Chapter 684: Two Crowns in Four Years

On the eve of the Finals, Richard received a call from Kobe.

Kobe Bryant is also a regular in the Finals, but this is the first time he has led the team to the Finals, and he has been with O'Neal in the previous Finals.

Kobe's tone on the phone was quite excited, and this time he could finally let go with Richard.

In the regular season, the Lakers met the Buccaneers twice, and Richard sent a fringe lineup to make Kobe vomit blood.

And now that it's the finals, if Richard continues to send a marginal lineup, I'm afraid Kobe Bryant will be crazy and will be tantamount to picking up a championship for nothing......

At the start of the first game of the finals, O'Neal suffered a knee injury in the middle of the game and went down, and Oden came on in O'Neal's place.

Although the Pirates still won this game, it was quite thrilling, and in the end they only won by a mere four points.

Lakers fans are going crazy with joy, O'Neal is injured? This is great news!

Although Oden's strength is not big compared to O'Neal, it is basically a level, but it is impossible for Oden to stay on the court and play the full 48 minutes......

Maybe it's time for the Lakers to blow the horn of a counterattack.

What can make Lakers fans roll their eyes is that O'Neal returned directly from injury in G2 of the finals.

A veteran like O'Neal, once injured, the recovery period is actually much longer than that of young players, and young players may only need three or five days to heal from micro injuries, and these veterans have to recuperate for a month!

But now O'Neal has only recovered for two days and returned, which is not the kind of reluctant effort, judging from the state on the field, O'Neill is really healed, and his state has not been affected in the slightest.

Needless to say, Richard must have used the junior injury scroll against O'Neal.

This is also Richard's helpless move, he doesn't want any changes in the finals, even if Oden can take O'Neal's position, Richard doesn't want anything to happen, so he simply uses the junior injury scroll for O'Neal.

Naturally, the G2 Buccaneers won again.

By the time of G3 of the finals, hope rose in the hearts of the Lakers again, and Oden was injured......

The elder Mi O'Neal was even more unlikely to play the full 48 minutes on his shoulder, and the Lakers' chance came.

In this game, the Lakers occupied a large home-court advantage, coupled with the explosion of players, Odom made 5 of 7 three-pointers, scored 27 points in the game, and Kobe Bryant scored 37 points in the game, and won a win in the hands of the Pirates.

Lakers fans are naturally elated, and now that Oden is injured, although the Lakers are one win behind, but after all, the Pirates win at home, as long as the Lakers keep the next home court, then they will return to the same running line with the Pirates.

As a result, what made them continue to roll their eyes was that Oden returned from injury in G4.

Lakers fans are going crazy, why are the Pirate players so durable? The injury can heal in the blink of an eye?!

Every time there is hope, the injured Pirate player immediately returns from injury, which always makes people happy in vain.

Although it is a bit unkind to hope that the opponent's player will be injured, there are still many fans who hope that the opponent's main player will be injured so that their home team can improve their chances of winning the championship.

Whether it's Lakers fans or Pirate fans, they all have similar thoughts.

Pirate fans want Kobe Bryant to get injured, and Lakers fans want all of the Pirates main players to get injured......

……

Oden returned from injury in G4 and broke out, playing 30 minutes, cutting down 23 points, 16 rebounds and 3 blocks, and did not fall behind in the head-to-head matchup with Big Ben.

At present, Big Ben is also gradually starting to decline, no way, age is there, he is purely a blue-collar center who eats by his body, age and injury can be said to be his biggest enemy, although Big Ben has not suffered any big injuries in his current career, but the problem of age cannot be ignored.

The current big book is 34 years old......

After G4 won, the Pirates led the Lakers by a score of 3-1.

Richard was also relieved, Oden and O'Neill were injured one after another, which really startled him.

If he didn't have enough injury scrolls in stock, then if Paul was injured next, Richard would really have to stare dryly.

Thankfully, Paul did not drop the chain this time, averaging 20 points, 15 assists, 4 rebounds and 2 steals per game in these four games, and if nothing else, this year's Finals MVP candidate will be Paul.

Of course, as long as Paul doesn't continue to drop the chain in the next games......

Finals G5, the home of the Pirates, if the Pirates win this game, they will hold a championship award ceremony on their home court.

Before the game started, the big screen at the scene also played the list of the number of NBA current head coaches winning the championship.

The first place is naturally Lakers head coach Zen Master Jackson, while the second place is Richard of the Pirates.

It can be said that this round of the finals is not only about the ownership of a championship trophy, but also about whether Richard can catch up with Zen master Jackson and become the head coach with the largest number of championships in the current league head coach group!

Zen Master Jackson currently has seven championship rings on hand, while Richard only has six on hand, and if the Pirates win this time, Richard will match Zen Master!

Soon, both sides began to appear, and the starters were all gearing up!

Richard is still quite relaxed, if nothing else, they can completely kill the Lakers in this game and win the championship.

The Lakers' combat power is not weak, but in fact, this Lakers team is not their strongest state, otherwise, under normal circumstances, this season will not lose to Green Kai in the Finals.

has to wait until Artest joins to make this Lakers a real king.

However, at the moment, because Big Ben occupies the team's salary, it is obviously difficult for the Lakers to get Artest, and if they really want to get Artest, the only thing they can do is to trade Big Ben.

……

With three minutes left in the first half, Bryant looked like he had injured his wrist and was taken back to the locker room by the team doctor.

This made the Pirate fans more confident, and the championship was secure......

However, in the second half of the game, Kobe Bryant returned to the court again, looking at the wrist wearing a thick layer of wrist guards, obviously playing with an injury.

This is not to say how great Kobe Bryant is, if he is 80% of the leading stars, they will definitely choose to lead the team to play, they have been forced to the edge of the cliff, as long as they are not dead, as long as they can still play, then they will definitely play.

The vast majority of stars will make choices like Kobe, and a few stars are special, and they will not even be injured......

"I swear I'll lead the team to the playoffs!"

"I hurt my groin......"

"I'm going to start playoff mode!"

"What? Next opponents are the Raptors and Bucks? Well, my groin hurts again......"

The groin injury of the first person in history belongs to the 5G intelligent injury, and the weak chicken team immediately recovers from injury, and the groin injury immediately encounters Haoqiang, and the magical groin ......

Huawei's 5G has not been used yet, and this is the first person in history to use 5G.

……

"Doot toot!" The referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, Kobe Bryant's eyes were red, he lost, they lost the game.

Although they won a win against the Buccaneers, it was clearly not the result that Kobe Bryant was hoping for.

What he's looking forward to is a seven-game battle with Richard, so that even if he loses this round of the finals, he has no regrets.

Now they have only held out five games before they are defeated......

The entire Pirate arena is boiling, the second championship trophy in team history is in hand, the team has been established for four years, won two championships, and throughout the history of the NBA, there is absolutely no such thing!

Although the Bucks, like the Pirates, also won the championship three years after the establishment of the team, they have only one championship in their team history, and there is no comparison with the Pirates at all.

The Bucks belong to the typical high-to-low-go team, while the Buccaneers are clearly not, they are the real kings.
