Chapter 406: High Goals and Big Gains

Game 4 of the Finals is scheduled for June 8th, and the home court is naturally the Quick Loan Center, and the Cavaliers are in a desperate situation, and the situation in the series is in an unprecedented mess, and it can even be said that after losing the third game, the Cavaliers' championship prospects have been blocked. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info You know, it's 0:3 behind, not 1:3, not 2:3, not 3:3! Falling behind 0:3 not only means that the Cavaliers need to turn over four games in a row to make history and win the championship, but also reflects the gap in the strength of the Cavaliers and the Lakers without Love.

The first three games are the best proof that the Lakers are so strong that the Cavaliers have no chance of winning. In the series, Kobe Bryant, who was well rested with his injury, showed amazing form, and the Lakers under his leadership showed fans around the world a powerful and dominant super team, this Lakers, harmonious and tacit, amazing team feeling, and this team's tactical execution is unprecedentedly outstanding. Most importantly, this team is extremely talented, the veterans are getting stronger, and the young people are growing faster, which makes it impossible for the Cavaliers to compete with the Lakers for a championship.

"The Lakers' young blood has been completely transformed, with two near-perfect seasons and two playoff seasons, and the young people of this team have lived up to their talent. There's no denying that this Lakers team is getting more dominant right now. Over the next few seasons, the Lakers will dominate the league as long as they can maintain their current main players. ”

"Kobe Bryant is in amazing form, and he can still play in this league for many years. I believe that the Lakers will maintain their monopoly on the championship at least for the last two years. After all, it's not hard to imagine that next season, the Lakers will be better and better than they are now. So, if the Lakers win the championship this year, then they have a very good chance of building a new dynasty team. ”

It's incredible to think about it, Kobe's career seemed to be about to be finalized and slowly coming to an end, but I didn't expect that he now has the opportunity to create new history. If he can really lead the Lakers to build a new dynasty, then his historical status should be immeasurable. You know, there will be 2 triple crowns and 1 double title on his honor list at that time. If he can win 8 championships, will he be in the same position as Michael Jordan or even surpass him? ”

The Lakers lead 3:0, and with the match point in hand, the probability of the Lakers winning the championship has exceeded 90%. With Kobe Bryant's 7th crown on the horizon, the world's buzz revolves around him. And LeBron James, the pride of the sky, is completely ignored, and he and his Cavaliers are suffering like never before.

Judging from the current situation, James is unwilling to lead the Cavaliers to play one or two good games, and then avoid the possibility of being swept in the Finals. However, if he wants to win four games in a row, then the odds are too slim.

A lot of media has been talking about the possibility of a Cavaliers comeback through analysis, but almost all voices agree that the Lakers are going to win the championship.

Barkley, who has already become a supporter of Kobe, did not shy away from expressing his views on the Finals: "Everything can be decided, Cleveland's performance is disappointing, I originally thought that LeBron and Kobe Bryant could fight a tiebreaker, but now, Kobe Bryant is going to send LeBron to vacation in the fourth game." ”

"No, the series is far from over. Our faith is the same as before, and there is no diminishing of anything. ”

James and other players refused to be interviewed, so the reporter put the interview on head coach David Blatter. When it comes to the current situation in the series, Blatter's face is not very good-looking. However, the aura revealed by him makes people understand that even if he falls behind 0:3, he still will not have any thoughts of giving up.

'We don't have the world to think too much about us now and I've spoken to everyone in the team these days. LeBron, Kyrie, Ray, they all have no problems. We desperately need a win, and yes, for us, it's all about getting a win first. We're not going to think about who's going to win the championship right now. ”

Admittedly, as Blatter said, the Cavaliers are in terrible form at the moment. And if a player can stay focused and try to pursue a win, then maybe there is a little bit of hope.

However, is the atmosphere in the Cavaliers really so harmonious now? Everything is as Blatter says there is no problem?

The answer is hard to say.

Because after the second game of the finals, there have been rumors about the Cavaliers' general discord. It is said that James and Blatter have a big problem getting along, and if the Cavaliers really lose the Finals this year, then the relationship between the two will likely be very different. In the end, it is difficult to say whether Blatter will be able to stay with the Cavaliers.

Actually, the question of the relationship between James and Blatter is not a new rumor. This happened quite a few times during the regular season. However, at that time, the Big Three were running in very well, and the Cavaliers were in good shape, so the outside world did not pay much attention to the fact that James and Blatter did not call much.

However, when the Cavaliers didn't play like a championship team at all during the Finals, the topic was re-talked about.

"David, in all three games, LeBron's performance is substandard, is this a problem with the Cavaliers' tactical play? Or is there something wrong with LeBron's own form? ”

Although the reporter did not directly ask about the relationship between Blatter and James, he still raised the question indirectly.

In the three games, James didn't play particularly well, you know, in Lefou's absence, James should have taken on more, and his personal performance is undoubtedly much better than the regular season. However, in these three games, James has not been able to have a particularly bright performance, and his form has always made people feel a little struggling.

Blatter was obviously a little resistant to this question, but he replied anyway: "LeBron can't be substandard, he's the best player on the planet." And we don't have any problems with the way we play, you know, everyone is trying to play well. The reason why we couldn't win the game is that the opponent is better than us. Both defensively and offensively, this Lakers team is among the best in the league. Before the series started, I expected it to be difficult to play against them, but I didn't expect it to be this in the end. They prepared well and the players played better, so they were in the lead, not us. ”

Immediately, Blatter talked about Lakers head coach Chu Xuan under the reporter's question, and Blatter highly respected Chu Xuan.

