"Win! Taken! Cortlambis's face was excited, he still felt like he was in a dream, the gap between him and the supersonic last year was still very different, and this year he actually led them 3:0! It's almost certain to win this series. The changes are staggering.

The score difference in this game has been thrown to more than a dozen points, and in the face of a top league team like the SuperSonics, with a famous coach like George Karl in charge, and stars like Payton and Kemp in the finale, the difficulty of turning the tables can be imagined.

And the Lakers did it! To be precise, Kobe Bryant did it!

Kobe Bryant single-handedly smashed Glove Payton's defense! Crush McMillan's defense! Crush Camp's defense!

One ride is a thousand! Bury supersonic with a superhero-like performance! Bury this team that was the brightest future in the league last year!

Payton and Kemp's faces turned pale, and they went straight back to the locker room without saying a word.

It's over, this season's journey is over.

Not only did it not go further than last year, this time it did not even break through in the west.

Lost, lost to a youth team like the Lakers, and lost to a rookie player like Kobe.

This kind of performance of Kobe Bryant Payton has only been seen in Michael Jordan in his entire career, and Kobe Bryant is the second.

Even so, Peyton was still very unconvinced.

Lost to an 18-year-old boy, or was completely blown up in a crushing situation, how could Payton be reconciled.

At the press conference after the game, Payton's face turned purple after hearing Kobe's words, and he was even more congested. I even said that there was some myocardial infarction, and I almost couldn't breathe.

"Kobe, congratulations on winning G3! The big score is 3:0 ahead of the SuperSonics! Having been the only team to play 3-0 in the divisional semi-finals, how are you feeling right now? The reporter's long gun and short cannon were placed in front of Kobe, and the reporter almost wanted to eat Kobe, if it wasn't for the security guards, I'm afraid they would poke their microphone into Kobe's mouth.

"I'm in a good mood." Bryant smiled.

"The Lakers have become the only team to win all of their playoff games this season! This is an amazing achievement! Congratulations! ”

"I have to give a shout-out to my teammates, we wouldn't have been able to maintain this record in the playoffs without the shackle-wing, Robert's all-around offense and defense, and the dedication of Bruce and Big Ben!" Kobe Bryant gave his teammates a thumbs up.

"The Lakers do have a lot of talented rookies, but some rookies like Eddie Jones and Fish have been very poor in this series, what do you think of their performance?"

"Man, it's not possible for everyone to play in a team, the team's tactics are that some players contribute silently, so that there are other players who shine. But the shadow behind the light does not mean that it is meaningless, without their silent dedication, all the stars would not be able to play so easily, every teammate is a part of the Lakers, and I respect every teammate very much. Kobe Bryant was right, and this is what he has personally felt in his more than 20-year career.

The reporter kept writing and instantly recorded Kobe's words, in this major business league, there are often stars, but role players rarely leave any footprints, Kobe Bryant's voice for these role players is very rare. Even Michael Jordan never complimented Cole.

"Next question."

"Kobe, who do you think will be your next round opponent?"

"The Jazz have a better record, but I'm more bullish on Houston. If Houston's veterans don't paddle in the regular season, a 70-win win is not out of the question. But it won't be easy for Houston to win, and the pick-and-roll tactics of Karl and John are so strong that no team has been able to guarantee that they will be able to defend them every game so far. I guess this series will go on at least six or more, and a tie-break is also a possibility. "Kobe Bryant did think about who their opponent would be in the Western Conference Finals.

If it's Jazz, then it's good news. The Lakers have played the Jazz with experience, and the Jazz's biggest flaw is that no player can match Kobe. And their strong point, Malone and Stockton, the Lakers have players who can be restrained. In addition, in the regular season, the Lakers won the game even without O'Neal. The Lakers are still confident that they can beat the Jazz.

Although the Jazz players are in their prime, they are more athletic than Houston. But the Lakers do prefer the Jazz as an opponent, and it can be said that the Lakers' lineup has a hint of restraint for the Jazz.

And Houston, they just have too many stars. It's hard to say what kind of energy these stars will burst out, even if they are no longer in their prime, even if their physical fitness and competitive condition have declined significantly. But as long as these stars play at their peak for one or two games, it will be a very big problem for the Lakers.

These superstars are all Hall of Famer level players with a lot of experience, and it's definitely not a problem to break out a few games in a series. Even if they don't explode, they definitely play at an All-Star level.

Coupled with the fact that Houston brought in Jim Jackson for Kobe Bryant and Jordan, forming three iron-blooded defense lines with an average height of more than two meters, it is really difficult for the Lakers to defeat them.

It can be said that Houston is full of champions! They are the absolute top seeds in any era, and the Lakers, the champion of this youth army, are definitely not Houston. It's a team of stars, role players, and coaches.

"It seems that Kobe Bryant is already thinking about the next round opponent again." A reporter humorously threw out a first-round playoff meme, causing a burst of laughter.

"So one last question."

"I'll do it! Kobe, now that you're thinking about your opponent in the next round, what do you want to say about the opponent in this round, the SuperSonics? Will you sweep hypersound? Or do you want to go back to your home stadium and deal with them? ”

"Back in Los Angeles? They don't have to, these guys, they don't have to go to Los Angeles. Bryant raised an eyebrow.

"Do you mean you're going to sweep them away?"

"There's no need to prolong this round of playoffs, it's over."

"They don't have to go to Los Angeles, right here, in Seattle, and let the dust settle."
