The Strongest Player: Infinite Future

November 1st, Staples Center.

None of the seats in the stadium were absent. Fans wearing purple and gold jerseys occupied the entire Staples Center, with enthusiastic cheers overwhelming.

This is also Staples' normal state. Even if Kobe started to go downhill and the Lakers entered a period of rebuilding, the Lakers' seats have not been vacant too much.

And since the man turned out two years ago, Staples tickets have become difficult to grab again, and the fares are increasing day by day, it is still hard to find a ticket!

The arrival of the two championship trophies once again brings the Lakers' market to the heat again!

And last year, the Lakers surpassed the Celtics to become the team with the most championship trophies in history, and finally overwhelmed their opponents in the competition between the two giants!

The source of all this comes from one person-Yu Huo!

Today, the Lakers will once again welcome their opponent in the Finals in the past two years-Lebron James!

He led a brand new team and came to Los Angeles to challenge!

When the Lakers entered the field, the fans gave enthusiastic cheers, but when the Spurs entered the field, they laughed and booed.

The attitude of the fans is from the standpoint of the fans, they hate not James, but the Spurs!

The former rival of the Lakers-the San Antonio Spurs!

The favorites are always tit-for-tat, but it was 1999 that the Lakers really hated the Spurs.

That year Kobe was still a stunned young man with a rookie contract. He met the Spurs in the playoffs and was swept away and lost very embarrassingly.

Since then, the Lakers have been brooding about the Spurs.

Revenge has been entrenched in the hearts of the Lakers. As Kobe matures and O'Neal's peak comes, the Lakers begin their journey——

In 2001, in the Western Conference Finals, the Lakers made a shame and successfully swept the Spurs to advance, and won two consecutive championships!

In 2002, in the Western Conference semifinals, the "OK combination" had completely reached the peak, defeating the Spurs again 4-1, winning the dynasty's three consecutive championships!

However, in 2003, the Spurs blocked the Lakers' dream of 4 consecutive championships. Kobe Bryant averaged 32 points and the Spurs still took the game 4-2.

However, a year later, in 2004, the Lakers and Spurs met again in the Western Conference semifinals.

The two teams that have won the previous five years of championships have met in the playoffs for the fifth time in six years. It has to be said that it is really a confrontation of heroes of the times.

The two sides won two home games and tied 2-2. In the battle of Tianwangshan, the Lakers relied on Fisher's magical goal of 0.4 seconds to win. In the sixth game, the Lakers' defense was like a bronze wall and an iron wall. In the end, the Spurs were eliminated by a big score of 4 to 2.

In 2008, it was the Western Conference Finals. Under the leadership of Kobe, the Lakers without O'Neal still defeated the Spurs 4-1 to advance to the Finals.

Until 2013, the two sides met again in the first round. That year Kobe struggled with injuries to bring the Lakers into the playoffs, but he missed all the games and could only watch the team lose off the court and was swept out by the Spurs again. .

Since then, the Lakers began to decline, smashed, won the lottery, and looked forward to picking a genius who could turn the team, but it was not achieved until Kobe retired.

Fortunately, Yu Huo came, after Kobe retired!

And the Spurs ushered in the hope of rising with only one "GDP" left!

The two teams that have competed since the beginning of the last century have to open the confrontation mode again!
