After the game with the Suns, the Lakers record 7 wins and 1 loss together with Houston occupy the top position in the Western Conference. The following is a 7-2 super speed, 5-3 Jazz.
The Supersonics still maintained the highest level of the Western Conference in the previous season. After playing a series against Jordan, they had a lot of experience this season.
Gary Peyton just signed a new contract in the summer, a four-year 40 million contract. While signing a new contract, while maintaining a very high level of defense, he also increased the number of shots on the offensive end, from 15.8 shots per game last year to 18.1. Averages per game also reached 21.8 points, 4.6 rebounds, 7.1 assists and 2.4 steals.
Gary Peyton's low post ability is getting better and better. With the continuous strengthening of his physical strength, he can only eat 80% of the league's point guards in the low post.
This season is Sean Camp ’s contract year. I heard that he offered a five-year 80 million renewal contract to Supersonic. The Supersonics did not agree. . This made the Rainer play with anger this season. He wanted to make a price in the contract year, and even the nightclubs have been a lot less.
And the performance of the Utah Jazz in the opening is not good. Whether they win or lose, their performance is very struggling. They lost 85:91 in the duel with Olajuwon.
With Malone's aggressiveness gradually strengthening, their current status is gradually picking up. With Malone's overall performance, the team is gradually on the right track.
Leaders of the Lakers and Houston made the media very excited, a star with three stars and a new magician and sky hook on one side.
Especially in their duel, the Lakers also won the game in double overtime, and there are too many things worth composing. Young male lions challenge past kings, this is the most enthusiastic topic of the American media.
After all, everyone knows the invincibility of the Bulls, and the media are eager to establish a Bulls opponent. In the east, there is almost no team that can compete with the Bulls.
There are many strong teams in the east, even more than those in the west.
Such as the Knicks led by Ewing. Pat Riley's Heat, they also formed the Big Three this summer, Tim Hardaway, tough guys Alonzo Moning and Jamal Mashburn.
Grant Hill ’s Pistons, Penny Hardaway ’s Magic, Charlotte Hornets, Atlanta Hawks are all strong teams. These teams have the possibility of 50 wins or even 60 wins.
But for now, it is difficult to find a team that can compete with the Bulls in the East. Each team has more or less their flaws.
While a champion team is mostly flawless, you will be targeted for flaws, and in a series of playoffs, your shortcomings will magnify indefinitely and eventually lead to loss.
The Knicks of Ewing lacked organizers, and the Hawks lacked a star. The Hornets' guard couldn't defend Jordan. Hardaway and Hill fought alone.
These teams are difficult to stop the Bulls' hoofs. There is no team like the Bad Boys or Celtics in the East that can compete with Michael Jordan.
So the media began to focus on the west, the three giants in the west hot this year and the Lakers Gemini.
Current media believes that only these two teams have a chance to beat the Bulls.
The media began to tout the Big Three and O'Neill and Kobe. Establishing an opponent comparable to Jordan is what they want to do, which is of great benefit to the overall atmosphere of the U.S. professional basketball. If a team is truly invincible, just like the Chinese table tennis in later generations, even Winners will find it boring, especially for the audience.
The champion produced under the most intense confrontation is the champion worthy of everyone's respect.

The Lakers flew to San Francisco the next day after the game.
San Francisco is a port city on the Pacific coast of California, USA, and is the world's famous tourist destination and the fourth largest city in California. San Francisco is close to the world-famous high-tech industrial zone Silicon Valley. It is one of the world's most important high-tech R & D bases and the most important financial center on the west coast of the United States. It is also the birthplace of the United Nations.
It is close to Los Angeles, with warm winters and cool summers, and plenty of sunshine. It is close to many US national parks (such as Yosemite National Park) and the Napa Valley, California wine region, often referred to as "the most popular city for Americans."
The Lakers played against the Golden State Warriors in the preseason. At that time, Kobe was still a substitute, and now Kobe has become the hottest star player among the 96 rookies.
"Guys, the first coach in the league to be fired appeared." Rambis made a phone call after getting off the plane, and then told the players the news.
"What? Who is it?"
"The Suns' Corton Fitzsimmons, the sun kicked him out after the start of 0-8. His successor is Danny Angie, the Suns will usher in a big change."
"Danny Angie? Is that the Celtics?"
"Yes. UU Reading Books www.uukanshu.com"
Bryant frowned slightly. Danny Angie was the character who formed the Celtics Big Three. He was a shrewd character, and he didn't know what kind of ups and downs would be made in the Suns.
. . . . . .
"Good evening, friends, this is the live broadcast of the professional basketball brought to you by San Francisco TV."
"This game is played by the Golden State Warriors at home against the Los Angeles Lakers. I am explaining Rick Barry."
"I am Bernard King."
"Bernard, I have to say that the Lakers picked up the treasure this summer."
"Yes, their point guard Kobe Bryant is just like the magician of that year, playing a wonderful performance."
"This is related to Shaq's containment, I always believe that players can get better around the great center."
"This is complementary."
"Our top pick last year, Joe Smith also played a good performance of 18.7 + 8.5 this year, he is gradually fulfilling his talent."
"I'm optimistic that our team will give the young Lakers a second defeat today."
"To deal with Shaq, we started from the Orlando Magic at the beginning of the season with Filton Spencer. This 2.13-meter, 120-kilogram heavy center is the key point for us to limit O'Neill.
"I always believe that as long as Shaq is restrained, Kobe can't turn over the waves. After all, he is just an 18-year-old child, he hasn't even reached the legal drinking age!"
"Barry, did you consider guiding Shaq's free throw? If his free throw can reach a 90% shooting rate like you, he is afraid that he will become the strongest center in the world."
"Not everyone can learn to pour the toilet, I would like to call it a must."
