"I originally thought that the prediction of Kobe, the new MVP, was strong enough." Kenny Smith smiled wryly.

On April 26, 1998, at the Great Western Forum Arena, Stern had just presented the regular season MVP trophy to Kobe Bryant in person.

"Come on, Kobe. You will be the face of the Union. Stern whispered the words in Bryant's ear. Stern knows better than anyone how much impact Kobe Bryant has on the league.

A player who can fight Jordan, a new façade, and at the same time the future of professional basketball. Without Kobe, Stern doesn't know what would have become of the league after Jordan grew old.

One player can influence the rise and fall of a league, and Jordan is a player of that calibre, as is Kobe.

This is the king's appointment of the president of the alliance! Kobe Bryant was recognized by the entire league!

The youngest MVP in league history!

Winning the MVP at the age of less than 20, dare to ask who can do it?

How many seasons was the last season when he won the MVP?

Kobe Bryant can't remember, he just remembers that it was won in a competition with Chris Paul, the queen bee.

And this season, he has no opponents!

He's the league's MVP!

No doubt!

He's the best player too!

Kobe Bryant held the MVP trophy high in the Great Western Forum Arena under the watchful eye of nearly 20,000 fans!

This moment! He is the center of the world.

Dr. Bass clapped his hands in pain, tears running down the corners of his eyes.

The last time the Lakers had a player of Kobe's level was back in the 1980s, when the Magic were at their peak. The white horse passed through the gap, and the temples of countless fans had been dyed with gray hair, instead of becoming only the flag hanging high above the Great Western Forum Arena.

And now, the Great Western Forum Arena will soon be history.

The Lakers finally have an MVP again!

Old Bass originally thought that O'Neal would be the first to win the MVP.

And at this moment, O'Neal, who was watching Kobe Bryant holding the cup, showed a look of envy visible to the naked eye.

"Kobe Bryant wins MVP! I take FMVP! O'Neill kept admonishing himself like this in his heart, but he still felt sour!

Damn! MVP with 73 wins, this honor is too top!

Still a little unwilling.

If it weren't for the more important finals ahead, O'Neal would have wanted to lift the burden for a while.

Kobe, who won the MVP trophy, completely stormed out in the second game with Houston!

"Rudy Tomjanovich's tactics have changed! He let Barkley dodge Kobe Bryant! And on the defensive end, the trio of Drexler, Jim Jackson, and Mario Elie continued to pinch Kobe! ”

"Kobe Bryant blows everything up! It doesn't matter if it's one defender or two! ”

"You guys go up together! What is there to fear from someone in my department! ”

"Kill crazy! Kobe's desire to score is too strong! In this game, the new MVP showed his fangs! ”

"Don't forget! Kobe Bryant is the league's leading scorer! After the big shark and the big dream split the winner, Kobe Bryant tore off the shackles on his body and went all out to devote himself to the offense! ”

"Barkley beat Horry badly! But the Lakers' offensive efficiency is still much higher than that of the Rockets! ”

"New MVP, the youngest MVP in league history! This game kills the gods and descends into the world! ”

"Stop him! Defend Kobe! ”

"Can't let him shoot like that!"

"29 points on 12-of-18 shooting in the half? What are you doing? ”

"It's too strong! I can't stop it! It's really unstoppable. ”

Rudy Tomjanovich, as if a bitter melon was stuffed in his mouth, was full of bitterness.

Hold the Big Three in your own hands! Three Hall of Famer-caliber superstars, and they've been building momentum for a long time in the regular season, and they've been playing at their peak on the offensive end.

As a result, Kobe Bryant was bombarded by himself.

The combined scoring efficiency of the three people is not enough for Kobe Bryant to play alone.

This simply doesn't make sense! Are Hall of Fame superstars vegetarian? How is Kobe Bryant's offense how one person can suppress a group of superstars?

"This MVP really doesn't have any moisture at all." Drexler gasped.

It's really unstoppable.

It's too strong, Kobe Bryant is better than any player Drexler has seen in his career so far!

Even at the peak of Jordan, Drexler didn't find it so difficult to defend!

The range of the attack is too large! A gap can complete the shot, which Jordan has absolutely no way to compare.

"Fack! Fack! "Barkley is incompetent and furious, and the team has been pushed to the brink. If this game is lost to the Lakers, it will be 2:0!

2:0 turnaround to complete the black eight?

It's impossible to think about!

It can be said that losing this game will end the playoffs in Houston and Barkley's championship journey will end here.

No way, Houston won't have a chance to win the championship again.

Olajuwon didn't know this, and he also gave his all to fight hard in both offensive and defensive sections.

But O'Neal, who is at the MAX level of the power attribute, invited Olajuwon out of the arena.

Second!

Houston's three aging Hall of Fame superstars, go for it!

Olajuwon gritted his teeth and resisted the attack of the big shark!

Barkley back-to-back powerful baskets!

Drexler went crazy defending Kobe.

But it didn't work, the Lakers' offense still exploded Houston with Kobe Bryant as a spear.

"Is this really a playoff-level score?" For a time, Kenny Smith was speechless due to statistics.

"Slaughter, the Lakers slaughtered Houston. Kobe Bryant slaughtered the Big Three. ”

Completely exploded!

He shot 23 of 36 and scored 53 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists, 4 steals, 1 block and 3 turnovers!

Lakers 97:85 Houston!

Kobe Bryant scored more than half of the team's scores!

All the players are in the rhythm of the playoffs, and scoring is as difficult as a meat grinder. Only Kobe Bryant seems to be playing another level of competition, another level of confrontation!

"I'm convinced, the future of the alliance is handed over to this kind of young man, what's there to be reluctant to." After the game, Drexler had the desire to retire and said it directly in the media.

In this game, if Houston is looking for a pot, then it must be the glider who mainly defends Kobe.

And when the glider said these words, the reporters suddenly discovered that the alliance had really changed its dynasty.

"The Lakers are the strongest team I've ever seen." Rudy Tomjanovich took a deep breath.

"The series isn't over yet, but I have to admit that Kobe Bryant is great." Barkley shook his head.

Three days later, Houston.

The Lakers beat Houston again 121-97.

Swept!

The Lakers swept the Rockets, who have three Hall of Fame superstars, with a result that no one could have imagined!

Bryant scored 26 points, 53 points, and 39 points in three games. The series averaged 39.3 points per game!
