When Riley and Mourning fall apart, when these two guys no longer trust each other as much as they used to.

When Payton decided to support Mourning to the end, and for the sake of his career, he did not participate in the next day's training, and put on civilian clothes and sat in the audience early.

When the team fell behind 0:3, the team boss also had an argument with the manager.

When all of the above things happen at the same time, the morale of any team will fall to the bottom, and their resistance and combat effectiveness will definitely not be as good as their usual 70%!

Tonight's Heat team, almost no resistance, in the face of the Pacers' round after round of fierce attacks, the Heat only symbolically resisted for a while in the opening stage, and soon surrendered!

They can't attack, and they can't defend against it!

The players' minds were all off the pitch, everyone was already thinking about the offseason, thinking about going out on vacation after losing tonight, but not a single one was thinking about playing.

At the end of the first half, the game was completely spent!

31：55！

The defeated Heat team was already 24 points behind by the end of the first half!

Then in the third quarter, they lost by another 12 points, and by the end of the third quarter, they were already 36 points behind!

The entire fourth quarter of the game turned into garbage time!

It turned into a show for both role players!

The lost Miami fans, halfway through the fourth quarter, began a mass exit, and when the Pacers finally won the victory and began the Eastern Conference championship award ceremony, there were still 3-4,000 fans left in the scene.

The rest went home early.

4：0！

The Pacers, for the third consecutive series, swept their opponents!

They have already run an astonishing 11-game winning streak in the playoffs!

Next up, their goal is to win 15 in a row!

They're going to win the playoffs!

And the Heat's non-resistance in this game, if there is any positive effect.

That's Lin Tian's data!

Lin Tian's record of scoring 40+ points in 7 consecutive games in the playoffs has finally been broken!

In this game, Lin Tian only played 26 minutes and only scored 25 points, although there were still 13 rebounds and 14 assists, but obviously, Indiana fans didn't care about triple-doubles, they wanted Lin Tian to continue his 40+ journey.

It's a pity that the Heat team didn't resist, making it difficult for Lin Tian to score high points.

He left the game early, which made the fans disappointed!

On the contrary, Lin Tian himself didn't care about these things at all!

"40 points in 8 games in a row? That's pretty good, but it's nothing compared to sweeping your opponents! I care more about the team 4:0 than about 40 points in a row! ”

"Playing only 26 minutes means we won with a lot of ease, it means we didn't break a sweat to win the game! Maybe the fans don't like it and find it boring, but for me, I prefer such easy games and I hope the rest of the games will be like this! ”

"As for the lore and anti-lore, it's quite interesting to watch other teams on TV, so let's forget it! We just want to win four more games and be the overall champion this year! ”

"You ask me, who would I rather meet in the finals? And how many games are left this season? ”

"The answer to the first question is that I don't care, no matter who comes, the result is the same! We're going to kill them! ”

"As for the second question, it's 4! We will use 4 more games to win the finals, win the O'Brien Cup, and become the first championship of the 21st century! ”

“3，4，4，4！”

"That's what we're aiming for this season!"

After defeating the Heat, Lin Tian made an extremely arrogant statement at the Eastern Conference Championship Award Ceremony after the game! A rhetoric that doesn't take the Trail Blazers and Lakers to heart at all!

Well, it didn't elicit much of a splash.

In other words, this bold statement still caused a wave of discussion among Pacers fans and major media, newspapers, and TV programs across the United States, but the two parties involved, the Trail Blazers and the Lakers, the two teams that were directly ordered by Lin Tian, did not react at all.

No time, no mood!

The duel between these two teams has reached a white-hot stage!

In the first four games, the Lakers had an absolute advantage, and they took a 3-1 lead.

But in the next battle of Tianwang Mountain in Los Angeles, although O'Neal exploded 31 points and 21 rebounds, his teammates had no choice but to pull across the board, Kobe Bryant shot 4 of 13, Rice shot 1 of 8, Rick Fox, Brian Shaw, Robert Horry, Derrick Fisher, AC Green, the five major benches gave a terrible shooting rate of 6 of 26.

With almost the entire team undercover except for O'Neal, the Lakers lost a very ugly game at home! The Trail Blazers brought the game back to Portland and got a chance to live!

