My Name is Kobe Bryant

"As long as Kobe and I are on the same team, I will never win the MVP!" O'Neal clearly knew this fact.

Whether it's Kobe's wanton scoring or his all-around play, GOAT's influence on the court will always be extraordinary.

When a team has such a player, no matter how well other players perform, they will inevitably be overshadowed by Kobe's brilliance.

The reason why the judges gave Hill the MVP this year is that even though Jordan was seriously degenerated, he still led the team to first place in the Eastern Conference.

And what reason is there for O'Neal?

Is it because of Kobe's selfless dedication and substantial sacrifice of his own data that allowed O'Neal to reach a historical level of data?

Or is it a worse record than in previous years?

O'Neal's personal performance makes many people think that it is because of Kobe's performance and sacrifice that he can achieve such statistics.

No personal honor!

No money!

O'Neal couldn't think of any reason why he could continue to stay in Los Angeles.

"Kobe, let this fifth championship be our last memorial."

Does O'Neal resent Kobe?

not at all.

He always considered Kobe Bryant the player he admired most.

No one can do as hard as Kobe, regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter, training hard day after day.

No one can save the team from crisis countless times like Kobe.

Kobe is the GOAT in O'Neal's heart.

But no matter how admired he is, O'Neal also wants to rely on his own strength to win honors and championships.

What he wants is not the strongest second-in-command in history!

This is the same as when Webber rejected Jordan and Hill's invitations and forced him to go to a deserted place like Samonto.

O'Neal also wants to play his own honor.

This will be the last year of the OK dynasty.

Regardless, the next season, O'Neal decided to leave.

This is Kobe's sixth season, and the landscapes of both the Eastern and Western Conferences are undergoing drastic changes.

The old superstars are gradually retiring, and the new generation of players are beginning to perform the best performances of their careers.

The Suns, Trail Blazers, Jazz, and Rockets have all come to an end.

The new strong teams Kings, Timberwolves, Grizzlies, and Mavericks have caught up and made up for these vacancies.

This year's number one in the Western Conference is still the Lakers' old rival, the San Antonio Spurs.

Lakers second.

Grizzlies third.

King fourth.

Mavericks seventh.

By the way, the Lakers vs. the Mavericks.

Lakers players often train with Nashnowitzki, and they know that these two guys are by no means easy to deal with.

Hit by last year's playoffs, Nash averaged 18+10 per game this season, greatly improving his own aggressiveness.

Nowitzki has reached a new level every year, from 8+3, to 17+6, to 22+9, and then to 25+10+3 this year. He has gradually grown into that invincible German tank!

But Nowitzki met his nemesis. Warrior Saint Stephen Jackson.

Infinitely moving forward, Nowitzki can hardly catch the ball.

In the face-to-frame offense, the ball was directly intercepted by Stephen Jackson many times.

In the series, he only scored 18+7 with a 37.8% shooting rate.

The title of Martial Saint White Killer was once again widely sung.

The offensive and defensive confrontation between Kobe and Nash in this series is equally exciting.

O'Neal is doing his best for his last playoff game with the Lakers.

In the end, the Lakers swept the Mavericks 3:0.

At this time, news broke out that O'Neal liked to rest in the cheerleading locker room.

In a big city like Los Angeles, it took a full year for this news to be reported. This shows that the team is very careful to protect O'Neal.

For a time, various rumors emerged one after another. Even Stern came to ask about this matter. It was already clearly stated that NBA players were prohibited from contacting and falling in love with cheerleaders.

People began to feel that handing the MVP to Hill, who was elegant and easy-going, had a good style, and was a perfect idol, instead of O'Neal, was the right decision.

In the second round, the Lakers faced the Grizzlies!

Peak Kobe vs. peak Carter!

Grizzlies starting lineup - Lynch Hunter, Carter, Shane Battier, Raheem, Gasol.

This lineup is already quite good.

Carter and Battier took turns guarding Kobe.

Rahim attacked the Lakers' defense in the penalty area.

Gasol involved O'Neal from a distance.

This lineup obviously restrains the Lakers.

But in the duel between Kobe and Carter, Kobe had the advantage.

After all, Carter still has too little experience and has never experienced this level of competition. He was continuously blocked by Kobe at critical moments.

But O'Neal's message affected his game state, and he didn't adjust his mentality until the third game.

