My Name is Kobe Bryant

Chapter 894 Sweep and win the championship!

In a mansion in Miami, O'Neal's wife, Shaunie O'Neal, was holding their four-year-old son Sharif, watching this legendary game of the century.

Four-year-old Sharif is much bigger than his peers.

"Daddy! Daddy!" Sharif smiled happily when he saw O'Neal on the TV.

"Sharif, one day you will stand on this stage like your father and Uncle Kobe." Shaunie O'Neal doted on Sharif's furry little afro.

"Why do Uncle Kobe and Daddy wear different clothes?" Sharif was confused.

He vaguely remembered that when he was in Los Angeles a few years ago, his father and uncle Kobe were wearing yellow and purple clothes.

And now, why is Daddy wearing black clothes?

Could it be that Uncle Kobe doesn't want him because daddy doesn't play well?

"Because they all want to win, and there can only be one winner."

"Kobe moved!!!"

The ball jumps at Kobe's fingertips!

Basketball is Kobe's old friend.

He stayed with Kobe for decades.

Now, this elf seems to be a part of Kobe's body!

accelerate!

The basketball in your hand is jumping around!

O'Neal stared into Kobe's eyes!

Basketball can lie!

Hands can deceive!

Shoulders can be deceiving!

All O'Neal could do was look at Kobe's eyes!

And Kobe also told O'Neal unabashedly-I just want to go to the right.

O'Neal slides!

Although he has a strong body, his steps are not slow at all!

Kobe is short!

Take a big step to the right with your left foot!

The ball is in your right hand! Don't give O'Neal a chance to touch the ball at all!

Two steps!

O'Neal was left behind!

Karl Malone has a fierce face!

‘If you dare to come in, I’ll show you some color! ’

But there was no shadow of the postman in Kobe's eyes.

Collect the ball!

Take a step!

Leap high!

The body seemed to have lost gravity in the air.

Hold the ball high with one hand!

Raise fire to the sky!

The body forms the shape of a battle axe!

Blocked Malone's waving arm with his left hand!

Smash the ball into the basket with your right hand!

"boom!"

Malone was stunned!

A huge force!

He was knocked to the ground by Kobe's violent impact.

He sat down on the ground.

The screams of Staples fans could be heard in my ears.

All he could see was Kobe hanging on the basket with one hand and a stern expression on his face.

Karl Malone rubbed his chest and his eyes.

"Dunk!!! Death dunk!!!" Barkley went crazy.

"Kobe Bryant broke through Shaquille O'Neal and blocked Postman Malone!"

"Killed two NBA 50 superstars in one round!"

Staples is fired up!

The shouts and noise of the fans could be heard for miles!

"F*ck!" In countless offices, a social beast suddenly stood up and exclaimed, making countless people look at him.

exaggerate!

This goal is too exaggerated!

The sweat on O'Neal's forehead was invisible to the camera.

"No. He wasn't that fast two years ago." The big shark muttered something in his mouth.

Kobe's goal sounded the clarion call for the Lakers' offense!

First, he made a steady free throw.

Then in the next round, Eddie Jones succeeded with a strong mid-range hit and caused 2+1 again!

Then after a pick-and-roll with Yao Ming, he assisted Nash and scored a three-pointer!

9:0!

Pat Riley called timeouts continuously.

O'Neal turned around and dunked Yao Ming like a king came to the world.

The Lakers started double-teaming the Sharks!

Ben and Yao Ming block the Sharks!

The three outside players rotate infinitely!

This scene seems to be back to the series when the Bulls strangled the Sharks!

Malone resisted the pressure and hit two three-pointers to keep the score open!

A superstar is a superstar!

But the Lakers' offense can no longer be suppressed!

Kobe, Nash, Anthony!

Three outside lines made the Heat's defense exhausted!

"Congratulations to the Lakers! Winning the Finals GAME 1!!!!"

In the end, the Heat 107:115 Lakers!

Won!

The Lakers won the first game of the Finals!

Nash had 25 points, 4 rebounds, 17 assists and 1 turnover!

Kobe had 43 points, 7 rebounds, 9 assists, 5 steals, 3 blocks and 2 turnovers!

Anthony had 18 points and 5 rebounds.

Big Ben had 4 points and 18 rebounds.

Yao Ming had 13 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 blocks.

Zach Randolph had 16 points and 7 rebounds.

The Lakers defend their home court!

