My Name is Kobe Bryant

October 30, 2003, Staples Center, Los Angeles.

Yellow jerseys are all over Staples.

The fans in Los Angeles are so passionate!

"Awesome! We won all the preseason games! This year's Lakers will definitely be the best team!" A middle-aged man with a big belly, popcorn in his left hand, beer in his right hand, wearing a fat Kobe Bryant jersey, bragging everywhere.

"That's right! Lakers championship! This year's Lakers will definitely have another legendary season!"

"What is that idiot Barkley talking about? The Lakers are finished? Are the Lakers rookies? The Lakers' No. 2 pick is just a lottery-level small forward? He is farting!"

"Win all 7 games in the preseason! The starting five are all on the court at the same time, and the average margin of victory is as high as 32 points per game!"

"Steve Nash, the son of the wind! He is a passing master who is as good as Magic!"

"Melon Cameron! His immediate combat ability even surpasses that little emperor in Cleveland!"

"Especially with Ben's return, the Lakers' defense in the penalty area is finally no longer bullied by others! Ben cooperates with Yao Ming, a big center with super long range, and his offensive problems will not affect the team at all!"

"In addition, Kobe is 25 years old and has completely entered his prime!"

"This is a super team! I believe the Lakers will win the championship!"

The remarks of the middle-aged man with a big belly attracted cheers from the surrounding fans!

Well said!

Lakers fans are excited!

In just one year, the Lakers were freed from the collapse of the OK dynasty?

They haven’t even experienced a real low! The worst team last year was the top team that played seven games against the championship team.

What a privilege it is to be a Lakers fan and a Kobe Bryant fan!

Will a new era follow?

When will the next dynasty begin?

Lakers fans are looking forward to it!

"The new season! It's begun!" Fox yelled strangely, and the Lakers players walked out of the player tunnel!

The first one to appear is Steve Nash!

Nash, with his long flowing hair, looks radiant!

He is no longer as cautious as he was as a calf!

Now he knows his own energy!

He is the strongest passing master of this era!

Next is Big Book!

Ben, who shaved off his afro, set Staples on fire as soon as he appeared on the stage!

"Welcome home!" fans held up slogans.

Ben had a smile on his face.

For several years in the Pistons, although he was Larry Brown's appointed leader of the team, fans have always disliked this core who has no offensive ability and cannot help the team win.

Back in Los Angeles, Ben felt like he was home!

Melo waved his hands gracefully and ran into the court.

With his bright appearance among black people, coupled with the aura of being the second pick and leading Syracuse University to win the NCAA championship, fans cheered wildly for this rookie of their team.

Yao Ming jogged onto the court.

Before Nash arrived, he was the Lakers' core second only to Kobe last season.

Fans in this era have a kind of giant mania. Lakers fans call the big men of their team crazy!

Then there’s Kobe!

The spotlight flashes!

Kobe comes in!

Staples is completely boiling!

It’s fried!

High-decibel cheers resounded throughout Los Angeles!

"KOBE! KOBE! KOBE!"

"MVP! MVP! MVP!"

New season!

A new legend!

From this moment on!

NBA season opener!

Lakers VS Mavericks!

"Don! Thank you for giving Steve to the Lakers." The magician said with a wicked smile.

"." Don Nelson watched the Lakers' preseason performance.

Is that Nash the same player on his team?

The Lakers also dared to give him all the ball rights! Even I don't dare to do this.

Kobe just gave up possession of the ball. Don Nelson found it incredible that a player who averaged 10+ assists per game gave up possession of the ball.

What confuses the mad scientist even more is that Kobe's switch from his all-encompassing style of play with the ball to his current style of play without the ball is a seamless transition.

The number of shots increased!

The hit rate is also increased!

This is very unscientific!

"Perhaps I don't fully trust my disciples at all."

"And the Lakers, and Kobe, they did it."

Nowitzki greeted Nash with some embarrassment. He blamed Nash for last season and had no objection when Cuban chose not to renew Nash's contract.

Nash looked calm and gave Nowitzki a hug without any grudge.

The two looked at each other and smiled, neither of them being the kind of people to hold grudges.

Nash would not deliberately do that kind of thing when faced with a crazy slap in the face from his old boss.

He just knows how to play normally! Never play ball with caution.

Nash just wants to prove that Kobe and Magic didn't mistrust people!

"Brother, Yuyang." Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi and Xue Yuyang exchanged pleasantries for a while. The three of them were already very familiar with each other in the national team coached by Harris.

