On the court, Derrick Fisher hit a three-pointer to extend the Lakers' lead to 16 points.

When the difference is more than 15 points, the advantage of the leading side will reach a new level, and the laggard will have a higher difficulty chasing the score.

If 10 points behind seems like a good chance of tying, then 15 points behind looks like a little chance of tying.

Jeff Van Gundy had to be anxious, but it was useless to be anxious, the Knicks' lineup on the court was already their strongest lineup, and Jeff Van Gundy couldn't change it, so he could only keep shouting, constantly emphasizing defense and offense.

The Lakers are already in shape.

On the court, the Knicks' offense, Larry Johnson controlled the ball, controlled it for a while, and gave the ball to Patrick Ewing on the inside, Ewing hit hard inside, he couldn't stand up to O'Neal, turned and made a layup.

Robert Horry grabbed the rebound and gave the ball directly to Kobe.

Scott Pippen didn't receive the ball, the Lakers' fast break didn't work, and Bryant turned around to control the rhythm and began to attack the position.

Bryant gave the ball to Rick Fox and began to cut off the ball himself.

When he rushed to the mid-range position, Rick Fox made a direct pass to the ground and gave the ball to Kobe.

Kobe Bryant received the ball with his back, turned around and glanced at the basket, turned his back and added a step-back jumper, and shot directly.

Bang, go in again!

With an 18-point difference, just two points away, the Lakers' lead will reach 20 points.

Unlike 15 points, the 20-point lead will be a higher level, and at the 20-point level, the lagging side basically doesn't want to chase points.

So Jeff Van Gundy was really anxious, and he called a timeout in a hurry.

Qiao Hai is not in a hurry, he knows that Jeff Van Gundy cannot make substitutions, and can only make some tactical adjustments, so Qiao Hai's adjustment is not adjusted.

After the timeout, the Knicks increased their outside shooting.

The Lakers also took advantage of the defensive expansion and played for another two or three minutes, and the point difference quickly expanded to more than 20 points, and the suspense of the game ended.

The Madison Square Garden arena was filled with boos, and David Stern, who was watching the game on the sidelines, was not affected by the boos in the slightest, sitting on the sidelines and communicating with his assistants.

"The Lakers are going to win, get ready to prepare, it's time to present the award soon."

It is still in the interest of the league for the Lakers to win the championship, after all, the Lakers are a superstar team, with Shaquille O'Neal, Kobe Bryant and Scott Pippen in the team, star-studded.

Such a team won the championship, and the league promoted it a little, and it was immediately a wave of popularity.

So, David Stern was happy.

Of course, if the Knicks can win the championship, he will not be unhappy, after all, the Knicks are also in the big city of New York, as long as the team in the big city wins the championship, it is all in line with the interests of the league, those teams in small cities reach the finals or win the championship, David Stern is not happy, such a finals, the ratings are difficult to improve.

This time, the Lakers played the Knicks in the finals, although each game was a crushing victory, but the ratings were not low, because the two teams that entered the finals were one from Los Angeles, the other from New York, the two largest cities on the east and west coasts of the United States, and the Lakers are also one of the giants with the most championships in the NBA.

The game starts with boos and ends with boos.

In the end, the Lakers won 125-102, a 23-point victory.

McBrin was a little helpless, and in the four games of the finals, he won every game, and each game was a big win of more than 20 points.

At the end of the game, McBrin congratulated the Lakers: "Congratulations to the Lakers, congratulations to them for winning the championship, this O'Brien Cup is well-deserved for them, four finals, each of which is a big win of more than 20 points, perhaps this Finals will be the Finals with the largest gap in history, and it will be the most suspenseless Finals in history." ”

Inside the court, the Lakers are already celebrating.

Qiao Hai is the focus of everyone, of course, Shaquille O'Neal is the focus of everyone, four finals, Shaquille O'Neal played well, according to the data contribution and team status, the Finals MVP should be Shaquille O'Neal.

Therefore, O'Neill is the focus of everyone, but at this time, he ran to Qiao Hai and hugged Qiao Hai.

Naturally, as the head coach, and hugging the huge O'Neal, Qiao Hai also became the focus of everyone.

Countless cameras were pointed at Qiao Hai and O'Neal, and O'Neill said in Qiao Hai's ear, "Thank you." ”

Soon, the Lakers all returned to the locker room to rest, and the layout began to be set up in the court.

Knicks fans left the court one after another, and the Lakers fans who were playing with the team away from the court were put into the court by the league staff, and the court was lively again.

In the locker room, the Lakers took a champagne shower first, and Qiao Hai was also beaten, but as the head coach, Qiao Hai urged everyone to take a shower and put on a championship T-shirt.

After the Lakers played, David Stern also played, and the O'Brien Cup was also carried to the center of the court, the stadium was already arranged, and the sidelines were full of Lakers fans, cheering one after another.

Amid cheers, the host announced that the Lakers were the overall champions of the 1998-1999 playoffs! Shaquille O'Neal lifted the O'Brien Cup on behalf of the Lakers, and the fiery atmosphere in the court was at its highest.

Then, Shaquille O'Neal lifted the Finals MVP trophy with cheers.

Shaquille O'Neal began to give his acceptance speech, and he thanked many people, among them, especially thanks to Joe, Scott Pippen and Kobe Bryant, obviously, Shaquille O'Neal also knew that this championship, he was the boss, but in addition to him, the biggest contribution was Joe, followed by Scott Pippen and Kobe.

Qiao Hai also touched the O'Brien Cup, which was the first time he had touched the real O'Brien Cup.

The championship trophy was in Kobe's hands at the beginning, Kobe Bryant saw Qiao Hai touch the trophy, smiled directly, and handed the trophy to Qiao Hai.

Qiao Hai also raised his glass, but soon, O'Neill finished his acceptance speech, and the microphone was handed to Qiao Hai again.

David Stern congratulated Qiao Hai first and shook Qiao Hai's hand.

The host asked Qiao Hai a question: "Coach Qiao Hai, how did you feel after winning the championship?" ”

"I'm in a good mood."

"Is there anything you'd like to say to your players?"

"They're all very good players and this championship is the best compliment for them, but I hope they can keep working hard, Michael Jordan won six championships, so he's the god of basketball, Bill Russell won 11 championships, so he's the Lord of the Rings, and I hope they can continue to work hard and win more championships like Michael Jordan and Bill Russell."

"What about the Lakers? What do you have to say? ”

For the Lakers, Qiao Hai has no good face, but in the live broadcast in the United States, all the cameras are on Qiao Hai, and Qiao Hai still smiled: "Time will tell how big my role is in this championship trophy." ”

The answer was not asked, but there was an exclamation in the venue.

Jerry West's face is not too good, and there are even some cheers in the corner of the court, after this game, Qiao Hai is no longer a Laker person, but there are still Qiao Hai's supporters on the sidelines, which proves how big Qiao Hai's role is in the Lakers.