"He's definitely a phenomenal coach and he's been doing the unthinkable. Every step he takes, he makes history. I've always felt that he could be one of the best basketball coaches in the world, and I forced myself to ignore his age. It's really a pleasure to be able to play against him. ”

Quick Loan Center Arena.

A lot of NBA celebrities appeared on the sidelines, adding a lot of stars to the game.

Payton, Johnson, Abdul-Jabbar and others are all familiar faces to fans.

In addition to them, the most exciting thing is that Jordan actually came to watch the game, which was very, very unexpected.

You know, in the NBA, Jordan, Kobe Bryant and James are the most talked about together, which is the biggest topic in these years. Jordan is certainly a notch above James and Kobe, and his achievements and personal performances on the court are a reflection of his strong dominance. And what has always been of most interest to fans is that Kobe Bryant and James can catch up with Jordan, or more optimistically, who can surpass Jordan.

Jordan is the benchmark for NBA superstars as a whole, and his name symbolizes basketball. Therefore, as juniors, Kobe Bryant and James both hope to achieve the same achievements as Jordan. Therefore, over the years, the focus of the heat has never weakened on which of the three people is the strongest and whose career ranking is higher.

However, Jordan's significance to basketball and the NBA is difficult for anyone to replace, his name is like a golden sign, ingrained in the hearts of fans in every era, and will always be mentioned most frequently.

At this time, on the occasion of the second meeting between Kobe and James in the finals, Jordan appeared on the sidelines to watch the game, which naturally detonated the atmosphere of the scene. And the media and reporters are also flocking to it, looking for an opportunity to interview Jordan.

However, ordinary reporters will not find this kind of opportunity, after all, Master Qiao's temperament is not something that ordinary people can ponder, and he has never been particularly interested in the media.

However, ESPN's sideline reporter at the Quick Loan Center got this opportunity, and Jordan seemed to be in a good mood and seemed to be communicating with him casually.

"Michael, which team do you think will win the championship?"

Jordan couldn't help but be stunned by this question, it didn't seem that there was any need to ask questions. You know, now the whole world probably thinks that the Lakers can win the championship.

"I think the team that plays well can win the championship." Jordan smiled slyly and said slowly.

Such an answer made the ESPN reporter couldn't help but smile, and he finally felt the pressure of chatting with Jordan, because this guy is so smart.

"Michael, Kobe Bryant is likely to win his seventh championship, who do you think should have a higher historical status between him and LeBron James?"

"There is no doubt that if Kobe Bryant wins seven championships, he will at least have a place ahead of LeBron in history. However, LeBron is still young, and he still has the opportunity to achieve even higher achievements in the future. ”

"Can you give a specific ranking? Where do you think Kobe Bryant can be in the All-Time Player rankings? ”

Jordan smiled: "I'm not good at this ranking, maybe you can ask Charles and Reggie." Well, if I were to platoon, Kobe would be one of the best ten. I'm just saying it's the top 10, and I don't have a specific ranking. ”

"Michael, can you ask a question?" With a smile on his face, and when he received a nod from Jordan, he continued: "Some people think that Kobe Bryant will surpass you if he can continue to win more championships. What do you think about this? ”

As soon as this question appeared, it immediately attracted the attention of fans all over the world.

Everyone was curious how Jordan would answer. You know, in terms of his character, he will definitely not admit that Kobe Bryant is better than him.

"I've always felt that the ranking of the best players shouldn't exist because it's disrespectful to all the players who have had great journeys. Everyone has their own unique career and era, and sometimes it's not very fair to compare them together. I've always admired Kobe Bryant since he entered the league. I would like to congratulate him from the bottom of my heart on all his achievements. I don't think anyone really cares who is the best player of all time. ”

"Hehe, so which team do you think can win today's game?"

Jordan smiled slightly: "If the Cavaliers can find a better way to attack, then they should win, otherwise, the Lakers should win." ”

Lakers locker room.

Jordan's voice rang through the TV in the room, and a group of people were staring at the screen.

Because when the ESPN reporter went to interview Jordan, everyone immediately expressed concern.

"Hey, I think Kobe Bryant has surpassed Michael. Seven crowns is definitely more than six crowns, I think Michael just doesn't want to say it. ”

Thackeray, the Lakers' biggest Chemey, immediately expressed a different opinion when he heard Jordan's remarks about the best player of all time.

Thackeray said this, but no one immediately responded, and the dressing room only remembered a good-natured laugh.

Kobe Bryant shook his head and said with a smile: "You haven't played with Michael, you can never appreciate the strength of that guy, he really rules an era. When he is on the court, he always gives people a great sense of oppression, and he is a natural basketball king. During these years, both me, and others, have been chasing him on their way. No one can surpass Michael, who will be a role model for every generation of players to strive for. He is the benchmark, he can only try to get closer, and he will not surpass ......"

When such words came out of Kobe's mouth, a group of young people of the Lakers were a little surprised.

You know, who doesn't know that Kobe Bryant has always wanted to surpass Jordan, but he didn't expect that the truest thoughts in his heart turned out to be like this.

"Everyone should set a higher goal for themselves, just like we all set our eyes on Michael back then, and it was the great generation that was created in the end. I'm sure both Alan Iverson, and everyone else, thinks so. (To be continued.) )
