My Name is Kobe Bryant

"Incredible victory!!!"

"Duncan scored key goals in a row in the last minute. Kobe missed the buzzer beater, but Yao Ming grabbed the rebound and gave Kobe a second chance to make a shot! This time! Kobe gave the Spurs a fatal blow!"

"Lakers 2:1 Spurs! Before the start of this series, who would have thought that the Spurs, the favorites to win this season, would be beaten to a 2:1 lead by a disintegrated Lakers!"

"Yao Ming! The No. 1 pick from the East, although he acted very immature in front of Duncan, he stood up at the critical moment! He became famous with one goal!"

"Yao Ming's rebound is the most brilliant moment of his career so far!"

In the second round, there are also many legendary teams competing against each other at this moment.

But the series between the Lakers and the Spurs is still the round that attracts the most attention.

People want to see when this Lakers will fade away from the luster of a dynasty team.

At the same time, what achievements the Spurs, the championship seed, and Duncan, the league's number one power forward, can achieve is worthy of people's attention.

legend!

The Lakers won this game in a way that no one expected.

It's not that Kobe beats a thousand with one horse, but everyone works together as one, and everyone contributes their best, and finally narrowly defeats the Spurs!

So burning!

In the end, all the Lakers players looked extremely sublime, making countless fans still feel the fire in their hearts after the game!

Even if he is an ordinary player, at such a moment, he still shines with the most beautiful brilliance!

Three points for Xiaoyu!

Demon Sword's breakthrough!

Yao Ming's rebound!

Kobe's killer shot!

Without one, the Lakers have no chance of winning this game.

This is the charm of basketball!

At this moment, the Lakers players did not celebrate, but gathered in front of Galivetti.

"How's it going? Dayao, is it important?"

Yao Ming finally lost his balance before grabbing the rebound. He landed on his wrist as he fell. After Kobe completed the buzzer beater, he was surrounded by Lakers players and returned to the locker room for ice application and inspection.

"Damn San Antonio, there isn't even an MRI machine in the arena. We can only wait until tomorrow morning to do an MRI on Yao." Garivetti looked indignant. He didn't know if there really was no MRI in this remote place, or if these damn San Antonio people were making things difficult for the Lakers.

In the playoffs, there will be various means! For victory, do whatever it takes!

But when it comes to players' careers, that's still a bit too much.

Harris quietly pulled Galivetti aside.

"Can Yao play in the next game?"

"No. The result of the examination just now shows that the best result is a contusion of the soft tissue of the wrist, which requires more than a week of recovery time. Once there is a problem with the ligaments, muscles, or even bones, it will require a minimum of more than a month of recuperation."

"In other words, Yao has no way to attend the next game anyway?"

"Yes, the right hand is the shooting hand. Even if Yao plays closed and loses his shooting ability, he will not have much effect on the court."

"I understand." Harris pondered.

The Lakers won a thrilling G3 victory.

But will we have to face Yao Ming's absence in the next game?

At the last moment of G3, if Yao Ming hadn't grabbed that rebound, the Lakers would have lost.

Without Yao Ming, who will the Lakers use to defend Duncan?

In the next game, Okur can only start.

But Okur's mobility and defense give Harris a headache just thinking about it.

"Is this the end?" Harris sighed.

The Lakers are not without a chance in the next game.

Even if Kobe Bryant scores 70+ or ​​higher, Duncan on the opposite side may not perform much better when facing the Lakers' currently crippled interior defense.

"Jerry, after I leave, I must sign back the big book."

"He is the last piece of the puzzle for our new dynasty."

At the Hilton Hotel in San Antonio, the Lakers players came to Yao Ming's room. Yao Ming's wrist was wrapped with a bandage, and he was excited and disappointed.

The excitement was that he finally helped the team and got that crucial rebound.

The disappointment is that he may not be able to play in the next game.

Yao Ming didn't even consider whether the wrist injury would affect his career. What he wants to do now is to try his best to win this series for the team.

"Yao, you have done a good job." Wu Sheng hugged Yao Ming and patted the big man on the team hard.

"That's right! You took that rebound from Duncan's territory! Who else in the league can do that?"

"I'm afraid Popovich and Duncan want to kill you at this moment! But don't worry! We have always been a thorn in the side of more than 80% of the league's teams! The other 20% are bad."

The Lakers players talked a lot to comfort Yao Ming, who was in a complicated mood.

