Healthy basketball, starting from eating the old Lakers F4

Chapter 230 O’Neal’s wine, the finals begin

Because they are no longer teammates, Duen has not had much contact with Kobe in the past two years.

Except for matters on the court and personal life, Kobe basically does not take the initiative to contact other people.

Now that he suddenly called Du En, he would naturally go to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing.

When Duan thought that Kobe had missed another round of the playoffs this year, he probably guessed what Kobe was thinking.

It's nothing more than trying to use off-court incidents to force the Lakers management into trouble.

To be honest, the Lakers' current configuration is not too bad.

It is definitely a little short of competing for the championship, but if Kobe can manage the locker room well and correct his mentality, it is not impossible to lead the team to the Western Conference Finals.

However, seeing that O'Neal won the championship in his first year after leaving the Lakers, Duan is also very likely to win this year.

This situation happened one after another, and it was understandable that Kobe couldn't sit still.

Kobe was willing to take the blame before because Kobe was confident that he would win the championship before O'Neal and Duane and win more championships.

Who would have thought that the plan could not keep up with the changes? Duen's progress far exceeded Kobe's expectations.

They were evenly matched last year, but this year they seem to have suddenly gone up half a level.

Who would have expected this?

"If I don't strengthen, I will be far behind Shaq and Duan!" Kobe has thoughts similar to this, which is normal.

Not to mention, the Lakers actually have a lot of assets that can be traded now.

If they can trade players suitable for Kobe, the Lakers may not be without the possibility of winning the championship in the next three years.

Of course, whether Kobe can win the championship in the future, we have to ask Duan first!After all, the Bulls' championship window is still several years away!
"Shaq, Kobe also wants to watch the game. Do you want to put you and Kobe in a box?"

After Duan settled the conversation with Kobe, he quickly tipped off O'Neal.

After O'Neill got the news, it didn't surprise Du En and he quickly agreed with a smile.

Then he stuffed the fifth championship ring and a replica of the fifth championship trophy into his suitcase overnight and prepared to take them to Chicago.

Time flies by quickly, and June 6th arrives in a blink of an eye.

Chicago United Center, NBA 05-06 season finals G1 is about to start here.

In a luxurious box in the arena, a fat man suddenly broke in with a wine box.

"Hey, Kobe, why are you here?" O'Neal asked knowingly.

"That guy Du En actually arranged for you to be with me?
Alas, forget it!Shaq is not a petty person. Who told you that you were once Shaq's brother?
Even though you betrayed Shaq, Shaq decided to forgive you.

It just so happened that I brought a bottle of wine with me to celebrate with Du En.

Now, it’s easier for you!Would you like to have a drink to clear up the hangover? "

Kobe was not as eloquent as O'Neal, but when O'Neal broke into the box, Kobe didn't know what to say.

Now that O'Neal has said that he wants to reconcile, Kobe naturally has no reason to refuse.

However, Kobe scolded Duan in his mind, why did he specifically arrange for him to be with this fat guy O'Neal.

"If the media noticed that Shaq and I were at the United Center, watching games in the same box, drinking together, and talking happily, then some of the rumors would be self-defeating, right?"

After thinking of this, Kobe had no reason to reject O'Neal.

However, just as Kobe sat down to have a drink with O'Neal.

O'Neal opened the wine box by himself, and then saw that what was in the wine box was not a famous wine collected by O'Neal at all, but a replica of the championship trophy. “Farke, where is my wine?

Why is my championship trophy here?
Damn it, it wasn’t my wife who secretly drank my wine, right?
It's too much. Even if I drink wine secretly, I can't put my championship trophy here, right?

This is the fifth championship trophy of my career!
If they were lost, wouldn't there be only four left?

By the way, Kobe, you probably didn’t lose your trophy, right?How many are left, four?
Shaq's trophies haven't been lost either. There are five now, which is one more than you. "

O'Neal pretended to be dumbfounded and was full of yin and yang.

Kobe's face turned pale when he saw this. How could he not know that this was being planned by Du En and O'Neal.

Kobe has four championship trophies and almost one hand full of championship rings.

But when meeting O'Neal, even if he wins the game, he is still a step lower, not to mention that O'Neal now has one more championship than him.

Now being ridiculed by O'Neal in front of his face, Kobe felt even more embarrassed and slammed the door in a hurry.

O'Neal laughed loudly and put the trophy into the wine box, and also put away the championship ring in his arms.

"Brother, Shaq has prepared a celebratory drink for you! It depends on whether you have the ability to drink it! Come on, Shaq hopes you can win the championship!"

After teasing Kobe, O'Neal took advantage of the fact that before the game started, he went to Duan to catch up with old times.

Dunn didn't know what happened between Kobe and O'Neal not long ago, and thought O'Neal really brought a bottle of celebration wine.

"Put down the wine and I'll be right back."

In the finals against the Mavericks, Duan is still very confident.

The Mavericks are obviously not as strong as the Bulls on the outside. Luol Deng can deal with Josh Howard, and Baron Davis can't guard Jason Terry, but Dunn is very familiar with Terry, after all, he is the first template.

There is only one Adrian Griffin left, as well as Jerry Stackhouse and Marquis Daniels on the bench, which are not difficult to solve.

They also focus on offense, but the Bulls' offensive firepower is greater than that of the Mavericks.

Besides, defense wins championships. The Bulls' defensive efficiency is sixth in the league this season. This is because there are a lot of three-quarter games and the substitutes don't pay so much attention to defense.

The Mavericks' defensive efficiency ranks seventh, not as good as the Bulls.

Regardless of regular season data or regular season head-to-head results, the Bulls have a very good chance of winning against the Mavericks.

However, as soon as the game started, someone on the Mavericks side exploded.

Terry made 2 of 2 three-pointers as soon as he came up, beating Baron Davis to the point of numbness.

The Bulls had to send Luol Deng to guard Terry, but Terry was small, agile, and explosive. Luol Deng could interfere with Terry's shooting, but could not prevent Terry's breakthrough.

Fortunately, Duen assisted in the defensive position, which still put some restrictions on Terry.

However, after Terry made two three-pointers at the beginning, he was not in a hurry to attack. Instead, he made more breakthrough points to create offensive opportunities for Josh Howard and Nowitzki.

Duan also helped defend Terry, allowing Josh Howard to get some open shots from outside the three-point line.

The game had only started for more than 4 minutes, and the score difference had already reached 14 to 8, which was as much as 6 points.

As the Bulls took the initiative to call a timeout, Duen quickly took the opportunity to pretend to be angry and threw the towel, correcting the team's overly relaxed and arrogant attitude.

"The finals have just started? Are you sure to win now? Who gave you the confidence? Who gave you the courage?

We can despise the enemy strategically, but we must pay attention to it tactically!
The Dallas Mavericks are the Western Conference champions, and they are the best team in the Western Conference!

If you don't want to play, just stay down there. I just want four teammates who can defend seriously! "
