Oh my God, watch the news Odom, hey, I don't want to say anything more, I hope he can wake up and live an ordinary life...... In the 2009 series, Yao Ming was knocked to the ground by Lakers players, Da Yao was lying on the ground with his knees in pain, and the other four Lakers players retreated on their own, only Odom stood beside Yao Ming, bent down, and stretched out his hand to pull Da Yao, this picture moved the Chinese people...... He's a good guy who isn't bad in nature, it's just that he didn't meet the right person at the right time.

I hope he can get better, and if he has time, he will read him well.

…… Okay, let's move on.

The Lakers made history this year, they established the first dynasty after Jordan left the court, they dominated the NBA with their outstanding performance, the 2002-2003 season, the explosion of strong opponents in the West, the Lakers won 50 games in this series, but the ranking was only fifth in the West, San Antonio Spurs, Saramento Kings, Dallas Mavericks, Minnesota Timberwolves have won more than 50 games, in the first round, the Lakers' opponent is the Timberwolves with Garnett, The NBA playoffs are completely different from the regular season, although the Timberwolves are ranked higher than the Lakers, but they are not the Lakers' opponents at all, six games, the Lakers advanced 4:2, and the Timberwolves also conceded an average of minus 11 points per game while winning two games, Top star Garnett averaged 27 points and 15.7 rebounds per game, but only 1.8 of those rebounds were frontcourt rebounds, the second leader Troy Hudson played averagely, the third leader Wally Szczebiak played poorly, and the Lakers Kobe Bryant averaged 31.8 points, 5.2 rebounds and 6.7 assists per game, and O'Neal averaged 28.7 points and 15.3 rebounds per game - he averaged 4.8 frontcourt rebounds per game. Derrick Fisher also had a blast, averaging 15.5 points per game while also handing in a 53.1% shooting percentage.

The Lakers' opponent in the second round is the San Antonio Spurs who were almost swept by them last year, compared to last year, they mainly added two players, Manu Ginobili and Stephen Jackson, in the first game, the Lakers planted on Ginobili, he scored 15 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists and 4 steals on 4-of-9 shooting, Duncan contributed 28 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists and 3 blocks, the Spurs took away the victory, O'Neal 24 points and 21 rebounds, Kobe Bryant made 38 crazy shots but only scored 37 points.

If the Lakers still have hope of winning in the first game, then the second game is a convincing loss, and they lost by nearly 20 points! O'Neal's high efficiency of 10 of 14 shots did not save the Lakers, because Kobe Bryant, he made 24 shots in exchange for 27 points, and the Spurs were all soldiers, all six of the team scored double-doubles, and Bruce Bowen, who has always been a defensive warrior in the world, played the most classic game of his career like a god in this game, he shot 10 of 12 from the field, including 7 of 8 three-pointers and scored 27 points! Ginobili was once again a booster for the team's victory, scoring 17 points on 5-of-7 shooting.

After the last two games, the Lakers who returned to their home court finally found the feeling of winning, they won two games in a row, of which Kobe Bryant contributed 39 points and 35 points in two games, and O'Neal also hit 21 points, 16 rebounds and 29 points and 17 rebounds respectively, and the big score was tied 2:2, but who knew that this was the last game that the Lakers won this season.

In the fifth game, Kobe Bryant continued to maintain a high shot, high score model, in other words, Kobe's shot could not be exchanged for free throws at all, no lethality, he shot 31 times, only scored 36 points, the Lakers lost 94:96, the sixth game, the Lakers did not get any chance, Duncan dominated the restricted area, he got 37 points and 16 rebounds, the Lakers 82:110 defeat ended the season's journey, and the dream of four consecutive championships was shattered.

Victory will cover up something, in other words, defeat will expose something, and the six-game series with the Spurs, Kobe Bryant averaged 32.3 points per game and shot 43.4%, while O'Neal averaged 25.3 points per game and shot as much as 55.9%, which is not the most critical, the most critical thing is, Kobe Bryant averages 26.5 shots per game, while O'Neal only has 17, everyone knows that in an NBA team, the number of shots is directly proportional to the status of the player, so the question is, whose team is this team? Kobe, who doesn't have a high shooting percentage, why doesn't he pass the ball more to O'Neal, who is extremely efficient in shooting?

