In front of the TV, holding potato chips and drinking Coke, Wang Shuo found that in this life, many NBA game details are indeed different from what he remembers.

However, what is interesting is that in the first quarter of the game, Webb and Kobe Bryant still clashed on the court.

On the court, in the process of scrambling for rebounds in the front court, because Kobe and Webb entangled each other, the referee on duty immediately stopped the game.

It stands to reason that at this time, no matter how much Webb and Kobe "like" each other, they should be separated immediately.

But Kobe, who vowed to fight a bloody path for "big brother" O'Neal tonight, threw his arm back several times when he was unentangled with Webb.

Seeing this, Webber, who thought that Kobe Bryant had deliberately hurt people, scolded Kobe Bryant at the first time.

Fortunately, the rest of the Kings stopped Webb in time.

Then, the famous scene came.

After Webber successfully steals Kobe Bryant with an unhappy face, Bibby's chasing three-point knock out of the frame, and Kobe, who turned around to grab the rebound, dribbled to the front court, and forced the two defenders of the King to lose his center of gravity in the air.

In terms of momentum, it was a rather crucial goal.

At the same time, it was also a goal that perfectly demonstrated Bryant's character.

As we all know, children have only waited ten years for revenge, and Kobe Bryant's revenge has always been as fast as he can.

In Bryant's opinion, the reason why he just threw his arm back when he was unentangled with Webb was because Webber had a deliberate move to lock his joints.

At the beginning of the 21st century, the NBA is such an intensity anyway, you have your elbow, I use my joint skills.

On the court, after Bryant hit a free throw, Staples ushered in the first climax of the night.

It's just that as the game goes on, the referee of this game is really a bit of a show-stealing show.

Admittedly, looking at the total number of free throws made by the Lakers and Kings in this series in hindsight, the Lakers don't seem to have eaten the off-court weighting from Stern.

But it's like before Wang Shuo crossed over, a fan of a certain fan firmly believed that the Lakers' sudden increase in free throws after someone knelt down was because the Lakers played more impactful in the subsequent game.

In fact, leaving aside the off-court weighting, this round of the Western Conference Finals in the 01/02 season is not essentially a 5-on-5 series, but "OK" teaming up against the entire Kings.

In order to dismantle the Kings' Princeton system, and at the same time, to allow O'Neal to maximize his power on the offensive end, the Lakers had to make many fouls in this series with the Kings.

Of course, before this G6 game begins, Lakers fans also have something to say.

Because in the G3 game of this series, the Lakers were indeed playing on the road at Staples at the time.

However, you can't deny that in the subsequent G6 game, the Lakers did not eat the off-court weighting from Stern, and in the G7 game, the Lakers did not take advantage of the court at that time.

Because that's just the way it is.

Overall, though, the NBA was relatively fair in terms of competitiveness during the Stern era.

Moreover, the statement that a certain team "depends on the referee" is only possible in the Xiao Hua era in Wang Shuo's memory.

As Wang Shuo said earlier:

Off-court weighting is certainly part of the game of basketball.

But in the Stern era, if you want to win a championship, you have to speak by your ability.

Just like this night, in addition to the off-field weighting, in Wang Shuo's view, the reason why the king's situation is passive is because they didn't play well.

After all, if you really want to say "shady"......

Kings and Lakers fans alike will have to take a good look at the NBA 20 years from now.

In the next 20 years, an unknown creature named Adam Shaw will make all NBA fans understand that the home and away whistles they discussed 20 years ago are simply "nothing".

What "black whistle"?

Compared to the NBA under Adam Shaw, the Super League is considered clean!

On the court, as the game progressed, Wang Shuo was even more convinced in his heart that the Wizards had to prepare to face the Lakers in the finals.

Because compared to the "OK" that has been completely integrated at the moment, the Kings from the coach to the players do not look like a team that is mentally prepared to enter the Finals.

At halftime, Wang Shuo received a call from Mike Brown, in which Brown expressed his concern about O'Neal and Kobe's current state.

"Don't be nervous, Mike." Hearing this, Wang Shuo comforted Brown.

"I'm not nervous, King, I'm ...... For a while, I didn't know how we were going to limit Shaq and Kobe Bryant in the Finals.

I think you're right, the Lakers do have a better chance of making it to the Finals than the Kings. Brown said to Wang Shuo on the phone.

Wang Shuo smiled and said, "Who told you that we have to limit Shaq and Kobe Bryant on the court at the same time?" ”

Brown was a little puzzled and said, "But at present, our tactical drills are not all ......."

