On the highest stage of the NBA in 2001, there were two similar but completely different teams, the Los Angeles Lakers and the Philadelphia 76ers, the so-called similarity is because they have a strong center and super guard in their team, the so-called difference is because the Lakers have been extremely easy along the way, 3:0 swept the Trail Blazers, 4:0 swept the Kings, 4:0 swept the Spurs, and the battle has not tasted defeat until here! And what about the 76ers, who fought seven games with the Raptors in the second round, and fought with the Bucks in the East to tie seven, and they were lucky enough to pass again, but this time? Their opponent is the Lakers, who have won 11 consecutive playoff games!

The 76ers haven't won a championship for 20 years, but this game, the first game against the Lakers in the 2001 Finals, has become a classic in the hearts of all fans!

When everyone was not optimistic about the 76ers, the 76ers actually won the game "miraculously", which is a victory that belongs to the 76ers, especially Allen Iverson! Iverson scored 48 points! At the end of regular time, the two sides tied 94-94, and then in just 5 minutes of overtime, Iverson scored 7 points! Similarly, Iverson also used the most "Ai" method - he took 41 shots in the game, which is an almost insane statistic, and the 76ers took 42 shots except for Iverson.

In addition to Iverson, Mutombo's 13 points, 16 rebounds and 5 blocks are the second-best players in the 76ers, but they are still not inferior to O'Neal, who scored 44 points and 20 rebounds in the game, but still can't get a win!

In the face of the inexplicable Iverson, Lakers head coach Phil Jackson boldly used a rookie to defend Iverson - a Tyronn Lue who was born two years later than Iverson, has the same height, the same weight, and the same furrow hairstyle.

This is Tyronn Lue's third season, and he averages 3.4 points in 12 minutes per game in the regular season, and he is not on the same level as Iverson, who averages 31.4 points per game, so in the first game, Iverson contributed a classic moment!

Iverson shook Tyronn Lue to the ground on the left rib and then stepped over him without mercy! This goal made Iverson's domineering and self-confidence on the offensive end vividly displayed!

In the second game of the finals between the two sides, Kobe Bryant found the feeling of shooting in this game after experiencing the embarrassment of 7 of 22 shots in the first game, he scored 31 points on 11-of-23 shooting, and also had 8 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals, and 2 blocks of all-around data, and in the matchup with Iverson, who scored only 23 points on 10-of-29 shooting, he pulled one back 1:1. But to be fair, the biggest contributor to the victory in this game was not Kobe, but O'Neal, who had 28 points, 20 rebounds and 8 blocks.

In the third game, Kobe Bryant scored 32 points on 13-of-30 shooting and Iverson scored 35 points and 12 rebounds on 12-of-30 shooting, and there was a player on both sides who played well on the bench, the Lakers were Robert Vitality, he scored 15 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks on 4-of-5 shooting, and the 76ers were Eric Snow, who got 14 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists in the game, but what really decided the direction of the game was the inside, O'Neal's 30 points, 12 rebounds, 3 assists and 4 blocks were slightly better than Mutombo's 23 points, 12 rebounds and 2 blocks, and the Lakers narrowly won 96-91.

The fourth game between the two sides ended in a heavy defeat for the 76ers, after three quarters, the Lakers had a full 19-point lead, Iverson scored 35 points, but Kobe Bryant almost played a triple-double, 19 points, 10 rebounds and 9 assists, O'Neal is still a giant on the inside, 34 points and 14 rebounds, although Mutombo shot 9-of-11 shooting, but only 19 points and 9 rebounds in the whole game.

In the sixth game, Iverson, who had no way back, broke out with a strong personal fighting force, he scored 37 points but still lost, Kobe Bryant still scored 26 points, 12 rebounds and 6 assists lightly, O'Neal scored 29 points, 13 rebounds and 5 blocks, Rick Fox played his best Finals, 20 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists, Derrick Fisher also scored 18 points, and the Lakers, who played with all their might, won the game effortlessly and defended the championship.

Since the playoffs this year, Kobe Bryant has begun to grow into a real superstar, and I have to admit that the role of the first championship Kobe Bryant is not as good as O'Neal, but this year, Kobe can barely be equal to O'Neal, because of O'Neal's existence, Kobe does not pursue scoring data, but pays more attention to the control of the rhythm of the court and the passing of the inside, but it is also not soft at critical moments.

In the 2001-2002 season, O'Neal averaged 27.2 points and 10.7 rebounds per game, and Koby scored rebounds and assists, Derrick Fisher played an increasingly big role in the team, averaging 11.2 points and 2.6 assists per game. It is also the series that has left the most controversy.

At that time, the Kings had a gorgeous style of play, and most of the real players were players who were more powerful than famous, Chris Webber, Mike Bibby, Christie, Divac, Turkoglou, Bobby Jackson, Scott Pollard, Gerald Wallace, and later after the disintegration of this Kings, each of them became a player who could resist one side of the new team. The Kings are ranked first in the league overall, while the Lakers are third in the West, which also confirms the strength of the Kings.

