On May 4, 1997, the game between the Lakers and the SuperSonics was about to start at the Great Western Forum Arena.

"Ready to recognize, what a real playoff-level confrontation is? Bryant? I'm going to teach those little ponts of the Lakers a lesson, just like I did with the Trail Blazers, the Lakers' journey is over, we SuperSonics were last year's Western Conference champions, we can't fall on a new team! Payton went crazy during the pregame interview, he was a little inflated, and after completing the finish against the Trail Blazers, some sparks of desire were born in Payton's heart.

"I love to make ghost movies and scare children! This round of the series will give you an idea of what real fear is! ”

Payton is going to ruin Kobe Bryant in this round of the playoffs! Ruined Lakers!

Kobe Bryant has taken too many honors from him this season! The second team of the best team, the first team of the best defensive team, these things were obviously Payton's honor last year, and after a season, these things were stolen by Kobe!

Damn Kobe Bryant is a thief!

And the easiest way for Payton to get all his accolades back is to prove himself in this series.

After all, the performance of the regular season is only a reference, and the performance of the gods in the playoffs will be immortalized by the world. For example, this year's Kevin Johnson and Penny are legends enough, and although they didn't win the series, their performances were enough to respond to any doubts about them. If Penny hadn't been too crotch-pulling in the first two games, he would have been blown into the sky and portrayed as a lonely hero at the end of the road.

Hill's playoff performance in this round of the playoffs was not outstanding, and the team ended up losing to the Atlanta Hawks, a team with no traditional stars and the only big bowl was a defensive interior. This is enough to make him punished for a long time, and his treatment as Jordan's successor, and the treatment of the future league façade, as well as the invisible assets such as the super popular king, may lose a lot in this round of playoffs.

And that's what Peyton wants to do! Go and kill Kobe! Crush Kobe's honor and turn it into your own trophies.

Payton knew very well that the SuperSonics team was on a downward spiral, and although their core players and coaches had not changed, Kemp's contract and the team's departure from Germany caused the team's record to decline, and George Carr was unhappy with this. All kinds of factors will make this youth army fall apart in an instant, SuperSonics is a strong team without superstars, and a strong team without superstars has always lacked a continuous stability, they will have great ups and downs in a short period of time due to various factors, last year it was the champion of the West, and this year it has fallen to fourth in the West.

Peyton doesn't want to leave the supersound, and he doesn't want the supersonic to disintegrate. Although his relationship with Camp can only be said to be okay, he can't get used to seeing Camp being distracted for money, and Camp can't get used to him being forced to talk in the media, but as long as he wins, as long as he has continuous wins, then everything can be redeemed.

Winning is the best way to solve the team's problems.

And across Payton is the Lakers, a 70-win team with a historic level.

Even so, Peyton was never afraid.

Too young, this team is too young! Being young means being inexperienced, it means that the playoffs are going to be deflated, and that's a process that every young player goes through. Payton doesn't think these Lakers players are an exception.

"Kobe, let me teach you what the playoffs are."

....

"Kobe, Payton said to teach what the playoffs are, what is a men's sport, what do you think?"

Kobe Bryant grinned, his thin cheeks leaking out his trademark white teeth.

"COME ON, IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY, THE SUPERSONIC AND OUR RECORD ARE 3:1." Eddie Jones interjected directly.

"Eddie is right, I hope Peyton will have some reasonable performance before his next big speech."

Kobe Bryant has been in a good mood recently, easily taking away his opponent in the first round, the box office exploded, and the second round was also playing the relatively weak supersonic speed in the four top giants in the West.

The SuperSonics, although strong, are not a team that can beat the Lakers, and Kobe Bryant seems to have 5 to 6 games enough to finish this series.

"Glove is not convinced that he is the second defensive team and I am the defensive first team? Then let me tell you, if he didn't have Camp by his side, he wouldn't even be in the second team, and he knows better than anyone how many times Camp's presence on the inside has wiped his ass for him. Camp is worth a 100 million yuan contract! Without camp, gloves and hypersonics are nothing! ”

Kobe Bryant looked sincere, and no one could see that this old man in the coat of an 18-year-old boy was playing tricks again.

Tout players whose contracts are expiring! Let Camp swell, change his play, and make him switch from eating pies to singles. Stepping on one and making Payton and Kemp feel separated, these tricks may not be useful for some players with high IQ and high IQ, but do they have any effect on Camp the Rain Man who has been brainbroken by alcohol and drugs?

Kobe Bryant didn't know, but he just tried, and he didn't have to be responsible!

What if it succeeds? Kobe Bryant has not done this kind of thing, and the benefits once he succeeds are terrifying. The two armies are fighting, and the heart is the first!

....

"We're going to strangle two points, and we're the only team in the league that has the ability to strangle Kobe Bryant and O'Neal at the same time. We have Payton to defend Kobe Bryant, and we have Camp to hold up to O'Neal. This is our greatest advantage! George Karl circles the tactical board.

This is actually a bit watery, and there is another team in the league that has just escaped from Phoenix and has this configuration, and that is Houston. But beyond that, no third team can, or dare to defend both Kobe Bryant and O'Neal at the same time.

Two nuclear bomb-level superstars, the threat of either explosion is terrifying.

Only the SuperSonics and Houston have such a single defense of Kobe Bryant and O'Neal at the same time, but it is one thing to have a configuration, and how effective it is another.

"Leave it to me!" Peyton patted his chest.

On the other hand, Rain Man Kemp is out of the world, and he is reminiscing about Kobe's praise of him on the TV just now.

"So I'm so good!"

The praise from his opponents made Camp's heart feel happy.

"That's right! I'm worth a contract of 100 million yuan! This round of the playoffs, I'm going to prove it to everyone! ”

"Sean? Sean? The coach is talking to you! Peyton shook Kemp, who was in a daydream, awakened.

"Oooh! Good coach! I know. ”

George Karl has a black line, this damn stupid big guy. It's not that you want to top O'Neal and apply to trade you away.