Wang Shuo directly interrupted Brown and said, "If you think about it again, in terms of defense, you should be much more professional than me." ”

After seriously thinking about the defensive tactics drills that Wang Shuo had arranged in the training session these days, and roughly deducing the game process between the Wizards and the Lakers, Brown's eyes suddenly lit up, "I understand, Wang, you are really a genius!" ”

In fact, since entering the playoffs, all the training sessions that Wang Shuo usually arranges are centered around the Lakers, an imaginary enemy.

He didn't say it to his three assistants, not because he didn't want to, but because D'Antoni, Brown, and Malone were usually responsible for different training contents.

As the head coach of the team, what Wang Shuo needs to do is to control the overall situation, rather than doing every detail himself.

Of course, if the trajectory of history does shift and the Kings finally reach the Finals, the Wizards' training sessions these days can also be said to be preparing for the Kings.

Because neither the Kings nor the Lakers.

The Wizards will have two natural advantages against them.

One is Michael Jordan.

One is the reserve of forward personnel.

In Wang Shuo's view, neither the Kings nor the Lakers have players who can compete with Jordan in the real sense.

The super macho Christie is not heavy enough, as long as Jordan can sit in the low position, no matter how fierce he is, he will be useless.

The Kings could consider using Webb to defend Jordan, but in that case, they can only hope that Gasol will save more face for the old comrade Divac.

As for the Lakers......

The only Lakers team that can compete with Jordan is Kobe Bryant.

The speed of the old Horry is too slow, and the 39-year-old boss Qiao can even have a speed advantage when he beats him.

Fox is fierce off the field, but here's the problem, Boss Joe is not one of those blondes who will work with him in the future!

And what about Kobe?

No, it doesn't.

Because of the regular season, the Wizards have proven that Kobe Bryant can't prevent Boss Joe.

In terms of experience, the 39-year-old Jordan is simply a dimensionality reduction blow to the current Kobe.

In terms of technology, even if the peak Kobe Bryant comes, he has to shout Master.

Compared with the thickness of the elbow and the size of the model, Kobe Bryant could only look at Jordan's big hands and shoulder width and tears.

In Wang Shuo's previous life, Kobe Bryant was indeed able to use offense to blow up this elderly Joe.

But......

Will the Wizards use Jordan to defend Kobe Bryant in the Finals?

Apparently not.

Therefore, this is also why in the eyes of Brown and others, Kobe Bryant did not have a strong relationship at all.

Because the Wizards, or only this Wizards, can do it, so that Kobe Bryant can't defend on the court, and he can't use his offense to make up for it.

In fact, from the very beginning, he Wang Shuo didn't plan to hide it.

It's just that Mike Brown was inexperienced at this time, which caused him to fail to keep up with Wang Shuo's rhythm in the first place.

On the evening of the 31st, 97-102, after "OK" teamed up to defend the Staples Center for the Lakers, they will travel to Sacramento on June 2 to play the final tie-break with the Kings.

In this game, O'Neal was 17-of-28 from the field, including 12-of-18 from the free throw line, totaling 46 points and 19 rebounds for the Lakers.

Bryant, on the other hand, shot 11-of-22, including free throws and three-pointers, for a total of 34 points, plus 10 rebounds and six assists for the Lakers.

"OK" played better on this night than Wang Shuo remembers.

But what puzzled Wang Shuo was......

Why is the Lakers' total score lower than he remembers?

The next day, the Los Angeles press was raving about the "OK" performance, calling it the greatest inside-outside combination the NBA has ever seen.

At Wang Shuo's suggestion and Jordan's instructions, the Washington media was frantically bombarding the Lakers' 40 free throws in the G6 game.

As a competitor at the moment, Wang Shuo will not be a virgin, and he will not let go of the off-the-field weighting that he does not want in vain.

Although, in the face of the bombardment of the Washington media, the Los Angeles media quickly responded with the 35 free throws that the Kings received at that time in the G3 game.

But the prepared Washington media scoffed at the Los Angeles media's statement through group after group of photos of Kobe Bryant elbowing on the court: "We are going to watch a basketball game, not WWE!" ”

Admittedly, this kind of picture of players making too big defensive moves on the court will only be more, bloodier and more brutal in this martial arts wizards.

Can......

The next day, before the Los Angeles media could sort out the "incriminating evidence" of the curious talents, the torture of the New York media pressed down on them like an Adam-heavy hammer falling from the sky.

As the talkers of the East and West of the United States, the first and second largest cities in the United States, in the eyes of the arrogant New Yorkers, as long as it is a topic of Los Angeles, then they must help!

The Los Angeles media, which is hard to beat with two fists and four hands, is completely out of action at this time.

Because compared to the Washington media, which is still reasonable, the New York media will be reasonable?

Joke!

