How popular is Kobe Bryant in the 08 Olympics in Chinese?

2008 was undoubtedly a special year for Kobe, who won the first regular season MVP of his career; Together with his sister-in-law and putting the Lakers back on track, although they lost to the Celtics in the Finals, it was not bad. We all know that Kobe's popularity in China has always been very high, coupled with his personal performance in 08, it can be said that his popularity has reached a new peak.

At the opening ceremony, he was the only foreign athlete with a close-up shot of nearly 10 seconds, and when the camera was given to Kobe, tens of thousands of people in the audience began to cheer, and the audience in front of the TV could feel the shock through the screen. When there was no game, Kobe Bryant walked on the street and there were onlookers shouting MVP, and everywhere he went, there must be traffic jams. It is said that a national team player went to Kobe Bryant for an autograph with his sneakers, but was angrily reprimanded by the head coach.

When Kobe Bryant went to watch other games, most of the audience stopped watching the games, but watched Kobe, and even took photos with him. Kaman, Germany, recalls the Olympics, saying, "I swear, I saw thousands of people running after Kobe Bryant, and I was like, 'Oh God!'" What are we going to do?

> Wade also expressed all kinds of envy and jealousy for Kobe, he said that when the American team just got off the plane, he was very happy to see the fans rushing to him, but later he learned that the fans were all coming to see Kobe, and he ignored himself and James, and rushed to Kobe Bryant behind him.

What else can be said? He's Kobe!

How high is Kobe Bryant in the 08 Olympics!

It can be said that it shocked the entire dream team!!

Kobe Bryant led the team alone to compete with the Celtics Big Three in the Finals, and in the end Kobe Bryant led the Lakers to fail to defeat the Green Army, but his fighting spirit and perseverance conquered countless fans!

At the end of the season, Bryant traveled to China with the Dream Team to participate in the Beijing Olympics, and let's see what his teammates and coaches have to say.

D'Antoni, who was an assistant coach for the Dream Team at the time, said

The U.S. delegation had to walk about 250 meters to reach the opening ceremony. There are about 500 people in our group, and the place we pass by has long been surrounded by three layers of fans. There were staff, volunteers, and fans.

The guys chanted 'Kobe, Kobe,' and it was deafening and everyone could hear it. ”

Kobe's former teammate Carman recalled the '08 Olympics and said

I was playing for Germany with Nowitzki at the '08 Olympics and it was an incredible show. During the Olympics, everyone was dressed in weird colors, with supervisors in red, volunteers in blue, and administrators in yellow. And all the people in blue were chasing Kobe, and I was like, 'Oh my God!'

What are we going to do? I swear, I saw thousands of people running after Kobe. ”

And Uncle Wei is more sincere:

The best way to get away from the crowd is to stay away from Kobe.

His main task this time was to defend.

But the score is also good.

An average of 14 points per game.

No. 22 against Argentina 12 points.

20 points against Australia.

18 points against Germany.

16 points against Spain 11 points.

14 points against Greece 18 points.

12 points against Angola 8.

After 6 games, Kobe Bryant played a total of 129 minutes and scored 88 points. He ranks behind James (95 points) and Wade (89 points) in total points, but it is worth mentioning that he played less minutes than James (144 minutes).

On August 24, Beijing time, the men's basketball finals of the 2008 Beijing Olympics ended, let's analyze and compare the data comparison between Kobe Bryant and Jordan Olympics. Through data comparison, it is not difficult to find that Kobe Bryant has completed the surpassing of Jordan in the Mengyi period. Jordan led Mengyi to create the myth of American basketball, and Kobe Bryant led Mengyi to reshape the American myth, surpassing Jordan on the day he was 30 years old and reaching the pinnacle of world basketball.

That crazy dream team in 1992, Jordan was in 8 games.

In the game, he shot 51-of-113 from the field, 4-of-19 from three-point range, 21% from the field, 13-of-19 from the free-throw line, 19 rebounds per game, 119 points per game, 38 assists per game, 37 steals per game, 4 blocks per game.

In the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, Kobe Bryant shot 48 of 104 in 8 games, shooting percentage, 17 of 53 three-point shots, shooting percentage, 7 of 12 free throws, shooting percentage, 120 points in total, 15 points averaged, 22 rebounds in total, 17 assists per game, 9 steals per game, average, 4 blocks in total.

It is not difficult to see from the comparison of Kobe Bryant's data with Jordan that Kobe Bryant almost wants to wait with Jordan of Mengyi in terms of scoring. Considering that Jordan was in Mengyi, the world basketball environment at that time was dominated by the United States, and the opponent almost fought against Mengyi with reverence. At the 2008 Beijing Olympics, the opponent was no longer afraid of the Dream Eight pair, and could even wrestle with the Dream Eight.

In other words, Bryant's defense at this Olympics far exceeded the intensity of Jordan's defense in his dreams.

When it comes to defense and organizing the team's offense, Jordan has the highest average steals and the second-highest assists, so it can be said that Jordan has performed impeccable and perfect in both offense and defense. And Kobe Bryant's average assists and steals are not as good as Jordan's, but at critical moments, Kobe can always launch Dream Eight's overall attack to defeat the opponent. In defense, everyone can feel that the biggest change that Kobe Bryant brought to Mengba is not on offense, but on the defensive end.

