Media evaluation
Kobe Bryant is a player who entered the NBA directly from high school. In the first round of the NBA draft, she was selected by Charlotte Hornets 1996 and ranked 13, and exchanged with Divac 1996+0 1.7 of the Lakers. He performed well in the first season, and was selected into the starting lineup of 1998 all-star game in the second season, becoming the youngest all-star player in history. In the third season, he averaged nearly 20 points per game, ranking first in almost every technical statistic, and was regarded as one of the most exciting young stars in NBA. He and Shaquille O 'Neal started the Zijin Dynasty and jointly dominated the NBA. After the Sharks' trip to the East in 2004-05, Kobe single-handedly provoked the revival of the Lakers. Unfortunately, Kobe didn't help the Lakers get back on their feet. Although he has been working hard, the distrust within the team and the huge insider loophole brought by O 'Neill's eastward tour have plagued the Lakers throughout the season, and as a result, the Lakers have not been able to enter the playoffs. In the new season, the Lakers invited coach Phil Jackson back, believing that Kobe will have a successful future under the coach's guidance.
After entering the NBA, Kobe surpassed most regular college draft players with his amazing basketball talent. No matter in jumping, shooting and breakthrough, there is the shadow of Michael Jordan, the superstar of that year, so he is considered as one of the most powerful successors of Jordan, the god of basketball. He is the most influential and admired superstar in the NBA today. At the age of 26, he became the youngest person with an NBA total score of more than 10000; Won the NBA championship ring three times as the main force; Since 1998, he has participated in the "All-Star Contest" for seven consecutive times and made his debut (1999 did not participate due to labor disputes); Three times in the NBA team of the year and three times in the NBA defensive team of the year; Once scored 40+in 9 consecutive games; It has set a record for NBA to hit 9 three-pointers in a row and hit 12 three-pointers in a single game.
Hu Ling: Close-ups of various parts of Kobe's body.
Kobe is a fox. Why do you say that? Because Kobe Bryant on the court is as flexible as a fox.
Kobe is smarter. This is because his physical quality is absolutely first-class. With a height of 2.0 1 m and a weight of 98 kg, plus excellent jumping and good control ability, it should be said that he has the basic conditions to become a new generation of "flying man". The only thing missing is domineering. Excellent physical flexibility has created his near-perfect breakthrough ability. And all kinds of movements in the air prove that his mind is smart and his thinking is agile, so Kobe is smarter.
head
As an excellent scorer, Kobe is well received by the outside world. And his defensive skills are equally excellent. Kobe Bryant's bright eyes are as emotional as Michael Jordan's when he "stares at his prey head-on". This is because he has read each other's minds and has answers. His quick thinking and excellent judgment can be fully explained by blocking the line and adjusting the stealing time. Kobe is a player with excellent psychological and physical qualities, and he can pass on his energy and enthusiasm to the whole team. NBA coaches often say, "Bullshit! Easy basket! " Good defense can make scoring easier. Kobe's defensive posture is the best example. A real superstar should be excellent in attack and capable of saving the team from the quagmire. And Kobe has these two points. Besides excellent defense, colorful shooting can also prove his cleverness. Although excellent skills are needed from dribbling to shooting, it is useless without agile thinking. Kobe's rich imagination can also be seen in his jump shot. There are shooting after catching the ball, jumping shot after dribbling through the defense, turning around and shooting under the rebound ... it can be described as varied and colorful. Kobe is a creative player, who will judge the defensive situation, seize the opportunity and always be full of spirituality.
trend
Kobe's character, honest and frank, likes to come straight to the point, hates beating around the bush, and likes to get to the bottom of questions that he doesn't understand until he understands them. He never pretends to understand them to save face. I am very serious in practice and competition. He also questioned coach Phil Jackson's guidance until he mastered it completely. This is rare among young NBA players in recent years. Because of his age, he never reveals his inner feelings. Kobe himself said, "Maybe because he is the youngest in the family, he always likes to observe to avoid doing stupid things. This is probably related to my natural personality. " He doesn't want to admit defeat, and always works hard in practice. There is no word "lose" in his life dictionary.
intelligence
Although every excellent player is excellent in shooting and handling the ball, Kobe handles the ball with his fingertips differently from other NBA players. Kobe Bryant, with his keen sense, looks around in sports and sends the information to his fingertips quickly, which is the first condition for becoming a superstar. Although some coaches criticized Kobe for holding the ball too much, at the same time, Kobe's goals are increasing. If there is psychological "no progress", then confidence and shooting percentage will be affected. But Kobe is always full of confidence, so he always succeeds. The more Jordan plays under heavy pressure, the more Kobe has this good mentality and quality. He thinks pressure is enough to stimulate.
