My Name is Kobe Bryant

On January 10, 1997, at the Great Western Forum, the Los Angeles Lakers played against the Miami Heat at home.

The collision of No. 1 in the West and No. 3 in the East was a national live broadcast brought by NBC, which attracted a lot of attention from the media and fans before the game.

The game is about to start, but under the lighting atmosphere of Zijin, the coaches of the two teams are chatting.

"Harris, you've done a great job with the Lakers." Pat Riley, with his back hair, a black suit, and the look of a gangster, and Harris have known each other for a long time. As the top coaches who have also been active in the league since the 1980s, their grievances and hatreds run through the history of the NBA.

There are not many coaches in the league that Pat Riley can look up to, and Silver Fox Harris is exactly the one Riley admires very much.

"Shaq and Kobe are good boys, I just let them find what they should do." Harris smiled slightly, and he was very grateful for Riley's praise.

"I've watched the Lakers' games recently. Several of your tactics are very interesting, especially the elevator, explosive serve, and all-out shots are very imaginative. After the game, let's go to the bar to have a good chat!" Pat Riley eyes Taking the light, he eagerly wanted to ask Silver Fox Harris some tactical ideas.

I want to say that many of them were made by Kobe, do you believe it?

With a helpless face, Harris still agreed. As Pat Riley was in the SHOWTIME era of the Lakers, Harris also wanted to ask how to make Kobe and O'Neal play better to the greatest extent.

Harris is quite satisfied with the Lakers' current tactical mix. Kobe and O'Neal are not invincible at present. O'Neal has been swept out of the playoffs for many years, and Kobe is still a rookie.

The two of them paired together seemed a bit incomprehensible. If O'Neal is locked inside, Kobe can often stand up and break the shackles. Kobe was flanked, and O'Neal was able to call the shots inside again.

Isn't this the composition of the Lakers team in the SHOWTIME era? Magician and Skyhook played in the same way back then. Magician won the championship in his first year as a rookie. Harris did not expect Kobe to be the peak of rookie like Magician. After all, the age of entering the league is different.

If West is getting a player like James Worthy, will the team be invincible?

The person who knows SHOWTIME best is Pat Riley, the fortune teller who founded the dynasty. Harris has a lot of questions for this team that claims to be the most offensive team in history.

Pat Riley is also very interested in the combination of Kobe and O'Neal. There are many things he wants to discuss with Harris. The two old enemies are also old friends. They meet for a drink after the game.

. . .

"Gentlemen and ladies, welcome to today's National Basketball Association. This is the national live broadcast brought by NBC. We will soon bring you the match between the Miami Heat and the Los Angeles Lakers. I am your good friend Jim Fagan!" Jim Fagan, known as the voice behind "This is the NBA on NBC", is one of NBC's ace commentators.

"Hi everyone, I'm Elvin Johnson. I'm very happy to bring you the commentary of this Lakers game." The magician partnered with him in this game.

"Very good! The number one Kobe fan, Mr. Magician, Kobe and the Lakers are doing very well recently. Do you have any opinions about the Lakers?"

"The Lakers have made good progress recently. They have only lost one game to the Trail Blazers in the past month. If they continue to maintain their form and avoid injuries, O'Neal and Kobe may win the first league championship for the first time in their careers. Shaq is also very likely to take the MVP in my arms."

"It's true that even though Shaq didn't have, and didn't need to put up, a huge individual show, a Lakers win would have a positive impact on his MVP rating."

"If we say that the player with the best performance in the league now, I think it is Grant Hill of the Pistons. He led a group of veterans to the second place in the Eastern Conference. The peak performance of this kind of leadership is nothing more than Jordan in the early years."

"Hill is often compared with Michael Jordan this season, but in the Christmas game, Hill's performance against Pippen disappointed the people who supported him."

"It's very normal, whether it's Hill, Penny, or Kobe. These top perimeter players in the league, facing the Bulls' Harper Jordan Pippen's three top defensive gates, it is difficult to play normally. The perimeter defense is the Bulls If there is a player who can break through the Bulls' perimeter defense with his own strength, then the Bulls' defensive system will collapse. Of course, no one in the current league can do this."

"MAGIC, can you do it at the peak?"

"Of course I can! At my peak, I am the best player in history!" It is still unclear who is the best player in history, whether it is Chamberlain Russell in ancient times, the magician and Big Bird in the 1980s, or Jordan Their historical status is almost the same.

You must know that the magician has 5 rings, and the ones won by the Celtic dynasty and the Piston dynasty are full of gold.

There is no problem with the magician thinking that he is the first in history.

"Yasi, do you believe that the Bulls can't defend against the Lakers of the SHOWTIME dynasty?"

"The showtime at its peak is not afraid of any team, even the 72-win Bulls." In any era, the discussion of Guan Gong's battle with Qin Qiong will happen repeatedly.

"That's right brother. I believe in your MAGIC." The game was about to start, and Jim Fagan quickly brought the topic back.

"The Lakers' starting lineup has not changed, and Harris is very satisfied with his starting players." Harris' transfer of the team lineup this season is very fixed.

"The starting lineup selected by the Miami Heat is PG Tim Hardaway SG Voshan Leonard SF Dan Marley PFP.J-Brown C Alonzo Mourning."

"A very good offensive and defensive lineup, especially the inside combination of PJ Brown and Mourning, can be called the league's first inside defensive combination. I believe Shaq must have a headache today."

"The Heat's opponents scored only 32 points in the restricted area, which is far below the league average. There is really no other inside combination that has height, speed, and power."

"The referee called the players to the midfield, the game is about to start, let us wait and see the performance of the players!"
