The 2000-2001 season can be described as a season of sudden changes in the NBA, the 98-99 season, after the boss of the players' guild, Ewing announced the shutdown, for a full 191 days, there were no NBA games, and the entire regular season shrunk.

And that season, the Spurs, who won the championship, didn't attract too much attention, after all, it was just a shrunken season!

Then in the 99-2000 season, the sandfish traveled westward and officially formed the legendary OK combination with the Lakers' Kobe Bryant, and in that year, they killed the Indiana Pacers and won the championship that year.

The following year, this year, in the 2000-2001 season, although the Spurs won the regular season championship, O'Neal's Lakers swept the Spurs in the Western Conference Finals and successfully squeezed into the Finals.

What is unexpected is that in recent years, Allen Iverson, who has become stronger and stronger, actually defeated the Bucks team 4-3 in the Eastern Conference Finals, and the Bucks at that time had the super three musketeers in the league, Ray Allen, Glenn Robinson and Cassel, Tim Thomas and other strong reinforcements, and voted for countless strong teams in the league.

But unfortunately, they finally lost in the hands of AI, just like the James who killed the Pistons and entered the Finals in the future, in an instant, Allen Iverson's name resounded throughout the basketball world, and everyone knew that the 76ers had a stubborn little man, the shortest 'giant', his name was Allen Iverson!

But now, this guy is in front of Jiang Yang, and after following Uncle Mu back to the hotel, Jiang Yang saw this guy.

At this time, the AI is not like Jiang Yang has not been able to play the ball since he entered the league, and now he can be said to be the first person under O'Neal! And when it comes to sensational effects and fans, AI can definitely be regarded as the number one money-absorber in the league now, just like James in later generations, although he also did not win the championship honor, but they have quite a strong appeal, full of tattoos, and braided hair, all showing his surname.

"Hi, Uncle Deacon Bay!" In the corridor, AI saw Uncle Mu and Jiang Yang behind him from afar, but he didn't say hello to Jiang Yang, just said hello to Uncle Mu, and then turned around and left directly.

This made Jiang Yang, who had already raised his hand, very embarrassed...... And Uncle Mu was smiling heartlessly beside him.

"Don't worry too much, he's like that, but on the pitch, he's our striker!" Uncle Mu patted Jiang Yang's shoulder with the big hand that was also the second largest in history, and after listening to Uncle Mu's words, Jiang Yang just smiled helplessly.

He also knows that the AI at this time can be described as not afraid of the sky, not afraid of the earth, and it is not enough to describe his current state if he is unruly, especially when he led the team to the finals, and the current AI is full of ambition and wants to create another career.

Under the escort of Uncle Mu, the All-Star level defensive interior and winner of this year's Defensive Player of the Year, he is confident that he will knock the Lakers alone! As long as Uncle Mu can kill O'Neal, Kobe Bryant, who is competing with him for the leader of the 96 golden generation, is just a chicken, of course, he is the only one who has such thoughts, Jiang Yang knows how powerful Kobe will be in the future.

04 can be regarded as a watershed, after AI slowly withdrew from the stage of history, the Lakers split, and then Kobe Bryant became the first player in the league! But now Kobe's reputation is really worse than Iverson.

"Jiang, you're back, have a good rest, and you have to compete at night!" At this time, the door of a room next to Jiang Yang opened.

Larry Brown, who Jiang Yang was more familiar with, walked out of the room and looked at Aaron Iverson in the distance, Larry Brown didn't even pay attention to him, and just said to Jiang Yang! Now Larry Brown's position in the team is somewhat like Phil Jackson's status in the Lakers, the boss of the team, needless to say, must be Allen Iverson, and everyone else has to give way.

The team's top management is quite concerned about the existence of Ai Iverson, and Larry Brown's coaching philosophy is completely contrary to the AI's offensive routine, he needs a collegiate style of play, requiring players to be selfless and have the opportunity to play again.

The inside and outside lines are more balanced, focusing on defense! But AI is the type that has the possibility to shoot by itself, without a chance, and may have to shoot again if it creates it by itself, but has no chance, and cannot create a chance by itself, and has to shoot, and the defense is almost equal to 0.

In addition to a steal, the AI's height is a small bench behind any player when defending that player.

Someone said that AI can break anyone on the offensive end, but anyone can also blow him on the offensive end!

"Well, it's back!" Jiang Yang looked at Larry Brown and smiled softly, and then opened the door of his room, it was night when he came, so now is the right time to catch up on sleep, and then get ready for the night game! Although there is some time difference, Jiang Yang, who has only been in Toronto for a few days, is actually still in Chinese time, and such time is enough for Jiang Yang to spend an afternoon.