Soon the referee gathered all the players in the middle.

"Game begins!" As Collins cheered, the basketball was thrown into the sky by the referee.

After letting Nash go this season, the Mavericks made reinforcements, bringing in Jason Terry as the starting guard and Antawn Jamison as the small forward.

The starting lineup is Terry, Marquis Daniels, Jamison, Nowitzki, and Wang Zhizhi.

On the bench are Devin Harris, Sean Bradley, Xue Yuyang and others.

Wang Zhizhi and Yao Ming jumped the ball at the center position, and Yao Ming was slightly better.

"Here it comes!" Nowitzki roared!

The Mavericks were prepared to retreat quickly.

And Nash did not conduct the first pass and fast break, but started a high pick-and-roll with Yao Ming!

A gust of wind!

Terry felt a gust of wind in front of him! Nash broke into the paint!

"Take up defense!" Wang Zhizhi shouted.

Nowitzki made up for it, and Nash passed the ball without looking. Anthony cut to the basket and got rid of Jamison, jumped high, and dunked with both hands!

Pick and roll!

breakthrough!

Air cut!

The Lakers' offense is simple! fast! Efficient!

"Fake." Jamison cursed secretly, he's just a rookie, how can he be so strong! ?

The Mavericks' offensive speed is not slow either!

Terry dribbled the ball across half court, and Kobe directly defended him!

This is the Lakers' current defensive strategy. If only one of the opponent's two guards is an offensive guard, let Kobe come!

Nash defends another blue-collar defender.

Terry struggled twice in front of Kobe and almost dropped the ball.

Pass to Nowitzki with a dangling pass!

"Last season, Nowitzki faced the Lakers' big men and asked for everything!" Collins thought of Nowitzki's divine performance in the playoffs.

Invincible!

After Nowitzki mastered the back attack, he could no longer be restricted by Stephen Jackson.

And now?

Facing the new NBA All-Star defensive player Ben Wallace!

A super defensive player who averages 15.4 rebounds, 1.4 steals and 3.2 blocks per game!

Can Nowitzki still gain an advantage?

"Tough bones." Nowitzki backed up against Ben Wallace. His height advantage made it extremely difficult for him to be interfered with in a back-up position.

Ben was also very cautious and did not press too hard.

Face frame or back frame?

Face frame Ben Wallace is too short!

Then turn your back!

Nowitzki turned sideways and hit Ben Wallace hard!

"Fuck!" The next second he felt like he had hit a wall!

But Ben stood there with no expression on his face, not even exerting much force!

Nowitzki doesn’t believe in evil!

Hit again!

Hit again!

Turn over and shoot!

"Snapped!"

The basketball was kicked out of the court by Ben Wallace who was leaping high!

"Incredible!!!" Collins yelled wildly.

Nowitzki was stunned!

And Staples fell into another craze!

"BEN! BEN! BEN!"

The cry of Big Ben is happening again at Staples!

"I haven't seen any power forward be able to guard Nowitzki since last season! Even Duncan and Garnett are like this!"

"But Ben seems to be more restrained by this kind of shooting power forward who lacks strength?"

Low center of gravity!

High movement speed!

Top power!

DPOY level defensive awareness!

How does Nowitzki attack?

You don’t have to think about breaking through the face frame, and you can’t even push it with your back!

Collins can already imagine Nowitzki's despair at this moment.

"Come again!" Nowitzki took the sideline ball.

This time it's at the top of the three-point arc!

Pull it up and cast it!

Big Ben jumped up high to interfere!

Although there was no block, the basketball came out of the basket!

Yao Ming gets the rebound! Throw it forward for the first time!

Kobe had already rushed over!

Catch the ball!

Kobe's basketball dances between his fingers!

A few fancy moves passed Marquis Daniels.

Then throw the ball into the sky!

Carmelo Anthony!

One-handed alley catch!

"Finally! The Lakers finally have a small forward who can keep up with Kobe Bryant's fast break!" The Lakers fans sitting on the sidelines burst into tears. They were used to seeing Bowen's crippled feet, and now they have a young and talented young star. Meatmelon Anthony is simply embarrassing!

"The Lakers' running and gunning is not limited to Nash passing and controlling!" The magician on the sidelines raised his lips.

Nash!

Kobe!

Yao Ming!

The current Lakers have a three-engine lineup!

Although Nash occupies the absolute main offensive initiating power, Kobe and Yao Ming's ability to handle the ball is not comparable to players in the same position!

