"Shaq! Bryant! See? That guy Karl Malone has been defeated by us! You're next! Barkley lifted his chin haughtily, his thumbs pointing downward, and his eyebrows furrowed menacingly.

"Hakim was able to sweep Shaq and Penny the year before, and we can sweep Shaq and Kobe Bryant this year!"

Barkley, who was a little shy and kind when he met the Lakers during the regular season, is now like a different person!

During the regular season, he had just integrated into Houston, and he had not yet figured out Olajuwon's character, so he was embarrassed to be too arrogant. And now he fully understands that as long as he can win, no matter what he does, what kind of limelight he is, Olajuwon can tolerate him.

Fliggy Barkley immediately reverted to his usual jump as soon as he understood this.

Even in the last round of the series, when he was blown up to scum by Karl Malone, he still appeared arrogantly on the TV screen, talking crazy big words.

Bryant knew that this was Barkley's style, and he just liked to disturb the mentality of opposing players through such language. This trick is used by many players in the American professional basketball team, such as Green, who is a later generation, and is an expert in this psychological warfare.

Especially now Barkley is no longer the absolute core of the team, and he has tasted the sweetness of exchanging one with the other party with this trick.

After the last round of the series was Karl Malone and Barkley back-to-back takedowns, Malone's mentality was a little unbalanced, and he began to desperately want to beat Barkley to prove himself. Although he succeeded, Barkley was hit to six in both games, and there were few good performances in the rest of the game. But in the end, Karl Malone consumed too much energy on Barkley, who sat on the bench and won the series.

This makes Barkley want to do it again, and as long as he can trade it for Kobe or O'Neal, then Olajuwon is left. And one-on-one, Barkley is absolutely convinced of the current team's big dream, even Jordan, Barkley also thinks that the big dream will not necessarily lose. Facing Kobe Bryant and O'Neal, Barkley has more confidence in Olajuwon.

"It's too arrogant." Xiao Yu looked at Barkley's performance with indignation.

Obviously, our Lakers have already reached the Western Conference Finals, and you have to grab seven to get through the danger, and you yourself have been hit by the opposition explosion, why do you dare to be arrogant and arrogant?

Kobe pursed his lips and curled his eyebrows in disdain.

Barkley really doesn't have the confidence of a superstar anymore.

This kind of provocation is generally done by the team's thugs, such as Green, such as Artest.

They will provoke the opposing star and make their core players more comfortable. Kobe Bryant is really the first time to see a superstar, and he is shameless, and he still jumps out to provoke when he is beaten like this.

"Guys, don't fall for him. Now we're focused on the pitch and against Houston, so we've got to stick to our tactics. Don't get bogged down in a heads-up with them, especially Barkley, who will definitely try to provoke Kobe and Shaq on the court. Hold back! "Kirtlambis has already seen what will happen in the future game, and he can't imagine the scene of Barkley and Kobe, who will break his small body.

"Are we just going to let them do it?" O'Neill wasn't happy anymore.

"The referee won't let them do it, of course, if they do it. Absolutely don't be cowardly! Campbell replied.

"Boss, if something goes wrong, come to me. I'll make that Barkley guy look good. Big Ben patted his chest with a fierce expression.

The other Lakers players smiled, and although Big Ben had a fierce face, he was still just a rookie. One rookie protects another rookie, I'm afraid it will be handled by Barkley 1v2 together.

Only Kobe and Bowen know that what Big Ben said is true, and how terrifying the angry Big Ben is, people who have not seen it can't understand it. Perhaps only next year's undrafted martial arts saint can be compared.

Moreover, with Kobe Bryant, will the martial saint still lose the election?

"Don't get your mind to those factors, you know how much the league is watching this round. Focusing on basketball itself is the way to go. Lambis watched the topic get farther and farther away, and it was already about to become how to break the naked choke with one hand, and quickly stopped the topic.

...

"Hakim, these Lakers kids must be scared of me! Wait and see, I'll get one, you and Clyde will get the other, and the Lakers won't be our opponent at all. Ross Barkley was elated and found Olajuwon in the final team training.

Olajuwon was noncommittal, and he didn't mind Barkley playing some off-the-board tricks for the sake of victory. He doesn't even mind being Barkley's foil, he's very different from that big dream of his youth. At that time, Da Meng didn't believe in his teammates at all, and he didn't even have an assist in a game, which was a cancer of the century.

When Olajuwon realized that he couldn't win games by playing like this, he began to develop his teammates, and Houston gradually became the quasi-dynastic team that won the championship twice.

Now Olajuwon no longer has the grandeur of his youth, all he wants is the O'Brien Cup!

There are too many legendary centers in the history of American professional basketball, and even Olajuwon, who has won two consecutive championships, is worried that his historical status will not be in the top five.

It's not impossible, Russell, Chamberlain, Abdul-Jabbar are firmly in the top three! The historical status of the three can be said to be equal, and the remaining super center forwards have a large number of honors that are not inferior to Olajuwon.

Olajuwon's goal is to at least be tied with the previous centre-forwards, even if he doesn't become the all-time No. 1 centre-forward.

Then he is bound to win one or even two more championships!

Last year would have been the best chance, and if he could win three consecutive titles, then Olajuwon's achievements would be no less than anyone's. The achievement of creating a dynasty alone has propelled Jordan to become the all-time leading scoring guard, and if it doesn't make Olajuwon the all-time number one center, it will at least allow him to leave behind the likes of Moses Malone, Bill Walton, Parish, and Reed.

However, the team is aging too quickly, and there are few champions who can play last year. Olajuwon didn't even make it to the finals before falling to the supersonics.

And this year, the team's lineup is the strongest in Olajuwon's career!

Three superstars! Plus top role players like Jim Jackson, Mario Aley, AC Green!

If this lineup meets last year's supersonics, Olajuwon is confident that they will sweep them!

And now, it's time to meet the Lakers, who the team was ready for in the middle of the season.

Drexler + Jim Jackson + Mario Aley block Kobe!

Himself and AC Green take turns defending O'Neal!

Barkley can't find a counterpart player with the Lakers! He can almost be said to be incomprehensible!

Olajuwon looked at the strong Rockets and was full of confidence.

Although he doesn't like Barkley's arrogant appearance very much, he can win, even if Barkley is too much Olajuwon, he can bear it!

Barkley has a sentence that Olajuwon still agrees with.

Lakers, you're next.
