When it comes to super scorers, Kobe Bryant is the best answer in the hearts of many fans. Because his career lasted for 20 years and completely overlapped Yao Ming's entire career. So the fans who paid attention to the NBA in those years are naturally familiar with Kobe's game, those who have witnessed him score 81 points in a single game, witnessed three consecutive championships, and witnessed him hit 35 in the season4 points fans, it's hard not to be conquered. At his peak, he once scored 40 points in 9 consecutive games, so how did he lead the team in these games?
As we all know, it is very difficult to score 40 points in a game. Even in this era of data inflation, 40 points in a single game is a top performance, and scoring 40 points in a row will undoubtedly be the focus of the news.
When it comes to Kobe's peak, '06 and '07 are the most impressive. Because O'Neal and Kobe Bryant had a falling out at that time and left the Lakers. Kobe Bryant led the team with a single core, and naturally became the boss of the team, and also has unlimited power. The team is not competitive enough, and it is basically up to Kobe Bryant to carry the team forward, and he is also crazy to shoot. In '06, Kobe Bryant played 80 games and averaged 35 per game4 points 53 rebounds and 4With 5 assists, he successfully won the honor of scoring champion. It was also in that year that he performed the miracle of slaying the dragon for 81 minutes.
By '07, Kobe Bryant continued his perfect performance, averaging 31 per game in 77 games6 points 57 rebounds and 5With 4 assists, he also became the NBA's scoring champion for 2 consecutive seasons. All kinds of difficult goals, unsolvable kills, countless fans.
However, Kobe Bryant scored 40 points in 9 consecutive games, but it did not happen in 06 and 07, but in the period of partner O'Neal. That was in 2003, when the Lakers had achieved three consecutive championships and were the dynasty's teams in the league, and the OK combination was also unbeatable, and O'Neal was recognized as the first in the league. In the middle of the season, Bryant got better and better, scoring 30+ points in 16 consecutive games, including 9 consecutive games with 40 points.
In those nine games against the Knicks, Nuggets, Kings, Rockets, Nuggets, Trail Blazers and SuperSonics, Bryant averaged an insane 31 shots per game1 time, he averaged 44 points per game and 52 rebounds and 3With 4 assists, he shot 496%, the offensive state is extremely hot. He led the team well enough, with a 7-2 record in 9 40-point games, only losing to the Knicks and Kings, which can be said to lead the team forward.
At that time, Kobe Bryant was only 24 years old, and he had already played a phenomenal performance. But it was also at that time that the seeds of contradiction were planted. The young Kobe Bryant has super strength, and he no longer recognizes O'Neal's status as the boss, he thinks he has the strength to lead the team forward, and he should not give up the right to shoot and tactical dominance to the sharks, so after the loss in the 04 finals, the two also intensified the conflict, and finally the OK combination fell apart.
