Chapter 783 Alliance Rumor Board

"The Associated Press reports that O'Neal strained his calf muscle in Houston! The Lakers announced that he will miss Game 5 at home in the next game!"

"Kobe Bryant used a mythical buzzer-beater to win the Lakers' third victory in Houston. But at this moment, O'Neal is unable to attend G5. Will this be a turning point in the series?"

"Pippen claimed that he had found a way to guard Kobe! He publicly declared that Kobe was a softie and he would kill Kobe in a tough guy way!"

"Houston reports that after Kobe Bryant completed the buzzer-beating game, Dream stayed in the locker room of the arena for a long time and was unwilling to leave."

"Hundreds of fans in Houston cried bitterly after the game! They were beaten into tears by Kobe's buzzer beater."

"Barkley rudely refused to be interviewed after the game and flipped a reporter's camera to the ground."

"Faced with the joint defense of Jordan and Hill, Iverson only contributed 17 points, 23 points, and 20 points in G1, G2, and G3. The Philadelphia 76ers lost three consecutive games. They were forced into a desperate situation! Philadelphia 76 Are the guys going to be the only team to be swept in this year’s conference semifinals?”

"In the last round, Iverson averaged 34.7 points per game! Facing the Charlotte Hornets' terrifying perimeter defense, Iverson never broke 25+ in a game. This is the Charlotte Hornets' 73-win top team. Greatness of the team!”

"Grant Hill scored a huge triple-double of 35+17+16 in G3! He is known as the most comprehensive player in the entire league! North Carolina fans once again witnessed the glory of the NCAA."

"Michael Jordan casually averaged 28 points per game. This year's Jordan shooting percentage in the playoffs is as high as 53%! He wants to score, and almost no one can stop him!"

"Stockton completed a three-pointer in front of David Robinson! He got the Jazz back. The Spurs currently lead the Jazz 2:1."

"Tim Duncan dominated Karl Malone throughout the series! Postman Malone seemed at a loss in front of Duncan. He only averaged 21.3 points and 8.7 rebounds while shooting 43% from the field."

"Last year's top pick Duncan is on the right track! He will gradually become the strongest power forward in the league in the future!"

"The game between the Heat and the Pacers was a defensive battle! Mourning dominated the interior, averaging 3.8 blocks per game in the series. This season, Mourning seems to have dominance at the level of the four major centers. If You Because he appears opposite Mourning again, maybe it will be Mourning who wins this time!"

"Reggie Miller scored 9 points in 25 seconds at the critical moment! Killed G4! The Heat and Pacers tied at 2:2, and they will face the battle of Tianwang Mountain."

Back at his villa in Los Angeles, Kobe flipped through the recent news.

"It looks like Allen is going to be swept." Kobe is looking forward to Iverson's performance in G4. If he can't break through the blockade of Jordan and Hill, he will be swept out.

It seems difficult.

If Iverson was 1.90 meters tall, there might be hope. But with only an answer of 1.80, it was still too much of a struggle to face forwards like Jordan and Hill with exaggerated heights and terrifying speeds.

If it weren't for Iverson's top-notch three-point shooting under the Princeton system, it might be difficult for him to even score 15 points!

Just like Kobe Bryant defended Iverson in the previous generation, after being overwhelmed by physical talent, the Philadelphia 76ers, who were only single-core, still couldn't win the game.

After all, Odom is only a quasi-All-Star power forward, averaging 17+8+7 per game, and his performance in the playoffs can only be called satisfactory. In this way, he has no way to help in the confrontation with superstars. To Iverson.

Uncle Mu can only defend. His defense was also stretched beyond the three-point line by Divac, which made it easier for Jordan and Hill to break through.

This Philadelphia 76ers were crushed when facing the Hornets!

Not surprisingly, the Hornets will become the first team to advance in the conference finals. Many experts now believe that the team with the best chance of winning this year is the Hornets.

Champions are created by fighting! Not what experts can see!

Kobe has always been indifferent to the comments of these experts.

The two teams, the Heat and the Pacers, played at a slow pace that made fans complain again and again.

Pat Riley and Larry Bird, two old rivals, have used the scale of playoff confrontation to the extreme.

Almost every ball is a slowly grinding position!

The difference is that the Heat's Mourning played very well and they took the advantage of the penalty area.

And Reggie Miller also has a good touch, and they have an advantage in outside shooting.

It’s hard to say which side will win in the end! In a meat grinder-like battle, which side wins depends entirely on the players' willpower.

Who can persist more!

Whoever can win!

The game between the Spurs and Jazz is also interesting.

The first three games! Duncan blasted Malone!

If Stockton and Richmond hadn't exploded and forced a victory at home in G3, the Jazz would have settled this series.

An MVP-level power forward was completely blown away, which seemed incredible. But Kobe knew Malone wasn't alone.

Later generations of MVP Alphabet Song were often defeated in the playoffs, international competitions, and even strong competition.

Duncan was too restrained to let a tall guy like Malone flow on the floor!

Duncan may not seem to have much strength, but his core strength is unique among inside players!

Malone didn't knock Duncan over at all with his big elbow!

Duncan's excellent defensive prediction made Malone's fake moves difficult.

Shi Fo's height firmly enveloped Postman, and the MVP-level power forward Postman was unable to find a stable way to score for a while.

Except for the pick-and-roll with Stockton that allows him to score points, other scoring methods are almost completely blocked!

When faced with players who are not as tall as him, Malone often hits them accurately! With both strength and speed, he is always out of position almost no matter how he plays.

But facing Duncan now, Duncan is faster than the 36-year-old Malone!

Power Malone only has a slight advantage!

The shot was completely blocked by Duncan using his height and wingspan advantage.

The postman is really exhausted!

"Next game! I want to settle the battle in three quarters! We must not drag the game into the decisive time." Rudy Tomjanovich said with a cold face.

O'Neal has announced that he will not be able to play in the next game. The Lakers who have lost O'Neal are like a tiger that has lost its claws!

Even though it still has sharp teeth, its threat is greatly reduced.

In the last game, Kobe Bryant used a miraculous step-back LOGO SHOT to win the game, and Rudy Tomjanovich didn't want to mention it.

Houston's veteran players aren't willing to look back either.

They have only one goal!

That is to take advantage of O'Neal's injury and win G5!

A win is a win!

Even behind 3:1, the team lost hope of advancing.

These veterans are not willing to give up their last hope of winning the championship in their careers!

What if there is a comeback at 3:1?

That will be the greatest battle in basketball history!
