After the Lakers won the NBA championship from 2009 to 2010, the team's influence also reached its peak, and next, Kobe naturally wanted to accomplish a great thing that he had done with O'Neal, that is, three consecutive championships - three consecutive championships as a leader! Build a Lakers dynasty that truly belongs to Kobe!

On July 9, 2010, the Lakers reached a four-year contract worth $16 million with Steve Blake, a guard who played for the Trail Blazers last year. The shortcomings are that he has a slow pace, basically no ability to break through, and his physical condition is mediocre, and he mainly plays as the team's backup point guard in the new season, averaging 4.0 points and 2.2 assists per game.

On July 23, 2010, the Lakers finalized a two-year contract worth $3.5 million with free agent Matt Barnes, Barnes is nicknamed "Ba Ye", and he is also a master on the court, fighting and charging is always at the forefront, once when he played with the Grizzlies, Barnes also provoked Kobe, Barnes is a good 3D player on the court, tough defense, three-point shooting ability is acceptable, but the sad thing is that no one can think that a few years later, Barnes' wife would have been involved with Fisher, who played with Barnes this season......

The new season has only started 11 games, and the Lakers sent Vujacic to the Nets in order to save 4 million in the luxury tax, and they got two second-round picks and veteran Joe Smith.

This season, the Lakers will play well, and Kobe, Gasol, Artest, Fisher, Shannon Brown also played a full 82 games, Odom won the best sixth man award this season, Kobe Bryant was selected as an All-Star for the thirteenth consecutive season as the All-Star vote king, and won the fourth All-Star MVP of his career, Bynum had surgery to restore the knee meniscus in the offseason, but fortunately returned to the court in the middle of the season, the Lakers won 57 games this season, Tied for second place in the West with the Dallas Mavericks, this season can be called the strongest season in NBA history, with nine teams in the league winning more than 50 games, and the Lakers will have a lot of difficulties if they want to defend their title!

In the first round of the playoffs, the Lakers' opponent was the young New Orleans Hornets, who had the talented point guard Chris Paul and the veteran Trevor Ariza, and the defensive titan Emeka Okafor on the inside, which is also a strong playoff team, but the Hornets are still weaker than the Lakers in terms of the team's strength on paper.

But what is surprising is that in the first game, the Lakers fell a big heel, Chris Paul slashed 33 points, 7 rebounds, 14 assists and 4 steals on 11-of-18 shooting! He led the Hornets to take the Staples Center first! Paul contributed a full 17 points in the crucial fourth quarter! In contrast, Bryant's 34 points offset Paul's threat on the offensive end, but the rest of the players didn't play well, and the Lakers lost the game 100-109. In the last two games, Kobe gave up his personal singles, Kobe Bryant sprained his ankle in the penultimate game of the regular season, coupled with his good and bad knee throughout the season, so that he could not go all out on the offensive end, Kobe Bryant no longer blindly emphasized individual singles, and the team played more united, the Lakers also won two games in a row, and in the fourth game, Paul broke out again, this time, he took out a triple-double of 27 points, 13 rebounds and 15 assists, and led the Hornets to win the game and equalize the big score!

In the last two games, the Lakers never gave the Hornets any chance, Kobe Bryant was still in a state of decentralization, his last two games were only 13 and 16 shots, both of which were significantly lower than the average number of shots per game in the regular season, Kobe Bryant did not play alone, the Lakers were more fluid in running the ball, the team's offense was more efficient, and finally the Lakers defeated the Hornets 4:2 and advanced to the second round.

This round of the series is also the first time that the Lakers have fought against the Hornets in the playoffs, Paul's outstanding play left a huge impression on the Lakers management, averaging 22.0 points, 6.7 rebounds, 11.5 assists and 1.8 steals per game, 54.5% shooting rate and 47.4% three-point shooting rate have made the Lakers' management heartbroken, their feelings for Paul were not released until many years later, and finally one step away, Paul has one foot in Los Angeles, It was ruined by the NBA President's League.

The Lakers' second-round opponent is the Dallas Mavericks, the Mavericks have been in the role of accompanying the prince in the past few years after losing to Miami in the 2006 Finals, although every year in the playoffs, but every year in the first round, the only one to reach the second round in 2009 was only to win a mere game on the Nuggets, such a state is far from the Lakers who won two consecutive championships.

