Chapter 372: FMVP gambles on a career fight
"Ah, the air in Los Angeles is really full of sunshine and sand, fragrant smell." Jazz and his entourage traveled from the cold Utah Plateau to the warm and pleasant Los Angeles. As soon as Carl Malone stepped off the plane, he let out a voice full of envy.
"Carl, win this game and let Los Angeles cheer you on." Hornacek quipped.
"Haha, I don't think LA fans are going to cheer for the stars of other teams, win or lose. In Los Angeles, the Lakers' die-hard fans make up the vast majority. Carl shook his head, the greasy middle-aged man who didn't even let go of a 14-year-old girl, of course, also liked the sunny beach bikinis in Los Angeles. But apart from joining this team, Karl Malone couldn't think of a way to get Lakers fans to switch to his own arms.
Karl Malone and the Jazz players giggle. Seriously, Carl Malone has always had an ideal in his heart to play in a seaside city, and he loves those hot girls on the beach! He wanted those hot girls to be crazy about him, and the Jazz, who were in the Utah Plateau, had no such environment at all. Most of them are Mormons, and they are very conservative and feudal, not quite like these places in Miami, Los Angeles.
"Perhaps, it's not bad to find a place like this to retire at the end of your career?" Malone secretly said in his heart that he has no plans to leave the team for the time being, and the Jazz team can be said to be responsive to his treatment, and meets all his requirements in terms of team status and money. Although Malone is not a good person, he still knows that he is grateful to repay him, and he is desperate to get a championship for the Jazz.
But at the end of his career, after winning the championship! After all, you can enjoy life.
Of course, the first thing to face is this game between the Jazz and the Lakers.
Stockton grimaced, ignoring the banter of the rest of the team.
This game, he is serious about wanting to win! As an old cannon. He is no matter how unwilling to accept that the Lakers have 70 wins on his head, which is more uncomfortable than killing him! It would be a stain on the whole basketball career, a stain that cannot be washed away. This stain will stay with Stockton for the rest of his life, and whenever Stockton is mentioned, someone will say, "Oh! Stockton, it's the Lakers' 70 wins, isn't he the guard who is opposite Kobe? ”
That's not what Stockton wants, and when Stockton wants to be mentioned by the world, he will be named the most powerful passer in history, the best white point guard in history, and the core player of the Jazz championship. Instead of becoming a Laker and becoming an inconspicuous stepping stone on Kobe's path to glory.
It's true that the Jazz's apparent boss is Karl Malone, but the real spiritual leader has always been Stockton. Looking at Stockton, who had a cold face and didn't say a word, the Jazz players also looked right. Although Stockton did not reprimand them, they understood that the big war was coming, and they should not relax at this time. The Lakers have already done them too much damage, and this time, they must win their own victory at the Lakers' home arena, the Great Western Forum Arena, instead of becoming the backdrop of the Lakers' 70-win wall of honor.
...
"Joe, how are you feeling?" At a luxury hotel in Chicago, the strongest small forward of the season, Grant Hill looked with some concern at the knee of the team's veteran Joe Dumas, which was wrapped in a full ice pack, and the 34-year-old veteran's decline was one of the biggest reasons for the Pistons' stalemate.
At Dumas's peak, he was the first choice for the Bad Boys to defend Jordan, and he did the difficult task of defending Jordan for many years. Although there are a number of excellent defensive players behind him, the player who has the greatest credit for completing the blockade of Jordan is none other than Dumas.
In the 88-89 season, when the Bad Boys swept the Los Angeles Lakers 4-0, Dumas won the biggest honor of his career - FMVP, which can be said to be the most dominant honor in this era. In that round of the finals, Joe Dumas averaged 27.3 points, 1.8 rebounds and 6.0 assists per game, with a 57.6% shooting rate, and also defended Magic Johnson, defending him to 4 games, averaging 11.7 points, 3.7 rebounds, 8.0 assists and 1.0 steals per game. You know, the magician also has James Worthy and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar by his side! He's not alone like he lost to the Bulls!
Joe Dumas is an absolute superstar in this series. Not only did the offensive end dominate the game, but the defensive end turned the all-time No. 1 point guard into a transparent man! The incredible achievement led him to the FMVP, and what many people don't know is that before the victory over the Lakers, Joe Dumas had just beaten the Chicago Bulls 4-2.
In the 88-89 season, Dumas played directly against Michael Jordan, the all-time No. 1 point guard, and All-time No. 1 point guard Magic Johnson. And victorious!
Reality is always more dramatic!
"Old man, this game, let Michael remember the fear of being dominated by us back then." Instead of responding to Grant Hill, Dumas spoke to his own knee.
In Joe Dumas's life, the last person he wants to lose is Michael Jordan. The grievances and hatreds between Dumas and Jordan can be said to have lasted all night, and Jordan was Jordan and Jordan was defeated. It was the ban on Jordan that brought the Bad Boy Army to the top. Being defeated by Jordan is also the biggest sign that the bad boy army has fallen into a strange way. Jordan destroyed a team with dynastic potential, and if it weren't for Jordan, the Bad Boys would have won the championship in the 90-91 season.
Even the SHOWTIME trio at their peak can be tough, but are the bad boy legions still afraid of the magicians who fight alone?
As long as he can win three consecutive championships, then Joe Dumas can be arguably the best civilian scoring guard in history. Isaiah Thomas is the second-time point guard in history, and that position is unshakable. The Pistons Bad Boys will also go down in history, and all this glory of the Chicago Bulls will belong to the Pistons.
And Michael Jordan ruined it all!
If it weren't for Michael Jordan's 4-0 sweep of the Pistons, the Pistons players would not have left the court directly after the game under the leadership of Isaiah Thomas.
This is a very ungentlemanly act, and Jo Dumas does not deny it in the slightest. But they're angry!
Anyone can, why Michael Jordan! This man, who has been defeated by them countless times, fights monsters and upgrades like a protagonist aura, becoming stronger and stronger, and finally defeats them as a boss. Burn their dreams to the ground.
Joe Dumas, by no means, once again let the Pistons be the background board for the Bulls.
This time, even if he is reimbursed for his comeback career, he will make Michael Jordan fail!
With me, don't try to get 70 wins on the Pistons!