Then came to Portland, and the united Trail Blazers certainly won't let the opportunity to fight back be wasted! Rashid 18 points, Smith 26 points, Stoudemire 14 points and 7 assists, Sabonis 10 points and 11 rebounds, plus Wells who came off the bench to score 20 points!

The Trail Blazers once again played their signature wolf pack tactics and beat the Lakers to death!

On the Lakers' side, as if they had discussed, Kobe Bryant finally broke out this time, scoring 33 points, but it was O'Neal's turn to pull the crosser, he only scored 17 points in the whole game, and only 3 of 10 free throws!

In addition, although the rest of the players have played, they are still not excellent, and the Lakers have lost two games in a row! 3:1 good situation, they were dragged by the Trailblazers to the battle of life and death!

win or go home！

The Western Conference finals have reached the stage that all fans want to see the most!

The ultimate tie-breaker is being held in Los Angeles as scheduled!

But for Los Angeles fans, the start of the night was not so wonderful!

The Trail Blazers adjusted their tactics again in the game and continued to tighten the restrictions on O'Neal, they used a half-winding way to block the connection between O'Neal and his teammates, not allowing him to catch the ball, and as long as he got the basketball, the double or even three-person package would be killed immediately, not giving O'Neal any 1-on-1 chance!

It's a crazy bag! Just don't let you O'Neal play comfortably!

At the same time, Scott Pippen took over the responsibility of defending Kobe, and he pressed Kobe Bryant crazy from the first second of the game.

Under the Trail Blazers' crazy strategy of targeting OK combinations and almost letting go of Lakers role players, they played a dream start!

In the first 4 minutes of the game, Kobe and O'Neal didn't shoot even once! And the role players of the Lakers are constantly playing iron! The Trail Blazers once played a wave of 13-0 offensive frenzy, and they took a 19-9 lead in the first stage of the first quarter!

Pippen, the team's big brother, took the lead in this quarter of the game, locking Kobe Bryant while also acting as an offensive arrow, scoring 9 points in a single quarter!

In the second quarter, the format of the game was even more one-sided! The restless O'Neal received two offensive fouls in a row, and it wasn't until halfway through the second quarter that he finally hit his first athletic goal!

Then, in the second half of the second quarter, as Pippen went off the court for too many fouls, Kobe Bryant finally stepped up, hitting multiple jumpers in a row, including a whistle-blowing dunk before the end of the first half!

Relying on Kobe's bombardment, the Lakers stabilized the situation and chased the score to 42:39, only 3 points behind!

Then, at the beginning of the third quarter, the Lakers hit a climax again, Glenn Rice took out the scoring method that he had once scored third in a single season, a 2+1 forced impact on the basket and a pull-up jump shot to score 5 points in a row, helping the Lakers lead 50:51 for a while!

However, after these 5 points from Rice, the Lakers lost power!

All of a sudden, they forgot how to score and how to stop their opponents from scoring!

Steve Smith scored 7 points in a row, and Rashid rushed to the basket twice and dunked! And with Pippen's mid-range jumper, the score of the two sides came to 71:55!

The Trail Blazers played the Lakers with a 21:4 offensive frenzy, and their style of play blossomed everywhere, completely stunned the Lakers!

If it weren't for Bryan Shaw's magical three-point shot, the Lakers might have even trailed the Trail Blazers by 20 points at the end of the third quarter!

But Shaw's 3 points could only quench his thirst temporarily, and after the start of the fourth quarter, Smith hit a layup, and with 10 minutes and 30 seconds left in the fourth quarter, Wells also made a foul and successfully hit 2 free throws!

At this point, the Trail Blazers have led the Lakers by a full 15 points!

From any point of view, the ultimate matchup of this level, judging from the strength and margin of error of both sides, at this time, fans can almost choose to leave the game early.

There is really not much suspense in the game!

But then, the wind and clouds suddenly changed again!

The Trail Blazers suddenly became the Lakers in the first quarter, and they suddenly lost all their skills to put the basketball in the basket!

In the next 7 minutes, the Trail Blazers missed 13 consecutive shots, and they hit enough iron to open one of the world's top blacksmith shops in the bustling downtown of Los Angeles!

