Chapter 71 Shark is very angry, the consequences are terrible!
The Lakers lost their winning streak.
Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief. The players felt less burdened and had more relaxed on their faces.
Of course, this is not the most important thing. What’s important is that Ao Pang is very angry and the consequences are very serious!
After being destroyed by the Trail Blazers for the Lakers' perfect season, the Angry Sharks were quite terrifying in the next game.
For example, in 1994, O'Neal lost the scoring champion, and in 1995, O'Neal won the scoring champion back and led the team to the finals.
In Li Mu's previous life, in the 1998/99 season, this year, he lost the scoring champion, and was also relied on Duncan by David Robinson, climbed onto his head and won the championship first.
In the second year, O'Neal played in the peak state, scoring champion, regular season MVP, and finals MVP, and won all of them.
In 2005, in order to revenge Kobe, O'Neal also performed dominantly.
That year's regular season MVP only lost to Nash, who was of average data.
In addition, Kobe, who doesn't like losing, also got the revenge script.
So, in the next game, the Lakers' opponents are going to be in trouble.
Next, the Grizzlies, Warriors, Spurs, Rockets, Trail Blazers, etc., failed to stop the Lakers' anger and were defeated.
Los Angeles, Greater Western Forum Arena.
May 5, night.
In the final match of the regular season of the 98/99 season, the Lakers faced the Trail Blazers, the only opponent who gave them a loss.
Li Mu sent out an attacking lineup to attack with all his might.
Billups, Kobe, Les, Horry, O'Neal.
As expected, this game will be the last game of the Lakers in this stadium, the regular season.
After playing this season's playoffs, the Lakers will move the main stadium to the Staples Center stadium, which will be the oldest.
As the last game of the regular season of the Great Western Forum Arena, I faced a defeated my opponent.
So, in order to repay the fans, the Trail Blazers must die!
The Lakers only have one word: Kill!
From the very beginning, the Lakers were murderous and attacking desperately.
In the first quarter, the outside line was the first to open up the situation.
Rice hit three consecutive three-pointers and made three-pointers with Horry.
Kobe and Billups also tried to make three-pointers.
Although their accuracy was not enough and the sound of irons still scared the Trail Blazers.
The Lakers, the firepower from the outside was opened, and the Trail Blazers did not dare to tightly shrink the inside. Then, O'Neal got offensive space, stormed the ball in the penalty area and ravaged the basket.
After the first quarter, the score was 34 to 21, and the Lakers scored 13 points.
In the second quarter, the Trail Blazers will be Rashid, O'Neal Jr., Jim Jackson, Kevin Cato and Bonchi Wells rotated.
With the performance of these powerful players, the Trail Blazers have indeed regained a lot of points and played the Lakers with a 27-21 offensive.
However, at the beginning of the third quarter, the Lakers no longer gave the Trail Blazers any chance.
Bang —!
O'Neal received the ball, broke the space, turned around and raised the basket, and with a clang, his whole body hung on the basket.
O'Neal led the way and launched the charge first.
When the Trail Blazers clamped O'Neal, O'Neal passed the ball out of the baseline.
Rice caught the ball and made a three-pointer...
Swish—!
Tonight's three-pointer, Rice felt so hot.
Next, the Lakers' offensive firepower never stopped, and the Trail Blazers' shock wave was 39-19, instantly taking the game away.
In the fourth quarter, it was just a formality, and the Lakers were still expanding the score.
Buzz ~~
As the scoreboard was on the beep, the red light came over, and the score was frozen.
The game ended with a score of 119 to 91. The Lakers beat the Trail Blazers 28 points, winning the final game of the regular season.
O'Neal scored 27 points, 11 rebounds and 8 assists, and magically played a quasi-triple double-double.
Kobe's performance in this game was average, with only 17 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists.
The most amazing performance was Rice, who made 14 of 20 shots, 8 of 10 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, and scored 40 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists.
There is no doubt that he is the absolute protagonist of the Great Western Forum tonight.
However, after the game, media reporters carried long spears and short cannons and rushed around O'Neal.
"Shake, if nothing unexpected happens, you will become the scoring champion of the year. How do you feel?"
"Shake, you are now the first candidate for the regular season MVP candidate, and you can even take the candidate away. What's your mood at this time?"
“…”
O'Neal smiled, answering reporters' questions one by one, and even with a little humor.
“It’s not an accident, but certainly, I will be the scoring champion of the year.
Of course, I am averaging 31.5 points per game now. If Iverson scored 200 points, I think my scoring leader would have unexpectedly flew.
Just like in 1994 and 1998, the last game, I lost what should have belonged to me."
O'Neal spread his hands, "I don't think God will always be against me!"
It's time for me to win everything."
"Of course I feel very happy, but the Lakers' journey is not over yet.
I will continue to work hard just to kill the bastard who wants to stop me from moving forward!”
“…”
...