Even if you're white, the New York media can dye you black and make you black.

In addition, in the past two years, the Lakers have formed a monopoly on the NBA......

So for a while, when the majority of neutral fans were successfully led to the rhythm and knew that the Lakers still had to rely on the whistle to win, the Lakers became the public enemy of the entire NBA almost overnight!

Yes, even on the evening of the 31st, no matter how good the performance of "OK" is, at this moment, people will not be able to see it.

And in stark contrast to it......

is a wizard who took the initiative to carry the banner of rebellion against the Lakers' rule!

On the 2nd, before the start of the seven-game between the Kings and the Lakers, according to opinion polls, the proportion of fans who support the Wizards to win the championship this season has reached an astonishing 80%.

"How is it only 80%? Are the other 20% all abstaining? On this day, during a massage with Jordan, Wang Shuo said with a depressed face.

Hearing this, Jordan immediately rolled his eyes at Wang Shuo.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!

In fact, even when he made his first comeback, Jordan didn't think that the Chicago Bulls could have such a high approval rating at that time.

In his eyes, Wang Shuo is simply a propaganda wizard.

You say you're the kind of person......

Why did you come to the NBA as a head coach?

"David will definitely be on our side in the finals." Jordan said to Wang Shuo.

Wang Shuo shook his head and said, "I feel that David Stern is more likely to leave the game to the two sides of the game to decide the winner by themselves." ”

Jordan felt that Wang Shuo had a point, and said, "But that's enough, we don't need to rely on the referee to win." ”

After a pause, while waving his hand to signal the uniformed massage girl to step down, Jordan said to Wang Shuo: "But I still don't understand, why is it in your 'plan'......

You don't want us to fight for more off-court weighting for ourselves. ”

Looking at the back of the young lady who was dismissed by Boss Qiao, Wang Shuo said after smiling: "Michael, remember one sentence, it's counterproductive." ”

Jordan touched his chin and thought seriously for a while before saying, "Okay." I trust your judgment, and I am indeed inferior to you when it comes to publicity. ”

After another pause, Jordan suddenly turned his head to Wang Shuo and said, "I thought you were really the kind of ascetic who likes to torture yourself, since you also like to enjoy life, then next time, I will take you to a more interesting place." ”

Wang Shuo: "......"

At this moment, Wang Shuo, who blushed his face, wanted to quibble.

But the battle-hardened Boss Qiao saw that he was by no means a novice.

Scold.

It's all a thousand-year-old fox, what else are you playing and chatting?

……

On the 2nd, in the capital of California, although the process was completely different from Wang Shuo's memory, with the outstanding performance of "OK" once again scoring 78 points in the game, the Lakers still managed to win the California Civil War, and at the same time, it was also the last game of this round of Western Finals.

The final score of this Western Conference tiebreaker was 108-102.

On the court, at the moment of the end of the game, Webb, Bibbe, Christie, Divac and Peja, who missed the Western Finals due to injury, all looked lonely.

This is the NBA.

Only one team can have the last laugh every year.

For the Kings, it's hard to tell if they've been successful or not.

But no matter how Kings fans review it afterwards, the Kings in the 01/02 season did miss the opportunity to win the championship again after 50 years.

And what about the Lakers?

After the game, when O'Neal and Kobe Bryant dragged their tired bodies back to the locker room and sat down with their backs to each other, at this moment, even if there are a thousand words, it is difficult to describe the mood of the two.

But anyway......

After successfully getting a ticket to the Finals, the Los Angeles Lakers will attack the dynasty!

The summer of '02 is destined to be lively.

Although most people around the world talk more about the South Korea-Japan World Cup, which has already begun, in the United States......

At least in the United States in 02, people are more concerned about who can win this year, the Wizards and the Lakers!

On the 4th, the Wizards ended the team's last practice session that afternoon.

Compared with usual, in this training session, even Nesby and Jones, who were excluded from the team's playoff squad, are helping the players who train on the field to actively pick up the ball.

NBA Finals.

How many basketball players have never been able to reach the stage in their lifetimes?

For Gasol, who was still thinking about whether he could make a name for himself in the NBA in Barcelona a year ago, he is very convinced, just like Wang Shuo said to everyone at the end of this training session:

This trip to the finals is a unique opportunity.

From Chicago to Washington, it took only one year for Atay to spread his murderous name all over the United States, as Wang Shuo said:

The future is too far away, we only strive for the present!

When the dream of competing side by side with his idol in the finals became a reality, Richard Hamilton, even if he wore a mask, could not hide the excitement written on his face at the moment.

Is there anything in this world that is worth risking your life for? In Hamilton's view, the finals that will start tomorrow are a great cause for which he will give his life!

