Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Way to Defeat the Devil

After the Lakers defeated the Bucks and won an epic 34 wins, the whole team up and down breathed a sigh of relief.

From October 31 to January 7, more than two months. Every player of the Lakers can be described as walking on thin ice. Now, they have finally won the honor that belongs to them.

34 wins, which means that this team is enough to go down in history and be voted one of the strongest teams in history. And every player on the team, even the water cooler manager, will have a very high historical status!

Can the water cooler manager of the all-time No. 1 team be called an administrator? That's called the Water Dispenser God of War!

In the next game, Harris chose to rest all the starters.

This decision still surprised many people. The Lakers are in great form, with no injuries this season except for O'Neal and Mullin. Kobe Bryant is in good form, and he can't be solved. Continuing to play and pushing the winning streak to more is something that many people want to see.

But Harris chose to retreat from the rapids.

With 34 consecutive wins, the players have almost reached their limits mentally and physically.

Keep fighting, it's not that you can't win, it's just that it's not necessary.

When the wave of injuries breaks out and affects the regular season and even the playoffs in the second half, it is really a small loss.

The Lakers' biggest goal this season is always to win the championship!

After completing 34 wins, all of Silver Fox Harris's scheduling revolves around this goal.

The current Harris still doesn't dare to go too far with the rotation, allowing the starters to symbolically play for half a quarter before going off the break.

But instead of a second team player, a third team was replaced.

The players understood what the coach meant.

You can't lose too badly, but you have to lose.

...

On January 9, 1998, the Lakers lost 78-92 to the bottom of the league to the bottom of the league.

Everyone understands that the Lakers lost on purpose, but there are still some who are triumphant.

"We ended the Lakers' 34-game winning streak! This is a very great achievement. Elgin Belle spoke eloquently.

"The season isn't over yet, our team, our players still have a chance to make the playoffs."

Twitter expressed severe condemnation of Belle's gesture!

@弗拉斯卑: Cut! It's not that the Lakers lost on purpose, and it's really unpleasant to be ended by such a team.

@ε€ͺι˜³δΉ‹ηŽ‹: The Lakers have to lose, and the league will finale if they don't lose again!

@ι£žζœΊδΈŠηš„εη‚ΉεŠ: Pippen is back, and it's still hard to get the finale. The story of last year's finals will not be repeated.

@ζ΄›εŸŽι£ŽδΊ‘: No, it won't. Take a look at the changes between last year's Kobe and this year's Kobe! Kobe Bryant has surpassed the god of basketball! I'd like to call it the strongest!

...

Pippen's return from injury has made people look forward to the Bulls dynasty again!

The first game of the comeback was the Bulls vs. the Pacers.

Reggie Miller and Jordan, the two old enemies, ushered in a showdown again.

This season's Pacers have been turned upside down under Larry Bird, with Larry Brown's defensive system inherited and the Pacers' offensive system being shaped.

They are currently 22-14 and sit fourth in the East.

It's not far from the Bulls' 25-11 record.

This season's Eastern Conference is in such a state of competition. The Magic are also in the first place in the East, and it's hard to say what the final situation will be.

Pippen's comeback gave the bulls, who slipped to second place in the East, a shot in the arm.

Bull 113: 105 Pacers.

Jordan seems to be competing with Kobe Bryant, scoring a violent triple-double of 53 points, 11 rebounds and 12 assists!

Pippen has just returned to good shape, scoring 27 points, 7 rebounds, 9 assists, 4 steals and 2 blocks.

Reggie Miller made 8 three-pointers in a single game, scored 11 points in a row in the final quarter under Jordan's defense, and 31 points and 5 rebounds in the game still to no avail.

It's not that the Pacers are weak, it's the Bulls after Pippen's return that have become the invincible team again!

The aura is different!

With the return of Pippen, stimulated by the Lakers, the Bulls' players seem to have regained the fighting spirit to fight for the championship!

Invincible Red Bull! It's back!

Then the Bulls fought the Magic again.

Focus battles for the first and second in the East.

It's very popular!

The entire Lakers watched the game in its entirety.

These two teams may be the final opponents of the Lakers this season!

"Dennis, how did you defend Webb to this extent?"

"Confrontation! Endless confrontation! The Bulls still have more experience, and Webber obviously has no experience playing at this level of confrontation! He was defended to death by Rodman! ”

"Pippen single-handedly guarded pennies!"

"With Pippen's help, Jordan can put his full strength on the offensive end!"

"Pippen, who has returned from injury, has been very strong! It looks as if he's back to the factory and rebuilt! Instead of being cured from a long illness! ”

"There are rumors that Pippen is not injured at all, and it seems that it is not groundless!"

"If I were Pippen and I was paid so little a week, I wouldn't want to play!"

"Michael incarnates a scoring machine! Unsolvable step-back jumper! ”

"It's back! That invincible bull is back! ”

The game ended, and the Bulls 98:66 Magic.

Bloodbath!

32 points of bloodbath in the first place in the East!

Jordan shot 16-of-23 and scored 43 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists!

The god of basketball who focuses on offense! It's that strong!

In addition to Penny, Hardaway scored 21 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists. The other Magic players seemed to be stunned!

Webb finished with just 15 points and seven rebounds on 6-of-23 shooting.

"Race, start now!" The meaning of Rodman's words is heard by everyone!

Lakers! Don't think you've won!

The contest starts now!

...

"Damn! Damn it! Damn it! "Webb angrily pounded the locker!

The locker squeaked, as if to say what are you doing when you lose and hit me!

Losing to the Lakers Webber is acceptable, he played dominance in that game, but such a humiliating defeat to the Bulls, being humiliated by a 36-year-old guy like Rodman, Webber can't bear it!

"I'm going to get stronger! I must get stronger! ”

Looking at the angry Webb, Penny didn't know what to do for a while.

Losing to the Bulls, although pennies weren't happy.

But in the end... You get used to losing and losing.

"You want to be stronger?" An evil smile like a devil appeared next to Webb.

"Coachβ€”" Webber looked at Chuck Daly blankly, he didn't expect the kind Chuck Daly to smile like that.

"You want to beat Rodman?"

"Of course!"

"Next, then, I will teach you how to defeat the devil."

"There is only one way to defeat the devil, and that is to become a devil who is more ferocious than the devil!"

"Are you coming?" Chuck Daley smiled sinisterly.

"Of course!" Webb is willing to do everything! As long as you can defeat Rodman!

"What about you?" Chuck Daley looked at the penny.

Penny shuddered, and he had a bad premonition.

"Then I'll do it too."

"You see, offense alone can't beat the Lakers and Bulls."

"Next, I'll inject the iron-blooded soul of the piston into this magic spell!"

"When you have a Pistons-level defense, plus your current offense."

"The next dynasty belongs to you!"
