My Name is Kobe Bryant

After the game against the Suns, the Lakers have a record of 7 wins and 1 loss and occupy the top spot in the Western Conference with Houston. The following are the Sonics with 7 wins and 2 losses, and the Jazz with 5 wins and 3 losses.

The Sonics still maintain the super high level of being No. 1 in the Western Conference last season. After they played against Jordan in a series, they have a lot of experience this season.

Gary Payton just signed a new contract in the summer, a 4-year 40 million contract. With his newly signed contract, while maintaining a very high level of defense, he also increased the number of shots on the offensive end, from 15.8 shots per game last year to 18.1. The average data per game also reached 21.8 points, 4.6 rebounds, 7.1 assists and 2.4 steals.

Gary Payton's low-post ability is getting better and better. With the continuous improvement of his physical strength, he can eat 80% of the league's point guards in the low post.

This season is Sean Kemp’s contract year. I heard that he offered the Supersonics a five-year contract extension of 80 million yuan. The Supersonics did not agree. It is impossible for the Supersonics to allow Kemp to pay a higher salary than Payton. . This makes Rainman play with anger this season. He wants to play his worth in the contract year, and he even goes to nightclubs a lot less.

The Utah Jazz's performance at the beginning was not good. Whether they won or lost, they struggled. They lost 85:91 in the duel with Olajuwon.

As Ma Long's aggressiveness gradually strengthened, their current state gradually recovered. With Ma Long's comprehensive performance, the team gradually got on the right track.

The leadership of the Lakers and Houston made the media very excited. On the one hand, the star-studded Big Three, on the other hand, are the new magician and skyhook.

Especially in their duel, the Lakers also won the game in double overtime, which has too many things to write about. Young lions challenge the past kings, this is the hottest topic in the US media.

After all, everyone knows that the Bulls are invincible, and the media are eager to establish an opponent for the Bulls. In the East, there is almost no team that can compete with the Bulls.

There are many strong teams in the East, even more than the first-line strong teams in the West.

For example, the Knicks led by Ewing. Pat Riley's Heat, they also formed the Big Three this summer, Tim Hardaway, tough guy Alonzo Mourning and Jamal Mashburn.

Grant Hill's Pistons, Penny Hardaway's Magic, Charlotte Hornets, and Atlanta Hawks are all strong teams. These teams are all likely to win 50 or even 60 wins.

But at present, it seems that it is difficult to find a team in the East that can compete with the Bulls. Every team has their flaws more or less.

Most of a championship team has no flaws, and if you have flaws, you will be targeted. In a series of playoffs, your shortcomings will be infinitely magnified and eventually lead to loss.

Ewing's Knicks lacked an organizer, and the Eagles lacked a head star. The Hornets' guards couldn't guard Jordan. Hardaway and Hill fought alone.

These teams are hard to stop the bull's iron hoof, there is no other team in the East like the Bad Boys or the Celtics that can compete with Michael Jordan.

So the media began to focus on the West, where the Big Three and the Lakers Gemini are hotly released this year.

The current media believes that only these two teams have a chance to beat the Bulls.

The media began to tout the Big Three, touting O'Neal and Kobe. It is what they want to do to establish an opponent comparable to Jordan. This is also of great benefit to the overall atmosphere of the NBA. Winners are also bored, and even more so are spectators.

The champion produced under the most intense confrontation is the champion worthy of everyone's respect.

. . . . . .

The Lakers flew to San Francisco the next day after the game.

San Francisco is a port city on the Pacific coast of California, the United States. It is a world-famous tourist attraction and the fourth largest city in California by population. San Francisco is close to Silicon Valley, a world-renowned high-tech industrial zone. It is one of the most important high-tech research and development bases in the world and the most important financial center on the west coast of the United States. It is also the birthplace of the United Nations.

It is very close to Los Angeles. The climate is warm in winter and cool in summer, with plenty of sunshine. It is close to many American national parks (such as Yosemite National Park) and Napa Valley, the wine-producing region of California. It is often hailed as "the most popular city among Americans".

The Lakers once faced the Golden State Warriors in the preseason, when Kobe was still a substitute, and now Kobe has become the hottest star player among the 96 rookies.

"Guys, here's the first fired coach in the league." Rambis called after getting off the plane and told the players the news.

"What? Who is it?"

"It was Cotton Fitzsimmons of the Suns. The Suns kicked him out after the start was 0-8. His successor is Danny Ainge. The Suns are about to usher in a big change."

"Danny Ainge? The one from the Celtics?"

"That's right."

Kobe frowned slightly. Danny Ainge was the person who formed the Celtics' Big Three behind him. He is a shrewd person, and he doesn't know what will happen to the Suns.

. . . . . .

"Good evening, friends, here is the live broadcast of the NBA brought to you by San Francisco TV."

"This game is hosted by the Golden State Warriors against the Los Angeles Lakers. I am commentating Rick Barry."

"I'm Bernard King."

"Bernard, I have to say, the Lakers picked up a treasure this summer."

"That's right, their point guard Kobe Bryant was just as good as the Magician back then, and he played brilliantly."

"It has to do with Shaq's containment. I always believe that players can get better around great centers."

"It goes hand in hand."

"Our No. 1 pick last year, Joe Smith also played a good performance of 18.7+8.5 this year. He is gradually realizing his talent."

"I am optimistic that our team can give the young Lakers a second loss today."

"In order to deal with Shaq, we traded Felton Spencer from the Orlando Magic at the beginning of the season. This 2.13m 120kg heavy center is the key point for us to limit O'Neal."

"I always believe that as long as Shaq is restrained, Kobe can't make any waves. After all, he is only an 18-year-old kid, and he has not even reached the legal drinking age!"

"Barry, you didn't think about directing Shaq's free throws? If he can hit 90% of his free throws like you, he's probably going to be the best center in the world."

"Not everyone can learn to empty the toilet. I would like to call it a unique skill."
