NBA: I was the No. 1 pick at the beginning

At the end of the halftime game, when the lights began to flicker, the fans in the audience realized that there was another highlight in this game.

Because the two teams played so fiercely in the first half, the fans in the audience forgot about it.

The fans who reacted at this moment also began to cheer.

On the sidelines, neither the Lakers players nor the Warriors players left the court.

Because this moment is what they want to see.

And because Kobe has too many teammates.

So O'Neill and others also stood on the sidelines.

They all wanted to see Kobe's jersey retirement ceremony up close.

Throughout Kobe's career, there are too many good teammates.

O'Neal, Eddie Jones, Derek Fisher, Caron Butler.

Odom, Metta World Peace, Gasol, Bynum, Metta World Peace.

Jokic, Anthony, Tucker, Chen Tian and so on.

Now all of them are on the sidelines, waiting for Kobe to play.

Because everyone knows that when this ceremony is over tonight, Kobe's career as a basketball player will be perfect.

Because of the Lakers' new arena, Kobe's jersey has not been retired for a long time.

But at this moment, the Black Mamba's jersey is finally about to be retired.

The current exclusive host of the Lakers, Bob, also shouted excitedly.

"Let us welcome, the legend of the Lakers, the Black Mamba of the stadium, Kobe...Bryant!"

As soon as the voice came out, all the fans in the audience stood up and cheered.

"Mvp, mvp, mvp...."

Kobe also came to the field in a suit.

Looking at Kobe, Chen Tian couldn't help thinking about it.

"I have to say, Kobe is really handsome in a suit."

After Kobe came to the center of the stadium and greeted the fans, the host on the scene also continued.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please give a round of applause to the general manager, Magic Irving Johnson."

The fans in the audience also applauded.

After Johnson came up, he also smiled and hugged Kobe.

"Good evening, Lakers Nation fans!"

All the fans cheered when they heard this.

"We're here tonight to celebrate the best of the best in the purple and gold!"

"In his 20-year career, he has excited us countless times and made our scalps tingle!"

"He has created countless miracles and brought us seven championships!"

"Let us recall, you with the No. 8 jersey brought us three championship rings, and four championship rings with the No. 24!"

"The Lakers are so lucky to have had a player like him for the past 20 years!"

"He is so good, his desire to win is simply overwhelming!"

"And tonight, we have the honor of retiring both of his jerseys at the same time!"

"I want you to record every game, especially tonight!"

"Because in this world, there will never, ever, ever be another Kobe Bryant!"

"Who remembers Kobe's 81 points in a single game!"

"Finally, there's never going to be a player's retirement battle over this guy, 60 points, oh my god!"

"Before I hand over the microphone to Lakers President Xi Rui Li, I want to say two more things!"

"Kobe, Jerry West called me the day you tried out!"

"He said, Magician, this is the most powerful trial training I have ever seen, not one of them!"

"You're right, Jerry, the guy did it!"

Old man West also laughed off the court.

"And the second thing, Kobe, we need you now!"

"I saw countless fans come here tonight, celebrating 20 years of your career!"

"This is the unity of the Lakers, you have brought them together!"

"United to Los Angeles, for 20 years!"

"We are grateful for that!"

The fans in the audience cheered when they heard this.

"Then next, Ms. Li Xirui will be invited to the stage."

All I saw was Li Xirui walking onto the stage gracefully.

For Lakers fans, Li Xirui became the team's owner, which made them look forward to it very much.

Because everyone knew that standing behind Li Xirui was Chen Tian.

After Li Xirui became the owner of the Lakers, both the management and the players of the Lakers have become unprecedentedly united.

This is how the Lakers achieved their four consecutive championships.

Although Li Xirui doesn't come to the arena very often, it's the best decision just because she doesn't come.

So when Li Xirui came up, all the fans applauded.

The most interesting thing is the fans here on the Internet.

Every time I see Li Xirui, the Bass family will be called out on the Internet.

Perhaps until now, the only people who regret it the most are the Bass brothers and sisters.

And after Li Xirui came up, Johnson insisted on teasing him.

"Oh, I have to say something after our boss comes up!"

"That is, we need to invite someone who is very important to the Lakers. Do you know who it is!"

Immediately, Chen Tian's name rang out in the audience.

And the big screen at the scene was also very interesting, directly showing the images of Chen Tian and Li Xirui on it.

This time the audience burst into laughter.

And all the girls in the box laughed when they saw this scene.

Chen Tian also shook his head and smiled, then walked forward.

Immediately, the fans in the audience also shouted.

Chen Tian walked up and hugged Kobe first. This moment seemed to be the alternation of the old and new kings.

Then Chen Tian came to Li Xirui's side, and all the fans shouted a kiss.

There was no hesitation on Chen Tian's side, and he kissed Li Xirui directly.

This made Li Xirui's cheeks flush instantly.

"Oh, I suddenly feel a little regretful!"

As soon as Johnson said this, the audience laughed even louder.

"Okay, let's welcome the team owner Ms. Li Xirui to speak."

After speaking, Johnson also handed over the microphone to Li Xirui.

"Kobe, we knew this day would come sooner or later, and now it's here!"

"Hanging your jersey over the Sky Arena, that's the thing you want to see when you finish your career!"

"But when you're playing, that's not what drives you!"

"Actually, I don't want to make it so sad, but this is the culture and ritual of the team!"

"Tonight we still want to reminisce about your 20-year career journey!"

