"The Lakers' momentum is unprecedented." In Chicago, in the Bulls' office, Bulls general manager Jerry Kraus and their owner, Jerry Reinsdorf, are having a long conversation.

"BOSS, DON'T WORRY. They are all false, and I believe that the bull I built will eventually defeat all enemies! Klaus's fat face was radiant, and he shook his head confidently and said.

"It's good that you have that confidence. By the way, what about Scotty's injury? ”

"Don't worry about that soft egg, without Scotty, we're still number one in the East!" Klaus had a quick look on my face, as if he was credited with winning first place in the East at the moment.

"Can we really beat the Lakers without Scotty? Looks like they're unstoppable? ”

"Hit it casually! Win as you please! ”

Klaus's self-confidence made the Bulls owner breathe a sigh of relief, and he was worried that the game between the Lakers and the Bulls would be bloody. Since Klaus is so confident, even if he loses, the gap should not be too big.

But before that, the Lakers still have a few teams to deal with, and Houston, Mavericks, and Timberwolves are not fuel-efficient lights!

...

"Able to stop the Lakers! It's just the Chicago Bulls! ”

"Without Pippen's Bulls, it's impossible to stop the Lakers!"

"With Michael, anything is possible!"

"I said, the Lakers don't win handstands and eat!"

Fans are bickering with each other, and the current Lakers fans and Bulls fans are the two largest groups in American basketball. Abusive confrontations between the two fan groups have also emerged.

The fans are arguing, and the basketball commentators certainly won't let go of the topic.

Lakers vs Bulls!

The opponents of last year's finals, the two strongest teams in basketball today, the two most popular teams, and the two teams with a high probability of meeting in the finals this season, all made the media crazy!

...

"Damn! Damn it! The media didn't even mention us! We're the team with the best chance of sniping the Lakers' winning streak. Barkley's eyebrows were almost twisted together, and he was very unhappy with the media's neglect of Houston.

This season's Houston roster is a stronger roster than last season, with a quasi-All-Star-caliber guard on the bench, alien Cassel.

However, their record and performance have declined significantly, and the battle between Olajuwon and O'Neill has been completely destroyed. As a result, Houston gradually faded from the public's view.

It is believed that this team is indeed old!

Veterans don't die, they just fade away. The once ambitious Houston Big Three didn't have the energy to gamble for every win in the regular season, which has led to their poor record this season.

The performance against the strong team also made Houston fans strongly disappointed, can such a team still have a chance to end the Lakers' winning streak?

"We were obviously playing against the Lakers in front of the Bulls, so we looked down on people too much." Samkassel was young and vigorous, and indignant.

Olajuwon and Drexler didn't react much, their expressions were flat. They still have a desire for a championship, but they don't care so much about ending the Lakers' winning streak.

"Hakim, don't you really want to beat the Lakers?" Barkley gritted his teeth and this season Barkley developed three points to act as Houston's number one attacker.

Olajuwon, on the other hand, started paddling.

Barkley averaged 22.5 points, 12.1 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 0.7 steals, 0.2 blocks and 2.2 turnovers per game, which was no worse than when he was in the Suns.

The big dream Olajuwon has seen a significant decline in data, from 23+9 last year to 20+10.

The defensive end has also become a bit lazy.

After all, at the age of 35, Olajuwon does not have the scientific maintenance of later James.

He can only ensure that he can play in key games and playoffs, and the usual games are handed over to Barkley to dominate.

It's almost the same as giving up the position of the team leader! This looks incredible to many Houston players. The young Olajuwon is known to be domineering on the ball.

Barkley was a little angry, he didn't care if he could be the boss.

If you want to be the boss, he won't leave the sun!

What he wants is victory! It's the thigh that can take him to win!

As a result, they turned into thighs?

Barkley angrily hammered the wardrobe with his hand.

Unwilling! Last year's loss to the Lakers was not reconciled.

And in this upcoming game, do you really have to sit back and watch Kobe Bryant win a streak on his head?

"Charles." Olajuwon's deep voice sounded, as if he saw the dissatisfaction of his little brother.

"What?"

"Against the Lakers, I'll do my best." Olajuwon said and left the locker room.

Do your best?

That big dream of omnipotence is coming back?

Buckley's eyes flashed.

If it's a dream of peak condition, plus yourself, why can't you win the Lakers?

...

"That's the end of the Lakers' winning streak!" Barkley faced reporters before the game, domineering leaks.

In his opinion, since Olajuwon said so, then he will definitely show an MVP-level performance. He is also an MVP-level power forward. Two MVP-level players, don't know how to lose!

"The Lakers are on a 20-game winning streak? Well, I didn't pay much attention, I just knew that their winning streak ended here! ”

"They're lost! I said it! ”

The reporters' flashes made Barkley squint his eyes in comfort, enjoy! He just enjoyed the feeling of being in the spotlight after releasing his bold words. That's why he's so fond of big talk.

"It's really lively, it's been a long time since the American professional basketball team has been so lively." Kenny Smith sat on the commentary podium in Houston and looked at the players on the court, sighing.

"yes, Lakers and Bulls, these two teams have made too many waves." Murphy clenched his fists and looked expectantly at the bench in Houston.

"Barkley has already made a bold statement before the game that he will end the Lakers' winning streak at 20! Barkley, who is averaging 1.7 three-pointers per game this season, is qualified to say that. ”

"Barkley's three-pointer may be the key to beating the Lakers."

"We all know that the Lakers' unfit lineup is a small guard plus a center with shooting ability. Hakim can undoubtedly pull up for mid-range shots, but who can hold the ball under Kobe's DOP-caliber defense? ”

"It's changed! Rudy Tomjanovic brings alien Sam Cassel to the starting lineup! Put Mario Eli on the bench! ”

"Then the battle between Sam Kassel and Kobe Bryant will be the winner of this game!"
