My Name is Kobe Bryant

"This is North Carolina! The center of the basketball world!"

"Michael Jordan, the league's number one player, and Grant Hill, the league's number one small forward, welcome the Lakers!"

"We will be a great team in the new century!"

"Michael Jordan will win his sixth championship and become the greatest player in history!"

The Lakers players felt the atmosphere of the game of the century as soon as they got off the plane.

North Carolina blue is everywhere!

Fans painted their faces blue!

Blue slogan!

Blue graffiti!

This is a blue ocean!

Compared to the craziness of some religious fans of the Jazz, North Carolina fans are no less generous!

They are complete believers of Jordan and Hill!

NCAA fans are the most fanatical group.

Compared with the commercial NBA, NCAA fans are more pure. They will support local teams crazily regardless of the team's record. Because players from local universities often grow up under their noses.

At the same time, the alumni relationship in the United States is very strong, and many players on local teams are the children of their relatives and friends. It can be said that they are like their relatives!

From the moment Michael Jordan returned to North Carolina, fans throughout North Carolina were in shock!

This is just like the sensation caused by Yao Ming winning the championship in the NBA and then returning to play in the CBA!

Countless fanatical fans have made the Hornets one of the top three profitable teams this season.

You must know that the Hornets in previous years were at the bottom!

This season, they only ranked behind the New York Knicks in the Big Apple and the Los Angeles Lakers in the City of Angels.

The consumption levels of fans in the three places are quite different, but in such a market, the Hornets still achieved an exaggerated profit.

This is the greatness of North Carolina Flyer Michael Jordan!

Stern has always wanted to get a piece of the NCAA's pie, but he has never been able to do so.

No matter what the Hornets record is and what kind of stars they have.

Such as Mourning, Bugs, Big Mom, Queen Rice, Anthony Mason, Divac.

These stars have all led the Hornets to the playoffs, but the response from the market was not as good as some of the league's weaker teams.

But this year is different!

North Carolina is the core area of ​​the NCAA, and now the fans in this area are all fans of the Hornets.

"Have you felt the atmosphere of the Battle of the Century?" Byron Scott opened his hands as if he wanted to hug something.

"This venue is waiting for us to conquer." Kobe was a little excited. The crazier these fans are, the more pleasure it will be to conquer them!

June 8, 1999!

North Carolina! Charlotte!

There’s a huge crowd outside Charlotte Coliseum!

Tens of thousands of fans surround this not-so-big stadium!

Reporters from all over the world were frantically filming every frame, trying to record these crazy moments!

The players arrived early to prepare for the game.

"It's finally here." Michael Jordan put on his North Carolina blue AJ11 on his feet.

People are used to wearing the number 23 in red jerseys, but the blue number 23 is equally handsome!

You know, Jordan wore a blue jersey in college. This season, it is even more because of this that he has made countless NCAA fans regain their youth.

In a flash, 15 years have passed since 1984!

In his 15-year career, Jordan has won 5 championships, 30,000 points, 5 FMVPs, 4 regular season MVPs, 2 All-Star MVPs, 9 scoring titles, 3 steals titles, and 13 All-Star starts. Rookie of the Year, Defensive Player of the Year, 12 All-NBA Teams, 10 All-Defensive Teams, countless Player of the Month and Player of the Week awards.

This is because he took two years to play baseball. If it hadn't been for those two years, maybe his career scoring average could hit 40,000 points per game.

Such an honor is enough for him to compete for the position of the first man in history.

And he's already in the lead!

That is to say, Magician, Skyhook, and Lord of the Rings are more worthy of being the number one player in history than Jordan in the eyes of some fans.

This is also the opinion of a few fans, the ring is always more convincing.

After all, except for Magic and Jordan, they have more rings than Jordan.

But in the eyes of the vast majority of fans, after Michael Jordan defeated Kobe Bryant and won the fifth championship, he was already the first person in history and the god of basketball.

That year, Jordan became a god.

But in his second year, after losing to Kobe, things changed.

The godhead is unstable!

The young Kobe, after defeating Jordan, has the authority to challenge the gods!

This year’s finals will be a battle of gods!

The two people who tied 1:1 will have a real aspiration to the supreme stage of basketball!

Jordan has been waiting for this moment for a long time.

He has been looking forward to the final battle with Kobe!

The moment has finally arrived!

Regardless of whether they win or lose, this battle will be the last battle between the two of them.

Jordan knows his body is declining, he is already 36 years old!

This season, he pays great attention to physical maintenance and rest, which he has never done in previous years.

Jordan's condition is now better than ever!

Grant Hill helped him maintain his final peak!

Next season, Jordan knows that he will never be able to maintain his physical peak no matter what.

Even if he can ensure that his offense does not decline much, his defense is no longer the DPOY that can dominate the game.

The pinnacle battle, the last year!

Jordan didn't think about whether he would retire after the season.

If he wins, maybe Jordan will bid farewell to basketball gracefully and let the entire basketball world be filled with his legend.

The God of Basketball will completely crush all doubts and secure his throne as the first player in history. It will be almost impossible for those who come after him to overthrow his rule.

Because Kobe lost, players who want to surpass Jordan must first defeat Kobe and then win 7 or more championships.

There is no way this kind of player exists anymore.

If he loses, an unwilling Jordan may continue to play!

You can lose! But it's impossible to give up!

Even Jordan knew that he would probably be further and further behind Kobe!

He is not willing to give up fighting Kobe!

Fighter!

Dying in the gladiatorial arena was his greatest honor!

"I will win." Jordan's eyes were as domineering and confident as ever.

"Let's go, Michael!" Grant Hill, it's our turn.

"Yes, it's our turn."

Michael Jordan tightens his shoelaces.

The DJ played the war song!

In the darkness, a beam of light shone into the player tunnel.

Grant Hill takes the lead!

Next up is Isaiah Leder!

Vlade Divac!

Dennis Rodman!

Finally, under the spotlight, the God of Basketball, wearing a North Carolina blue sports coat and a domineering smile, walked into the court step by step.

"The divine war! It begins now!"
