Kobe. He averaged 18-pointers, l-backs, f-blocks, 34 assists, and his shooting percentage reached 6.0.

There is no doubt that Gasol is already very strong. Only when he thinks of him will Kobe have some confidence in the next few seasons.

Gasol's previous characteristics were balanced with his left and right hands, and his offense was very good. He never put down his hands until the ball was mastered.

At the same time, Gasol's ability to support and the coverage area on the defensive end are quite considerable. The only problem is that when he encounters players who are similar to his style of play but are more outstanding, he will be suppressed - such as Kevin T.Net, and Chamberlain.

But after a season of running-in, Gasol suddenly became tough. Not only did he set his personal career record with 1 rebounds per game, but he also increased the number of blocks by 07. In this way, he upgraded from a good inside defender to an excellent inside gate.

More importantly, Gasol is even tougher in the playoffs than in the regular season. He averaged 18.6 points, l6 rebounds and 26 blocks per game. All three major data have increased, and blocking is ranked first in the team, completely replacing Bynum and becoming the strongest defender in the Lakers' interior.

In fact, Gasol is not only the best defender in the Lakers, but also the best inside player in the Lakers, and the best player in the Lakers. Last season, his efficiency value was as high as 2.97, surpassing Kobe to become the team's efficiency king. EpN expert John Hollinger clearly pointed out that "Gasol is the best inside player in the league. His problem is not himself, but his teammates often ignore his existence."

Lamar Odom is the main substitute. He is the Lakers' sixth man, who can play in two positions, center and power forward, he can defend three positions in the frontcourt, and can also attack counterattacks with flexible ball control skills. His rebounding ability is also underestimated: he averaged B rebounds per game in 1 minutes last season. There is also rookie Derek Caracette in this position.

Thinking of Odom, Kobe could only shake his head and smile helplessly. This is a bastard who makes him laugh and cry, love and hate. Odom, who is fully focused, is definitely the strongest existence of the Lakers after Kobe and Gasol, but he often gets distracted.

Another player in the frontcourt has many problems. Kobe doesn't know how to evaluate this teammate. In his opinion, this is a weird thing. Bynum has the physical fitness to become a top center, but he does not have the determination and IQ to match.

In addition, Bynum has suffered from injuries in the past two seasons. Two months after the new season, Bynum has been diagnosed with B games. Even when playing, he can only play for up to 3 minutes in a game, which is really limited to help the team.

In short, in Kobe's mind, although the current Lakers have shortcomings, they are not enough to make up for it. He is the controller of the outside ball. His middle distance is almost unsolvable. Last season, he often used his height advantage to win against his opponents at low posts.

Small forward Artest has an extremely strong defense, while Gasol, Bynum and Odom are in the inside. As long as the three of them can stay healthy, the Lakers still have great potential this season.