"Tonight, we're retiring both of your jerseys because they're both great enough!"

"Tonight, I am honored to represent all Lakers fans!"

"All so excited for me to express my gratitude for all your accomplishments!"

"Thank you Kobe, thank you for your Mamba spirit, never give up and bring this belief to every game!"

"And many nights I led the team to complete the reversal with my own power!"

"Thank you Kobe, you taught us the Mamba spirit of never giving up, and taught us not to let failure be written into the dictionary of life!"

"Kobe, I want to say thank you for your loyalty to Zijin, thank you for staying with the Lakers for life!"

"Because even if you leave this court, you are still in the Zijin Army, and your Mamba spirit has always been with the Lakers!"

"The next Lakers, no one will be able to wear No. 8 and No. 24 jerseys, because we will retire these two jerseys tonight."

When the fans heard this, they knew the time had come.

All the fans stood up and cheered.

And Kobe smiled and hugged Li Xirui.

And the commentator's voice also sounded at this time.

"Time is up, Lakers fans, please focus on the southeast corner above the arena!"

"We will pay tribute to the famous Lakers Kobe Bryant here!"

"Hang the number 8 and 24 jerseys there forever."

With the cheering and watching of the fans in the stadium, the lights of the arena also gathered there.

Everyone is looking there.

Finally, driven by the sound of music, the No. 8 and No. 24 jerseys were slowly pulled apart.

Under the cheers of the fans, the No. 8 and No. 24 jerseys remained in the sky above the Sky Arena forever.

After this moment, Kobe's 20-year basketball career officially came to a perfect end.

Then the big screen above the arena also played the highlight moments of Kobe's entire career.

Especially the 81-point game against the Raptors.

The fans in the audience watched Kobe's career highlights, full of memories.

On the inside of the field, Vanessa also came to the field with the children.

Kobe also hugged his beloved wife deeply.

Then Kobe picked Gianna up and took the microphone from the staff.

The audience applauded thunderously, and they knew it was time for Kobe to speak.

Bryant's mood is obviously a little excited.

He just smiled while holding the microphone, but didn't say a word.

At this time, the fans in the audience were also shouting Kobe's name.

"Kobe! Kobe! Kobe..."

"Thank you, everyone, for everything tonight, thank you!"

"It's not just about my jersey hanging there!"

"Even every superstar who retired the jersey before me!"

"Without them, I wouldn't be here today!"

"They inspire me to give my best every day!"

"Magician, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Shaquille O'Neal, Chen Tian, ​​they all irritate me every night!"

"And Baylor, Chamberlain, Goodrich, West, Worthy and more!"

"Secondly, I thank the Lakers for this league!"

"Thanks to old Bass, he believed in that skinny kid who came to Philadelphia!"

As soon as Kobe said this, the fans in the audience applauded again and again.

Buss Sr.'s contribution to the Lakers is indelible.

"Third, tonight is more about the next generation of Lakers players. With this Lakers lineup, they will pass on the glory of the Purple and Gold Legion!"

"Inherited to the present, they are the ones who drive the Lakers forward!"

"This lineup will definitely make the next 20 years more brilliant than the last 20 years!"

As soon as Kobe said this, the camera also showed the faces of Chen Tian and everyone else in the Lakers.

There is no doubt that the Lakers are more brilliant.

"Fourth, about the fans present and the media!"

"You probably don't know, your company for me!"

"No matter when I get up at 05:30 in the morning to practice ball and physical fitness, when I don't know if I can survive!"

"I will think of your high expectations and high demands on me and the Lakers, which allowed me to survive those early mornings, from 800 to 400 to 100 shots!"

"thank you!"

"Fifth, this time I want to thank my family, my wife Vanessa!"

"There's a story you don't know, my last game at Staples!"

"I was very tired against the Jazz. I went home and complained that I was too tired. I don't know if I can last!"

"I still have a game, I really have no energy!"

"At this time she said, I'll show you a baby, and I have a gift for you for the last game!"

"She showed me all the videos of retired jerseys before me!"

"From Baylor to Magic, to O'Neal, to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Michael Jordan!"

"Bill Russell, Larry Bird, and after seeing these, I know that I have worked hard!"

"Thank you, dear, for being my motivation and inspiration for so many years!"

"And finally our baby girls, Natalia, Gianna, Bianca!"

"You know, if you work hard, your dreams will come true!"

"You know it, and we all know it!"

"Finally, thank you, I love you, Black Mamba is gone!"

"But the Lakers' dynasty will not stop, because you will have a new king!"

After Kobe finished speaking, he also looked at Chen Tian.

And Chen Tian made a five gesture to Kobe.

Everyone understands this gesture, Chen Tian is fighting for the fifth consecutive championship.

Kobe also laughed when he saw this gesture.

"Thank you, thank you."

After speaking, Kobe put the microphone on the ground.

At this time, the two cheerleaders also brought up the photo frame containing Kobe's two jerseys.

And after that, all of Kobe's friends also came up to take photos with Kobe.

Even the players of the Warriors came up together to take a group photo with Kobe.

When the entire Lakers team came to the court and took a photo with Kobe, the fans at the scene seemed to have returned to the time when Kobe and Chen Tian led the team to win the championship in 14.

Since then, Kobe's jersey retirement ceremony is all over.

From this moment on, the legend of the Black Mamba will be circulating in this stadium.

But the back of the Black Mamba can no longer be seen.
