"Setter, 30 ESPN experts predicted the outcome of the Finals, and 21 experts actually chose the Bulls to win."

"Those ESPN experts are all Jordan's lickers! We are no longer the Lakers last year! Can't they see the changes this year?"

"Kobe has become a better basketball player than Michael. This is an indisputable fact! If Michael is 28 years old, he may still be able to compete with Kobe, but now, Michael is old! He has to serve his age!"

"The average of 37.5 points per game in the series is already terrifying. It is not at all comparable to Kobe's 40+10+10 triple-double."

"The new king changes! We, the Lakers, will win this battle!"

On June 3, 1998, in the Great Western Forum Arena, three hours before the start of the game, Lakers fans had almost filled the venue!

This is why Buss chose to build a new arena. The new arena has more seats and the Lakers can sell more tickets! Ticket revenue is still the main source of income for each team rather than TV broadcasts. Since the Lakers can sell tickets so well, of course they must find ways to provide more tickets!

Of course, if the broadcast contract is negotiated in the summer. So maybe, these are all trivial

"Jerry! Can we win the cup this year?" Bass sat in the box and resisted the urge to go to the locker room several times.

This was the fourth time he asked Jerry West today. West smiled, saying that a business tycoon like Old Bass was actually obsessed with the authorities. It's really unusual for your boss to behave like this.

"Believe in your players."

Old Bass nodded vigorously. Los Angeles was destined to have sleepless nights tonight.

"Kobe, you want to wear the No. 24 jersey again? You were fined $30,000 last time!"

"My dear, the fine in the finals will be even more terrifying."

"Maybe Stern is also happy to see the drama of 23VS24."

"23 to die! 24 to stand! Brothers are rebelling! Kill Jordan! Stand up for Kobe!" Kobe's little fan Stephen Jackson jumped on the bench in the locker room and shouted to the sky.

"Shadow! What are you talking about?" Wu Sheng was instantly dragged down by a group of people and beaten violently.

The Lakers have never recognized that No. 23 Jordan dominated them!

Even when they lost to the Bulls last year, the Lakers players just felt like they were losing. Lost to time, lost to experience.

One more year, we will definitely win! This is what the Lakers players thought after last season.

And now! coming!

The Lakers are in the Finals again.

opposite? It’s not contrary!

Instead, he defeated the Bulls with dignity and dignity! Win the throne of the most dazzling basketball world!

The most difficult year to win the championship! The year with the most historically strong teams! A year of superstar blowout!

This year, everything will become a foil and will become the most dazzling trophy under the Lakers' throne.

Kobe chewed gum, wore huge headphones, raised the corners of his mouth, and looked at the noisy Lakers players.

I remember the scene before last year's finals. Xiaoyu was shaking even when he spoke, and Eddie Jones was equally nervous.

Last year, they didn't play so relaxedly.

Progressed and grown.

Kobe is by no means the only one who has become stronger this year.

O'Neal became a complete shark.

Eddie Jones has grown from 13+5+4 last year to an All-Star guard with 17+6+5.

Bowen's crucial and decisive steal in G3 in the last series.

A small fish with increasingly stable three-pointers and organization.

A player whose defense and physical fitness are at a higher level.

Everyone has become stronger!

From physical skills to mentality. The Lakers have transformed. Now the Lakers can say with dignity that we have the temperament of a champion! This is why even in the ESPN Base Camp, 1/3 of the experts still voted for the Lakers to win.

You know, the number of votes for the Lakers to win last year was - zero!

All of this is to wash away the shame of last year!

Last year’s finals, those experiences will be remembered by everyone.

Everything that can't kill me will eventually make me stronger!

Now the Lakers are back!

Bulls, are you ready to face the Lakers who are coming back from hell?

"Good evening, gentlemen and ladies! This is the National Men's Basketball Professional League brought by NBC! Finals! Chicago Bulls VS Los Angeles Lakers!" Kenny Smith, Magic Johnson, and Doug Collins all appeared on the commentary desk. forward.

This is the finals!

This is the highest stage in basketball!

This is the center of the world!

"There is still an hour before the game starts. Let us first review the legendary scenes of the Lakers and Bulls this season."

"The first is Kobe's 81-point night! That night! How many fans will remember it. This can be said to be one of the most classic games in the entire NBA. There is no video of the game where Chamberlain scored 100 points, and this A game that will still be watched by countless fans in the future.”

"Then there is Kobe's unprecedented quintuple-double. Five-doubles and 34 consecutive wins. This is an important factor in Kobe's MVP win at the age of less than 20. As we all know, a triple-double determines whether a player is versatile. The standard of measurement, and a five-double is a miracle. This proves that Kobe is an extremely comprehensive player in all aspects. The MVP is not prepared for the player with the highest score, but the most comprehensive player will definitely win the MVP. "

"Faced with being double-teamed by Jordan and Pippen, celebrating a buzzer-beater without watching the ball! I heard that many Bulls players still wake up from their dreams. This kind of confidence is unprecedented. Even Larry Bird would not dare to do it. If you miss this move, you will fall into an abyss, and you may not even be able to hit the ball."

"At the All-Star Game, OK all won the AMVP trophy, chasing points like crazy! That scene is still unforgettable."

"Ten steals! Ten steals for a superstar who can score 30+ points even when double-teamed by Jordan and Pippen. That game established Kobe's honor as the best defensive player!"

"The next step is the playoffs! 24 seconds and 11 points! 30 points in a single quarter! We won an impossible-to-win game!"

"Fallback three-pointer! Win the scoring title!"

"OK connection, let O'Neal beat the other three centers!"

"This is why some people say that this year should be called the year of Kobe. There is no doubt about Kobe's greatness."

"And Michael Jordan on the other side is equally legendary this season, no less generous!"

"With Pippen absent, he led the team to remain first in the Eastern Conference for a long time! Averaged 38 points per game in a single month!"

"Averaging 30.1 points, 5.8 rebounds, 4.4 assists, 1.8 steals, 0.6 blocks, and 2.3 turnovers per game this season. He added three-pointers and body deflections to his arsenal! It made his offense even more difficult to defend. His scoring average was second only to Kobe Bryant, and he was the only one to average per game in his second season. 30+ players.”

"Knockout Magic! Advance to the Finals! Averaged 37.5 points per game in the series!"

"Dunk Mutombo! Kill the giant who averages 3.8 blocks per game!"

"Blow up Penny+Dumas+Mahon! No one can defend him!"

"Michael's condition! It continues to improve!"
