"Buckle Camp one, Kobe. As long as you deduct one, you can do whatever you want! On the Lakers' flight to Seattle, O'Neal kept harassing Kobe.

O'Neill has always felt that the last time he was injured was because of Kemp, although there is no evidence. But the childish O'Neill was still resentful of it. If it hadn't been for that fall, the MVP of the season would have been in his pocket.

Kobe Bryant looked up to the sky and sighed, you 300-pound fat man, you can be no matter what, you are not attractive at all.

Wrong.

There seems to be another task, and O'Neill is coming.

Bryant's eyes lit up.

"Deal."

O'Neal looked at Kobe Bryant, who was in high spirits, and suddenly shivered, a little shuddering, and he said a little casually. There is a bad feeling that Kobe Bryant will do something to himself?

O'Neill wiped the sweat from his forehead, quickly closed his mouth, and pretended to be asleep.

After the Lakers' March 27 win over the Grizzlies, they had a three-day break, with Harris only scheduled for half a day of practice, and the rest of the time was left to the players to recover. At this point in the season, the players are getting more out of self-adjustment than they are from training hard.

Immediately after that, the Lakers flew to Seattle to prepare for the fourth showdown with the Seattle SuperSonics.

Although the current record of the Seattle SuperSonics is not as good as last season's Smash I, which crushed a number of superstars to top the Western Conference, they are also a team that should definitely not be underestimated at the level of championship contenders.

The Seattle SuperSonics are currently 50-22 and fourth in the West. Compared to the Lakers' 63-8, they missed 60 wins this season, and there is no chance to surpass Houston or the Jazz, and the Portland Trail Blazers, who are fifth in the West, are currently 46-25 and will have a hard time catching up with the SuperSonics. This has allowed them to adjust to preparing for the playoffs.

The Seattle SuperSonics have not been desperate to win in recent games, which has allowed their players to keep their fitness very good.

The first place in the West is the Lakers, which is a matter of settlers, and the Seattle SuperSonics to win the fourth place in the West is almost a sure thing. Then as long as the two teams make it to the second round, then they will inevitably face off in the playoffs!

George Karl is still more willing to face the Lakers than against the old Houston Big Three, or the black and white of Utah. The Lakers are younger, and with the exception of O'Neal, they have almost no playoff experience. Such a young team is the most prone to mistakes and being targeted to death.

The Lakers' current record seems scary, but it can't intimidate George Karl. George Carr has been leading the SuperSonics in preparation for the Lakers for almost a month.

The main targets of the SuperSonics are the Trail Blazers and the Lakers, and George Carr believes that it is not difficult to defeat the Portland Trail Blazers, so the team's most important opponent this season is the Lakers! In the last game with the Lakers, George Karl's targeting of Kobe Bryant and the overall suppression of the Lakers were very well done.

"What you have to do is copy the tactics of the last game! Go kill Kobe, take out the Lakers! ”

"Got it! Instructor! "The morale of the SuperSonics players is also very high.

George Carr smiled slightly, the right time and place are all in my hands! Harris, what are you going to do with me?

...

On April 1, 1997, the regular season entered its final stage, and the game between the Lakers and the SuperSonics captured the attention of almost the entire league. This game is a preview of the second round of the playoffs in the West, and the outcome of this game will not have an impact on the ranking of the West, but will affect whether the Lakers can finally cut down 70 wins.

You must know that Michael Jordan has already put 70 wins on his lips, and if the Lakers want to compete for the first place in the league, winning 70 wins is an essential condition, and the SuperSonics will certainly not let the Lakers easily win this game.

The Bulls' players were watching the game, and they raised their hands in support of the SuperSonics win. The difference between the Lakers and the Bulls has been intertwined, no matter how well they perform, it seems that there is no way to surpass the Lakers, they can only rely on the Lakers' final death schedule, which can bring them the opportunity to surpass the Lakers.

Michael Jordan immediately returned to the hotel after slashing 50+ victories over the Celtics, turned on the TV, and silently began to follow the game. Of course, his teammates will not be ignorant of lifting, and they will run out to fight at this time. Of course, the Bulls players are also afraid to mess around in the streets and alleys of Boston, and if Boston, an xenophobic city, sees the Bulls players celebrating in a nightclub after the win, then there is a high chance of violent conflicts!

"It's been the first time in many years that I've seen Michael pay such attention to a confrontation in the West." Scottie Pippen secretly said in his heart that Jordan has always been an existence with eyes above the sky, and he may still have awe for the Eastern team, but for the Western team, only the Lakers during the SHOWTIME dynasty could let him run back to the hotel to watch the game after the game.

"Good, the game hasn't started yet." Jordan lit a cigar and slumped on the couch, surrounded by the Bulls' players, who waited quietly for them to play.

"The Lakers players and the SuperSonics players play in turn! O'Neill appeared on the sidelines, not as a secret weapon as rumored, and Shaq sat aside in a baggy western. The commentators of this game were Thompson Sr. and Mafu, and the two began to analyze the recent situation and strength comparison of the two teams.

"As much as I'd love to see the Lakers win this game, it doesn't seem likely." Thompson sighed when he finished his analysis. The Lakers have been in terrible form lately, while the SuperSonics are on their toes.

Kobe was restrained by Payton again, Payton should be one of the few in the league that can defend Kobe Bryant, even if he can't strangle Kobe, it makes Kobe's offense very difficult, at least so far no one thinks that Kobe can play a hero ball in front of Payton, and one person decides the victory of a game.

"Payton walked in front of Kobe! He's provoking Kobe! Kobe raised his chin and looked at Payton coldly without saying a word! ”

Bowen stepped forward as if to give Peyton a good look! Immediately stopped by the supersonic player! ”

"The game hasn't started yet, but the smell of Mars has already been delivered! The players on both sides stood in a circle on the Lakers bench, and it seemed that they were going to fight! ”

And the Bulls' players couldn't help but be a little amused when they watched this scene.

"This game, the collision of Kobe and Payton, will be interesting." Jordan passed the smoke of the cigar in his mouth and exhaled slowly.
