Kobe's NBA debut contributed an epic humorous scene.
For any other rookie, they would probably wish to find a hole to crawl into, impacting their game mindset to some extent.
Or become impatient, eager to showcase themselves, but instead end up making more mistakes on the court.
Kobe was originally a bit anxious inside; otherwise, he wouldn't have made such a foolish mistake.
The pressure coming from all directions still had an impact on him.
But after making a real mistake, Kobe instead calmed down.
He licked his lips, his mind shifted from just thinking about dunking to "defending Wilkins well."
The power of a role model is strong; Kobe grew up watching Gan Guoyang's games and knows that Ah Gan's defense is a true weapon.
Whenever the Trail Blazers were in trouble, with their offense in a slump, or reaching a critical point, Ah Gan always started with defense.
