Chapter 166: The Fall of the Gods

Kobe and O'Neal sat together in the locker room, holding ice cubes on their knees and soaking in ice water on the soles of their feet.

Until now, O'Neill still can't believe it!

They won!

Defeated the king of the bulls, defeated the god of basketball!

What a great one they just reaped! What a hard victory!

The twists and turns of this game can be called the first in O'Neal's career!

And they got together to complete this incredible game!

Hit crazy!

From coach to player! Everybody's crazy!

And in the end, the Lakers won the first victory of what can be called the strongest battle in basketball history!

"Kobe, Shaq! Come on! I'm waiting for you. ”

At the press conference after the game, reporters from all over the world seemed to smell a fishy cat!

Crazy!

Flash, microphone, voice recorder!

They want to convey the words of the brightest stars in this starry race to the world as soon as possible!

Maybe it's the desert Africa of sports, maybe it's the fiery Samba South America, maybe it's the mysterious Asian transgression, maybe it's the cold Eastern European dynasty.

At this moment, the world's attention is here.

...

"Crazy, this group of people is really crazy." Old Bass and West stood in the corner, looking at the press room crowded with reporters, with some emotion.

"It wasn't that crazy last year."

"yes, after last year, who can really believe that the Lakers can beat the undefeated Bulls? And this year, when the Lakers won the Bulls in the first game, the meaning of the implications, these reporters are clear. ”

"The gods have fallen, the old king has ended, and the new king has ascended the throne! Michael Jordan has been in the throne for too long. For a long time, there are countless people who dislike him, and there are forces hostile to him, these guys will not stand up when Michael is in infinite glory, once they are like now, they will trample on the former king like crazy! ”

"There are a lot of Bulls fans, but there are even more people who dislike Michael! Now, they're all jumping out. ”

Bryant and Shaq answered questions for ten minutes and immediately left the arena under the heavy protection of Blackwater.

"Shaq, you know what? This is just the beginning. Bryant's pupils reflected the jumping neon lights of Los Angeles.

"Three more races! Michael, those old guys from the Bulls aren't going to throw in the towel so easily. ”

"But victory will always be ours! I'm convinced! ”

"I'm just as convinced!" O'Neill handed out Pushanda's palm, and OK clasped his hands tightly together.

...

"We also lost G1 last year."

Conference room at the Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles.

Phil Jackson sat cross-legged at the round table in the center, and the Bulls' players, even a thorn like Rodman, sat upright, not daring to make the slightest overstatement.

"We're probably luckier this year, we lost just one away game, it's not a big deal."

The Zen master spoke eloquently, so that the tense nerves of the Bull players slowly relaxed.

Oh, yes!

Losing G1 is not the end of the world.

We lost G1 last year, still at home, and we were able to pull the series back then, so why not this year?

"Guys, there's been a lot going on this year." Waiting for the Zen master to finish talking about the chicken soup, Jordan's eyes full of kingly spirit swept over his teammates.

"A lot of people are having a hard time, including the coach, including me, including Scottie."

"As the coach said, our team has reached the last dance, no matter whether we win the championship this year or not, most of the people, including the coach including me, may not be in this team where we have created countless successes."

"Was it humbly defeated by the Lakers, let those guys, trample on our glory, and let the pride of this team become their trophies?"

"No one will know in the future why we disbanded! They will only say! The Lakers disbanded the Bulls! Kobe Bryant took off Michael's crown! Michael was beaten to a different team! ”

"And you will also become a failed role player, the Lakers' role player will go to other teams to get a big contract, and you can only choose to retire, or get a base salary!"

"It's the last dance and the comeback like last year! Or become garbage! Trampled by the Lakers! The decision is in the hands of each and every one of us. ”

"Brothers, let's be together! Get the next win! ”

"Good!"

"That's right!"

"Michael, that's right! We should leave this team with dignity and glory, instead of being disbanded by the Lakers! ”

"If we could win last year, we can win this year too!"

...

"Damn, Kobe Bryant is already about to win the O'Brien Cup, but I can only lie at home and watch G2 with you." Grant Hill had a bitter face.

"Fake, it seems that watching G2 with me is very wronged by you?" Penny laughed.

After the first game in Los Angeles, Penny came to Detroit.

What does Penny want to do?

Hill certainly knows.

This summer will be the most turbulent summer for professional basketball.

Superstars with more than five fingers will change teams or usher in contract extensions this summer.

Hill's contract hasn't expired yet, but the Pistons have thoroughly opted for a rebuild.

Can the rookies selected this summer, plus themselves, really make a difference?

Thinking of the pennies who have reached the Eastern Conference Finals this year, and Kobe Bryant, who is fighting against the basketball gods in the Finals, Grant Hill can't help but ask himself.
