Fans are unanimously optimistic about the Lakers with 67 wins, but Knicks fans don't think their home team will lose.

Because until '99, the only team that has eliminated a team with more than 67 wins is the New York Knicks!

In the 72-73 season, the Boston Celtics had a regular season record of 68-14, but were defeated by the Knicks who were 57-25, and then in the finals, the New Yorkers defeated the Los Angeles Lakers with 60 wins and won the second championship in team history!

The Knicks were able to beat the Celtics with 68 wins, but now they are afraid of the Lakers with 67 wins?

Boston fans are disdainful to see Knicks fans so confident.

That year, if it weren't for the injury of the Celtics' all-time scoring champion John Havlicek, the Celtics would have been eliminated so easily!

Besides, the Knicks that season had super center Willis Reed, super power forward Dave Debusschel, Rolls-Royce luxury backcourt Walter Fraser and Earl Monroe, as well as superstars such as Bill Bradley, Jerry Lucas, and Phil Jackson.

What's in this Knicks now?

Garnett, who was selected for the first time in his career, may be very powerful, but he is not at all an opponent for MVP!

Sabonis can't stand O'Neal, and it's even more impossible for the Knicks to be on the inside!

Various experts also issued articles at this time, expressing optimism about the Lakers.

In lineup comparison, the Knicks' point guard, small forward, and big forward are all stronger than the Lakers, but the guard is slightly inferior. Alan Houston is sharp on offense, but not as terrifying on the defensive end as Kobe.

Compared with the bench, the Knicks have the best sixth man, Nowitzki, and even though the Lakers' bench is quite luxurious, the Knicks still have the advantage.

However, the Lakers' strong point is too strong, and O'Neal this season is really worth it!

With such a dominant center, it's hard for the Lakers not to win this series!

The Los Angeles Times believes that the Finals are 73 open, and the Lakers have a 70% chance of winning the championship. The Orange County Chronicle is even more exaggerated, believing that the game will be 82 open, and the Lakers have an 8 percent probability of winning the championship!

Today, the United States is more conservative, believing that 64 opens, the Lakers have a 6 percent probability of winning the championship.

Only the more confident New York media, most of them think that 55 open, the Knicks and the Lakers have half a winning rate!

New York, Knicks Training Gym, the whole team is working out as a team.

"Gates, pass the ball out, O'Neill will definitely pass the ball in this situation!" Steve Cole exclaimed.

At this time, Kerr played the role of Lakers head coach Phil Jackson, and also played the role of the Lakers' small forward. He didn't make the playoffs, and he has played this role more than once.

"Oh." Knicks center Gates Joseph, who is simulating O'Neal, throws the ball to Kerr.

As soon as Maddie saw Kerr holding the ball, he immediately struck forward!

"Stop!" Li Wei shouted, "Tracy, your movements are too fast, slow down, premature pinching can only lead to Glenn Rice passing, so Kobe Bryant, who was given up by you, will be happy." You'll have to wait for him to dribble before you pinch forward, and you'll have to block his possible passing paths. Although this is his contract year, if the chances are not too bad, he probably won't pass it on. ”

"Hahaha!" The crowd chuckled.

"Alright, practice again." Li Weidao.

Scott Brooks, who has retired and become an assistant coach, said: "I'm Ron Harper now, Kobe, you run tactics to catch the ball!" ”

Rashad Lewis plays Bryant, cutting outside along the tactical line of the Triangle Offense!

Herb Williams plays Lakers power forward AC Green and covers for Lewis!

A few rounds later, the Knicks' players defended the ball, but Li Wei shook his head, because if Kerr and others were replaced by real Lakers players, they were afraid that the ball had already been scored.

Byron Scott came over and said, "David, let's get here today, and we're going to Los Angeles tomorrow!" ”

"Okay."

Although Li Wei still wanted the team to practice for a while, he had no choice but to interrupt the training.

The media and fans are unanimously optimistic about the Lakers, which is naturally not unreasonable. The Lakers, who have won 67, have home-court advantage, and the Knicks are on the passive side. And although Da Yao has grown up and can defend most of the alliance's interior lines, it is O'Neill on the other side!

O'Neill, a once-in-a-century wizard!

In this era when those who have inside lines win the world, a pinnacle O'Neal with Phil Jackson standing next to him is enough to kill all opponents!

On the evening of June 6, the Knicks' special plane traveled across the United States and came to Los Angeles on the West Coast!

If you want to say who is the happiest when the Lakers and the Knicks meet in the finals, it must be David Stern. The largest ball market in the United States and the second largest ball market in the United States, Mars hit the earth, and the promotion effect on the entire basketball market must be amazing!

If you have to find some fly in the ointment, it's that the Knicks' opponent in the East is not Chicago!

The third largest ball market in the United States is now swinging *** more sad!

The media also knew that David Stern was happier, so they specially reported some news that blocked him, such as: the Lakers and Knicks met in the Finals is a conspiracy of the NBA league, David Stern has overshadowed the Portland Trail Blazers, and so on.

That night, the Lakers were interviewed by the media.

In this year's regular season, the two teams clashed, and the big shark O'Neal's "Chinese" sparked protests from all Chinese Americans and was elevated to the height of racial discrimination, for which O'Neill had to publicly apologize and admit his mistake.

After apologizing, O'Neill's heart was in a panic.

O'Neill is actually very childish and likes to make nonsense at the media. When he first debuted, he angered the Western All-Stars, and in the All-Star Game of '94, the Western Army teamed up to make him only 2 of 12 shots, and David Robinson showed off his dribbling skills and scored past O'Neal many times.

Because of his resentment against Robinson, O'Neill once told the media that when he was in high school, Robinson ruthlessly rejected his request for an autograph, and even wrote it into his autobiography in 2001. Later, Bryant also mentioned this at the unveiling of O'Neal's statue.

David Robinson was confused about this, and when the reporter interviewed him, he smiled embarrassedly: "What book? Coloring books? ”

Later, O'Neal retired and became a host, finally admitting on a show that he made up the widely circulated story because he "needs to give himself a reason to hate those players, and if not, then make it up." ”

David Robinson embarrassed O'Neal, causing the two to have a grudge that lasted for years. Last season, Li Wei also used a flying hat to embarrass O'Neal!

If it is said that blocking on the basketball court is a common thing, O'Neal should not care about it, but after O'Neal said wildly this season, Li Wei's counterattack made him have to care!

Li Wei said at the time: "O'Neill didn't eat a hat today, and he doesn't know what his surname is, he needs to take a big hat to calm down!" ”

Originally, it was a shame for a lifetime to take Li Wei's big hat, but Li Wei didn't open any pot and which pot to mention, and it was strange that the childish O'Neill didn't jump like thunder!

In an interview with reporters, O'Neal arrogantly said that he has never regarded the Knicks as an opponent, and the Lakers with 67 wins will definitely win this year's championship. As for Li Wei, if he dares to play, he will definitely burst on the opponent's head.

O'Neal's teammate Kobe Bryant is more humble than O'Neal, he said: The Lakers won easily when they met the Knicks twice in the regular season, and he didn't think the Knicks could stop the Lakers from winning the championship!
