Chapter 178 East and West Finals



Chapter 178 East and West Finals
After some haggling between Bruce and Baylor, they finally reached a deal that both parties were very satisfied with.

According to the league's regulations, the two have only reached a verbal agreement now, and only after the finals are over, they will be allowed to complete contract extensions or sign or trade with players after the freeze period in July ends!
Because the year 2000 that Bruce is in now has not completed the reform of his previous life, so this year the entire July will still be frozen!
The final agreement reached between Bruce and Baylor was that the Warriors paid Billy Corley and the 2001 first-round unprotected pick that originally belonged to the Clippers, and the Clippers took out Marty Conlon and 03 years ago. The five-protected first-round pick, and the second-round picks for two consecutive years in 04 and 05 are used as bargaining chips for the exchange!

Eventually, Bruce and Baylor ended the call with satisfaction.

"Am I being too cruel??" Bruce muttered to himself with a smirk while hanging up the phone!

Through several transactions, Bruce has actually transferred the wealth of the Clippers to his own account a little bit, and with the completion of this transaction, he will get a very good return in the future.

NBA transactions are like long-term and short-term profits in the stock market. If Bruce didn't have all the memories of his previous life, I'm afraid he would be very happy to pay a considerable amount of tuition fees to the managers of those teams in the early days, but now There is no such worry at all. What could be more refreshing than being robbed?
After the negotiation of the "disparity" in strength was over, Bruce drove his car to the Warriors arena in a very good mood!

As time gradually entered the end of May, the finals between the East and the West gradually entered a fever pitch!

The Pacers in the East, under the leadership of Bird and Reggie Miller and others, have lost 2% in a row at home. After returning to their home court with the Knicks, they surprisingly lost two games in a row. The game between the two teams was tied 2:[-], which also brought huge doubts and some troubles to the Pacers!
Returning home with a little bit of pressure, the Pacers finally won a crucial game with a score of 5:31 in the fifth game between the two teams on May 88, which also put the final pressure on the home court. All pressure on the head of the Knicks.

Compared with the gradual end of the West, the Lakers and Trail Blazers in the West have launched a fierce collision between them!

第一场,在湖人队的主场内,凭借奥尼尔超强的41分11个篮板7次助攻和5次封盖的超级数据,以109:94的比分悍然拿到了第一场的胜利!

In this game, O'Neal showed his fangs thoroughly, and his powerful dominance blew up the inside line of the entire Trail Blazers!
As the main center of the Trail Blazers, although Sabonis played a huge role in the playoffs with his good competitive state, in the first game, he played 33 minutes but scored 0 points and 2 points. [-] assists are desperate statistics!

Everyone remembered O'Neal's madness, but they didn't consider Sabonis' performance in this game as a joke!

The second game was still played at the home court of the Lakers. When Sabonis was off the field due to injury, I don’t know if his injury detonated all the combat power of the Trail Blazers players. A shocking performance broke out in the second round!

Rasheed Wallace broke out with a super performance in this second game after the lackluster last game!

他全场上场46分钟,彪悍的拿到了29分和11个篮板的数据,再加上史蒂夫·史密斯和皮蓬相继拿到24分4篮板和21分11个篮板的数据,开拓者令人惊愕的拿到了106分,而湖人队则让人大跌眼镜的仅仅拿到了77分!
When Bruce saw the report of this game, he simply thought that the media reports were not about one team but two teams with opposite scores, but the facts are facts after all!

In the third game, the two teams moved to Portland. After the fierce competition between the Lakers and the Trail Blazers, the Lakers only won the game with a two-point lead over the Trail Blazers!
Judging from the first three games, the Trail Blazers exploded with tremendous energy and terrifying striker strength.

After O'Neal's crazy outburst, the Lakers lost the second game at home by a big score, but they still won this difficult game at the Blazers' home court!
In the fourth game, although Rasheed Wallace broke out as crazy as before, he scored 34 points and 13 rebounds, but in the explosion of the Lakers veteran, they still regrettably Lost the game at home!

In the fourth game, Glenn Rice and Ron Harper of the Lakers surprisingly scored 21 points, 7 rebounds and 18 points and 7 times.

Seeing the explosion of the two and the stable performance of the veterans on the Lakers bench, their performance really moved the league!

