My Name is Kobe Bryant

The Heat and Lakers started the Finals on June 10, 2001.

At home in Los Angeles, many fans at the Staples Center have forgotten the man who single-handedly created the SHOWTIME dynasty - the magician Pat Riley.

The fortune teller is also a little unfamiliar with this new venue.

But this does not affect his determination to defeat the Lakers dynasty!

This year’s heat! Can beat anyone!

G1, the menacing Heat scored 61 points in the first half!

Kobe blocked Eddie Jones, and Tim Hardaway blew up the little fish.

Kobe went to guard Tim Hardaway, and Eddie Jones continued to beat up minnows.

One is the short and fast guard that Xiaoyu is most afraid of, and the other is the big brother who has led Xiaoyu from the moment he entered the league. Xiaoyu cannot guard either one.

The blooming outside led to the inside offensive, and Stephen Jackson participated more in defense, causing O'Neal to bear more impacts.

Mourning developed a handsome mid-range shot specifically to beat the Lakers.

The Lakers could only struggle to hold on in the first half, falling behind by as much as 15 points at one point.

In the third quarter, Kobe went into full takeover mode.

Harris refrigerated the minnows and replaced them with Manu Ginobili and Kobe Bryant to start a dual-core strategy.

Although Yaodao's defense is worse than Xiaoyu's, his offense can completely make up for it.

This year, Yaodao averaged 25.4 minutes per game, 17+2+4, and was elected as the Sixth Man of the Year.

With the best sixth man on the court to help Kobe, Kobe started a crazy scoring mode!

Eddie Jones defends Kobe Bryant.

During their first two years with the Lakers, Eddie Jones and Kobe competed frequently.

But now, it seems like the scene from the training match has resurfaced.

Eddie Jones knows Kobe so well!

Kobe also knew Eddie Jones inside and out.

It only took Kobe half a quarter to completely destroy Eddie Jones's defensive confidence.

Three points!

Lean back!

breakthrough!

Kobe is no longer the skinny little guy he was when he first entered the league. He almost crushed Eddie Jones!

In the fourth quarter, Kobe continued his miracle amid the cheers of the fans at Staples Center!

Kobe in the finals is always the strongest Kobe!

Kobe scored 31 points in the second half! 47 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists, 4 steals, 2 blocks and 2 turnovers. A huge comeback, recovering 15 points and killing the game!

Pat Riley was livid after the game, ignored Harris's greetings, and left the arena.

Harris and West smiled at each other.

The end of the dynasty?

As long as there is Kobe, the Lakers will never be at the end of their dynasty!

G2, the Lakers made another victory.

Back in Miami, the Heat were cornered.

In this game, during a blocking confrontation, Mourning and O'Neal had a big fight.

Wu Sheng stepped forward to help, but was hugged tightly by PJ Brown, a strong man.

O'Neal was punched several times in the face by Mourning's iron fist.

He wanted to fight back, but he was no match for Mourning.

An ugly pitch fight! This directly angered Stern.

This is the finals!

The finals that the whole world is watching!

Mourning actually plays such a thing.

Mourning suspended for 3 games!

O'Neal suspended for 1 game!

Stephen Jackson and P.J. Brown suspended and fined $30,000!

In this G3, the Lakers and Heat lacked insiders at the same time.

At the age of 38, Iron Man AC took over as the center, and Kobe took over as the power forward!

In the end, Kobe was half guard and half power forward, scoring 28+17+6 to win G3.

G4!

Because O'Neal and Stephen Jackson were suspended, Kobe still played power forward!

In this game, Kobe played the entire game at power forward!

He scored 35 points, 23 rebounds, 13 assists, 6 steals, 5 blocks and 4 turnovers!

30+20+10+5+5!

miracle!

The only data in history!

Kobe created the most comprehensive performance in history in the Finals!

Become a god in one fell swoop! Win four crowns!

Kobe's popularity reached its climax at this time.

The 4th championship surpassed Michael Jordan's three consecutive championships in one fell swoop!

At the same time, because of Mamba Sports' momentum, Kobe's international reputation was unparalleled.

The Lakers, who were clearly at the end of their dynasty, swept the Heat with Kobe's miraculous performance of 41.2 points, 13.5 rebounds, 8.9 assists, 3.6 steals, 2.1 blocks and 3.5 turnovers per game in the series!

This is the only sweep in the finals in recent years!

This championship has allowed Kobe's historical status to rise again. More and more fans believe that Kobe is the GOTA in basketball history.

In the summer of 2001, Kobe launched the Mamba Academy in Los Angeles for high school and college students.

