My Name is Kobe Bryant

When the day of February 25th came, as the broadcaster of the NBA, ABC was extremely busy. This nationwide live broadcast, the battle between the Lakers and the Rockets has now become the most focused battle in the entire league! There were still more than two hours before the start of the game, and the TV station began to broadcast special live clips specially made for this game.

At this time, the highlights of the two teams this season began to be broadcast on the ABC TV screen. Kobe of the Lakers beat Olajuwon, challenged Jordan, single-handedly defended Malone and so on. On the Houston side, Olajuwon's beautiful low-post footsteps began to be played, flying Rodman, blocking Jordan, and the center fast-break with the ball.

Then the second clip began to play the Lakers' full-court press, OK connection, and Eddie Jones' air cut. Barkley's flying into the sky and escaping from the ground is extremely powerful, while Drexler's is flying like lightning.

Wonderful! Bravo!

The two teams, the Lakers and Houston, are the strongest team in the league, the strongest team in the Western Conference, and also the most gorgeous offensive team! No matter what kind of defense they face, the Lakers and Houston have a way to break through, either with excellent tactics or with the explosion of stars.

In particular, these two teams are still ranked in the top three in the league and the top two in the Western Conference. This can almost be said to be a preview of the Western Conference Finals. For the fans, for the league coaches, and for the league media, this game is a grand occasion!

The host on the TV is also introducing the background of the game between the Lakers and Houston, repeatedly preaching the power and legendary deeds of the stars of the two teams. The past honors of the team, the current record. And the result of their game, the impact on the league situation.

"Kobe has just become the youngest triple-double player! And defeated Ewing when everyone was not optimistic! As a big four center, can the big dream wash away the shame and respond to Kobe's provocation of the lore at the beginning of the season?"

"The current record of the Lakers is 48 wins and 6 losses, and Houston's record is 46 wins and 9 losses. The outcome of this game affects the ranking of the No. opponents. No one will take it lightly in such a battle."

"The Lakers have a better record, but there is one thing that everyone needs to be clear about. The Lakers have lost two of the ten games O'Neal has left! Although the winning rate is as high as 80%, it has declined compared to their previous record and team performance. Seriously, how far can the Lakers go without the youngest 50 superstars in the NBA? On the other hand, when Jim Jackson was taken to Houston by Houston, their record was 24 wins and 3 losses! An exaggerated winning percentage! They In the 24 victories, there are many strong teams such as the Bulls, Sonics, and Jazz. The current Houston is eyeing the No. 1 position in the Western Conference, and Olajuwon is also eyeing the MVP position!"

"There is one more thing to note. The third-ranked Jazz in the Western Conference has an excellent record of 43 wins and 12 losses. It is hard to say whether the Jazz can catch up in the final sprint. Both the Lakers and Houston have injuries. Barker, who has just returned from injury Lee is in average form and has not fully integrated into the team. The 34-year-old Olajuwon has also suffered from severe physical exertion during this period. On the other side, the Lakers' O'Neal is still a long time away from returning from injury. These two teams Whether the team can have the last laugh is still unknown."

"If Malone can lead the team to complete the overtake, Malone may have a better chance of winning the MVP if he averaged 27.4 points, 9.9 rebounds and 4.5 assists in 36.6 minutes per game, scoring third this season!"

"Unless it surpasses 72 wins, the league will not give Jordan an MVP. In the West, O'Neal has been injured for a long time, and basically bid farewell to the MVP competition. And Kobe is young, and the league cannot give him the MVP. There is an 18-year-old MVP leader. The consequences are simply unimaginable. The only remaining MVP contenders are Olajuwon and Malone."

"The two have their own strengths. Malone's personal performance is more stable, and his average data per game is better. Olajuwon's key battles are better, and the team's record is better. So the next 20 games will enter the white-hot Western Conference. The battle, and the MVP battle!

The Lakers and their team arrived in Houston by flight as early as the day before the game.

The next day, the Lakers arrived early at home in Houston. And before this nationally-watched game started, the reporters frantically interviewed several players. Kobe and Olajuwon couldn't escape, and they were the absolute protagonists of this game.

"Hakeem is very strong! I defeated Jordan in the All-Star Game with him, and I respect his professional attitude and court strength." Kobe replied in this way. With less communication, the two of them seem to have forgotten their friendship.

"Kobe? He will be the strongest player after Michael and I retire." Olajuwon has already relied heavily on Kobe, and it is rare to hear the proud Olajuwon praise other players.

"Yeah, I also want to appear on the court. We won Houston once at the beginning of the season, and I beat Olajuwon to the ground. As long as I appear on the court, Houston will not be able to win the Lakers!" O'Neal connected through the air, After recovering well from the surgery, he was interviewed by the media at home.

"Kobe, you don't really want to win, do you?" Barkley said sarcastically in an interview.

The smell of gunpowder is very strong!

This game means a lot to everyone in Houston!

Beat the Lakers, and Olajuwon can prove that he is better than Ewing and lead the MVP at the same time. And Barkley can prove that he has integrated into this championship team. The leadership can justify its own deal, and the operation of bringing the Big Three couldn't be more reasonable.

The Lakers' internal defects are too big, so big that they can be seen with the naked eye. Professionals and non-professionals alike will be aware of the Lakers' weaknesses.

The weakness of the Lakers is precisely Houston's strength.

The Houston players played in turn, and the landslide and tsunami in the arena made the Lakers players understand that this is far from a regular season.

When Olajuwon walked into the court with domineering steps. The cheers reached a climax.

The situation when the Lakers played is completely different.

Boo!

Kobe Bryant walked into the court amidst the loudest boos, and couldn't help feeling a little nostalgic for those glorious years at Houston's red home court.

The game is about to start, and the Lakers' starting lineup has not changed. Even everyone, including Kobe, knows that this set of starters will be blown up. Harris still hasn't made any adjustments.

On the other side, Houston's starting lineup is PG Jim Jackson SG Mario Elie SF Clyde Drexler PF Charles Barkley C Hakeem Olajuwon.

In this lineup, the position is actually very random, and the point guard does not necessarily hold the ball too much. Ball handlers can change almost at any time. The extremely strong defensive pressure inside and outside, combined with the unsolvable singles of the stars, has built Houston's offensive and defensive system.
