My Name is Kobe Bryant

"Karl Malone wants to come to the Lakers?" Kobe received a call from West.

What is Kobe's status with the Lakers now?

He is the king of this team and the totem of the team!

His voice in team basketball directly determines all aspects of the team.

Whether it's signings, tactical adjustments, or trades, West will communicate with Kobe.

This is the respect that LOGO men have for the first person in history!

Similarly, Kobe reciprocated the favor. He never pointed too much at the team. The most important thing for a player is to play basketball well on the court.

But this time, he heard the news and immediately expressed his opposition to West.

"Why not Kobe? With O'Neal gone, our interior is in a state of collapse. Stephen Jackson playing the fourth position is based on O'Neal's absolute dominance in the penalty area. Without O'Neal, Stephen's performance at the fourth position will be It’s a disaster.”

"The Lakers don't need a scumbag who makes copper and has an underage girl, no matter how strong he is."

West thought for a moment and felt that what Kobe said made sense.

The great Purple and Gold Dynasty is the representative of the basketball aristocracy. Malone might cause some locker room news when he comes to Los Angeles.

Inappropriate, even Malone is still an All-Star player.

"Other teams are going crazy for reinforcements. Kobe, what kind of players do you think we need to introduce?"

Kobe has already had his plans.

In his first year, Yao Ming was definitely not an effective combatant.

I'm afraid he can only be called a qualified starter.

In the previous generation, Yao's rookie year statistics were 13.5+8.2.

After being trained by Mamba Academy in this life, at most he is an 18+9 player. It is very possible to fail to reach 18+9. The growth of the inside line is inherently slower than that of the outside line.

Yao Ming's body cannot quickly adapt to the long schedule and fierce competition at the NBA level.

Therefore, Yao Ming must be equipped with some human shields before he grows up.

"Payton, Rasheed Wallace, Artest, O'Neal Jr., P.J. Brown." Kobe reported the names of several players. There are stars, newcomers, and veterans who are about to retire. Because Kobe is not sure what level of players the Lakers can trade for.

"Understood, I will try to trade. But don't hold out too much hope, now the entire league is counting on us to make a fool of ourselves."

The Lakers are already the public enemy of the league.

Especially this year, after five crowns, O'Neal left, and the OK dynasty disintegrated. The Lakers are everyone's favorite!

Adding insult to injury! It's good if you don't cheat the Lakers. Is there anyone willing to make a deal with the Lakers?

Of course, if the Lakers are willing to contribute their core players, that's okay.

But who is West willing to let go?

Except for Xiaoyu, West is unwilling to let anyone go.

Even Randolph and Okur on the bench will soon usher in their transformation period after experiencing a rookie season.

The Lakers really don't have many suitable bargaining chips. Except for players like Malone who actively request trades, it is too difficult to get others.

Both West and Kobe are mentally prepared that the Lakers will gain nothing from their signings this offseason.

But one thing is certain, the Lakers' lineup in the 2002-2003 season will be the worst lineup since Kobe Bryant joined the NBA.

West knew clearly that even if Kobe wanted to lead such a lineup to win the championship, it was almost impossible.

The darkest era for the Lakers is coming.

"Mr. West, thank you for the invitation. But I have decided to go to another team." Gary Payton flatly rejected Jerry West's invitation.

Glove Payton has already negotiated a deal with the Memphis Grizzlies.

The Grizzlies used two second-round picks to add some extra points, and got the 34-year-old Glove Payton!

The Grizzlies are officially on the rise! Their lineup became Payton, Carter, Battier, Raheem, and Gasol.

There are also Lynch Hunter, Lorenzen White, and Grant Long on the bench!

They also signed Mike Miller, a top pitcher, from the free market!

MVP-level player, half-man, half-god, Moneyball representative Vince Carter plus a bunch of championship-level puzzle pieces!

If this Grizzlies team goes well, it will be a historically strong team!

The first historically strong team from 2002-2003 appears!

Payton joining the Grizzlies is just the beginning of a crazy summer of trades this season!

Then the 39-year-old Hall of Fame superstar Karl Malone joined the Miami Heat as a free agent with a minimum salary!

