Bishop: since 1998

Chapter 83 The first round of the finals!

Time flies, to June 6th.

Los Angeles, Great Western Forum.

"We will be the championship!!" Occasionally, I heard fans wearing Lakers jerseys pumping their fists and shouting to cheer for the home team, which attracted the attention and applause of the nearby fans.

In other words, as a wealthy team, the Lakers won the NBA championship last time in 1988. It has been 1999 years since 11. It is time to return to the peak era.

The first round of the 98/99 season NBA finals is about to start. At this time, the arena is crowded with people, and there are no empty seats. It is called a sea of ​​people.

Li Mu was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, with his hands in his pockets, showing his stunning appearance, and immediately heard the cheers and applause of the fans in the arena.

The game was broadcast live by TNT radio station. Mike Breen introduced the starting lineup of the players, "The Lakers started with five players, with minor adjustments, Billups, Kobe, Rice, Big Ben, O'Neal.

Removing Bowen from the starting lineup and changing to a star scorer, the Lakers, this is a signal that they want to take the initiative to strengthen their offense. "

The partner groom Albert said, "Jeff Van Gundy's team likes to be a turtle, indents in the penalty area to guard the basket, and has good pseudo-defense tactics. It's really not good for Ben Wallace and Bruce Bowen to play at the same time. , Rice played, and his three-pointer happened to be a sword hanging over the Knicks.

Next, look at the Knicks starting lineup..."

The Knicks started with five tigers, point guard Charlie Ward, shooting guard Alan Houston, small forward madman Sprewell, power forward Larry Johnson, and center Chris Dudley.

In fact, Van Gundy was very flustered. He was used to Ewing by his side, so he couldn't play the game suddenly.

At the same time, in the absence of insiders, Larry Johnson, who is said to be only 192cm, was mentioned as a power forward.

You say that Larry Johnson, nicknamed 'Big Mom', is 2m tall by registration.

As a result, standing next to Daben, he was half a head shorter. You must know that Daben's real height is only 2 meters.

I heard that Larry Johnson is short beside Barkley who is 1 meters. According to Steve Kerr, Larry is only 98 meters tall.

Anyway, the same as Daben when registering, it was a false report.

Short is short, but Van Gundy uses it very smoothly. In the future, he will use Yao Ming's "guard with a knife" Chuck Hayes as a treasure.

For the remaining center, Chris Dudley can only go to the top.

The game started with a jump ball, and there was no suspense. O'Neal scored the first attack for the Lakers.

Billups dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, as steady as he was, and before O'Neal settled in the penalty area, he suddenly made a three-point shot.

On the commentary stage, Mike Brin shook his head, "Billups is a freshman, and it's his first time playing in the Finals, so he's a bit messed up.

Wouldn't it be too nervous?

This is not a good sign! "

Swish-!
0 to 3! !
Leng Jian hit a three-pointer, and at this moment, cheers erupted in the arena.

This three-pointer stepped on the hearts of the fans and audience.

Van Gundy stared.

That's it, it's too messy!

Li Mu applauded Billups on the field.

My heart said, Billups will not start his civilian MVP script!
Billups, who was nicknamed "Mr. Key", usually pretends to be dead and has mediocre statistics. He does have the potential to grab the MVP in the finals.

Anyway, the final winners are all the Lakers. Li Mu doesn't care, but likes to see players compete.

O'Neal stared at Billups seriously, and then at the cauliflower head Kobe, feeling that the teammates around him were all opponents, and the pace of returning to defense couldn't help but speed up a lot.

On the field, offense and defense transition.

Charlie Ward was used to dribbling the frontcourt. His 'wife' Ewing was not there, so he suddenly didn't know who to pass the ball to?
On the side, Alan Houston and Larry Johnson hit a side screen.

After the pick-and-roll, Larry Johnson made an air cut and rushed to the basket, and Houston swam to the free throw line.

The Knicks' offensive opportunity appeared instantly.

Charlie Ward passed the ball to the free throw line, the ball arrived, Houston received the ball, jumped up, shot, and the basketball arced in the air.

Swish-!
2 to 3! !
"Nice goal!

Not referring to the Knicks' offensive coordination.

It's Houston's shooting posture, and every movement is as standard as a textbook.

No wonder he is called the 'king of mid-range shot', he has a beautiful shooting posture, and his shot is already half successful." Mike Breen explained.

Groom Albert asked, "What is the other half of success?"

Mike Brin smiled mysteriously and replied. "Throwing that damn basketball in, of course.

If you can't make a shot, no matter how beautiful your shooting posture is, you can still eat it! "

"It's like O'Neal. He only has one move now. Can you say that his offense is not gorgeous and has no dominance?"

On the court, as if he heard the commentary, O'Neill received the basketball in the penalty area, sat back, and used his prehistoric force, suddenly slammed his back, knocking Chris Dudley out of the baseline, and then turned around and lifted the ball.

I found that there was no one standing around me.

Bang-dang-!
One-handed dunks, ravaged the basket, and scored two points.

2 to 5! !
Li Mu shook his head, he didn't want to admit it.

O'Neill is a slam dunk master who understands the true meaning of martial arts.

Martial arts, one horizontal and one vertical.

Don't care about tricks, only lie down and stand.

Well, isn't this called laying down to win!

In the low position on the left, Larry Johnson singled the big Ben with his back.

He heard from Oakley that Daben was his disciple, and his style was carved out of him.

So, he came up with the way to deal with Oakley to make a big profit.

Turning his back and shaking his shoulders, using his footsteps, raising his elbows, he broke into the basket, wanting to have a singles dunk.

A shadow flew out sideways, and his big hand precisely pressed on the basketball, directly knocking Larry Johnson to the ground.

It was none other than Big Ben.

Larry Johnson underestimated the speed of Big Ben, and also underestimated the strength of Big Ben, and was blocked by Big Ben.

beep~~
The referee awarded the ball back to the Knicks when it went out of the sideline.

Van Gundy argued to the referee that the one just now was a foul. At the same time, he was worried about Larry Johnson's injury.

After all, Larry Johnson has a back problem.

In other words, Van Gundy is really righteous to the players.

Last season, when Larry Johnson and Mourning fought, the small Van Gundy dared to hug Mourning's thigh.

Legend has it that Van Gundy was dragged several meters and was carried off the floor by Mourning's legs like a hammock.

So, Van Gundy also has a 'hammock' nickname.

Larry Johnson is said to be very good at playing, Li Muan watched quietly, not because he was from the heart, but because he was really not worried that something would happen to Da Ben.

Don't ask, the question is that Daben not only has 5 older brothers guarding him, but also, a guy named 'Wu Sheng' may rush out of him at any time.

No.

wrong.

The man you mentioned is called Artest, not Big Ben.

On the field.

Larry Johnson is fine, next, it's Big Ben.

After receiving Charlie Ward's bottom line serve, Larry Johnson immediately shot a three-pointer to punish Ben for defending himself roughly.

Swish-!
From outside the 45-degree three-point line on the left, Larry Johnson raised the knife and hit a precise three-pointer.

5 to 5! !
"Muscular men are generally insulated from shooting skills.

Larry Johnson is an outlier. He doesn't have muscular strength, he can shoot the ball, and he can play inside and out.

Larry, who plays power forward, seems to be stronger. "On the commentary platform, Mike Breen said.

Li Mu's eyes fell on Larry Johnson. His muscles were very strong, top-notch in the power league, and his bounce was amazing.

Xin said: This is the ancient version of Cai En rumored in the market.

How does it feel that he is much better than Cai En, who can only smash baskets.
