Chapter 155: G1!

"Schitt, ESPN's 30 experts predicted the winner of the finals, and 21 experts actually chose the Bulls to win."

"Those ESPN experts are Jordan's licking dogs! We're not the Lakers of last year anymore! Can't they see the changes this year? ”

"Kobe Bryant has become a stronger basketball player than Michael, that's an indisputable fact! If it were 28-year-old Michael, maybe he could still break his wrist with Kobe, but now, Michael is old! He wants to serve the old! ”

—————

"The average of 37.5 points per game in the series is already terrifying, and it is not at all up to grade compared to Kobe's 40+10+10 triple-double."

"New kings alternate! In this battle, our Lakers will win! ”

On June 3, 1998, in the Great Western Forum Arena, three hours before the start of the game, Lakers fans were almost full!

That's why Buss chose to build a new arena with more seats and more Lakers tickets! Ticket revenue is still the main revenue of each team rather than TV broadcasts, and since the Lakers can sell tickets so much, of course, they are trying to find ways to provide more tickets!

Of course, if the summer broadcast contract is negotiated. Perhaps, then, these are all trivial...

"Jerry! Can we win the cup this year? Old Bass sat in the box and resisted the urge to go to the locker room several times.

This is the fourth time he has asked Jerry West today, West, a business giant like Old Bass, is actually a fan of the authorities. It's really uncommon for your boss to look like this.

"Trust your players."

Old Bass nodded vigorously, tonight, Los Angeles is destined to sleepless.

...

"Kobe, you're going to wear the number 24 jersey again? I was fined 30,000 US dollars last time! ”

"My good boy, the fines for the finals will be even more terrifying."

"Maybe Stern would be happy to see the 23vs24 show."

"23 to die! 24 Stand! Brothers are reversed! Kill Jordan! Ricky Kobe! Bryant's little fan Stephen Jackson jumped on the bench in the locker room and roared to the sky.

"Sand sculptures! What do you say? The martial saint was instantly dragged down by a group of people and beaten violently.

The Lakers have never recognized the No. 23 Jordan dominating them!

Even after losing to the Bulls last year, the Lakers players only felt sorry for the defeat. Lost to time, defeated to experience.

Another year, we must win! That's what the Lakers players thought after last season.

And now! Here it comes!

The Lakers are in the Finals again.

Anti? It's not the opposite!

It's about beating the bull with dignity! Take the throne of the most brilliant basketball world!

The most difficult year to win the championship! The year with the most strong teams in history! A year of superstar blowouts!

This year, everything will be a foil, and it will be the brightest trophy under the Lakers' throne.

Kobe Bryant chewed gum, wore huge headphones, and the corners of his mouth turned up, looking at the Lakers players who were playing.

I remember the picture before last year's finals, Xiaoyu was trembling even when he spoke, and Eddie Jones was also nervous.

Last year, they didn't play so relaxedly.

Progress, growth.

Kobe Bryant is by no means the only one who has become stronger this year.

O'Neill became a full-fledged large shark.

Eddie Jones has grown from 13+5+4 last year to 17+6+5 All-Star level guard.

Bowen's last series, G3's pivotal steal.

Three points and the organization is becoming more and more robust small fish.

Defensively and physically, it's a notch of Ben.

Everybody's getting stronger!

From the body technique, to the mentality. The Lakers, metamorphosed. Now the Lakers can honestly say that we have a championship temperament! This is why even ESPN's home base of Kehei still voted by 1/3 of the experts to choose the Lakers to win.

You know, the number of votes for the Lakers to win last year was - zero!

All in order to wash away the shame of last year!

Last year's finals, everyone will remember those experiences.

What doesn't kill me will make me stronger!

Now the Lakers are back!

Bulls, are you ready to face the Lakers who are coming back from hell?

...

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen! Here is the National Men's Basketball Major League brought to you by NBC! Finals! Chicago Bulls vs Los Angeles Lakers! "Kenny Smith, Magic Johnson, and Doug Collins all appeared at the commentary stage.

It's the Grand Final!

This is the highest stage in basketball!

This is the center of the world!

"With an hour to go before the game starts, let's start with a recap of the Lakers and Bulls this season."

"First up is Kobe Bryant's 81-point night! That night! Let many fans remember, this can be said to be one of the most classic games in the entire American professional basketball, the game where Chamberlain scored 100 points, there is no video recording, and this game will still be watched by countless fans in the future. ”

Then there are Kobe Bryant's five pairs, which have never been seen before or since. The five-doubles won 34 consecutive wins, which was an important factor for Kobe Bryant to win the MVP at the age of less than 20. This proves that Kobe Bryant is an all-round player, and the MVP is not for the player with the highest score, but the most well-rounded player will definitely win the MVP. ”

"Facing Jordan and Pippen, don't watch the ball to celebrate the lore! I heard that many Bulls players still wake up in their dreams. This kind of self-confidence is unprecedented, even Larry Bird does not dare to make such a move, if he misses, he will fall into the abyss, and he may not even be able to hit the ball. ”

"OK at the All-Star Game to win the AMVP trophy and chase the points like crazy! That scene is still unforgettable. ”

"Ten pennies! Ten steals and a superstar who can blast out 30+ under Jordan Pippen's bag, that game established Kobe Bryant's honor as the best defensive player! ”

"Then it's the playoffs! 24 seconds and 11 minutes! 30 points in a single quarter! Win a game that is impossible to win! ”

"Three points back! Win the scoring title! ”

"OK connection, let O'Neill blow up the other three centers!"

"That's why some people say it's going to be called the year of Kobe, and Kobe's greatness is unquestionable."

...

"And Michael Jordan on the other side is also legendary this season, not to mention that!"

"In Pippen's absence, lead the team to maintain the first place in the East for a long time! An average of 38 points per game in a single month! ”

"He averaged 30.1 points, 5.8 rebounds, 4.4 assists, 1.8 steals, 0.6 blocks and 2.3 turnovers per game this season, adding three-point and forward direction to his arsenal! made his offense more difficult to defend, second only to Kobe Bryant in points per game, and the only player who averaged 30+ per game in the second season. ”

"Lore Magic! Advance to the Grand Finals! The series averaged 37.5 points per game! ”

"Ride Mutombo! Torture the giants who averaged 3.8 blocks per game! ”

"Burst Penny + Dumas + Mahon! No one can defend against it! ”

"Michael's state! It's on the rise! ”
