When Lamar said this, Martin's curiosity was aroused: "So, Lamar, what are you nervous about? Or what are you worried about?"

"As I said, the Philadelphia 76ers are a strong team that has never been at a low ebb since AI entered the league, and making the playoffs is a piece of cake for them. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Info They've been doing really well in the last couple of years, and they've made the playoffs at the worst, so I have to be 100 percent focused on such an opponent. ”

"Are you scared, then?" Chauncy had just finished speaking, realizing that something was wrong with his words, and added, "I mean have you ever felt a fear of someone on their team?" ”

"Nope!"

Lamar replied categorically: "They have Wilt Chamberlain, Larry Bird, Michael Jordan, and Elvin Johnson on their team, and I'm not afraid! In that case, I'll want to beat them even more!" Lamar finished speaking, paused a little in his hand, and asked Shaq, who was doing free throw practice on the side, "Shaq! Do you feel scared?"

Shaq was stunned for a moment, then laughed, and said disdainfully: "Afraid! How can that kind of boring emotion come to me, I just want to crush the Philadelphia 76ers to pieces now, and their shrimp soldiers and crabs will not affect me at all!"

Lamar smiled, and then asked veteran Grant, "Horace, were you scared when you fought with Rodman on the court? ”

"Afraid of him! If he were standing in front of me right now, I would not hesitate to knock out his teeth, and there is no one in this world who will make me feel fear. Grant was calm, but no one could tell the old guy wasn't telling the truth, and the way he looked across the court from time to time betrayed him (Rodman was playing against Birdman Anderson's defensive skills on the other side of the court), but no one was going to laugh at him.

Then Lamar said to Chauncey, "Look Chauncy! No one here is afraid, we all believe that we are above the Philadelphia 76ers, and it is natural to win them, I know what you are worried about! You think Indiana, who has the same style as us, will lose in the matchup with the Philadelphia 76ers, and we will almost suffer the same ending, but I want to tell you, we are not the same as the Pacers, are we coaches!"

"Of course!" Phil Jackson shrugged with a smile and began to say what he thought: "We're not a team that can only bombard, we are even better than the Spurs in positional battles, and it doesn't take much effort to win against the 76ers!"

"Do you hear that? Chauncey, there's nothing to worry about! You'll know when the game is over the day after tomorrow, the Philadelphia 76ers aren't as strong as you think, we can win, and we have a much bigger chance of winning than they do. If the league allowed players to gamble, I would really like to buy us for 100 million to win. ”

"I see!" Billups nodded and continued his three-point practice.

The Lakers are ready to face off against the Philadelphia 76ers at any time.

The Philadelphia 76ers, on the other hand, have a few days less rest than the Lakers, but their preparation is no worse than that of the Lakers.

Although in the regular season, they lost completely without temper against the Lakers. But they didn't care at all, and they didn't feel like they were inferior to the Lakers, all the Philadelphia 76ers players knew that their team was a playoff team, and only on a bigger stage could they show their full strength, and the Finals were undoubtedly the best stage.

One team is the main attacker, with passion, and the other team is the main defense, calm and sophisticated.

This kind of duel is undoubtedly the best in the eyes of the fans, because blind defense will make fans lose the patience to continue watching, and the same blind attack will also make them aesthetically tired, and only the battle between spear and shield will make them interested.

Of course, people all over the world are satisfied, and there will still be people who are dissatisfied, and that person is David Stern. Originally, according to his idea, this year's Finals should be a collision between the Pacers and the Lakers, two old enemies, and the final result is best that the Pacers successfully snipe the Lakers' defense of the title and win the championship trophy, but the uncompetitive Pacers withered at the last critical moment.

Now it's good to make the two teams that enter the Finals, one is the Philadelphia 76ers that he doesn't appreciate very much, because there is the head coach he hates the most, Larry Brown, and the unruly AI who always causes trouble and damages the image of the league - Allen Iverson.

And the other team, although he admires it very much, but the Lakers have been dominating for too long, and the influence of old Buss has been increasing day by day in recent years, which Stern does not want to see, he does not want to have the influence of the owner of the team under his control more than himself.

