My Name is Kobe Bryant

Chapter 861 Golden Rooster Independence

"As expected." When Stern announced that Kobe Bryant won the MVP, the whole of Los Angeles fell into a sea of ​​joy.

Old Bass raised his red wine glass and paid tribute to West.

This season the Lakers, West, and Kobe have all been under too much pressure.

However, when the regular season ended, people discovered that the invincible Lakers dynasty was still ranked second in the Western Conference.

Kobe was once again elected MVP and played the best regular season of his career so far.

And West's various operational decisions are also considered to be a stroke of genius!

This season for the Lakers is undoubtedly another very successful season.

And after this season's training, the Lakers still have a lot of room for improvement next season.

When Yao Ming matures and finds a way to get an All-Star assistant, the Lakers will once again become the greatest team in the league.

not easy.

It's really not easy to play this ups and downs season so far.

If it weren't for Kobe, the Lakers would have collapsed long ago.

Kobe played in all 82 games, playing full attendance, and his average playing time reached a career-high 41.2 minutes per game.

This is why Bass so decisively agreed to replace O'Neal.

O'Neal left the Lakers and was no longer the dominant player in the league.

The Lakers left O'Neal and are still the greatest team!

With Kobe, the Lakers will never be a weak team.

Kobe is the emblem of the Lakers. Seeing Kobe attack O'Neal last season made Buss feel heartbroken.

Kobe's maturity and O'Neal's naivety both gave him mixed feelings.

And now, when O'Neal has truly left, Kobe has become the best version of himself!

Old Buss couldn't help but laugh when he imagined O'Neal watching Kobe win the MVP in Houston.

At this moment, O'Neal was indeed slumped in the large sofa customized for him.

"Fake, Kobe." O'Neal mumbled weakly repeatedly.

He already knew the result.

From the moment the Lakers beat Houston in March and Kobe Bryant dunked the basketball on top of him, there weren't many variables for this year's MVP.

But when Stern announced the result, O'Neal still found it a bit difficult to accept.

In the Lakers, he will never have a chance to win an MVP.

And now, when he leaves the Lakers, he seems to have no hope of MVP.

At least in Houston, that's no longer possible.

If O'Neal wins the MVP this season, no matter how the playoffs progress, he will most likely stay in Houston.

And now.

If the Rockets cannot reach the Western Conference Finals in the playoffs, O'Neal has made up his mind that he will leave the team.

Go to a team that can win MVP and win a championship.

And once this happens, the chips Houston used to trade O'Neal will be lost.

O'Neal doesn't think so. In his opinion, the chips used to exchange for the one-year usage rights of Uncle Shaq are already worth it.

If Alexander knew O'Neal's thoughts, I'm afraid he would vomit three liters of blood.

"Congratulations, Kobe." When all the awards were announced, Harris announced the disbandment of the team.

As soon as Kobe picked up his phone, he was bombarded with countless calls and text messages.

There are people like Penny Hardaway and Vince Carter who congratulate.

There are also provocative ones like Garnett and McGrady.

There are also phone calls from relatives such as Lao Qiao and Vanessa.

Kobe replied one by one.

This MVP is really tough.

Everyone who has accompanied Kobe through this period of time understands this.

During the final winning streak, Kobe exhausted all his energy many times.

The state at the end of this year's regular season was the worst in Kobe's career.

Exhausted.

It is hard to imagine that a player with nearly 30 years of career experience will exhaust his physical energy at the end of the regular season.

But Kobe had to do this.

If he doesn't work like this, the Lakers' record at the end of the season will definitely collapse.

In the end, the Lakers won the second place in the Western Conference, which shocked everyone!

You must know that the Lakers team, their second core is just a 17+8 rookie!

There are probably several second-star players from other top clubs in the league, not to mention rookies, even All-Star players.

McGrady is surrounded by Penny, Billups and Van Horn.

Webber has Pierce and Peja next to him.

Duncan had Stockton at his side, Admiral.

Garnett has Ray Allen and Marbury beside him.

Iverson has Odom next to him.

Which top team's second-in-command is weaker than the Lakers?

No!

