Chapter 479 Storm Gathering

The finals are the final drama of a whole season, and the news of the Bulls and Mavericks is always seen in the media, and after the first game is over...all eyes are on Chicago, on the two teams. decide on the team.

If the game is divided into two parts.

In the first half, the two sides played an even match no matter what, and strictly speaking... the performance of the Mavericks was normal. On the contrary, the overall performance of the Bulls was below the norm due to the poor state of Pippen and other main players. This was a tie.

The best proof of that point came... in the second half.

After the Bulls coach Phil Jackson finally selected the left and right pitchers, a watershed immediately appeared in the second half. The Mavericks pulled their hips as a whole. With the passage of time and the decline of physical fitness, this rhythm of defeat reached its climax in the fourth quarter.

At the end of the game...

Jordan's final game data was 34 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, and 2 steals, while Li Shengli scored 46 points, 16 rebounds, 7 assists, and 2 blocks. It's just... Behind the brutal growth of data is more helplessness, because in addition to Li Shengli, Garnett and Kidd, two rookies who lacked experience in major competitions, were strangled by a group of old hooligans. , and produced a 46+16 data.

……

The Mavericks lost their first game.

Some people are regretful, and some are excited, but the two camps behind the finals are really happy. They are happier than the Magic being swept by the Bulls in the last round, because this kind of hard power gap... is what shakes some people the most. An important factor, and the first is the gathering of the Lakers' big bosses.

"Good news, this is good news, the Mavericks blew up in the first game!" Li Shengli's lair in Greenville, Baylor, was like a traitor, very happy with the Mavericks' defeat.

"Baylor, looking at you like this, why do I want to hit you so much?" Kareem Abdul-Jabbar frowned, and the expression on his face represented his mood.

"Okay, don't quarrel!" Magic Johnson is also very rare squatting here, watching Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Baylor scratching their heads, "This finals, as long as the Mavericks are swept, our plan will be half successful."

"That's your plan, what does it have to do with us?" Kareem Abdul-Jabbar glanced at his former teammate.

"It doesn't matter, don't you want to see him come to our Lakers to take over your class? Well, it is definitely not a wise decision for him to stay in Dallas. Whether it is the contract amount or the hope of the championship, he has 1 reasons to leave, but There is no reason to stay, for us and for him, this is the best opportunity, and we are ready." Johnson was very excited.

"You can be sure that the Mavericks will be swept before the game is over?"

"It doesn't matter whether it can be confirmed or whether it is a sweep, because the Bulls' championship is certain. What really matters is... the strength of the Bulls' lineup. The main theme of the league in the next few years will revolve around Jordan, wanting to fight the Bulls. , Against Jordan, he can only choose us, there is no other choice."

"Hehe, then you should talk to him yourself."

"Are you sure you don't want to help? Your opinion is very important to him."

"He will have his own choice, and you have to know...you are not the only ones who have ideas, the Celtics are also planning to do it. His principle is that he has no principle, you and I should know it."

"Of course I know, but we don't have only one choice. Don't forget Shaq, we started planning before we finished the regular season."

"I haven't forgotten, but your first choice seems...not him?"

"That can't be helped. After all, there must be a guaranteed option. The Celtics are the same. Everyone will gain something, but... buddy, don't say this, or it won't sound good, Shaq This kid has a bad temper, he always wanted to ride on Li's head, heck, although he didn't succeed."

……

After talking until now, Kareem finally stopped talking.

The finals in Chicago are in full swing, but the magician has already begun to lay out the bait for the offseason, and if the situation turns out as everyone expected...whether it is the yellow shark, the green plum, or the yellow plum Green Shark, it doesn't matter.

As the magician said, because the emergence of the mighty Bulls has proved that the city of Chicago is enough to crush all parties and rule this era, and it also proves that everyone's hope of hitting the championship is small, but for Li Shengli and O'Neal... The competitiveness of the inherent lineups of the two teams has been fixed, and it is indeed no better than the Bulls, so there is nothing like getting a big contract and waiting for the new team to reorganize.

But nothing is absolute.

What really needs to be seen now is the courage of the two parent teams, the Magic and the Mavericks, in order to keep people.

……

The Lakers bigwigs gathered in private, and for the time being they were talking about their own ideas, not the team's official opinions, but here in Boston... the finals only played one game, and the plan to steal people was put on the agenda. Unlike the Lakers side, there is only one voice here.

"Any news?"

"Yes, Johnson has already gone to Greenville, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is there. As for the Lakers... we can't confirm the specific details, but what is certain is that Johnson has already approached Shaq. And Li, we are more than one step late."

"Go to the door first? It doesn't matter, they can't take two, right? Now the league's top centers are only able to move these two, whether it is Ewing, Robinson or Olajuwon, even if there are five choices, we must Choose between these two, choose one to protect the Celtics inside for ten seasons without needing to use a knife, the main attack, choose... Lee!"

"Of course, the Magic's lineup should be stronger than that of the Mavericks, but they are in the East, and Lee should be the one who is most likely to be pried away, but there is also pressure. We don't know the details of the Lakers' contract. Will the Mavericks We don't know how desperately to keep people, and on Stern's side, this old bastard has been..."

……

Stern's insertion of the Celtics was not as simple as a one-shot. The giant team almost died, and every time he thinks about it, some people always feel angry, "Stern? Leave him alone, he We can no longer suppress us. That's fine, our contract is not afraid of being compared with anyone, it doesn't matter if it is lower."

"Isn't it? How can you fight for a low contract amount?"

"Hmph, I have too many options, and what I can give him is not limited to the amount on the contract..."

Not limited to the contract amount?

Isn't this stepping on the horse trying to play the Yin-Yang contract? !

"Stepping on the line? No, isn't this hitting Stern's gun?"

"Don't worry, I'm not going to step on the line. It's definitely not beyond the rules of the game, but it's actually outside the rules."

"What exactly does that mean? Well, I won't ask, but... Shaq is also treated the same?"

"Of course it's the same, but there's no rush in advance, and there are prerequisites. They have to agree to wait if they want to eat more. Don't forget that there is still a scheduled No. [-] pick waiting for us to recruit."

"This year's selection hasn't started yet, are you just waiting for next year's draft? This... There are too many unstable factors, and you may not be able to fulfill your wish."

"Always have to try. Think about the Big Three of the Jazz back then. If they don't dismantle, the West will all kneel down. Now this Bulls may not be able to compete, and if this offseason is fruitful, get Lee or Sand Ke, plus next season's No. [-] pick, slightly strengthen other positions, believe me, before I die...the championship is in Boston, never move!"

"Will this... be too crazy? Doesn't this draft need to be operated?"

"Let's go with fate, too much appetite will always outweigh the gains. If the quality and output of the 96 draft are good, then it is naturally the best. Let other teams help us train first, and there will always be someone who is willing to vote for our throne. Next, build my Boston's... second peak era!"
