My Name is Kobe Bryant

"It's a pity that we lost to the Lakers at home. We had a lot of opportunities to defend the home court, but we lost. We lost this round of the playoffs. The Lakers are a very good young team. They have a group of talents. A very high future star." Richmond accepted the post-match interview, his face was unwilling to be swept away at home.

Richmond still has some red marks on his fist, where he hammered hard on the locker room door after the game.

"Kobe? I know what you want to ask. Kobe has performed very well in these games. He scored a triple-double and scored 30+, but I will not say that Kobe beat the Kings alone. No one can do it. Until one guy breaks us down, even Jordan."

"You can say I'm quibbling, but this is the truth. Without Shaq, I can handle Kobe alone. Of course, the Lakers' opponents in the next round will prove this."

Richmond's way of deceiving himself and being preoccupied disappointed the media in Sacramento.

Competitive sports are kings and losers.

Is it difficult to even admit the greatness of the opponent when you lose? Although Richmond's strength has always been very good, perhaps the reason why he can't achieve results is his mentality.

The media fell into a brief silence, and then many media turned around and turned to the Lakers. There were fewer and fewer interviewers on the king's side, and Richmond snorted when he saw this situation, and left the meeting angrily.

"The best rookie playoff performance in NBA history!"

"Who else is I, the first person in history."

"The legendary beginning of an 18-year-old boy."

"The facade of the new era - God No. 8."

On the second day, the media across the United States was already celebrating the Lakers' entry into the second round. Kobe's performance in the first round was only three games, but all three games were amazing. Especially compared to the struggling Grant Hill and Penny Hardaway, Kobe's performance is precious.

Some newspaper headlines in Los Angeles even made Kobe fans blush and heartbeat.

Not! Really not!

Stop licking! Dirty there!

In the eyes of most media commentators, Kobe is a new idol, enough to replace Penny and Hill as the new darling of the media. In Los Angeles, Kobe has been regarded as the son of the media, and he can boast about it.

Especially Kobe's movies are currently in hot theaters, and Kobe has begun to be portrayed by the media as an all-around genius! A super genius who is equally talented in basketball and art. Sports and art are two completely irrelevant contents. No one in history has been able to have a double harvest, but Kobe did it!

Although Kobe Bryant's movies are somewhat irrational and scary. But this can better portray a unique image of a talented boy. Kobe is not the traditional gentle gentleman idol like Hill and Penny, nor is he domineering and big brother like Jordan. Spinach and smoking and drinking, with a strong American old gun style.

Kobe's current image in the media is an all-around genius! He is out of tune with this era, but continues to have an impact on this era with his own style.

Originally planned to criticize Kobe for not doing business properly after the release of Kobe's movie, and at the same time complain about how bad the media directed by Kobe is. After Kobe's movie received unanimous praise from people in the film and television industry, he began to praise it.

It has become a trend to praise Kobe now. Except for the base camp media of a few rival teams, the vast majority of neutral media hold a praise attitude towards Kobe.

These Los Angeles local media praised Kobe too much. This kind of Hollywood-style pyramid scheme media reports caused verbal criticism from the media and some celebrities in other parts of the United States.

"Congratulations to the Lakers for becoming the first team to break through the first round, but I have heard enough of Kobe's praise recently." Rockets' legendary center Ralph Sampson took the lead in accepting media interviews. This is the sound made after the third game between the Sun and Houston.

At this time, the current situation between Houston and the Suns was very anxious. The Suns went down first, and then Olajuwon scored 30+10 in the second game, and blocked the Suns' offense in the penalty area with one hand. One person dominated the penalty area, leaving the Suns with no other player except Kevin Johnson who could score consistently.

At the same time, everyone knows that top centers and top point guards are the best tempo controllers. Olajuwon's poor state in the first game was brought up by the Suns. The Suns played a smooth and fast offense, implemented Danny Ainge's offensive thinking, coupled with Kevin Johnson's incomprehensible performance, in the end Olajuwon and Barkley's inside advantages were not shown at all, and they wasted a lot of running time. physical fitness.

G2 was completely different. Olajuwon really dominated the penalty area, and the audience firmly controlled the rhythm of the game without giving the Suns a chance to rise. The sun is in a stalemate in positional warfare, then it is absolutely impossible to beat Houston, which has a double superstar insider.

