Kobe Teaching A New Kind Of Math

LOS ANGELES -- You might want to double-check the numbers because I never was very good at math, but I'm pretty confident that 23 points is better than 81 points.

It's impossible to see Bryant wearing the Lakers' white jersey against Toronto and not think of that Sunday night, Jan. 22, 2006, when he went Wilt and scored 81 against the Raptors. But it was also impossible to watch Bryant rack up 23 points and seven assists Sunday and not believe this version of Bryant is better and these Lakers are better for it, even if the NBA doesn't crank out a bunch of T-shirts to commemorate the occasion.

Here's some more counterintuitive logic: If you care one bit about winning, you don't want to be on the NBA's Top 10 single-game scoring list. None of the players on it -- Bryant, Wilt Chamberlain, Elgin Baylor, David Thompson and David Robinson -- made it to the NBA Finals in the same season in which they set their marks. Chamberlain's name pops up three times for the 1962-63 season and that San Francisco Warriors team didn't even make the playoffs.

It's obvious that any team so dependent on one player can't be very good. It goes against the basic elements of the sport. Not that it kept Bryant from trying in the past. But if you're going to channel Chamberlain it can lead you off the championship parade route and isolate you from the NBA's circle of winners. Unless you learn the lessons: The first time Chamberlain's scoring average dropped below 20 points just so happened to coincide with the first time an NBA team won 69 games in a season.

Another test came this weekend, a measure of Bryant's progress and priorities. He had a chance to surpass Chamberlain in the scoring section of the NBA record book, a place Chamberlain's name appears so frequently you'd think he kept buying property there and naming it after himself, like Donald Trump. If Bryant could get to 38 points Sunday he would have reached 22,000 at the age of 30 years and 99 days, beating Chamberlain by one day to become the youngest to achieve that mark in league history.

Lakers coach Phil Jackson didn't like that the Los Angeles Times made a note of it, calling it akin to dangling "a carrot in front of the donkey."

"Who did that?" Jackson demanded in mock anger. "What a stupid thing. That could really mess up the game."

He was joking. Kind of.

"Kobe does have agendas at times," Jackson said. "He could get into that. We hope that he stays focused on what the overall plan is."

Bryant seems almost overdue for an outburst -- be it scoring or verbal. He doesn't often allow too much time to pass without somehow inserting himself into the headlines. He managed to upstage the NFL conference championships with his 81-point performance in '06. And it was only last year, when LeBron James was staking a claim to be the new face of the league by hauling his Cavaliers into the NBA Finals, that Bryant hijacked the summer with his public trade demands.

Hmm, LeBron sure seemed to be stealing a lot of attention in his last visit to New York to play the cap-clearing Knicks. How would Kobe respond?

As it turns out, with a whisper. The only thing loud about him and the Lakers is their neon 14-1 record after beating the Raptors.

Bryant had the chance to usurp Wilt. And he passed. Again and again and again, setting a tone that led to a season-high 34 assists for the Lakers.

He had as many assists as field goal attempts (three) in the first quarter, but still managed to score nine points thanks to five free throws. That's the thing. He still gets his points, just not in huge quantities. He cruises along, then takes an "early offense" turnaround jumper before the Raptors can get back on defense, runs out to get a long pass from Luke Walton for an easy basket, then gets out on the fast break and catches a feed from Lamar Odom for another bucket and all of a sudden Bryant's sitting on 21 points at halftime.

"You pick your spots a little bit," Bryant said, "which I'm able to do with this ballclub, as opposed to the past where you start the game and you've got to have your foot on the gas for 48 minutes."

It was only 30 minutes Sunday night, as the reserves had things in hand well enough for him to sit out the entire fourth quarter. He didn't check back in to knock out 15 quick points to dethrone Chamberlain.

If anyone took the bait, Bryant said, it was the reporters.

"Phil likes giving you guys quotes just to mess with you guys and you guys bite that stuff all the time," Bryant said. "At some point you guys have to figure out that he does that just to mess with you.

"I never concerned myself with milestones or any of that. Honestly, if I cared about that I would have went to college and came in the league and averaged 30 and got my scoring up."

Well, he did seem to notice when he had a string of 40-point games that reached seven in 2003, or the time he just happened to score 42 points in the first half (55 for the game) the last time he went up against Michael Jordan in 2003.