In the end, the Lakers defeated the Grizzlies 4:2 with some difficulty.

When O'Neal was in poor condition, Kobe took over everything and once again averaged a triple-double in the series, averaging 32.6 points, 10.2 rebounds, 11.7 assists, 3.1 steals, 1.1 blocks, and 3.7 turnovers.

Under Kobe's defense, Carter still scored 24.5 points, 8.8 rebounds and 5.6 assists.

The civil war of Mamba Sports instantly attracted a lot of popularity to Mamba Sports.

On the other side, the Spurs were hacked by the Kings.

Kings 4:3, narrowly defeated the Spurs!

Weber played the best series of his career. Facing Duncan's defense, he averaged 30.1 points, 11.2 rebounds and 7.6 assists per game, leading the team to the Western Conference Finals!

The San Antonio Spurs, the largest background in the NBA, have become a stepping stone for a legendary team.

Seeing such a performance on Weibo, O'Neal was even more envious and strengthened his determination to leave the Lakers.

The battle between the Lakers and Kings lasted 7 games!

This is a bloody battle!

The two teams knew each other well and gave fans the most exciting series of the season.

Kobe made back-to-back buzzer beaters.

O'Neal had 52+31 and roared at Old Buss: "SHOW ME THE MONEY".

Weber's legendary triple double of 30+20+10.

In the end, everything settled, the Lakers narrowly defeated the Kings in the tiebreaker 4:3.

Webber's unwilling expression as he sat on the ground and hammered the floor became the most iconic scene in the Western Conference in this year's playoffs.

Six years in a row!

In the sixth year of the OK combination, Kobe Bryant joined the sixth man of the NBA, and the Lakers once again stood on the stage of the finals!

This year's Lakers can be said to be the weakest year in the past six years.

The conflicts over O'Neal in the regular season, the many dangers in the playoffs, and the poor performance of the newcomers in the playoffs, everyone can see that this dynasty team is on the verge of collapse.

But no matter what, they have reached the finals. They have won 4 championships in 6 consecutive finals. This Lakers has become the memory and sustenance of a generation.

In the East, the Hornets, Heat, 76ers, Celtics, Magic, Bucks, Pacers, and Knicks fought fiercely.

The competition in the East has quietly become more intense.

In the end, the Hornets had the last laugh.

In the first round, the Hornets beat their old rivals the Knicks 3:0.

The trident composed of Alan Houston, Madman, and Larry Johnson seemed vulnerable to the Hornets.

Then the Hornets played against the Celtics.

The duel between Hill and McGrady can be called a textbook duel at the small forward position!

Both are extremely versatile small forwards!

Both of them have the ability to play from position 1 to position 4!

The first step of both of them was in this position, which is rare for someone of this height!

It's just that McGrady prefers shooting, while Hill prefers to get into the penalty area.

The Celtics have changed a lot this year. Auerbach has completely stepped down to retire, and Danny Ainge has taken over the position of general manager.

He hired Rainman Kemp from the Cavaliers who was frustrated and had not made the playoffs for many years!

The team's lineup became Billups, Kenny Anderson, Tracy McGrady, Van Horn, and Kemp.

Such a lineup with both inside and outside, all-around offense and defense instantly ignited the Eastern Conference. They once took the second place in the Eastern Conference, but in the end due to Kemp's injury, the team ranked fourth.

McGrady has grown into a first-line superstar this season! Averaged 25.8 points, 7.5 rebounds, 9.5 assists, 1.7 steals, 0.6 blocks, and 2.6 turnovers per game. While being efficient, he also made the second team of the All-Defensive Team!

It can be said that McGrady now is completely different from McGrady at the same time in the previous life!

Under the guidance of the Cardinal, Tracy McGrady further perfected his talent, which is the envy of God.

Especially on the organizational and defensive ends, McGrady is no longer the tragic player who can only play beautiful basketball but can never reach the Eastern Conference and Western Conference Finals.

That is to say, after seeing that McGrady and Van Horn have fully matured, the Cardinals can safely hand over the team to two young people, Danny Ainge and Pitino, to take care of themselves.

The confrontation between McGrady and Hill resulted in countless wonderful goals. McGrady faced the new MVP Hill and actually did not fall behind at all!

With Billups helping to control the ball and Kemp helping to defend Hill's breakthroughs, McGrady even slightly suppressed Hill in the first two games.

