Reboot McGrady

161 Chapter 162

The Lakers entered the finals through the tiebreaker.However, their emergence from the Wild West is very convincing in itself, so in the bookmaker's handicap, the Lakers' winning percentage is much higher than that of the Eagles.

The Eagles had the worst record in the league last season. Because of the arrival of Tracy McGrady, they became an upstart in the league. Their strength rose rapidly and they won the Eastern Conference championship.

But compared with the two NBA championships, it is still a bit worse.

The strength and running-in of the Lakers are obvious to all, and they are the favorites to successfully defend their title.Almost all newspapers, TV stations, websites, and various analysis are optimistic about the Lakers winning easily.

"The focus of this finals is whether the Lakers won 4:0 or 4:1, that's all."

"After analyzing the strength comparison of the teams, it should be 4:2. McGrady's crazy performance should help the Eagles win one or two games. One of the Eagles' victories was because the Lakers were careless in the away game and lost Contest."

The words are conclusive and well-founded.

O'Neal is still in his prime, and he is not bothered by a toe injury, and his state is getting better and better.Kobe played very vigorously for better data.

Phil Jackson faced the media, "Our goal has always been to defend the title. This Lakers team hopes to become a dynasty team after the Bulls."

"The combination of O'Neal and Kobe is still very hungry. They are full of hunger for the championship. This is an amazing team." Phil responded to the reporter with a smile, "There is no problem between the OK combination. Personality players, more importantly, they all know what the finals represent, and there will be no problems."

"Tracey is of course a top superstar. He is a great leader of the Eagles. Being able to lead last season's lottery team to the finals is already a great success."

Phil Jackson also expressed his appreciation for McGrady.To be honest, he saw the qualities of Jordan from McGrady.

Carlisle also expressed his respect for the Lakers, but the respect is all respect. In the finals, it is to compete for the championship. Even the recruits have a heart to compete for the championship.

"You can't say that the Eastern Conference championship is not successful, but you can't say that the Eastern Conference championship is successful. We hope to go further."

The Eastern Conference champions don't quench their thirst, they must win the championship, which is the team's greatest glory.

O'Neal accepted the pre-match interview, "Aha, Tracy is a great leader. He has an unparalleled ability to share, can make teammates play easily, and won't rely on teammates. I like such a guy."

"However, on the field of the finals, I am the ace of the Lakers. There is nothing to deny. I hope to lead the team to victory. It's that simple." O'Neal smiled, "Ben Wallace communicated with me, he I hope that I can compete with him as the boss of the team. I want to tell him that he will get his wish!"

"I admire Ben's courage. I will use my best performance to make him feel my respect. Defeating the opponent is the best respect for him."

When O'Neill was interviewed, he always smiled and was very entertaining, but between the lines, he also revealed that he has a smart head, affirmed McGrady's leader, and insinuated that Kobe competed for the boss position.

The interviewees before the game were naturally the bosses of the team. McGrady appeared in front of the reporters with a smile, blurred eyes, and a signature expression, which made people like it.

Several female reporters couldn't help cheering. They felt that McGrady's personal charm was unstoppable.

McGrady squeezed the microphone with his hands, "At the beginning of the season, no one ever thought that I would lead the team to the finals. I did it, and the pressure on my body was relieved by more than half. But most of this time was occupied by other pressure. The finals pressure."

"We have a very good team. We defeated the opponents in the East. Facing the Lakers, we must have shortcomings. This is an opportunity to learn from the defending champion and also a chance to challenge the champion."

"Fight, I have no way out except to fight!"

McGrady issued a declaration, fight, no matter what the result is, we must fight for a future.

Chambers hopes to decompress the team and has not set a record target for the team. Even if he loses the series, his target for this year has already been reached.

As long as it reaches the finals, the team's profit this year will exceed 5000 million US dollars.And there is good news in the past two days that Huaxia will broadcast the finals live, which shows that the influence of the Eagles in Huaxia is still improving.

Whether it is Yao Ming, who may become the No. [-] pick this year, or Battelle, who is already in the team, these are the reasons why Huaxia fans pay attention to the Eagles.Of course, the player who has attracted the most attention from Chinese fans is McGrady, the protagonist of the Eagles!
Before leaving for Los Angeles, Chambers also quietly found McGrady.

"What are our chances of winning? If we sell tickets, how many games can we sell?" Chambers smiled wryly, really not daring to hope for a championship.

"Entering the finals, generally speaking, we have a 50% chance of winning the championship, which will create the history of the Eagles." After the team transferred to the Eastern Conference, it won the championship for the first time, and the last time it won the championship was in the Western Conference." , I can guarantee that the team will win at least one game."

McGrady doesn't think this Eagles will be worse than last year's 76ers.Last year, the 76ers made it to the finals with Iverson and 4 defenses, and relied on Iverson's superb performance to win a victory.

McGrady is confident he can do the same.Enough trouble for the defending champions!
One or two victories are definitely achievable.Although Big Ben can't hold O'Neal, but in other positions, the Eagles are not at a disadvantage.

At the power forward position, Rashid's personal ability is higher than that of Robert Horry. At the small forward position, McGrady also has an advantage against Rick Fox, and the opponent is also having a headache how to defend McGrady.

At the shooting guard position, Kobe can blast Jackson, but it won't be easy.Jackson's strength is not inferior to Kobe Bryant. Even if he is exploded, he will tear off Kobe's skin.

At the position of point guard, Chauncey Billups will have an advantage compared to Fisher. Fisher's role is just to control the ball over half court and then shoot three-pointers, but on the defensive end, he will be compared Lupus suppressed.

In terms of substitute players, Jason Terry and Turkoglu will have a certain advantage in the confrontation with Devin George and Brian Shaw.

After the plane landed in Los Angeles, the Eagles players checked into the hotel. Within a short while, they were woken up by the crowd gathered outside. Hundreds of people outside were making noise and shouting, and some even drove sports cars whirring.

"Guys, how do you feel? This is the off-the-table trick of the finals." Ewing and AC Green greeted others with a smile, "The game hasn't started yet, but the confrontation between the two teams has already begun."

Seeing the nervous players, McGrady laughed and cursed, "You two old guys must be old and have trouble sleeping, so you came to chat with us. The game will start the day after tomorrow. The fans are in a hurry. Why are we in a hurry?"

As soon as the voice fell, the others also reacted, so there was no need to be nervous or anxious.It's not that the plane crashed into the building again.

"If you can't sleep, let's vent it at night. The nightlife in Los Angeles is quite rich." Tyronn Lu came up with another bad idea, "However, be careful, otherwise the police will make trouble on purpose."

"You want a free day again?" Chauncey thought back then, he also had troubles, neglected his younger brother, and was accused of rape.
