After sweeping the Kings in the Western Conference semifinals, the Lakers faced Duncan and the Spurs in the Western Conference finals.

It looked like it was going to be a tight battle, but as a result, the Lakers swept the Spurs 4-0.

Popovich and the Spurs were at a loss.

At this point, it looks a little hilarious to see what Porter said, "They want to hack us because we're the only team that can play against Los Angeles."

Because for the Alliance, that's really not necessary.

After the Western Conference final, Nelson Sr. called Popovich.

"Your way you can't win a championship right now."

Old Nelson's words almost didn't make Popovich angry and hit people along the phone line.

"No one can win them."

Popovich threw this sentence at Nelson Sr. before hanging up.

Yes, no one can beat this Lakers team.

Whether it's the feeling of Popovich after playing with them, or the feeling of the fans.

Q: What is the win percentage from the 76ers against the Lakers?

Answer: 0.

It's a simple question that couldn't be simpler.

Because the current Lakers team is too strong, strong enough to be in the talking circle of the best teams in the NBA.

In fact, if it weren't for the crossing, Sun Hao also felt that the 76ers team had no chance of winning in front of the Lakers.

Not to mention the thrilling kills of the 76ers all the way, the continuous steal of seven physical consumption is huge, Iverson is also injured, and the defense they rely on to survive basically can't stop the inside and outside firepower of the OK combination.

Nobody thinks they're going to win, or even think they're going to win.

Sun Hao and Yao Ming took the time to watch the live broadcast of G1 in the finals together.

Sun Hao had also seen this game in his last life.

However, there are two kinds of competitions, one is that you want to watch it if you haven't seen it, and the other is that you still want to watch it after watching it.

This [51 fo] is the same with women.

This classic to go down in history, it's really too classic.

Iverson scored 48 points in the finals and single-handedly knocked out the OK combination.

O'Neal's 44 points and 20 rebounds became the most gorgeous background board, and Kobe Bryant, who shot 7 of 22, was hacked out of Xiang again after the game.

You must know that O'Neal scored 48 points and only had a total of 28 shots, only 6 more than Kobe.

Also, Iverson's classic cross over Tyronn Lue.

With a question mark on his face, Lu seems to be reminded of the scene on the beach court a year ago.

A rookie named Sun Hao did something similar to him.

It was a triumph of individual heroism and a triumph that made the fans frenzied.

Because of a small man, the myth of the invincible OK combination has been shattered.

It gives hope and light, it gives people a more fanatical love for basketball, it ...... In the end, he was killed by OK.

Fairy tales are all lies, and in the face of the absolute difference in strength, it is already the limit to be able to win one game.

And Tyronn Lue, the boy with the same dreadlocks as Iverson, stuck himself to Iverson like kraft candy.

Shameful and courageous, Lu became an absolute wonder soldier in this series.

Iverson, the 76ers' only offensive weapon, was restricted, and they also lost the capital to compete with the Lakers.

June 18, Staples Center, Los Angeles.

The 76ers made a final charge towards the Lakers, and Iverson found some touch to score 33 points.

Teylon Hill, Eric Snow, and even Uncle Mu all gave Iverson enough support, and the three of them combined for 44 points.

They trailed the Lakers by just four points at halftime, and they were looking to bring the series back to Philadelphia.

But the Lakers crushed them in just one third quarter.

O'Neal had 29 points and 13 boards, Kobe Bryant had 26 points, 12 boards and 6 assists, Fox had 20 points and 6 assists, and Fisher had 18 points, and the Lakers were enjoying the game.

When the final game was fixed at 108-96, the red light on the sidelines lit up, and the Lakers completed two consecutive championships!

After Jordan retired, they were the first team to do that.

O'Neal averaged 33.0 points, 15.8 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 3.4 blocks per game, and he was enjoying his teammates' crazy celebrations.

Kobe, although he is still not the protagonist, averages 24.6 points per game, which is a huge improvement from last year's 15.6 points.

The whole city of Los Angeles was celebrating wildly, leaving only the lonely backs of Iverson and the 76ers.

This is the era of OK.

Although, it has some imperfections.

After the celebration in the stadium, some fans filmed a scene outside the locker room.