The first game was held at the Staples Center of the Lakers, the Mavericks played a tenacious game, Kobe Bryant because of ankle and knee injuries, almost did not rush the Mavericks inside, but frequently shot outside, three-point or mid-to-long shots, and the Mavericks' team building model is very simple, Tyson Chandler and Brandon Haywood are responsible for interior defense, Sean Marion and Kony Brewer are responsible for outside defense and fast break, backup guard Jose Barria is responsible for breaking, starting guard Jason Kidd is responsible for passing and playing iron, Dirk Nowitzki, Jason Terry and Peja Stojakovic were in charge of the shots, and the whole team was very characterized.

In the third quarter of this game, Kobe Bryant suddenly broke out, scoring 15 points in a single quarter, and in the middle of the third quarter, the Lakers once led the Mavericks by as many as 16 points! But then, the Mavericks all rushed in as if they had eaten viagra, they rushed in, the three-point line felt hot, Nowitzki scored three points, Tyson, Marion's hand rushed to the basket continuously, Terry hit a three-pointer, and the game chased 10 points, the Lakers called a timeout, and the Lakers just took a breath when they came back from the pause, and the Mavericks came again! Nowitzki, Kearny Brewer, Tyson Chandler, Marion, Barria, and the Mavericks played a hard-hitting group of players that made the Lakers miserable, and Nowitzki scored another 11 points in the fourth quarter! In the last 1 minute of the game, Kobe Bryant singled Kidd, and hit his signature dribble and back-to-back jumper, which gave the Lakers a 3-point lead at 9:4:91!

These are stable, you can take a breath, the Mavericks will immediately beat you out of tears, Nowitzki singled Odom, and sacrificed a trick for the little man to use a breakthrough stoppage and a backward mounted archery to send the ball to the basket, and the Lakers only led by 1 point at 94:93! Kobe Bryant still singled Kidd, after rushing in, Chandler perfectly made up the defense, Kobe Bryant could only throw the ball out of the restricted area, and it happened to be thrown into Jason Terry's arms, the Mavericks immediately attacked quickly, the Lakers could only be a tactical foul, and Kobe, who made a key mistake, was also annoyed.

With 20.3 seconds left in the game, the Lakers still have a 1-point lead, the Mavericks possess the ball, and at the critical moment, Gasol fouled Nowitzki who received the ball, Nowitzki hit both free throws, the Mavericks led by 1 point, and Cuban, the owner of the Mavericks standing outside the court, shouted excitedly! At the critical moment, Gasol made another mistake, his pass was stolen by Jason Kidd, the Lakers could only foul Kidd, Kidd made one of two free throws, the Mavericks 96:94, Kobe missed the shot, and the Lakers lost the first game.

The Lakers used their own deeds to tell us a truth, if you want to succeed, you must go up if you have difficulties, and you must go up if there are no difficulties to create difficulties! According to the strength of the team, the Lakers are above the Mavericks, and the Lakers once extended the score to as many as 17 points, but in the end, after a messy battle, the Lakers actually lost......

Dirk Nowitzki of the Mavericks scored 28 points and 14 rebounds on 11-of-22 shooting, Terry scored 15 points on 6-of-10 shooting, and on the Lakers' side, Kobe Bryant scored 36 points and 5 rebounds on 14-of-29 shooting, and did not send a single assist in the game, Odom scored 15 points and 12 rebounds on 5-of-10 shooting, and Gasol scored 15 points, 11 rebounds and 7 assists on 5-of-10 shooting, which seems to be a good statistic, but in fact, Gasol was severely suppressed by Tyson Chandler in the game, In the third quarter, when the Mavericks were eating away at the Lakers' lead, Gasol failed to score a number of consecutive singles Chandler, and in the final moments of the game, a senseless foul and a fatal mistake completely buried the game.

The second game between the two sides started quickly, in the first half, Kobe Bryant scored 14 points on 6-of-11 shooting, Bynum played well, scoring 14 points on 6-of-8 shooting, but the Mavericks played more united under the leadership of Nowitzki, Dirk was on fire, scoring 15 points on 6-of-9 shooting, Marion, Kidd, Tyson Chandler, and Sean Stevenson all had a good performance, and at the end of the first half, the Lakers trailed the Mavericks by two points at 49:51.

