Chapter 496

"Yes, yes."

Eli Ott echoed, took over the conversation, and continued: "Last summer, they introduced "The Glove" Gary Payton and "The Mailman" Karl Malone.

Together with the "OK Combination," they formed the "Luxury Four Giants."

Such a combination, from the moment it existed, was a championship lineup; as long as there were no accidents, they almost locked in the championship in advance!

However.

There was an accident after all.

The conflict between the "OK Combination" intensified, and the two core players of the team had different philosophies on basketball, causing them to often have conflicts on the court.

The team couldn't play the strongest offense.

This would be absolutely fatal in the playoffs.

I don't know if the conflict between the Lakers' "OK Combination" can be resolved before the playoffs arrive.

This is a big variable for the Lakers' championship this year.

And the Bulls, who came out halfway, are first in the East and powerful, and they have now grown into one of the championship favorite teams.

However.

Can they, with many rookies, withstand the exponentially increased defensive intensity of the playoffs, as well as the one-on-one series mode.

This is a variable.

Besides... Su Yan is too strong and keeps getting provoked, and he has also been suspended for many games this season; if he gets provoked in the playoffs too.

And gets suspended.

Then the consequences are unimaginable, and this is one of the variables on the Bulls' road to the championship."

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Doug Collins nodded and said: "From the beginning of the season to now, the championship favorites Timberwolves, Pistons, Bulls, and Lakers.

There are many variables on the road to the championship now.

This instantly gives traditional strong teams like the Nets, Pacers, Spurs, and Kings more opportunities to win the championship!

In this way, the battle for the championship trophy has suddenly become confusing!!!"

"Right."

"Although for teams like the Timberwolves and Pistons, more championship variables is a very terrible thing.

However.

For us, the battle for the championship has become more intense, and we fans and commentators have more expectations!"

"Yes, yes."

"And..."

The four hosts discussed this just before the playoffs, which immediately warmed up the playoffs, making fans look forward to the arrival of the playoffs.

On the Bulls side.

Su Yan, Hinrich, and Pippen were suspended for 3 games, and Yao and Antonio were suspended for 1 game.

As a result, they lost all 3 games.

This also stopped the Bulls' 21-game winning streak, but even so, it surpassed the Bucks and created the second-longest winning streak in history.

Next, they got back on track.

The "Dragon Kingdom Twin Stars" continued to lead the team to win, continued to stabilize the first position in the East, and prepared for the playoffs.

Time flew by.

The regular season reached its end.

The Bulls vs. Lakers duel, which countless fans had been thinking about and looking forward to for almost the entire season, was finally coming.

April 20th.

The Bulls' last duel with the Lakers would be played tomorrow night.

Major basketball websites were discussing and looking forward to this duel today.

"It's coming, it's coming, Bulls vs. Lakers, this game will definitely be super-model, a battle like a Finals preview, destined to be wonderful and extremely good to watch!"

"That's a must."

"Su Yan is the youngest and the first 60-point man this season, while Kobe is the second 60-point man of the season.

"Prediction Master" Su Yan vs. "Little Flying Knight" Kobe.

This duel is good to watch."

"And... once Su Yan defeats Kobe, one of the "Four Great Shooting Guards," he will crush the "Four Great Shooting Guards" and be on par with them.

No.

At that time, Su Yan will "surpass the Four Great Shooting Guards" and become the "Active First Shooting Guard"!!!"

"Hiss... clearly an undrafted player, but after playing for a season in the league, he has the hope of becoming the "Active First Shooting Guard."

This is such a crazy thing.

But... I'm really looking forward to it!!!"
