My Name is Kobe Bryant

"The Lakers are off to a great start."

"I saw Kobe's performance yesterday. It was very good. For such a player, the sky is his limit."

"We will do our best to win this game."

Pat Riley's official statement did not attract much attention.

This is the style of the fortune teller. His media speeches are always watertight.

However, his coaching of players within the team is extremely strict.

"We must win this game!" Pat Riley squinted his eyes, scanning the Heat players one by one like a godfather.

The Heat currently have 8 wins and 4 losses, ranking fourth in the Eastern Conference.

The top three teams are the Bulls and Magic, which are tied for first place with 9 wins and 3 losses respectively, and the Indiana Pacers, who are 9 wins and 4 losses, lead the third place.

Many people wonder why the Pacers suddenly jumped to third place in the Eastern Conference. Larry Bird has taken the Pacers to a new level this season.

Larry Bird's coaching erased the Pacers' imprint on Larry Brown and injected a new soul!

It seems that the iron-blooded and tough team culture of the peak Green Army has replaced Larry Brown's original dull team style. Reggie Miller, the league's second-leading scorer, also had a second spring under the coaching of Larry Bird.

As the top shooter in history, no one knows better than Larry Bird how to make shooters feel more comfortable.

As a result, the Pacers started with a winning streak against powerful opponents, going from being a fringe team that couldn't even make the playoffs last year, to becoming third in the Eastern Conference.

You must know that there are many more strong teams in the Eastern Conference this year than in previous years!

In addition to these four teams, there are the Knicks led by Ewing, the civilian Hawks coached by Wilkens, the Pistons led by Hill, and the Celtics coached by Pitino. These teams are not easy to deal with. The Pacers can break out of these teams and improve their record in one fell swoop and even crush the Heat's Big Three. This is simply a legend.

If the Pacers can maintain the third position in the Eastern Conference until the end of the season, then there will be no second choice for the best coach this season except Larry Bird!

And Pat Riley is undoubtedly unwilling!

The first-generation Heat Big Three were just formed last year, and the fortune teller was so ambitious that he overtook multiple teams at the end of the season and won the second place in the Eastern Conference.

In the first round, 3:2 passed the test and eliminated Penny Hardaway. The Knicks were eliminated in seven games in the second round, and finally fell to a team recognized as epic like the Chicago Bulls.

For a team that has only been running for one season, such results and performance are barely acceptable to Pat Riley.

But satisfied?

Pat Riley was not satisfied.

Only champions!

The former helmsman of the SHOWTIME dynasty, only a championship can satisfy him!

This season is undoubtedly a great opportunity to win the championship, which is why many teams are crazy about reinforcements.

The Bulls team is in chaos and the soap opera continues. The Lakers are still young and have not yet reached their peak.

Pat Riley will undoubtedly want to take advantage of the situation!

The team has three top All-Stars, which can almost be said to be a replica of SHOWTIME's lineup system, and can seamlessly use SHOWTIME tactics. As long as their final running-in effect can reach 80% of the peak SHOWTIME, then they are expected to win the championship this season.

However, the current record and team performance do not satisfy Riley. The team fell from second place in the Eastern Conference to fourth place in the Eastern Conference, and the performance on the field has hardly improved much compared to last year. This is the biggest headache for Riley.

The three All-Stars, Tim Hardaway, Amozo Mourning, and Jamal Mashburn, seem to have tapped into their potential to the limit, with almost no progress at all. All the teams in the Eastern Conference are improving, while the Big Three of the Heat are standing still. As a result, the gap has obviously widened.

Defeating the Lakers is the best stepping stone for the Heat to take another step forward!

In the last game, the Lakers and Jazz fought to the end. Without Kobe's god-like performance, the Lakers would have lost.

The Jazz have given everyone an example of how to defeat the Lakers.

A guard who could control the ball in front of Kobe - Tim Hardaway.

A mobile inside man with a mid-range shot - Mourning barely counts as half.

Coupled with a bunch of forwards and shooters, this is the best system to deal with the Lakers.

Kobe Bryant changed his destiny in the last game, but can he change his destiny in every game?

Pat Riley believes it’s impossible!

He has seen countless extraordinary superstars, and there are indeed some players who are in great shape when they arrive!

But this state of a god coming down to earth always comes with a CD. In the last game, Kobe shot nearly 70% from the field, so can he perform like this in this game?

Kobe's final score in the last game was 42 points, and he was extremely efficient, making 19 of 26 shots!

Do not make jokes!

If he could hit 70% in every game, then everyone would stop playing and just watch Kobe Bryant perform.

In this game, Pat Riley wants to take advantage of the Lakers and Jazz to fight to the point of exhaustion and take the opportunity to win!

At the same time, let the Heat regain a new lease of life and get on the right path. If the Heat want to resurrect from the ashes this season and finally win the O'Brien Cup, then this game with the Lakers is crucial.

win! Can inspire players' fighting spirit. Making them believe they have the ability to win a championship is very important.

Faith is the first principle of a team's success. The current Heat just lack this belief.

In the future, *** will be able to lead a group of rookies and young players to the finals, and faith is essential.

It is precisely because of this belief that the team can sublimate.

This is why the Knicks look like a Galaxy battleship every year, but their final achievements every year are unsatisfactory.

Pat Riley, wants to give the team a belief.

And the Lakers are the best whetstone!

"Win! We must win! This game will be fought at all costs!"

"If you don't play well, prepare to leave. I believe the Development League will welcome you 'big stars'!"

Pat Riley did what he said, and last year he sent starter Sasha Danilovic to the G League.

The Heat players looked at each other, and it seemed that this game was going to be life-threatening!

Mourning clenched his fist tightly.

No. 1 center O'Neal, I don't accept you!

Although Mourning was beaten by the aging Ewing last year, the tough guy Mourning is still full of fighting spirit.

Defeating the current No. 1 center, Shaq O'Neal, even though it is only a regular season game, it is very likely that he can become one of the "top five centers"!

And such an honor is what Mourning longs for!

After losing to Ewing last year, Mourning will not allow him to lose to O'Neal again this time!
