My Name is Kobe Bryant

"Deal." Dr. Bass's face was rosy, and he happily shook hands with the billionaire Phil Anschutz, the owner of Anschutz Entertainment, and the Los Angeles city leaders in front of him.

Business tycoons and politicians finally reached an agreement.

Anschutz purchased the Los Angeles Kings in 1995 and began looking for a new arena for their team in 1996.

When Anschutz was approached by Los Angeles Recreation and Parks Commission Chairman Steve Soboroff, Soboroff asked them to consider building an arena in downtown Los Angeles near the convention center. The proposal caught the attention of Roski and Anschutz, and plans were quickly drawn up to develop the arena.

The Lakers' outstanding record in the past two years allowed Anschutz to include the Lakers in his plan for the new arena!

finally! As the Lakers continued to break history, Anschutz and Buss engaged in months of negotiations with city officials.

Finally, developers and city leaders reached an agreement!

The new arena will be privately financed at a cost of $375 million and named after office supply company Staples, Inc., one of the center's corporate sponsors paying for naming rights.

"You know, if it wasn't for Kobe, I'm afraid those vampires would have asked for a higher price!" Anschutz winked at Old Buss.

"The Lakers' recent outstanding performance has helped us secure this prime location in the city center!"

The new arena, Staples, is adjacent to the L.A. Live development and is located next to the Los Angeles Convention Center complex on Figueroa Street. This is a truly prime location in LA!

"We will bring one of the best arenas in the world!" Bass said in front of the media.

"Kobe, we are going to have a new arena!" This topic has been discussed in the Lakers locker room recently.

"Staples." Kobe raised his head, and there was some inexplicable look in his eyes.

Is the place where I have struggled for many years, the place where I have become famous, the place where I have won five championships, finally coming?

A new arena, the most luxurious and modern arena of this era in the United States built with US$375 million! Every player dreams of playing on a venue like this!

The players are extremely excited! At present, they don't know how long it will take for the arena to be completed, and whether they will stay in Los Angeles by then is also a question. But every Laker is proud of it!

Purple gold in one day! Laker for life!

"Guys, let's get a few championship flags to fill the empty sky above the new arena!"

On March 8, 1998, the Lakers faced the Pistons at home.

"Larry, are you sure you want to rebuild?" Before the game, Harris and Larry Brown sat on the sidelines talking.

This season's Pistons can be said to have completely collapsed. After Grant Hill tried his best to drag the team into the playoffs but failed, and instead suffered injuries, the Pistons were hopeless.

Thankfully, team management still supports Larry Brown. It was decided to let this famous coach take charge of the Pistons' revival. That was a relief to Larry Brown.

"Yes, the team is too old. I hope to use three years to build a championship team for Grant. There are still many stars in the league who want to play with Grant." Larry Brown is optimistic about signings Hill's attitude, personality and ability make him compatible with almost every star in the league.

"Rebuilding requires a little luck." Harris disintegrated the Lakers after Magic retired. After going through many difficulties and dangers, he rebuilt the Lakers into the strongest team in history.

Without Kobe, Harris doesn't think the Lakers can rebuild successfully.

Can the Pistons replicate the Lakers' success? Harris thinks there is no chance. There are too many teams in the league who want to find the second Jordan and the second Kobe, but none of them can succeed.

The success of every top team is filled with irreplaceability.

Jordan and Kobe are equally unique.

Harris is skeptical of the optimism of old friend Larry Brown.

Of course, there was not much suspense in this game between the Lakers and the Pistons. The Lakers easily won the victory amidst the roaring tsunami at home.

On March 11, the Lakers played at home, Trail Blazers 107:121 Lakers.

The Lakers won again.

"Shaq, you have become the strongest center." Sabonis gave O'Neal a bear hug!

This former god of Eastern Europe! I have been completely convinced by O'Neal.

O'Neal made 14 of 21 shots in this game and once again scored 45 points, 16 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 blocks, 1 steal and 3 turnovers.

"Arvydas, thank you for the compliment." O'Neal touched the back of his head in embarrassment when facing this international basketball superstar.

On March 12, the Lakers faced the Clippers back-to-back.

"Why didn't I get a guy as good as Kobe?" Sitting in the Clippers' box, their boss Sterling was smoking a cigar, hugging a woman, and drinking red wine.

It seemed comfortable, but the scenes on the playing field made the white supremacist angry.

"BOSS, are you racist?" Elgin Baylor couldn't laugh or cry. He also had a lot of dissatisfaction with the boss.

But there is no other way. If you want to make some achievements and slap those old friends in Los Angeles in the face, you can only work in the Clippers.

soon. This season, the Clippers have 13 wins and 48 losses, ranking last in the league.

In Baylor's view, reconstruction is a necessary process for the Clippers.

And this process doesn’t take long!

Get ‘Candy’ or ‘UFO’ this season!

Get a top rookie next season and sign a superstar. The team is now set up.

The only unhappy thing is that even if the Clippers get rid of the weak position, can they really beat OK?

Baylor felt that unless he returned to his youth and came back to join the Clippers, there was really no hope.

"Kobe, please! Please be gentle!"

"Please stop it! Akko!"

"Don't fight anymore! Don't fight anymore!"

On March 15, the Lakers traveled to Vancouver, Canada, to face the Grizzlies away from home.

Raheem was hoarse.

Billups looked gloomy.

Educated again. Billups tried his best in this game!

0 for 11! 0 points, 1 rebound, 2 assists and 6 turnovers!

despair! Why can't I make a single shot?

Either he was covered or robbed!

Billups had a sullen face. He couldn't count how many times he had been taught a lesson by Kobe this season.

Rahim is also desperate!

Why is my point guard so lonely?

He obviously worked so well with Duncan in the All-Star Game! Why can't I change myself?

Rahim always feels like being NTR!

He was obviously Billups' teammate first!

Why is it Duncan again and Kobe again!

You have gone too far!