Although Kevin Johnson, the best player of the month in April, still scored 28 points and 7 assists, which was not worse than Olajuwon, but this game basically scored 5 points, 4 rebounds and 8 assists. Ceballos scored 9 points and 5 rebounds. Manning's performance of 7 points and 9 rebounds still cost the Suns this game.

Kidd was a bit stealthy in this game, and his rebounding and defense still fell behind the aging Drexler. Ceballos struggled with the identity of Jim Jackson. As these veterans in Houston slowly recovered, the Sun's shortcomings were exposed. In the end Houston won Game 2.

Rhythm has become the top priority of this round between Houston and the Suns. The characteristics of the two teams are completely different. In the post-game, each other showed their respective advantages.

But in the third game, the Suns won again!

Back at the Phoenix Suns home court, under the crazy cheers and cheers of thousands of Suns fans, the home court bonus allowed them to overtake the score after falling behind for a time.

In the end, Kevin Johnson was like a god of war! He scored a career-high 41 points in the playoffs! Score 13 points in a row in the last quarter, and the mid-range jumper will kill Houston!

Lore! The first lore of this year's playoffs! Presented by Kevin Johnson! At the last moment, he swayed Mario Avery with two cross steps and then reached the middle distance, dramatically completing the lore in front of Barkley who was defending!

Cheers all over the sky! Phoenix is ​​really like a phoenix nirvana at this moment.

On the other hand, Barkley has always felt guilty for Phoenix. The 10-success power was less than half of the game. Amid Phoenix's boos and insults, Barkley only made 9 shots and hit 4 of them. A production volume and efficiency that make it unbelievable that this is what the league's second power forward can play.

In the last shot, the scene of Kevin Johnson throwing the lore with the corner of his mouth slightly raised, and Barkley looking back in panic, has also become the most classic scene in the first round of this year's playoffs.

Olajuwon scored 26 points, 15 rebounds, 5 assists, 6 blocks and 3 steals in this game. It was almost a 5X5 overall performance, but it was a pity that he was unable to recover in the last fourth quarter.

I am a god, Kevin Johnson is a god in one game. Based on his performance in G1 and G3, he is the best player in the first round of this year's playoffs. Even if there are players in the East who have performed brilliantly, even if he eventually loses this round of playoffs, Kevin John Hoon is also worthy of pride.

The Suns 2:1 Houston was cornered, and the Big Three will face the possibility of being hacked as soon as they are formed.

That's why Ralph Sampson stood up in the media and attacked the Lakers to attract the media's attention and distract firepower. For this trick, the old Americans are all old experts, whether it is in the sports world or future politicians. Whenever there is a conflict among themselves, they will always set up an external enemy to spread the hatred.

For example, in the United States under the leadership of Chuan Chuan, the free black~life~expensive~people~rights (fear of being caught by the river crab crazy wave) movement occurred, and after the wave of cold deaths, their media and the government~government’s handling methods for these are all things No, at the same time, go crazy targeting Huaguo and some lame political moves to attract the attention of domestic civilians.

This effect is indeed remarkable. Even in the age of highly developed social media in 2020, these things are slowly suppressed, and the people continue to live as if nothing happened. Chuan Chuan did not get confused because of these things It must be said that the peasant uprising was really powerful.

It's a pity that the Suns were overturned by Houston in the next two games.

Drexler scored 27 points and 11 rebounds in Game 4. His state is getting better and better. This game has found his peak state. On the other side of the Suns, Kidd fell into confusion. He was disgusted by Drexler's defensive style of defense against penetration and shooting. He scored single digits in two consecutive games. Kevin Johnson was double-teamed by Drexler after Kidd was emptied, and his state also began to decline. In this game, he only scored 19 points and 4 assists on 7 of 16 shots.

G5, back to Houston.

Olajuwon played 45 minutes and directly scored 29 points, 21 rebounds, 7 assists, 4 blocks, 2 steals and 1 turnover. After returning to the home court, Barkley finally recovered his state, scoring 23 points and 14 rebounds, two Personally firmly control the Suns' inside line and on-court rhythm. And Kevin Johnson fought until the last minute, even if his feet were staggering, even if his knees were so swollen that they needed to be pumped before the game. Kevin Johnson played 46 minutes and scored 25 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists and 4 turnovers on 9 of 23 shots.