And during this period, the Lakers seemed to wake up, they began to shoot constantly, and all kinds of unbelievable and jaw-dropping fairy balls were scored one after another!

Shaw shot 2 three-pointers in a row, 'Koi' Horry also shot 1 3-pointer, plus Kobe Bryant and O'Neal teamed up for 6 points, the Lakers used a wave of 15:0 to fill the huge point gap, and played a scoring frenzy that made the whole of Los Angeles crazy!

Next, although the Trail Blazers regained their offensive feel and finally started scoring, they were no longer able to pull away and play an offensive climax.

1 minute and 30 seconds before the end of the game, the two sides fought to a 79-all draw!

The next time belongs to Kobe Bryant!

This guy who once faced the Jazz in the playoffs 3 years ago and shot 4 consecutive three-no-sticks and almost became the laughing stock of the United States took over the game!

First, he caused a foul on Rashid, and made 2 free throws to give the team the lead for the first time in the fourth quarter! Then Rashid, the Trail Blazers' best performance tonight, caused another blocking foul on O'Neal! Got a valuable chance to tie the score!

However, maybe it was fate and maybe it was a slippery hand, but in short, this big man who shot more than 70% of his free throws in his career hit both free throws! The Trail Blazers lost their best and last chance of the night!

Then Kobe Bryant completed an unbelievably difficult mid-range shot against Pippen! Coupled with Pippen's uncool 3-point shot.

Finally, it's the world-famous painting!

Kobe Bryant completely deceived Pippen into the restricted area with a gorgeous change of direction, and after attracting the help defense, he threw the basketball high, and O'Neal under the basket was like an ancient monster that had just broken free from the cage, rising from the ground and pressing the ball into the basket with one hand!

79：85！

The Lakers launched a wave of 6:0 and sealed the win! They gave the Trail Blazers only 40 seconds to give birth.

But these 40 seconds can only be the last trapped beast battle for the Blazers, but they obviously can't erase the six-point gap in this time.

84：89！

No matter how unwilling and painful they were, the Trail Blazers lost the tiebreaker, they were once extremely close to the Finals, and they once cornered the Lakers.

But they lost in the end!

They have lost the team's best chance since Drexler led the team to the Finals twice!

They were not able to replicate the miracle of '76 and ended their season with a regret!

The Lakers, on the other hand, broke into the NBA Finals again after 9 years!

9 years ago, it was the final peak of 'Magic' Johnson and SHOW TIME, and he led the likes of Divac, Perkins and A.C. Green all the way to the finals!

And this year, it is the OK group that has finally ushered in a metamorphosis and reached the finals for the first time!

Two eras, this is the official completion of the handover!

It is worth mentioning that AC Green, the starting power forward of the Lakers 9 years ago, not only still maintains his streak of appearances today, but also serves as the starting power forward for the Lakers today, 9 years later! He is also the only player other than Jerry West and owner Bass to be involved in both eras at the same time!

Well, it's worth mentioning that Sam Perkins, who is two years older than him and co-starred with him as the Lakers' starter, is now playing for the Pacers!

Of course, the status of the two men on the team is far from the same, and Green still played the full 82 regular season games, and all of them played as starters!

Perkins played a total of 42 games in the regular season, averaging less than 7 minutes per game!

He is now more like an assistant coach, helping young people grow and transferring knowledge and experience to them.

But it is very fateful that two old teammates can meet in the finals.

And when it comes to fate, I have to mention that after the Lakers advanced to the finals, among all the players on both sides, the busiest person!

"Honey, you're in Los Angeles? Oh what a coincidence! I'm going to Los Angeles to play away! Most likely, it's two in a row, I don't think we will play the third away, we will sweep them! See you then! Love you! Lin Tian hung up the phone call Theron had given him and let out a long breath.

This is the 4th, 5th um, wait, how many are coming?

Theron, Portman, Connery, and even Bellucci have officially given up their careers in Italy to make their way to Hollywood.

Big head! The head is big!

and Keira Knightley also called Lin Tian to ask for tickets

Lin Tian didn't react when he answered her phone, and subconsciously said 'dear'.