O'Neal began to have some dissatisfaction in his heart, compared to Kobe, although he is not young but not yet old enough to take a back seat, the relationship between O'Neal and Kobe Bryant has had some subtle cracks since the beginning of this failed season, but these cracks have been quietly repaired by the team's management.

The Lakers made two consecutive offseason trades, one of which was to sign Karl Malone with a veteran base salary, who averaged 20.6 points and 8.8 rebounds per game last season, while a veteran base salary was only $1.5 million. The second operation is to sign Gary Payton with the team's $4.92 million mid-class exception, needless to say, Payton averaged 20.4 points, 8.3 assists and 1.7 steals per game last season, plus the Lakers' existing O'Neal and Kobe, the team's strength is extremely strong for a while, forming a "F4" combination that shocked the league! The limelight is unparalleled!

But just when the Lakers were gearing up to compete for the championship again, something happened, and something was wrong!

On June 30, 2003, Kobe Bryant, who had just undergone knee surgery, checked into a hotel in Colora, and on July 1, an 18-year-old white girl named Caitlin Faypole reported to the Ying County Police Department that she was by Kobe's bow woman, this kind of thing will be rumored almost every offseason, just to be famous, just when everyone was full of hope that Kobe Bryant came out to refute the rumors, Kobe actually admitted it, but did not admit that it was a bow although the woman did it, only thought that it was XJ Yi, but even if it was XJ Yi, is also despised by the world, so almost overnight, Kobe Bryant fell from a proud son of the sky to a female committed.

Who is who is in it except Kobe and the girl, no one can say clearly, it may be really Kobe Bryant's bestiality, or it may be that the girl deliberately lured for fame or huge compensation, we will not mention the reason, here is only the impact of this incident on Kobe Bryant and the Lakers.

The case lasted for nearly 14 months, during which Kobe Bryant did not miss even a game, but the fans did not give Kobe a good look, even at home, whenever Kobe Bryant got the ball, there were always boos all over the court, even more so away! Whenever Kobe Bryant makes free throws, there will always be radical fans who hold the sign of "Bow Although Female Offender" and constantly shake behind the rebound, but Kobe always uses shots again and again to respond to those bad sounds, Kobe Bryant on the court is crazy to shoot, crazy scoring, Kobe Bryant can average 27.6 points per game this season, but the shooting rate is only 43.3%, this data is the lowest value of Kobe Bryant in the past seven years, compared to last season, Kobe Bryant's playing time has been shortened by nearly 4 minutes, However, the number of shots increased by 2.

You must know that the Lakers had a luxurious "F4" combination at that time, and Kobe's crazy shot caused dissatisfaction among other stars, including O'Neal, of course, this resentment has accumulated since last season's playoffs, and more importantly, in the Eagle County incident, Kobe Bryant also pulled O'Neal into the water!

Bryant made a surprising statement in an interview, saying that O'Neal had been to this before, but he had settled it with $1 million, and it would have been nice if he could have been like O'Neal at the time.

A word shocked a thousand layers of Lang, you must know that O'Neal was the media, fans, and the darling of the three realms of the league at that time, O'Neal was not only dominant on the court, funny, humorous, and caring off the court, and once became the signature task of the league.

Hearing Kobe's words, it is not enough for O'Neal to react, so let's take an example, you watched Huang ** was caught by the teacher in class by yourself, but you came to the sentence that the class leader Xiao Ming gave me, how do you think Xiao Ming will react?

There is no doubt that the relationship between Kobe Bryant and O'Neal deteriorated dramatically, and it was soon like fire, but the Lakers' successive victories overshadowed it.

It is worth mentioning that only a few weeks before Kobe's Eagle County incident, the daughter of Phil Jackson, who was the head coach of the Lakers at the time, had just been by a bow girl, so Jackson hated Kobe Bryant very, very, very much at that time, and the contradiction was once irreconcilable, and Kobe became the enemy of the world.

