Chapter 791 King of Los Angeles (4K)
"This is Los Angeles! This is the center of the world's entertainment industry! This is the most prosperous city in the world!"
"The sun has just set, and the warm sea breeze in Los Angeles in May is intoxicating!"
"The neon lights on the streets of Los Angeles begin to flash! The bustling scene in front of Hollywood Boulevard is mesmerizing!"
"And on such a beautiful night! There are huge crowds of people outside the Great Western Forum! Countless fans gathered at the entrance of the Great Western Forum! They are waiting for the start of the Lakers and Spurs game!"
"Whether they have tickets or not! They are not willing to miss this legendary series that is destined to go down in history!"
"If the Lakers want to defend their title! They must first overcome the obstruction of the Spurs' twin towers! And this year's Spurs are the strongest Spurs in history!"
"They are young and powerful! There are many stars! Rich role players! Rigorous tactics!"
"This is the strongest opponent the Lakers have ever faced in the Western Conference!"
The game between the Lakers and Spurs is about to begin, and countless TV commentators are already in place to start building momentum for this series!
Divisional finals!
We are only one step away from the finals!
This is the greatest series in world basketball besides the finals!
The four teams all came out of various levels of purgatory!
They are not in vain! Especially in this era, there are as many strong teams as there are stars. It is impossible to stand on such a stage without real skills!
The Lakers have proven that they are the most powerful team in the history of the league!
The Spurs also proved themselves that they have two interior towers that are enough to rank among the top three in history!
Both teams have stepped on countless strong teams and the corpses of superstars to get to this point!
This round of the series! It will be the most intense confrontation before the finals!
Compared to the Eastern Conference, the Hornets are almost unanimously favored. In this series between the Spurs and the Lakers, only 60% of the experts in ESPN's expert poll believed that the Lakers would win this series.
In such an era where it is generally believed that the inside is the most important thing for a team. The Spurs twin towers are almost the limit of what people can see inside!
Even though the Lakers have the league's number one center, Shaquille O'Neal, no one thinks that the Lakers will take the lead in the interior confrontation!
He who has the inside track wins the world!
This is the philosophy of the older generation of basketball players!
Spurs in the eyes of old school fans! Just a perfect team!
The Lakers are completely non-mainstream.
Horry, the space-based swingman at the third and fourth positions?
Big Ben who has no offense, only defense and is only 2.01 meters tall?
Eldon Campbell, who earns tens of millions of dollars per year but can’t even make the starting lineup?
These Lakers' fourth positions are a joke!
Why are they better than Duncan, who can beat Karl Malone with a single pass at the power forward position?
The stone Buddha is like an iron tower!
Standing in the Spurs penalty area makes people feel at ease!
Even if the Lakers have a killer like Kobe Bryant on the perimeter!
Many veteran fans are not optimistic about the Lakers!
A lot of Kobe's offense also revolves around the mid-range and penalty area!
This season, three-pointers are just a way for Kobe to open up situations and break out of double teams!
rather than the top priority offensive option.
Entering the three-point line, it is the world of Duncan and General Robinson.
In the eyes of the younger generation, Kobe is a well-deserved god!
"Little stone Buddha! Admiral Hanhan! Look at the moon at the bottom of the well! I don't know how high the sky is! It's so ridiculous! It's so ridiculous!" The cute god was holding a lollipop in his mouth and tapping on the keyboard crazily, accompanied by Kobe's partition The photo of dunking on the Spurs Twin Towers instantly attracted unanimous praise from Lakers fans on Twitter.
"Little Curry seems to have become an Internet celebrity." Little Clay was sour, and Curry became the most popular blogger of the Lakers.
He heard that there were already a lot of young ladies on Twitter sending photos of big NN and big PP to little Curry. Of course, this was because no one knew that the Lakers’ irritable blogger turned out to be an 11-year-old primary school student.
Little Clay said he wanted to see it too!
"Awesome!" EJ-chan's eyes were filled with stars, and he seemed to have the desire to post photos of himself with makeup and outfit on Twitter to share with everyone.
"Don't be addicted to the Internet world!" Little Clay was about to cry. No one bought him a laptop, which made him feel that he had fallen out of step with the times.
"That's right, you can't be addicted to the online world." Little Curry's eyes lit up.