"However, I may not be able to help the team in the next game." Yao Ming was unwilling to give up.

"Hey, Yao. I believe that one day, you will bring a championship to this team." Yao Ming's mentor Gorilla Ewing touched Yao Ming's head.

"Yes! You will give this old guy Patrick a championship! Otherwise, I'm afraid he won't be willing to retire!"

"The future is ours!"

"We lost, but it's not unacceptable." On a May night in San Antonio, a warm breeze blew.

Popovich sat in his backyard, holding a glass of red wine and sipping.

The Lakers' win was a fluke.

At the last moment, countless chances and coincidences came together to form the final victory.

According to Popovich, this was just an accident.

"Is Yao Ming really injured?"

Although the Lakers did not announce the news, the fact that they borrowed an MRI machine from San Antonio was still spread by the staff.

Yao Ming is injured!

This is a perfect result for the Spurs!

Without Yao Ming, who else can be Duncan's opponent?

"I never thought that this season the Lakers would use such a gesture to bid farewell to the playoffs."

May 15, 2003.

Lakers VS Spurs, the series is over.

At the beginning of the series, the Lakers once took a 2:1 lead. Facing the Spurs, the favorite for the league championship, and Duncan, the league's number one power forward, the Lakers' three military orders! Got momentum!

But the game reached a turning point in G4.

Yao Ming was injured and could not miss the game.

The Lakers' lineup instantly became so lame that it left people speechless.

In order to liberate Kobe, Harris was forced to move both Ginobili and Okur to the starting lineup.

The result was that the Lakers lost to San Antonio in G4117:123.

Kobe scored 51 points, 14 rebounds, 6 assists, 4 steals, 1 block and 3 turnovers.

Ginobili had 27 points and 6 assists.

Stephen Jackson had 21 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals.

The Lakers players still played a very good game.

But the star of the game was San Antonio's patron saint, Tim Duncan.

Duncan scored 31 points and 7 rebounds in the first half.

He made 20 of 31 shots from the field and scored a career-high 55 points, 21 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals and 3 blocks!

Career high!

Scored a career high in the playoffs!

A BUG level performance!

The general also scored 27 points and 13 rebounds, the highest score in this year's playoffs.

Tony Parker scored 19 points and 4 assists.

Horry and Cole teamed up to contribute 7 three-pointers.

San Antonio's offense is on full swing!

Without Yao Ming in the paint, Okur and Stephen Jackson were outplayed by the Spurs in both defense and rebounding.

The Lakers had 41 rebounds in the game, while the Spurs had 56!

In other words, the Spurs have 15 more offensive opportunities!

If Kobe hadn't rushed inside to grab rebounds and grabbed the most 14 rebounds in the team, I'm afraid the Lakers would have collapsed even more miserably!

Tim Duncan becomes a god in one battle!

Such data! Such a performance! How many years has it been since the league has had no insiders to complete the job!

Especially when he did it in a highly watched game against the Lakers.

The key goals in the first two games also made countless celebrities look at Duncan with admiration!

The Spurs are no longer the best backdrop!

This year, they will become the brightest stars in the league!

G5, both sides draw 2:2, Tianwang Mountain!

Back in Los Angeles, the Lakers can't afford to lose anything.

Silver Fox Harris lined up his troops and put together the most daring lineup of his career.

Harris allowed Kobe to reach the fourth position!

Xiaoyu, Ginobili, Bowen, Kobe, Stephen Jackson!

Death five little!

crazy!

When the Lakers' lineup came out, the entire basketball world was in an uproar!

It’s not just NBA commentators going crazy!

At the same time, the famous coaches in the NCAA also cursed!

"What a treason!!! How dare he use a lineup with such height!"

"Letting the strongest guard in history play the fourth position? This is a sacrilege to basketball!"

"Harris the Silver Fox, a great career was ruined in one day."

How could Harris not know the advantages and disadvantages of such a lineup!

But this is no longer possible.

The Lakers' last ditch effort.

Because when the inside collapses, even if Kobe scores 70, he may not be able to recover.

Moreover, Kobe, who was distracted from rebounding and frantically assisting in defense in the paint, was not as able to unscrupulously focus all his attention on offense as he was before when he concentrated on dueling with Jordan Iverson and others.

In the current Lakers team, Kobe has too much to do.

