Host: Kobe scored 62 points in the third quarter and others advised him to continue playing, but he insisted on not playing anymore
Recently, Lakers' celebrity and former Lakers head coach Byron Scott talked about Kobe in his program "Byron Scott 's Fast Break".
Host Jay Wagers: "In a game against the Dallas Mavericks, Kobe scored more than the Mavericks' team alone. I remember it was about 62 to 61? Kobe scored 62 in three quarters, which was the most domineering thing I've ever seen in my life. And the craziest thing is that he didn't finish the fourth quarter at all. He felt so hot that day. I think if he continued to play, he would definitely be able to surpass the 81 points that year. Phil didn't let him play again, just because In the fourth quarter, Phil looked at him. You also know that NBA coaches have their own rotation arrangements, right? The team was already leading by several tens of minutes at that time. Phil looked at Kobe and asked, 'Do you want to play again?' I was standing next to Kobe and he said, 'No, coach, I'm fine, let the young players get it done. '"
" At that time, Lamar Odom was also in the team, and Lamar was always encouraging him, and kept saying 'You're still there I can get more points, I can get more, I can get more, I can play quickly and continue playing. But Kobe said, 'No, I'm fine, I'll have a chance in the future'. Brian Shaw (the Lakers assistant coach at the time) also advised him to let him play again, but he still said, 'No, I'll have a chance in the future.'"
Scott: "Do you know, this can show how outrageous those who black Kobe are. They said, Kobe is too selfish, but he only has the eyes Win. If he was really selfish, he would definitely play again. Maybe he could get 85 points or 90 points. But he didn't, because he had already won the game. He always cared about winning the game. He could do anything to win, but the premise was to win the team. He scored 63 points, and the opponent only had 61 points, and he had completed his mission. The team was leading the double digits at the time, so why did he still play? What he cared about was winning the game, not personal data. "