Recalling Wang Shuo's usual good practices to himself, silently placing the basketballs back into place after training, Arenas smiled stupidly while looking at his right hand:

The NBA's best shooter, Gilbert Arenas.

When Gerard Wallace was on the bench in Sacramento for the first time in the NBA, if you told him that it wouldn't be long before he would become the face of AJ, that he would be famous in the United States, and that he would even reach the Finals with the team, he would tell you:

Don't make a fuss, brother, it's only daytime, what are you dreaming about?

But for now, Wallace just wants to say:

Even in the next round of the finals, he can only wave towels for his teammates on the sidelines, serve tea and water, he is willing!

After finishing practice and meeting his teammates to meet tomorrow, Brandon Haywood, who has long been affectionately known as "Hell's Roar" by Wizards fans, continued to brainwash himself repeatedly until he went out:

Don't be afraid of O'Neal, you're the "Shark Terminator", Brandon!

Looking at Atay, Jackson, who had a good time with him after training, looked up at the dome of the training hall and sighed:

Mom, did you know that your son is going to the NBA Finals tomorrow!

There was also Jefferson, who left the training hall with Crawford, and before parting, looking at Crawford who was a little nervous, Jefferson said: "Isn't it the NBA Finals?" What's the big deal? ”

Turning to look at Jefferson, at his still trembling hands, Crawford smiled, "Really? But why do I see you're trembling too? ”

Jefferson said with a strong and calm face, "I...... I'm shaking just because I'm excited, and like the manager said, we have to be excited on the pitch all the time. ”

On the eve of the decisive battle, the time waiting for the decisive battle is destined to be difficult.

At the regular press conference before the game, Wang Shuo, who had changed his previous high-profile, did not say anything cruel before the game.

Because this round of the upcoming finals can't be changed with one or two harsh words.

Wang Shuo was sure that the Wizards were ready.

Now, just wait for the finals to officially kick off!

……

On the evening of the 5th, the MCI Center in Washington.

Looking at the Lakers players who had been in the stadium for nearly 10 minutes to warm up, in the stands, the Wizards fans who were looking left and right asked suspiciously:

What about our players?

It wasn't until the on-site staff ran back and forth to remind them that the Wizards fans who were there tonight found out that each of them had a small card hidden under their seats and a white T-shirt.

When I opened the card, I saw that it was written:

Please be patient for a while, the Wizards will be hosting a special entrance ceremony tonight.

At 8:25 p.m. local time in Washington, a pre-made video began to play on the big screen of the MCI Center, as the spotlights turned off one by one:

In the picture, I saw an old man worrying about his pickup truck with a broken engine, and at this moment, a handsome black guy who happened to pass by stepped forward to ask, and through the old man's answer, people knew that he was rushing to see the Wizards and Lakers Finals, but now that the car is broken, he doesn't know what to do.

"I've never missed a game for the Wizards (including the Bullets) since 1975, am I going to miss tonight?" The old man said with a depressed face.

Touching his chin, the handsome black guy took out a ticket for the finals from his trouser pocket and said: "It's just right, I'm also going to watch the finals, it doesn't matter if the car breaks down, I know a shortcut, as long as we run, we can reach the stadium in 20 minutes at most." ”

Hearing this, the old man pointed to his legs, which had begun to deteriorate severely, and said, "But I am 80 years old this year, and I am not sure if I will be able to finish this distance." ”

Seeing this, the handsome black guy encouraged him: "The game hasn't started yet, if you give up now, then the game is really over!" ”

And so, in the company of the handsome black guy, the old man began his run to the MCI center.

Then, the screen turns, in a burger restaurant, after getting ready to close work, for the past 20 years, John Sr., who has always pushed John Jr., who was unable to walk due to a car accident 20 years ago, to watch the Wizards game on game day, is also in trouble.

"Damn, I remember I checked it yesterday, why did it fail again today?" Looking at his car, which couldn't be started no matter what, and then turning his head to look at his precious son, Johnson Sr.'s expression began to become more and more impatient.

"Hey, sir, do you need help?" At this time, a sturdy black guy who happened to pass by stepped forward and asked.

"My car broke down...... But I need to get to the MCI center now, oh, damn it. Old John said with a sad face.

"Are you going to the finals? It's not far from the MCI Center, and I often walk this way to see the ball. He took out a ticket for the finals from his trouser pocket, and said the sturdy black guy who was also going to watch the finals.

"I live here, and of course I know it's not far from the MCI center, but ...... But my son, 20 years ago, lost the ability to walk independently, and I ...... You see, I'm already a bad old man. Old John said helplessly.

