Chapter 480: G3! The Lakers are cornered!
June 6, 1997!
Los Angeles! Great Western Forum Stadium!
The inside and outside of the arena has become a sea of purple gold.
"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen! I'm Craig Saiger from NBC! Here's the live stream! "A man in a red plaid shirt interviews a random audience outside the arena.
"Are you a Lakers fan? Who do you fancy to win the third game? "Seg happened to catch Curry Jr., Clay Jr., and EJ Sauce.
Curry Jr. looked at the camera with big eyes: "Of course, I'm an 18-year Lakers fan!" Lakers Championship! ”
"Haha, you shouldn't be 18 years old. But why are you bullish on the Lakers? You know, they were crushed by the Bulls in their last game. ”
"Jordan, that old guy is back to the light! The real superstar still has to watch Kobe! Curry Jr. muttered in his mouth, he blamed himself a little, if he had gone to Chicago to cheer for Kobe Bryant in the last game, maybe he would have won.
"Kids, you're so interesting! So this viewer, who do you think will win? Saige looked at little Clay to the side.
"Thou shalt not speak, thou shalt not speak." Little Clay smiled, a picture of a virtuous monk.
"Let's go, don't bother with this weird man." EJ-chan pulled Curry Jr. and Clay Jr. and ran away, leaving Saige with a dazed face.
...
Compared with Chicago, which lacks heritage, the finals in Los Angeles are full of celebrities.
"Hey, Elgin. Why didn't you come here because you weren't your general manager? Magic quipped that he was opposite Elgin Baylor, who was named executive vice president of basketball for the Los Angeles Clippers in his early years.
"MAGIC, I'LL SEE HOW YOU'LL BE REPAIRED BY MICHAEL." Baylor still can't let go of the purple and gold, and he bought tickets early for the Lakers' third game.
"Then you're going to be disappointed, we're going to kick Michael's ass hard!"
"Wirt is here, Karim is here, it's a really lively game."
"The Lakers haven't been back in the Finals in years, and it's a must. We, the old-timers, are also going to cheer Kobe Shak and them on! ”
In addition to basketball stars, a number of Hollywood entertainment stars also came to cheer for the Lakers.
"Kobe, win this game! I don't care about you not giving me box office dividends. Jack Nelson grinned, "Smart Ghost Record" has become popular in the United States, and under the operation of Paramount, overseas channels have also begun to release one after another.
The final box office will definitely exceed hundreds of millions of dollars, and Kobe Bryant will become a multimillionaire. And as the filmmaker, Jack Nelson's eyes fell to the ground.
He didn't expect that this movie made by Kobe Bryant playing tickets could be so popular, if he had known that it would be like this, he would have knocked a box office dividend.
Kobe Bryant smiled, he knew that Nelson was just joking, and he still paid more attention to the spirit of the contract. And this film has definitely brought Nielsen a lot of benefits, he has officially stepped into the position of producer and director from a film and television star. In the future, his acting career will be wider, and I am afraid that a large number of companies will invite him to be a producer or director.
Schwarzenegger, Will Smith, Little Plum and a large number of other popular Hollywood superstars all sat on the sidelines of the Lakers.
"That's what I want, that's what I want the Lakers." Old Bass sat in the box, sipping a sip of wine.
"The future will be better." Jerry West lamented that this is only the first year of OK, as long as there are no injuries and no conflicts, their future is infinitely bright.
The future basketball world belongs to the Lakers.
...
"Let's make a bet, how many points will Michael score in this game?" Barkley chewed gum and said to his teammates in Houston.
"I don't think he's going to keep it up, so let's cut about 30 points." Drexler said, as a player who has played against Jordan himself. What Drexler said is not unreasonable, at the age of 35, can the physical strength still support him to play at that level of competition at a high intensity?
If Drexler is allowed to cut 30+, he may be weak in the next game. Michael Jordan, who is about the same age as the Houston Big Three, may not be able to escape the erosion of time.
"It's hard to say how many points Michael scores, Kobe Bryant will step up this game." Olajuwon folded his arms and lay on the sofa.
"Yes, it's time to stand up and defend the home field. They now have a home advantage, and if G3 loses, there is no advantage. ”
"Kobe Bryant obviously didn't go all out to attack in the first two games, and this game may be a big point battle between Kobe and Jordan."
"Soaring points, can you still beat Michael Jordan?" Barkley scoffed.
"Who knows?"
"Basketball is more unexpected than any movie script."
...
"Pay attention to the size, I'll be staring at you guys in this game. You don't want to be embarrassed in front of so many celebrities, do you? Scott Foster blows for this game, and his style of enforcement is more gentle, with relatively few whistles.
"Understood." Having a good relationship with the referee is something that every player has to learn.
When Scott Foster's basketball is thrown high into the sky, it means that the finals G3 begins!
"The Lakers tweaked their starters! Kobe Bryant, Curry, Jones, Horry, Shaq! ”
"The Bulls kept the lineup the same, but in this game the Bulls tried to get Rodman to do the jump!"
Longley's train-like bouncing in the first two games really left Phil Jackson speechless, and he knew that if Longley jumped the ball, it would be equivalent to giving up the first offensive power to the Lakers. Why don't you go for it and let Dennis Rodman jump the ball.
Rodman's bounce is terrifying, as evidenced by his rebounds per game.
But his height is still a weakness, even if the gap between the jump ball and O'Neal this time is already very small.
"Advance!" Kobe Bryant catches the ball and advances quickly!
The speed advantage of the small lineup must be played!
Pippen didn't come forward to press, and Bryant smoothly advanced to the three-point line.
Look left and right for a while, and just wait for a little back to pull it up and vote!
"It's coming! Kobe's unreasonable three points are here! ”
"That's it? It's the Grand Final!? His opponent is Scottie Pippen, a seven-time Defensive Team of the Year so far! ”
Kobe Bryant took off and kicked his feet forward slightly.
Pippen stepped forward to defend, but was blocked by Bryant's foot.
"Damn, stinky boy is not afraid of being tiptoed when shooting like this?" Pippen was furious, it was too dirty, and Kobe's offensive mode was too dirty.
In this era when there are no offensive players who can't deliberately kick defenders, such shots can't be defended!
Kobe Bryant showed off another weapon in his arsenal!
"Huh!"
3:0!
