My Name is Kobe Bryant

On May 4, 1997, the game between the Lakers and the Sonics was about to start at the Great Western Forum.

"Ready to know, what is a real playoff level of confrontation? Kobe? I will teach those youngsters of the Lakers a lesson, just like I did with the Trail Blazers. The journey of the Lakers team is coming. That's it, our Supersonics were last year's Western Conference champions, we can't fall on a new army!" Payton set the flag wildly in the interview before the game, he was a little swollen, after completing the seal against the Trail Blazers, Something sparked in Peyton's heart.

"Love ghost movies to scare kids! This round of the series will make you understand what real fear is!"

Payton wants to destroy Kobe in this round of playoffs! Destroy the Lakers!

Kobe has occupied too many of his honors this season! The second team of the best team and the first team of the best defensive team, these things were obviously Payton's honor last year, but after a season, these things were all stolen by Kobe!

Damn Kobe is a thief!

And if Payton wants to get back all his honors, the easiest way is to prove himself in this series.

The performance in the regular season is only a reference after all, and the performance of Fengshen in the playoffs will be immortalized by the world. For example, this year's Kevin Johnson and Penny are enough to be called legends. Although they didn't win the series, their performance was enough to answer any doubts about them. If Penny hadn't been too hip-stretching in the previous two games, he would have been blown to the sky and portrayed as a lonely hero at the end of the road.

However, Hill's performance in this round of playoffs was not outstanding. In the end, the team lost to the even worse Atlanta Hawks, a team without traditional stars, and the only big bowler was a defensive inside team. . This is enough to make him punished with words and pens for a long time. The treatment of his Jordan successor, the treatment of the future league face, and the invisible assets of the super popular king may lose a lot in this round of playoffs.

And Payton wants to do the same! Go kill Kobe! Crush Kobe's honor and turn it into his own spoils.

Payton knew very well in his heart that the Supersonics team had gone downhill. Although their core players and coaches had not changed, Kemp's contract and the team's separation caused the team's record to decline. George Karl said generated dissatisfaction. Various factors will cause this young team to fall apart in an instant. The Supersonics are a strong team without superstars, and a strong team without superstars always lacks a continuous stability. The ups and downs, last year was the champion of the Western Conference, but this year has been reduced to the fourth in the Western Conference.

Payton didn't want to leave the Sonics, nor did he want the Sonics to disintegrate. Although the relationship between him and Kemp can only be said to be passable, he can't understand Kemp being distracted by money, and Kemp can't understand him being aggressive in the media, but as long as he wins, as long as he has continuous victories, then Everything is salvageable.

Winning is the best solution to your team's problems.

And across in front of Payton is the Lakers, a historic 70-win team.

Even so, Payton had no fear.

Too young, this team is too young! Being young means inexperienced, which means that the playoffs will be deflated. This is a process that every young player will go through. Payton doesn't think these Lakers players will be an exception.

"Kobe, let me teach you what the playoffs are."

"Kobe, Payton said that he wants to teach what is the playoffs and what is a man's sport. What do you think?"

Kobe grinned, his thin cheeks revealing his signature white teeth.

"COME ON, if I remember correctly, the Sonics and our record is 3:1." Eddie Jones interjected directly from the side.

"Eddie is right. I hope that Payton will have some reasonable performance before he speaks out next time."

Kobe is in a good mood recently. He easily took away his opponent in the first round, and the box office of the movie exploded. In the second round, he also played against the relatively weak Sonics among the four top giants in the West.

Although the Sonics are strong, they are not a team that can beat the Lakers. Kobe seems that 5 to 6 games are enough to finish this round of the series.

"Gloves are not convinced that he is in the second team of defense, and I am in the first team of defense? Then let me tell you, if he doesn't have Kemp by his side, he won't even be in the second team. I know better than anyone. Kemp is worth a billion-dollar contract! Without Kemp, the Gloves and the Sonics are nothing!"

Kobe has a sincere face, and no one can see that this old guy in the cloak of an 18-year-old boy is playing tricks again.

Touting players whose contracts have expired! Let Kemp swell, change his style of play, and let him switch from eating cakes to singles. Stepping on one handful and keeping Payton and Camp at a distance, these tricks may not be useful for some players with high golf quotient and high IQ, but will it work for Rain Man Camp, whose brain is damaged by alcohol and drugs?

Kobe didn't know, but he just tried, and he didn't have to be responsible!

What if it works out? It's not that Kobe has never done this kind of thing. Once he succeeds, the benefits he gets are terrifying. The two armies are at war, attacking the heart first!

"We have to kill two points. We are the only team in the league capable of killing Kobe and O'Neal at the same time. We have Payton who can defend Kobe alone, and we have Kemp who can withstand O'Neal. This is our Biggest advantage!" George Karl circled on the tactical board.

This point is actually somewhat watery. There is still a team in the league that has just escaped from Phoenix that has this configuration, and that is Houston. But other than that, no third team can, or dare to defend Kobe and O'Neal alone at the same time.

Two nuclear bomb-level superstars, the threat of any outbreak is terrifying.

Only the Sonics and Houston have such a single defense against Kobe and O'Neal at the same time, but it is one thing to have the configuration, and another to know how effective it is.

"Leave it to me!" Peyton patted his chest.

On the other hand, Rain Man Kemp was wandering away. He was reminiscing about Kobe's praise of him on TV just now.

"It turns out I'm so good!"

The compliments from his opponents made Kemp very happy.

"That's right! I'm worth a 100 million yuan contract! This round of playoffs, I want to prove it to everyone!"

"Sean? Sean? The coach is talking to you!" Peyton shook Kemp, who was in a daydream.

"Oh! Good coach! I see."

George Karl has a black hair, the goddamn stupid big guy. I don't want you to beat O'Neill, apply early and trade you away.
