Legendary Basketball Tycoon

The East side attracted the attention of most people because of Reggie Miller, a fierce man who went against the sky.

And the west side also attracts attention.

I don't have a master here, I have my own place. It is said that the Zen master and the general manager of the bulls, Jerry Krause, broke up, just drinking coffee and reading books at home, and now there are beautiful women by his side, that small day Not to mention how comfortable it was.

After landing in Angel City, Phil Jackson immediately made the Lakers out of the haze of the 1990s and stood up again.

The arrival of Phil Jackson has a huge impact on the Lakers, especially the OM combination. Both O'Neal and McGrady were named to the All-Defensive Team for the first time in their careers that season (McGrady also became the youngest player ever to be named to the All-Defensive Team). O'Neal leads the team in points, rebounds and blocks (and ranks first, second and third in the league, respectively), while the Lakers lead the way in assists and steals. The OM combination has become the hottest inside and outside line combination in the league.

In terms of offense, Phil Jackson moved the triangle offense from Chicago to here, making a slight adjustment, which immediately escalated the Lakers' combat effectiveness. This season, the Lakers averaged 118.2 points per game and only allowed 93.8 points per game, ranking sixth in the league. 67 wins and 15 losses, also ranked second in franchise history, and this was obtained after McGrady missed the first six weeks of the season due to injury. O'Neal also averaged 29.7 points, 13.6 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 3 blocks per game, winning the only regular season MVP of his career.

In addition, through a series of transactions, the Lakers also formed a considerable supporting role and backup lineup. "Iron Man" A.C. Green and Glen Rice occupied the 4th and 3rd positions, and Ron Harper and Derek Fisher took turns at the 1st position. In addition, the gathering of three generations, including Rick Fox, John Sally and Brian Shaw, has also greatly enriched the Lakers' bench.

If the Lakers want to win the championship, they must pass the defending champion Spurs first. Unexpectedly, Tim Duncan was seriously injured at the end of the regular season and regretted missing the playoffs. The Spurs were 1-3 in the first round. Jason Kidd (microblogging) and Kevin Johnson three point guard Phoenix Suns eliminated. However, when the Lakers faced the Sacramento Kings in the first round, coached by Rick Adelman and featuring Chris Webber, Divac, Jason Williams and Peja Stojakovic, The Lakers also nearly capsized and eventually advanced 3-2. In the Western Conference semifinals, the Lakers easily eliminated the Suns 4-1, and their opponent in the Western Conference finals was the Seattle SuperSonics.

The current Sonics boss, Paul Allen, is a complete spendthrift. In order to build another dynasty in Seattle, Paul Allen swayed the money and formed the most luxurious striker group in NBA history created by Bruce himself. Paul Allen's idea is very naive: in order to contain O'Neal, it must have a large number of strikers. Even if the "Shark Tactic" is to be implemented, I don't worry about no one.

Check out these familiar names: Rasheed Wallace, Ben Wallace, Avidas Sabonis, Kurt Thomas, Rashad Lewis, Austin Crohill, Det Rafe Schramf and James Posey, many star strikers get together. In addition, the linebacker defenders Doug Christie and Raja Bell are not fuel-efficient lights.

In the face of such an opponent, the Lakers also had to play 12 points. Fighting hard at Staples Center and Key Center, the SuperSonics and Lakers were tied 3-3 after six games. You can imagine how intense this is.

To be honest, when it comes to the training of the team, Phil Jackson and Larry Brown are not too different. Of course, I am not talking about coaching ability. In terms of record and honor, Larry Brown is too much worse than Phil Jackson. many.

But in fact, because Phil Jackson is the Lakers who only accepted this year, and the Lakers general manager Jerry West specially configures players suitable for triangle tactics for him, he can match with Larry Brown, who has been coaching for several years. Tie.

At the coaching level, the same is true at the player level.

Although Seattle's lineup looks very strong, it feels a bit anticlimactic. The combination of double Wallace doesn't have to worry about defense, but it's definitely impossible to count on offense, so we can only rely on scorers like Iverson on the outside to show off their power. On the other hand, the Lakers can be both inside and out. Neither O'Neal on the inside nor McGrady on the outside are vegetarians, so everyone has a chance to get out of the Western Conference Finals.

So, there was this ebb and flow of the tiebreaker: the Lakers came up with the following horse power, took a 7-point lead in the first quarter and firmly controlled the situation, and even hit 29:19 in the third quarter, and at the beginning of the fourth quarter. Also holds a 10-point lead. At a critical juncture, the hero debuted. As soon as Iverson came out, the situation turned sharply. The Supersonics launched a major comeback. In the final quarter, they completed a monstrous reversal with a strong 25:13. Iverson scored 35 points, 6 rebounds, and 7 times. Assists and 4 steals. At the last moment, he faced O'Neal's block and made a layup with an exquisite butterfly step, which brought a complete ending to this fierce battle.

In the finals against the Indiana Pacers, Iverson also played a role in stabilizing the sea. The Pacers are still dominated by Reggie Miller. With both teams winning 2 games each, Iverson never gave Reggie Miller a chance in the next few games. Winning a single-core championship is obviously very difficult. In the end, in the sixth game, the Lakers won 106-98 and won the championship since the 1999 season with a total score of 4-2, and it was also the fourth championship in team history.

The finals MVP was finally awarded to Iverson. His data in this year's finals is terrifying: averaged 38.6 points, 4.7 rebounds, 8.3 assists, 4.7 steals, and scored 40+ points in 3 of 6 games. The field even scored 48 points, 8 rebounds, 10 assists and 3 steals with superhuman data. After winning the championship, Iverson also embraced each teammate affectionately. This scene can't help but sigh. In the previous life, Iverson never tasted the taste of a championship in his life, and this life finally got his wish.

Of course, the biggest contributor to the SuperSonics winning the championship is Bruce. Without Bruce being "strategic" behind the scenes, the SuperSonics would not even talk about building a dynasty, even trying to win a championship is enough. The pioneers under Paul Allen in the previous life were completely Spending a lot of money, but unfortunately it didn't work in the right place, otherwise Paul Allen would not have left with regret.

Bruce brought not only the championship to the SuperSonics, but also the background. With the blessing of a powerful scoring champion like Iverson, there will be no shortage of championships in the West at least in the future.
