During the fierce battle between the Pacers and the Wizards, the most anticipated match-up of the Western Conference first round, Game 5 of the Nuggets vs. Lakers series, Kobe's "double kill" arrived as expected.
Originally, his "double kill" had occurred in Game 4 against the Phoenix Suns, where after two "kills," they had taken a significant 3-1 lead in the series. Just when everyone thought Kobe would pull off a "black seven," the Suns won three straight games, reversing the series with a 4-3 victory and eliminating the Lakers.
At that moment, you simply could not tell which was Lakers' number 8 and which was Magic's number 1.
And this "double kill" also became the final victory of Kobe wearing number 8.
However, this time, after Kobe's "double kill," the Lakers went on to win Game 6, defeating the Nuggets 4-2 in an "upset".
The original Nuggets team was also upset by the sixth-ranked Clippers, who finished third in the Western Conference.
