Chapter 619

Although.

In the first few games, Kobe's efficiency dropped sharply because he forced shots and wouldn't give the ball to O'Neal.

But the facts were just that.

Throughout the Western Conference Finals series, O'Neal played much better than Kobe.

This made the fans, in their discussions and calls for the Finals MVP.

Always rank O'Neal higher than Kobe.

Kobe also realized this problem after reading the data; if he kept playing like this.

Even if they won the Finals, he wouldn't get the FMVP, and he would still be the Lakers' second-in-command in the eyes of outsiders.

Even if it was a second-in-command at Pippen's level.

Kobe didn't want to be it, and didn't want to be it anymore.

"No! I think no matter what, no matter what method I use, I must play better than that guy O'Neal; if I can't.

I'd rather lose the series than let him win the FMVP.

I absolutely cannot continue to live under O'Neal's shadow; I want to establish my authority and become the team leader!!!"

A cold light flashed in Kobe's eyes.

Three days later.

The Finals. Bulls vs. Lakers finally arrived.

Expert predictions before the game.

More than 90% of experts believed that the Lakers would sweep the Bulls 4-0 and win the championship.

Less than 2% of experts believed that the Bulls would reverse the Lakers to win the championship through a Game 7.

"Boom!"

Although without Su Yan, it was as difficult as ascending to heaven for the Bulls to beat the Lakers.

But the Finals were destined to arrive, and the series had just begun.

The home Bulls fans still used the most enthusiastic cheers to shout for the players, hoping they could perform well and hold on until Su Yan returned.

A while later.

The game arrived!

"Jump ball!"

The jump ball between Yao and O'Neal.

Who won?

"Slap!"

O'Neal took the lead and tipped the basketball away; they didn't even win the jump ball, and the Bulls felt something bad from the very beginning.

However.

Just when everyone thought the Lakers would crush the Bulls and easily win the game. **CHAPTER 621**
