“Buzz~~”

A beep sounded on the scorer and the game time ended.

The Jazz players breathed a sigh of relief, and left the Grand Western Forum Arena in shame like a loss of soul.

The Lakers finally let out a vent of anger on the Jazz.

The score was 81 to 119, and the Lakers won 38 points against the Jazz, giving the Jazz a crushing defeat without being a "gentleman".

Billups scored 11 points, 7 assists and 2 rebounds, but the data was not dazzling, but the fans and audiences were very clear. Knowing that Fisher became Harper, they would not be able to play the Lakers' tactical effect tonight, they all gave him a wave of applause that welcomed him here.

O'Neal scored 35 points, 11 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocks, performing normally.

Compared to the stunning performance of 46 points and 15 rebounds in the last game, this game against the Jazz is really a 'lack'.

Kobe had 27 points, 10 assists, 8 rebounds, 2 steals and 1 block, which was a bit of a sewer smell, otherwise, it would have been a stable triple-double performance.

However, Kobe's missed ball almost ran away and vomited Horacek. The launch of the All-Agent Department shocked everyone's attention.

The Utah two evil spirits teamed up to score 47 points, but they still couldn't stop the end of the defeat.

After the game, the reporters carried long guns and short cannons around Kobe to ask.

Scattered artillery fire also fired at Old Li. For the two big wins, they wanted to know how Li Mu was feeling at this time. "In the first year of coaching, in the first two games, facing two teams with championship strength, the Lakers won by big scores. Coach Li Mu, what do you think?"

"I don't think this is an accident!" Li Mu's face was calm and he felt very calm.

Isn't this very appropriate?

Speaking of which, the Rockets won two consecutive championships in the past few years, and the Jazz have also won two "runner-up" in the past two years. Rounding, all of them are a little bit short of 100 million, so they have established a dynasty-ruled team.

To be fair, they have reached the point of invincible loneliness, and there is really no way out except death.

The Lakers in 2004, the Lakers in 2014, and the Lakers in 2021 are all like this.

To be honest, I have won the championship for many years and my core lineup is old. If I change my combat power in the future, my potential will be exhausted. The only way is to use my past reputation to fool one or two legendary superstars who have not yet had their careers to invest, form the so-called "Big Three" and "Big Four" and continue to fight for another move.

This kind of "grouping" has failed without exception, most of which have failed, except for God.

Their fame sounds very famous and their real strength cannot be calculated based on their peak.

Teams like the Jazz should actually enter the reconstruction period, and the core players are almost unable to fight and are about to retire.

The reason why I am unwilling to quit.

Don't ask, it's money.

In the past, Utah’s double evil spirits were named a superstar but had an annual salary of three or four million. After the age of 36, they saw the hope of getting a annual salary of tens of millions. Who wouldn’t want to play for a few more years? No one would consider the issue of retirement!

Finally, they have played pick-and-roll tactics for almost 15 years and have maintained the lower limit of their performance.

In addition, facing weak teams, the Jazz can use experience to defeat their opponents, face strong teams, drag them to their home court, and use the right place to defeat their opponents. The regular season record looks really strong.

However, facing the Lakers who have been improving, this game will end with a crushing defeat, which is nothing more than revealing the essence of the pseudo-strong team.

With the Lakers' bench crush, it is no surprise that the Jazz will lose this score.

At this time, Li Mu's mentality was probably the same as McGrady in 2002.

The series leads 3-1, and is about to achieve Black Seven, I can't help but say: I don't consider the Pistons, but the next opponent is already considered.

That's right, Li Mu has already considered his next opponent, away to the Spurs.

The Spurs are very strong, with double towers in the interior, and have always been rookies Tim Duncan and Sea General David Robinson.

The strength of the inside line can be said to be one of the best in the league.

Even if it is counting one, no one will refute it.

In addition to the strong inside, the small forward position is also the powerful player Sean Elliott.

Just looking at the name, I feel like a supporting actor, without much strength, just a character player who can't remember.

Judging from the information, Li Mu knew that this person's strength was not weak. He was a two-time All-Star player. In the 1989 draft, he could average 20+ per game at his peak. His characteristics were that he was unpredictable and very sharp.

In the future, he will also have the nickname of "Superman". He is a "Kindragon Fighter". In a year, he will undergo kidney transplant surgery and will still be able to return to play in NBA games.

"He's back!"

When he made a comeback, the fans and spectators cheered, and even gave him the title of "Superman".

It was precisely because of kidney disease that his breakthrough state had declined a lot.

However, he did not sink into it. Instead, he was like Hill. When his knees were broken and his breakthrough was not sharp, he immediately developed a precise "central shot".

This person has mastered his three-point shooting ability and his shooting percentage is as high as 40%. In this era of "the kingly way of central shooting", it is very valuable.

What made Li Mu feel even more difficult was that his three-pointer was invisibly very suitable for the Spurs' tactical system.

Duncan's unsolved singles were attracted to double-teams and passed the ball out of the periphery. The powerful low-post singles ability of the Sea General also requires the outside line to open up the offensive space.

Sean Elliott, plus Duncan and the General of the Sea, to put it bluntly, the Spurs are not as simple as the outside world calls the double tower combination, but the Big Three combination.

Just like in Li Mu's previous life, the Lakers created a dynasty, everyone knew the "OK combination", but no one mentioned Glenn Rice.

He is also an All-Star player.

The Spurs and Rockets have very similar rosters, both of which are strong in the inside and the outside, and have a lot of "flaws".

The only difference is that the Rockets bet on the growth of a group of rookies, while the Spurs believe in the outside players who have worked hard in the league.

The Spurs' outside line does not have real star players, but they are a group of screws with one skill set.

In Li Mu's view, the Spurs are an enhanced version of the Rockets.

In Li Mu's previous life, the Spurs eliminated the Lakers in the Western Conference semi-finals and easily won the championship along the way, and they were too strong.

Therefore, what Li Mu pays most attention to is the Spurs. He has no idea about playing against the Spurs, but he just plays with a learning attitude.

...

Three days later, San Antonio.

February 10, night.

Alamo Sport Stadium.

In the third game of the regular season in the 98-99 season, the Lakers challenged the Spurs away.

After a simple appearance and warm-up exercise, the starting lineups of both sides will appear below.

The Lakers started five, point guard Billups, point guard Kobe, small forward Bowen, power forward Ben Wallace, center O'Neal.

The Spurs started with the five Tigers, point guard Avery Johnson, and the point guards were Mario Ellie, small forward Sean Elliott, power forward Duncan, and center David Robinson.

“Beep~~”

As the referee's whistle rang out, the basketball flew into the sky.

O'Neal and David Robinson looked up at the basketball and jumped almost at the same time.

Bang!!

The more experienced David Robinson defeated O'Neal and gained the ball to attack for the Spurs.

"In the first leg, the Spurs attack, see how they did it!!"
Chapter completed!
