Almighty legend life

Chapter 718 It's hard to pay for the former owner Liu Han not to let go and fight to defend the Pistons

"Hey old man, are you welcome?"

"Okay, Shaq, can I keep you from coming to Dallas?"

"Haha, I didn't expect that there would be a day when I would become an opponent with you, buddy, I won't hold back at that time, you have to be careful."

"Shaq, then you have to be careful, because I won't hold back either. I'm going to give the championship ring to Anna as a wedding ring."

"Of course, but if I win, I will give you my ring. You can give Anna the ring you got back then, haha. Alright, see you on the field then."

"Well, see you on the field, brother."

Before the start of the Western Conference Finals, Liu Han received a call from O'Neal.

In fact, Liu Han had already foreseen the match against the Lakers in the Western Conference Finals. Although Liu Han felt a little dissatisfied with the series of changes made by the Lakers this season, it has to be admitted that this Lakers team is still very strong. .

Liu Han is looking forward to the fight with his old club, and basketball fans all over the world are also looking forward to the Western Conference Finals. Some old fans have seen the strength of the Lakers with Liu Han. Now the owner of the Mavericks challenges the Lakers back then. Whether it is Liu Han who beat his old club or the Lakers' four kings who overthrow the Mavericks, this round of the series is definitely worth looking forward to.

In stark contrast to the Western Conference Finals, it is naturally the Eastern Conference Finals. Although the two opponents in the Eastern Conference Finals have great support in their respective cities, they are much smaller in terms of influence in the United States and the world, and because Their respective styles of play are very conservative, so the match between the Pistons and the Pacers will naturally not receive too much attention. After all, what fans like to see are wonderful goals and wonderful games, playing defense and tactics. Fighting muscles, only a small number of fans will like it.

The Lakers in the west are now one of the representative teams in Los Angeles, California, and even North America. They have a wide range of supporters all over the world, while the Mavericks are an emerging force. There are also many supporters around the world. At the same time, because of Liu Han's relationship, the two teams actually have a lot of grievances. When Liu Han returned to the NBA, he did not choose the Lakers, which actually made local fans have opinions on Liu Han.

On May 2004, 5, at 21:[-] p.m. Dallas time on Friday, the first game of the Western Conference Finals officially started at the American Airlines Center Arena in Dallas.

Compared with the Lakers lineup, the Mavericks are basically not comparable in the interior. Although Nowitzki has made great progress after Olajuwon's training for a season, he still cannot compete with the Lakers with O'Neal. In comparison, although O'Neal has gained too much weight compared to that year, it does not affect his dominance in the interior, so the Mavericks don't think too much about how to defend O'Neal in the interior for this round of the series. Opponents score more goals on it.

Compared with the Mavericks' calm challenge, the Lakers actually have no idea. Many people on the Lakers, including O'Neal, are a little afraid of the Mavericks. O'Neal himself knows Liu Han's strength, even if the rest of the Mavericks can't play well. Liu Han alone is not that easy to deal with, and people like Malone and Payton are also worried about the strength of the Mavericks. After all, they don't want to lose their careers at the end of the season. Son? In addition to being a little worried about the strength of the Mavericks, Jackson also had a lot of opinions on his girlfriend Jenny, because Jenny did not try her best to invite Liu Han to join the Lakers at the beginning of the season, and Jenny did not expect Liu Han who had been away from basketball for several years. Han still has such a powerful dominance. Mayfair Jackson feels that Liu Han is probably the only player in the league who can fully realize his triangle offense.

"Charles, do you regret going to the Rockets when you look at Carl now?"

Although he is a famous star of the Rockets, Kenny Smith has no scruples to tease his partner Charles Barkley.

"Well, I regret it, because after I went to Houston, I met a very wretched guy. His name is Kenny Smith. This guy took me to undress very happily when I first went to Houston. Dance bar, but in the end I paid for it myself.”

"Hey man, that's your bet, well, let's not talk about these old stories, now the new show is about to start, let's wait and see the Mavericks vs. Lakers game."

After proper ridicule, the two "funny" commentators began to pay attention to the game, because the game is about to start.

With the already 65-year-old legendary referee Dick Bavita throwing the ball high in the middle circle, this much-anticipated Western Conference finals officially began.

Although Dick Bavetta had the experience of "favoring" the Lakers before, the league still let the old referee enforce the game. In the Western Conference Finals in 02, Dick Bavetta was in a game In the fourth quarter, the Lakers were given 27 free throws. At one time, some media said that the league intends to send the Lakers to the finals. However, it must be pointed out that the Kings used the "shark-cutting tactic" in the fourth quarter of the game. , This has to be taken into consideration. In fact, this also shows the decisiveness of the old referee. After all, not any referee dared to make such a bold penalty in Game [-] of the Western Conference Finals.

Not everyone expected, Dirk Nowitzki failed jump ball, the Lakers first attack.

The Lakers are still the "Four Kings" starting, with a role player German? George.

After Payton dribbled the ball into the frontcourt and encountered Liu Han's defense, he didn't dare to be careless. After all, the guy in front of him had 11 steals in the finals.

Payton handed the ball to Malone, who was raised to a high position. Malone directly hoisted the ball into the hands of O'Neal.

Compared with the previous game, O'Neal was more proactive in this game.

The Lakers immediately retreated to defend after scoring the ball, for fear that the Mavericks would chase and counterattack, but the Mavericks still advanced steadily from the beginning.

After Liu Han brought the ball to the frontcourt, Finley immediately defended him. The Lakers didn't dare to let Payton defend Liu Han. After all, the 36-year-old Payton couldn't keep up with Liu Han's speed.

Liu Han didn't take the ball too much, but also handed the ball to Odom in the high position, and then ran towards the bottom corner by himself.

Nowitzki proposed to cover for Odom, Odom broke through and gave the ball to Josh Howard who was open in the corner, the Lakers double-teamed Liu Han who was running without the ball, and Josh Howard got an open shot Opportunity, but a rookie is a rookie after all. He was a little nervous facing the Western Conference finals. He actually made a three-pointer with an open three-pointer. O'Neal easily got a rebound at the basket.

At the beginning of the game, the Mavericks seemed a little abnormal, and they were somewhat nervous.