Hearing this, after smiling, the sturdy black guy said, "What's the big deal?" If you believe me, please let me carry him on my back and let's run together! I think it's just in time! ”

Looking at this sturdy black guy with sincerity written on his face, Old John said, "This ...... Is this really okay? ”

He opened the car door with Old John, and carried Little John behind him, and the sturdy black guy said, "Let's go, let's go now!" ”

In fact, as early as the first video played, the Wizards fans at the scene recognized that the first handsome black guy who ran to the MCI center with the old man was Richard Hamilton among the Wizards players who had been thinking about the Wizards tonight but had never appeared on the scene.

And the second place is none other than Ron Artest.

At the scene, with the video playback one after another, after the first eleven videos were played, when the twelfth video was played, there was a sudden exclamation from the MCI center!

Because in the picture, as Michael Jordan appeared on the stage in a courier costume, he went door-to-door to deliver tickets to the Finals for those Wizards fans who had purchased season packages, following Jordan's pace, fans from all over Washington behind him, with the perspective raised, suddenly converged into a paragraph of English letters:

I love basketball!

At the same time, at the MCI Center, the Wizards players who appeared in the video before also appeared in order, one by one!

And, they were all surrounded by the fans who had appeared with them in the video earlier.

You know, these fans are not extras hired by the Wizards, but Wizards diehards in the true sense!

Among them, the youngest Stewart's parents have been holding season tickets to the Wizards (including the predecessor Bullets) for 28 years.

In fact, of all the videos played by the Wizards tonight, only the last one, the English alphabet composed of human traffic, was synthesized by computer post-production.

Although, in terms of storyline, these twelve videos played by the Wizards tonight are old-fashioned.

But when the main character of a real Wizards player and those Wizards diehards appeared one by one, the MCI Center, God knows how many Wizards fans shed tears at this moment.

At this moment, the Washington Wizards have truly connected with the fans in a sense.

In New York, David Stern was shocked.

Because this is the first time he has seen such an empathetic promotional video since he took charge of the league!

In particular, the home DJ at the MCI Center introduced basketball fans from all over the world to the Wizards fans featured in the video and the number of years of Wizards tickets they hold......

Almost subconsciously, Stern remembered the phrase he used to say.

Basketball will be nothing without the fans.

At the MCI Center, when Jordan, dressed as a courier, appeared in the players' tunnel, at this moment, the entire arena fell into a complete frenzy!

And the Lakers are on the bench.....

The Lakers players who have long been stunned, and the "Zen master" who feels like he has never seen the world at all after tonight are obviously a little confused.

But......

The "old rascal" has another surprise to give to the world.

On the court, after high-fiveing his teammates one by one, I saw Michael Jordan rushing straight to the technical table, and after jumping onto the technical table, he rolled the magazine out of nowhere into a microphone shape, crossed his waist with one hand, and said: "I love basketball!" ”

I love basketball!

A very simple word.

But at this moment, as this sentence came out of Jordan's mouth, almost instantly, the fans at the scene and in front of the TV were like crazy and began to chant indulgently: "I love basketball!" ”

Even on the Lakers' bench, looking at Jordan's back, Kobe Bryant couldn't help but shed tears of excitement and began to chant along: "I love basketball!" ”

Phil Jackson is stupid.

It's really stupid.

Because when have you ever seen the expression of his chin that is about to fall to the floor?

Before the start of this round of the Finals, Jackson had envisioned various ways for the Wizards to gain weight off the court.

But he definitely didn't think about it......

The wizards actually played so big, and they played so real!

'Tonight, I know, there are a lot of fans who won't be able to come.

But I believe that your power has been conveyed to us!

Tonight, we will fight for us and your love! ”

At the scene, after taking the microphone from the host, Jordan's words at the moment can be said to hit the hearts of Wizards fans.

No doubt.

After this real opening ceremony......

The "people" of this round of the series have completely fallen to the Wizards!

Coupled with the fact that in this round of the 232-format Finals, the Wizards, who have a better regular season record, will have home-court advantage.

And, right now, fans across the U.S. are looking forward to the day when the Wizards can win......

Wang Shuo, who has no last resort, has already accumulated a huge advantage for the Wizards before the official start of this round of finals!

These advantages cannot be seen or touched.

But they will definitely become the most solid backing for the Wizards in this round of the finals.

On the court, after a brief shooting warm-up, with the big screen giving the starting list of the two teams tonight, the NBA Finals in the 01/02 season is about to start!

Lakers: O'Neal, Horry, Fox, Kobe, Fisher.

Wizards: Gasol, Jordan, Artey, Hamilton, Arenas.

Looking at the Wizards' starting list tonight, people can't help but be a little confused.