On the other side, O'Neal had a huge triple-double with 37 points, 21 rebounds, 11 assists, 3 blocks and 4 turnovers.

15 of 23 shots!

It's absolutely terrifying!

In this performance, the Sharks suppressed Yao Ming and scored a triple-double!

Wade faced Kobe's defense in his first appearance in the Finals and scored 14 points and 6 assists.

Eddie Jones scored 23 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists.

Malone scored 18 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists.

The Heat's performance has been perfect.

But the Lakers are even greater!

The Lakers won G1!

This means that the Lakers are 70% certain to win the championship!

This night, Los Angeles was very restless.

June 6, 2004.

There are still 4 hours before the start of the game, and the crowd has already surrounded Staples.

Media from almost every country in the world that you can name came to the Staples venue.

This became the center of the world.

"I bet that the Lakers will sweep the Heat in four games. They will eventually win 16 legendary games and become the first team in history to sweep the championship." A boy who is only 14 years old but nearly 1.9 meters tall, His face was full of trust in the Lakers and Kobe.

"Really?" Beside him, a young man with some baby fat on his face and eyes that couldn't open as well as Maddie, was thoughtful.

The two of them are the lifelong enemies of the three Los Angeles Splash brothers-Paul George and James Harden.

For this game, they received two tickets from Mamba Sports.

Paul George wore Kobe's No. 24 jersey, while Harden shyly wore a black T-shirt.

"Seriously! If the Lakers can sweep O'Neal and win the championship, that would be so fucking awesome!" Paul George's words attracted unanimous approval from the surrounding Lakers fans!

Sweep and win the championship!

This has never happened before in history.

Regardless of the historical strong teams of the year.

Bulls Dynasty.

OK Dynasty.

None of them have ever done it.

And basketball is constantly evolving.

Everyone can see that there are more and more strong teams in the league now than in previous years!

Basketball is growing!

84 diamond generation.

96 golden generation.

03 Platinum Generation.

There are also players around these prime draft years that promote the continuous development of this league.

There is no doubt that this is an unprecedented time for basketball!

Every year a team wins the championship.

But a sweep to win the title?

Even avid Lakers fans would not have dared to dream of this before this season.

And now, the Lakers really have a chance to accomplish this legendary feat!

G2 starts the fight!

In this game, O'Neal fought tooth and nail!

Death-defying!

At the beginning, he scored 8 points by making 2 of 3 free throws and 2 of 3 free throws. He beat Yao Ming to his second foul in 5 minutes.

Helplessly, D'Antoni had no choice but to replace Zach Randolph, who performed well on the court.

Let Ben defend O'Neal and Randolph defend Malone.

O'Neal played the big game alone and had an absolute advantage.

The height advantage is too great!

Catch the ball, turn around, throw!

Big Ben has no temper at all.

This is undoubtedly a dream start for the Heat!

They seized the opportunity, O'Neal scored 19 points and 7 rebounds in a single quarter, the Heat 27:21 Lakers! Take the lead.

"The Shark is definitely not unworthy of his reputation." Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who acted as the commentator for this game, lamented.

The mature and experienced big shark now is more difficult to deal with than the stupid young man when he was young!

When he was young, O'Neal might have had to go head-to-head with Big Ben to see who was stronger.

Maybe O'Neal has a slight advantage, but it will never be so easy.

But now, the Sharks are playing too smart.

He just uses his height advantage and his lateral body width advantage to hit you without any temper at all.

At halftime, Heat 62:51 Lakers!

The leading score reached 11 points!

The Lakers' outside shooting feel has declined today.

Pat Riley took advantage of Yao Ming's absence and frantically took advantage of the score.

"Tianhook!!! What!!! Karim, is this what you taught him?"

Section 3!

Yao Ming started the game and received a pass from Kobe. Under Malone's gaze, he turned sideways and hooked the ball softly in the mid-range position.

Hollow into the net!

Staples is boiling!

Lakers fans will never forget the unique skills of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in the 1980s!

At this moment, the sky hook shines brightly on Yao Ming again!

"Last summer, I taught him a little bit." Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was equally surprised.

In one season, Yao Ming mastered Tian Gou?

This is not an easy technique to learn.

Just look at the fact that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is the career scoring leader in NBA history, and no one except him uses Sky Gou alone, you will know how difficult this technique is.

"Yao Ming is perfect for Tian Gou."

He is as tall as a giant.

