Super Lord of the Rings

The next day, major media reported the results of the Eastern Conference finals.

In the history of the NBA, the teams that have been able to reach the finals for three consecutive years are the most dominant teams in the league, including the Knicks in 51-53; The Specials; the Pistons in the late 1980s; the Bulls who won two and three consecutive championships in the 1990s; and the Lakers who staged three consecutive championships in the early 21st century.

Now, the Nets have also taken a solid step, becoming the sixth team in history to do so without much credit.

Because it may not be the dynasty that greets them, but three consecutive runners-up, that would be too embarrassing.

On June 6, the two sides will start their first contest at the Nets' home court.

ESPN invited 14 experts to form a team to analyze the current situation of the two teams and make predictions for the finals.

The Nets have the home court advantage in this finals. The schedule is 232, that is, the Nets will play two home games first, the Lakers will then play three home games, and finally the Nets will have two home games.

Among the 14 experts, 11 chose the Lakers to defeat the Nets to win the championship, and only 3 were optimistic that the Nets could win the championship. Among them, even the team reporter Leslie Hodgson of the ESPN Nets also chose the Lakers to win the championship in 7 games.

However, many ⊥, espn experts believe that this duel will be very fierce, and no one among the 14 chooses less than 6 games to decide the outcome.

In espn's online fan voting, the Lakers are still strong.

In just one day, more than 70,000 fans voted, 81% of whom were optimistic about the Lakers winning the championship, and only 19% were optimistic about the Nets. This is why the Nets attract Chinese fans. Otherwise, the support rate is lower.

Looking at the fame of the starting star, the Lakers won f4. The bench Nets had a slight upper hand. But it is generally the stars, not the substitutes, who decide the outcome. Both players have rich experience in the finals. There is no such thing as good or bad.

ESPN listed several key factors in the finals, and believes that the Lakers will win the championship again after a lapse of one year.

The first is the Lakers' singles advantage.

One part of the Nets' defense that must be done well is to interfere with O'Neal's every catch, because O'Neal has super dominance in singles inside.

Followed by cross-transposition defense.

Kittles did a good job defending against Kobe, but most of the game the two would not match up,

The presence of off-ball screens will have plenty of rotations. The last time the Nets played against the Lakers in the Finals, they did a terrible job in this regard.

Of course, Martin and Collins were too young at that time, and their defensive ability must be better than in 2002.

at last. It is the ability to score at critical moments.

At critical moments, the two teams will attack more directly and more one-on-one. The Lakers have two superstars, and the key ball looks much better than the Nets.

The three consecutive championships of the "ok combination" have proved the role of the triangle offense and the ability of the two stars. In this regard, the Nets are far behind.

Experts generally believe that Wang Jun's ability to play key shots is much better than the core Kidd, which will be a major hidden danger for the Nets.

In addition to predicting the outcome, the major media also mentioned what Wang Jun said about the Lakers at the press conference and the Lakers' contradictions. This will be the only hidden danger for the Lakers to lose.

Many Lakers fans were dissatisfied with Wang Jun's remarks.

online. Some people started a discussion with "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", thinking that Wang Jun's statement that the finals were "Battle of Guandu" was arrogant, and he thought he was a hero.

A Chinese fan who supported the Lakers posted that this was more like a "Battle of Gaixia", and the Lakers set up an ambush on all sides. The Nets are already besieged on all sides.

Komi even posted a post directly satirizing Wang Jun, saying that he would not dare to face Kobe in the finals, and would only bully the kind of off-ball players. A player without a body has no skills at all.

Ryan? Hughes read online reviews. Call Wang Jun at noon.

"Wang, didn't I tell you to pay attention to what you said? Why did you forget again? You can easily offend people like this."

Wang Jun smiled bitterly and said, "I was interviewed in Chinese. Facing the Chinese fans, I really don't want to say those boring official words. The Lakers contradictory news talks about it all day long. Does it matter if it comes from my mouth?"

Hughes said seriously: "You have to understand that it doesn't matter how many bad things the media say, that's what they do. If you say no, it's like laughing at Kobe and O'Neal, offending two stars at once, and some people will suspect you are a thorn .”

The ok combination has been blasting for a long time, but no player has publicly laughed at them. The influence of the stars is very great.

Even if the person involved is a scumbag, usually no peers will stand up and scold him, which is not good for him and will cause a commotion. If someone stood up and sprayed it, it must be that this scumbag has reached the point of no cure, such as "Big Dog" Robinson.

Wang Jun thought for a while, then smiled and said, "Lei, are you too sensitive? Let me give you an example. Two shrews yelled at the street and attracted a group of people to watch, so the police were sent. At this time, a pure The virgin was watching the fun, and couldn't help laughing a few times. Everyone would think that the virgin's character is too poor, and her quality is not as good as those two cursing shrews? Impossible? At most, she thinks she is very real and a bit silly .”

Hughes froze for five seconds on the phone before answering. "Why is your example so disgusting?"

Wang Jun smiled and said: "I think that's the reason. If people are attracted, it's definitely not because I'm a prickly head, but because I am attractive. There are so many people watching the fun, there is no one to fight, isn't it? If you don’t laugh or make a sound, you’re not watching the show? They’re just more hypocritical than me.”

Hughes found that he couldn't refute it. The example Wang Jun gave was the current situation of the Lakers, and there were too many people watching the excitement.

Wang Jun went on to say: "I am honored to be compared with Kobe by the fans. In the finals, I will definitely work hard to play well."

After chatting for a few words, Hughes encouraged him to take it easy, and hung up the phone after making good data as much as possible.

After Hughes thought about it, he felt that the reminder was a little redundant. Since Wang Jun dared to tease the infighting of the "ok group" in the interview, he would naturally not be intimidated by their fame. In contrast, he cared too much about the star's name.

The Lakers are not as strong as they appear on the surface. The inconsistency of media oversight is just the tip of the iceberg, and it is actually much more serious than people realize.

Not only among the players, but also between the players and the coach, and even within the Bass family.

Jenny Buss has helped Old Buss manage the professional baseball team since she was 19 years old. In 1999, she became the Lakers business president and the Lakers representative at the league shareholders meeting. In the eyes of outsiders, she is a symbol of the Lakers. She has been very active in Lakers operations.

Jim Buss became the assistant general manager of the Lakers in 1998 and later in charge of personnel. He has a low-key style and is not well-known, but he also intends to succeed the Lakers.

Jerry Bass is in a semi-retired state, and only one of the two will become the new head. Fighting openly and secretly is inevitable. In this kind of thing, the son inherits the father's business, but Jenny is more capable, which makes the relationship between the Lakers management complicated.

The ok combo problem has persisted for a season, with the locker room being completely divided to the point where every player has to take sides. The big man is one group, the guard is another group, Kobe and O'Neal don't talk to each other.

Not long ago, there was a gossip in Los Angeles. The news said that O'Neal refused to let the Lakers' chief trainer Gary Vitti massage his ankle because Vitti was "Kobe's man", which shows how bad the relationship is.

Will Kobe still be willing to be a younger brother like he did in the previous three seasons, play honestly and cooperate, wait for O'Neal to attract double-teams on the outside and then split the ball?

O'Neal already has 3 finals mvp's, and of course Kobe also wants to have his own, the two can't coexist at all. (To be continued.)