"Let's go! Let's storm the Spurs locker room!"
"Um, MAGIC, interrupt me." The magician was talking loudly, but the director's voice came from his ears. He could only put down the microphone and handed over the commentary task to Kenny Smith.
"This is what happened." The director handed the three naughty children to the magician.
The magician was stunned. What were they doing?
Attack the Spurs locker room?
These little ones who are less than 1.5 meters tall must be too courageous!
Relying on their familiarity with the Lakers Arena, they went around and dodged a bunch of security guards and almost broke into the Spurs locker room.
"You! Sit where you should sit!" The magician held a small child in one hand and another on his shoulder. The three of them were imprisoned in the lounge of the studio.
"It's all your fault! Clay! Your 360° turn and move was seen through!"
"Nonsense! Stephen! You sprained your ankle!"
A small farce became the embellishment before the start of this serious series!
"Quick! Just wait here!" Dragon TV! Zhang Weiping led a group of his men to the player tunnel.
Wang Zhizhi!
The first Chinese player to reach the Western Conference Finals!
At the same time, he is also a core substitute!
If it weren't for the unpleasant quarrel between him and the basketball association in the north, he should be written up at this time and become the hope and idol of Chinese basketball fans!
Now, with the help of Kobe Bryant, Dragon TV has been continuing to report on Wang Zhizhi’s related matters. This time he entered the playoffs and the scene of his duel with Kobe was talked about by many domestic fans!
"Brother Weiping, do you think Kobe will really accept our interview?" The young reporter from Dragon TV swallowed his saliva.
"Of course! Kobe is my little brother!"
As soon as Kobe came out of the locker room, he heard Zhang Weiping's Beijing accent.
"Mud howl!" Kobe greeted the Dragon TV interviewers enthusiastically.
This was the only media interview he gave before the war.
The development of Mamba Sports in China is inseparable from these things.
Under the exaggeration of Dragon TV, Kobe has become the most popular player in the country, even surpassing Jordan!
Everyone knows that Kobe and I are good friends!
Everyone knows Kobe's love for China.
Before 2000, this was a huge encouragement to the fragile self-esteem of the Chinese people.
At that time, anyone who could speak a few words in Chinese could gain a foothold in China and make a lot of money.
At that time, all Chinese people generally believed that the moon in foreign countries was round.
That era was an era when Chinese people had low self-esteem deep in their bones.
The vast majority of Chinese people are counting on sports competitions to regain their sense of national identity.
And Wang Zhizhi has undoubtedly become the sustenance of many fans.
Kobe has also become the most familiar foreign star to the Chinese people.
The lights at the Great Western Forum dimmed!
Player Yiyi walks out of the tunnel!
The finale is - Kobe!
"The Last! Highest score in NBA FINAL history! The Two Time MVP! A 6'6 guard from Lower Marrien high shool, No.24, Kobe Bryant."
"The final player is the most powerful scoring champion in the NBA Finals! 2-time MVP! 6 feet 6 inches, No. 24 from Lower Main High School! Kobe Bryant!"
With the roar of the DJ and the roar of the Great Western Forum Arena!
Kobe comes out!
Yellow and purple jersey!
Bald!
Black elbow pads!
The gleaming eyes!
That owner in Los Angeles! coming!
Look up!
Purple and gold everywhere!
"Kobe's momentum is so great!" the magician sighed.
"I heard that O'Neal took the initiative to give up the chance to play in the finale to Kobe."
"Now, there is no doubt that this Lakers belongs to Kobe. Los Angeles belongs to Kobe."
"Kobe is the King of Los Angeles!"
"Did you hear that? The only player who can make MVP calls in the Great Western Forum just after he came on the court is Kobe."
"This will be my last playoff game in this arena." Kobe took a deep breath and sucked the slightly turbid air of the Great Western Forum into his lungs.
Next season, the Staples Center, the most luxurious and advanced arena in the NBA, will become the Lakers' stadium!
The Great Western Forum will be a memory.
It was only two years, but the Great Western Forum left countless memorable moments for Kobe.
The most memorable thing is the moment of holding the cup!
The best farewell gift to this arena! Just holding the cup again!
"The atmosphere in Los Angeles is a little different from the regular season." Wang Zhizhi was a little cautious.
