My Name is Kobe Bryant

After the game, Heat player Amozo Mourning and team coach Pat Riley accepted media interviews together.

"Hello, Amozo, what do you think of Kobe's killing of the Heat?"

Mourning's face was livid, and he wanted to shake his head and leave the table, but that was too rude. You can't lose if you lose. This is the Heat's home court. He must give an explanation to the reporters and audience here. Mourning scored 43 points, 16 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 blocks, 1 steal and 3 turnovers in this game. He made 17 of 22 shots and 9 of 15 free throws.

"That goal was amazing. There are many miraculous performances in the NBA. This is the NBA, and this is where miracles happen. Unfortunately, today's miracle happened on the Lakers' side."

"Can you describe in detail what Kobe did in the last shot? And why he was able to 1v4 and complete an incredible lore."

"Eh Kobe broke through Mashburn with absolute speed. At the last moment, Mashburn couldn't keep up with Kobe. Then Kobe used a fancy turn to shake off Sasha Danilovich, and that turn was very fast. , Very stable. Then Kobe used a Z-shaped breakthrough and passed PJ Brown. To be honest, I think that ball is suspected of walking. I have never seen a player who can swing so much in a three-step layup.”

"Finally he faced me and we hit each other, no guard could hit me and come out unscathed! Same thing for Kobe, he got hit on his back. Then he threw the ball up in the air and it hit the board. . I've never seen anyone score with their back to the rim, and Kobe's lucky, and hopefully he'll be the same in the future."

Mourning said a lot of yin and yang, and attributed Kobe's goal to luck, which would make him feel better. It can also make it easier for fans to accept.

On the other side, Pat Riley was also interviewed at the same time. Shen Suanzi's facial expression lost control for a moment after Kobe hit the lore, but he quickly returned to normal, returning to that handsome godfather style.

"Mr. Riley, what do you think of Kobe, who turned out to be the Lakers?"

Riley smiled slightly: "I hope he is a Heat player."

"Will the loss of this game affect the Heat's ranking? Because of this loss, the Heat are once again behind the Pistons."

"It's just a regular season, that's all."

"Is the current run-in of the team satisfactory to you? Has the SHOWTIME system been fully established?"

"The tacit understanding of players cannot be formed in a day or two, and a system cannot be established in a month or two."

Pat Riley, an old fox, fooled the media's questions with a few words.

And on the next day, this game once again made the headlines on various pages, and the super rookie king Kobe once again won the game! This time the background board became the Big Three of the Heat!

"Lore! Peter Pan scored 11 points in a row to beat the second place in the Eastern Conference! "

On March 21, 1997, the Lakers played away against the Miami Heat.

The strong confrontation between the league's No. 1 team and the No. 2 team in the East has attracted a lot of attention. The game was ups and downs, whether it was technical and tactical drills or the performance of the players, it was impressive.

The scores of the two sides of the game were staggered, and the leading side alternated many times. When the Lakers collapsed across the board in the penalty area, they were uncharacteristically able to bite the score. The willpower of these Lakers players is very strong.

Kobe in the last two minutes! It is even more surprising that the gods usually scored 11 points in a row. This is the most outstanding key performance we have seen this season. Kobe used incredible offensive and defensive performances to forcefully recover the point difference and surpassed three players in a row! In the end, he beat the Heat in front of the tough guy Amorzo Mourning. This performance makes us unable to believe that he is only an 18-year-old rookie!

We have already estimated Kobe's ability high enough, and the title of the strongest rookie king in history was placed on his head early. But Kobe is refreshing our recognition of him time and time again! The deeds that Kobe has accomplished, two 60+, triple-double, 7 consecutive 40+, and so on. These are things not even accomplished by some veteran superstars. And Kobe did it!

Alliance record harvester, alliance honor harvester. Kobe is becoming an epoch-making player like Wilt Chamberlain, just like what the Big Dipper Wilt Chamberlain said. Players like them are born to break the common sense. 20 years later, maybe we will miss the night of Wilt Chamberlain’s 100 points That's how to miss the record Kobe created!

———Los Angeles Daily

The length of the newspaper, etc., once again blown Kobe to the fore.

The Lakers players were a little tired. After finishing the game against Miami, they only had a day off before going to Orlando to face the Orlando Magic, which is currently 38 wins and 29 losses.

Magic this season can be described as many disasters, first O'Neal's departure, then Hardaway's injury. In the past two years, they were the most promising team in the league. Almost everyone believed that Pence and O'Neal would win the championship in a few years, but this season they even struggled on the edge of the playoffs many times.

This team is definitely not weak. They have superstar Penny Hardaway in their lineup, and Nick Anderson, a top shooting guard who was 20+6+4 when he led the team with a single core. Shooter small forward Dennis Scott, the Bulls' first three-peat three-headed Cobra Hoss Grant, acquired from the Warriors, averaged 17.3+9.5 per game this season to replace O'Neal's Lebanese center Ronnie Sekaly.

Such a set of starters is even enough to compete for the top four in the Eastern Conference. But they have always hovered between 7th and 10th in the Eastern Conference. Such a record made the management face shameless, and finally forced Hardaway to come back early due to injuries. As a result, starting from next season, Hardaway's athletic ability dropped by a notch, falling from the superstar rank, and eventually became a glass man.

Of course, Kobe was not happy to see Penny Hardaway ruined by injuries, but his repeated persuasion still couldn't stop Penny's determination to lead the team to the playoffs.

Kobe can fully understand this kind of determination. In the Lakers, even if he broke his Achilles tendon, he had to fulfill his promise to Old Buss and lead the team to the playoffs. Do you regret? Regret that in order to enter the playoffs, or even be swept in the first round of the playoffs, you broke your Achilles tendon and completely lost the chance to win again?

Kobe never regrets, this is a man's promise.

And Penny Hardaway, in fact, is the same kind of person as Kobe.

On March 23, the Lakers players played away against the Orlando Magic.

The Lakers players who had no physical fitness to fight against the Heat suffered their eighth loss of the season in Orlando.

Lakers 84:110 Magic.

Under Kobe's defense, Hardaway still scored 28 points, 7 rebounds and 8 assists. Nick Anderson 21 points, Cobra Grant 16+16.

Kobe's 31 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists could not reverse the situation. Apart from Kobe, only Eddie Jones scored in double figures with 13 points for the Lakers.

Magic upset! Give the league's No. 1 Lakers their eighth loss of the season! Ended the Lakers' 12-game winning streak.