Because Gasol's presence in the starting lineup means that the Wizards won't start tonight with the same regular-season season as they did.

But how do these people know......

The reason why the Wizards opened the regular season with the shark just to buy Jordan time to rest?

Now, after sufficient rest and adjustment, Jordan in the finals, Wang Shuo does not plan to "save a little".

In the center of the field, Gasol and O'Neal jump ball to start the game.

O'Neal, who had just finished the tie-break, was obviously still a little heavy in his legs, and in the jump ball link, Gasol made a successful sneak attack, and the Wizards had the ball.

On the field, after spreading out at 122 positions, Gasol rose to the top to receive the ball.

Seeing this, O'Neill reluctantly followed out after scolding "damn stinky curly" in his heart.

Jordan sat low along the left side of the court.

In order to interfere with Jordan's catch, Kobe's elbow was always on Jordan, but after Jordan jerked and opened his elbow, Kobe Bryant couldn't stop Jordan from getting the basketball from Gasol.

This kind of low-level ball with fists to the flesh has basically disappeared from the league before Wang Shuo crosses.

In the low position, after swiping to the left, Jordan suddenly turned over to the right.

Kobe, who was numb by Jordan's scalp, couldn't tell what Jordan would turn over, so he simply moved forward directly to compress Jordan's ball-holding space.

However, at this moment, Jordan suddenly shot against Kobe.

On the sidelines, Wang Shuo, who saw this scene, only felt that watching Jordan play and watching other people play were simply two different experiences.

Because of this man, he is so handsome and tough even when he makes fouls!

Hmmm——!

Beep ——!

On the court, Jordan scored the whistle and had to be penalized!

Kobe, who was tricked into a foul by Jordan, was not aggrieved, that is, ......

When Jordan landed, his chest hurt a little from Jordan's elbow.

At the free throw line, the Lakers possessed the ball after Jordan made a free throw.

O'Neal, who had just been pulled to a high position by Gasol, found a chance for revenge.

Although this ball, when receiving the ball, Gasol managed to make O'Neill work more hard to get the ball by going around the front.

But after O'Neal got the ball, Gasol couldn't do anything about him.

Fortunately, O'Neal, who had just finished the tie-break, knew that he had to save his energy tonight, so he did not choose a violent dunk on the top of Gasol's head, but chose a ......

Unremarkable under-the-basket playing.

Come back, Wizards ball possession.

This time Boss Joe was in trouble when he sank into the low position.

Facing Kobe Bryant, who was pulling and dragging, Jordan simply stood in place after opening his arm twice in a row to no avail, and motioned to Gasol to hoist the ball to him.

In order to pass the ball smoothly to Jordan, Gasol deliberately chose a route that could bypass Kobe.

But in order to get around Kobe, the ball was obviously passed a little wide.

But just when people thought that the basketball would fly directly out of the sideline, they saw Boss Qiao holding the moon with one arm, and he controlled the ball from the air with one hand!

In the future, due to Boss Qiao's overly well-proportioned figure, people will forget that he is also a monster with an arm span.

And anyone with a little basketball knowledge should know it......

On the basketball court, arm span is not the only factor that determines a player's model.

For a basketball player, shoulder width is even more important than arm span.

So now the question arises......

When a player has the best shoulder width, arm span, and even palm size for the same body type......

Just how terrifying is his static talent on the pitch?

Hmmm——!

On the court, the moment he controlled the ball with one hand, Jordan was seen to directly face Kobe Bryant and launch his second attack of the night.

At this moment, no matter how high Kobe jumped, he couldn't touch Jordan's fully open shooter!

On the bench of the Lakers, the "Zen master" who saw this scene was somewhat sad.

Because in those countless days and nights of the bull, God knows how many times he had seen something like this tonight?

It was the Lakers' turn to attack.

This time, the Wizards switched to the defensive defense and successfully disrupted the rhythm of the Lakers' game.

On the right side of the court, seeing that O'Neal failed to fall into the low post at the first time, Kobe Bryant took the initiative to ask for the ball, trying to share some offensive pressure on his "good brother".

Kobe Bryant played this ball very smartly, and knowing that Atay was not good at biting, he took the initiative to play a single frame frame, and planned to use his advantage in speed to solve Atay.

But on the front foot, Kobe Bryant just shook Atai, and on the back foot, he just bothered to break through with his head buried in the arms of Boss Joe.

Jordan unceremoniously snatched the basketball away from Kobe's small hands with his big hands.

In front of the TV, because the live broadcast position happened to give Jordan a close-up at this time......

So when Maddie saw Kobe's little hands desperately trying to get the basketball back, Kobe's best friend couldn't help but laugh.

