My Name is Kobe Bryant

May 14, 1998, Los Angeles press conference.

Harris led Kobe and O'Neal to participate together.

The flashing lights started flashing as soon as the three people got out of the car, and all well-known media from the United States were present! Not only the American media, but also a large number of foreign media have focused on the only four remaining teams!

King of Bulls! Chasing their sixth championship, Michael Jordan is rushing to become the number one player in history!

Purple Lakers! 73 wins, the best record in history, the new MVP and the league's No. 1 center, wants to overthrow the Bulls' dominance! Complete the replacement of kingship!

Galactic Sir! With three historical Hall of Fame-level superstars in their prime, their roster ranks first in the league on paper! After finishing their run-in, they vowed to win the championship!

Bad Boy Legion 2.0 Magic! The 93 Geminis connected seamlessly and played the best performance of their careers. Under the leadership of Chuck Daly, the meritorious coach of the Bad Boy Legion, their goal is to defeat the Bulls again!

Four legendary teams! Every team has a high chance of winning the championship in other years! Even for former championship teams, it is difficult to say that they are necessarily better than these teams!

Four teams! No one has a 100% chance of winning! The gap between them is very small, and any small accident may change the outcome.

This is not only the grand era of the American Men's Basketball Professional League! It is also a prosperous time in the world of basketball!

50 years of NBA basketball! Never before has so many top teams gathered at the end of a year! Every team is a legend! Any team has more than 2 superstars!

The stars are shining brightly! This is the prosperous basketball era that Stern wants!

Four legendary teams held press conferences at almost the same time and in different locations!

The crowds are surging!

In May! This is the center of the world!

From the United States to South America, from Europe to Russia, countless Southeast Asian countries, and even Africa, the desert of world culture, countless fans are paying attention here!

This year! The most prosperous year for the NBA! Who will win the championship?

Under the control of media release officials, the press conference finally became quiet.

Then answer the questions one by one.

Harris was asked about the performance of Larry Bird, the best coach of the season.

"Larry is a very great player, and his coaching is also top-notch! Look at what position he has brought this year's Pacers to. They almost won this series and reached the Eastern Conference Finals. , this is a huge change for a team that was tenth in the Eastern Conference last year.”

"Del, your tactics have become simpler this season. Some academic coaches say that you are driven by the players and are no longer the top coach last year. What do you think of this evaluation?"

"The more complicated the tactics are, the more powerful they are. The more complicated the tactics, the greater the chance of mistakes! Since the ball is in the hands of Kobe and Shaq and they can handle it well, why not make it simpler?"

"Shaq! How do you see the Orlando Magic making it back to the Eastern Conference Finals without you and facing the Bulls again?"

"Bless them, they have a great season." O'Neal curled his lips.

"Would you be embarrassed if they won the series without you?"

"Of course not!" O'Neill said sincerely.

"Orlando fans have considered Webber as your replacement. Do you think it would be a good choice for Webber to stay in Orlando?"

"Players have the right to choose their own team." O'Neal said with a black line, why don't these damn reporters ask me how I defeated the Dream and defeated the Admiral? Why are you still talking about magic?

Kobe smiled and looked at the shark who was dizzy after being asked by the media. If you beat Admiral Duncan in this round of the series, then it will definitely not be like this.

What Kobe is asked most is his opinion on the next round of the series.

"No one knows what's going to happen until the basketball game starts."

"Oh (ω)y! Dad finally got us a seat!" Little Curry, EJ-chan, and Thompson jumped up and down! Already running to the seats before the game started.

"It's so difficult! This ticket is so hard to get!"

"Who says it's not the case? The attention of the Lakers is so high that a ticket has been sold for thousands of dollars. A good seat like ours sitting next to the bench! It has been sold for more than 10,000 US dollars! I heard from the sidelines And private rooms are more expensive!”

"It's worth it! Learn skills! You also have to watch Kobe! How many points do you think Brother Kobe will score in this game? I guess it will be 30 points!"

"30 points? Can the Jazz players limit my idol? Set a small goal first, 50+!"

EJ Jiang and Clay looked at Curry dumbfounded. 50+ has only appeared three times in the playoffs so far in this year's most prosperous year. There is no doubt that Kobe can score 50+, but is it really possible in this game? ?

"Boy, that's a bit harsh. But I like it!" Sitting on the sidelines, next to the Lakers bench, Nelson recognized this kid as a junior kid from the Lakers, and happily came up and pinched Curry's cheek.

"Damn bad uncle! Don't pinch my face!" Little Curry's baby face was scrunched up.

"Let me prepare you mentally. This series is not that easy to win." Nelson frowned slightly as he looked at the players entering the field and starting to warm up.

Although he firmly believes that the Lakers can eventually win against the Jazz, it is difficult to say what changes will occur in this process.

If the Lakers and Jazz reach 7 games and are exhausted or even injured, can they still beat the winner of the Magic and Bulls in the finals?

"ONE TWO THREE! CHAMPION! CHAMPION! CHAMPION!"

The Lakers players gathered together, put their hands on each other's hands, and shouted loudly! The momentum is like a rainbow!

The game is about to begin!

"Are you really not going to let Ben start?" Rambis smiled bitterly at Harris. There is obviously a tactic that can block the opponent's ace scorer. Even if it reduces his own offensive space, Rambis thinks it is worth it. of.

Harris smiled and said nothing. He had decided on this arrangement before the playoffs started!

OK is his fault tolerance rate. Even if his tactics fail, so what? The worst possible outcome is to change it again!

"The Jazz's starting lineup remains the same - Stockton, Richmond, Russell, Malone, Greg Ostertag!"

"The Lakers did not use the lineup system that defeated the Jazz last season. They put Mr. Robert Horry on the court!"

"The Lakers have such confidence! This is their starting lineup that won 73 wins! In the regular season, their lineup is invincible!"

"Then the key point of this game is to see whether Malone can defeat the Lakers!"
