Chapter 412 They Won't Lose Anymore

```

When the Lakers were eliminated, only a third of the audience remained.

The celebrities from Hollywood had already left. They were not pure fans; if the Lakers couldn't pull off a miracle, it was just a waste of their time to them.

The players from both teams exchanged courtesies.

Kobe looked the most hurt; this was supposed to be the year of the Lakers' revival, yet it ended in utter defeat for him.

The Lakers Team over these years had been like a compelling soap opera. When Kobe was averaging 36 points per game, they were stopped in the first round. Then Kobe couldn't take it any longer and demanded a trade, unless the Lakers strengthened the team around him. Kidd's arrival eased some of the problems, but not all. The trade for Little O seemed to give Kobe the credentials to contend, but ultimately, his injuries and the still insufficiently solid lineup led to their downfall in the Western Conference finals.

Kobe didn't win the MVP, and now he had lost the series.