But he did sit out the fourth quarter with a comfortable lead against the Dallas Mavericks when he was sitting on 62 points in 2005 -- and actually caught a little criticism for not going back in and scoring more. And he has certainly made scoring secondary throughout this season. He's down four points from last season's average of 28 per game. In fact, the top nine scorers from last season's team have lower averages than last season (except Jordan Farmar, who is the same).

The lessons, clearly, have been about moving the ball around and playing better defense. And Bryant is the primary pupil.

"He knows that he is on a better basketball team," Raptors coach Sam Mitchell said. "He understands that he doesn't have to try to score every time down the court, that he has guys he can defer to and get the ball to."

The word Bryant kept using was easier. Fewer forced shots, fewer attempts to take on entire defenses on his own.

"You get in the lane I can kick it out to shooters and we have great shooters and great playmakers," he said. "It makes it a lot easier for me to penetrate and kick and the defense is scratching their head because they don't know what to do. As opposed to in the past where I had to get in there and pull up and shoot the shot."

Jackson doesn't think we've seen the last of Bryant's scoring outbursts.

"If we need it and he has to unleash it, he may have a game like that, where he has to take a big part of the game scoring on," Jackson said.

But Bryant is being realistic. Most defensive game plans against the Lakers contain some variant of the phrases "swarm Kobe" or "blitz Kobe" at the top of the to-do list. It isn't worth the fight anymore. He tried it and kept winding up at home in June.

Lakers fans still hunger to see Bryant score. In the third quarter a long rebound came out to Bryant beyond the 3-point arc. He settled everyone down, drove into the lane, leaped ... and passed. The crowd groaned as the ball flew into the hands of Vladimir Radmanovic. But Radmanovic drilled a 3-pointer.

New math or old math, three is better than two. （漂亮的结尾）

Yao Ming

Yao Ming, 2002 first selected by Honston Rocket, is a seven six feet player from China. Before Yao entered NBA, Yao was unstoppable in CBA, average 39 points and 20 rebounds also have 7 block shots per game, this is a unbelievable stat. But, Yao wasn't adapt to NBA quickly, he only got two rebounds in his first game, and never got double figure score in first ten games in his career. Once, Yao pack up the worst first overall pick in the NBA, and even Charlie Barkley promised if Yao got over 20 points in this season, he would kiss the ass. This was a crul hit for a player just entered NBA, but Yao didn't give up, instead, he practised day and night. Finally, he shoot nine of nine against Lakers, and got 20 points. Charlie Barkley keep his promise and kissed a ass which would be one of the most funny joke in NBA. Then, Yao got better and better, he started to have some new skills, like left hand hook, baseline move, and dunk over people. He gave O'Neal 5 blocks who said he would beat Yao easily before the game when the Rocket against the world champion Lakers. After the first year, Yao can get average 13 points and around 8 rebound per game, shooting nearly fivety person. Then Yao got stronger and better, His stat up to 17+9 in the second year, and up to 18.5+8 in the third year and he got all those stat in 30 minutes which is amazing. This year Honstong made a big trade to got T-Mac which was the two NBAscoring champ. Yao and T-mac lead the Rocket team to get in the playoff, but unfortunetly, the Rocket loss 3-4 to the Mavs, and back to home in the first round. Then Yao suffered the injure, he missed about 30 games next three season, and Rocket keep falling in the first round. In 08-09 season was the most successful season for the Rocket because he got a smart trade to get Ron Artest, and Yao, T-Mac and Artest composed the big three to the rocket. But, unfortunetly, T-mac was injured, and Yao and Artest lead the Rocket keep moving and entered the playoff, the first round they faced trail blazers, a very young talent team lead by Brandon Roy, and Aldrige. Yao got 36 points and ten rebounds in the first game in potland, startled all the audience. Although after the first game, Yao had some frustration, struggling on the front defence, but Rocket beat the Blazers 4-2 and went to the second round first time in 12 years. Next round, they would face on the Lakers, a very experienced team lead by Kobe, Gasol. Yao Ming got 28 points and 10 rebounds in the first game beat the Lakers, but the bad things happen, Yao injured again, and the Rocket loss to the Laker 3-4.

Yao is the great player not showing on the basketball course, also he is the brige connect to western and eastern, most American don't know chinese very much, but Yao is the guy they can rely on to know more about chinese. A lot of NBA stars now have trip going to China, and have contract with chinese shoes company. Anyway, we are proud of Yao.