In the first game, the Lakers defeated the Kings 106:99, Kobe Bryant's 30 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists were the first contributors to the team's victory, and the continuous controversy then began in the second game, before the start of the second game, Kobe Bryant ate a spoiled (poisonous) burger at the home court of the Saramento Kings and caused diarrhea before the game, Kobe Bryant's performance was unsatisfactory after barely playing, scoring 22 points on 9-of-21 shooting, although O'Neal contributed 35 points and 12 rebounds, but still lost to the Kings' full staff, Webb had 21 points, 13 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and 5 blocks, Bibby had 20 points and 8 assists, Divac had 15 points and 14 rebounds, and Bobby Jackson came off the bench to score 17 points in 23 minutes. Regarding the problematic burger that Kobe Bryant ate, there is a grapevine that it was the King fan Xuyi, but it is ultimately unknown.

In the third game two days later, Kobe Bryant, who returned to his home court, still did not fully recover, he still did not find the feeling of shooting, only scored 22 points on 8-of-24 shooting, O'Neal 20 points and 19 rebounds did not prevent the team's defeat, the head coach of the Kings used a miserable seven-man rotation lineup for two consecutive games, tired the players to vomit blood, but received good results, except for Portera, who played less than 7 minutes, everyone else scored double-doubles, Webb contributed 26 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 steals, Bibby had 24 points, Christie had 17 points and 12 rebounds, Turkoglu had 14 points, Jackson had 11 points, and Divac had 11 points.

The fourth game pushed the whole series to a climax, with 11.8 seconds left in regular time, Divac made two free throws and the Kings led by two points at 99:97, at the critical moment, Kobe Bryant held the ball on the right side of the layup, but was surrounded by three Kings players, Kobe Bryant twisted his body in the air and barely threw the ball, the basketball knocked on the eaves of the rebound, O'Neal forced the rebound in the front court, missed the rebound, and when O'Neal was ready to fight for the rebound again, Divac slapped the ball out of the inside, The ball fell into the hands of Robert Horry on the outside, and with only 1.1 seconds left in the game, Horry did not make adjustments, and resisted the defense that pounced on him and shot directly into a three-point shot! Hit Lore!

Horry's 20+ and Tekoglu's 18+ were all over the place, and he scored 18 points, 14 rebounds and 5 assists, becoming the biggest contributor to the team's victory.

But the Lakers were not too happy, and in the next game, Mike Bibby, known as the "White Devil", scored a key shot with 8.2 seconds left in the game to take away a 92-91 victory!

There were 3 points and 22 seconds left in the game, O'Neal who scored 28 points and 7 rebounds in the whole court graduated, and the team briefly became Kobe's one-man team, at this time the score was 85:85.But unfortunately, from this time to the end of the game, Kobe's performance was 6 shots and 1 shot, and there were 29 seconds left in the game, Kings head coach Adelman arranged a wonderful blocking and demolition speed, Bibby quickly sent it to Webb, who immediately blocked Bibi who ran over after receiving the ball, and perfectly blocked Bibi's defender, Bibby scores on a shot.

There was also a huge controversy in this game, that is, O'Neal not only made six fouls, but also only made one free throw in the whole game, while the opponent's two big interior players Webb and Divac combined for 19 free throws, and since this game, the debate around the "free throw conspiracy theory" with this series has never stopped.

The Kings are 3-2 ahead, and if they win this game, the Kings will advance, but in fact, they had a good chance of winning this game, just hope.

In the first three quarters of this game, the two sides tied 75:75, who knew that the fourth quarter suddenly changed, not the players suddenly changed, but the referee suddenly changed, they kept blowing fouls on Kings players, and constantly gave Lakers players free throws, and finally the entire fourth quarter down, the Lakers made a total of 27 free throws, hitting 21 of them, and the king only had a pitiful 9 free throws, free throws are basically equal to sending points, such a disparity in the number of free throws The king obviously can't take away a victory, O'Neal 41 points and 17 rebounds in the whole game, Kobe Bryant had 31 points and 11 rebounds, but none of them were the best performers in the whole game, and the best people should be the three referees who enforced the game.

The game was dragged into a tie-break, with 8.2 seconds left in regular time, it was McBibby, he made two free throws to make the King 1100:100 into overtime, in overtime, it was the free throws that sang the main theme, O'Neal, Kobe, and Fisher made a total of 8 free throws, all of which hit, and the King didn't make a single free throw, the King had no choice but to lose, and the Lakers advanced to the Finals. The opponent of the Lakers Finals is the New Jersey Nets with Jason Kidd, although Kidd has a good performance of a triple-double, but the huge gap in strength is not something that a Kidd can make up, and finally the Lakers swept the Nets 4:0 and achieved the first triple championship after Jordan's Bulls Super League!

During the Lakers' three consecutive championships, the relationship between Kobe and O'Neal is still relatively harmonious, the diligent Kobe will call O'Neal at half past two in the morning and ask him to practice together, and O'Neal just wants to sleep, victory will cover up some things, but if there are too many victories, some things can't be covered, next season, with Kobe and O'Neal's brothel, the Lakers have to face a choice of 2 to 1......
