Lakers locker room.

"Hahaha!"

Gloves Payton laughed, "Although I won't do this kind of thing, Su Yan will be banned for the first 4 games of the finals, which is a confirmed fact."

That bull is a plate of loose sand

and can't wait for Su Yan to return, we can easily win the championship in a wave! "

Steady!"

The smile on Camaron's face couldn't stop at all.

"Hey, hey, hey!"

O'Neill also danced when he was happy, "My fourth championship is coming!!

"Oh!"

"Lakers championship!"

All Lakers players, Deyun is immersed in the joy of winning the championship.

There is only one person.

Only Bryant sat quietly on the sofa and looked at a data sheet in deep thought.

What datasheet?!

The entire Western Conference finals series, the Lakers team averaged data per game.

In a total of 6 games, "Shark" O'Neal averaged 26.4 points, 12.8 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 0.5 steals and 3.4 blocks per game while only making 16.8 shots.

And "Peter Pan" Kobe Bryant averaged only 25.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, 5.1 assists, 2.2 steals and 0.5 blocks per game while averaging 27.2 shots per game.

In the case of 10.4 shots less, O'Neal scored higher than Kobe, and the efficiency piece, O'Neal finished Kobe.

Albeit.

In the first few games, Kobe Bryant forced his own shots, and did not give O'Neal's behavior, resulting in a sharp decline in efficiency.

But that's what it is.

Throughout the Western Conference finals series, O'Neal played much better than Kobe.

This left fans in the midst of the discussion, the cries for the Finals MVP.

O'Neal will always be taller than Kobe.

Kobe Bryant also realized this problem after reading the data, if he continues to fight like this.

Even if he wins the Finals, he won't get FMVP, and he is still the Lakers' second boss in the eyes of outsiders.

Even if it is the second in command of the Pippen level.

He Kobe Bryant also did not want to be, and did not want to be again.

"Nope! I think no matter what, no matter what way, I have to play better than O'Neill's guy, if not.

I'd rather lose the series than let him get FMVP.

I definitely can't continue to live under O'Neal, I'm going to be the boss of the team!!

A chill flashed in Kobe's eyes.

......

Three days later.

Finals. The Bulls vs Lakers are finally coming.

Pre-match expert predictions.

More than 90% of experts believe the Lakers will sweep the Bulls 4-0 to win the championship.

Less than 2% of experts believe the Bulls will go through a best-of-seven battle to reverse the Lakers to win the championship.

"Boom!"

Despite the absence of Su Yan, it is difficult for the Bulls to win the Lakers.

But the finals are destined to come, and the series has just begun.

Home Bulls fans still cheered for the players with the warmest cheers, hoping that they could play well and persevere until Su Yan returned.

After a while.

The main race is coming!

“jumo、ball！"

A scrum between Dayao and O'Neill.

Who wins?

"Snap!"

O'Neal took the lead and didn't even win the scrum, and the Bulls sensed something bad from the start.

However.

When everyone thought that the Lakers would keep pressing the Bulls in a crushing posture, and finally won the game easily.

The Bulls won by four points after the first quarter.

Half-time.

The Bulls still have a seven-point lead.

"What's the situation?"

Kenny Smith looked puzzled on the narration.

"Uh..."

Barkley touched his chin and said in a deep voice, "Kobe is not willing to give Oreo the ball."

He has been forcibly attacking, although he has this ability.

But his intentions are too obvious, and the Bulls are easy to put pressure on the defense, so his efficiency can't be particularly high.

O'Neill couldn't get the ball again, so he could only attack twice in the form of a protective frame, how could he play like this.

The OK group doesn't seem to be playing seriously again, and they are competing with each other, which is why they are lagging behind. "

The Lakers bench.

Phil Jackson found Kobe again and said seriously, "Kobe Bryant, what are you doing?" Why don't you play well?

Hasn't it all been said before?

Win the championship first!

"I've been playing well, why do you keep talking about me?!" Bryant asked rhetorically.

"Do you see you're playing well like that?"

Phil Jackson's face gradually became ugly.

Kobe's face also gradually became ugly, he slowly raised his head and stared at Phil Jackson indifferently, "I said I was playing well, if you think I'm playing randomly."

Or I won't be on it, you let O'Neill lead the team alone!

"Kobe, what do you mean by that?!"

Phil Jackson had a cold face.

"I'm just telling you I've been playing seriously, but if you keep picking, then I can't help it."

Kobe Bryant is tough.

Phil Jackson was silent and it was impossible to keep Kobe out of the court.

In this series, the OK combination is indispensable.

Other than that...... Even without Kobe, the Lakers could win the Finals.

But because of Kobe's current popularity and strength, as well as his extremely high ceiling, it is a very irrational thing to put him on the bench.

The management will not agree, and the fans will not agree.

Because there are many things that you can't just think about the present, but also about the future.

There is no way.

Seeing Kobe so tough, he also knew what it meant, and he could only let him go.

But.

Even so, after returning from the second half, the Lakers easily recovered the seven-point difference.

Last section.

Although Kobe Bryant was not efficient, he forced multiple shots to get the points he deserved.

And O'Neal also realized that Kobe Bryant began to not give himself the ball again, and he was too lazy to ask for the ball, and directly pestled under the basket.

The frame grabs the rebound first, then goes on the offense and then goes to score.

Dayao is only a second grade, facing the "Big Shark" O'Neal, who is still at his peak and is still the strongest center in the league, he is no different.

Ultimately.

Rao is OK combination In the real situation, the Lakers still easily won by 13 points and won the first game of the Finals.

This game is won.

The fans quit.

"What is this?!

The OK combination has already put the contradiction on our faces, they are already playing indiscriminately, they can still win like this, so what is the meaning of such a final?

"Yes, the OK group has a problem with itself, they don't want to win the game anymore, and they can still win easily."

The Bulls wanted to win the game, but they didn't let the core of the team play, did everything they could, and lost the game.

What is this?

Is this the original intention of basketball?!

"I can't accept it."

"I hope to postpone Su Yan's suspension punishment until next season and let Su Yan play in the finals."

"I approve!"

"I agree too!"

"Don't let Su Yan play, such a finals are simply boring, not interesting at all!"

"Protest and protest, let Su Yan play!"

"

Bulls fans don't look at it at all.

One by one, the shouting alliance hopes to let Su Yan play in advance.

Some impetuous, grumpy fans watched the Bulls being toyed with by the Lakers to applause.

Totally infuriating.

The wave even pulled up banners and stormed the streets to demonstrate and put pressure on the coalition!!