Especially when Okur is in the starting lineup, facing Duncan and General, both offense and defense are simply decorations.

His steps are too slow! Impacting the team both offensively and defensively.

In this case, Harris can only choose to fight for his life!

G5 between the Lakers and Spurs became the most exciting game in this year's playoffs.

Even Stern was deeply attracted by the matchup between the Lakers and Spurs, two teams with very different styles!

Kobe directly faced Duncan in both offense and defense!

crazy!

Everyone thought this was a crazy decision!

But Kobe actually withstood it!

His defensive effectiveness surpasses that of Stephen Jackson and Okur!

Even better than Yao Ming!

The whole audience was obsessed with Duncan!

Duncan is rarely given the opportunity to connect the ball!

Crazy steal!

Fight back!

At the same time, he was risking his life to grab rebounds!

Duncan was confused for a moment!

Even though he was confident that he could crush Kobe with his height and strength, it was difficult for him to connect the ball with Kobe's crazy closeness!

The Lakers gave the Spurs no chance to adjust.

In the first quarter, there was a crazy attack wave of 40:21!

Kobe had 13 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals and 2 turnovers in a single quarter!

Duncan changed his previous invincible image and only scored 5 points in a single quarter!

"Crazy! Kobe is crazy!"

"We are looking forward to what kind of method Kobe will use to win the game. The last game proved that the Lakers cannot win with offense alone! So in this game Kobe will tell everyone that he can do more than just attack!"

"The strongest defensive back in history! He blocked the league's number one power forward!"

In the second quarter, Popovich made adjustments.

The general came off the court and replaced the dual-core duo of Parker and Stockton.

Use the small to defeat the small!

With Parker as the second point guard, it becomes more difficult for Kobe to block Duncan.

The Spurs began to return to stability, and the score was getting closer.

In the fourth quarter of the game, Horry hit consecutive key three-pointers, and the Spurs had quietly caught up with the score.

Duncan continuously challenged Kobe in the last 2 minutes of the game!

However, what everyone didn't expect was that Kobe blocked Duncan's 45° rebound!

In the end, the Lakers relied on Ginobili's last-minute shots and free throws to score 6 points and win the game!

3:2!

The Lakers won the match point!

Kobe had 47 points, 21 rebounds, 13 assists, 7 steals, 5 blocks and 6 turnovers!

40+20+10+5+5!

Kobe once again completed a miracle!

Under his defense, Duncan only scored 31 points, 16 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks.

Although it is still terrifying, it is not a phenomenon-level performance.

G6!

The Spurs sent five players from the beginning!

They understood that with Kobe at the fourth position, the Lakers' interior defense would no longer be so vulnerable!

Kobe was running all over the court, but his performance in the last game consumed too much energy.

The performance of the Lakers' role players also began to decline after reaching its peak in several consecutive games.

In the end, the Lakers lost G6 88:107.

In this game, Kobe scored 31 points, 15 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals, 1 block and 5 turnovers.

Duncan had 33 points, 12 rebounds, 5 assists, 6 blocks, 2 steals and 2 turnovers.

Duncan is getting more and more accustomed to Kobe's defense.

After all, his height, wingspan, and strength are overwhelming in all aspects. After Duncan gets used to it, Kobe's defensive effect will become worse and worse.

G7, a life and death battle.

This game takes place in Los Angeles!

The Lakers lineup is adjusted to Xiaoyu, Kobe, Bowen, Stephen Jackson, and Randolph.

This is a lineup that completely leaves Kobe alone!

Harris decided to ask Kobe to give up the defensive end, give up the protection of rebounds, and concentrate on offense!

Kobe controlled the Lakers' offense alone!

This is the most brilliant individual scoring performance.

Kobe proved to the world his greatness.

He made 29 of 51 shots and scored 70 points, 5 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks.

Kobe once again performed miracles.

Harris' tactic worked.

Kobe's performance once again shocked the world.

But the victory in this game does not belong to the Lakers.

Duncan made 18 of 29 shots and scored 48 points, 23 rebounds, 3 assists, 6 blocks and 1 steal.

The general made 14 of 16 shots and scored 34 points and 17 rebounds.

In the end, the Lakers 107:115 Spurs.

The Spurs' twin towers defeated the Lakers' weak inside line and led the team to the Western Conference Finals.

The Los Angeles Lakers, for the first time since the 1996-1997 season, stopped in the second round.
