Chapter 738 Christmas War! Lakers VS Hornets!

December 8, 1998!

In such a freezing season.

The Lakers face the second-place Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference at home!

This is a matchup between the league's first and the Eastern Conference's second. Many people believe that the Miami Heat are a team that is very likely to break the Lakers' winning streak.

This year's Heat, the run-in of the Big Three, has reached its peak!

Tim Hardaway averaged 20+9 per game, Mourning averaged 21+12 per game, and Marshburn averaged 16+7 per game!

Although the data is not explosive, it is the data produced by integrating into the team's offense and not swallowing a lot of ball rights.

The Heat average 116.5 points per game, ranking second in the league!

Second only to the Lakers! Even higher than a wasp!

This game was once expected by many people to be the Lakers' Waterloo battle.

The game started, just as the experts predicted, Mourning defended O'Neal to the death!

O'Neal was in very bad shape during his fat loss period. But there is no way around it. He must control his diet and put his body in a fat-burning state.

In this state, the entire player's strength, speed, and endurance will be significantly reduced, and the risk of injury will even increase.

There's no way around it. O'Neal must be fully prepared for the playoffs!

Ewing fiercely withstood O'Neal in this game!

Coupled with the Heat's perimeter players, it feels hot!

This made it difficult for the Lakers. At the end of the first half, they were 13 points behind!

But soon the game trend turned into Kobe alone versus Hardaway + Mashburn!

Kobe Bryant played 42 minutes!

Scored 45 points, 13 rebounds and 4 assists! Once again, he changed his destiny and won the game!

"Who else can stop Kobe!"

"No! There is no miracle! Except for the Charlotte Hornets, no other team can beat this Lakers!"

"There are still more than ten days until the Christmas game! Everyone has pinned their hopes of ending the Lakers' winning streak on Jordan and Hill!"

"We're going to play against the Lakers soon."

Late at night, in a villa in Charlotte, Zen Master Phil Jackson couldn't sleep.

The Lakers this season have made him feel unprecedented pressure.

This kind of pressure has never been experienced by a Zen master in his entire career.

Even when the Bulls were eliminated by the Celtics in the first round, and even when they fell in front of the bad boy Pistons, Phil Jackson didn't feel this way.

"Are you old?"

Scared!

The five-time championship coach, Phil Jackson, was actually a little worried about what would happen after losing the game before this game.

The few people in the coaching world who are qualified to compete for GOAT are a little uneasy at this time.

The failure of last year's Last Dance still lingers in the Zen master's mind.

The original plans and dreams were severely shattered by Kobe!

The collapse of the Dynasty Bull seemed very unseemly.

Miserable failure!

Kobe crushed this dynasty team hard.

Many fans feel that there is no winner between Jordan and Kobe, but the gap between the Lakers and the Bulls has reached a huge disparity.

Zen Master and Jordan also recognized this, so they came to North Carolina hand in hand.

They have only one goal, and that is to win the championship!

For the championship! They can give everything!

This year, Jordan spent most of the time playing tricks on Grant Hill!

Although Hill's number of shots is not as good as Jordan's, he has more ball rights than Jordan!

This is a concession that Jordan has never made throughout his career.

for what?

The purpose is to make Hill grow faster! Let him become the X factor between Jordan and Kobe like O'Neal!

Hill doesn't put high expectations either. This season's offense and defense have gone up a notch. It's not easy for a superstar to make further progress!

Jordan and Jackson have completely agreed with this humble and humble No. 1 small forward in the league!

He is much better than Pippen.

"Grant, whether you can guard Kobe will be the most critical point in whether we can defeat the Lakers."

The Zen master's eyes looked far, far away through the dark North Carolina dawn.

"This is a preview of the finals!" Michael Jordan used a knife to gently open the cigar.

With a hand full of rings, he lit a cigar and took a puff.

Narrow your eyes and puff out smoke.

"Michael, we must win this time!" The 37-year-old Rodman had a glimmer of revenge in his eyes. This season, Rodman averaged 14.7 rebounds per game, still ranking first in the league!

No one could have imagined that a blue-collar power forward player who was not very tall could still maintain such a state at the age of 37.

Even Kobe has to admire Rodman's endurance.

There is almost no difference between Rodman this year and Rodman in the year of 72 wins.

With Divac playing outside, Rodman alone held up the Hornets' rebounding and interior defense!

A 37-year-old player with a minimum salary, he contributed a quasi-DPOY level performance in the Hornets. I have to say that Rodman is really talented.

In North Carolina, when the Lakers players headed from the plane to the hotel, they had to admire the changes in Charlotte in just a few months.

"Is this really North Carolina? Charlotte? That city that was almost destroyed by the hurricane?"

"A new look."

"I never thought the NBA would one day cause such a big sensation in North Carolina."

"This is the effect of Michael Jordan. Even though they are the home base of the NCAA, they still fell."

There are a lot of Jordan graffiti on the streets, almost decorating the city of Charlotte into the next Chicago.

It's Christmas!

And Michael Jordan fans appear more frequently than Christmas trees!

"It's too exaggerated."

"This game has attracted so much attention."

"We can't lose this game."

"BOSS, the hype of this game has been ignited! Media attention, related searches on Twitter, and celebrity interest are all very high! This is the first time that so many celebrities will watch the game on Christmas in North Carolina. !" Xiao Hua happily reported to Stern.

"Jordan VS Kobe! This kind of traffic topic can ignite the attention of the whole world every time."

"Having Jordan end Kobe's winning streak would probably cause everyone's attention to the NBA to explode!"

"Stop your little thoughts." Stern glared at Xiao Hua, who was hitting Xiao Jiujiu.

He began to doubt whether it was the right choice for him to regard Xiao Hua as his successor.

Why is he always thinking about scripts?

This is the NBA! Not WWE!

"BOSS, isn't this for our alliance?"

"Some superstars are born to be the best directors. As an audience, we just need to enjoy the game."

"This Christmas war is destined to be exciting."
