Some things, unwilling to mention again, as it were, never happened.
Some stories have ended, but I always want to watch them again.
When it comes to Kobe Bryant's story with 30 teams, it must start with the New Orleans Pelicans, after all, 25 years ago, it was He who selected Kobe Bryant into the NBA, when he was still called the Hornets, and he was still in Charlotte.
Don't be fooled by the words of the helper, the Charlotte Hornets of the year have now changed their name to new Orleans Pelicans.
On June 26, 1996, the Charlotte Hornets selected high school student Kobe Bryant with the 13th pick in the first round, and he was also called Kobe Bryant, or Kobe Bryant. As for why Kobe Bryant was selected with the 13th pick, I won't say much here, but the stories of other teams will be specifically mentioned later.
On July 11, 1996, the Hornets sent Kobe Bryant away to get center Divac from the Lakers. Q: With an all-around center who averages 12.9 points, 8.6 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 0.9 steals and 1.9 blocks per game, and you change a rookie with a 13th pick, do you want to change? And Divac was only 28 years old at the time, at his peak.
After not opening the eyes of the sky and thinking in empathy, you will know that the wasp's choice is not wrong. But why has the deal been listed as one of the most "losing" deals in history since some point?
Blame Kobe!
In fact, everyone really wronged the Hornets, this deal, in the end, should be the Lakers with Divac for a 13 pick, as for the choice of Kobe, the Hornets only chose according to the Requirements of the Lakers, so the Hornets themselves did not lose, but the Lakers 13 picks to Kobe Bryant earned, so think, the Hornets may feel better.
From June 26 to July 11, the deal was reached, and Bryant and the Hornets still had a 16-day relationship. Therefore, some people say that Kobe Bryant is not a city for one person, and it seems that there is a certain truth.
Some people joked that James did not dare to go to the west, and the people still came behind. Some people also joke that Kobe Bryant does not dare to go to the east, and the starting point of people's careers is in the east.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="57" > Western Final</h1>
Kobe Bryant and the Hornets' fate is because of this transaction. And the better Kobe Bryant plays, the more the Hornets lose, the more the deal will be mentioned, and the gap between Kobe Bryant and the Hornets is about 2 words - The Western Conference.
Bryant reached the Western Conference Finals in the second year of his career, reaching the Western Conference Finals eight times in his career, and winning seven of them. Since 1996, there has only been one team in the West that has not reached the Western Conference Finals, and that is the New O'Neal Pelicans (Hornets). It was a coincidence, but it was also inadvertently, hurting the young mind of a wasp again.
In 2019, the Lakers traded Anthony Davis from the Pelicans (Hornets), and then the Lakers won the championship, and the Pelicans (Hornets) won the title. this......
Did you change your name to Pelican because you couldn't hide it, so you were branded? Pelicans for "Lake", you are the trumpet of the Lakers.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="60" > West-Boss</h1>
In the 2003-2004 season, Bryant scored the 12,000th career point on the Hornets, ending each other's initial stages, and then they entered a new era.
When did Kobe Bryant become the Lakers boss? Standard time should have started the 2004-2005 season, O'Neal was gone, and that was Kobe's time.
When did the Hornets move to the West, also for the 2004-2005 season. The Wasp went west and Bryant was the boss, which was another coincidence.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="20" > no more than one point</h1>
At that time, the network was still relatively developed, and I had the privilege of watching the live broadcast of the next three games of Kobe Bryant's 4 consecutive 50+, and the fourth game was against the Hornets, which can be said to be another miracle witnessed by the Hornets. Interestingly, these 4 consecutive 50+, against the Timberwolves, Kobe Bryant actually relied on garbage time to brush 2 points to reach 50 points; and against the Grizzlies, Kobe Bryant did not have a soft hand, slashing 60 points; but against the Hornets, Kobe Bryant only needed 50 points, 1 point is not much, 1 point is not much, in the game with 5 minutes and 13 seconds left, Kobe Bryant hit two points, the score reached 50 points, after which Kobe Bryant only shot once failed to hit, and also gave Kwame Brown an assist.
< h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="63" > West First and MVP</h1>
That's right, Bryant's first and only MVP of his career, the Hornets continue to grab the camera. That year, the Lakers finally rose, the Hornets actually rose at the same time, and even once competed with the Lakers for the first place in the West, if it was not the last time the Lakers won by 3 points, then the first place in the West is really difficult to say.
And Kobe Bryant took the MVP from the Hornets' boss Chris Paul, this MVP, there are still many people who have opinions, but no matter what, the data is almost the same, the Lakers are the first in the West, and Kobe Bryant has no problem taking the MVP.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="65" > nine consecutive wins in the playoff series</h1>
The biggest disruption in Bryant's career was a 9-game winning streak in the playoff series in 2009-11, and the final winning streak was the Hornets. In the 10-11 season, Bryant and the Hornets played each other for the only time in the playoffs, and the results were not suspenseful, and the Lakers, who aspired to win three consecutive championships, beat the Hornets 4:2 and won nine consecutive games in the playoff series to advance to the semifinals. Kobe Bryant averaged 22.5 points per game, which is not very good, but 2 dunks are still good, after which Kobe Bryant's playoff series record is only 1 win and 2 losses.
This, probably another kind of fate, defeated the "old owner" Kobe Bryant, began to go downhill.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="67" > basketball reason</h1>
Sorry, play an advertisement, this is also the reason for my account name @ basketball.
Paul + Harden = No. 1 in the West + No. 1 in the West
Paul + Booker = Finals + Runner-up
What about Paul + Kobe? The possibilities are endless. Not possible because of basketball reasons. In 2011, the Lakers sent Odom and Gasol to Get Chris Paul, but was eventually stopped trading by Stern, and then Odom was depressed and eventually sent to the Mavericks. This is the real reason for Kobe's decline, when the wasp "for the lake" can not be replaced by the lake, Kobe Bryant can not do anything.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="71" >30,000 points</h1>
In the 12-13 season, Bryant hit a breakthrough throw against the Hornets and scored more than 30,000 career points.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="40" > Pelican-Kick Lake</h1>
In fact, the story of Kobe Bryant and Charlotte Wasp would be better if it ended in the front. When the Hornets changed their name to the Pelicans, Kobe Bryant's record against the Pelicans was only 2 wins and 5 losses, and Kobe Bryant did not play in the playoffs again, and was injured big - small - major injuries until retirement.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="77" > the last sentence</h1>
Kobe Bryant's career has three stages: the second oldest - the peak boss - the pension boss;
The history of wasps has three stages: Charlotte Wasps - New Orleans Wasps - New Orleans Pelicans;
In 2004, the Hornets moved west, and Kobe Bryant became the boss; in 2013, the Hornets changed to Pelicans, and Kobe Bryant's Achilles tendon broke;
This is the story of Kobe Bryant and the Wasp, the fate of Kobe Bryant and the Wasp.
