Chapter 390: The Beginning of a Legend

β€œKOBE!!! KOBE!!! KOBE!!! KOBE!!!”

β€œSHAQ!!! SHAQ!!! SHAQ!!!”

"Lakers Championship!"

"70 wins!"

β€œBEAT KINGS!”

Before the game even began, the indulgent chanting of Lakers fans was already filling the interior of the entire Great Western Forum arena. Not a single seat was empty inside the arena, and the square outside the arena was filled with fans who didn't have tickets. Los Angeles has been decorated with a sea of purple and gold by these passionate fans, and the fans' breath is blazing, which has brought the arena's competitive atmosphere to a height never seen in the regular season.

β€œEJ! You sit here! Curry pulled Klay Jr. and EJ-chan to sit at the back of the Lakers' bench, holding oversized cups of popcorn and cold Coke in their hands, and their short bodies holding huge snacks.

"Hey! EJ-chan, it's really yours, your dad is amazing! It's much better than my dad, and I was able to get a ticket for such a good position! As soon as little Curry sat down, his mouth was full of muttering. Spitting on his dad Dale Curry has become Stephen's repertoire.

EJ-chan smiled shyly, although he began to gradually love basketball, his shy personality still did not change, even in front of his two best friends, Curry and Klay, he had few words. This personality also makes him the most selfless commander on the basketball court, and he plays the role of a passer in elementary school basketball games in Los Angeles or in private 3v3 elementary school games. Curry and Klay served as offensive arrows, and the three of them were invincible all over Los Angeles schoolboys.

No, there is still one person who can compete with them. It's just that the kid couldn't stand it alone, and he finally lost to them.

That was Westbrook at Long Beach Elementary School, and that little man had a ruthlessness that didn't admit defeat and caused Curry a lot of trouble. But in the end, the trio defeated him, after all, the boy was short, thin, and malnourished.

"Will Kobe Bryant blow up Richmond today? How many points will he score? Clay had stars in his eyes, he had always been sullen, and he couldn't suppress his true self when talking about Kobe.

"Did you hear the exclamation from the media just now? Kobe Bryant says he's already thinking about the next round of opponents! ”

"I really want to see Kobe's ghost movie, I heard that it is super popular!! Kobe Bryant is amazing! It's so strong to make a movie. It's a pity that it's a PG-13 movie, and we can't watch it. ”

"It's okay, I'll ask my dad to make an original film and put it in our own movie theater." The words of the wealthy EJ sauce were full of arrogance, which directly shocked Curry and Klay.

"Great!"

These little ones on twitter don't yet know how much of a shadow Kobe's movie will leave on their childhood.

The Curry trio chattered on the bench at the same time. The magician also came to the commentary table with his old partner. In the first game of Kobe's career playoffs, the Magic will never miss this moment, and another ancient guard, Gail Goodrich, will act as the Magician's partner to act as the commentary of this game.

"MAGIC, YOU'RE EXCITED."

"Of course, this is the first playoff game for this Lakers team. The Lakers have replaced almost half of their players this season, and last season's starters only retained Eddie Jones and Campbell, and all three starters were rookies. ”

"The Kings are just the right first-round opponent for the Lakers, a young team. While the media thinks the Lakers have the potential to roll over, I don't think they will. That's just a media gimmick, and the Kings can't come up with a second player with Richmond. The Lakers can just feel the playoff-level intensity and the size of the blow penalty while they can win this round of the playoffs without much difficulty, and the best-of-5 system is completely acceptable, even if it rolls over and loses a game, it is completely acceptable to pay tuition. ”

"Haha, Gail you're too sane. In my opinion, the Lakers are a group of boys, although they are young and inexperienced. But they're definitely not soft guys who will be soft in the playoffs, you don't know Kobe, Kobe Bryant dares to say something like that, it means that he is fully prepared to crush the Kings. ”

"Maybe, let's look forward to the Lakers' next performance."

"The Lakers' starting lineup for the first playoff game – guards: Kobe Bryant, Eddie Jones. Forwards: Bruce Bowen, Elden Campbell. Center: Shaq O'Neal. ”

"Kings starting lineup – guards: Bobby Hurley, Mitch Richmond. Forwards: Billy Owens, Brian Grant. Center: Alden Polinis. ”

"The two sides have come to the court, the referee is ready to serve in the middle, and the game is about to begin!"

The moment Kobe and Richmond's eyes met, it seemed that sparks were flying.

The meaning of Richmond's eyes - "It's just that you kid let out wild words and are already thinking about the next round of opponents?" ”

Kobe raised an eyebrow - "yes, so what." ”

Richmond was bruised, and he wanted to teach Kobe Bryant a good lesson.

The referee tossed the ball high and announced the start of the game.

O'Neal crushed the ball back into the Lakers half, while Bryant advanced with the ball.

"Richmond! The Kings use Richmond to defend Kobe Bryant! ”

"Looking at the horizontal flesh on Mitch's body, I believe that a lot of fans will pinch a cold sweat for Kobe."

Bryant didn't seem to feel Richmond's menacing defense, dribbling the ball back and forth under his crotch with both hands. Richmond's physicality is definitely a tank among shooting guards, but that doesn't mean there's no way for Kobe Bryant to take him right now.

The best way to deal with a player with a lot of weight is not to pull it out, not to make a hard burst, but to pull the ball back and forth.

"Fancy! Kobe Bryant's first ball today was not passed to O'Neal, who was in the position of the inside! Instead, two consecutive butterfly-like changes of direction, dotted Richmond's center of gravity, and then shot from the middle distance, Richmond's center of gravity was out of control, there was no way to defend, and Kobe Bryant took the lead in hitting two points! ”

"Decent! Domineering! Smart! Bryant is like a master of weapons on the court, he knows when to use what kind of tricks are the most deadly, and he plays this ball smartly. ”

The Kings' Bobby Hurley drove forward with the ball and handed it to his boss, Rock Richmond, at halftime.

Richmond's defender was Eddie Jones, but he hooked his finger at Kobe Bryant and then played a pick-and-roll with Bobby Hurley and switched to Kobe.

"Kobe, let you understand that the playoffs are not something that a hairy kid like you can understand!"

Saying that, Richmond broke through to Kobe Bryant with his head bored, and the top power on the guard line carried Kobe Bryant directly inside!