In Kobe's most difficult moment, there was another person who stood with Kobe, comforted him, encouraged him, and faced difficulties and obstacles with him, he was Derrick Fisher, the rookie in the same class as Kobe, Fisher was 4 years old, so Kobe regarded Fisher as his eldest brother, and when Kobe became the leader of the Lakers independently, no one dared to care about Kobe, including the head coach, but Fisher dared to manage, and he even dared to direct Kobe to run without the ball, which was unthinkable for any other point guard in the league.

The Lakers with the luxury "F4" combination finished second in the West in the regular season and reached the playoffs, and his first-round opponent was the Houston Rockets with Yao Ming and Francis, at that time the Rockets were obviously not strong enough to wrestle with the Lakers, but because this is the first time Yao Ming has faced the big shark O'Neal in the playoffs, let's take a brief look at the results of the battle between the two people.

Lakers vs. Rockets, O'Neal won the first game, Yao Ming only had 10 points and 11 rebounds on 4-of-11 shooting, while O'Neal scored 20 points, 17 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks on 8-of-17 shooting, the data is actually pale, and the final thing is that 18 seconds before the end, the Rockets also led the Lakers by 1 point, Kobe Bryant's three-point shot hit iron, O'Neal picked up the frontcourt rebound on Yao Ming's head, scored a rebound and scored a rebound and also caused Yao Ming's sixth foul in the game, killing the game.

In the second game between the two sides, Yao Ming won the game, he scored 21 points and 4 rebounds on 8-of-19 shooting, becoming the second hero behind Francis who scored 19 points, 10 rebounds and 12 assists, O'Neal's performance was unimpressive, only 7 points and 7 rebounds on 3-of-9 shooting, but the Lakers still won the game because of Kobe, who scored 36 points in the game, while the opposite "old cat" Catino Mobley only scored 9 points and also used up 11 shots.

In the third game, Yao Ming and O'Neal were evenly matched, the former scored 18 points and 10 rebounds on 9-of-13 shooting, the latter contributed 25 points and 11 rebounds on 10-of-16 shooting, Rockets Francis and Mobley combined for 48 points, and the bench Maurice Taylor became a wonder soldier, he contributed 16 points in the game, and the Rockets got the first and only victory in the series.

Game 5 was a showtime for Malone, who stole Francis in the final minute and then grabbed a gold-solid offensive rebound after Fisher missed a shot, and caused Francis to graduate, Malone hit a free throw to give the team a four-point lead, and the Rockets were powerless. In this game, Malone scored 30 points and became the biggest contributor to the victory, Yao Shark matchup, O'Neal had a slight advantage, he scored 17 points, 12 rebounds and 3 assists on 7-of-11 shooting, while Yao Ming graduated with six fouls early, and only played 34 minutes in the whole game, scoring 16 points and 7 rebounds on 7-of-15 shooting.

In the final game, the Rockets lost by nearly 20 points, Ao Ming only scored 10 points, 5 rebounds and 4 blocks on 3-of-10 shooting, while O'Neal scored 12 points, 9 rebounds, 5 assists and 4 blocks on 6-of-13 shooting.

Yao Ming faced O'Neal for the first time in the playoffs, averaging 15.4 points and 7.4 rebounds per game, while O'Neal was 16.2 points and 11.2 rebounds.

The Lakers' second-round opponent was the San Antonio Spurs, who eliminated the Lakers last year, and it was not Yao Ming who stood opposite O'Neal, but Duncan, and the big shark immediately showed his face, averaging 22.5 points and 14.5 rebounds per game in six games, and shooting 63.5%! Bryant averaged 26.3 points, 6.3 rebounds and 5.3 assists per game, and between the two teams, Fisher contributed a classic moment of "0.4 seconds kill" in Game 6, and the Lakers eliminated the Spurs 4:2 to enter the Western Conference Finals.

The opponent in the Western Conference is the Minnesota Timberwolves, Kobe Bryant did not play well, shooting only 41% per game in six games, but the Lakers also have O'Neal, he averaged 20.7 points per game with a shooting rate of 56.9% and grabbed 15.7 rebounds, including 5.3 rebounds in the frontcourt, the Lakers defeated the Timberwolves 4-2 again, and reached the top of the West as they wished, and their opponent in the Finals was the Detroit Pistons who joked about having "F5".

