1. 第一場對超音速的熱身賽
Kobe 一開賽前七投中六, 得到湖人第一節二十分得分的四分之三. 第三節打完時得到
二十九分, 全場三十五分. 另外他有四次失誤和五次犯規.
值得注意的地方:
．大概很難想像一支球隊的主將在熱身賽的第一場就上了四十一分鐘---根據 Seattle
Times, "41 hard-fought minutes"---是湖人真的人手太少 (主力球員有三個加上
George 一個因傷不能上場, Slava Medvedenko 打了三十三分鐘, Odom 也打了四十
分鐘), 還是 Rudy-T 要演練以 Kobe 為中心在場上的打法? 從上場時間來看 Rudy-T
並沒有給開季後主要 rotation 之外的球員太多上場時間.
．Kobe 這場比賽主打外圍, 沒有像之前設定的會從低位發動攻勢. 另外他在三分線外
出手十三球, 命中七球. 經過暑假的苦練和調整, 這季的外線初步看來滿值得期待的
---上個球季他的中距離和三分球都很差. 另外有看比賽的人表示 Kobe 投三分球看
起來很輕鬆, 可能是變強壯的緣故.
．受期待的新歐布連線還沒看到. 意指兩人間的配合比賽中不多.
另外這場比賽在 Arrowhead Pond 進行 (大家應該對這個地方不陌生吧), 開賽前 Kobe
用麥克風對現場一萬六千名球迷說, "It's going to be a great season." 他在球員
介紹時得到 Staples Center 等級的歡呼.
2. 當然是禪師啦
"No comment. I respect Phil as a coach and Shaq as a player. I'm a leader
now and I have to keep my focus towards the team. For my teammates. It's
about leadership."
這似乎變成 Kobe 現在面對俠客和禪師問題的標準答案.
另外被問到會不會去看十月二十一日上架的新書時, 他的回答是 "Why? "I'd rather
read 'Lord of the Rings' in one day."
湖人球團則發表了一份聲明表示日前刊出的部分內容中有與 (他們認知) 的事實有出入
的地方, 另外也提到有些事情是關起門來講的, 不過禪師把他搬上檯面. 摘要如下:
"in just the excerpts we've seen so far, there are several inaccuracies. We
are not going to get into specific instances or dissect the book; however
both readers and the media should accept that there are inaccuracies.
There are anecdotes that portray things that took place or were said in
private, closed-door meetings. While Phil has chosen to go public with some
of what took place in these meetings, we will respect the spirit of privacy
which we feel should be maintained and therefore will not respond to these
entries."
3. Rudy-T 和 Kobe
新教頭說他和 Kobe 的關係進展得非常好, 他從來沒和一位明星球員間的關係有這麼好
的開始. 他並且提到 Kobe 相當積極.
"I can't think of a better situation; I have not had this good a start with
a star player. Not to take anything away from the guys that I have had. He's
been proactive. He's gone out and made the calls, he's called my assistant
coaches ... He's been great.'
