On January 23, 2006, the Los Angeles Lakers played against the Toronto Raptors at home. At this moment, no one knows that this ordinary regular season will be recorded in history and remembered by the world. Even in the past 10 years, 15 years, 20 years or even longer, it will be celebrated.
In the 2004 Finals, the Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Detroit Pistons. "Zen Master" Phil Jackson resigned as coach. The conflict between the two cores of the team has also intensified. In the 2004-05 season, Kobe Bryant, who officially became the boss, was still brave on the court but difficult to support alone. Under the influence of the Eagle County sexual assault on the court, the Lakers finally failed to make the playoffs, which was also the darkest of his career. Hard time. In the face of ridicule and questioning, the stubborn Kobe chose to be the enemy of the world and turned his anger into strength.
The 2005-06 season is the ultimate manifestation of Kobe's personal heroism. He has repeatedly staged the savior of single riding and turned the tide. By January 2006, Kobe's competitive form reached its peak, averaging a staggering 41.6 points per game in the first nine games.
The wheel of history came on January 23, the tenth game, against the Toronto Raptors.
In the first half of the game, Kobe Bryant scored 26 points in a "perfect manner", but Mike James and Charlie Villanueva of the Raptors felt hot to help the Raptors lead the Lakers 65-47 by 18 points. In the second half of the game, "Black Mamba" finally revealed its hideous face and sharp fangs as if to swallow everything, and the Toronto nightmare began.
In the third quarter, Kobe led the Lakers to a 38-14 offensive climax with his own power. He drew three-pointers, stopped jumpers, and broke through dunks. He used various methods to destroy the Raptors' defense. The Raptors' defensive strategy for Kobe has changed from a single-defense battle at the beginning to a double team, and finally even a three-person team, but at this time Kobe is already unstoppable.
In the fourth quarter, Kobe, who killed the red eye, has nothing to stop him from scoring. He used two three-pointers to reach the 70-point threshold in a single game. Kobe scored the last 7 points with free throws under the attention of the world. At that time, the Zen master had the idea of replacing Kobe when he scored 77 points.At this time, the assistant coach sent a word of invaluable persuasion: "Phil, I don't think you can do it, you will cause a riot."
Until the last 4.3 seconds, a dead ball gave Zen Master a chance to change. The Lakers on the 8th walked to the sidelines, pointed their fingers to the sky, and greeted the cheers of Los Angeles, leaving the world a great back.
Kobe Bryant made 28 of 46 shots in 42 minutes, 7 of 13 three-pointers and 18 of 20 free throws. He scored a career-high 81 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 steals and 1 block. cover. This is the greatest scoring performance since Will Te Chamberlain.
After the game, Kobe embraced his daughter Natalia and kissed his wife Vanessa Bryant. This scene became one of the most classic moments of Kobe's career.
Kiss his wife and daughter after the game.
Compared with the fans cheering Kobe as "MVP", the basketball world cares about Kobe's 81 points, and the daughter is more concerned about the health of his father.
"Dad, did they (the players defending Kobe) poke you in the eye?"
"Yes."
"Are you okay?"
"I'm fine."
"Be careful, Dad."
"OK, I'll be careful."
The iron heart, which is as firm as a god of war, melted completely under the care of his daughter. After scoring 81 points, Kobe did not hold any parties or celebrate in any other way. He just watched "Cat and Mouse" with his daughter the next day.
Years are hurried, and the people are gone. Kobe and his beloved daughter left this world together and went to another place.
Fortunately, he left a lot of things to this world,It can make us feel that he has not gone far.
