........
The upcoming Finals between the Lakers and the Bulls instantly detonated the league.
This season has been an epic one, and the 70-win team has only qualified for the MLS in 50 years.
70 wins require not only strength, but also serendipity. Countless dominant teams in history have qualified, but only the Bulls have won more than 70 wins.
And this season there were two!
They also met in the finals!
Season of Legends!
A series of legends!
In this series, the winning side will inevitably achieve immortality. They stepped on another 70-win team to win the title, and this title is almost never more valuable.
It could even be said that this is the greatest overall victory!
Winning the team is the strongest team in history!
On the other hand, the losing team will also be beaten into a catastrophe, and losing the championship with 70 wins sounds like it can't be done.
The winning side will go down in history, and the losing side will be nailed to the pillar of shame forever to be watched and complained about by future generations.
Countless celebrities began to stand up and comment on this round of the series.
"Who do you think will win?" Old man Chamberlain was also invited to the TV station.
"Of course it's our Lakers!"
One day Zijin is a lifelong laker, and Chamberlain is a brainless lake.
ESPN's basketball commentators offer analysis.
"The two teams don't have much of a high or low lineup on paper, and I personally think the Bulls should have a slight advantage, their players have experienced more life-and-death battles, and the Lakers' players have even the talent and strength, but how many of them have the experience of playing on this kind of world's highest stage?"
"The Lakers' interior is the only advantage for the Bulls, but Shaq should recall the story of being swept by Chicago. Last summer, Shaq and Penny were also swept away by such a king team. And I don't think the Lakers are any better than the Magic. β
"Kobe Bryant is better than Penny, but their other players are weaker than the Magic, the Magic's three-man at the time was the Triple Crown All-Star big forward Cobra Scott, and what about the Lakers' three-in-command? What good can a milky Eddie Jones be. What the Bulls do best is locking down perimeter players. β
"To make a conservative estimate, Jordan averaged 32 points per game in the series, O'Neal 28, Kobe Bryant 25, Pippen 20 points, and Eddie Jones 7."
"That's right, Eddie Jones only deserved seven points."
"Even Kobe's 25 points I think are a bit high, if Michael is like Tim Hardaway to mark Kobe, can Kobe perform better?"
Tim Hardaway shot 32.7 percent from the field in the last round and averaged 12 points per game. A first-team point guard in a league can only play like this, what about Kobe? β
"Oh, you guys said Kobe Bryant's legendary performance of 38.2 points, 4.5 rebounds, 8.3 assists, 2.7 steals, 0.5 blocks and 3.2 turnovers per game in the last round series?"
"Then you can also look at Tim Hardaway's performance in the first two rounds, he is not weaker than Kobe, but he is still beaten by Michael."
"Michael Jordan, forever dripping gods!"
"No one can surpass him and defeat him! This was true in the past, it is in the present, and it will be true in the future! β
...
"Fart! That ESPN expert above is talking! β
"First of all, Kobe Bryant didn't fall behind at all in the regular season and the All-Star confrontation with Jordan, and even completed the lore! Know what that means! β
"Kobe Bryant is a player who can't be defended like Jordan, but the Lakers' advantage is Shaq!"
"Let's look at the Bulls' weak interior defense this season, and they can't even handle an All-Star Amozo Mourning outside of the big four centers."
"Put Shaq on the inside! Let him charge, and then Kobe Bryant will follow the harvest! β
"I'll just ask you how to defend the bull?"
"It's impossible to defend against the Lakers' OK combination, the OK combination has been invincible for 10 years, and I believe they can win at least 5 championships!"
"Kobe Bryant buried Big Dreams, buried Fliggy, and then you! The last guy of '84, Michael Jordan. β
"A new era is coming! And you old guys, hurry down and rest and recuperate! β
"Michael Jordan, you're not going to do it."
...
"Kobe Bryant's average of 38.2 points per game in the series surprised you, didn't it?"
"But you know, Michael has won the series five times with an average of 40+ per game! There was even a grand final! Do you still think Kobe's performance is incredible? β
"There have been nine series so far in history averaging 40+ points per game.
'62 Finals Elgin Baylor 40.6 points and shot 43.0%
'65 Western Conference Finals Jerry West 46.3 points and shot 45.3%

Bernard King in the '84 Eastern Conference first round 42.6 points and shot 60.4%

Michael Jordan in the first round of the '92 East Conference 45.0 points and shot 60.9%
'93 Finals Michael Jordan 41.0 points and shot 50.8% from the field
"Look at this record, what do you understand?"
"Michael Jordan! His dominance in scoring is unmatched, and no player can match the 50th anniversary of MLS. β
"All these things that Kobe Bryant did, Jordan did, and he did it better than Kobe."
"Jordan in the finals is completely different from the regular season."
"Kobe, get ready for your nightmare!"
...
"40+ in the series and 40+ in the finals is really great."
"But you guys overlooked one point, how old was Michael when he entered the league?"
"How old is Kobe Bryant now?"
"Does Michael have Kobe's strength at Kobe's age?"
"Michael has done a lot of incredible things, but Kobe Bryant is no different."
"Ke is like the rising sun, although he is not radiant, but he has infinite possibilities."
"Jordan is declining, people can't live in the past, he once shone on the whole earth, but now he has a bit of peak light?"
