My Name is Kobe Bryant

After harvesting an easy victory in icy Minnesota, he took a flight to Denver Plateau early the next morning.

The Denver Rockets were once one of the founding teams of the ABA. After joining the NBA in 1974, they changed their name to the Nuggets because Denver once discovered gold mines.

In the 1980s, the Denver team led by English averaging 28.4 points per game, Vandeweghe averaging 24.7 points per game, and Issel's 21.6 points per game. They entered the playoffs every year. There is no doubt that in the 1980s, the Denver Nuggets were one of the representatives of offensive basketball.

The 1977-78 and 1984-85 seasons reached the NBA Western Conference Finals twice. The Nuggets won the first place in the Midwest in their first year in the NBA, and their attendance rate ranks first in the NBA. Since then, the arrival of English has made the Nuggets an attacking team. In the 1980-1981 season, the Nuggets averaged 122.3 points per game. Since that season, the Nuggets have averaged more than 120 points for five consecutive seasons.

Especially in the 1981-1982 season, the Nuggets averaged 126.5 points per game, which is still an NBA record.

As English aged, the team dropped to 20 wins and 60 losses in the 1990-91 season, creating a seven-game losing streak at the beginning of the season. For the first time in ten years since 1981, they did not make the playoffs.

At the end of the season, the team selected the African Uncle Mu, Dikambe Mutombo. This rookie who can't tell his age played a dominant penalty area defense in his rookie season.

Although Uncle Mu is not strong, he even looks skinny compared to some big American centers. But his tenacious willpower and excellent agility made him quickly become a top inside gate.

In the 1993-94 season, the Nuggets ended the regular season with 42 wins and 40 losses, and entered the playoffs with eighth place. But the Nuggets beat the Sonics 3-2 in the first round of the playoffs, becoming the first team in NBA history to beat the No. 1 seed as the No. 8 seed. The Nuggets eventually reached the Western Conference semifinals, but unfortunately lost to the Utah Jazz with a total score of 3-4 in the semifinals.

The scene of Uncle Mu covering the sky under the basket and blocking Payton and Kemp in succession has become an eternal miracle in the hearts of fans.

In the 94-95 season, Dan Issel resigned at 18 wins and 16 losses, and assistant coach Keen Littles was appointed as the interim head coach, but since then the Nuggets have a record of 3 wins and 13 losses. Kerstaff took over on February 20 and remained in charge for the rest of the season. In the end, the Nuggets had a record of 41 wins and 41 losses and won tickets to the playoffs on the last day of the regular season.

But was swept out by the Spurs in the first round of the playoffs. But in the Nuggets, Mutombo ranked first in the league with 3.91 blocks, and averaged 12.5 rebounds per game, second in the league, and won the honor of the best defensive player. The Nuggets are the only team with seven players averaging double figures.

This all-people team collapsed in the 95-96 season, 35 wins and 47 losses and did not enter the playoffs. At the end of the season, the Nuggets announced to rebuild again, did not renew the contract with Uncle Mu, and at the same time traded away a large number of talented players.

The Nuggets this season have become a fish belly, currently ranked 11th in the Western Conference with 16 wins and 33 losses, and they are currently preparing to compete for Victor Flying White Devil.

The unsolvable offensive basketball has disappeared, and their season scoring average is only 97.8 points. And the opponent can score 104.1 points on them.

Since he just defeated the Timberwolves yesterday and flew from the north to the plains of Denver, the spirit of every player is not good, so Harris did not specially arrange tactics for Denver.

The Lakers players took off from Apollos, Minnesota in the morning and arrived at Denver International Airport at noon.

Finding a restaurant to feast on meat-eaters, the Lakers headed to McNichols Stadium.

The game started at night as usual, and the strong and weak confrontation of this game did not attract much media attention. The local fans weren't very enthusiastic either, with plenty of seats vacant at McNichols Stadium.

"My dear, this is the first time I have played in a gymnasium with so few people." Xiaoyu looked around. Wherever the Lakers went in the past, tickets were mostly robbed. It is really rare to leave a vacant seat. .

"This is the tragedy of the fans of a bad team. Bad performance is sacrificing the support of the fans. The worse the team, the fewer people will watch it. This is especially true for teams in such small markets."

"I hope that during our years with the Lakers, there will be no day when the team is bad. I really can't imagine how the fans in the Great Western Forum will think of us if we are bad." Xiaoyu said with emotion.

Kobe secretly thought-in this life, I will not let the Lakers have bad days again!

At the start of the game, the Lakers' starting lineup remained unchanged.

The Nuggets started PG Anthony Goldwyer SG Dale Ellis SF Rafonso Ellis PF Antonio McDyess C Elvin Johnson.

On the trade deadline, the Indiana Pacers traded Eddie Johnson, Vincent Asko and the 1997 second round to the Denver Nuggets for Mark Jackson and LaSalle Thompson.

With the departure of Mark Jackson, Anthony Goldwyer, an unknown teenager, was replaced.

Ben Wallace and Nuggets center, and Magician's namesake, Irvin Johnson jump ball.

Big Ben stomps on the ground violently! He jumped high and flew a basketball from the hands of a player who was about ten centimeters taller than him.

The Lakers' opening offense was a bit loose, and the focus was not high, and there were a few low-level pass errors. In the second half of the season, the mental and physical exhaustion of the players is obvious. At this time, playing back-to-back is prone to big ups and downs.

Fortunately, the enthusiasm of the Nuggets is not high. They have already targeted the draft picks. Even if the Lakers made a mistake, they did not seize the opportunity to fight back.

Kobe fed the ball to Eddie Jones, and Eddie Jones played easily against the 37-year-old Dale Ellis, scoring consecutive empty cuts to the basket.

The Nuggets' offense was a mess, old and small. Neither the team's overall offense nor star singles have the lethality to destroy the Lakers' defensive system.

In the substitute matchup, Dell Curry's integration is very obvious. Horry connected Curry and Fisher in series to beat the Denver Nuggets' rotation on the offensive end.

At halftime, the Lakers lead 51:39.

At the beginning of the second half, Kobe began to exert his strength and hit consecutive three-pointers.

The Nuggets' No. 2 pick in 1995, Antonio McDyess, stood up. This power forward who could contribute 18+7 in the second grade, scored consecutive inside points and continued his life for the team.

Kobe immediately increased his aggressiveness towards the Nuggets' ball-handling players, making consecutive steals and successfully counterattacking.

The game was over quickly, and the Lakers won another back-to-back away in Denver.

Los Angeles Lakers 114:76 Denver Nuggets.

Kobe scored a game-high 27 points, 6 rebounds, 8 assists, 3 steals, 1 block and 4 turnovers.

Eddie Jones broke out, scoring 24 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 steals.

Campbell had 17 points and 11 rebounds.

Dell Curry scored 14 points and 3 rebounds.

Horry scored 11 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists.

Fisher scored 10 points and 5 assists.

All people are soldiers! Six players scored in double figures, and the Lakers' team offensive system gradually took shape.