hand
Kobe Bryant, who had a good hand, dribbled when he was a child. When I was in middle school, because I was not tall, I focused on practicing skills such as back-up and cross dribbling. Dunk and rebound are two techniques that Kobe can do whatever he wants before entering the NBA. After strengthening the training of jump shot and three-pointers, his figures in these two statistics have not improved greatly so far. In the final practice before the start of the season, Kobe always pays special attention to the feeling and change of the holding range of his fingers. When dribbling, Kobe often takes the initiative with a unique rhythm and does not give the opponent a chance. Holding the ball and dribbling for a long time distracted the defenders. Kobe is very good at using space with defensive players and doesn't give opponents time to adjust. Kobe Bryant moved instantly when he got rid of the defender. When the right hand dribbles the ball, the left foot is inserted obliquely behind the back, and the defender's center of gravity is calculated while moving to the basket. It is very difficult for the defender to dribble back and forth, and the vertical feint is easy to make your body lose balance. But Kobe can easily use these two moves to get rid of his opponents. His movements are smooth and natural, and the movement of his eyes also makes his opponent in a state of high tension at any time. As soon as his opponent relaxed, his attack was completed.
Waist and abdomen
Perhaps Kobe was born for basketball. His natural qualifications and excellent physical balance are excellent in the NBA, which is due to his excellent waist and abdomen strength. When he loses his balance in the attack, he can also pass or shoot easily. Whenever faced with a tall inside player's block shot, he always shoots easily in the air. This is a blow to the defensive posture and the psychology of the defenders. Although there were defensive players before and after, Kobe showed his good psychology and excellent skills unhurriedly. It is precisely because of this self-confidence that can overcome any difficulties, the ability to adjust when the body is out of balance, and excellent physical fitness that people feel that there is another Jordan.
Slam slam is not only Kobe's unique skill, but also a symbol of excellent NBA players. But Kobe's dunk is different and has his own unique style. The best thing is that he reached the commanding heights with first-class speed. This rapid impact will make you feel that Kobe reached the highest point at the moment when his feet were off the ground, but he slowly fell and stayed in the air for a long time. This kind of performance often appears in competitions. For fans, the most eye-catching and exciting thing is a wonderful and distinctive dunk. All this also benefits from his excellent waist and abdomen strength.
leg
"If you don't pay attention to the strength training of waist and legs, you can't stand in the NBA," his father's advice was deeply branded in Kobe's heart. In high school, he spent a lot of time training his waist and legs to run with weight. Since entering the NBA, he has paid special attention to protecting himself and trying to avoid hurting his knees and legs. After every training and competition, he spends a lot of time doing the final exercises. Nowadays, in order to avoid knee injury, Kobe hardly does weight training. But that's all. Kobe still has amazing jumping ability. His achilles tendon is 30 cm long. Vertical takeoff 1.3m, amazing leg strength! Some experts even exclaimed that Kobe has three legs to praise his good jumping ability!
shoe
Since the 2000 finals, Kobe has been wearing new basketball shoes with his latest signature. The Lakers' uniform is yellow and purple, so he wants the sneakers to be simple and simple. Adidas and Nike both took Kobe's suggestion into consideration and specially developed new Kobe shoes. Color changes include white, black, milky white, Lakers yellow and so on. Kobe's favorite is the simple white model.
Although it's just sneakers, Kobe's choice of color and style of sneakers can also show how high he demands of himself. Because, an excellent player should have high standards for himself in any aspect. Only in this way can we achieve higher goals in the game, and Kobe is like this. At the same time, from the unique style of Kobe's sneakers, he fully demonstrated his unique personality, and it can also be seen that Kobe wants to be unique in the NBA!
Kobe Bryant and Jordan.
After Jordan, the god of basketball, left the NBA completely, who can be Jordan's successor has always been the most concerned topic for fans.
From grant hill, the earliest known successor to Jordan, to Iverson, Kobe, Carter, McGrady and other younger players ... each of them has publicly stated that they don't want to surpass Jordan or be compared with the mythical basketball god. They just want to leave their own style and record in NBA history, so that people can remember their names, not the code name "Jordan successor".
However, crazy NBA fans can't help talking about this topic again and again, and Kobe has become a player that fans often compare with Jordan, not because of their wishful thinking, but because Kobe is really like Jordan in many ways. ...
Bryant's career total score is over 19000. Importantly, he became the youngest player in NBA history to reach this level, and the previous record holder was Jordan.
On June 26th, 2006, Kobe scored 8 1 in a single game, which exceeded the highest score of 69 points set by Jordan 1990. On March 24, 2007, Kobe scored more than 50 in four consecutive games, surpassing Jordan's 50+ performance in three consecutive games 20 years ago; On April 4, 2007, Kobe completed another transcendence, which happened within 430 days.