Well robbed, Danshen!

Turning around, Kobe, who was very angry, immediately retaliated against Jordan in various physical senses.

But Jordan didn't eat him.

On the court, after noticing that Hamilton had been ambushed in the bottom right corner of the court with the help of Atai's cover, Jordan quickly transferred the ball to Hamilton's hand with one hand under Kobe's death glare.

It turns out that just because your kidneys are good doesn't necessarily mean that your legs and feet are good.

Fox clearly couldn't keep up with Hamilton.

Hmmm——!

Mask Superman in the right bottom corner of the three-pointer!

2 to 8!

Affected by the tie-break with the Kings, the Lakers' defensive rating tonight is far from their best, at least for now.

On the sidelines, Wang Shuo felt that if the Wizards couldn't win the Lakers in this game, then he could ask Mike Malone to be his mischief after the game.

Coming back, the Lakers attacked.

Although O'Neal carried Gasol to score under the basket.

But this "shark" is significantly less domineering than it used to be.

In the first quarter of the game, when entering the first official timeout, "Zen Master" took the initiative to replace O'Neal, and only Kobe Bryant was retained to lead the team on the court.

"Is he planning to save his strength in this match?" On the Wizards' bench, watching the substitution adjustments made by the Lakers, Mike Malone asked.

"No, to be precise, it should be called to call first." Wang Shuo said with a smile.

Ma Long was a little puzzled, "What do you mean by playing and seeing?" ”

Wang Shuo replied: "It's to see if Kobe Bryant can lead the team to stabilize the situation, and if he can, then replace Shaq to cooperate with the offense."

If you can't, then just let 'OK' rest more in this game and wait for the second game. ”

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!

In Wang Shuo's previous life, after tying seven with the Kings, in the G1 match of the finals with the Nets, Phil Jackson did just that.

It's just that the Nets are too stretched...... So the "Zen Master" who felt that he could win directly did the opposite, and successfully won the G1 battle with the Nets through the death of OK.

"So what are we going to do?" Malone asked.

Wang Shuo patted him on the shoulder and said, "Since the Lakers want to give us a victory so much, then why don't we laugh at it?" ”

If it's playing against another team......

Phil Jackson can also expect Kobe Bryant to stabilize the situation for the Lakers with a wave of outbursts on the court.

But to beat this Wizards......

In the second half of the first quarter, in order to strengthen Kobe's defense, Wang Shuo directly replaced Hamilton with Stephen Jackson.

As a result......

Bryant was completely stunned.

Because he passed Atay, and Jordan.

After Jordan, and Jackson.

You say he voted...... It's not that you can't vote.

It's this hit rate, which may be a little touching.

But he didn't vote, pass it on......

On the court, Fisher, who couldn't even pass Arenas, used his performance of 3 shots and 0 in the first quarter tonight to continue the stereotype that Lakers fans had formed about him in the previous Western Conference finals:

Rubbish...... Sure enough, it's waste.

Fox performed slightly better, shooting 0-of-2 in the first quarter, relying on free throws to slash 1 point and 2 rebounds for the Lakers.

Horry Sr. may really have to take the blame this game, because he wasted two open three-point opportunities that Kobe Bryant passed to him.

As for Samaki Walker, who came on as a substitute for O'Neal......

On the Lakers' bench, looking at Pau Gasol, who suddenly turned into Wilt Chamberlain on the Lakers' interior line, O'Neal couldn't figure it out, is this Spanish little curly so difficult to prevent?

Sitting off the field, O'Neill became more and more anxious the more he sitted.

It's not because Kobe Bryant hit the court again and again......

It's just because, as the first quarter of the game progressed, O'Neal discovered something terrifying.

That's compared to the king......

The overall strength of this wizard is even more terrifying!

"Didn't they give it their all when they played us in the regular season?" O'Neill thought to himself, confused.

Unfortunately, O'Neill got it right.

In the regular season, in the two games against the Lakers, Wang Shuo strictly controlled the playing time of the main personnel in the team.

And, unlike other teams.

This season, after continuous upgrades, the current Wizards are no longer the Wizards when they played against the Lakers in February.

Although in the eyes of the outside world, this is a "single-core team" led by Michael Jordan.

But in fact......

In Wang Shuo's eyes, this is obviously a luxury warship composed of "four and a half giants".

As for why it's four and a half......

Mainly because Arenas can't be called a giant this season.

On the court, the first quarter ended, 20-34.

Boss Joe, who played the first quarter tonight, scored 8 points, 3 rebounds, and 2 assists for the Wizards in a single quarter.

After O'Neal went off the court, Gasol, who became the overlord of the interior, also scored 7 points, 4 rebounds, and 2 assists.