The Lakers' ball passing is simply reminiscent of SHOWTIME back then, perhaps smoother than SHOWTIME!

Crazy scientist Don Nelson sat in the scene and suddenly felt a little old.

"Is it time to retire?" Don Nelson thought about his old buddies leaving the NBA one after another, and began to wonder if he would retire like Harris.

But Harris is successful and famous, and although the mad scientist won 5 championships in his playing career, he did not win a championship in his coaching career.

Although he won the NBA Coach of the Year Award three times in 1983, 1985 and 1992. And in 2001, he became the third coach with 1,000 wins after Lanny Wilkens and Pat Riley, but never had a championship. It's a pity.

"Perhaps I should shamelessly go to old Bass this summer."

Don Nelson is going to cry when he looks at this Lakers lineup!

"Killing!" The Lakers killed the Mavericks in the opening game! 》

"God of War Kobe Bryant scored 47 points in the opening game!" 》

"Nash, the son of the wind, lights up Staples with 21 assists"

"The ultimate run and gun!" The alliance changes! 》

"That team is here again!" 》

The opening match is over!

Mavericks 105:139 Lakers!

34 points to kill the Mavericks!

The Lakers had 41 assists!

Kobe made 15 of 21 shots and scored 47 points!

Nash scored 17 points and 21 assists!

Anthony scored 21 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks.

Yao Ming scored 18 points, 11 rebounds, 7 assists and 1 turnover.

Ben had 4 points, 23 rebounds, 5 blocks and 3 steals.

The starting five scored 107 points!

When the game entered garbage time, several other rookies from the Lakers went up and took a walk.

easy!

The Mavericks, who were able to compete with the Lakers in last year's playoffs, were brutally killed on the spot!

If the game hadn't entered garbage time early, perhaps the point difference would have been even more terrifying!

Nowitzki made 6 of 21 shots and only scored 24 points and 5 rebounds.

Terry scored 7 points.

The Mavericks' two strongest offensive points were directly eliminated!

If Jamison and Wang Zhizhi hadn't played well, scoring 21 points and 18 points respectively, this game would have been even more brutal.

"There is no doubt that they are a championship-level team, and the Magic did a great job in the summer this year." Don Nelson praised after the game.

"This is a team that makes people feel passionate! I like to watch their games!" Barkley jumped horizontally repeatedly.

"Do you think the Heat are the favorites to win the championship this year? Haha." Isaiah Thomas smiled. He seemed to see Kobe pressing Malone to the ground and rubbing him repeatedly.

"41 assists? OMG! In this era when most teams only have a total of more than 20 assists, the Lakers played amazing basketball!" Larry Bird praised.

"Didn't anyone mention Carmelo Anthony's performance? In his debut, he made 8 of 14 shots, 21 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal, 2 blocks and 1 turnover! He is a natural scoring machine!" Wilkins admired this junior very much.

Fire!

If the Lakers' performance in the preseason was just a warm-up, this regular season opener completely ignited the basketball world!

Media around the world are discussing whether the Lakers dynasty will make a comeback!

Even on the first day of the opening game, in addition to the Lakers-Mavericks battle, there are also two games: Heat vs. Philadelphia 76ers, and Suns vs. Spurs.

The Heat defeated the Philadelphia 76ers 93:88! O'Neal scored 35 points and 21 rebounds against Mourning! It proves who is the strongest center in the league and why Pat Riley is so eager to sign O'Neal!

The combination of Iverson, Odom, Stackhouse, and Mourning still has no way to defeat the Heat!

In his career debut, Wade played 41 minutes, making 8 of 18 shots, 2 of 3 free throws, and contributed 18 points, 4 rebounds, and 4 assists.

In the match between the Suns and the Spurs, the Spurs easily defeated the Suns.

Stoudemire didn't have much temper in front of the twin towers composed of Duncan and Uncle Mu.

Of course, the team that gets the most attention is always the Lakers!

too fast!

The Lakers' rebuilding speed is simply incredible!

From the disintegration of the dynasty to once again becoming the favorite for the championship, it only took the Lakers one year?

The Lakers are making headlines on major sports pages!

At the same time, in the far east, the discussion about the NBA is exploding at this time!

"Yao Ming is going to become the number one center in the Western Conference!"

"When will China's first player win a championship? It will be this year! It will be this year!"

"Yao Ming! Wang Zhizhi! Xue Yuyang! They are all in the Chinese national team! Will Chinese basketball become the second-tier team after the United States in the future?"
