I'm really strong in basketball

A certain player who wants to prove that "he can dominate the game in different ways" has gone crazy recently. Sometimes he doesn't take a shot when he has an excellent opportunity, and he insists on getting an assist.

But because of his madness, O'Neill played very well, and Liu He also got more shots.The entire Lakers team enjoyed themselves and won every game.

2003 11 Month 19 Day.

The Lakers beat the New York Knicks 112:81 in back-to-back away games.

O'Neal scored 27 points, 12 rebounds and 2 blocks.

Liu He scored 21 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals.

Kobe had 15 points, 4 rebounds and 14 assists.

2003 11 Month 21 Day.

The Lakers returned home with a 107-77 victory over the Chicago Bulls.

Liu He competed with Scottie Pippen for the first time, but it may be the last time. The 38-year-old Pippen has come to the end of his career, and his body is no longer enough to support him to play more games.

In this game, O'Neal scored 24 points, 12 rebounds and 5 blocks.

Liu He scored 16 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist.

Kobe had 18 points, 6 rebounds and 14 assists.

2003 11 Month 23 Day.

The Lakers host the Grizzlies.

But in the end, the Lakers beat the Grizzlies 121:77 by 44 points.At the end of the game, Pau Gasol was autistic.

O'Neal scored 36 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 blocks.

The Lakers beat the Washington Wizards 120:80.

2003 11 Month 28 Day.

The Lakers beat the "GDP" combined Spurs 117:87.

It is worth mentioning that Robert Horry was in poor form in this game and did not have any conflicts with Liu He.

Throughout November, the Lakers showed unrivaled strength, crushing all opponents.Even the defending champion Spurs did not have the slightest ability to fight back.

So far, the Lakers' record has come to 15 wins and 1 loss, ranking first in the league.

In November, there is only the last game left. The opponent is the Indiana Pacers with the second record in the league and the first in the Eastern Conference.

League No. [-] vs League No. [-] is destined to be a world war where sparks hit the earth.

What's more, a large part of fans regard this game as a preview of the finals.

There is no doubt that the Lakers are the leaders in the Western Conference, with the best strength in the league.

The Pacers also played an excellent record in the November game, worthy of the title of the Eastern Conference leader.

According to this record, the two teams are basically the top names in the East and West, as well as the top seeds, and they are the most likely opponents in the finals.

The Lakers also attach great importance to this game.

Phil led the team to meditate for 15 minutes, and then led the coaching staff to help the team study the Pacers' lineup.

The inside core of the Pacers is the No. 96 pick of the golden generation in 17, the 25-year-old "Jermaine O'Neal" Jermaine O'Neal, who is also a talented high school player.

Like Kobe, he is very talented, but because of the low rate of high school students in that era, he was not selected high. The team status was very low at the beginning of his career, and he played a little bit from the bench.

This season, Jermaine O'Neal averaged 20.1 points, 10.0 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 2.6 blocks per game. He is also a star with both offense and defense.

The outside core of the Pacers is "The Beast" Ron Artest. This season, Artest averaged 18.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 2.1 steals per game.

It should be noted that Artest at this moment is not the same as the league bum in the later period, but a league star with both offense and defense.

This season, he limited the opponent's scoring to 8.1 points per game, was selected as an All-Star, and was elected DPOY (Best Defensive Player), and was also named the best small forward in 2004 by the media.

You know, Artest was only 24 years old at this time. If he hadn't been buried in the Auburn Hills Palace incident and ruined himself, Artest had the potential to become a superstar.

In addition to the two young cores, there are also veteran players like "Jordan's old enemy" Reggie Miller.

The bench also has a bench bandit led by Al Harrington.

Speaking of which, the Pacers lineup is not as gorgeous as the Lakers, but it is much more reasonable and deeper than the Lakers.

In addition, the Pacers have an excellent general manager and head coach.

The general manager of the Pacers at the time was: "Big Bird" Larry Bird, the "King of NBA Kings".

The head coach of the Pacers at the time was Bird's friend Jim Carrey, no!It's Rick Carlisle.

(Carlyle looks too much like Oscar winner Jim Carrey)

The résumé that this young manager has is intimidating.