Kobe Bryant was drenched, he looked like after a champagne drip, and he was holding the O'Brien Cup that many players dreamed of, but his figure looked very lonely.

Perhaps sharp-eyed fans will notice that on the night Kobe Bryant won the championship, his parents did not come to the scene.

Because Bryant insisted on marrying Vanessa, his parents had cut ties with him.

The finals came to an end, O'Neal won the FMVP for a second time, the Lakers dynasty was born, and the 2000~2001 season finally came to an end.

In late June, Jordan returned to Washington, and Sun Hao also went to Washington with Yao Ming.

Yao Ming has already participated in the trials of other teams, and now only the last one remains.

The Wizards with the top pick.

Back in the summer of 1998, when the NBA came to a standstill, Jordan announced his retirement, and the entire basketball industry suffered a heavy blow.

And it was a summer with no winners.

In his retirement speech, Jordan said that he has pursued basketball and that he wants to spend more time with his family.

But that's more of a spur of the moment.

Jordan's status determines that he can't really be idle at home.

In fact, Jordan has been seeking a position in team management since retiring, and in the kind of role that goes straight to the top.

After all, he was crushed by Klaus when he was with the Bulls.

He didn't want to go through that again.

But the problem is that most team owners are successful people, and they know very well that professional things should be done by professional people.

Even if Jordan is the god of basketball, he is still a player.

Not to mention the advice he made during his time with the Bulls, which turned out to be not so good in the end.

So it wasn't until this year, two and a half years ago, that the Wizards gave him that opportunity.

However, after half a year, Jordan proved one thing, he is really not good at management.

Of course, anyone's success or failure cannot be judged in a short period of time, and this draft is very crucial.

The Wizards team with the champion sign, whether they will choose the cornerstone of the next team, or choose a champion goalkeeper, or a parallel import, is the last sight of Old Man Qiao.

In fact, as rumored in the market, Old Man Joe has coveted Kwame Brown.

With a height of 2.11 meters, a weight of 122 kilograms, top physical talent, and a large muscle that is different from that of a high school student.

Aside from being a little smaller, what you can see from him is full of talent.

If you compare it to the future, he gave people a stronger feeling before the draft than Howard.

The stronger part is his body, which seems to be able to adapt to the NBA-level game very quickly.

In the case that Jordan may come back, the inside big man he wants to find is also a very important reference factor.

At the age of 38, Jordan doesn't have time to wait for a talented man who needs to adapt to the NBA for a long time.

This is also an important reason why he did not invite Yao Ming to the trial.

Yao Ming looks too skinny, and it will definitely take a long time to adjust to the NBA confrontation.

Back in the clock, at Verizon Center, the Wizards are on a tryout.

There were only four players on the tryout, Kwame Brown, Chandler and Yao Ming.

This is also the top three picks prediction given in ESPN's latest draft list.

At the beginning of the trial, the dynamic and static physical tests were the same as during the joint trial.

Brown's static height and reach, dynamic touch and jump, are all talents visible to the naked eye.

In terms of physical fitness alone, he is definitely the strongest one in this draft.

After the basic tryout, the Wizards also arranged a one-on-one.

Chandler hits Brown first.

Both men are power-type interior players, and it looks like it's going to be a close matchup.

But as a result, Chandler was directly blown up by Brown.

Chandler was only a high school student at this time, and his strength was relative, and when he met Brown, who was stronger than himself, his advantage was gone.

Brown didn't need much skill to destroy Chandler's defense.

On the other hand, Chandler is not very good at offense, and when he encounters a tough and defensive interior like Brown, scoring is a luxury.

Not only Jordan came to the Wizards' tryout, but also Pauline, the team's owner.

watched Brown and Chandler's one-on-one, and both of them had smiles on their faces that couldn't be hidden.

Pauline, in particular, had a feeling of a chance to do it all over again.

Speaking of the Wizards, we have to mention the 1995 NBA Draft.

The Wizards, who were still called the Washington Bullets at the time, held the No. 4 pick, but ended up choosing Rasheed Wallace over Garnett, who was picked by the Timberwolves with the fifth pick.

Years later, when Garnett became the league's hottest star, Wallace fell to the point of being traded by the team.

That has become the biggest pain in the hearts of Washingtonians.

