Chapter 770 Fighting Houston Again!

"This is the second time the Lakers and Houston have played against each other in three years!"

"The team with the most stars in the league VS the star with the strongest individual ability in the league!"

"Shark O'Neal battles against Olajuwon again! Another showdown between the four major centers!"

"OK versus the Big 5!"

"The coach with the strongest bench group in the league!"

"The Spurs are not as dominant as expected, so the winner between the Lakers and Houston will advance to this year's finals!"

The series hasn’t started yet! The game gimmick between the Lakers and Houston is already hyped!

Although the Spurs and Jazz are strong teams, they still focus on defense, do not have many stars, and their lineups on paper are not particularly luxurious, so they do not attract much attention from fans.

The game between the Lakers and Houston is completely different!

The combined stars of the two teams are already counted on both hands!

The benches of both teams are also the best in the league, and are more than one level better than the Hornets, Heat, and 76ers in the East.

This year's best sixth man is Houston's alien Cassel! He averages 25 minutes per game and can score 15+5! If you put him on a bad team and make him the boss, it wouldn't be surprising even if he averages 22+8 All-Star-level performance data.

Cassel's contract with Houston is expiring this year!

Several teams have already offered him an olive branch! This 29-year-old point guard is in his prime! Even winning a multi-million dollar contract is reasonable.

Among the players who compete most fiercely with Cassell for the Sixth Man of the Season Award is the Lakers' rookie "Argentine Eagle" Ginobili.

Of course, Ginobili averaged 18 minutes per game and played less time. Although the 10+3 performance is also very good, compared with Kessel's data, it still looks a lot colder. In addition, he is only a rookie, and the bias in comments is still very obvious.

In addition, the Suns' Kevin Johnson averaged 12+4 per game, which is also considered good. But because he was once a superstar, he still lost.

Starks of the Knicks, averaging 15+3+3 per game, is Cassel's biggest competitor. In the end, the league gave the honor to Houston, which had a better record!

After all, when several giants were injured and resting, Houston's offensive firepower was completely supported by the alien Cassel.

"Manu! In this series, you have to prove that you are better than Cassel!" Xiaoyu patted the team's rookie on the shoulder with a deep look, like a big brother.

"Ah?" Ginobili was a little confused. I was just a rookie, and that guy was a long-established player. When he won the championship in Houston, I was still playing in the dirt in Argentina!

"We can't embarrass the Lakers! When the boss was a rookie, he destroyed the entire league! As a rookie, shouldn't you learn from the following boss's Mamba mentality?" Xiaoyu looked like he hates the iron that cannot be transformed into steel, and his coach's style Full.

"But."

"Shut up, Xiaoyu! You are the one who embarrasses the Lakers the most." Campbell came over and gave Xiaoyu a bang! Who did Xiaoyu learn the style of an old football ruffian from?

"Don't listen to his nonsense, be normal. Just play to your own level." Eddie Jones smiled slightly.

"The atmosphere of the team is so good, this is the champion." Byron Scott looked at the noisy Lakers players with a look of relief. The same was true for SHOWTIME back then. Magic was very talkative and funny, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was also happy to hand over control of the team's locker room to Magic.

Thinking of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Byron Scott glanced at O'Neal with some pity.

"Shaq's talent is definitely not worse than Kareem's, but if he continues like this, his achievements may never be as good as Kareem's."

"We've waited too long for this moment." Charles Barkley gears up.

From Philadelphia! Come to Phoenix! Come to Houston!

Fliggy has been chasing a dream, a championship dream.

Along the way, he lost a lot. He lost the care of his former boss Dr. J, lost the fans in Phoenix who loved him and his teammates who fought alongside him, and lost his position as the core of the team's tactics.

But he has not lost his heart for a championship!

undeniable!

Flying pigs play ball very dirty! A bad guy on and off the field! There are countless players in the league who hate him, and many fans are fed up with him!

But he is a great basketball player!

Even in history, Barkley is the only player who is only 1.98 meters tall and can play well at the power forward position!

No one knows how much price Barkley paid!

Now! An opportunity to defeat his former rival and compete for the championship was placed in front of him!

Buckley clenched his fists.

"This time, I won't miss this opportunity!"

"Hakeem, are you confident in suppressing O'Neal now?" Drexler patted his old teammate on the back.

Dameng's eyes were blazing as he flipped the basketball back and forth in his hands.

"The current O'Neal is not the strongest O'Neal."

Although I am no longer the strongest dreamer I once was! But there is no problem in fighting O'Neal.

"You mean his physical condition? He has almost adjusted before the playoffs. In the bombardment with the Suns, he also averaged an excellent performance of 24+13 per game."

"Data cannot explain everything. Shaq's inside line is now full of contradictions."

Olajuwon understands the psychology of the Sharks.

On the one hand, the team achieved a record that was beyond his expectation at the beginning of his career, and gained the spotlight, love from fans, and praise from the media that he had never imagined.

These intoxicated O'Neal and made him happy.

On the other hand, Shark watched his little brother who was once inferior to him grow into a god-level player who can compete for GOAT status in just a few seasons. This made Shark full of envy in his heart.

once Upon a time! O'Neal is the talented young man who has high hopes for inheriting the glory of the league's center, surpassing his predecessors, and becoming the number one center in history.

But now O'Neal, most people regard him as the best helper around Kobe! Even for his status as the league's top center, many people believe that he stole this status because of the aging of the other four major centers.

All this made O'Neill's sensitive mind feel uncomfortable.

On the one hand, O'Neal is addicted to glory, but on the other hand, he is not reconciled to the current glory.

This kind of rebellious mentality makes him want to compete with Kobe for the ball, but he is unwilling to destroy all the achievements of the current team.

So far, the big shark is in such a tangled state.

Such a big shark is definitely not the strongest shark.