Atay, who spent most of his time playing against Kobe, hit two key three-pointers for the Wizards in addition to defense.

On the other hand, the Lakers ......

Excluding O'Neal's eight points in the first half and Bryant's six points in return with nine shots......

The rest of the Lakers players combined for just six points.

It may be a bit ugly to say that.

But the performance of the rest of the Lakers' players tonight is really better than going to the CBA All-Star Game of this period to pull a few CBA stars over.

During the interval, looking at O'Neill, who had a strong desire to fight, he saw the "Zen master" say to him: "I can send you to play, but you must control your physical fitness......

Otherwise, we really won't have a chance at all in this series! ”

Looking down at Phil Jackson's cheeks full of anxiety, this is the first time O'Neal has seen this "KFC spokesperson" so gaffe.

Through tonight's first quarter of the game, the "Zen Master" has already guessed Wang Shuo's tactics.

That's ......

In this series, the Wizards probably didn't think about how to defend O'Neal at all.

Instead, they focused their entire defensive focus on Kobe Bryant and other Lakers players.

"Without Kobe's fire support, no matter how strong Shaq is, he can't escape the fate of being swept away.

And with a little bit of a look at the rest of the Lakers, we can get a lot more than we can focus on Shaq.

Chisel it for him, I want to see how much he weighs us, how many points he can chisel us! Looking back at his three assistants, Wang Shuo said calmly.

"I'm curious...... When did you come up with this tactic that could beat the Lakers? D'Antoni asked.

Wang Shuo thought for a moment, "Probably...... From my first day as a coach of the Wizards. ”

Hearing this, after being stunned for a moment, and then stunned, although the three Mikes felt that all this was very unreasonable, if it happened to Wang Shuo, they felt that it was extremely reasonable.

It's not easy to beat this Lakers team.

Otherwise, do you really think that he Wang Shuotun has so many flanking macho men, just to watch them abuse Pierce for fun?

02 Lakers, no matter how hard you rack your brains, among the "OK", you can only choose one to target.

In Wang Shuo's memory, the Spurs chose O'Neal, but failed.

The king was even more desperate, they wanted both, but no one could prevent it.

Wang Shuo knows very well that in terms of technical completion and physical function, the current Kobe is not the Kobe who can score 81 points in a single game.

So, this is the only thing the Wizards can possibly restrict.

And this is also the reason why in addition to Heywood, Wang Shuo didn't even bother to find other inside meat shields.

Because no matter how good O'Neill can play.

His weight and his fitness are all dictated, and after a 40-point bang, he will become "short and weak".

MCI Center, the Wizards couldn't afford to miss the opportunity the Lakers gave them for nothing this night.

At the end of the fourth quarter, the scoreboard was 96-118.

The Wizards managed to get their start to the Finals!

In the whole game, 11 of 18 shots, including free throws, the Wizards' total of 28 points, 6 rebounds, and 5 assists Boss Joe is undoubtedly the team's number one contributor to the victory.

In addition to Boss Joe, Gasol and Hamilton also had 18 points, 10 rebounds, 6 assists and 19 points and 3 rebounds, respectively.

In addition, Artey, Arenas, and Jackson also scored 11, 12, and 10 points.

If you add Crawford and Jefferson, who scored 9 points each, the Wizards' offensive firepower distribution on this night can only be described as a hundred flowers.

As for the Lakers......

Although O'Neal played leisurely, he still lived up to expectations and scored 38 points and 18 rebounds for the Lakers......

Although Kobe Bryant, who is a bit iron, after slamming 29 times, he got back 29 points and 9 rebounds for the Lakers.

But this night, in addition to OK, only the other Lakers players with Horry Sr. scoring double-doubles, let alone helping "OK" on the court......

As long as they can miss a few people, the physically strong Kobe Bryant will not only be able to pick 29 times.

In order to ensure that the main players do not consume too much in the G1 battle, in this game, what Lynch Hunter, Brian Shaw, Mark Madson, Stanislav Hyde, I am afraid that even the Lakers' own fans may not remember the names of the players, the "Zen Master" let them play a lot of time.

But the result?

In a total of 41 minutes of playing time, the "Four Heavenly Kings" combined their scores are not even as good as Crawford, who won the "ghost card" on the Wizards' side tonight!

Now, the "Zen Master" is really unlicensed to play.

Compared with the Western Duel, he was forced to open the ultimate move after the battle of Tianwang Mountain.

After the G1 game of the Finals, Phil Jackson already looked at O'Neal and Kobe Bryant with an affectionate face.

Shaq, Kobe.

Let's do it harder!

Work harder......

Maybe, we'll win the championship!