Now this pain can finally be smoothed out.

A high school student who looks stronger than Garnett is right in front of their eyes right now.

Chandler was left in embarrassment, and Yao Ming came next.

"Da Yao, don't have reservations, just blow them up, especially Brown."

Before the trial began, Sun Hao specially told Yao Ming.

It's hard to change Jordan's mind by talking.

There's only one way to change his mind, and that's to show him.

Yao Ming nodded.

Although he hadn't played against Brown before, he was never afraid of anyone.

The ball was sent out and Brown attacked first.

Brown used his body to hit Yao Ming, and Yao Ming looked like he was easily knocked away.

By the time he was about to dunk, just like he had been in Chicago, Brown had just been hit with a big hat.

And he wasn't as lucky as Curry was at the beginning, and the ball was directly fanned out of the court.

Both Jordan and Pauline were stunned for a moment.

Yao Ming's reaction was a bit fast.

Sun Hao was also surprised.

Of course, what surprised him was not that Yao Ming could cover this risk, but Yao Ming's choice.

Yao Ming obviously dodged Brown, so that the other party didn't eat hard, and then reached out and took the initiative to block.

It doesn't look like it's much different from when he was in Chicago against Curry, but after a closer look, it's a big difference.

Jordan's previous praise for Sun Hao's learning ability was also shown in Yao Ming.

And Yao Ming has no system, this kind of learning ability is really valuable.

Ball exchange, Yao Ming attacking Brown.

Jordan and Pauline looked back at the court.

This time, Jordan's expression was very focused.

Just like the previous guidance of Sun Hao's mid-distance training, Jordan is a master of basketball skills, and what Sun Hao can see, he can also see.

He also knows that Brown's offensive skills are rough, and he values Brown's defense more.

After all, he can do it on his own when it comes to offense, but when it comes to defense, he is older after all, and he must have strong enough players on the inside to guard it.

The ball was sent out, Yao Ming took the ball, leaned on Brown, and turned to shoot with a hook hand.

The movement of this ball is very beautiful, but Brown is really not a vegetarian, and although the shot that waits for the opportunity after carrying Yao Ming is not covered, it gives enough interference.

Yao Ming's shot also failed to score.

Jordan had a relieved look on his face at this time, and he still didn't misunderstand Brown.

Yao Ming's face didn't change much, he probably didn't expect Brown to react so quickly, but he quickly adjusted his mentality.

Brown attacked again, this time he hit Yao Ming with continuous force, and waited until he was sure that Yao Ming couldn't reach it before making a move.

Yao Ming's disadvantage in confrontation was revealed, and the blocking of this shot gave limited interference.

But Brown is aiming for the ball...... Butter hands!

Hand small pots.

Brown missed points on consecutive offenses, and the ball was exchanged again.

Yao Ming received the ball again and threw directly to the free throw line.

This action made Jordan stunned.

You're a 2.26 meter man!

"Huh!"

But what's even more excessive is that the ball was even shot hollow.

1 to 0.

Yao Ming scored first.

Sun Hao stretched out his hand to applaud Yao Ming.

Well done!

History has said how stupid Jordan's decision to pick Brown was, but now it seems to be a bit of an afterthought.

After all, mental quality is not very obvious, and in terms of talent alone, Brown is better than Chandler and Curry.

This can be seen from Yao Ming's confrontation with these people one after another.

Yao Ming continued to catch the ball, and this time he chose a hook hand after a series of turns.

Brown couldn't keep up with Yao's pace, and he felt like he was playing against a power forward rather than a big center.

In the end, he didn't catch the point of Yao Ming's shot, Yao Ming's light little hook hand.

"Huh!"

Soft feel, Yao Ming is in the next city!

2 to 0!

Jordan's eyes seemed to change at this time.

Yao Ming continued to catch the ball, this time directly borrowing a homeopathic outside hook after the confrontation.

Brown couldn't jump or cover.

"Huh!"

3 to 0!

Yao Ming's soft hand feels incredible.

Jordan turned to say something to Pauline, who nodded.

The confrontation on the court ended quickly, and Brown didn't have much to do in the face of Yao Ming's offense.

Like when he blew Chandler before, he was also blown up by Yao Ming, and more thoroughly.