It is simply a miracle that the Lakers can achieve such a record.

This is also the reason why Kobe was able to win the MVP as everyone expected.

The playoffs begin quickly two days after the awards ceremony.

The first round of this year’s playoffs was restructured.

In the first round, the system of 3 wins from 5 games in previous years was changed to 4 wins from 7 games.

It's hard to say whether this kind of restructuring is good or bad.

The level of attention in the first round is not too high, because the strength difference between the top four and the bottom four teams is too big.

The level of enjoyment of the game is undoubtedly not high, which also makes many fans feel that it is not very interesting.

But the increase in the number of games will undoubtedly greatly increase the league's revenue. There is no doubt that whether it is tickets or broadcast fees, this format can allow the team to earn more.

The NBA has always been a capital-dominated league, and it is understandable that Stern made such a choice.

"Here is Los Angeles Staples. Kobe Bryant, the MVP of the 2002-2003 season, received the MVP trophy from Stern!"

"Averaging a triple-double per game! Averaged 43.6 points per game! 70+ times 4 times and 60+ 5 times in the season! 50+ points 11 times!"

"Seven buzzer beaters in a single season!"

"Kobe Bryant, he is the God of War in Los Angeles!"

"Kobe Bryant single-handedly saved the broken Lakers dynasty!"

"His legend continues! His miracles continue."

"Kobe, congratulations." Stern smiled and held Kobe's hand.

It can be said that without Kobe, there would be no panic in the current NBA world. Kobe's performance in several seasons has completely ignited the NBA and entered a new era.

"David, thank you." Kobe smiled knowingly, took the trophy and held it high.

"Steve, do you think I can lift this trophy one day?" The Mavericks boss, German tank Nowitzki, looked envious on the sidelines.

This year, Nowitzki's scoring average has reached an exaggerated 27 points per game, second only to O'Neal in the paint.

And his hit rate reached the 180 club.

Even so, Nowitzki is always a little unsure when facing the Lakers.

This is the haze that has been ruled by the OK dynasty for many years, and many teams in the league are like this.

"There will be, Dirk. I believe you." Nash said to the German tank with a sincere face.

Nash truly believes that his teammate Nowitzki will one day dominate the league.

Although many people currently say that he is a softie who can only fight while floating.

But this does not affect Nash's respect for King Nuo.

"Then let's start by defeating Stephen Jackson." Nowitzki thought to himself.

Last season's playoffs were a shame for King Notre Dame.

Stephen Jackson has almost become Nowitzki's nightmare.

This was the first time that Nowitzki was beaten so badly. Even by Duncan and Garnett, Nowitzki's offense was rarely completely blocked.

And now, the chance for revenge has come!

A whole year! Nowitzki has been preparing for this day for too long!

Trample Stephen Jackson under your feet!

"Good morning, dear viewers! Welcome to watch the Lakers vs. Mavericks in the NBA playoffs brought to you by Xixi TV!"

"This is the first playoff derby in the history of our Chinese players! And they are also the starting opponents!"

"Is Yao Ming, the little giant, better, or Wang Zhizhi, the young man who chases the wind, is more sophisticated?"

"Edit the text message # 1 represents Yao Ming # 2 represents Wang Zhizhi, send the text message to 100998 to support your favorite player!"

"The lucky spectators will even get a pair of exquisite Mamba Sports boots! More shots will give you more opportunities!"

"Mute! Do you know how to watch the NBA, please mute the sound!" In front of the school's TV, a group of grown-ups gathered in front of the newly installed TV in the classroom, calling their friends.

They heard the commentator's voice and were already impatient. They eagerly turned off the sound and chattered about the game.

"How many points will Kobe score in this game? 50+ or ​​60+?"

"Yao Ming will definitely win this game with Kobe."

"The German tank Nowitzki is also very strong! Do you know how to play football?"

"Do I, Wang Zhizhi, the young man chasing the wind, have no face?"

The teenagers quarreled for their idol star.

There is no doubt that Kobe and Yao Ming are far more popular than other members.

The Lakers are almost China’s national team! Because of the presence of Yao Ming and Kobe Bryant, the Lakers have been regarded as the home team by countless people.

