Chapter 843 Is This an Ambush by the Lakers?

It's another year's finals. By the time of G1 of the finals on June 6, Philadelphia, which had been dormant for a long time, became lively. The 76ers' home stadium, the First League Center Arena, was crowded with people. There were reporters from various media before the game. Interviewing players and coaches from both sides... until the game was about to start and everyone returned to the locker room to prepare, Phil Jackson seemed more excited than usual.

When I coached the Bulls, I was very high-spirited. I never expected that I would be beaten badly by Li Shengli. Every time I beat a team with Li Shengli, the inside line would be blown up. So Phil Jackson was thinking... If the Bulls had Li Shengli, From the beginning of 1992 to the end of this year, it was impossible for others to touch the championship.

Now with the Lakers, although Jordan is no longer there, there is Kobe.

As two players with extremely similar styles, Phil Jackson saw the deepest traces and shadows of Jordan in Kobe. The effect of working with Li Shengli was superb. The results achieved by the two also greatly eased his initial problems. Endless resentment towards Li Shengli.

Now it’s the finals again.

Although some media before the game ridiculed the Lakers for letting Ben go and creating a rival for the finals, Phil Jackson thought it was great and even thought that they had suggested letting Ben go. Li Shengli's sharp judgment and far-reaching planning are different from ordinary people.

You know, Da Ben was captured by Li Shengli.

At first, including even West, who was always known for his knowledge of people and personally handled the Kobe Bryant trade, everyone did not believe that this undrafted rookie could make any mistakes, but in fact, Ben showed amazing talent on the defensive end.

Logically speaking, if you show your talent, you should cultivate it, and the contract is not expensive.

But as soon as Ben made some impact, the Lakers let him go. However, the 76ers got Ben after...the Celtics lineup was formed, and this stumbling block really put O'Neal and several others away this season. He tripped and fell, and his face was covered in blood.

…

The Lakers are afraid of the Celtics, and it's hard to say if they will fight again.

But the Lakers are not afraid of the 76ers. The Celtics can't cure it, but the Lakers can!

So this situation couldn't be better. I can't help but Phil Jackson didn't think that this big game was played extremely beautifully. Looking at Li Shengli again, and thinking about his operation in letting Crotty go to the Wizards this season...

In fact, neither Ben nor Crotty is directly needed by the Lakers, but they are Li Shengli's confidants.

Now Ben has successfully entered the Eastern Conference and became a forward for the Lakers. Soon after, Crotty supported the Wizards... Whether Phil Jackson is the Lakers coach or his relationship with Jordan, he knows it. I deeply suspect that Li Shengli is trying to ambush the Celtics and O'Neal again. After all, after the Wizards' reorganization plan is completed, the water in the Eastern Conference will become even muddier.

Is this arresting O'Neal to death?

How much hatred and resentment is this?

If the Wizards and 76ers disrupt the situation again next season, the Celtics' giant lineup will really collapse.

Phil Jackson felt sad that O'Neal had the bad luck of eight lifetimes and met Li Shengli, but Li Shengli, who was sitting in the locker room, had no such idea at all... Regardless of whether it was Ben or Crotty, all of him The starting point is to hope that everyone can play well and earn more. As for O'Neal, he was just accidentally injured by an unknown AOE. No one really harmed him!

…

"Lee, Ben has been a bit powerful recently. Do you think he will beat you up today?" Kobe asked with a giggle, because there was not much pressure in the game. What he wanted to see most was Ben beating Li Shengli. picture.

"You should think about how to compete with Allen!" Li Shengli glanced at Kobe who was looking at the joke and said: "As for Ben..."

"Damn it, boss, look at me, I'll go find him!" Artest waved his fist, while several teammates of Kobe and Ben at the same time were stunned when they heard this, looking at Artest in disbelief. He was so angry that he cursed: "What the hell, you don't believe me?"

"Well... Ben has a bad temper, Ron."

"Damn, it seems like who has a good temper?"

"That's up to you, just don't be impatient."

"How is it possible that I would be afraid of him?"

"Who knows, anyway, I won't hit you if Li is here. If Li is not here, then I can't tell."

"Stop joking, try it later!"

…

Until warm-up on the court.

The Lakers' starting lineup today is Li Shengli, Grant, Artest, Kobe, and Fisher.

Originally, according to Phil Jackson's wishes, Crotty was going to start against Iverson, but considering Fisher's recent state is so good, he tends to choose the former in offense and defense, so there is no problem with this starting.

As for the 76ers' starting lineup.

In addition to Iverson and Ben, the candidate for power forward is Te'lon Hill. He was also a player who became a substitute for the 94-95 All-Stars. He was at his peak that season, averaging 14+11 per game. Now there are 9+9, but the defense is sufficient, and the offense when paired with Ben is really not strong. More importantly, he assists Iverson.

There is also Aaron McGee, who won the Sixth Man of the Year award this season. His personal data is relatively balanced and he has a certain scoring ability. He averaged 11.6 points, 4.1 rebounds, 5 assists and 1.4 steals per game in the regular season. He is the starting point guard. The temporary starting small forward is Jumaine Jones, who has the worst personal ability.

The highlight of the 76ers' starting lineup is Iverson's scoring point, and for the Lakers, this is much better than playing against the Celtics' Big Three, and the defensive plan is quite specific.

…

The game is about to start, and the two sides go to the midfield to jump the ball.

Big Ben was very nervous. He had played in the finals, but never against Li Shengli in the finals, so he didn't want to say a word and stayed prepared. But when the referee just threw the ball to the top, his whole body suddenly flew away. He got up faster than Li Shengli and passed the ball to his teammates smoothly.

This time, it was Aaron McGee who advanced with the ball, not Iverson.

According to the current rules, double-teaming an opponent without the ball is illegal defense, so Aaron McGee of the 76ers is used to bring the ball steadily across the half court to prevent Iverson from being double-teamed in the early stages of the offense. After he is in place... ...The moment you give the ball to Iverson, it will be his one-on-one performance time.

Both Li Shengli and Kobe knew what their opponents were thinking, but they didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

When everyone was just in position, Iverson made a drastic change of direction and knocked down Fisher. He flew up quickly. What's more important is that the entire 76ers team is familiar with this style of play and gave Iverson the first shot. Paving the way for the charge, especially Ben... his muscles exploded in the first round, and he stuck Li Shengli, who was the biggest threat to Iverson, and Teilon Hill also stuck Grant.

Swish!

After getting rid of Fisher, Iverson put the ball into the basket with a familiar layup, and the entire First League Center immediately cheered for the son of Philadelphia, which also gave the game a good start.