Completely forgot that I hadn't touched this girl.

As a result, the little girl on the other side of the person directly timidly reported an address, saying that her parents were not in Los Angeles and she lived alone in this apartment.

No, girl, you're underage!

Aren't you Portman's best friend, inspired to be the best wingman in the United States?

You're working as a wingman for the Los Angeles cop, aren't you?

It's a pity that my Lin Daguan has an upright personality, a good style, and a bottom line!

Never do anything that violates the law!

Let's wait for the little girl to act in "Pirates of the Caribbean" in a few years and reach the peak of her appearance.

When the time comes, you can let her wear that pirate suit!

FUXX！

That's not the point.

The point is that the girls, all of them have time, they are all in Los Angeles smartly, they all pay attention to the NBA games, and they all decide to come to the scene to support Lin Tian!

This matter was ingenious, Lin Tian decided to give Rashid a call!

"Don't do anything this summer! Just give Lao Tzu a good practice of free throws! How could you make 2 free throws at that time in the game? ”

"Boss, I'm really tired by that time! Penalty shooting is hard! Rashid complained a little and was a little inexplicable, why did Lin Tian suddenly call him?

"What's the difficulty? You've had so much playing time over the years, okay? Don't talk nonsense with your eyes open! It's hard for the fans to support you! Sometimes you look for your own reasons, right? Has the free-throw shooting percentage increased over the years? Is there any serious training? ”

"I've waited so long and wanted to play a finals with you, and you're going to repay me like that?"

"Boss, don't talk about it, I'm going to practice free throws!" When Rashid heard this, Lin Tian was actually sad because he couldn't play the finals with his group of little fans, and immediately admitted his mistake: "Next season, my free throw shooting rate will definitely reach more than 79%!" ”

Call!

Squirted Rashid and it was much more comfortable!

But it wasn't comfortable enough, so Lin Tian glanced at the phone book and called Pippen again.

"You're just defensive? Are you ashamed? Hit by a rookie, huh? You were all dangled to your grandma's house for the last ball, didn't you, Scott? It's a good thing you didn't make it to the finals, otherwise I could have rocked you straight to the moon and made you the first man to go to the moon after Armstrong, and the first black man to land on the moon in the history of the world! ”

"My grandma can defend Kobe Bryant better than you! See what you've done in the Big Seven? 3 points in the second three quarters? 6 fouls sent off? Blown up by Kobe? Being hit by a tricky jumper? Also, you ......"

Lin Tianzheng was spraying vigorously, and Pippen on the other side hung up the phone directly.

He is not Rashid, and he is not Lin Tian's fan brother, so he is too lazy to listen to Lin Tian's nonsense!

However, although Lin Tian didn't spray enough, Pippen's mood was obviously very unhappy, and he gave Lin Tian 100 points of experience!

Well, very good!

Lin Tian felt that he was a little more comfortable.

Next, it's time to arrange the girls!

This time, he didn't dare to ask the guy on the other side to help him get the ticket!

In the Christmas war that year, Jordan directly arranged for the girls to sit together one by one, Lin Tian will never forget it in his life, the ghost knows if Kobe will learn from his idol Jordan and make something for him, this time, he has to do it himself!

You can't give your life and destiny to others anymore!

At the very least, the tickets have to go to Lin Tian's hands first, and then distribute them to the girls according to the distribution of seats.

Prudence is the key to eternal life!

For the safety of his own life, the first person Lin Tian looked for was Bird.

"Larry, do you have a way to get me tickets to Staples?"

"Finals? How many do you want? Bird didn't ask much, and directly asked Lin Tian for a few.

“10…… Never mind. Before Lin Tian gave the number, his mind suddenly turned and he thought of a more witty way: "The third and fourth games should each have five tickets, and they should be in the front row, but they have to be separated, the farther away the better, is there a problem?" ”

"That's fine, but do you have a grudge against these friends? Will there be a fight? As soon as he heard Lin Tian's request, Bird was a little curious, who is a good person to invite relatives and friends to watch the game, and it is better to divide people as much as possible!

As soon as you hear it, there is a conspiracy!

