the other Gardens number twenty-four six six thirteen high school seasons Laura Marion Kobe outcast head coach is a team here Hall of Famer Phil Jackson the Los Angeles Lakers one of the most storied franchises in all of sports led By one of the most dynamic players this game has ever seen in Kobe Bryant, the Lakers returned to the

finals

for the second consecutive year facing an Orlando Magic team. Yes, it is a surprise to many to be here on this stage once again with the charismatic physically imposing 23-string Center in the final stage for the first time in 14 years are the Lakers and the

magic

ready to fight for an NBA championship, They give credit to the viewers of the patch.

Fame Center is a great mentoring job in the White House. Kobe Bryant hits 59% from the line during the regular season, but he shot 70% on that series Cleveland got off to a good start with his second field goal, think about it, he had a chance when Grant Hill went through free agency, it was the first time he was going to be a prominent part of any offense. Brian boo quick blocked by our friend they call him smart Tim Dwight Howard helped the defense certainly got to the glass first and then how he blocked it that's a golden peach he's trying to get back into the crack if two get going with his jump shot has been out of place so far in the playoffs, but he is a great decisive performer who challenges him to shoot, but that is an opportunity the Lakers will give him throughout the series, the song shows how the songs and another fantastic year.

The NBA's third-string teams made big gains in the playoffs, especially in games five of six in the Denver series. A good entry pass would leave the bench with six points. Frank, his best inside shot gets him going, he's our four five and like Mark said, they're picking on Courtney Lee right now for Orlando Lakers will get a standing ovation they'll revive four out of ten from the field again this is just a simple basketball size advantage Ryan in the post over Courtney Lee in help defense Lakers six home runs Michael Jackson Lex's Los Angeles The Lakers hope to have that trophy at the end of this series here.

The first game at Staples Center began last year. They were in the archives against the Celtics and suffered one of the worst losses in Finals history by 39 feet at the new Boston Garden. walking on the floor with green confetti falling on them, the Celtics celebrated a loss so disappointing that they were asked what their toughest point was. We asked Kobe Bryant if they are different this year or if they are a tougher team. A much harder story. Harder mentally. Harder physically. Anywhere you know. In the series we've had with Utah, you sit in Denver, those are three very physical teams, tough teams and you know we had to overcome adversity and in particular what you see in the Denver series and we managed to do it.

Hey, knock down a jumper. I'm Kobe Bryant, so good at making plays, pick and roll, does a good job of keeping the defender face up and then exploding for the jump shot. Stan Van Gundy is upset because his defenders are on the wrong side of the attackers. the Lakers Bryan needs his right on top, he throws it why Hugh saw Kobe Bryant yesterday, he's as serious as we've seen him all season now, well take a look at Kobe Bryant's scouting time, he just has that look and right now he understands his business time short answers without smiles he wants that NBA championship with another pick-and-roll good content my beatriz 1001 for the Lakers Kobe the last six but the Lakers rings right there come from him really discourage Sanctified by that look running Bryant takes it from the turtle referee grabs the rebound his pass deflected he's your best chance at the feeder delay not only but you have to win Fisher it's for three that's good Derek Fisher found the mark early three football Toby Bryan deflected by Nelson Bryan gets it right back by deflecting a tough shot but today I want a shot for Coley Ryan so you should be in timeout right away you make a sound like that you have to go to the bench for something while Brian stops again Kobe Bryant with 16 in the second quarter a little cream shaking, great competition from Beatrice, better offense from Brian, you put this guy in pick and roll to solve that is a difficult coverage, difficult today, the sad news is already Smith, former guards stellar, not like a heart attack today.

Smith died while on a treadmill that he was not working on and also has five assists so far. He kicks it. Gasol jumps wide. Lando has a foul to make here like a

magic

saint for the final shot. Bryant goes inside. until the end in the final seconds Nelson and Elsa fail to shoot at the moment Kobe Bryant with 18 points is with Doris Mike also had six assists along with those 18 points what areas of his defense were you personally looking to exploit? I'm just taking what they give me, you know they want to back off and give me a chance, oh I'm happy to do it.

Mark Jackson talked about drawing good fouls against Dwight Howard, he's been to the free throw line eight times, what did you think? What your team was doing with him, we did a pretty good job, you know he's using foul trouble too, so it's a little bit misleading. We get free throws and continue to have foul trouble, but we have our work cut out for us again. Bobby, thanks Mike, what you talked about. setting the tone from the beginning, trying to get the guys involved in the game and if you talk about the first game, it seems to be aggressive offensively over and over again from the beginning, recognizing mismatches, good job of making it easy for guys to get open shots. and, suddenly, they pass. his foot on the accelerator taking advantage of the smaller magical defenders you talk about degree of difficulty well defended contesting this is a good defense by the people you have done your job good defense simply better often that is why it is the best in the world once again the contest gets underway, talked about I don't even see the defense, the shooter took over in the first half, the numbers, 18 points, six assists, no turnovers, five rebounds, Kobe Bryant, a excellent first couple of quarters, the first two games of these

finals

here in LA, the series does not even send Lando, it is a two, three, two format in the final.

