Now, they are getting married.

And this wedding is very different.

Kobe's parents don't like it, and it can even be said that they don't like Vanessa very much.

Vanessa is not an African-American. She gets married too early. She doesn’t like Vanessa’s “character” and thinks that the latter comes for money…

There are countless reasons.

Even the objection was not only his parents, but everyone around Kobe.

His agent advised him to sign a prenuptial agreement, including Jordan and several NBA celebrities, who advised him to be cautious, and even Phil Jackson did not support him.

But at this time, Kobe just felt that he was independent. He wanted to prove himself, challenge O'Neal, challenge his parents, and even challenge the whole world.

He rejected all suggestions, including prenuptial agreements, and married Vanessa after the finals last year.

Even if it weren't for summer training, they would have been married at that time.

Although it was a little late, they got married.

There were only 12 people attending the wedding, except for the bodyguard, the rest were all from the woman's family.

This is a wedding that is not blessed.

But no matter what, the girl who has Latin blood in her eyes, speaks Spanish, and becomes the local "chocolate sweetheart" if she is in Texas, becomes Vanessa Bryant.

When Sun Hao saw this news, he was different from others and couldn't help but like Kobe.

Not only because he opened his eyes, he knew how good Vasani was to Kobe, but also because of this matter, these opposition voices were really shameless.

To put it nicely, it is arrogance and prejudice, but to put it badly, it is just naked racial discrimination?

What is greedy for money? All character is excuse. Isn’t the biggest reason that people are Latino, which will pollute pure African-American black blood?

Of course, Sun Hao would not express it because this topic is very sensitive in the United States.

And just like this incident itself is a small episode before the start of the playoffs, his focus is on the playoffs that will be brought soon.

The league is also in a hurry to announce the ownership of the first batch of season awards before the playoffs begin.

Best Head Coach and Fastest Progress Award.

There is little suspense for the best head coach.

Just like ESPN's prediction before the season, no one expected that the 76ers would be able to top the East this season, let alone almost become the league's number one.

So the award was won by 76ers' head coach Larry Brown without any suspense.

This is also the first time Brown won the NBA best coach honor in his career.

He and Iverson, the master and apprentice have achieved each other this season.

There is no suspense about the fastest progress award.

The Magic's McGrady averaged points per game from 15.4 points last season to 26.8 points this season, almost doubled the average score.

After these two final amusing shows, the curtain of the season's playoffs finally officially kicked off.

There were four games on the first day.

The 76ers in the East faced the Pacers, the Bucks faced the Raptors, the Lakers faced the Timberwolves in the West, and the Kings faced the Jazz.

The Mavericks had no games on the first day.

Old Nelson only arranged daily training this day, and the game against the Trail Blazers was predictably intense, and he didn't want the players to be too nervous.

Sun Hao, Nowitzki and Nash stayed at home to watch the Lakers game at night.

Although you may not be able to meet the Lakers, it is still beneficial to look at the game of the strongest team in the league now.

Just like a certain gun in the future will say: If you don't defeat the Warriors, what's the point?

The Lakers' current position in the league is similar to the Warriors' future in the league, and may even be higher.

The ultimate goal of the Mavericks is naturally to defeat them.

The game started soon, and the Timberwolves... were hit at the beginning.

Dean Garnett and Kevin Garnett, the Timberwolves, are a combination of double Garnett.

However, without defense for three seconds, he could not defend in the area, and O'Neal was invincible on both offense and defense at the inside.

Of course, what's more important is that Kobe is really different from the first half of the season.

Even in the playoffs, his offensive desire is not very strong.

In the first quarter, he scored 8 points and sent 3 assists, which made him feel like a Pennsylvania Magician.

The Lakers led by as much as 15 points in the first quarter.

The Timberwolves performed well in the second and third quarters under Brandon and Garnett, and once narrowed the gap to single digits.

But at the decisive moment, Kobe and O'Neal began to work together, and the game was closed with 11-0.

After the final game, the Lakers beat the Timberwolves.

O'Neal scored 5 assists, Kobe scored 25 points, 3 rebounds, 11 assists and 3 steals.

This data looks a bit inexplicably uneven because Kobe gave 11 assists.

And if you take a closer look at the technical statistics, Kobe has only taken action 11 times in total...

After watching the game, Nowitzki and Nash looked at each other.

They felt the pressure.

This is the playoffs, and the Lakers are playing a little easier.

And the key is that Kobe played so well!

Such a Lakers will be defeated by zero!

Sun Hao also felt a little moved that the nine games Kobe injured this season were so worth it.

When he saw the expressions of Nowitzki and Nash, he reached out and patted the two on the shoulders.

"The Timberwolves are too weak. Haven't we beat them 58 points?"

He didn't want the two of them to have a shadow in their hearts.

Nowitzki and Nash nodded after hearing this.

Yes, it’s not that the Lakers are too strong, it’s that the Timberwolves are too naughty.

In addition to the Lakers and the Timberwolves, the remaining three games on the first day were also completed one after another.

The Kings defeated the Jazz, and the team scored 6 players in double digits, Weber and Stoyakovic both 20+, a typical Princeton-style victory.

The Knicks beat the Raptors at home.

The Raptors' new All-Star Antonio Davis scored a double-double of the board, but the main player Carter felt cold and made only 5 of 22 shots.

McGrady's first playoffs when she was not here, miss him!

The 76ers were beaten by the Pacers at home.

In this game, the main players of both sides fought each other, Reggie Miller scored 17 points for 5 of 21 shots, and Iverson scored 16 points for 7 of 19 shots.

The result was that the center of the two teams was directly benefited. O'Neal Jr. grabbed the 20 career highs, and Uncle Mu also scored 22 rebounds.

...

After the first day of the game, the three tnts had another job.

"Allen Iverson's scoring efficiency has never been high. The Sixers' offense is too dependent on him, and it's hard for them to go far."

Barkley was the old representative as soon as he spoke.

"Kevin Garnett has no power to fight back against the Lakers. Will he never be able to make the first round? Or is he thinking back to the regular season with the Mavericks, and they lost a full 58 points."

58 points are too many, and they are already tied to Garnett.

"I hate Bruce Bowen, but I think Vince still needs to learn how to deal with this. Without T-Ma, he has to carry the team, otherwise he looks like a regular season player."

Although there are only four games, there are plenty of complaints.

"The Kings will be the only team in the league that has the strength to challenge the Lakers. I like their game so much."

Kenny Smith praised the Kings, which looked like the pinnacle of team basketball.

"No, the only one who can challenge the Lakers is the Trail Blazers."

Barkley made his point.

"Charles, they're very sad to pass the Spurs. They probably can't pass the Mavericks. They're just seventh in the West."

Kenny Smith reminded that it would be too difficult for the Trail Blazers to be in front of the Lakers in the regular season as before last year.

"No, how many Mavericks have played in the playoffs? They have no experience in this area, and that's exactly what the Trail Blazers have. We all know that the regular season is just a warm-up, and the playoffs are real play."

"Don't forget that although they are second, first and seventh, they are only 6 wins away."

Barkley then added.