"We have to separate anyway! If you can't do it, I'll ask Erwin. Lin Tian spread his hands and came up with a trick: if you have something to decide, mention the magician!

"Why are you calling him?" Bird rolled his eyes and said, "If you want to fight, I'll fight it!" ”

"What?" Lin Tian was stunned for a moment, but Bird on the other side had already called the phone.

"Old AIDS? You haven't died yet, have you? Bird opened his mouth and hit the most painful point in the magician's life.

"I won't die if you die, you country fool." The magician's voice came from the other end of the phone: "How many do you want?" ”

"Give me 300 first. They all have to be in the front row. ”

"Shall I buy Staples and give it to you? 300 sheets? You country bird who hasn't been in the city, do you want all your hillbilly relatives to come to Los Angeles? Why don't you die? The magician cursed and said, "10 sheets, love or not!" I'll send it to you if you want, or you can pick it up yourself. ”

"Okay, 10 is 10, I'll call Jerry again, he should have a way." Bird muttered, "If Jerry doesn't have it, I'll call another Jerry, anyway, the two of them must have tickets!" ”

"I've never seen you with such thick skin in my life!" The magician continued to scold: "20! Don't bother our general manager and boss! Numbers 3-5 have to be right, right? ”

"Don't for the fifth." Bird held back a smile and said: "The game that won't be played, and the printed tickets are a waste of paper!" I'm a very eco-friendly person. ”

"Looks like you knew you were going to be swept away?" The magician laughed and quickly answered: "When we win the championship, I can let you come up and touch the O'Brien Cup to make you feel refreshed!" ”

"I have one in the cabinet, I took it the year before last, if you want to touch it, I can mail it to you, so you can see the difference between the 90s trophies and the 80s! I'll tell you, the craftsmanship has improved a lot! ”

"I have five of them, it's not uncommon."

"That's a lot. But I heard those 5 aren't in your own home, they're in the Lakers' office? By the way, speaking of which, didn't you say you wanted to get a serious job with the Lakers? Did they assign you a job? I think the cheerleading team leader is the best for you! ”

"It allows you to play your old job, and it allows you to remember the good life of your playing days!"

"Fuck you, country birds! FUXX！ ”

The bickering between Bird and the magician ended here, just by looking at Bird's expression, you can know that this bickering ended with a big victory for Bird!

Compared to the black yin in the belly and the poison of the mouth, the magician really can't fight with Bird! In terms of spraying people's mentality, the difference between the two people's ranks is too far!

"That's it!" Bird, who was complacent and happily hung up the phone, looked up at Lin Tiandao: "When the time comes, I will give you the ticket first, and I will give it to others after you vote." ”

"No, you're looking for Erwin to ask for that?" Lin Tian was somewhat caught off guard by Bird's way of asking for tickets, and Bird and Magic are obviously very familiar with this 'business', needless to say, Bird has asked Magic for tickets to Los Angeles.

"That's it, otherwise how else can you ask for it? Invite this old AIDS to eat and club? Then why don't I just ask Jerry West for it? Bird said as he should be: "After all, I don't know West that well, and it's not appropriate to always ask him to open his mouth, usually I ask for old AIDS 3-5 times, and then ask West for once." ”

"Well, on a very rare occasion, such as the Christmas War, when the tickets in the hands of those two people are usually given away long ago, I will ask Buzz for it, and the old man is very good, and the tickets are much more generous than those two Grande!"

Lin Tian silently gave a thumbs up! A real thumbs up.

What else can he say and do besides likes?

Nothing can be done!

This is the real hardcore way to ask for votes, and this is the right way for these celebrities and rivals to get along!

I, Lin Daguan, will learn from it in the future!

I want to make sure that no matter which stadium in the league I, someone will send me Lin Daguan paper!

According to what Bird said, the tickets will be delivered after they arrive in Los Angeles to prepare for the away game, and then Lin Tian will look at the specific location distribution of the tickets, and then see how he distributes them!

Until then, the Pacers will have to play two home games!

After all, if he loses a home game, even if it is Lin Tian, I am afraid that he will not be in the mood to engage in nonsense.

Ball, you have to win first!