"F5" refers to Chauncey Billups, Richard Hamilton, Tyshawn Prince, Rasheed Wallace and Ben Wallace, who are ranked fourth in the East, and in the playoffs they beat the Bucks, Nets, and Pacers to reach the Finals, and their strong airtight defense is the foundation of their victory!

Although the Pistons reached the finals, they are relatively comprehensive, the Pistons are obviously at a disadvantage, Billups has an unstable shot, Hamilton's anxious three-point shot, Ben Wallace will not attack, rookie Prince is inexperienced, and there is no qualified bench and a series of problems have plagued the Pistons throughout the season, and the time seems to have returned to the 2000-2001 season, the Lakers vs. the 76ers, almost this year, the Lakers had the last laugh, but this time?

In a look of anticipation, the finals began vigorously, surprisingly, the Pistons defeated the Lakers in the first game, O'Neal broke Big Ben, he shot 13-of-16 and scored 34 points and 11 rebounds, but the whole team except O'Neal, no one played enough to put on the table, Kobe Bryant only scored 25 points on 10-of-27 shooting, and no one else scored more than 5 points low, the Lakers shot 39.7% from the field and the Pistons this data is 46.2%.

The first loss was nothing, the 76ers who faced Iverson that year also lost the first game, but they still won the series, and sure enough, in the second game, the Lakers played an overtime game to win the game, Kobe Bryant, who scored 33 points on 14-of-27 shooting, scored a three-pointer with 2.1 seconds left in the game, in overtime Kobe scored 4 points, O'Neal scored 6 points, and the Pistons only Hamilton scored 2 points.

The third game of the finals was completely reduced to the rhythm of the Pistons, under the strong defense of the Pistons, the Lakers only scored 68 points in the game, O'Neal scored 14 points on 7-of-14 shooting is already the highest on the team, Kobe Bryant only 11 points, and the two scored double-doubles in no one, while Pistons Hamilton contributed 31 points and Billups scored 19 points to help the team achieve a big victory.

In the fifth game, in the case of the two sides tied in the first three quarters, the Pistons suddenly made a force in the fourth quarter and won the game with a difference of 32:24 eight points, O'Neal played the best game, scoring 36 points and 20 rebounds on 16-of-21 shooting, Kobe Bryant scored 20 points on 8-of-25 shooting, except for these two, no one else scored a double-double, while Pistons Rashid 36 points and 13 rebounds, Billups 23 points, Hamilton 17 points, Big Ben 8 points and 13 rebounds.

In the fifth game, the Pistons, who had already taken the lead, were on a rampage, and they led by a full 23 points in the first three quarters! In the fourth quarter, although the Lakers chased 10 points, they still lost 87-100, losing the championship that should have been determined this year.

Kobe Bryant scored 24 points on 1-of-21 shooting, O'Neal scored 20 points on 7-of-13 shooting, and the Pistons' starting five Tigers all scored double-doubles, especially Big Ben, who scored 18 points and 22 rebounds in the game, including 10 frontcourt rebounds, and the Lakers only had 14 in this statistic.

Throughout this season of the Lakers, the seemingly luxurious lineup is actually difficult, Malone has only played 42 games this season due to injury, and there is also a game in the playoffs without a game, almost no outstanding games, Payton is slow to integrate into Jackson's complex triangle system, resulting in Payton almost being used up in the playoffs, averaging only 4.2 points per game in the finals, and what's worse is that O'Neal and Kobe Bryant have fallen out of trouble, and both of them asked the team to "choose one of the two" after the end of the season.

In the offseason, the Sharks traveled to Miami, while the Lakers acquired Caron Butler, Lamar Odom, Ryan Grant and a future first-round pick, and the deal put the Lakers into a three-year slump, during which the Lakers only did one thing repeatedly, and that was to help Kobe Bryant score points, including on January 22, 2003, Kobe Bryant scored a full 81 points on the Raptors' head.