Although Ma Long is old! He was still able to score 22+8+4 All-Star level data last season! At the same time, his tough defense also scares countless power forwards in the league.

Malone is one of the few players in history who can maintain his peak period until he is almost 40 years old. His career vitality allows him to still perform at a star level offensive and defensive performance at such an age, and he has become a championship puzzle piece in the eyes of many championship teams. !

"I hope I can use my experience to help the team win the championship!" At the press conference in Miami, Karl Malone and the magician Pat Riley attended together!

Malone's hatred for the Lakers goes deep into his bones!

He was actually rejected by Kobe!

He never expected this result.

Since you can't join, then defeat them!

In Malone's view, there will be many teams that have a chance to beat the Lakers this season.

The Heat are undoubtedly a very mature team!

Join the Heat yourself and team up with Mourning to become a tough guy duo!

Isn't this inside combination going to hit the Lakers' inside casually?

The Heat still have Pat Riley on top, and Karl Malone doesn't have to worry about not being able to integrate into the team. The Heat have always been a team of divine fortune tellers, and everyone is just a pawn of the divine fortune teller.

The Heat became the second historically powerful team!

Tim Hardaway, Eddie Jones, Mashburn, Malone, Mourning!

Five-star heat!

The Heat finally have a super giant who can shake up the field at critical moments!

"WTF??? That guy Karl didn't even say a word to me!" Stockton, one of Utah's two elders, was furious.

He thought Malone would stay with him forever in the Utah Plateau, but this guy betrayed the team?

If he had said hello to himself and Sloan that he was going to chase his dream of a championship, Stockton wouldn't be so angry.

But he didn't say anything. He regarded these old friends who had been with him for almost 20 years as nothing, and went directly to the prosperous place in Miami.

"Asshole! What a bastard!"

"No! I want to win the championship too! I want to win the championship before you!"

Stockton hates Malone because of love!

He hates Malone now!

He wants revenge!

Total revenge!

He found Sloane and spoke his mind.

Sloan sighed. It was he who felt sorry for his disciples and never led them to win the championship.

Stockton was sent to the Spurs with a second-round pick.

At this point, both Utah veterans have left the Jazz.

The most legendary pick-and-roll duo in history no longer exists.

"Welcoming Jason Kidd and Ron Artest, we will build the strongest team possible."

The Pacers signed Jason Kidd for 4 years and 90 million!

At the same time, he used a first-round pick from the Bulls in exchange for Artest!

Was intercepted.

West was furious when he learned the news.

But there is no way.

Larry Bird became the biggest winner!

The Pacers have been a strong team in the playoffs in recent years, but they have always lacked the possibility of going further.

Now! The opportunity has come!

No one understands Artest's energy better than Larry Bird!

And Kidd is undoubtedly the defender most suitable for the Pacers' defense and passing control system!

Thundering Miller and Kidd's backcourt will become a nightmare for every Eastern Conference team!

At the same time, they also acquired potential insider Jermaine O'Neal from the Trail Blazers last year!

Although O'Neal's data in the first year was only 13+10, the Lakers still wanted to exchange Okuga's first-round pick for O'Neal.

If it were an ordinary general manager, he would have agreed to West's trade request!

In the first round, we added a shooting center who proved himself in the finals. Why not replace him with a 13+10 center who is in the seventh year of his career?

But Bird just doesn’t!

He is sure of O'Neal's potential. He will be a star-level insider! In particular, O'Neal Jr.'s high mobility will allow him to affect the game on both offense and defense.

The Pacers' lineup this season has become - Kidd, Miller, Artest, Al Harrington, O'Neal.

Sitting on their bench are Jalen Rose, Jamal Tinsley, Ron Messer and other bench gangsters!

Young and impactful!

This lineup system is simply a model of violent aesthetics!

Larry Bird never fought so richly!

This lineup will only get stronger and stronger in three years!

"Our time is coming."

These are just some of the changes to star-level players.

With these star-level player changes, the water this summer is getting murky!

Then, deals for superstar-level players began to surface!

The Magic announced they are rebuilding!

