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 from the court, which is an almost crazy statistic, and the 76ers have taken 42 shots in total, 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 as good as 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 who scored 35 points and 12 rebounds on 12-of-30 shooting, and there was a player on both sides who played well, the Lakers were Robert Hawley, who 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 fifth game, the irreversible Iverson broke out with a strong personal combat effectiveness, 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 also defended the championship, O'Neal has been crowned the MVP of the Finals twice!

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, Kobe Bryant 25.2 points, 5.5 rebounds and 5.5 assists, Derrick Fisher's role in the team is getting bigger and bigger, and he can also average 11.2 points and 2.6 assists per game.

This series is arguably the most tragic series in NBA history, with a score difference of no more than 10 points per game, and both Duncan and O'Neal have put on wonderful performances for it!

In the first game, Duncan and O'Neal turned the game into a meat grinder-like game, every goal seemed extremely difficult, Duncan contributed 26 points, 21 rebounds, 5 assists and 4 blocks on 9-of-30 shooting, and only 1 turnover, while O'Neal scored 23 points, 17 rebounds, 4 blocks and 3 turnovers on 9-of-22 shooting, both superstars suppressed each other on the defensive end, and no one could take advantage, at this moment, Kobe Bryant stepped up, he contributed 20 points on 8-of-18 shooting, In the final moments of the game, Kobe Bryant singled Bruce Bowen's hand to seal the victory for the Lakers, and Samaki Walker, a rookie in the same class as Kobe, performed very well at the moment, he scored 12 points and 9 rebounds on 5-of-6 shooting to help the Lakers win the first game 86-80,

In the second game, O'Neal's 19 points and 7 rebounds were far less stable than Duncan's 27 points, 17 rebounds, 5 assists and 5 blocks, Uncle Bao scored 13 points and Daniels on the bench scored 14 points to help the Spurs narrowly defeat the Lakers 88-85, Kobe Bryant used 25 shots in exchange for 26 points, O'Neal, Kobe Bryant plus Fisher, who scored 12 points, these three are the only three players in the Lakers who scored double-doubles.

The third game was played at the home of the Spurs, and the Spurs got three good news before the game, of course, to the Lakers, these three good news were all bad news, first, Duncan beat Kidd to get the most valuable player of the season, in the pre-game opening ceremony, Duncan raised the MVP trophy in the cheers of the whole home fans, and the emotions of the audience were also adjusted to the most**, second, O'Neal injured his palm in the second game, and had to pull a bandage on the court in this game, third, The return of Spurs spiritual leader David Robinson from injury and the return of the Spurs' twin towers are all detrimental to the Lakers.

This game is O'Neal and Duncan exploded again, the former scored 22 points and 15 rebounds on 10-of-20 shooting, the latter scored 28 points and 12 rebounds on 9-of-26 shooting, and the Spurs' Tony Parker scored 24 points to help Duncan share the offensive pressure, but on the Lakers' side, Kobe Bryant scored 31 points on 31 crazy shots to help the Lakers win the third game 99-89.

In the fourth game, the Spurs were almost about to win, O'Neal "only" scored 22 points and 11 rebounds in the whole game, and he also fouled five times, and had to be timid in defense, while Kobe Bryant was armed with a giant hammer and played iron crazily, Duncan scored 30 points, 11 rebounds, 6 assists and 4 blocks on 9-of-15 shooting, Robinson scored 12 points and 11 rebounds on 6-of-9 shooting, but! But! Attention everyone! I'm going to say buts again! But Kobe, who couldn't find a feeling in the game all night, became a savior again in the final moments of the game! In the last two minutes of the game, Kobe Bryant scored a crucial three-pointer at the top of the arc, and in the next round, the Lakers still couldn't play a decent offense, seeing that 24 seconds were about to arrive, Kobe Bryant was outside the three-point line, facing Uncle Bao's defense, and forced a three-point shot! Equalize the score! With half a minute left in the game, each team has a stunner, the Spurs attack failed, Kobe Bryant singled out Bowen, but this time he failed, he dribbled and broke through and inexplicably dropped the ball! Fisher picked up the ball, there was no time, he threw it casually, the basketball knocked on the front eaves of the basket and then fell down, under the basketball, there were three Spurs players, the most critical moment, Kobe jumped high and grabbed the ball to complete the basket, Kobe killed the Spurs in the most NB way!

In the final moments of Game 5, Kobe Bryant singled Bowen, but this time he didn't force his shot, but distributed the ball to Robert Hawley, who was ambushed in the bottom corner, as the biggest player in history, (note, no one) Hawley got up and down, hit a three-pointer to extend the difference to 7 points, and the Spurs were ultimately powerless.

In five games, the Lakers defeated the Spurs 4:1, but the game process was not easy, it can be said that the Spurs were not defeated by O'Neal this year, but by Kobe, Kobe averaged 26.2 points, 5.4 rebounds and 4.8 assists per game in this round of the series, shooting 45.5%, and more importantly, every time at the most critical moment of the game, Kobe Bryant can always help the Lakers win the final victory of the game, and this ability to turn the tide at critical moments, This is the most essential difference between a star and a superstar!

The Lakers' opponent in the Western Conference Finals is their old rival, the Saramento Kings, who have met in the playoffs for three consecutive seasons, and this series is the only series in the East and West that year to have played seven games, and it is also the most controversial series. 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 (or may be poisonous, Kobe Bryant was plotted) Burger at the home court of the Saramento Kings caused pre-game diarrhea, Kobe Bryant's performance was unsatisfactory after he barely played, scoring 22 points on only 9-of-21 shooting, although O'Neal contributed 35 points and 12 rebounds, However, Webb contributed 21 points, 13 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and 5 blocks in the overall statistics, Bibby 20 points and 8 assists, Divac 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 is the Kings fan Xuyi, but there is always no evidence and it is finally closed.

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 **, there were 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, but unfortunately, The ball fell into the hands of Robert Horry, who is known as one of the biggest hearts in history from the outside, and there were only 1.1 seconds left in the game. Hit Lore!

Horry's stunner made Divac, Bibby, Webb 20+ and Tekoglu's 18+ in vain, he scored 18 points, 14 rebounds and 5 assists, becoming the biggest contributor to the team's victory, speaking of this Holly, this is a particularly awesome person, this brother has played in the league for 16 years, and he can't shoot a three-pointer per game, but at the critical moment, he really scores, which is really nothing to do.

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 are 3 minutes 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. 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 still McBibby, he made two free throws to make the Kings 100:100 into overtime, in overtime, the main theme was still free throws, free throws, damn free throws, O'Neal, Kobe, Fisher made a total of 8 free throws, all hit, and the King didn't make a single free throw, the King had no choice but to lose, the Lakers advanced to the Finals, O'Neal averaged 30.3 points and 13.6 rebounds per game, showing absolute dominance.

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! The Lakers have started a new dynasty era!

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 something, but if there are too many wins, some things can't be covered, next season, with the sudden outbreak of contradictions between Kobe and O'Neal, the Lakers have to face the choice of 2 to 1......
