On May 24, 1997, the game between the Lakers and Houston came to the third game.

G3, a pivotal battle, Houston is cornered, and the Lakers are just one step away from touching the Finals that they haven't touched for years.

The last time the Lakers made it to the Finals was back when they were Magic, during Jordan's first triple-winning streak.

If the Lakers return to the Finals this time, they will still meet the Bulls, who have overwhelmed the Heat. With a maximum of five games, the Eastern Conference Finals series will come to an end.

This can be said to be a reincarnation, Michael Jordan snatched the throne from the Magic, and Kobe Bryant and O'Neal absolutely can't get around Jordan if they want to ascend the throne.

Of course, the first thing they have to do is to beat the Houston Rockets, who have the Big Three and the strongest starting lineup in the league on paper.

“BEAT LA!!! BEAT LA!!! BEAT LA!!!”

The Lakers players came to the court from the locker room, and the blood red sky and the loud rhythmic shouts of the fans were deafening.

"I'll be a good girl." Xiao Yu shuddered, and the seriousness of the Houston fans was full of anger and hostility.

The Lakers players have no doubt that if they clash with the Rockets again, these fans will rush to the middle of the court and directly assault the Lakers players.

"It's probably the best away atmosphere so far." Big Heart Horry smiled, he was once a part of this red wave, and the picture of him and Olajuwon winning two championships side by side is still vivid.

But the team eventually abandoned him!

They chose Ross Barkley over the long-time partner with Olajuwon.

It's like abandoning Thorpe, abandoning yourself.

Although Horry has a deep love for Houston, he is really unhappy with the team's management.

In this series, Horry is playing with the mentality of proving it to them!

"Yes, this atmosphere has a bit of a flavor." Kobe nodded, his heart was beating, and with the familiar BEAT LA and the familiar venue of Houston, Kobe seemed to recall the grievances and grievances between the previous life and Houston......

At that time, Houston already belonged to Tracy and the Oriental Giants, and at that time, their general manager had been replaced by the sand sculpture Morey.

Thinking of Morey, Kobe Bryant was a little speechless.

Sports and politics can never be linked!

As a person in the sports world, it is simply stupid to interfere in the politics of other countries with a brain-dead brain.

Morey is the standard brain-dead Kawakawa white American, and this type of people make up a very large part of the United States. They don't know anything about the world except the United States, and Americans are so ego most of the time that it's easy to be misled that "it's wrong not to follow the United States"!

And Xiao Hua's performance also made Kobe very dissatisfied.

If it was Stern, what would he do?

Anyway, in this life, Kobe Bryant doesn't plan to give Morey another chance to engage in basketball.

Morey was a video analyst at the Carts in his early days, and in '06 Alexander hired Morey.

It's still a long time, and Kobe Bryant has a hundred ways to make Morey lose his basketball job.

"Kobe, Kobe, what are you thinking?" Horry pushed Kobe Bryant, and it was time to play.

"I want to be a fat man."

"You're not thinking about me, are you?" O'Neill looked innocent.

Kobe Bryant's eyes widened, and he was choked up and speechless for a moment. This fat dead man feels too good about himself!

"Don't make a fuss! Let's come out. ”

...

"As long as Houston wins this home court, then waiting for the Lakers is a 2:4 reversal!" Ralph Thompson wore headphones and he acted as a commentator for the game.

"Uh, really?" Ma Fu was a little speechless, this guy was full of words and ran the train. Even a little communicator like himself doesn't know what to say.

"Of course! Look, Charles' return will make the Lakers collapse! Ralph Thompson looked confident, and listening to his words, there were already fans not far away who were ready to attack the commentary booth with popcorn.

"Alright, alright, Lovell. Stop it. For the sake of his own safety, Ma Fu hurriedly stopped Ralph Thompson's boasting, and now who doesn't know that Ralph Thompson's mouth is crow's mouth to the extreme? Houston fans have put up with him for a long time!

The Lakers' starting lineup for this game remained unchanged, with Horry still taking Campbell's place. Looks like Harris wants to get the offense to the end! ”

"Offense wins the fans! Defend to win the championship! After Charles' return, Tomjanovic quickly switched him to the starting line-up. AC Green's return to the bench will give Houston a huge boost in bench depth, while Hakim also has a player who can rest him. ”

"The director is playing the highlights of G1 and G2, Kobe's magical performance against Hakim, Hakim's dream footsteps through the Lakers' interior, and Shaq's dunk under the basket!"

"The stars on both sides played really well! Let's look forward to the next races! ”

It's game on!

O'Neal beat Olajuwon to the frantic roar of the Houston fans and still won the jump ball.

Kobe Bryant advances with the ball!

Drexler single-handedly defends Kobe.

First ball, hit inside!

Kobe hoisted high, and O'Neal grabbed it comfortably and held the ball firmly in his hand.

Bryant and Horry crossed positions, and Eddie Jones and Bowen went around the bottom corner, swapping positions.

"The Lakers' offense seems to have been adjusted!" Ma Fu's eyes lit up.

“IN-OUT？ ARE THE LAKERS READY TO PLAY IN-OUT TACTICS? It's so funny, this is simply a big knife dancing in front of Guan Gong! Lincoln talks about freedom in front of him! ”

In the first round, the Lakers' tactics were indeed a variant of the IN-OUT system.

The conventional system is centered on the inside, and the outside player creates offensive space for the inside player to make it easier for him to score.

And this IN-OUT of the Lakers is O'Neal as the axis! The Lakers' four perimeter players have unlimited cross-play.

"It's passed!" Ross Barkley was still hesitant to get a grip on O'Neal and he was already on the ball quickly.

Horry catches the ball! In his and Kobe Bryant's runs, most of the defenders' attention was drawn to Kobe.

Dribble for a mid-range hit!

"Huh." The Magic, who was also watching the game in Los Angeles, was a little confused.

Why did the Lakers change their tactical system?

Isn't it fragrant to pick up a double superstar? With no apparent restraint in Houston, why not keep the same play?

You must know that in the playoffs, adjustments are often made by the lagging side, and the leading side, when the tactics have not been cracked, it is very irrational to change the tactics abruptly.

And Tomjanovic on the sidelines suddenly stood up from the bench!

Damn Silver Fox Harris! What tricks is he going to play?