Soft feel.

Smart golfer.

He has the same hard-working spirit as Kobe.

The combination of these factors allowed Yao Ming to learn this magical skill!

"If this is not a flash in the pan and he can use this move flexibly, then the Lakers will have three superstars." After Kareem Abdul-Jabbar finished speaking, the commentators were quiet for a moment.

Three super giants!

There is no such team in history.

Even many giant teams have more superstars.

Just like the Celtics and Rockets back then.

But there has never been a situation where three super giants in their prime have played on the same team!

Pat Riley's hands were shaking.

No one understands the dominance of Skyhook better than Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's coach.

This is a skill that cannot be defended.

A magical skill that can make the 40-year-old Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who even struggles to walk, average 20+ per game!

Whether you score or not doesn't depend on the defender at all.

Of course, if you are Chamberlain, Russell is another matter.

Now Malone and O'Neal of the Heat obviously do not have the ability to defend the sky hook!

Pat Riley desperately hopes this is just a flash in the pan.

But with Yao Ming's cautious character, how could he do something he's not good at in the finals?

This move!

He has been preparing for too long!

This is the trump card the Lakers left for the finals!

In the following third quarter, Yao Ming made 6 of 8 shots from mid-range.

Every ball is a sky hook!

Malone stood there like a wooden stake, watching in a daze as Yao Ming caught the ball, turned sideways, stepped on his feet, and hooked the ball.

All he could do was daze.

There is a height difference of more than 20 centimeters.

In addition, the shooting method is still a sky hook.

Why waste energy on defense?

In the third quarter, Yao Ming tied the score!

82:82!

The Lakers and Heat enter the fourth quarter!

At this time, O'Neal had scored 35 points and 12 rebounds.

But he had absolutely no confidence that he could win this game.

"Fight!" The big shark clenched his teeth!

When he was in Los Angeles, there was no series where he played so desperately!

The Shark, with red eyes and crazy, beat Yao Ming for 6 fouls in 5 minutes of the fourth quarter!

The game is in a stalemate again!

After Yao Ming left the game, the Lakers lacked an offensive support point.

The Heat began to double-team Kobe and Nash crazily!

"Carmelo!!!" No one could have imagined that in the fourth quarter of G2, the Lakers would stand out with a rookie like Melo Anthony!

Anthony fired one after another from outside the three-point line!

Missless shots!

When the Heat's defensive focus completely came to Kobe Nash, he frantically shouldered the team's offensive burden!

"I finally understand why so many people think the Lakers can sweep this invincible Heat." Kareem Abdul-Jabbar sighed secretly.

The Lakers can always have someone step up!

The first game is Nash.

The second game is Yao Ming Anthony.

Under the leadership of Kobe, the spirit of these players is full of championship temperament!

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar somewhat believed the reports released by Lakers reporters about how the Lakers trained.

I thought it was just some bragging.

As for the Heat, it seemed that O'Neal was able to resist everything.

But O'Neal never truly believed in his teammates.

Why is Kobe so young yet leading the team in a more sophisticated way than O'Neal?

Kareem doesn't know.

Maybe this is a natural leader.

"Damn! Damn! Damn!" O'Neal once again grabbed offensive rebounds against Ben and Randolph, and succeeded in the second attack.

But he found that the point difference between the Lakers and the Heat was getting wider and wider.

Powerless!

O'Neal once again felt his powerlessness when facing the Bulls and Rockets with the Magic.

But O'Neal was still young at that time and had unlimited possibilities.

Now?

O'Neill felt a little powerless.

He is already in his 30s.

It is no longer like when I was young, after playing a game, I would sleep and wake up energetic the next day.

Pippen and Malone on the team are also reaching the age of retirement.

O'Neal felt himself for the first time, as if he had been defeated by time.

Maybe if we lose this year, we will never have a chance to win the single-core championship again?

No.

Looking at the Lakers, who have a strong army and an endless stream of talented players of different ages, O'Neal even feels that he has no chance of winning the championship.

'Maybe leaving the Lakers was really a mistake. ’

"Swipe! Sweep! Sweep!"

At the end of the game, Heat 107:119 Lakers.

The sky above Staples no longer screams MVP.

No longer shouting for the championship.

Instead, it's a sweep!

This year's champion!

No more suspense~!

What are the Lakers pursuing now?

Sweep the Heat!

Sweep the playoffs!

Sweep the championship!
