In the 07-08 season, Kobe Bryant, who won the regular season MVP, returned home in the finals and lost to the Celtic "Big Three", who originally welcomed Gasol, wanted to do a big game in 2008, but reality poured him a basin of cold water. However, the "black mamba" who did not accept defeat did not choose to complain and force the palace management to strengthen, and a defeat was not enough to break Kobe's perverted desire to win. In the next two years, Bryant relied on the original lineup, won two championship rings in a row, recreated the glory of the Purple and Gold Dynasty, and left many memorable moments, capturing the hearts of countless fans. 7 years have passed, Kobe Bryant finally completed his own curtain tour last season, and the players who played with Kobe Bryant in that year were also very different, some people disappeared after winning the championship, some people retired as coaches, some people still played their residual heat in the league, and even some people gave up on themselves and almost died. Next, we will take stock of the Lakers' two crowns in those years.
Kobe Bryant (retired in 2016)
Bryant's moments
Kobe Bryant in 2009 is simply incomprehensible, the loss in 2008 deeply stimulated his desire to win, although in the regular season MVP selection unfortunately lost to James, but in the playoffs Kobe Bryant killed four parties, the Western Conference semifinals and rockets seven games, the Western Conference Finals in anThony's Nuggets cut down. In the Finals, Kobe Bryant's performance was simply against the sky, averaging 32.4 points, 5.6 rebounds, 7.4 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.4 blocks per game, winning the championship at the same time, without suspense, he won the first MVP of his career. 09-10 season Kobe Bryant continued to march towards his two consecutive championships, the regular season many times killed opponents to make fans addicted, the Playoffs in the Playoffs is unstoppable, three consecutive years into the Finals, and the Celtics "Big Three" met again, the enemy met, extra red, the Lakers and Celtics This pair of old enemies carried out an epic seven-game showdown, and finally Kobe Bryant laughed to the end, and won the championship mvp, it is under the leadership of Kobe Bryant that the Lakers re-embarked on the peak, Once again created the glory of this giant team. For the next two seasons, Bryant, who was intent on winning another championship to surpass Jordan, lost in the playoffs for two consecutive years. In the summer of 2012, the addition of Nash and Howard allowed the Lakers to form a terrifying "f4" combination, but injuries once again hindered the team's progress. For the next two years, Bryant was reimbursed for consecutive seasons and drifted away from the championship. In 2016, Kobe Bryant, who had already announced his retirement plan on April 14, scored 60 points on 22-of-50 shooting in his closing performance, bringing his legendary career to a successful end. After retiring, Kobe Bryant, who runs his own company, rarely asks about basketball anymore.
Paul Gasol (currently playing for the San Antonio Spurs)
Gasol, the older he gets, the more demon he gets
During the two consecutive championships, Gasol is the Lakers' well-deserved second boss, an absolute meritorious player, often cutting the "20 + 10" double-double data, as well as a good pass, and willing to pay silently behind Kobe Bryant' back, sharing a lot of offensive and defensive pressure for Kobe, the two also formed a deep friendship, and supported the team boss with their excellent performance in Kobe's later arduous championship journey. In the summer of 2014, Gasol came to the Bulls, where he spent the second spring of his career in Gasol, Chicago, breaking team records and league records several times, and was selected to the second team for 15 years. In 2016, Gasol joined the Spurs, and the 37-year-old veteran can still contribute 12.1 points, 7.8 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.1 blocks, and the Spanish legend who never grows old is still making history on the NBA field, and he is destined to be one of the greatest international players in NBA history.
Andrew Bynum (retired)
Once the "little shark" Bynum
The Lakers Bynum, a big man, has placed high hopes on it and cultivated it vigorously, and it turns out that the Lakers' efforts are completely worth it. During his two-game winning streak, Bynum was the team's starting centre-forward. In the 08-09 season, Bynum had 42 points and 15 rebounds on 17-of-24 shooting against the Clippers, and although the knee injury somewhat limited Bynum's play, he was still an integral part of the Lakers championship puzzle. After winning two consecutive championships, Bynum occasionally had flashpoints, tossed around many teams but could not return to the peak, in the process of convalescence from knee injury, Bynum was obsessed with killing Matt's hairstyle and neglected training, and the frequent brain short circuit also limited his development, and finally a young star full of talent fell like this, which is a pity.
Derek Fisher (retired)
"Old fish" Fisher
As an outstanding player of the "golden generation" of 96, Fisher, who entered the NBA with Kobe Bryant, is Kobe's trusted comrade-in-arms, and the "old fish" with a big heart has repeatedly stepped forward as the savior in the team's critical moments. In Game 4 of the 2009 Finals, it was thanks to Fisher's two deadly three-pointers that the Lakers were able to take the victory away from home. In the third game of the 10-year finals, it was Fisher who scored consecutive points in the fourth quarter to save a valuable victory before the seven-game battle. Fisher doesn't score much, but when he scores, it's often a fatal blow, which is an important reason why he can sit on the starting point guard of the Lakers. In 2012, Fisher, who came to Oklahoma, assisted the Thunder in a historic finals, but unfortunately failed to win the cup. In 2014, after retiring, Fisher took charge of the coaching whip and became the manager of the New York Knicks, but the poor team performance still made him dismissed, and now the "old fish" is idle at home.
