My Name is Kobe Bryant

"I won! I won!" Kirtland Biss looked excited. He still feels like he is in a dream. The gap between the Supersonics and the Supersonics last year was still huge, but this year they actually lead them 3:0! This series is almost certain to be won. The changes in this are really amazing.

The point difference in this game has been dropped to more than a dozen points, and facing a top league team like the Sonics, with a famous coach like George Karl sitting in front of him, and stars like Payton and Kemp at the finale, they want to make a comeback The difficulty can be imagined.

And the Lakers did it! To be precise, Kobe did it!

Kobe single-handedly smashed the glove Payton's defense! Smashed McMillan's defense! Smashed Kemp's defense!

One ride is worth a thousand! Bury the Supersonic with a superhero performance! Bury this team that was the brightest future in the league last year!

Payton and Kemp's faces were livid, and they went straight back to the locker room without saying a word.

It's over, the journey of this season is over.

Not only did it not go further than last year, this time it did not even break through the West.

Lost, lost to a youth team like the Lakers, lost to a rookie player like Kobe.

Kobe's performance in Payton's entire career has only been seen on Michael Jordan, and Kobe is the second.

Even so, Peyton was still very unconvinced.

Losing to an 18-year-old boy, and being blown out in a crushing matchup, how could Payton be reconciled.

At the press conference with reporters after the game, Payton's face turned purple after hearing Kobe's words, and he was even more heartbroken. He even said that he had a myocardial infarction and almost couldn't catch his breath.

"Kobe, congratulations on winning Game 3! Leading the Sonics 3-0! Became the only team with a 3-0 opponent in the conference semifinals. May I ask how you feel now?" the reporter asked. Putting it in front of Kobe, the reporter almost wanted to eat Kobe. If it wasn't for the protection of the security personnel, they would probably poke their microphone into Kobe's mouth.

"I'm in a good mood." Kobe smiled slightly.

"The Lakers became the only team in the playoffs this season to keep winning! This is an amazing achievement! Congratulations!"

"Here, I have to praise my teammates. If there is no Shaq's support, Robert's all-around offense and defense, and Bruce and Big Ben's dedicated defense, then we would not be able to maintain such a record in the playoffs. !” Kobe gave his teammates a thumbs up.

"The Lakers team does have a lot of talented rookies, but some rookies such as Eddie Jones and Xiaoyu performed very poorly in this series. What do you think of their performance?"

"Man, a team can't have everyone perform. The team's tactics are that some players contribute silently, so that other players can shine. But the shadow behind the light does not mean that it is meaningless , Without their silent efforts, all the stars would not be able to play so easily. Every teammate is a part of the Lakers, and I respect every teammate very much." Personal experience since.

The reporter kept writing and recorded Kobe's words in an instant. In this major commercial league, there are often stars, but role players seldom leave any footprints. It is very rare for Kobe to speak out for these role players. Even Michael Jordan never praised Cole.

"Next question."

"Kobe, who do you think will be your opponent in the next round?"

"The Jazz has a better record, but I am more optimistic about Houston. If the veterans in Houston don't paddle in the regular season, it is not impossible for them to win 70 wins. But it is by no means easy for Houston to win. The thing is, the pick-and-roll tactics of Carl and John are too strong. So far, no team can guarantee to guard against them in every game. I guess this round of the series will last at least 6 games, A tie-break is also very possible." Kobe did consider who their opponent would be in the Western Conference Finals.

If it is the Jazz, then it is good news. The Lakers have already gained experience playing against the Jazz. The Jazz's biggest flaw is that no player can match up with Kobe. And their strong point Malone and the Stockton Lakers have players who can restrain themselves. In addition, even if the Lakers lacked O'Neal in the regular season, they still won the game. The Lakers are still full of confidence in being able to beat the Jazz.

While the Jazz are in their prime, they're more athletic than Houston. But the Lakers really prefer the Jazz as their opponent. It can be said that the Lakers' lineup has a touch of restraint for the Jazz.

As for Houston, they have too many stars. No one can say what kind of energy these stars will explode, even if they are no longer in their prime, even if their physical fitness and competitive state have declined significantly. But as long as these stars play their peak form in one or two games, it will be a very big trouble for the Lakers.

These superstars are all experienced Hall of Fame players, and it is definitely not a problem to break out a few games in a series. Even if they didn't break out, they definitely played at an All-Star level.

In addition, Houston brought in Jim Jackson for Kobe and Jordan to form an iron-blooded defense line with three forwards with an average height of more than two meters. It is really very difficult for the Lakers to defeat them.

It can be said that Houston is full of champions! In any era, they are the absolute top seeds of the championship. The championship of the Lakers' youth team is definitely not as good as Houston. This is a team of kings who have both stars, role players and famous coaches.

"It seems that Kobe is already thinking about his opponent in the next round." A reporter humorously threw out the meme of the first round of the playoffs, which caused a burst of laughter.

"Then one last question."

"Let me come! Kobe, since you are already thinking about your opponent in the next round, what do you want to say to your opponent in this round, the Supersonics? Will you sweep the Supersonics? Or go back to the home court and deal with them ?”

"Back to Los Angeles? No need, these guys, they don't have to go to Los Angeles." Kobe raised his eyebrows.

"You mean you're going to sweep them?"

"There is no need to prolong this round of playoffs. What should end must end."

"They don't have to go to L.A., they're here, in Seattle, and let the dust settle."