Barkley and Kevin Johnson look at each other for a long time

The Jazz were the second team to sweep 3:0. Utah's two elders seemed to be able to handle the immature wolf king Garnett and the old Beijing Marbury with ease. This is a teaching series. The level of confrontation between the two sides and the changes in the game situation are far from being comparable to other teams. It should be said that this is the most harmonious round of the game. The Timberwolves did not feel that they could win from top to bottom. It is very important for the team to be able to enter the playoffs this year and win the seventh place in the Western Conference. It's amazing.

Harmony, from the game to after the game, the atmosphere of both sides has always been very harmonious. Garnett and Marbury are indeed playing with a learning attitude.

Garnett and Malone hugged and chatted for a long time after the game. When Marbury and Stockton hugged, they cried out in pain because they touched the wound that was pinched purple all over Stockton's body. In this round of teaching, Marbury and Garnett really learned a lot

The Supersonics and the Trail Blazers were 3:1. The Supersonics beat the Trail Blazers without any danger. Payton's defense was fully reflected in this round of the playoffs. He blocked the Blazers' perimeter alone. And Kemp is also full of vitality in front of the old Sabonis. The future Roaring God Wallace's performance in this round of playoffs is also very sluggish. This is the normal state of rookies, and almost all stars have come through like this.

This means that the Lakers' opponent in the next round will be the Sonics.

"LA? KOBE? I'll let you guys understand!"

Payton talked nonsense to the Lakers directly after the game, and Kobe snatched his best defensive team for a while. He was very unconvinced about this, why! Obviously compared with last year, his defensive ability has not changed much. Why was he the best defensive player last year, but this year he can only be in the second team?

The bulls swept the bullets.

The three-headed monster with bullets, Weber, Speeding Car, and Howard try to resist.

but

Bulls are too strong

The Eagles and Pistons were in a stalemate 2:2. The Eagles won one game first, then the Pistons moved two games in a row, and then the Eagles won another game. The two sides entered the tiebreaker 5. This round of the playoffs is a collision between a single superstar and team basketball. The core of the game is Hill and Wilkens, not the players on the court.

In the final fifth game, the Pistons lost to the Eagles 79:84. In this game, Hill made 9 of 24 shots and only scored 21 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists. Wilkens has already figured out the Pistons, using two or even three people to intercept Hill outside the penalty area.

And Hill's jumper is indeed not as dominant as Kobe and Jordan. Faced with this situation, the end of his forcibly swallowing the ball is ultra-low efficiency.

The people of Atlanta are all soldiers, and they directly defeated the Detroit Pistons, who have occupied the second place in the East for a long time, with the fifth place in the Eastern Conference. However, the Pistons' poor performance at the end of the season, and Hill's awkward play style, such results are not surprising.

Heat 2:2 Magic, Penny made 16 of 30 shots in the third game, scored 42 points, 9 rebounds and 2 assists, which is the highest score so far in the first round. But even so, it was very difficult for the Magic to win. The Heat only lost by 7 points. If none of the Big Three scored 20 points, it is really hard to say who will win this game. Penny's 42 points also gave him the right to breathe. Kobe also called to congratulate him. This game is hard. Then the Magic won again in G4, Hardaway back-to-back 40+ (real data)! Hardaway scored 41 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists in G4.

40+ in a row, 40+ back to back! Penny Hardaway found his form after the continuous slump in the first two games and became another lone hero besides Kevin Johnson in the first round.

But his outburst came too late, and Pat Riley finally found a way to deal with him in G5. Pat Riley never let one guy break his team.

Unless, that person is Jordan.

Unless, that person is Nowitzki.

Unless, that is Duncan.

unless

G5 Magic 83: 91 Heat, Penny 33 points, 10 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal, 2 blocks, 2 turnovers, unable to recover.

Then there was the Knicks against the Hornets, and the Hornets unexpectedly lost 3:0.

Glen Rice averaged 45.7 minutes per game and averaged 27.7 points, 3.7 rebounds and 3.7 assists on 9.3 of 19 shots, but Ewing crushed Divac with 63.6% shooting. The Hornets lost a bit simply. Most people think that even if there are less than five games in this round of playoffs, at least four games will be needed to determine the outcome. No one thought the Hornets were so vulnerable.

After the game, the manager of the Hornets directly took the blame and resigned, which also caused heated discussions.

There are different reasons for the resignation. The loss in the playoffs and the deal with the Lakers may be the fuse.
