Kobe knew the Knicks would continue to black, 76 People lost to the Pacers 90 to 94, Iverson alone picked the group, only one assist in the entire game.
The second game between the Lakers and the Spurs was probably an easy win in the first game. After the opening, the Lakers played somewhat casually.
Kobe started the game with a high degree of difficulty. It didn’t look at the pass and assists O’Neal for a dunk. The ball was very beautiful, but no matter how beautiful it was, it only scored two points. As a coach, Nelson does not want players to play this way in key games.
Billups shot very resolutely in this game, making four open three-pointers and one mid-range shot.
The Lakers players have made many mistakes in cooperation, and the form on the court is more anxious. The two sides scored close in the first quarter, 19 to 18, and the Lakers only led by one point.

The Lakers’ main lineup prevented the Spurs’ two quick counterattacks. Kobe also used a misplaced breakthrough to dunk the basket twice. Ray Allen also showed his power. He soared for three three-pointers and passed Avery Johnson for a layup. In scoring, the Lakers played an 18 to 5 wave of attacks and opened the score in one breath.
The Lakers have people who can run, and there are more than one. If Popovich is the Lakers head coach, he can also play all kinds of skills like his teacher Nelson, he has this ability.
In adversity, the Spurs were desperate and were forced to start a long-range shot attempt. Although the score did not get closer, it did not continue to expand. Kobe didn’t expect the Spurs to have such a toughness!
In the second half, the Spurs’ hands began to cool down. Facing the Lakers outside the rotation position did not take advantage, only the Admiral desperately carried O’Neal to score two.
In Kobe’s previous life, this shrinking season was very magical. The Knicks created a black eight miracle and reached the finals. The Spurs were also led by Duncan and David Robinson, dragged the shrimp soldiers and crabs into the finals and won O’Brien. Trophy. Unfortunately, the Spurs did not have Duncan, who was the peak of his debut, and the playoffs stopped in the second round.

117 to 90, the Lakers won another game, with a total score of 2 to 0.
In an interview after the game, Popovich said he was not depressed, because the Spurs have played a tenacious style, and Popovich promised to make the Lakers look good at home.
The 1998-1999 regular season awards came out one after another. Trailblazers head coach Mike Dunleavy won the best coach. Last season, Nelson led the Lakers to break the regular season win record and won the best coach. The league is impossible. Let him even Zhuang.
Magic Darrell Armstrong got the best sixth man, the data is beautiful enough, but the defensive end is a black hole.
The most improved player was won by Nash, who averaged 19.2 points and 13.4 assists per game this season.

The best defensive player is the Heat’s Alonzo Mourning. Because the Heat was hacked by the Knicks in the first round, he made a very impressive speech.
Kobe and O’Neal entered the first team of the best team, the other three are Iverson, Duncan, Malone.
Second team: Ewing, Mourning, Grant Hill, Kidd, Payton.
Three teams: Stockton, Antonio McDyess, Garnett, Webber, Tim Hardaway.
The All-Defensive Team has nothing to do with the Lakers. The first team has Duncan, Kidd, Payton, Malone, Pippen and Mourning. The second team has Mucci Blaylock, PJ-Brown, Dicambe-Mutombo, Theo Ratliff and Bowen.
Many selections in the shrinking season are full of controversy, especially after the Heat were hacked. But there is no excuse for Kobe’s MVP, after all, where are the results and statistics.
The third game was moved to San Antonio. On the eve of the game, the hotel under the Lakers had no water and power. Many problems occurred. In the middle of the night, people set off fireworks and firecrackers outside the hotel, and everyone did not rest well.

Sports cars, beauties, villas, especially nightclubs in major cities, have almost become the must-see places for these players to indulge in pleasure. Before the last Beijing Olympics, the three heroes of Anthony, James and Wade were Typical cases of this kind.

This game was an atypical old Nelson game. Tom Thibodeau cheered on the sidelines. It was the game he wanted most, and the Lakers established an 11-point advantage in the first quarter.
After the Lakers continued to play positions to ensure the speed of the defense, O’Neal and Barkley also protected the rebounds, and Popovich’s “shark-cutting tactics” became useless.
