Chapter 227: O'Neill's Wine, the Finals Begin

Because he is no longer a teammate, Doon has not had much contact with Kobe Bryant in the past two years.

And Kobe Bryant basically doesn't take the initiative to contact other people except for things on the court and personal life.

Now that he suddenly called Doon, he naturally went to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing.

When Doon thought of Kobe Bryant's playoffs this year, he probably guessed Kobe's thoughts.

It's nothing more than trying to use off-court events to force the Lakers management.

To be honest, the Lakers' configuration is not too bad now.

It's definitely a little bit worse than competing for the championship, but if Kobe can manage the locker room well, correct his mentality, and lead the team to the Western Conference Finals, it's not impossible.

However, seeing that O'Neal won the championship in his first year away from the Lakers, Doane also has a good chance of winning the championship this year.

This situation has occurred one after another, and it is understandable that Kobe Bryant can't sit still.

Kobe Bryant was willing to take the blame before, and that was because Kobe was confident that he would win the championship before O'Neal and Doon, and win more championships.

Whoever wants to plan can't catch up with the changes, Doon is improving far faster than Kobe Bryant expected.

Last year, it was still on par, but this year it seems to be suddenly half a notch higher.

Who would have thought of such a situation?

"If I don't make up for it, I'll be left behind by Shaq and Doon!" It's normal for Kobe Bryant to have thoughts similar to this.

Not to mention, there are actually a lot of assets that the Lakers can trade now.

If they can trade for a player who is suitable for Kobe, the Lakers may not be without the possibility of winning the championship in the next three years.

Of course, whether Kobe Bryant can win the championship in the future has to ask Doon first! After all, the Bulls' championship window is still several years away!

"Shaq, Kobe Bryant is also coming to watch the game, do you want to arrange you and Kobe Bryant in a box?"

After Doon talked to Kobe, he quickly sent a message to O'Neal.

When O'Neill got the news, he didn't surprise Doon, and quickly agreed with a smile.

Then overnight, the fifth championship ring and a replica of the fifth championship trophy were stuffed into the suitcase and ready to be taken to Chicago.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is June 8th.

The Chicago Union Center, where the NBA 05-06 Finals G1 is about to begin.

And in a luxurious box in the stadium, a big fat man suddenly broke in with a wine box.

"Hey, Kobe, why are you here?" O'Neill asked knowingly.

"That guy Doon, you actually arranged you and me together?

Alas, forget it! Shaq is not a small-bellied person, who called you once Shaq's brother?

Even though you betrayed Shaq, Shaq decided to forgive you.

I happened to bring a bottle of wine, which was supposed to be celebrated with Doon.

Now, it's cheaper for you! Would you like to have a drink and a hangover? ”

Kobe Bryant is not as eloquent as O'Neal, but when O'Neal broke into the box, Bryant didn't know what to say.

Now that O'Neal has said that he wants to reconcile, Kobe naturally has no reason to refuse.

It's just that Kobe Bryant scolded Doon a few words in his heart, why he deliberately arranged him with O'Neal, a dead fat man.

"If the media notices that Shaq and I are at the United Center, watching the game in the same box, drinking together, and having a good conversation, then some rumors will be self-defeating, right?"

After thinking about this, Kobe Bryant had no reason to refuse O'Neal.

However, just as Kobe Bryant sat down to have a drink with O'Neal.

O'Neill opened the wine box by himself, and then saw that the wine box was not O'Neill's famous wine at all, but a replica of the championship trophy.

"Where's my wine, Fake?

Why is my championship trophy here?

Damn, it couldn't be my wife who secretly drank my wine, right?

It's too much, even if I secretly drink alcohol, I can't put my championship trophy here, right?

This is the fifth championship trophy of my career!

If they were lost, wouldn't there be only four left?

By the way, Kobe, you shouldn't have lost the trophy, right? How many are left, is it four?

Shaq's trophies are not lost, and now there are five, which is one more than you. ”

O'Neill pretended to be stupid and stunned, and at the same time, he was yin and yang.

Seeing this, Kobe Bryant's face turned pale, how could he not know that this was calculated by Doon and O'Neal.

Kobe Bryant has four championship trophies, and the championship ring almost fills one hand.

But when he meets O'Neal, even if he wins the game, he still has to bow his head, not to mention that O'Neal has one more championship than him now.

Now that he was sneered at in front of O'Neal, Kobe Bryant couldn't get by with his face, and he slammed the door in a hurry.

O'Neill laughed and put the trophy in the wine box, and at the same time put away the championship ring in his arms.

"Brother, Shaq has prepared the celebration wine for you! It's up to you to drink it! Come on, Shaq is optimistic that you can win the championship! ”

After teasing Kobe, O'Neal took advantage of the fact that the game had not yet started and asked Doon to catch up.

Doon didn't know what happened between Kobe and O'Neal not long ago, and thought that O'Neal really brought a bottle of celebration wine.

"Put down the wine, and I'll go back."

Playing the Mavericks in the finals, Doon is still very sure.

The Mavericks are obviously not as strong as the Bulls on the outside, Roel Deng can solve Josh Howard, and Byron Davis can't guard Jason Terry, but Doon is very familiar with Terry, after all, the first template is coming.

With Adrian Griffin left and Jerry Stackhouse on the bench, Marquis Daniels is not difficult to solve.

also focuses on offense, and the offensive firepower of the Bulls is better than that of the Mavericks.

Besides, defense won championships, and the Bulls were sixth in the league in defensive efficiency this season, and that's because there were a lot of games clocked in the third quarter, and the bench players didn't pay as much attention to defense.

And the Mavericks are exactly seventh in defensive efficiency, which is not as good as the Bulls.

Whether judging from the regular season data or the regular season battle record, the Bulls have a very good chance of winning against the Mavericks.

However, as soon as the game began, there were people on the Mavericks' side.

Terry made 2-of-2 three-pointers as soon as he came up, making Byron Davis' scalp tingle.

The Bulls had to send Roel Deng to defend Terry, but Terry is small, agile and explosive, and Roel Deng can interfere with Terry's shooting, but he can't prevent Terry's breakaway.

Fortunately, Doon stood in the defensive position, which still caused some restrictions on Terry.

However, after Terry made two three-pointers at the beginning, he was not in a hurry to attack, but more breakaway shots to create offensive opportunities for Josh Howard and Nowitzki.

Doon also helped defend Terry, allowing Josh Howard to get some open shots from beyond the three-point line.

The game has only been played for more than 4 minutes, and the difference has reached 14-8, and the difference has been opened by as many as 6 points.

As the Bulls took the initiative to call a timeout, Doon quickly took the opportunity to feign anger and dropped the towel to correct the team's overly relaxed and arrogant attitude.

"The finals have just started? Is this a win? Who gave you confidence? Who gave you courage?

We can defy the enemy strategically, but tactically we must pay attention to it!

The Dallas Mavericks are the champions of the West, and they are the best team in the West!

If I don't want to play, I'll just stay down there, I just need four teammates who can defend seriously! ”