In the evening, the team's staff knocked on Jiang Yang's door, Jiang Yang yawned and followed the team to the Staples Center, this year's finals are extremely hot, first, the location is in Los Angeles, such a big city, players can make headlines if they fart on the field, not to mention that they have reached the finals, and they are still in their home stadium?

So after coming to the stadium, Jiang Yang found that the entire stadium was surrounded by the media, but Jiang Yang was not nervous.

After all, he had only seen this scene for a short time, and the bus, surrounded by the media, came to the parking lot of the stadium.

Then under the escort of the security guards, all the people entered the inside of the stadium from the underground, and then began to warm up and train!

took a look at the current 76ers team, although Jiang Yang basically doesn't know the players of the 76ers now, except for those who have a better history, just like the famous outside defense master in the future, 'throat locker' Laga Bell.

African Mountain, the best defensive player of the year, transferred to the 76ers after the All-Star break, Deacon Bey Mutombo, Uncle Mu! And the shortest giant, this year's All-Star Game MVP, regular season MVP, scoring champion, steal king, AI, Allen Iverson.

In addition, there are many super giants in this year's 76ers! Eric Snow, who can contribute 9.8 points per game, is the sixth man of the year and has won Aaron McGee of the Week once this season.

Tyrone Hill, in his heyday was an All-Star-caliber player for the Cavaliers, one of the most famous coolies of the era.

Todd McCulculott, the main center of the Canadian national team, once played with Nash against China's three centers in the Hong Kong Diamond Cup before the 2000 Olympic Games, and can be described as one of the super big men in the league at that time.

In addition, there are Kevin Ollie, Jumanny Jones, Matt Geiger and other good players to reach the Finals, and the 76ers rely on more than luck! Their own strength is also obvious to all, and with Larry Brown, this is the championship equipment.

And the Lakers' lineup this year can no longer be described as strong, O'Neal needless to say, as well as Kobe, Rick Fox, this guy and Jiang Yang are also old friends, but now he doesn't know Jiang Yang! Hosler Grant, the inside hero of the Bulls' Triple Crown period, is an All-Star level striker, and his lethality is quite terrifying! Little Fish, Derek Fisher!

Key selection, Robin Horry, super No. 1 bench, Devin George, Brian Shaw who came to the Lakers with O'Neal, one of the heroes of the Bulls' three-game championship, Ron Harper, the point guard of the Bulls at the time, and a famous veteran in the league.

Tyronn Lue, a second-rate player in the league, but his own strength is very strong, and it was the battle with AI in this series that allowed him to gain a foothold in the league later! Mad Dog Madsen, the strongest crazy defensive player in the league!

When you defend it, your hand is black and ruthless, and you are targeting, just like Wang Ba who has bitten his fingers, the more you shake it, the tighter he bites.

Greg Foster, an interior bench during the Jazz twins, is also a well-known blue-collar player.

The two teams have similar lineups, and the Lakers have a slight advantage in terms of strength, after all, Uncle Mu can only defend, not attack! The pressure of offense is basically on the AI, but with Jiang Yang, everything is hard to say!

After the warm-up, Jiang Yang and the others returned to the team's locker room together, and after returning to the locker room, Larry Brown talked about today's starting list.

Others don't know Jiang Yang's level, but Larry Brown vaguely feels that if this is not the case, with Jiang Yang's qualifications when he first entered the league, it is estimated that he will be a trick! I don't even think I can even play in a game.

In this way, the 76ers' starting list was set, the center is Dekembe Mutombo, the power forward Tyrone Hill, the small forward Jumanny Jones, the scoring guard Jiang Yang, and the point guard Allen Iverson.

This also made Jiang Yang very depressed, that is, in the competition stage, Jiang Yang endured it, and when he returned to reality, it was Jiang Yang's power! What Brazilian lightning, what Spanish defenders, all of them are not good, in front of Jiang Yang, you must not be a substitute, or get out!

"Jiang, your task today is heavier, you have to help AI on the offensive end, and at the same time, you have to defend Kobe Bryant on the defensive end, and at the same time, you have to help defend O'Neal on the inside!" Although I don't understand why Jiang Yang is under so much pressure, Larry Brown still said what he thought, although Jiang Yang killed Bynum in the finals.

But can Andrew Bynum compare to O'Neal in his current heyday? Are you kidding...... Even if it is impossible to tie Bynum and Gasol together, the surname Suo is just asking Jiang Yang to help defend now.

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!" Jiang Yang looked at Larry Brown and was silent for three seconds, and then said, if he just does a good job in assisting the defense, he is still relatively confident, after all, his strength is there now, and it is not comparable to ordinary people.

"Alright, let's be on their home turf and kick their ass!" Larry Brown stretched out his hand and yelled loudly, in fact, Larry Brown is not a more excited coach, even when he said kicking their ass, he was calm, but he had already killed here, and there was no need for pre-war mobilization or something!