Brian up top, another pretty daring fashion in vinyl, is extremely active in the first half before committing the third foul on him. Brian shot hard, Oscar, he's already 22, he went into the basket and stumbled. above, I'm going to call him in the act of shooting, you have to make the decision to double team him and for someone else to make a play, this is too much one on one space for Courtney Lee to defend Kobe Bryant. We're asking Courtney Lee for this man, the best player in the world, to help be late at some point so someone else wins this game because it's been proven that Bryant, what about Brian?

He's 23 and that was his first free throw attempt. He usually gets to the line quite a bit but another good assist from the whites how he comes off the post is in out basketball they are getting quality look Kobe Bryant 26 for Kobe Bryant opportunity for a three point play good a very good screen by Gasol very good use of Bryant's screen reaches his right hand and you couldn't see the foul where he cut his leg, but that's just a nice basketball from a great player who was talked about so much this week and speaks to how desperate Kobe is Bryant. for another championship he has lost his last two finals to satisfy a magical need to cut the sole a little more another beautiful fit and they are standing in the Staples Center The Lakers will open an 18-point lead it has been a long time fantastic year for Kobe Bryant with the summer winning the gold medal and returning leading the Lakers 265 wins the third best record in franchise history and continues to say in March that nothing less than the championship will mean something, everything else is a huge disappointment and is doing everything, including training. while you talk you communicate being a leader sometimes what you pass is the transportation where you are going now Kobe Bryant is playing with a sense of urgency the shot clock is running out he will be drying on the way to the basket the shot clock expires I have the idea that this guy is trying to make a statement in game 1, mom, there goes that man, the ability to put the ball on the floor and finish at the rim, my God, not only the 29 points, seven assists and five rebounds too, no.

Turku turnovers off the mark shooting numbers continue to plummet for Lando Brian again he's got that look he's got that run of games you know what everyone talks about what if that's fundamentally sound by a great athlete and the magic Does it have a different role? Brian looks up from a shot clock a couple of shot clock photos of who he has to put it on test the package the same way on a foul Kobe Bryant brilliant here in the third quarter on the Lakers up like 22 incredible in the offensive side good defense simply better offense the ability to take the hit create your own shot a beautiful thing Bryant making a winner the man they call the closer not waiting until the fourth quarter to do his damage 60 points in one period 34 to the game and the Lakers up by 23 picked up by Brian Triphala looks to stop them with a hard foul but plays tickle and Bryant will go to the line and we'll have a timeout on display here in the first game my hair ecology just goes into a multiple move back and in good depth and turns with three clutches Bank and one Wow, he looked at me with a pepper and again Brian poured the points and soleus took a free throw now they say that a man can't beat a team I don't agree, a man can beat a team This guy has dominated every offensive possession.

He thinks about returning to any possession in this game. Can you name where it did not participate and where it turned out to be possible? Find a reason why Ariza starts three and a good season this year contributes to Orlando. 59 victories in the season, good passing inside, they recover us from behind, excellent defensive play. Doc Ock takes down Turk Alou on a misdirected trouble ball and throws in his eighth turnover. All other numbers don't matter. Is Brian a style to return to free? Shooting line for Thursday in Orlando, the 496 Lakers lost by 34, but came back and won that series in six games, but this guy is ready to play, he didn't play in a viable sixteen against 3-1 after starting all seven games .

Against Boston he has adapted right now with 40 points, the most he has scored in a Finals game and that would be enough for the Lakers to take the first game of the

2009

finals, a plane operation from Orlando as a half, but you left it open in the In the third house we are going to go out and keep our energy at the end of the season, start a third quarter when they came back into the game and took over the game, so yesterday we wanted to come out with a lot of things, your mind was busy .

You are very brief in your answers, third period, you really got to work, where were you attacking them well? I wanted to make sure we stayed aggressive and it was my responsibility in those moments of the game to stay active during the course of them. Tonight's playoffs just fake points, what did you guys do with Fatherhood? We did a good job with them. They know you'll be ready to start again. What are your thoughts specifically on defense in the afternoon with Cowell, Lamar and Andrew bothering you? Oh, you know, we work very hard. hard on the perimeter, you know, keeping those guys out of rhythm and then when it was down, we did a good job surrounding them giving them different looks.

Bobby, thanks, good luck and getting to Mike.
