Los Angeles News press conference, May 14, 1998.

Harris led Bryant and O'Neal together.

The flashing lights began to flash non-stop from the moment the three of them got out of the car, and all the well-known media in the United States were present! Not only the American media, but also a large number of foreign media have also focused on the only four remaining teams!

King Bull! Rushing for their sixth championship, Michael Jordan rushed to the position of the first person in history!

Purple Lakers! 73 wins all-time best record, new MVP and league's No. 1 center, want to overthrow the Bulls' dominance! Complete the Succession of Thrones!

Galactic Battleship Jazz! With three all-time Hall of Famer-level superstars in their prime, they have the best roster in the league on paper! After the run-in, they vowed to win the championship!

Bad Boy Legion 2.0 Magic! The 93 Twins seamlessly intersected and played the best performance of their careers, and under the leadership of Bad Boy Army Meritorious Coach Chuck Daly, they are aiming to beat the Bulls again!

Four legendary teams! Every team has a good chance of winning the championship in other years! Even former champions can hardly be said to be better than these teams!

Four teams! No one has a 100% chance of winning the championship! The gap between them is very small, and any small accident can make a difference between victory and defeat.

It's not just the heyday of Major League Basketball in the United States! It is also the prosperity of the world basketball world!

50 years of professional basketball! There has never been a year in which so many top teams have gathered at the end! Every team is a legend! Any team has more than 2 superstars!

The stars are shining! This is the basketball boom that Stern wants!

Four legendary teams, almost at the same time and in different places, held press conferences!

Crowds!

In May! This is the center of the world!

From the United States to South America, from Europe to Russia, countless Southeast Asian countries, and even Africa, the desert of world culture, there are countless fans paying attention here!

This year! The heyday of professional basketball! Who will win the championship?

Under the control of the media release officials, the press conference finally quieted down.

Then answer the questions one by one.

Harris was asked about the performance of Larry Bird, the best coach of the season.

"Larry is a great player and he's a top coach! Let's see where he took this year's Pacers, who came close to winning the series and reaching the Eastern Conference Finals, which is a game-changer for a team that finished 10th in the East last year. ”

"Del, your tactics have become simpler this season. Some academic coaches say that you are driven by the players and that you are no longer the top coach of last year, what do you think of this assessment? ”

"Tactics aren't necessarily more cumbersome, the more cumbersome means more likely to make mistakes! Since the ball is in the hands of Kobe Bryant and Shaq they can handle it, so why not play it simpler? ”

"Shaq! How do you see the Orlando Magic return to the Eastern Conference Finals without you and take on the Bulls again?"

"Bless them, they have a great season." O'Neill pursed his lips.

"Would you feel embarrassed if they won the series without you?"

"Of course not!" O'Neill was insincere.

"The fans in Orlando have already taken Webb as a replacement for you, do you think Webb would be a good choice to stay in Orlando?"

"Players have the right to choose their own team." O'Neill has a black line, why don't these damn reporters ask me how I broke the big dream and broke the admiral? What are you doing with a hard magic trick!

Kobe Bryant smiled and looked at the big shark who was dizzy by the media, if you blow up Admiral plus Duncan in this round of the series, then it will definitely not be this kind of encounter.

The most asked thing Kobe Bryant was what he thought about the next round of the series.

"No one knows what's going to happen until the basketball game starts."

...

"Ou (???? ω????) y！ Lao Dou finally got us a seat! "Little Curry, EJ-chan, Thompson three little bounce! Ran to the seat before the start of the race.

"It's so hard! This ticket is so hard to get! ”

"Who's to say it isn't? The Lakers' attention is so high, a ticket has been fried to thousands of dollars, a good position to sit next to the bench like ours! It's all fried to more than 10,000 US dollars! I've heard that sidelines and boxes are more expensive! ”

"Value! Learn the tricks! It depends on Kobe! How many points do you say Kobe's brother will score in this game? I guess it's going to be 30 points! ”

"30 points? Can the Jazz team restrain my idol? Set a small goal first, 50+! ”

EJ sauce and Clay Jr. looked at Curry dumbfounded, 50+ has appeared 3 times in the playoffs so far in the heyday of this year, Kobe Bryant can cut 50+ There is no doubt, but can this game really work?

"Boy, it's not small. But I like it! Sitting on the sidelines, next to the Lakers' bench, Nelson recognized that this was the Lakers' junior child, and happily came up and pinched Curry's face.

"Damn bad uncle! Don't pinch my face! "Little Curry's baby face is crumpled up.

"I'm going to prepare you a little bit, this series is not so easy to win." Nelson frowned slightly as he looked at the players who entered the field to start warming up.

While he firmly believes that the Lakers can win against the Jazz eventually, it's hard to say what will happen along the way.

If the Lakers and Jazz are exhausted in seven games and even injured, will they be able to beat the winner of the Magic and Bulls in the Finals?

...

“ONE TWO THREE！ CHAMPION! CHAMPION! CHAMPION!”

The Lakers players gathered together, put their hands on each other's hands, and chanted! Momentum like a rainbow!

The race is about to begin!

"Is it true that Big Ben won't start?" Rambis smiled wryly at Harris, obviously there is a tactic that can block the opponent's ace scorer, even if it will reduce his offensive space, it is worth it in Rambis's opinion.

Harris smiled silently, this arrangement he had decided before the playoffs began!

OK is his tolerance for error. Even if he fails tactically, so what? It's a big deal to change again!

"The Jazz's starters remain the same – Stockton, Richmond, Russell, Malone, Greg Ostertag!"

"And the Lakers didn't follow the roster system they did last season to beat the Jazz, they put Robert Horry on the court!"

"The Lakers have such confidence! This is their starting line-up with 73 wins! In the regular season, their lineup is invincible! ”

"Then the key point of this game is to see if Malone can break through the Lakers!"