In the 01-02 season, Carlisle's first year of coaching allowed the Pistons to advance from tenth in the Eastern Conference to second in the Eastern Conference.

In the 02-03 season, the Pistons directly reached the top of the Eastern Conference leaders, but unfortunately he had a bad relationship with Joe Dumars and was kicked out in the summer.Let Larry Brown steal Carlisle's work.

This season, under the leadership of Carlisle, the Pacers are now No. [-] in the Eastern Conference.If it weren't for the bug of the Lakers, the Pacers would be able to lead the entire league.

So from every angle, this Pacers team should not be underestimated.

Of course, it's just not to be underestimated.

Facing the Super Galaxy battleship led by the Lakers F4, all opponents are ants, and the Pacers are just bigger ants.

What the fans expect is that the Pacers can cause a little more trouble for the Lakers, and don't enter garbage time in three quarters or even halftime like those previous games.

This wind direction immediately angered the Pacers' second-in-command, Ron Artest, who felt that he and the Pacers were underestimated.

Artest is a notorious thug in today's league.

He was born in Queensbridge, New York, a place full of violence and crime. His father is a gold medal fighter in the underworld, his sister is a habitual fraudster, and his grandmother joined two best friends (one is 87 years old and the other is 91 years old) at the age of 101 to create a bank robbery that shocked the United States.Growing up in such a family, Artest developed irritability when he was 8 years old.And because he didn't have enough money to see a doctor, Artest's condition became more and more serious.

Only a few years into the league, Artest has already committed a lot of crimes.

Broken two of Jordan's ribs, scuffled with Heat general manager Pat Riley twice, fought with other players in front of former US President Bill Clinton, knocked Wells over the Trail Blazers after losing...

Artest is a gasoline barrel that may explode at any time.

This season, the Pacers have played an incredible record, and Artest is at his most glorious time. How can he bear the fans and the media saying that they can't do it.

Not even the "Galactico" Lakers.

The day before the game, Artest publicly stated: "The reason why the Lakers won consecutively is because they haven't met a real strong team, and we are that team! After this game, all those guys who think we can't do it will shut up. Yes, that's it. I will let all the guys who are not optimistic about us know: They made a big mistake!"

Immediately on the Lakers' open training day, Lakers star O'Neal and Kobe Bryant also accepted interviews.

O'Neill just smiled contemptuously: "Did that young man accept the interview before he woke up? Otherwise, why would he talk in his sleep?"

Kobe said: "See you on the court!"

In this way, before the game even started, there was sparks of friction between the two sides, and the smoke filled the air.

In this atmosphere, Lakers player Devin George finally prepared his own "welcome ceremony" and contacted many teammates, preparing to "welcome" several newcomers to the team tonight. The focus is naturally on Liu He.

Liu He knew nothing about this.

The last day of November 2003.

Los Angeles, Staples Center.

The appearance ceremony of the two sides caused a huge sensation.

First up was the Pacers, walking out of the tunnel amidst huge boos from Los Angeles fans.

The fifth position: Jeff Foster, the fourth position: Jermaine O'Neal, the third position: Ron Artest, the second position Reggie Miller, the first position: Kenny Anderson.

Then the Lakers came out to cheers.

Position [-]: O'Neal, Position [-]: Malone, Position [-]: Liu He, Position [-]: Kobe, Position [-]: Payton.

Subsequently, the players of both sides stood in the midfield and the game was about to begin.

Artest stared directly at Kobe, grabbed Kobe's arm, and sprayed trash talk almost face to face: "Philadelphia baby, you say see you at the stadium, I'm here, I will hold you in my arms tonight and love you."

Kobe looked at the ferocious Artest calmly, without even blinking his eyes: "Is this your skill? You don't play the ball very well, and you only have a hard mouth."

Not far away, Reggie Miller immediately went to play: "Little Peach, after playing for several years, her teeth have sharpened a lot. Have you forgotten the thing that I was crushed on the technical table back then?"

Ma Long, who proclaimed himself the boss of the locker room, naturally would not stand by and watch: "Reggie, if you want to bleed, I can help you."

