Chapter 725: By the end, Kobe had already scored 37 points, along with 6 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals, and 2 blocks

He had almost dominated the offense and defense by himself.

And under his aggressive offense, the Lakers also beat the Rockets by 14 points.

In the final quarter.

Kobe, who wanted to win too much and wanted to prove himself too much, returned to the court after resting for only two minutes.

He led the team on a 9:2 offensive storm, instantly expanding the lead to 21 points.

During this period, Kobe also scored 5 points.

Although there was still half a quarter left.

The Rockets had already given up the struggle, called a timeout, pulled their starters, put in their substitutes, and abandoned the game early.

The Lakers gave them face, also substituting five in and five out, letting the game completely fall into garbage time.

Tonight, Kobe played for three and a half quarters, exploding for 42 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals, and 2 blocks.

Another gorgeous 40+ performance show, announcing his return as a king in the new season.

Ultimately.

The Lakers won their season opener with a big 18-point victory.

Post-game.

Kobe said in an interview, "I know there are many dissatisfied voices about me from the outside.

But that's okay.

I will use my strength to prove myself; without Shaquille, I can still play very well, I can still lead the team to win, and even... win the championship!!!"

The reporter nodded with a smile, "Kobe's first game of the new season was indeed good, presenting your talent and strength to the fullest!

Looking forward to your even more brilliant performance in the rest of the new season."

42 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals, 2 blocks.

In just one game, Kobe used his absolute super strength and highly watchable style of play.

To make some fans who originally hated him like him again.

To make fans who were already his fans like Kobe even more, and become even more obsessed with Kobe's skills and style.

For a time. ===== CHAPTER 727 =====
