My Name is Kobe Bryant

"YOYO, KOBE! If you want to make music, you've found the right person!" A unique voice sounded from Kobe's Motorola.

An old rapper!

This is the fifth day after winning the championship. Los Angeles experienced a grand carnival, and the basketball world also welcomed their new king.

The transition of kingship is finally complete.

Although a considerable number of people believe that the reason Michael Jordan lost to Kobe was because he did not have Shaquille O'Neal by his side, a loss is a loss.

The winners and losers in competitive sports, Michael Jordan has the opportunity to form a super team and come back next summer.

but now! The world belongs to Kobe!

After experiencing the carnival, Kobe also started his off-season.

The offseason of 1998 was destined to be uneventful.

In the last life, after Michael Jordan chose to retire, the broadcast contract quotations given by TV stations dropped sharply, and the players also expressed resistance to a series of policies introduced by the league to limit player income. It was not until January 1999 that the two parties reached a settlement and conducted a That shortened season.

In the end, Tim Duncan performed at a phenomenal level in the second year of his career, leading a bunch of role players with the Admirals to win the championship.

This was also a key year in establishing Shifo's historical status. If he had not led the team to win the championship in the second year of his career, the title of the number one power forward in history might not necessarily have fallen on Duncan.

And now, not only has Jordan not retired, but there is another Kobe Bryant whose influence has almost caught up with Jordan's!

Two super champions!

Jordan is still making trouble with the team, and the 23VS24 scene may be staged next year!

This kind of fight is simply a perverted and upgraded version of Russell VS Chamberlain and Big Bird VS Magic!

It can be seen with the naked eye that Michael Jordan can still average 50+ per game in the Finals. He is one of the two best players in the world.

The other one is Kobe.

And if you want to win the championship, the best way is of course to get the best players.

Kobe has two years left on his contract with the Lakers, and he has no reason to leave the Lakers.

At least that's what it seems for now.

And getting Jordan is of course the best choice!

Only the best players can compete against the best players!

Kobe VS Jordan for two consecutive years has already made the league a lot of money! The Bulls and Lakers' market value growth rates have nearly doubled.

What is even more frightening is their influence. Michael Jordan is almost synonymous with basketball, and the emergence of a second player who can compete with him has once again qualitatively improved the influence of the NBA.

The ratings of the finals broke the historical record, the jersey sales broke the historical record, and the team's advertising expenses broke the historical record!

The future will be the best era for basketball!

This would make several television stations cry out and offer quotations to Stern, and they were all exaggerated prices that even surprised Stern, the well-informed president!

Now it is a scene where several TV stations are bidding against each other! As a result, some TV stations even started to join forces to make quotations!

Several powerful TV stations pooled their funds together and made an offer that left NBA executives speechless.

In this case, the team's salary cap will rise significantly, and the players' contracts are about to take a leap! In addition, at the end of this season, a large number of superstar contracts have expired. Although this summer has not yet entered the trade period, the undercurrent has surpassed any year in the past.

Because of the exploding salary cap, the team may be able to sign two or three superstars instantly! There is room for maneuver.

With such explosive wages, players are not fools, and they can’t make money even if they have money!

No playing, lockout?

Then how to make money!

A lockout is impossible. The next step is to see how big the contract is and how the interests are distributed between the players and the team.

These games will only take effect after waiting for the specific broadcast contract to be released.

Of course, Kobe has never worried too much about management matters.

After he completed his victory celebration, he called the senior Komi dog master SNOPPY DOGG.

"Yes, Master Dog. I need your help."

"Come on! Come to my studio! Let them see how powerful we are!"

"The last dance seems a bit regretful." Phil Jackson, who returned to Chicago, was packing his belongings in his office.

has resigned.

Although Klaus was fired by boss Reinsdorf, Rhine also handed him a new large-scale contract.

But he knew clearly that this was just to attract Michael back to the Bulls.

The fate between this team and myself ends here.

Looking back on when I first came to Chicago, I assisted Doug Collins as an assistant coach, and then became a full-time coach and integrated the triangle offense into the team. Step through the Pistons dynasty and finally win the championship. Then came the wins over the Lakers, Trail Blazers, and Suns respectively. Won three consecutive championships.

After that, Jordan came back and lost to the youth army Magic. Reorganized the team, signed new players, won 72 games in the second year, and destroyed the Sonics. Back-to-back 70 wins, defeating the Los Angeles Lakers, who also had 70 wins.

Five crowns!

At that time, both the Zen Master himself and the Bulls players were so full of ambition! They are confident of winning their sixth consecutive championship.

At the beginning of the season, Jackson set the tone for the season - the last dance.

For the last dance, everyone thought they were going to give the most wonderful performance, just like they have done for so many years.

And the final result is.

was shattered.

All hopes were completely shattered by the man No. 24 in Los Angeles, Kobe Bryant.

4:1.

That man was like an undefeated god of war, crushing every counterattack of the team with one ball after another.

Except for Michael Jordan, the other players on the team hardly contributed much powerful resistance.

At that time, he knew that after experiencing countless championships, they had lost the championship mentality like the young people of the Lakers.

The past honors made them feel superior and lost their enterprising mentality.

When a king takes everything he has for granted, he is not far from failure.

In the end, the result was not far from what the Zen master expected.

Michael didn't lose.

The Bulls failed miserably.

The ending of the last dance seemed so desolate.

This offseason, the contracts of the three core Bulls players, Jordan, Pippen, and Rodman, have all expired.

Jordan has been contacting him since the game.

Zen Master is struggling with whether to continue to hang on as a coach who can only play superstar football and follow Michael to join other teams. Or start from scratch, invest in another team, and rebuild a dynasty?

hesitate.

Master Zen’s goal is to be the greatest coach in history, and currently, with five championships in hand and being still relatively young, he still has a very good chance of accomplishing this feat!

This choice may be related to his final achievement.

And when Michael said those words, the Zen master made up his mind.

"Phil, let's get on with the last dance."