Led by Kobe, Dream Eight's defense has made a qualitative leap, and Kobe Bryant has gone all out to defend even those nobodies.

Jordan was the star of the stars at the Barcelona Olympics, but Bryant surpassed Jordan at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. In three-point shooting, Kobe Bryant was slightly better than Jordan. Kobe's three-point shooting rate is indeed much better than Jordan's 21% shooting rate.

Dream Eight Kobe's leadership skills have also been proven. Although Mengyi is a star-studded group, today's Mengba is also a big name. And the pressure on Menghachi's back is far more than Yumeichi, the basketball opponent on the Barcelona court is basically not decent, the opponent is not playing against the United States, but enjoying the performance of Jordan and Yumeichi, Yumeichi just uses the Barcelona Olympics as a performance stage.

Dream Eight faced a strong opponent and even encountered stubborn resistance from Spain in the final, and Bryant turned all this pressure into combat power to lead the U.S. men's basketball team to regain world basketball dominance at the Beijing Olympics.

Kobe Bryant's stats at the 2008 Olympics: 48-of-104 shooting, 17-of-53 three-pointers, 7-of-12 free throws, 120 points, 15 points average, 22 rebounds per game; 17 assists per game; Total steals 9 times averaged.

Kobe Bryant is one of the NBA's best scorers, with 5 NBA championships, 2 FMVPs (Finals Most Valuable Player), one MVP (Regular Season Most Valuable Player), and 17 consecutive All-Star selections. The step-back jumper is his signature scoring tool, and he is well-rounded and entertaining to play.

No. 22 against Argentina 12 points.

20 points against Australia.

18 points against Germany.

16 points against Spain 11 points.

14 points against Greece 18 points.

If it is the Beijing Olympics, he is naturally a well-deserved number one superstar, and not only in the field of basketball, it can be said that Kobe Bryant is the most popular sports star in the Beijing Olympics, and even comparable to Liu Huan Sarah Brightman who sang the theme song at that time in some aspects.

The reasons are as follows: 1. At the opening ceremony, the main screen of the Bird's Nest made an eight-second close-up for Kobe, and Kobe Bryant also posed in front of the screen, which led to the applause of the audience, which was a unique honor at the opening ceremony.

2, during the Olympic Games, CCTV's "High-end Interview" program invited Kobe, hosted by Shui Junyi, and the two talked one-on-one, which was a unique honor in the context of the Olympic Games at that time.

3. In the men's basketball finals that year, when Kobe Bryant made free throws, he could still hear the audience shouting "MVP", this is Beijing, not Los Angeles!

4, Kobe donated five million US dollars to the Wenchuan ** disaster area before the Beijing Olympics, this has been confirmed by CCTV, Kobe is American, not Chinese, you can see how much money local Chinese stars donated at that time, and then think about whether they will donate money if the United States blows a typhoon, you can know the significance of Kobe's donation, this move has also accumulated considerable popularity for him!

Yes, Kobe Bryant has been named China's most popular star for consecutive years.

The boss's influence in China is extraordinary

The personal data of the 12 Kobe London Olympics are as follows:

He averaged 8 points per game, fourth among the U.S. team.

'08 was Bryant's only Olympic appearance.

In 2000, at the age of 21, Kobe Bryant won the first championship of his career. He had a chance to make the Dream Four team, but because he got married, he chose to stay in Los Angeles – and there are many cases of U.S. players refusing the national team for such reasons, which is different from our system. At that time, the Dream Team led by Carter and Garnett was still the public enemy of the world, and the reality of the Dream Four winning the championship did not break the dream of the Americans.

At this time, Kobe Bryant, although he was proud of the spring breeze on the field, broke with his parents because of his union with Vanessa.

In 2002, the Dream Five team led by Pierce became the Dream No Team, and the fiasco at home made many American ** and fans start to blame superstars who did not participate in the World Championships, such as Kobe. Kobe Bryant said that he is willing to play for the national team and regroup for the United States to recover the country.

However, the Eagle County incident after the end of the 2002-2003 season kicked off Kobe's "fall". Next season, the Lakers' four kings gathered but lost to the Pistons, and then O'Neal traveled east, and the Malone peach incident and the Lakers missed the playoffs ......In the face of unprecedented accusations and abuse, Kobe Bryant's career fell to its lowest point.

In the 2004 Athens Olympics, Kobe Bryant missed the competition because of sexual harassment, and the Dream Six team led by Iverson and Duncan only won the third place in Athens, and the self-confidence of Americans suffered the most serious blow. Just as Kobe Bryant's life fell to a freezing point, Americans' self-confidence is at its lowest - they have sent out a lot of A-listers.

In 2006, the Dream Seven team led by the NBA 03 ** generation missed the championship again at the World Championships in Japan. Kobe Bryant, after several seasons of struggle and washing all the lead, finally appeared on the field of the Dream Eight team in the Americas Championship, and after defeating Argentina, Dream Eight won the first championship.