The instructors who teach include Kobe, Magic, Assassin, Olajuwon, Sabonis, Pence, Iverson, Carter, Mullin, Old Curry, and Garnett.

Gathering of historical giants and current superstars! It has become the most luxurious training camp in basketball history!

All of a sudden, geniuses gathered across the United States! The Chosen One, LeBron James, Syracuse King Carmelo Anthony, Point Guard God Jay Williams, Arenas, Bosh, Wade, CP3, Deron, Howard, Okafor, Stade Meyer.

Not only the United States, but also a group of talented players from Asia, led by Yao Ming, Pau Gasol from Spain, Pakdio from France, Barbosa from Brazil, Kirilenko from Russia, Milicic from Serbia, and Bogu from Canada. Turkish Oku.

There are new rookies!

There are college students!

There are high school students!

There are also various foreign talented players!

After they received a full offer from Mamba Sports and learned about the coaching lineup, they agreed immediately!

Kobe is now a totem of basketball!

And the mentors he invited are all leading figures in the Hall of Fame!

Kobe's Mamba Academy directly shocked the entire basketball world!

Every player invited to participate feels honored!

It was Kobe who was able to bring these talented players from all over the world together.

The media began to popularize the stories of these players.

Jordan's sudden appearance at the opening of the training camp brought public opinion to a climax!

However, the training camp is completely closed and no media is allowed to attend. No one knows what happened during the 15 days of training except those involved.

The media can only speculate on the story outside the arena.

Will any talented player compete with Kobe Jordan?

Will they be beaten up?

What is the purpose of Kobe Bryant's move to host it for free and even reimburse the round-trip air tickets?

When this training camp came to an end and countless Hall of Fame-level superstars emerged among these players, people realized how great this training camp really was!

This training camp includes almost all the rising stars in the next 15 years!

The future stories of the NBA are almost all written by these players.

This is the training camp with the greatest impact on basketball in history.

"I will join Mamba Sports and return to Africa to contribute to basketball in my home country."

In the summer, Olajuwon's declaration shocked the world.

Africa?

It was a country filled with poverty, war and plague.

Olajuwon finally got out of the quagmire, but he is going back to the backward third world?

What kind of soup or medicine did Kobe give Dameng?

"Everything is for basketball." God's left-hand Mullin announced his retirement and joined Mamba Sports in the same year. He will go to Europe to launch a new base of Mamba Academy.

"Maybe I can do something more meaningful than playing basketball." Sabonis announced his retirement, joined Mamba Sports, and went to the Far East to launch the Mamba Academy.

In the same year, the Lakers used the Grizzlies' first-round pick No. 18 to sign Zach Randolph and their own No. 27 pick to sign Memet Okur.

Because there is no story about Michael Jordan valuing Kwame Brown’s eyes, this year’s No. 1 pick was boxing champion Tyson Chandler, who joined the Los Angeles Clippers.

The Spurs signed Battelle from China, and another well-known Chinese player entered the US NBA.

Gilbert Arenas joins Wizards.

Parker joins the Spurs.

Pau Gasol joins Grizzlies.

Joe Johnson joins Celtics.

Gerald Wallace joins Hornets.

The Trail Blazers announced they were rebuilding and traded Rasheed Wallace to the Celtics in exchange for a first-round pick. Traded O'Neal to the Timberwolves.

Danny Ainge announced his resignation, and the Suns players were put on the shelf. Marion was traded to the Mavericks, Clifford Robinson was sent to the Jazz, and Kidd was traded to the Magic.

Penny Hardaway issued a trade request to the management, but the Magic management finally used a first-round pick in exchange for Kidd, who still had one year of contract, to appease Penny.

The 76ers traded Jason Williams for rookie Kirilenko, who has yet to play for the Jazz. The Jazz have already begun preparing for team building after Stockton retires. At the same time, the 76ers used a minimum salary to sign Glenn Rice, who suffered a severe decline due to injury.

Mark Jackson and Kevin Willis joined the Hornets with minimum salaries.

All the strong teams are starting a crazy arms race!

The Lakers are at the end of their rope, this is an indisputable fact.

Whoever can defeat the Lakers will become the new king.

The number of top teams in 2001-2002 seems to have quietly climbed to a new peak again!

Old Buss paid the luxury tax and gave Ginobili a four-year, 80 million contract. Ginobili became the Lakers' third-highest-paid player after Kobe and O'Neal.

This contract makes O'Neal a little jealous. Back then, he only had a 7-year, 100 million contract, but now Ginobili's average annual contract salary actually exceeds him.

