My Name is Kobe Bryant

"Win! We made history!"

On April 19, 1998, the Lakers players cheered!

Amid the laughter of the Lakers players, Kobe and O'Neal threw their head coach Harris high into the sky.

February belongs to the Lakers, March belongs to the Jazz, then the whole of April is a carnival for the world!

The first thing every fan does when they wake up is to open the newspaper and check the number of wins of the Lakers!

And when the Lakers defeated the Jazz and scored 64 wins and 6 losses, their final schedule of the season was smooth!

Harris almost ensured that all players had an excellent physical reserve, arranged rotations, and harvested April. In the last 12 games, they won 9 games!

These 9 wins were won when Harris wanted to adjust his condition and significantly reduce the main players' playing time! If they go all out, the Lakers may even have a very high chance of winning 75 games this season!

But 73 wins is great enough!

history record!

A new legend!

At the Great Western Forum Arena, witnessed by countless media, the Lakers defeated the Mavericks. As the final game of the regular season this season, the Lakers' game attracted far more attention than any other team.

Streamers were falling from the sky above Forum Arena, and incredible moments from this season were playing on the big screen.

Kobe Bryant pointed to the sky with one hand, shot of the night of 81 points.

The picture of O'Neal crushing the other four centers and reaching the top of the king of kings.

Kobe Bryant's fade-away three-pointer!

Kobe celebrates without watching the ball, with Jordan and Pippen in the background.

Kobe's five-double!

The team won 34 consecutive victories!

The highest half-time scoring record in history!

Game after game, the Lakers won 73 games in the NBA, the world's highest palace!

Unprecedented!

Full of honor! This year's regular season belongs to the Lakers!

I'm coming! I see it! I conquer!

These words from Caesar perfectly explain the Lakers this season! Kobe this season!

"Congratulations, Del. The Lakers had a great season, 73 wins, and the league is great because of them."

At the post-game press conference, Don Nelson smiled and was full of praise for the Lakers. The legendary coach Mad Scientist, who has won the best coach three times, is extremely envious.

What coach wouldn't want to coach a Lakers team like this?

"Thank you, Don." Silver Fox Harris wiped his eyes. At this time, everyone was in a very uneasy mood, not to mention the Lakers players present.

O'Neal has played tricks in front of the camera more than once.

Xiaoyu and Bowen joined forces to sing RAP.

Jones, Horry, Mullin, Campbell, Curry, Steph, etc.

Kobe put on a baseball cap and a Lakers jacket. The Lakers family watched this moment quietly with a smile on their faces.

He wanted to remember this scene deeply in his mind.

Together they created a legend. This legend means that when Kobe is in a wheelchair at the age of 80, Kobe will tell their story to his descendants.

"Guys, the regular season is over and we are the biggest winners."

In the locker room, Harris issued a pep talk before the start of the preseason.

"But the playoffs have just begun, and a new journey is about to begin!"

"Never underestimate your opponents! There are countless examples of the weak defeating the strong in the playoffs!"

"Last year we lost to the Bulls, this year! We will overcome everything! Win the O'Brien Trophy!"

Everything in the regular season has settled. If they fail to win the championship, the Lakers will become a laughing stock with 73 wins and no championship.

After celebrating and cheering, it’s time to start seriously preparing for the playoffs.

How difficult is it to win the playoffs this year! It’s the scariest thing in history!

Whether in the West or the East, there are more than two historically strong teams, as well as a group of championship-level teams. It’s not a surprise for any of these teams to win the championship. There are countless examples of the weak defeating the strong on the court. It doesn’t mean that the Lakers win 73 games and they are safe!

Kobe still remembers the Warriors of later generations, who also won 73 games, but lost in the end.

Maybe it's because of injuries, maybe it's because of whistleblowing, maybe it's because of state, there are too many factors that can affect the outcome of a series.

The Lakers' opponent is the Bulls, the king of basketball! The Galaxy Battleship has the Utah Jazz with MVP power forward! The new bad boy army magic of the strongest twins of the young generation! There is also the Rockets who have hidden strength and are preparing to compete for the last championship of their career in the playoffs!

None of these teams are easy to deal with! Any team in any era has the possibility to win the championship!

Kobe never dared to underestimate his opponents!

The greatest respect for your opponent is to go all out!

"The playoff lineup is out!"

The Lakers are first in the Western Conference with 73 wins and 9 losses.

Second Utah Jazz 68 wins and 14 losses

The third-place Seattle SuperSonics are 62-20.

No. 4 San Antonio Spurs 57-25

No. 5 Phoenix Suns 56 wins, 26 losses

No. 6 Minnesota Timberwolves 47 wins, 35 losses

Seventh Portland Trail Blazers 46 wins and 36 losses

No. 8 Houston Rockets 41 wins and 41 losses

Lakers first round! Directly face the Houston Rockets who are pretending to be dead!

These three Rockets guys can be said to be examples of pretending to be dead. The team's record has just reached eighth place and has not fallen out of the playoffs.

"The Lakers are going to be hacked!" Rockets star Ralph Sampson openly fired in the media!

"What will happen if a 73-win team is hacked?"

"If there is a team ranked 5-8 that can beat the Lakers, it is the Rockets!"

"Houston, which has been resting for a whole season, will usher in their explosion in the playoffs!"

If the Lakers were asked to pick an opponent from 5-8, Harris would never choose Houston.

Despite this group of veterans pretending to be dead during the regular season, they only managed 41 wins and didn't even make the All-Star team. They can definitely play at superstar level in the playoffs!

In other words, they pretended to be dead in the regular season to preserve their strength, just to play at the superstar level in the playoffs!

Utah Jazz vs. Portland Trail Blazers, there is not much suspense in this series. MVP-level Malone is not something that the current Roaring God can handle.

This series between the Seattle SuperSonics and the Timberwolves is a bit interesting.

If Garnett knocks out Vin Baker and completely kills both offense and defense, can Payton alone withstand the heavy artillery of Marbury and Tom Gugliotta?

If Kemp is here, Marbury and Tom Gugliotta really won't perform very well, but the current SuperSonics defense is no longer the same as last year!

The match between the Spurs and the Suns was a confrontation between two completely different styles.

It can also be said to be a confrontation between two eras.

The Spurs follow the twin towers, slow pace, and positional warfare.

The Suns are aiming for more shots, three-pointers, and running and gunning!

The two teams restrained each other, but the Spurs, with two superstars, definitely had the advantage at critical moments.
