In the following years, Kobe struggled. Although he set a crazy scoring record, he scored 865,438+0 points against the Raptors in June 2006. However, Kobe has never won the championship, and even the Western Conference finals have become a fantasy.

In the summer of 2007, the Lakers acquired Pau Gasol from the Grizzlies with great generosity, and formed the Big Three with Kobe Bryant and Odom, sharing the world with Celtics such as Pierce, ray allen and Garnett in the east. There is no doubt that the final was played between the two teams. Although Kobe worked hard, he finally lost to the Celtics with a total score of 4-2.

During the 10- 1 1 season, the performance of the Lakers was very different from the last two seasons. In the regular season, they lost inexplicably, won in a mess, and all kinds of trading rumors continued. In the second round of the playoffs, they were even humiliated by the Mavericks. After that, coach Phil Jackson, who brought five championship trophies to the Lakers, announced his retirement, and the future of the Lakers was somewhat gloomy.
