Karl Malone was so moved that he said he would appear in Washington in the first game of the Finals.

Chris Webber was very angry when he said this.

Their record is first in the league, better than the Wizards. The Lakers' record is one win worse than the Wizards.

The first game of the Finals will be in Washington, which means Karl Malone thinks the Lakers will advance.

"No one believes in the Kings, but the Kings will do something that will surprise everyone. We are leading now, and we will expand the lead to more than one game next!"

This is definitely the most intense second game of the Western Conference Finals...

The fight between the two sides was so intense that Chris Webber and Shaquille O'Neal both showed 100% fighting spirit in this game, so much so that there was a spark between them on the field.

Kenny Smith had some regrets: "We almost saw two men fighting over Darling again!"

In this spark-filled game, the final victory belonged to Shaquille O'Neal.

With 36 points, 12 rebounds and 3 blocks, in a typical Shaq-style game, the Lakers narrowed the score to 1-1.

Next they will return to their home court.

In order to have more motivation to win the third game and allow the Lakers to take the lead in this series, Shaquille O'Neal specifically asked everyone to go out before the game, leaving only Kobe Bryant.

This surprised Phil Jackson. Others may not know it, but as the head coach of the team, he was the "big man behind the scenes" who instigated the relationship between the two. One thing is very clear. The communication between O'Neal and Kobe is gradually changing.

few.

And this is often the first step in "divorce".

What I didn't expect was that Shaquille O'Neal actually took the initiative to talk to Kobe at this moment.

In fact, Phil Jackson is very afraid that Shaq and Kobe will tell everything clearly, because with Shaquille O'Neal's emotional intelligence, as long as he understands what is going on, he will try his best to prevent things from going to the worst.

Walk...

And now, they're talking openly in the locker room.

Damn Jiang Dalin!

Phil Jackson placed the blame on Jiang Dalin.

He felt that if he hadn't used his words to stimulate Shaquille O'Neal, he wouldn't have been so motivated...

His hard work, now it seems, has indeed been ruined.

At this moment, Shaquille O'Neal was in the locker room, looking at Kobe.

"Shark" sat down first, and in the past, Kobe would always sit next to him and communicate with him. Of course, this past was 2000 years ago. Now, Kobe quietly sits opposite Shaq.

With just one action, Kobe said everything he wanted to say, and Shaquille O'Neal completely understood what Kobe was thinking.

"OK, man!"

"It's not a big deal!"

"Now, we have a common goal, don't we?"

"I'm going to give that Chinese guy some color, and you, if you want to beat Michael Jordan, they are all waiting for us in the finals, aren't they?"

"The Lakers have an era that belongs to Shaq, and they will also have an era that belongs to Kobe!"

"But before that happens, we must continue our dominance to ensure that this happens."

"Man, we want to get back to our previous state and kill the king!"

After Shaquille O'Neal finished speaking, he stretched out his hand first. Kobe hesitated for a moment, but still stretched out his hand.

As "Big Shark" said, They have experienced a lot of things, and some ideas cannot be discussed...

Except for Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe, no one knows what they talked about in the locker room, but that night, the gorgeous Kings' defense allowed the "ok" team to work together to penetrate it.

In comparison, their offense should be described as gorgeous.

"The two of them teamed up to score 73 points. Oh, god, I don't know what happened to them, but I'm sure something happened to them. They looked like they were back to what they looked like when they won the first championship.

Yes, if there are still media out there questioning the OK group, then they really need to shut their mouths now!"

"The most dominant duo since the 21st century once again played a wonderful game on this night!"

"2 to 1, congratulations to them!"

…

"We have to take our training seriously, guys, the trophy is just there, but that doesn't mean it will come to our hands on its own!"

Early the next morning, Michael Jordan's attitude also changed. After seeing the tacit cooperation of the "OK" team yesterday, he knew very well that this would be the most powerful opponent the Wizards had encountered this season.

Jiang Dalin was also a little surprised. After watching the few games they played before, the two sides had already secretly competed with each other on the court, but why suddenly... it was like returning to their wedding night!

Could it be that I'm overthinking it?

He is very dissatisfied with Sister Li.

Naturally, he could not have imagined what kind of impact his speech in front of the media and Michael Jordan's entry into the finals would have on the "OK" group.

And the series of impacts caused by this incident also allowed them to regain their former hard work.

When there is an opponent that must be defeated in front of them, with Shaq's competitive spirit and Kobe's competitive spirit, how can they have the intention to compete in secret?

This matter was not clarified until many years later when retired Shaquille O'Neal talked about this season. Jiang Dalin was so confused that his first words when he met Lakers general manager Kupchak that summer.

It's "Seriously, you should have kowtowed to me back then!"

There is no doubt about the dominance of the "ok" combination with a more mature style of play. Even if Michael Jordan conquered the entire 1990s, looking at them is still full of worry.

Although this is his first season back, even if he is only the overall runner-up, he is still impressive enough.

Can……

This was his original idea!

Whoever entered the finals was not aiming for the championship!

In particular, Michael Jordan is still a winning maniac.

Even though the Lakers have won two consecutive championships under the leadership of the "OK" combination and have emerged as a dynasty, Michael Jordan does not intend to rest on his laurels.

The good news is that this year's Kings are indeed in trouble. In the fourth game of the Western Conference Finals, the Kings had a very good momentum from the beginning, leading 17 to 8 and once stopping the game.

In the end, they won 107-96.

The score returned to a 2-2 tie.

Chris Webber had only one thing to say to the media after the game: "See you in Sacramento!"

Winning Game 4 of the Finals means home court advantage is back in their hands.