But now Stern is no longer satisfied, there is no way, this much-anticipated finals is about to start, both sides are fully prepared, just waiting for the other to make the first move.

Speaking to reporters before the game, Lamar said: "We've been waiting for another year, we won the championship last season, and although this season has stumbled along the way, it doesn't matter, our goal is still the same, which is to win the championship again and successfully defend the title." We all believe we can do it!"

"We can't wait for the game! The Philadelphia 76ers are a good opponent because they just knocked out the Indiana Pacers who made us suffer during the regular season, but I'm confident that we're going to win and prove that we're the best team in the league!

The 2000-2001 season has finally come to an end, and the two strongest teams in the East and West are about to collide on the stage of the Grand Finals, and after seven games or maybe fewer games, the championship will be born.

In the pre-game predictions, the support of the two teams can be said to be evenly divided, and those who support the Lakers believe that the Lakers, who have already created countless miracles, will definitely carry their legend to the end this time.

Those who support the Philadelphia 76ers believe that the Philadelphia 76ers have a magical performance of AI and will definitely help them a lot in the game!

After all, on this highest stage, sometimes strength is not everything, and sometimes luck and experience will largely determine the final direction of the game.

Of course, this kind of prediction is meaningless when the players of the two teams come together, and the result is still known on the court, and if the final championship can be determined by the prediction and approval rating alone, they simply don't have to play, just go to canvass for votes like they did for the president.

Anyway, the final game is about to begin, so leave it all to the debate later!

If Lamar is not mistaken, the Philadelphia 76ers should be eliminated by the Lakers by a score of 4-1 this season, as they have done in history. Although their squad has reached the peak of strength after a season of run-in and the tuning of veteran coach Larry Brown.

The team's core leader, AI, is still one of the best guards in the league, and the only one who can compare with him is the Lakers' Peter Pan Kobe. Compared with Kobe Bryant, who has the body of a standard scoring guard, the AI is much smaller, but in this thin body, there is a heart that never admits defeat and a strong sense of fighting.

The AI doesn't put on a slam dunk that will delight the audience's eyes, but he will roar and celebrate after a score, and he will wave his arms to express his excitement after a victory, and he will always be so energetic. It's easy to find his brilliance in every game, because he belongs to this arena, and as soon as he stands on the field, the focus of the whole court will unconsciously focus on him!

The other core of the same team, the African mountain Mutembo, has a completely different style of play from his boss AI, focusing on practicality. It's rare to see a dazzling array of interior offensive skills in him, and it's just iron, iron, and iron! And, of course, his trademark finger wagging! He's a mountain on the court, forever holding people back from attacking the 76ers' basket.

Everyone knows that the current Philadelphia 76ers team is very strong, stable, sophisticated, mature, almost all the words used for middle-aged people can be put on them, and no one else in their team except AI will never see vitality, because they don't need any vitality! Vitality means immaturity, frizziness, which they can't allow.

Compared to the Philadelphia 76ers, the Lakers are completely at the other extreme, and every player on this team has his own distinct personality and his own unique principles. The last thing they lack is passion, no matter what kind of team they play against, it will not affect their pursuit of offense, and the Lakers not only want to win, but also win beautifully.

If the current Philadelphia 76ers are a top team in the league, then the Lakers can already be called the top of the top, every starter in the team has the strength of an All-Star, and even those guys sitting on the bench can immediately help the team as long as they are put on the court, such players are not available to everyone, so the Lakers' lineup can be called a luxury.

If there's one flaw in this team, it's that the Lakers lack a tough enough defensive player!

Kobe Bryant, the main core player in this role, is not good, his power lies in his threat and containment ability on the outside, and it is really a luxury to use him to defend. Chauncey Billups is also not good, his role is to run and cut without the ball, control the tempo of the game, and occasionally disrupt the opponent's defense with three points. Chris Anderson is not good either, he is not experienced enough. Grant still can't, experience is old enough. As for Shaq, whoever would use him as a defender would probably be sprayed to death by basketball fans all over the world! )