Lamar Odom (retired)
Lamar Odom
At that time, the Lakers' best sixth man, Odom, was able to go inside and out, performed steadily, and during the time when Bynum was injured, he entered the starting lineup to ensure the thickness of the team's interior line. In the 08-10 season, Odom averaged nearly two double-doubles per game and was an important rotation player for the Lakers. In the second season of winning two consecutive championships, Odom was named the league's best sixth man, but unfortunately the Lakers did not go further. Since then, although Odom has been in many teams, he has never been able to return to the peak, and the breakdown of his relationship with Kardashian has made him abandon himself, and in October 2015, the disheartened Odom has been partying with a number of women in a brothel in Nevada for many consecutive days, and his life is in danger, his organs are exhausted, and he can only rely on a ventilator to maintain his life. After the continuous rescue of the medical staff, he was pulled back from the ghost door before the door was closed, and a generation of famous generals mixed up to such a point that it was lamentable.
Trevo Ariza (currently playing for the Houston Rockets)
Ariza
In the 08-09 season, Ariza was a newcomer to the team, but his contribution to the team was also indelible, as an important rotation player of the team, Ariza was defensively active and had a precise three-pointer, often steals and three-pointers in key moments to ensure the team's victory. In 2009, Ariza joined the Rockets, where he scored his first career triple-double. In 2014, after tossing between the Hornets and wizards, Ariza returned to Houston, and his excellent performance once again conquered the fans, and now Ariza has become Harden's right hand man, assisting Harden in the new season to launch an attack on the championship.
Ron Artest (currently playing for the Los Angeles Lakers)
Ci Shiping
Artest only came to the Lakers in 2009, and the deepest impression he left on fans was his fiery temper and tough defense. Remember the 2008 Western Conference semifinals Atai and Kobe Bryant mutually intimidated each other, but only a year later, the two became good brothers who fought side by side, and his love-hate personality also made him gain many fans, and even he auctioned and donated the only championship ring he won in 10 years, and changed his name to Ci Shiping, which shows his love. In the year that the Lakers won the championship, Ci Shiping performed bravely, has been the team's starting small forward, and hit key balls many times, making great contributions to the Lakers' 10-year championship. Although the Lakers performed average in the following seasons, Ci Shiping has always played for the Lakers, and during this period, he also came to the CBA to "shop" around.
Luke Wharton (currently head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers)
Luke Wharton
Although Luke Wharton has been a substitute for the team for a long time and does not score many points, he has a very high ball quotient, always keeps calm on the field, and has extraordinary insight. In 2013, Walton Jr. retired from the Cavaliers, and joined the Warriors coaching staff the following year, the highlight of his coaching career was at the beginning of the 15-16 season, in the absence of head coach Kerr due to injury, he led the team to play the opening 24 consecutive wins, brushed the team history and league records, excellent performance also let him get the favor of the Lakers management, in 2016, Walton officially became the lakers' head coach, leading a group of very talented young people to complete the Lakers' revival road.
Jordan Famar (now a free agent)
Jordan Farmar
Although Famar's defensive ability is average, his shooting is quite accurate, which also allows him to gain a place in the star-studded Lakers and win two championship rings with the team. Since then, Famar has been in a number of teams, and on November 8, 2016, the Kings have been in free agent status since cutting Famar.
Shannon Brown (now a free agent)
Shannon Brown
Once the Lakers' "spring man", Shannon Brown has excellent physical fitness, amazing bounce, although the playing time is not much, but can fully play the role of bench bandit, with the team to win two consecutive championships, Brown began his wandering career, and now Brown is idle at home, no ball to play.
Sasha Vugasic (currently playing for the New York Knicks)
Vujasic
Vnujasic was Kobe Bryant's substitute, and because Kobe played more than 40 minutes, Vujasic didn't play much, but he knew exactly what he was going to do, and his accurate shooting also earned him the trust of head coach Phil Jackson, and the last two key free throws in the 10-year finals with the Celtics' seventh final were completed by Vnujasic. After winning two consecutive championships with the team, Vugasic left the Lakers, and in 2015 Knicks general manager Phil Jackson signed veteran Ujasic, who has averaged 7.7 minutes per game so far this season, scoring 2.2 points and 1.1 rebounds.
Sun Yue (currently playing for Beijing Shougang)
Sun Yue
Sun Yue, as the fifth Chinese player to land in the NBA, although he has been in a state of "playing soy sauce" in the Lakers, he is still lucky to lie with the team. In 2009, the Lakers cut Sun Yue, and Sun Yue, who returned to the CBA, won the CBA championship in 2014 at the age of Beijing, becoming the first player in history to have both the NBA and CBA championship rings.
Josh Powell (currently playing for the Australian League)

D.J. Mbenga (now a free agent)
