Zhang Zhiyuan did not go to the post-game press conference, leaving Kobe to bear the doubts alone.

However, this is not a big deal to Kobe.

After all, he is a man who has experienced the test of Eagle County.

At that time, the media's questioning was even more sharp, but Kobe still survived.

Of course, the process must be very painful.

Faced with doubts from the media, Kobe firmly refused to admit that he was playing for points, saying that this was the way he played today. He lost just because his performance was not good enough.

Moreover, the Lakers actually didn't lose much, only 7 points.

It's a pity that Kobe can't fool the media.

The news after the game still said that he was brushing the data, which led to the loss.

You can’t fool the media, and you can’t fool your heart either.

Kobe felt uncomfortable when he thought that Zhang Zhiyuan scored 86 points while he only scored 50 points.

The next day, the Lakers conducted some relaxing tactical training in the morning, and then gave the players a day off. After all, there was a game the next day, so there was no need to practice too hard.

Odom and Fisher went to the nightclub, Bynum went to play games, Kwame Brown went shopping, and Kobe chose to practice extra.

He is working hard on three-pointers and has begun to see results.

The shooting percentage during shooting training has been significantly improved than before.

Zhang Zhiyuan is also practicing, and there are two of them.

On the 20th, the Lakers played against the 76ers.

92 to 123, the Lakers easily won the game.

Kobe Bryant scored 29 points and Zhang Zhiyuan scored 24 points.

Compared to their respective explosive states, this performance is average.

But even so, it was enough for them to defeat their opponents.

On the 22nd, the Lakers defeated the Pacers 128-116.

Kobe Bryant scored 32 points and Zhang Zhiyuan scored 25 points.

For three consecutive games, Kobe Bryant's score was higher than Zhang Zhiyuan's.

But it's useless. Fans on the Internet are still discussing who is stronger between him and Zhang Zhiyuan.

Zhang Zhiyuan scored 86 points in a game, while Kobe only scored 50 points. This contrast was so obvious that Kobe's strength has been questioned.

Although everyone used to talk about the Los Angeles Twin Stars, most fans actually still have a standard in their hearts. They believe that Kobe is the boss of the Lakers and Zhang Zhiyuan is only the second in command.

But after Zhang Zhiyuan scored 86 points in a game, many fans quietly changed their views.

Although it is not necessary to conclude that Zhang Zhiyuan is better than Kobe, many fans already believe that the two are at least on the same level.

There are also a small number of fans who directly believe that Zhang Zhiyuan is already stronger than Kobe.

This kind of voice on the Internet made Kobe very depressed.

Although he has three championships, he won all three championships as the second in command.

Therefore, he must win the championship this season as the leader. Zhang Zhiyuan cannot even compete as an equal.

On the 25th, in the Christmas Day game, the Lakers faced the Mavericks at home.

In the end, 121 to 138, the two teams played a very high score, and the Lakers won in the end.

Kobe Bryant scored 43 points and Zhang Zhiyuan scored 29 points.

Kobe finally felt comfortable. He thought the media should praise him now.

However, when he saw the news after the game, he almost died of anger on the spot.

[The two stars combined to score 72 points, the strongest firepower combination in history.]

Good guy, the media didn't comment on him alone, but directly praised their combination.

Damn it.

Kobe wanted to complain, why was it not mentioned in the news when Zhang Zhiyuan scored 86 points that the two Los Angeles stars scored 104 points together? Why only Zhang Zhiyuan's 86 points were mentioned.

Kobe felt the world was full of malice.

On the 27th, the Lakers defeated the Timberwolves.

On the 29th, the Lakers defeated the Clippers.

On the 31st, the Lakers defeated the Grizzlies.

At this point, all games in December have been played.

The Lakers played 17 games this month, with 15 wins and 2 losses, and a total record of 27 wins and 4 losses, continuing to lead the league.

However, the Celtics' performance is also very strong. New

In December, they had 14 wins and 2 losses, and their overall record was 26 wins and 5 losses, only one game behind the Lakers.

The third place is still the Pistons, currently 24 wins and 7 losses.

Overall, there is not much change from November.

In other words, the status of the Cavaliers and Mavericks has declined, and the Magic's ranking has improved again.

After the games in December, the league announced its Player of the Month.

The winner in the Eastern Conference was Howard, with 23.7 points, 16.2 rebounds and 2.9 blocks, while shooting 59% from the field.

Ranked first in the league in rebounds and blocks, ranked in the top 20 in scoring, and the team's record ranked third in the Eastern Conference.

His award is well deserved.

Others simply can't compete.

The Celtics have a good record, but the player data is too scattered.

James' statistics are pretty good, 30.1 points, 9.2 rebounds and 6.2 assists, but the team's record is worse than that of the Magic.

Moreover, his data is still slightly inferior to Howard.

There is no suspense about the Eastern Conference, and there is no suspense about the Western Conference's Best of the Month.

Zhang Zhiyuan won the Best of the Month for the first time and received 30 honor points.

He averaged 33.3 points, 2.9 rebounds, 6.7 assists and 2.1 steals per game in December.

The field goal percentage was 53%, the three-point shooting percentage was 47%, the free throw percentage was 95%, and the efficiency value ranked first in the league.

Except for the rebounding data, which embarrasses the small forward, the other data are perfect and no one can compete.

Kobe averaged 30.8 points, 5.4 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game in December, which is pretty good data.

But I am afraid of comparison in everything.

His shooting percentage was only 43.6%, which was quite embarrassing in front of 53%.

The same is true for Paul. It was he who won the Best of the Month award this month.

It's a pity that now there is an extra Zhang Zhiyuan, and he has missed the best first month of his life.

Paul's statistics are 25.6 points, 10.8 assists and 3.0 steals, with a shooting percentage of 48.3% and second in the league in efficiency.

This kind of data is not even the best in a month, and Paul's fans have fainted in the toilet.

The competition for Best of the Month is actually very fierce, and it is a very valuable award.

After playing the game in December, the time has entered 2008.

There is no league game on New Year's Day, so Zhang Zhiyuan watches TNT programs at home.

Barkley, Smith, Scottie Pippen, and Rodman discuss this season's MVP.

"Kevin Garnett, no doubt about it."

Pippen took the lead in expressing his views, and many fans and spectators couldn't help but sneer.

If Pippen only supported Garnett's election, fans wouldn't think there was any problem, but Pippen insists on adding that there is no doubt, which is a bit outrageous.

When comparing records, statistics, and appearance, Garnett has no advantage, so why is there no doubt? There is a big doubt.

"Bo Xue, how come there is no doubt? Why was he elected?"

Buckley asked.

"Of course it's the team record."

Pippen said.

"The Lakers are No. 1 now."

Smith reminded.

"It's just temporary. The Lakers have more ups and downs and are definitely not as stable as the Celtics. If we continue to watch, the Celtics will eventually surpass the Lakers. Moreover, even if the Celtics' record is not as good as the Lakers, I still
To be continued...