At least in data, KB24 has launched a strong challenge to MJ23. Did Kobe pass Jordan? At least not from the current Lakers.
"Kobe has surpassed Jordan, but it's just data." -an NBA fan analyzed Kobe's crazy performance like this.
His brilliance witnessed the historical trough of the Lakers.
In the third quarter, with 6 minutes left in the game between Lakers and Nuggets, Kobe Bryant made a 1 free throw at the free throw line. He didn't know that a new record was created at that moment. It was not until after the game that he walked into the lounge and many people celebrated him that Kobe reacted. It turned out that he once again surpassed Jordan.
When he hit 19000, Kobe was only 28 years and 223 days old. The previous record holder was Jordan with a score of 19000, aged 29 years and 62 days. Many people celebrate this, but these celebrations belong to Kobe alone, not to the Lakers.
Kobe's continuous record can be said to be an outbreak under heavy pressure, or even a kind of helplessness. Last season, the Lakers were out at 8 1 point, when they were on the verge of the top eight in the western conference; In four consecutive 50+ games, the Lakers are suffering a seven-game losing streak, and many people in the league question Kobe's ball; This time, the score of 19000, although Kobe is younger than Jordan at this height, Jordan entered the league at the age of 22, and Kobe 18 entered the league.
These records do not mean 24 >; 23。 Jordan's teammate Cole recently said that Kobe has surpassed Jordan in some aspects, such as his ball control, long-range shooting and even physical fitness. Now there are more confrontations in the league than in Jordan's time, but one thing Kobe has not surpassed is to lead the team to win more victories. This is a method and a temperament.
Jordan won three championships in his first 10 season, and so did Kobe, but Jordan won three more championships later, which is Kobe's goal of surpassing Jordan. Kobe has a strong personal ability and a good coach, but he still needs the leadership and temperament of excellent teammates and Jordan, not one personal record after another.
Jordan is great because Jordan's brilliance has created the brilliance of the bull, and the two are unified. On the contrary, when he was infinitely brilliant, the Lakers struggled, and when the Lakers were brilliant, Kobe was suppressed.
At least half of people think O 'Neal is the core of the Lakers' three consecutive championships. There are still many people who believe that the reason why the Lakers' F4 is falling apart is because of Kobe Bryant. The peak of Kobe's career is not the most brilliant time of his team, which makes Kobe's greatness seem a bit different, at least not mainstream enough.
Kobe can even be called one of the three most powerful players in NBA history. However, the NBA has a set of formulas to evaluate a player. Chamberlain, for example, is almost invincible in the world. He is recognized as the strongest player in history. However, when it comes to the greatest players in the NBA, people will mention Russell and Jordan, because they established their own dynasty, because basketball is not boxing.

Kobe's career was born in a deal. At that time, the league's attitude towards high school players was completely different from now. He was selected by the Hornets at 13, and then traded with Divac of the Lakers. What did wasps think of getting rich at that time?
Bryant's rookie season averaged less than 16 minutes, which increased to 26 minutes the following year. At that time, O 'Neill was the absolute pillar of the Lakers, and Kobe's position in the team was even worse than Eddie Jones, so people usually associate him with the "future".
In his career of 1 1 year, Kobe encountered a zipper door, and some people called him a "rapist". Businessmen once regarded him as a scourge and avoided him; Kobe Bryant is called the unstable factor and the source of internal friction of the Lakers by others; What's more, people now doubt Kobe's ball and even his character ... to drag these old things out to compare Jordan's growth trajectory. Because Jordan has always been the darling of the league, even his scandal has been beautified as a way for players to relieve pressure.
No one has ever questioned or even bombarded Jordan, because he is a positive example of the NBA, and Kobe is a complex role. It is not even clear whether he is from a positive angle or a negative angle. Jordan climbed from one height to another, while Kobe experienced many ups and downs. Different fates have created two different superstars, and different world views have directed different fates. Jordan and Kobe took completely different paths. For example, Jordan started from the 4th floor and finally went to the 10 floor, while Kobe started from the bottom and now climbed to the 9th floor. Besides, his road is not smooth. He once fell down the stairs heavily, but Kobe definitely worked harder than Jordan, which is beyond doubt.
Kobe's desire to win and competitive spirit surpass Jordan's, and his fighting spirit in adversity may also surpass Jordan's. It is not that Jordan can't do it, but that he hasn't met it. In the eyes of many people, Kobe is even more touching than Jordan, because he has taken a more difficult road. But for Kobe, the key is not how to continue to work hard, but how to find or meet a shortcut to make him reach Jordan's height.