The "Battle of Tianwang Mountain" was held with cheers from all the fans. This was a very important event for the Kings.

In fact, it can be seen from their winning rate this season that when their ears are filled with cheers instead of boos, their performance is indeed much better.

But the strength of the "defending champion" exceeded Chris Webber's imagination. At the home court of the Kings, the "Shark" smashed the "hat" on the Kings' head.

This night, he scored 43 points and vented all his inner dissatisfaction.

Because Karl Malone was interviewed, in Washington...

Yes, this guy has gone to Washington and is waiting.

Don't think that this is a good thing about his behavior.

Think about it, if he loses to the Lakers, Karl Malone, sitting in front of the Washington statue for a photo, will show his white teeth.

What would the same Jiang Dalin who regarded him as his idol say to the media?

"I have always thought that the guys I should beat the most are Shaq and his Lakers, but unfortunately, they failed to come to the finals as promised. I am very disappointed..."

When he thought of these words coming out of Jiang Dalin's mouth, Shaq felt an uncontrollable impulse.

He decided to go to the finals, even God and Jesus can't stop him, Shaquille O'Neal said!

In fact, when the game got to this point, it was all over for the Kings.

You know, originally this season's Western Conference Finals, after the fifth game, the Kings were in the lead. They only needed one game to advance to the finals.

With the gesture of eliminating the Lakers...

But they failed to seize the two match points and were abruptly reversed.

And now, they are even lagging behind.

And the sixth game of the Western Conference Finals will be played at Staples, the home court of the Lakers.

How important the home court is to Chris Webber and the Kings, this can be seen from the sixth game.

The Kings missed seven consecutive shots in the opening game.

As for the "ok" group, you can describe them as taking doping, and you may even have enough reasons to doubt them, and then send them for a urine test after the game.

The two broke out again and scored 70 points together.

This is the third time this has happened in this series.

Bill Walton couldn't help but sigh: "This is the luck of the fans in this era, they can see such a powerful duo performing!"

He felt sorry for the fans of his era.

"Okay, at this moment, we can finally shout that sentence!"

"Michael Jordan, and his fellow newbies, look out, possibly the greatest duo in history will play in Washington tomorrow!"

"Wash your butts clean, and when the time comes, you will see their clear footprints!"

"The defending champions will return to the final stage, just like they did last time!"

When Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal hugged each other tightly, Jiang Dalin felt like he could sound the alarm!

This will definitely be the most difficult opponent.

In fact, he never thought that such a thing would happen...

He thought that his opponent would be the OK combination.

But I never thought they would be an "ok" group that works closely together.

This is not the same concept.

Obviously, the relaxing journey ends here.

In the final battle, they will face the powerful defending champion Los Angeles Lakers!

Jiang Dalin rarely suffered from insomnia that night. It wasn't until about 4 o'clock in the morning that his body functions entered a state of exhaustion, and he fell into a deep sleep.

According to the schedule, they will officially usher in the first game of the finals on June 4, which is tomorrow.

This game will be played at the home court of the Wizards.

In fact, this is not good news, because the format of the finals in this era is still 2-3-2.

Jiang Dalin didn't understand. What bastard came up with this unique competition system just to highlight that the next game was the "finals"?

What about the promised home field advantage?

Whenever the Lakers win a game at the Wizards' home court, then when they return to their home court, it is very likely that they will take them away with a wave of three consecutive victories.

That leaves two home courts for the Wizards to use next season.

Scott also felt that during the regular season, it seemed that he might have won one or two more games.

Of course, Jordan has a different view. In his opinion, as long as he goes to Los Angeles with a 2-0 score, then three consecutive away games will look like a trip.

"That's how I got my two three consecutive championships, a total of six championship rings!"

After Jiang Dalin heard this, he relaxed a lot: "Okay, at least for now, it seems that this schedule will not affect anything."

Michael Jordan nodded first, then turned to glance at Jiang Dalin with some confusion. He always felt that this little brat was hinting at something.

For example...since you have no influence, then we must have no influence either.

Crazy!

I am the "God of Basketball"!

Um……

Michael Jordan feels that his language arts need to be further improved.

As the finals get closer and closer, Washington has become the most lively place in the United States.

At least for NBA fans, that's the case.

In order to cheer for Washington, fans wearing Wizards uniforms can be seen everywhere in the streets.

David Stern once again lamented that not stopping Michael Jordan's comeback was a very wise decision.

Michael is Michael.

At first, he was worried that it would affect the impression of "God" in the hearts of fans.

But now it seems that his "god-making plan" is so successful because of Michael Jordan.

There is no doubt that this season, the NBA has reached a new height!

Especially since the Wizards also have a new player named Jiang Dalin!

The NBA entered the Chinese market much faster than David Stern expected.

Wait until next year when the "Little Giant of the East" will also enter the NBA. It is not difficult to imagine what kind of craze the NBA will cause in China.

Of course, these are all things for later!

Now, there is a scene that is enough to make David Stern feel excited.

The "Michael Jordan successor" he exaggerated will face Jordan in the finals.

At the same time, the feud between Shaquille O'Neal and Jiang Dalin is also constantly being exaggerated in the news media.

Now, all the media knows that a super star who calls himself "the next Karl Malone" is about to replace Karl Malone and continue their confrontation with Shaquille O'Neal!

This is undoubtedly a very exciting thing.

At the same time as these media reports were being reported, Jiang Dalin was eating in a restaurant in Washington. Sitting opposite him was also a muscular guy.

And the muscles in his body are much more powerful than those of ordinary big men.

It’s none other than Karl Malone!

And this meal was actively invited by Karl Malone...