Miller glanced at Malone sideways: "Who am I? It turned out to be the tough guy Malone who shamelessly knelt down for the championship and hugged the thigh of a young man 15 years younger than himself!"

Miller deliberately amplified the word "tough guy", making Malone instantly flushed and angry, like a raging beast.

Seeing that something was wrong, Peyton immediately stepped forward to stop Malone, and yelled at Miller: "Bitch, I'll let you see if the master is strong enough later!"

Reggie Miller was not afraid at all: "What kind of bastard are you, who goes to the toilet without lifting your pants, and you are exposed?"

Artest found himself ignored.

Kobe, Malone, and Payton all stared at Miller, spouting saliva everywhere.

However, Miller was not afraid at all, and with one against three, he still did not lose the wind.

This guy's trash talk is really good. No wonder the "God of Basketball" Jordan was irritated by him, and he directly strangled Miller's neck and rewarded him with big rewards.

Seeing that several people were arguing non-stop, O'Neill came over and stretched out two hands to Reggie Miller. One hand raised three fingers, and the other hand made a "0".

3 is better than 0!

3 is better than 0!

3 is better than 0!

Reggie Miller was taken aback for a moment, but after he realized it, he was speechless and couldn't spit out another word.

It has to be this trick.

Everyone is a star, so it is better than the number of championships.

What, you haven't won a championship?

So what kind of star are you?

O'Neill hit fatally.

However, some people expressed dissatisfaction. Artest ignored O'Neal's gesture and said with disdain: "What's so special about the championship ring? You can win the championship because I haven't entered the league yet. Now that I'm here, you can be No.2 obediently!"

It's good to be young, and there are infinite possibilities when you are young.

Artest is really crazy, but he has the capital of arrogance.

Unlike Reggie Miller, who has reached the end of his career, and his chances of winning the championship are fading.

Just then, O'Neill patted Miller on the shoulder.

Miller realized that the team has O'Neal and Artest. The Pacers are also a strong team, so they may not be able to win the championship from the Lakers.

The star who has played for 17 seasons and suffered repeated defeats and defeats in the Jordan era has once again regained his fighting spirit.

Fight against the four heavenly kings alone without losing the wind.

This scene naturally attracted the attention of all fans.

In the TNT studio, Barkley, Smith, and Cole explained the game.

When Barkley saw this scene, he became excited instantly: "This will definitely be a battle of the century, and there will be a good show tonight!"

"By the way, Steve, I haven't seen you in a week. Why have you lost so much weight? That's not okay, you should eat more."

That's right, Colby had lost a lot of weight before, his cheeks were sunken, he was obviously thinner, and he looked unhealthy.

When it came to eating, Cole retched, looking extremely painful.

Do you know how I got here these few weeks?

When I sleep, I dream of donkey butts everywhere; when I eat, I see donkey butts on the plate; even when I watch the game, there are donkey butts everywhere on the TV... Cole is about to collapse.

He really wanted to beg Liu He.

Lord, I was wrong.

You hang, you hang the most!

You hang more than Anthony and James.

We have the ability to get more than 30 points, so why not just take it?Stop torturing me.

Game start.

The Pacers won with a jump ball and gained first-round possession.

Artest asked for the ball directly and launched an offense.

Kobe took the initiative to take on the task of defending the opponent's outside arrows and faced Artest.

Without the slightest hesitation, Artest rushed in directly.

Many fans say that James is a crab, that is, he has never seen Artest play in his early days.

Artest crossed his arms, leaned on his elbow, and directly pushed Kobe inward. The whole movement had no aesthetic feeling, and his arrogant and domineering appearance looked like a domineering crab.

And Artest is not fast, purely relying on his 201cm, 117kg beast body.

Kobe in the No. 8 period was not strong enough, and he really couldn't stand it, and he retreated steadily.

However, every time Kobe was pushed away, he would immediately pounce on him again, always pestering Artest, which also made Artest extremely uncomfortable.

The two people flew iron elbows horizontally, making small movements continuously, which made Liu He tremble with fear.

If it was me, I was afraid I would lie down.

Artest has never been able to get enough shot space, and the final forced shot came out of the frame.

O'Neal protected the rebound.
