Chapter 304
Due to Verus' time travel, it is impossible for the Lakers to win three consecutive championships in this time and space. The patience of the Lakers owners and fans is absolutely limited, and they must not tolerate Zen Master continuing to waste opportunities.

However, under the current situation, the relationship between the OK combination appears to be closer. After all, it is not yet the time to show off their merits. The Sharks have not yet had the confidence to ask for a sky-high contract renewal. Naturally, there is no such thing as the Lakers sending O'Neal away The bridge is over.

The owner and management of the Lakers are not stupid at all. No matter how powerful the Sharks are, but he is a huge tonnage inside player who relies purely on his physical talent. His peak period is only two or three years, and he will definitely decline quickly after that. It would be a fool to renew the contract with him at a sky-high price.

You must know that this is already O'Neal's tenth season in the NBA. No one knows that the 30-year-old Shark can maintain his peak for a few years, but his attendance rate has begun to decline. The first two years, the Sharks never played a full season after that.

But then the Lakers insisted on keeping the teenager Kobe, and sending away the NBA's No. [-] center, the Sharks, also took a big risk. After all, not everyone has the courage to give up such a strongest center in NBA history.

Between fame and the future, the Lakers chose the future. After all, it is not surprising that it is normal for an outside shooting guard like Kobe to play in the NBA for 20 years, and Kobe's state will not decline too much.

But the peak of the Sharks is definitely impossible to last for a long time. One or two seasons of strong team is not enough for the Lakers. They hope to establish a long-term stable and strong Lakers dynasty.

Verus thought this was not nonsense, 23-year-old Kobe and 30-year-old O'Neal, a fool would know who to choose, let alone a time traveler.

If O'Neal is only 23 years old, no matter how old Kobe is, the Lakers will definitely choose the Sharks without hesitation, because they can build a dynasty around the Sharks that has dominated the NBA for ten years.

Just like Verus is building a team around Yao Ming, the 21-year-old Yao Ming has come to the NBA arena ahead of time. With Verus' careful preparation of various measures, the establishment of a Warriors dynasty that has dominated the NBA for ten years is just around the corner.

Due to the changing of seasons and the personal status of away players, as many as three or four players in the Warriors suddenly suffered from cross-infection of influenza and were unable to play. Verus and Lenny completely followed the advice of team doctor Hu Qingnang and used The 7-man rotation lineup played the Pacers, and the healthy Hill was also pressed by them on the bench for the entire game.

The Warriors insider Dayao was exempted from the game, Uncle Mu and Big Ben were also unable to play, Verus simply did not recall Randolph from the Development League, coupled with the self-cultivated Hill and Hu Dong who was in poor physical condition, the Warriors suddenly came to the fore. Players who play in time become stretched.

It was only at this time that Verus realized clearly how terrifying those seven-man NBA teams were, almost like iron men. They played 7 regular-season games in a season, played 82 minutes per game, and had strong physical fitness.

Rookie No. 15 Paul Gasol and No. 7 Jermaine O'Neal had to prop up the sky for the Warriors' inside line. The Warriors' inside line, which was originally full of talents, suddenly fell into an embarrassing situation with no one to replace.

After all, Tracy McGrady and Bowen were reluctant to play inside. Lenny had to change formation. Gasol and O'Neal led the team to play half court respectively. One of them played center in the last quarter. Swing people who are in good condition and feel prosperous can play for a while.

Pacers center Brad Miller has been selected to the All-Star Game for the next two seasons, which shows that his strength is very strong. Needless to say, Reggie Miller represents the Pacers, and Indiana fans will never forget him. Will not forget Miller.

Well, many fans are not familiar with the name Mehta Waldpiss, but Metta World Peace and Ron Artest everyone understands that the Pacers small forward who is still called Artest has just returned from the chaos. The Bulls in China came to the Pacers, a small forward with a height of more than 2 meters and a weight of 250 pounds is also a threat to the field.

In addition to the point guard that the Pacers traded for this season, Jamal Tinsley, the rookie of the year, as well as Austin Crohill, Jonathan Bender, Jeff Foster, and Kevin Ollie. Strongman, the Pacers lineup is quite strong.

But the Warriors obviously don't want a losing streak in away games. Jermaine O'Neal and Maddy Battier Hughes Billups are not afraid of any NBA team. They played against the Pacers in the away game.

The Indiana Pacers' style of play is very rough and tyrannical. Later, they were the parties involved in the Auburn Hills Palace incident. Artest was directly suspended for the entire season. Reggie Miller and his Pacers, even in the face of the basketball god Joe The gang leader is also not at all afraid, and just confronted each other face-to-face and spat trash talk.

The Warriors, who were leading the Pacers by 32:31 in the first quarter, lost control of the field in the second quarter. The end of McGrady and O'Neal Billups made the Warriors suddenly lose the rhythm of scoring. Under the leadership of the substitute player Crohill, the latter counterattacked the Warriors.

In the second half, the Warriors still had no one to replace. Lenny saw that the defeat was set, so he simply replaced Tracy McGrady and Jermaine O'Neal ahead of schedule. It would be no problem to lose one or two regular-season games, but seriously injured one or two absolute main players, it would definitely not be worthwhile.

At 101:115 in the final game, the Warriors lost 14 points to the Pacers. Seven of the Pacers scored in double figures. McGrady, the star of the Warriors, performed well. He scored 7 points and 19 rebounds on 9 of 25 shots. He even made a cameo for a while The forward position has completed the defensive task assigned by Lenny very well.

Pau Gasol showed a maturity that is not commensurate with his age. He made 19 of 8 shots and scored 20 points and 20 rebounds. He is not like a first-year rookie at all. His offense and defense are comprehensive, which no rookie will have. fault.

Other Warriors players lost their composure in the face of the Pacers' aggressive little moves, and were often fooled into the quagmire of fouls. However, the Pacers' home players who were also provocative did not receive many foul whistles. Mental imbalance.

The head coach of the Warriors, Lenny, was expressionless and didn't say much at the press conference. There are a lot of things to learn inside and outside the NBA court. No matter how you teach, it mainly depends on the players to learn and understand. You can't stay in this big league, it's that simple.

On March 2002, 3, the Warriors returned to their home court. Their opponent will be the Los Angeles Lakers. No matter for any purpose, the Warriors do not want to continue to lose.
