Chapter 594 The Old Bull Returns to the Peak (8)

The reunion of Jordan and Pippen shocked the world.

And their combined performance shocked the world even more.

As soon as Pippen came, the Wizards won 5 consecutive victories!

The second-ranked Pistons in the East are trembling, and the No. [-] Nets in the East are also in jeopardy.

In the final stage of the regular season in April, the Wizards successfully killed the past and set foot on the top of the Eastern Conference.

Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, coach Doug Collins.

The old version of the Bulls team led the Wizards to the top!

Many Bulls fans wept with joy.

The 41-year-old Rodman also spoke out in an interview:
"This year's champion belongs to the Wizards!"

The media is also buzzing.
"The joining of Scott made me see the Bulls in their youth."

"Michael + Scott + Yao, maybe the Wizards can really win this year's championship."

"Michael's decline is an indisputable fact, but will he bring us more surprises in the playoffs?"

In the ball market, the Bulls, oh no, the Wizards' odds of winning the championship also went up and came to fifth place.

1 to 7.
Yes, they are No.5.

In front of them are the Kings first, the Lakers second, the Nuggets third, and the Spurs fourth.

Although the rankings are in order, the odds of winning the championship of these four teams are actually not much different.

The first king, the record is 62-20, and the odds of winning the championship are 1 to 4.5
The second Lakers have a record of 59-22, and the odds of winning the championship are 1 to 5
The third Nuggets have a record of 59-22, and the odds of winning the championship are 1 to 5.

The fourth Spurs have a record of 58-24, and the odds of winning the championship are 1 to 6
At present, the second and third Lakers and Nuggets still have the same odds, and they have not played the last game.

This last direct contest will determine the ranking of the two teams, will determine who will have the home court advantage, and will also determine the odds of the two teams.

On the evening of April 4th, the sun was setting and the sky in Los Angeles was orange-red.

Tonight, at the Staples Center, there will be another bloody fight!

Before the game, various media made predictions for the game.

"Washington Post" basketball commentator Michael Wilber analyzed:

"In this game, both teams will do their best. Last year's Western Conference Finals game is still vivid. The Nuggets seem to be a team prepared to limit the Lakers. If the Lakers want to win the Nuggets, home court advantage It must be in your own hands. If we lose today’s closing game, the Lakers’ playoffs may be in danger.”

Sam Smith of the Chicago Tribune: "The Lakers will win today."

"Compared to the defending champion Nuggets, compared to the three-peat champion Lee, the Lakers and Shaq and Kobe need to prove themselves. The Lakers will win today, because their goal is not just to beat the Nuggets, their goal is always It's the championship."

Lacey Banks of The Sun: "Lakers at home will win!"

"In the regular season of this season, the Lakers led the Nuggets 2-1. Both sides know the basics, but the strength is actually [-]-[-]. However, the Lakers have an advantage at home."

Kent McDill of the Herald said: "It's a [-]/[-] win between the two teams."

"Do the Lakers really want to win the game and home court advantage more than the Nuggets? Not necessarily! The Nuggets are the defending champions. The defending champions are a force to be reckoned with. Those who have won the championship A team and a team that has never won a championship are two completely different teams. The Nuggets' desire to defend their title is also very urgent.

Also, Lee!Lee is an MVP-level player who can change the direction of the game. He no longer needs to prove his strength.Statistics, honors, he has everything, he is already the top player in the league.All he has to do is to be better and win more championships.Go to the predecessors and attack more records.

Of course, I don't deny that the Lakers also need this victory.Shaq reached the finals in the 90s, but he failed in several trips to the finals.He is the number one center in the league, and if he wants to sprint to the number one center in league history, then he must win the championship.

Moreover, Kobe in the Lakers team should not be underestimated. As players in the 96 class, Iverson and Lee have already tasted the sweetness of the championship. Kobe, a young man with such a competitive spirit, will he let it go?Will not! "

At 7 p.m., the Staples Center in Los Angeles was packed.

The golden jerseys are rare to see all over the arena tonight.

"Let's go! Lakers!..."

There were waves of loud cheering shouts one after another.

Just like last year's Western Conference Finals.

No, today's Lakers fans are much more fierce than they were in the Western Conference Finals last year!
This is their determination, this is their determination to go further.

Everyone knows that the Nuggets, Li Nan's Nuggets are the most difficult opponents in the league.

In the past three years, the championships were all related to Li Nan.

It is conceivable that as long as Li Nan and the Nuggets pass the hurdle, the champion will be in sight!

Before the game, before the players from both sides played, in the commentary booth, TNT's new funny trio, Charles Barkley, Ernie Johnson, and Kenny Smith, also appeared.

"Audience friends, hello everyone, I'm Ernie, and I'm surrounded by famous commentators Kenny and Charles. Today, the three of us will explain to you the final focus game, the Lakers' home game against the Denver Nuggets .”

Ernie Johnson opened with a serious face to the camera,
"Speaking of which, this is actually the third time the three of us have commented on the Nuggets game this season. The first two times were because of the Wizards. Today I really want to thank the old-timers groom, Matt and Bill, thank you They gave us this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. However, I believe that after we explain this game, the old grooms will regret it."

Originally thought it would be some good words to praise the seniors, but it turned out to be "regret".

Kenny Smith asked cooperatively, "Oh? Why?"

Before Ernie could speak, Barkley rushed to speak. "I know!"

"Then talk about it."

"Of course it's because our commentary is so good and wonderful. The old grooms and their fans will definitely be attracted to us involuntarily. When we finish explaining the game, no one will watch the game explained by the old grooms. At that time, hehehe, we naturally squeezed them out and became TNT's first commentary team."

Barkley smirked from time to time and shook his eyebrows.As treacherous as treacherous.

Ernie quickly pushed Buckley back to his seat, "Charles, keep a low profile, we are juniors, how can we take the jobs of our seniors?"

It was obviously a criticism, but Ernie said it very ostentatiously.

Barkley also looked at the camera, and said sincerely, "Old horseman, I know you are in front of the TV, here, I really want to say sorry to you."

Before this, his attitude was still sincere and his tone was low-key, but here, he suddenly said with an exaggerated expression: "But, I really can't do it. After all, the fans like to watch our commentary games. There is no other way."

The three old grooms at the TNT headquarters couldn't stop rolling their eyes.