In the third quarter of the game, the Mavericks fell into a slump on the offensive end, scoring only 17 points in a single quarter, but the Lakers did not seize this rare opportunity, they were not as good as the Lakers on the offensive end, they only scored a mere 13 points, the key fourth quarter of the game, the Lakers were killed by one person, he was Jose Barria, the Mavericks' backup guard, he scored 8 points in the fourth quarter, don't underestimate this meagre 8 points, whenever the Lakers get up to catch up with the score, Barria can always step up, Or directly enter the Lakers inside to score points, or create fouls, score points at the free throw line, the short Barria is like treating the Lakers restricted area as his home, casually in, casually out, and don't forget to lock it when he goes out, and finally the Lakers lost the second game 81-93.

Kobe Bryant scored 23 points on 9-of-20 shooting, Bynum scored 18 points and 13 rebounds on 8-of-11 shooting, Gasol scored 13 points and 10 rebounds on 5-of-12 shooting, Artest scored 11 points and 6 rebounds on 4-of-10 shooting, and no other player scored double-doubles, and Nowitzki on the Mavericks' side was still the team's pillar, with 24 points and 7 rebounds on 9-of-16 shooting, and Marion Kidd and Barria both scored more than 10 points.

The third game was moved to the American Airlines Center, the home of the Mavericks, and the Lakers also led the way in this game, but in the end, they were overtaken by the Mavericks in the crucial fourth quarter and lost helplessly! Jason Terry was the key to the Mavericks' victory, scoring a crucial seven points in the final five minutes of the fourth quarter, sharing a lot of offensive pressure for Nowitzki, and he finished with 23 points on 7-of-10 shooting! Nowitzki scored 32 points and 9 rebounds on 12-of-19 shooting, completely depleting Gasol, and Peja Stojakovic also made a huge contribution to the Mavericks, who stepped up in the first half of the fourth quarter when the Mavericks were about to be beaten by the Lakers, scoring 10 points alone to help the Mavericks bite the score tightly, which led to Terry's counterattack, and finally he scored 15 points in the game. For the Lakers, Bynum had a team-high 21 points and 10 rebounds, Odom had 18 points and six rebounds, Kobe Bryant had 17 points and six assists on 8-of-16 shooting, and Gasol contributed only 12 points and eight rebounds.

0:3, there has never been a team in the history of the NBA that can still be able to fight back successfully in such a desperate situation, but Kobe Bryant does not believe in evil, he gritted his teeth, and turned on the offensive mode in the first quarter of the fourth game between the two sides, scoring 13 points in 6 of 8 shots in a single quarter, but the Mavericks played more united and more efficient, each of the eight players on the court in the first quarter scored, and the Lakers were still 4 points behind the Mavericks at 23:27 in the first quarter.

In the second quarter, Terry launched Jet Mode, and his three-pointers from the outside destroyed the Lakers' defense again and again, killing the Lakers' confidence, and he scored 17 points on 6-of-9 shooting, including 5-of-6 three-pointers in the single quarter! Peja also hit two three-pointers, a mid-range shot and a free throw to score 9 points, while the Lakers were completely blinded, and no player scored more than 1 goal in the entire quarter of the game, and the Lakers were hit by the Mavericks in the second quarter with a 16:36 super attack wave! The score was pulled apart in an instant!

The entire second half was reduced to garbage time, and Terry and Peja were still hot in their hands, and both players shot 3-of-3 from three-point range in the second half! In the end, in the fourth game between the two sides, the Lakers lost to the Mavericks 86-122 and were swept by the Mavericks 0-4, saying goodbye to the playoffs in an almost humiliating way.

Throughout the whole series, the Lakers' defeat was accidental but inevitable, first of all, Kobe's injury has not improved, and the average of 23.3 points and 2.5 assists per game has declined significantly compared with the regular season, the Lakers have been expecting Shannon Brown to be able to top up when Kobe Bryant rests, but he has not been able to play, secondly, Gasol can't defend Dirk on the defensive end, and was completely killed by Chandler on offense, averaging 12.5 points, 9.3 rebounds and 42.2% per game Bynum may be the best player on the team, averaging 13.3 points, 8.5 rebounds per game and shooting 52.4% from the field, but he has taken too few shots, averaging 10.5 shots per game behind Kobe, Gasol, and Odom.

Terry of the Mavericks averaged 19.8 points and 3.8 assists per game in the whole series, shooting 58.7% from the field, and an astonishing 68.4% from three-point range, which made the Lakers unable to find anyone to limit him for a whole round!