In the fifth game, although O'Neal still scored 31 points and 21 rebounds astonishingly, he could hardly resist the full-scale explosion of the Trail Blazers striker!
In this game, Wallace and Pippen broke out with great competitiveness one after another, and each player showed his greatest energy to play this game.

And their hard work and super performance also brought them wonderful results. When the final game whistle sounded, they once again won the game at the home court of the Lakers with 96:88 to cheer the fans. Not easy game!

O'Neal's madness did not allow them to hold on to the victory, and this game also made outsiders see the other side of the aging Lakers!
On June 6, the match between the four teams in the East and the West completely detonated the entire United States, and all the fans flooded into the home court of the Knicks and the Trail Blazers excitedly!
All fans know the importance of these two games, whether the Pacers in the East will advance with a score of 4:2, and whether the Lakers in the West will once again create a miracle at home in the Trail Blazers.

The entire United States and other countries that follow the NBA are looking forward to these two exciting games!
New York!

Bruce looked regretfully at the Knicks who walked off the court amidst the disappointed sighs of the home fans. Although they had shown the greatest energy and desire for the game, when they finally lost this time with a score of 80:93 After the long-awaited Eastern Conference finals, the fans at Madison Square Garden looked at the lonely figures and helplessness of the players one by one.

Sitting on the court, Bruce looked at this "noble" team that was about to decline with regret, and heard the sobbing softly from the Knicks fans around him, feeling astonished at the influence of this team!

When Bird and Reggie Miller tearfully accepted the Eastern Conference championship trophy presented by Stern, the stadium was suddenly silent.

I don't know which fan left the field first. When the Pacers finally completed this enviable ceremony, the fans in the arena suddenly became relaxed!

Bruce took one last look at the team that had struggled to win the Eastern Championship, and left this desirable arena with yearning and a little bit of determination!
In the whole game, Reggie Miller outrageously scored 34 points, 5 rebounds and 4 steals, which fully demonstrated the strength of this old "killer".

Through this game, Miller seemed to declare to the world that "I'm not old!!", showing all fans the roar of an unyielding veteran!
On the other hand, the Knicks, although Ewing scored 18 points and 12 rebounds and Sprewell's terrifying 34 points, under the premise of the team's downturn and Alan Houston's abnormal performance due to injury, losing this game It seems very normal!
Since the Knicks made it all the way to the Eastern Conference finals, the outside media have burst out signals that they are about to rebuild from time to time!
With Ewing's aging and injury factors, more and more people are convinced of this rumor.

When Bruce returned to Oakland, a little later in the Western Conference Finals between the Knicks and the Pacers, the Trail Blazers scored 103:93 at home and made the local fans excited to win this victory!
In the whole game, O'Neal scored 17 points and 11 rebounds. Compared with the crazy explosions in the previous games, this game was much more sluggish.

而湖人队最令人欣喜的便是科比的突然爆发了,他全场和奥尼尔一同上场48分钟,更是拿到了33分6次助攻4次抢断和3个盖帽的超级表现!

This game let everyone see Kobe's determination and desire to score super, coupled with his tough performance on the defensive end, no fan and the media are not excited about this quasi-super giant!
On June 6, when Bruce was busy preparing for the draft, Game 4 of the Western Conference officially ended with the Lakers' final difficult victory!

Throughout the game, Wallace still maintained a strong offensive ability. He scored 45 points and 30 rebounds in 4 minutes.

Although he is really surprising on offense, he is also very disappointing on the most critical rebound!
On the other hand, the Lakers are much more comprehensive. Five of them scored in double figures, plus Horry's good performance and O'Neal's steady performance. Although the game was very difficult, they still made it to the finals excitingly. the gate!

All the sports newspapers and media in the United States have reported on this series in great length, but less attention has been paid to the upcoming Chicago rookie training camp!

According to the time set by the league, the day before the first game of the finals will be the earliest date for these rookies to show themselves in the Chicago training camp, and everything depends on the schedule!

On June 6th, Bruce and Wilkens sat on the plane to Chicago. The two looked at O'Neal and Kobe who were cheering excitedly in the newspaper, especially at the western championship trophy they held in both hands. .

Thinking of the matter between O'Neal and Kobe, while feeling regretful for a while, Bruce is also very entangled in what will happen to this pair of stars in the future!

 Sweet dreams! ! ~~~