Penny Hardaway, a 31-year-old superstar, a top-10 star in the league in his prime, has been put on the shelf!

Last season, Penny averaged 23.7 points, 4.1 rebounds, 8.7 assists, 1.7 steals, 0.5 blocks and 2.7 turnovers per game!

This is a superstar who can guarantee the playoffs with any lineup!

This is the superstar who fucked Jordan with O'Neal back then!

No one could have imagined that a player of this level would be put on the shelf!

Even Hardaway himself was shocked.

"Kobe, I gave everything to this team, but" Penny Hardaway was depressed. He really did everything he could for the Magic.

The final outcome was to be put on the shelf publicly?

For the super giant, this is simply an insult.

"Maybe I should listen to you and leave this team as soon as possible." Pence thought of Kobe's persuasion and O'Neal's words.

The Magic management is a bunch of bastards!

Pence was instantly robbed by the league!

For any strong team, getting pennies almost means a qualitative change!

This is a jack-of-all-trades superstar who is unconditionally compatible from position one to position three and can match any tactical system!

As the big brother, he can lead the team to the playoffs.

As the middle child, he can perfectly match any superstar! Make it easier for them to fight.

In the end Hardaway landed with the Celtics!

Danny Ainge dances on the edge of a knife!

In the competition with Houston, Hornets, Spurs and other super teams, Penny Hardaway was snatched away!

Celtics lineup transformation!

Billups, Penny, McGrady, Van Horn, Kemp!

Then they signed the aging Richmond. Popovich was unwilling to continue to give Richmond a contract, and the two separated!

Another historically strong team is born!

Pence went to the Celtics to assist the most talented player in the league, Tracy McGrady!

This is the third historically powerful team to appear this summer!

This summer is as crazy as the summer of 1998!

Then the Magic's top five Michigan players, Juwan Howard, the first to win a billion-dollar contract, were traded to the Mavericks.

Magic is completely useless.

"Patrick, please retire next year. We need you." Kobe dialed the phone number of Gorilla Ewing.

After Ewing left New York, he bounced around many teams for many years.

Ewing is 40 years old this year.

How strong is his immediate combat ability? Kobe doesn't have any expectations. Kobe just hopes that Ewing can serve as a mentor for the team's new insiders such as Yao Ming, Randolph, and Okur.

Ewing is still good as a coach, and he is also famous in later generations for being good at coaching big men.

"Kobe, since you said so, I'll come!" Ewing is also a straight-tempered man! Immediate decision!

The Lakers are already a trap!

Ewing knows this.

I'm afraid next season, every team will try their best to give the Lakers a blow!

revenge!

The fear of being beaten by OK in the past few years will all come back this year!

This is also the reason why it is so difficult for the Lakers to recruit players this year. Few players are willing to jump into the fire pit.

Ewing is willing to risk everything. After all, he is also a 40-year-old veteran. Years of wandering have made him smoothed by reality.

Since the greatest star in the NBA needs him, then come on!

Maybe in his later years, he can embrace Kobe's thigh and win a championship!

"YAO, welcome to Los Angeles." Kobe gave Yao Ming a warm hug.

Wearing a handsome black suit and sunglasses, Kobe is the center of attention wherever he goes!

"Boss Ke, why did you come to pick me up!" Yao Ming, who had just gotten off the plane, was confused!

Kobe came to pick him up at the airport?

Dare I ask who in the basketball world has this kind of treatment?

Even Jordan might not enjoy this kind of service!

Senseless!

What an honor!

At this time, Yao Ming was filled with happiness.

Kobe really values ​​me.

A scholar dies for a confidant!

Originally on the plane, he was worried about what kind of opposition he would encounter if he entered the NBA, but now Yao Ming doesn't care at all!

With such a boss, what should Yao Ming be worried about?

"YAO, that's a good question." Kobe grabbed Yao Ming and walked outside.

"Why did we come to pick you up? Because we don't have much time left for training."

? ? ?

Yao Ming has an embarrassing face.

I just got off the plane, I am in the United States, and now I am going to train with Kobe. What should I pay attention to?