It is also worth mentioning that when Lin Tian lost the Eastern Conference semifinals as early as last year, it was like the entire Indiana fans who promised that he would lead the team back to the Finals this year, and would bring the Pacers' home game back to the previous City Square Arena during the Finals!

They're going to make City Square Arena have a perfect finale!

With victory, with the victory of the finals, to truly bid farewell to this arena that has accompanied the Pacers for 25 years!

As for today's new arena, the Conceco Center?

Lin Tian gave them an idea when he officially applied to the team: Conseco Arena also sells tickets! Let the fans who didn't buy tickets for the City Square Arena watch the game at the Conseco Arena!

Of course, the average price of tickets is more than 1 times lower!

But for the Pacers, this is also an extra income, and the team agreed to Lin Tian's application from top to bottom with almost no hesitation!

Finals, play at City Square Arena! In addition, another sub-venue will be opened at the Conseco Arena, so that more fans can feel the atmosphere of the stadium!

Flattered!

Best of both worlds!

As for why the tickets that have been sold twice all of a sudden, will they not be sold out and sold out, resulting in an empty stadium without any atmosphere?

Anyway, the management of the Pacers is not worried about this at all!

With Indiana's ball market and fans' enthusiasm for basketball, coupled with the fact that this is the ultimate matchup in the Finals, the Pacers are not afraid of such a thing as not selling out of tickets.

They are confident that even if 40,000 tickets are sold, they will be in short supply, and they will be able to fill both arenas at the same time!

In the entire league, there are definitely no more than 5 teams that can have this kind of confidence and really do this!

Most of the remaining teams are most likely to be dissatisfied with both stadiums, and in the end, not only do they not make much money, but there is also a high probability that the home field advantage will be wiped out!

But the Pacers want die-hard fans to have die-hard fans, they want top stars to have top stars, and they want the league's No. 1 record to have the No. 1 record!

They, not worried about this at all!

The only thing the Pacers are worried about now is whether the team will not be able to stop the Lakers!

It's still the same sentence: their goal is not just to win the finals and championships, their goal has long been shouted!

"15 wins!"

One more game, it's a failure!

That's what the Pacers have set themselves to do, and that's the pressure they've put on themselves! I hope this can stimulate the team's fighting power and the enthusiasm of the players!

On the afternoon of the day before the Finals, needless to say, Bird once again gave the Pacers players one last tactical analysis lesson before the start of the Finals in his tactical operations conference room!

"I guess what this series means, how important it is, I don't need to talk about it or be verbose anymore! Win this series! Sweep the Los Angeles people and become the overall champion! ”

"I still say the same thing, what we want to build is not a championship team, but a dynasty team!"

"So, this year's finals are just the beginning! Starting with this year's Grand Final, we will start a dynasty that belongs to Indiana! One of the greatest dynasties after the Bull dynasty! ”

"It's us who ended the Bulls dynasty! It is only us who start a new dynasty! ”

After the morale-boosting opening remarks, Bird looked at the energetic and confident players in front of him, and officially began today's tactical analysis!

"The Lakers, with 67 wins in the regular season, are second in the league! The first two rounds of their playoffs went smoothly, and it wasn't until the division finals that they encountered resistance from the Trail Blazers, and they didn't get through until they tied for seven! ”

"But I would say that the difference in quality between the two teams is actually very big and very obvious! The 3:1 in the first four games is the best proof of this! The Lakers have an overwhelming advantage against all the rest of the teams in the West! And I believe that by next year, the Lakers' advantage will be even more obvious! They might even sweep the entire West! ”

"I believe that they will become the overlord of the West!"

"To give them such a strong core competency, one is their head coach Phil Jackson, a head coach who is bold in employing people and is good at stimulating the potential of players, improving team cohesion and morale, and what he is best at is to make superstars who already have a top level, and then play extra ability, play at 120%!"

"His control of the mentality of the players, especially the top players, is definitely the best in the league today!"