Coupled with the loss of MVP and FMVP again, O'Neal began to have other thoughts.

AC Green announced his retirement after winning his third championship.

At the beginning of the 2001-2002 season, the Lakers' lineup was adjusted to Xiaoyu, Kobe, Bowen, Wu Sheng, and O'Neal as the starters.

Yaodao, Fox, Horry, Randolph, Okur are substitutes.

The Lakers did not have the extra salary to sign players in the new season. They could only choose two rookies at the end of the first round to act as thugs at Kobe's suggestion.

The Lakers' lineup was once considered to be the worst year since OK joined the Lakers. The starting lineup is Xiaoyu, the worst point guard on the playoff team, and the substitutes are either rookies or defensive black holes.

But now no one dares to look down on the Lakers.

"Kobe, I want to win the MVP." Before the season, O'Neal found Kobe and said frankly and honestly with a rare serious face. This is his sixth season with the Lakers, and as a result, he has achieved nothing except the championship and the All-NBA Team.

This is unacceptable to O'Neal. What he wants is to become the strongest center in history, not the strongest second player in history.

Now he is even the third member of the team on salary, how can the arrogant O'Neal accept this.

He can serve Kobe, but that doesn't mean he is willing to beat Kobe for the rest of his life.

"I understand, Shaq." Kobe nodded.

In the new season, Kobe began to play ball crazy for O'Neal!

Kobe knew that this would be O'Neal's last time with the Lakers.

When a player desperately wants to pursue personal honors and is even willing to give up team achievements, such a player has no way to gain a foothold in the Lakers.

Kobe knew this, Buss Sr., and West also knew this.

Maybe O'Neal knew, or maybe he just didn't care.

There are already four championships, and he doesn’t want the championship that is not FMVP!

In that case, hey!

Feed to death!

Feed until you vomit!

When a GOAT-level player goes all out to feed the ball, the situation is very amazing.

O'Neal also adjusted his physical condition and averaged 30.2 points, 14.6 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 2.5 blocks, 0.9 steals and 3.3 turnovers in the regular season, leading the Lakers to 62 wins!

Kobe averaged 21.7 points, 8.7 rebounds, 10.2 assists, 3.2 steals, 1.1 blocks and 2.7 turnovers per game this season!

Kobe put all his energy on other than scoring! If he hadn't deliberately let loose, he would have even followed Big O and become the player who once again averaged a triple-double in the regular season.

Kobe did almost everything except score.

This year! Kobe Bryant once again won the honor of Defensive Player of the Year!

There are three contenders for MVP this year, O'Neal, Carter, and Hill.

Carter averaged 28.7 points, 7.6 rebounds, 8.9 assists, 2.1 steals, 0.7 blocks and 3.1 turnovers per game this year. His true shooting percentage was second only to Kobe Bryant from the perimeter, leading the Grizzlies to third place in the Western Conference.

This is a qualitative leap!

The Grizzlies' lineup this year is Lynch Hunter, Carter, Shane Battier, Raheem, and Gasol!

Such a lineup, which is almost composed of newcomers, will take off immediately this year!

Carter is hailed as the next Jordan. After having the best pivot like Gasol, he performed at a dominant level.

The key is that Carter's efficiency is too high!

It’s three-pointers and breakthroughs!

Under the guidance of Kobe, this style of play, which is almost like Harden’s magic ball in later generations, is perfect for Carter!

Grant Hill, on the other hand, averaged 30.8 points, 10.1 rebounds, 8.6 assists, 1.6 steals, 0.9 blocks and 2.9 turnovers per game this season, leading the Hornets to once again win first place in the Eastern Conference after many years.

Michael Jordan has degenerated into a shooter who can only catch and shoot from mid-range. Although he can occasionally show excellence, this team is completely Grant Hill's team.

Hill's scoring average this season is second only to Iverson and McGrady!

And his other statistics are even better!

The Hornets in the previous two years were reduced due to the departure of a group of veterans, but this year's Hornets traded Leder for Mike Bibby, who was frustrated with the Raptors, and Gerald Wallace was appointed to the power forward position. This rookie is on top!

The Hornets' athletic ability has undergone earth-shaking changes, and they are having a great time playing defensive counterattack + triangle offense! This system is a perfect fit for Grant Hill.

The MVP race lasted from the beginning of the season to the end.

In the end, the judges gave this award to Grant Hill, who had a better record than the Lakers, was more dominant, and had a more comprehensive style of play.

After O'Neal learned the news, he almost went crazy!