"Of course! But we can come out of the home court of the Utah Devils, and we can also defeat Los Angeles!" Richmond is high-spirited!
"David, I want to win this game!" O'Neal and the Admiral appeared at the Lakers LOGO in the midfield!
This is the first time! David Robinson saw such strong fighting spirit in the eyes of the big shark!
It's like fire is burning!
"This guy. He just paddled when he hit Hakeem, and he just wanted to squeeze a soft persimmon when he hit me?"
The Admiral tensed up!
Muscles as solid as marble are intimidating.
"Want to win? Have you asked me?"
As the referee tossed the basketball high into the sky above the Great Western Forum.
Western Conference Finals! Officially begin.
O'Neal pulls onions on dry land!
Point the basketball at the Lakers! direction!
"Damn it!" The admiral didn't have time to feel sorry!
The Lakers' attack started like a surging tide!
Kobe takes the basketball!
Keep your feet off the ground!
Push forward!
A Biff flashed past Richmond at the three-point line, broke into the penalty area and slammed the ball into the backboard!
later! A huge body, like a barbarian god coming to the world! Leap high!
He caught the ball that bounced off the backboard in the air and slammed the ball into the basket!
The rim trembles!
O'Neal raised his feet and did a pull-up!
excited!
The big shark who just started is very excited!
Land!
Shake!
Overlord step!
"OK connection! Scored the first point of the series for the Lakers!"
quick!
too fast!
O'Neal's steps were so fast that the Admiral rushed to the basket without returning to defense!
This situation was unacceptable to Popovich. His choice was different from that of most coaches. He called a timeout on the first possession of the game.
first round! The Lakers stopped the Spurs!
slow!
The Spurs need to slow down their pace, take advantage of the inside advantage of the Twin Towers, and slowly grind out positions with the Lakers!
The little general advances with the ball!
The Spurs and Lakers are very familiar with each other!
Kobe directly chose to give up defending the general and instead went to defend Richmond.
Under the guard of Eddie Jones, the young general steadily handed the ball to Shi Fo in the elbow area!
Tim Duncan!
The stone Buddha who just dominated a series! In excellent condition!
With an exaggerated wingspan, he holds the ball with one hand and looks around slightly!
Richmond makes a crazy move!
Follow Kobe!
Duncan faked a pass!
Shake Horry's center of gravity, and then drive to the basket in three strides.
Big step forward!
Victor the flying devil!
Jump high against Hori!
One-arm windmill! Smash it into the basket!
"beep!"
2+1!
Even Kobe was a little surprised by this goal!
A flying devil with a sound and uninjured knee is simply too terrifying!
"Sure enough, the Spurs will resolutely attack Tim Duncan." Magic commented.
"Duncan has proven in the last round that he is a more powerful power forward than Karl Malone. This round he will be the key to whether the Spurs can defeat the Lakers!"
Harris looked calm on the sidelines.
He had expected Duncan's performance.
But he still resolutely sent Horry instead of Big Ben or Campbell.
In basketball, offense is always greater than defense!
Ben's defense may be better, but there is no way to block Duncan!
Since it can't be completely blocked, it doesn't make much sense.
And during the offense, Duncan is able to free up unscrupulous defense!
At least with Horry, Duncan's help defense will still be restrained.
"Ensuring Kobe and O'Neal's offense guarantees victory."
"The two of them are the number one combination in history!"
Harris is convinced.
"Kobe! Second round! Kobe and Robert Horry pick and roll! Challenge Duncan directly!"
"TIMMY, let me see your progress!" Kobe was looking for Duncan!
Duncan's big defense and small defense are definitely one of the most outstanding insiders in history!
His movement speed, his defensive anticipation, and exaggerated wingspan make him a nightmare for defenders!
And Kobe just has to fight hard!
Reasonable?
It was never Kobe's choice!
This is Los Angeles!
The King of Los Angeles wants to rule his kingdom!
Duncan's face was expressionless. He had heard too many provocative words from Karl Malone!
But in the end, the game is not won by the side that talks more.
Defend Kobe! Popovich asked all Spurs players except David Robinson to substitute when encountering a pick-and-roll!
Unlimited defense changes!
And the general is sitting under the basket!
No double teams!
Popovich just wants to give it a try! Can we win the game if we defend Kobe alone?