"That's why the Lakers always come back and always play a good game in the stalemate! They are very confident! This self-confidence, in addition to their strong ability, also comes from Phil Jackson! ”

"But this guy, just leave it to me, and I'll kill him! In addition to Phil Jackson, it is the Lakers' current inside and outside duo: Shaq O'Neal and Kobe Bryant! ”

O'Neal averaged 29.7 points, 13.6 rebounds and 3 blocks per game in the regular season this year! He's the league's leading scorer, second on the rebounding charts, third on the blocks charts, and second on the MVP list at the end of the season! In this year's regular season, he is the second person in the league after Lin! ”

"In the playoffs, O'Neal averaged 29+17 per game in the first round and 30+16 per game in the second round! In the three-round series, only the Trail Blazers successfully defended O'Neal, limiting O'Neal's average to 26 points and 12 rebounds per game, while shooting only 53%! ”

"Well, you heard it right, this is O'Neill after being limited by success! An O'Neal who has been guarded against can still play 99% of the data that the inside line can't play in a lifetime! ”

"So I don't care what others say, this guy is the number one inside line in the league today, and he has unparalleled destructive power and terrifying dominance! When he gets the ball on the inside, he has to have 2-3 people to wrap up and help defend, so it is possible to defend him! ”

"The Trail Blazers can defend him, relying on a large number of frontcourt players such as Rashid, Sabonis, Schramf, Grant, and Pippen, as well as vicious and tough fouls, the Trail Blazers have at least one person fouled off the court every game, and almost everyone in the Trail Blazers has participated in the team's bag of O'Neal!"

"This kind of crazy bag that doesn't care, the price they pay is also very large! Just look at the Lakers' 3-point shooting percentage! Kobe Bryant 53%, Rice 35%, Shaw 61%, Fisher 37%, Fox 38%! The Lakers' entire perimeter and almost all of their shooters are shooting 3-point shooting above their career averages! ”

"The Trail Blazers lost in the end, and that's where they lost! Lose a 3-pointer to a Lakers role player! ”

"So, we can't defend O'Neal like the Trail Blazers, we can't let go of the Lakers' perimeter players. It's not going to work! In this round of the series, at least the first game, Ben, you have to 1 against Shaq 1 on-one! Just do your best, I want to see what you can do with Shaq! ”

"If you can single-handedly limit O'Neal to 25 or 6 points, then we can easily sweep this series!"

"Leave it to me, Coach! I'll do my best! Big Ben nodded, and said confidently to Bird: "I will try my best to make him less than 30 points!" ”

Big Ben's confidence is indeed very strong!

In today's league, people who dare to say that they can make O'Neal not score 30 points one-on-one are absolutely rare! Only the top defenders would dare to boast of such a Haikou!

It can also be seen how terrible O'Neill is today!

A true ancient beast!

Bird nodded with satisfaction: "Another reason why we won't defend O'Neal as much as the Trail Blazers is that our forward strength and thickness are not as good as the Trail Blazers!" The players in our team are better at attacking! So I'm not going to put too much effort into defending! ”

"That's going to be the core strategy we're going to focus on this series: offense! Offensive! Keep attacking me! ”

Speaking of this, Bird paused and continued: "Aside from O'Neal, the most difficult person on the Lakers team is undoubtedly Kobe Bryant! The young man has grown into one of the league's top defenders before he knows it! ”

"He averaged 22 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists per game in the regular season this season, and his talent and ability on the offensive end are needless to say, and his skills in feeding the ball inside have also been underestimated by many people!"

"And I want to say that Kobe's most overlooked ability is his defense, his ability to bite on the defensive end! There are countless star players who have been taught by him this season! This guy can definitely become a new generation of top offensive and defensive superstars in the league! ”

"It's not even good, it will be the first person of the new generation! After all, Iverson, Marbury is too short, Starkerhouse is too lonely, and Ray Allen is a notch behind them, Vince, you"

"I'll kill him!" Carter frowned, put away his smile, looked at Kobe Bryant who was killing all sides on the screen and said, "I am the best guard swingman in the new generation of this league!" I'll prove it! ”

"Excellent! I love your determination! But you don't have to kill him, you just need to blow him up on the offensive end! Doug, Kobe Bryant is yours! Kill him for me! Prevent him from killing me! Prove to me that you are the best person in the Mesozoic Era for outside defense! ”

"Leave it to me!" Christie nodded, keeping her usual quiet.