Although the Lakers have experienced a lot of setbacks this year, they have still made it this far tenaciously.

The Chinese derby between Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi also attracted a lot of attention.

One is the national hero Yao Ming, and the other is Wang Zhizhi, who is not recognized by the mainstream.

No matter what their support rate is, they represent China's level in the NBA, the highest stage of basketball.

"Hit from the back! Dirk gently leans against Stephen Jackson!"

"He pushed forward, then stepped forward, with his left foot as the axis and his right knee raised high!"

"Lean back! Nowitzki used a strange but very stretched movement to gently pull the basketball out of his hands!"

"Stephen Jackson has absolutely no way to interfere!"

"Nowitzki's shooting point is too high! And his knees are not just for show!"

"The basketball fell straight into the center of the basket!"

Nowitzki clenched his fists!

The long, flowing hair is fluttering in the wind!

He did it!

"The golden rooster is independent..." Kobe mused.

Dirk's Golden Rooster independence is interesting.

Extra height, plus a dropback, and a high knee.

This is almost an offensive move that is completely impossible to defend.

Wu Sheng can easily defend Nowitzki alone when Nowitzki has not yet mastered the ability to play the Golden Rooster from behind.

but now.

Wu Sheng is no longer a match for Nowitzki.

"Steve, the big men on your team are growing up very fast." Kobe stood close to Nash.

"Yeah."

"Then when will you become the real MVP?" In the entire arena, Kobe is probably the only one who knows how terrifying Nash's strength is.

That's an offensive talent that can change a team.

But even now, under the guidance of a mad scientist, Nash has not fully liberated himself.

His personality is still too accommodating to his teammates.

If Nash lets go, he can produce an MVP-level performance of 25+13.

But now, he is just a first-line defender averaging 15+9 per game.

Not to mention the best team, he doesn't even seem to have an All-Star appearance.

"Kobe, this may be the best version of me." Nash smiled bitterly.

Only Kobe in the entire league has confidence in him.

But his performance disappointed Kobe time and time again.

Nash is now a 29-year-old point guard.

How much room for growth does a white defender have at the age of 29?

Even Nash believes that this season's performance has reached his upper limit.

Mark Cuban has no plans to re-sign Nash.

Nash even feels that he will only be on a team outside the playoffs next season, let alone expect a big contract.

It would be great to be able to continue playing in the starting lineup.

Kobe took a deep look at Nash.

"If that's the case, why not come to the Lakers next season."

"By my side, I will make it clear to everyone how bright you are meant to shine."

Nash smiled bitterly: "This is still the playoffs."

"Then let's end this series first and then we'll talk." Kobe raised his eyebrows.

Although Nowitzki is killing everyone, Kobe is not worried about the outcome of this series.

Nash was strangled to death by himself, and most of the calf was disabled.

The Mavericks without Nash are just a singles team that plays its own game.

Unless Nash can play MVP-level aggression, there is no way the Mavericks can win against the Lakers!

Even Kobe's physical condition is not good and he feels bad.

"Brother Da, I want to win this game." Yao Ming looked determined and took the basketball from Xiaoyu.

Hold the ball and wait and see, teammates have no chance, and the Mavericks players have no help in defense.

Then challenge yourself!

Yao Ming leaned against Wang Zhizhi!

"If you want to win, then come." Wang Zhizhi looked calm. He had long wanted to see how his compatriot had grown this year!

After years of experience in the NBA, Wang Zhizhi knows that his upper limit is a starting player.

And only in specific teams can you have the qualification to start.

This is the upper limit of Wang Zhizhi's talent.

But Yao Ming is different!

Yao Ming has been favored by countless people at home and abroad since before he entered the league!

His performance in his rookie season has even surpassed that of Wang Zhizhi!

Selected as the top pick! Win Best Rookie!

Yao Ming became the hope of Chinese basketball.

But that's not a good thing.

If there is not enough ability, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

Wang Zhizhi doesn't want to see the future, and countless fans despise Yao Ming.

"Let me see if you have this ability! Shoulder the hope of Chinese basketball!"