In the end, the Hornets won 4:3.

In the last game, Michael Jordan went from strength to strength, scoring 36 points and scoring 5 goals in a row in the fourth quarter to kill the game.

The Celtics' talent and potential are fully demonstrated!

This is a young army with the potential to hit a dynasty-level team!

Billups threw away his garbage hat.

Van Horn has become the best floor-spacing four in the league.

Kemp helped defend in the paint, just like he did with the Sonics.

More importantly, McGrady is a young player who seems to play like Jordan and Kobe. Some people say that he will be Kobe's biggest opponent in the future!

The potential of this Celtics is even greater than that of the 76ers!

Eastern Conference Finals, Hornets vs. Heat.

Grant Hill broke out in this series, averaging 35.6 points, 14.2 rebounds, 6.7 assists, 2.1 steals, 1.2 blocks and 3.1 turnovers per game, a god-like performance!

In the end, the Hornets defeated the team with the most stars in the league 4:2!

Hornets VS Lakers!

Kobe VS Jordan!

The fateful showdown, the fourth game!

"Congratulations to the Lakers for winning the 2001-2002 NBA championship!!!" Magic's voice was still high! It seems that time has left no trace on his body at all!

"Five crowns!!! Kobe, Shaq!!! OK dynasty wins five consecutive championships!!!"

again!

The Lakers are on the highest stage again!

Five consecutive championships!

This is not a dynasty, but a divine dynasty!

The Lakers OK combination created a divine dynasty!

The Lakers defeated their old rival Hornets 4:3!

The difficult victory and countless ups and downs in the series made the final showdown between Jordan and Kobe so legendary.

"Congratulations, Kobe, the league is entrusted to you."

After the game, Kobe and Jordan hugged each other. Jordan finally stopped being as arrogant as he was a few years ago, and instead gave Kobe his heartfelt blessings.

Because of this man, he decided to retire after this game.

The god of basketball, Kobe's biggest rival, and the strongest superstar in the 1990s, decided to bid farewell to his career after this glorious series.

He has no regrets.

Fighted!

Win!

Lost!

He came to the NBA stage and wrote the greatest chapter on it.

This time, it was his last chance to defeat Kobe.

His body is old and his steps are slow.

Flying people, it’s time to move forward.

Jordan's farewell and retirement put the NBA at the forefront.

The confrontation between Kobe and Jordan, the Lakers and the Hornets, attracted more attention than the Battle of the Century!

The story between Jordan and Kobe has even been written into textbooks in some countries.

This is a historic level opponent!

Kobe's reputation has once again been pushed to the extreme!

The sensation even surpassed the war of the century!

5 Crown Divine Dynasty!

5th consecutive FMVP!

This time, Kobe finally became the well-deserved first person in history!

6 years!

It took Kobe 6 years to become the greatest player in basketball history.

But his mission has not yet been accomplished.

His life achievements are still stuck at S-.

"Kobe, I'm leaving Los Angeles."

At the post-game celebration, O'Neal directly informed Kobe of his decision.

Kobe was mentally prepared for this.

"Man, we could have won 10 championships."

"But if it's not the FMVP championship, I don't want it anymore."

"Sorry, next time we meet, we will be enemies."

O'Neal's trade request directly blew the NBA out of the circle!

Bass and West are willing to trade him to any team that suits him.

O'Neal's contract has one year left, but all teams in the league submitted trade applications to the Lakers at almost the same time.

This is the league's number one center!

This is a beast averaging 36+17 per game in the finals!

Without O'Neal, there would be no Lakers dynasty.

With O'Neal, maybe we can build a dynasty again!

Whether it is a one-year right to use a player of historical level or keeping him for a long time, it is a profitable transaction!

Without O'Neal, the Lakers will definitely not be that invincible team.

Many people think that Kobe is like Penny Hardaway after leaving O'Neal. He still seems to be a superstar goalkeeper, but he no longer has the ability to lead the team to stability and glory.

Kobe is finished!

The Lakers are finished!

The divine dynasty collapsed!

The alliance has officially entered the competition among heroes!

An era of chaos has arrived again!

Countless teams began a crazy arms race!

The team that was on top of them disbanded and collapsed! The difficulty of winning the championship has dropped by more than one level.

Whoever can win the next championship now will be the new king of the league!

O'Neal's trade has fired the first shot!