Jiang Yang and the others put their hands together and secretly shouted, then left the team's locker room and went to the court to prepare for the game.

The Lakers players also left the team locker room at this time and entered the arena from the other side, but they had a ceremony! Today, the Lakers' lineup is still the same, center O'Neal, power forward Horace Grant, small forward Rick Fox, scoring guard Kobe Bryant, point guard Derrick Fisher, the lineup is relatively neat.

On June 6, 2001, U.S. time, and June 7, 2001, Yenching time, the first game of the NBA finals officially began under the piercing bell! The orange ball flew high, and Mutombo and O'Neal also jumped up at the same time, at this time Ao Fat is still relatively strong, although Uncle Mu touched the basketball first, but he still let him shoot the basketball to his side, after Kobe Bryant received the ball for the first time, he dribbled directly over the half, facing Jiang Yang in front of him, Kobe Bryant at this time was still relatively immature, after all, he was less than eighteen years old when he entered the league, although on the books, he was eighteen ~ But just think about it, In fact, this is impossible, Kobe Bryant did not graduate from high school, so he participated in the draft.

So this eighteenth is estimated to be about the same age as Yi Jianlian, but one is reported downwards and the other is reported!

Kobe Bryant looked at Jiang Yang in front of him, Jiang Yang was not famous in the league at this time, although he was a little puzzled why the 76ers would let Jiang Yang start to defend himself, but Kobe didn't care too much about Jiang Yang! In his opinion, Jiang Yang is about the same as Aaron McGee! And the latter is much more famous than Jiang Yang! Kobe Bryant thought of this and dribbled straight through.

But as soon as he took the first step, Jiang Yang was stuck in front of him, Kobe Bryant looked at Jiang Yang in front of him and was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that his breakthrough would be sealed at the beginning, and just this stunned, Jiang Yang had already pasted it, and put his hands directly on Kobe's waist, like a couple who were dancing, the man's hand began to move slowly on the woman's waist, but now Jiang Yang's hand was on Kobe's waist, and when he moved, the strength was slowly increasing.

At this time, Bruce Bowen didn't have much reputation, and he just made the second team of the league's best team this year.

His black hand has not yet been carried forward, and Jiang Yang's skills are naturally in the peak state of the intercepted star.

As soon as Jiang Yang's hand was put on Kobe's body, Kobe knew that he was going to be a bad dish! Sure enough, as soon as Jiang Yang's hand was touched, he no longer had the strength to attack! carelessly, holding the ball in both hands, there was no longer a shot, and Jiang Yang saw this opportunity and cut the ball directly.

The right hand cut up directly, Jiang Yang's cut ball was very crisp, and he directly slapped the basketball down, and then Jiang Yang directly picked up the basketball and started to play a fast attack, and when he was on a fast attack, Jiang Yang also saw the speed of AI, and now Jiang Yang's speed is terrible! The physical fitness of the divine bird makes Jiang Yang's speed definitely rank among the league's first-class, but even so, he still started first, and when he ran to the free throw line, he still let the AI catch up, Jiang Yang just started, and he didn't want to come by himself, so he threw the basketball directly into the air, and then followed the AI, directly completed a simple aerial relay with Jiang Yang, and the AI took the ball with one hand and dunked the basketball into the basket, causing boos from the audience! But he didn't care!

"Not bad!" After landing, Iverson's gaze at Jiang Yang also changed, a teammate suddenly appeared, and he also had some worries in his heart, especially this teammate started directly and didn't discuss it with him, which also made him a little unhappy in his heart, originally he also thought that if Jiang Yang's strength was really too stinky, he would force Larry Brown not to let him play at halftime.

But I didn't expect that Jiang Yang had just started the game, and Jiang Yang gave him a big gift, and it seems that Jiang Yang's strength is far more than that! And Jiang Yang just smiled after listening to Allen Iverson's words, and turned back to the half-court defense.

"Don't worry, little brother, give them back!" Seeing Kobe Bryant's first attack being cut off in seconds, O'Neal, who is now the absolute big brother, walked over with his overlord step, patted him on the shoulder, and then the Lakers' offense, Fisher didn't dare to let Kobe come alone, but directly hoisted the ball into the inner line, and after O'Neal took the ball, he turned around and dunked directly!

"S+-level skills, crazy shark rotation, what a bluff......" Seeing that O'Neill directly deducted one on the top of Uncle Mu's head at the beginning, Jiang Yang couldn't help grinning, the current O'Neill is really not something that ordinary people can withstand, but after coming back, AI let Jiang Yang see what is called a footstep leader! I only saw the AI, after directly shaking off the small fish, inserting the inside line, under O'Neal's defense, throwing himself into the sky, just after miraculously avoiding O'Neal's block, picking up the basket, he was like a butterfly in the storm, and the defense of the general three people had no way to limit him.
