On December 8, in a match against the Minnesota Timberwolves, Kevin Garnett missed the war due to an injury he sustained in the previous game.
Against a traditionally weak side, the Los Angeles Lakers naturally went straight for a big win at home. Without the iron-blooded black baby fight, Michael Udin is also a bit unhappy with his performance because he wants to challenge the strong players in the NBA and make his own name.
On December 10, December 11, and December 13, the Los Angeles Lakers' three consecutive games delivered a high-pressure schedule of four days and three stops.
Fortunately, the Sacramento Kings, Indiana Pacers, and Portland Trail Blazers are not the top teams. In these three games, the Los Angeles Lakers fought fiercely. Los Angeles Lakers wave three wins in a row.
Winning streaks like that have given the Los Angeles Lakers immense confidence. Everyone was convinced that this team should be a team that could fight a tough battle. This is a very, very important factor in the playoffs!
In these four days of three games, Michael Udin is also well aware of the atrocities of the NBA. Hectic schedules and frequent injuries over time destroy the bodies and minds of athletes. To win the championship, you have to sweat mediocre. one cannot imagine Overcoming these difficulties one after another.
Four days later after a tight schedule, the Los Angeles Lakers will head out to play against special opponents, the Chicago Bulls, the kings of the era. . With a team that has the gods of basketball playing for them, This Team is a topic that every NBA player in this era cannot avoid.
Last season's regular, the Chicago Bulls played the best regular season in history, with an insane record of 72 wins and 10 losses. At least back then, most people thought they were nobody.
Unbeaten from the playoffs also directly won the O'Brien Cup, won the championship!
The momentum of the Chicago Bulls this season has not diminished, many media believe that the 1996-1997 Chicago Bulls regular season can still win 70+ games.
At least before playing against the Los Angeles Lakers, the Chicago Bulls drew with the Houston Rockets for first place in the league with a record of 20 wins and 3 losses!
After Shaquille O'Neal traveled west to Los Angeles, he once announced to the world that he would bring some championships to the city and lead the traditional giants of the Lakers back to the top.
Such bold words and high ambitions will naturally be written by the media, and a direct dialogue with the Chicago Bulls can directly verify whether the Sharks really have such power or not.
Before the start of the game, the game reaches a very frightening heat. There are a lot of people who want to see Michael Jordan become a true basketball god, and how many people who want to see this king of the league pulled off the altar.
Before the Los Angeles Lakers started, the media started frantically wondering about the game. As the team boss, Shaquille O'Neal's attitude is certainly the thing that the media pays the most attention to.
Following the training session on December 14, Big Shark accepted an interview with TNT.
"Shaq, the Lakers have won five wins in a row. It's an incredible record.
You will soon be facing the Chicago Bulls. What do you think about this upcoming game? "
This reporter's question makes sense, because this game doesn't need controversial topics to attract attention.
"I said when I signed with the Lakers I wanted to get back to the glory of this long standing giant, and I wanted to bring a lot of championships to this team!
Michael Jordan and the Bulls are the greatest team of this era. I think my team will be their strongest challenger. All Lakers will treat the Chicago Bulls as imaginary enemies in the Finals. We will do our best in this game! "
Shaquille O'Neal repeats the original rhetoric to the camera. Every player in this era dreamed that he could stomp Jordan under his feet.
In the Chicago Bulls training hall, the interview with TNT was postponed for more than ten minutes. When interviewing Michael Jordan, the reporter conveyed the words of the great shark in its entirety.
"Michael, what do you think of Shaq?", the Reporter asked Michael Jordan.
"You know, I have a great relationship with Shaq. I had a lot of fun with this trick in the All-Stars, but Shaq has a long way to go if he wants to compete for the championship.
Running West is a good option, so Shaq will have a higher chance of getting into the final, but if you want to appear in the finals, the Lakers can't always lose to the Jazz by two or thirty points.
But this is not something I should worry about. Shaq is a player with extensive Final experience. I'm sure he can be the boss of the Lakers.
I was busy playing baseball that year Did Shaq play in the final four? "
Michael Jordan really punishes the heart, mouth open like this, Michael Jordan was never afraid of anyone.
"Good answer, Michael!
There was a young man named Kobe Bryant on the Lakers team. Many media believe that he is the most similar player to you in all aspects, and some fans even consider Kobe to be your true successor.
What do you think about this young man? "
Hearing this question, Michael Jordan frowned slightly.
"If my kids get into the NBA, they'll be the players that look the most like me.
Last year I was the MVP of the regular season and the FMVP of the finals Why are you so eager to replace me?
My successor is not the one playing like me, but the strongest.
Who's he? Brian? Bryant?
Shaq is more worthy of being called my successor, but I will rule this alliance for many years. These people will line up behind me one by one. "
Michael Jordan wants to be the best man in history, waiting for successors and the like.
The Chicago Bulls who returned to the throne became the darlings of the big media, not only Michael Jordan, but also Scott Pippen, Dennis Rodman, Tony Kukoc, and Steve.
Regardless of what these star players do, the media will write a special story, not to mention the fact that the Lakers themselves and the Bulls have a lot of hot topics.
The TNT reporter also asked the Bulls players several questions about Michael Udin, Dennis Rodman being the first to be asked.
"Dennis, Lakers rookie power forward Michael Udin, is very popular these days. What do you think of this young man?"
"I've never heard of his name."
Dennis said blankly.
"Big Asian guy who has good footwork and shoots three points with his left hand."
As a Chicago Bulls reporter, this guy certainly knows Dennis Rodman's style. Dennis Rodman may not know who Michael Udin is, but he certainly knows the characteristics of Michael Udin's game.
"Oh he, I know the boy. He has a great haircut. Hairdressers in Los Angeles have two tricks.
I suggest that the Lakers kid color the thing on his head green, which looks cooler. If she has a high level of aesthetics, I don't think I'd mind being friends with her. "
Dennis Rodman says earnestly that this American has a soft spot for the greens, but Michael Udin has never met him face to face. This guy wants to make his head green. Michael Udin has set up Dennis Rodman from the start. line of defense in the heart.
Dennis Rodman has been able to be a season-long rebounding leader for years at just over two meters, that's because he knows the shooting habits of most NBA players, from every team's star to the spearhead. league. , Dennis Rodman will determine the highest rebound probability when the opponent makes a shot.
If the tempo of today's game was normal, Tony Kukoc might have more fights with Michael Udin. The two men were of the same height and had similar technical characteristics. The team is currently positioned in the sixth person, a duel between the two. Also quite interesting.
"Tony, Michael Udin of the Lakers is called Kukoc left-handed by many. Do you have anything to say to him?"
"As an international player, I know it's not easy to leave my hometown to come to the United States to work hard.
I am very happy that someone can make me a model for Michael Udin. This young man who looked a lot like me was very energetic. I think he's more confident than my rookie season.
The Lakers are also a very competitive team. We both play the same role. The many similarities make me think that it would be great to play against him.
As an Asian, Michael Udin's English is very good. I have read some news about him. If it weren't for his looks, I would even think he's a Los Angeles native.
I hope we can both play a great game. "
Tony Kukoc, who was born in the former Yugoslavia and is now a Croatian, had a natural affection for the non-American Michael Udin.
This is where Michael Udin struggles in the NBA, he rarely feels the warmth of his opponents.
