Bishop of the Devil

On the eve of the finals, Richard received a call from Kobe.

Kobe is also a frequent visitor to the Finals, but this is the first time he has led his team to the Finals. He was with O'Neal in the previous Finals.

Kobe's tone on the phone was quite exciting. This time he could finally give Richard a try.

During the regular season, the Lakers met the Buccaneers twice, and Richard sent out fringe lineups, which made Kobe furious.

And now it's the finals. If Richard continues to send out marginal lineups, I'm afraid Kobe will go crazy and win a championship for nothing...

At the beginning of the first game of the Finals, O'Neal injured his knee during half of the game and ended sadly. Oden came on in O'Neal's place.

Although the Pirates still won this game, the victory was quite thrilling. In the end, they only won by four points.

Lakers fans are going crazy with joy. O'Neal is injured? This is simply great news!

Although Oden's strength is not much different from O'Neal's and is basically at the same level, it is impossible for Oden to stay on the court and play the full 48 minutes...

Maybe it's time for the Lakers to blow the counterattack horn.

But what made Lakers fans roll their eyes was that O'Neal returned from injury in G2 of the Finals.

Once a veteran like O'Neal is injured, the recovery period is actually much longer than that of a young player. Young players may only need three to five days to recover from minor injuries, but these veterans have to rest for a month!

But now O'Neal has recovered and returned after only two days of rest. This is not the kind of reluctant effort. Judging from the state on the court, O'Neal has really recovered and his condition has not been affected in the slightest.

Needless to say, Richard must have used the primary injury reel on O'Neal.

This was also Richard's helpless move. He didn't want any changes to occur in the finals. Even if Oden could assume O'Neal's position, Richard didn't want any changes to occur, so he simply used a junior injury scroll for O'Neal.

Naturally, the G2 Pirates won again.

By the time of G3 of the Finals, the Lakers' hopes were rising again. Oden was injured...

It is even more impossible for the old O'Neal to carry the game for 48 minutes. The Lakers' opportunity has come.

In this game, the Lakers had a considerable home court advantage. Coupled with the explosion of players, Odom made 5 of 7 three-pointers and scored 27 points in the game. Kobe Bryant scored 37 points in the game. In the Pirates got a victory in his hands.

Lakers fans are naturally elated. Now that Oden is injured, although the Lakers are one game behind, after all, the Pirates win at home. As long as the Lakers keep the next home court, they will be back on the same page as the Pirates. starting line.

What made them continue to roll their eyes was that Oden returned from injury in G4.

Lakers fans are going crazy. Why are the Pirates players so durable? Can an injury be healed in the blink of an eye? !

Every time after having hope, the injured Pirates players immediately come back from injury, which always makes people happy.

Although it is a bit unkind to hope that the opponent's players will be injured, there are still many fans who hope that the opponent's main players will be injured so that their home team can increase the chance of winning the championship.

Whether they are Lakers fans or Pirates fans, they all have similar thoughts.

Pirates fans hope that Kobe Bryant will be injured, while Lakers fans hope that all the main players of the Pirates will be injured...

…

Oden returned from injury in G4 and had an explosive performance. He played 30 minutes and scored 23 points, 16 rebounds and 3 blocks. He did not fall behind in the head-to-head confrontation with Ben.

Now Ben is gradually starting to decline. There is no way. His age is there. He is purely a blue-collar center who relies on his body to make a living. Age and injuries can be said to be his biggest enemies. Although Ben has not had any success in his career at present. No serious injuries have been encountered, but the issue of age cannot be ignored.

Now Daben is already 34 years old...

After winning G4, the Pirates led the Lakers with a score of 3:1.

Richard also breathed a sigh of relief. Oden and O'Neal were injured one after another, which really shocked him.

If there aren't enough injury scrolls on hand, then if Paul gets injured next, Richard will really be able to just stare.

Fortunately, Paul did not miss this time. In these four games, he averaged top statistics of 20 points, 15 assists, 4 rebounds and 2 steals per game. If nothing else, Paul will be the MVP candidate for this year's finals.

Of course, that's assuming Paul doesn't continue to fall behind in the next game...

Finals G5, the home court of the Pirates. If the Pirates win this game, they will hold a championship award ceremony at their home court.

Before the game even started, the list of the number of championships won by active NBA head coaches was also displayed on the big screen.

The number one ranking is naturally Lakers head coach Jackson Jackson, while the number two ranking is Richard of the Pirates.

It can be said that this round of finals is not only about the ownership of a championship trophy, but also about whether Richard can catch up with Jackson Jackson and become the head coach with the most championships among the active head coaches in the league today!

Jackson currently has seven championship rings, while Richard only has six. If the Pirates win the championship this time, Richard will tie Jackson!

Soon, people from both sides began to appear, and the starting generals were all gearing up!

Richard is still quite relaxed. If nothing else happens, they will be able to completely defeat the Lakers in this game and win the championship.

The Lakers' fighting strength is not weak, but in fact, this Lakers team is not at their strongest. Otherwise, under normal circumstances, they would not lose to Green Kai in the finals this season.

After Artest joins, this Lakers team will truly become the team of kings.

However, because big money occupies the team's salary, it is obviously difficult for the Lakers to get Artest. If they really want to get Artest, the only thing they can do is to trade with big money.

…

With three minutes left in the first half, Kobe appeared to have injured his wrist and was taken to the locker room by the team doctor.

This makes Pirates fans even more confident, and the championship is guaranteed...

However, in the second half of the game, Kobe returned to the court again. Looking at his wrist with a thick layer of wristbands, it was obvious that he was playing with an injury.

This is not to say how great Kobe is. If it were 80% of the leading stars, they would definitely choose to lead the team. They have been pushed to the edge of the cliff. As long as they are not dead, as long as they can still play, Then you must show up.

The vast majority of stars will make a choice like Kobe's, but a small number of stars are special and may even fake injuries when they are not injured...

"I vow to lead the team into the playoffs!"

"I hurt my groin..."

"I want to start the playoff mode!"

"What? The next opponents are the Raptors and Bucks? Well, my groin is injured again..."

The groin injury of a certain person who was the first in history was a 5G smart injury. He immediately recovered from injury when he encountered a weak team, and immediately suffered a groin injury when he encountered a strong team. The magical groin...

Huawei's 5G has not yet been used, but this is the first person in history to use 5G.

…

"Beep!" The referee blew the whistle to end the game. Kobe's eyes were red, he lost, they lost the game.

Although they won a victory in the hands of the Buccaneers, it was obviously not the result that Kobe expected.

What he is looking forward to is to fight Richard in seven games, so that even if he loses this round of the finals, he will have no regrets.

Now they only lasted five games before losing...

The entire Pirates Arena was in a state of excitement. The second championship trophy in team history was in hand. After four years of establishment, the team won two championships. Looking at the entire history of the NBA, there is absolutely no such thing!

Although the Bucks, like the Pirates, won the championship three years after they were founded, they only have one championship in their team history, and there is absolutely no comparison with the Pirates.

The Bucks are a typical team that drives high and goes low, but the Buccaneers are obviously not. They are the real team of kings.
