Chapter 216 215: After the glorious summer...(3/5)
When training camp for the new season began, newspapers across Los Angeles ran this headline:
"Is the miracle of three consecutive championships really coming!?"
People have not forgotten Shea's declaration of three consecutive championships after winning the championship.
Now Shay has won two consecutive championships and has proven himself again in the World Championships.
If he really wins three consecutive championships, then Shay will be completely on the altar.
The first three consecutive championships and the first dynasty of modern basketball, this is a great honor!
If Shay can become the first person, his historical status will definitely be improved a lot.
Los Angeles fans are already looking forward to the start of the new season, and the Lakers have done almost nothing this summer except Worthy's retirement.
Logo still believes that when the championship is not particularly certain, it is best not to take the initiative to seek changes.
After all, in his eyes, the team is still perfect in all aspects.
The Madman, who was selected to the third team and second defense last season, is very exciting.
Barkley, who is not suffering from injuries, is still a top star.
Not to mention Shay, he is already strong but still improving.
Coupled with Dell Curry's return from injury, Clifford Robinson, Perkins and AC Green's hard work.
There is no reason for the Lakers to fail.
Over in Chicago, the tyrant who returned at the end of last season but experienced failure has locked himself in the training ground this summer and practiced hard.
Moreover, Jordan has decided to remove the number 23 that has been sealed from the Chicago Stadium, ah no, from the dome of the new home stadium, the United Center!
Last season, Shay's words "No. 45 is not as strong as No. 23" lingered in Danzi's ears every day and night, keeping him awake at night.
Let's put it this way, when Danzi went out to eat soft tofu after training, he didn't dare to close his eyes and enjoy it. Because as soon as he closed his eyes, he would think of Shay defeating him, remembering that he lost the Eastern Conference finals, and then suddenly because he was not attentive enough
And it's good to have a good afternoon.
This guy who is extremely competitive will definitely not let Shay succeed three times in a row.
The situation is now clear.
Whoever can win three consecutive championships will be the first!
Jordan feels that he will definitely win three consecutive championships, and the basis for his three consecutive championships is to destroy Shay's three consecutive championships!
This season, Jordan believes that his condition has returned to 100%.
In addition, Sabonis is back from injury and that useless second-year player Pippen, and there is no decent opponent in the Eastern Conference after Ewing was retired for the season ahead of schedule.
All this makes Danzi firmly believe that the Bulls can reach the top again!
However, Knicks coach Pat Riley, who had just lost to Shay in the Finals, did not feel that the Bulls were the biggest obstacle to the Lakers' three consecutive championships.
When reporters asked him who the Lakers' strongest opponent would be next season, this guy with an American-style haircut said in confusion:
"It's them.
I said this when I was coaching the Lakers in the 1980s.
The one who kills the championship is the championship himself!”
Pat Riley never came close to winning three consecutive championships. In the 1986-87 and 1987-88 seasons, the Lakers were the same as they are now.
Two consecutive championships, he is at the top of his game and his future is bright.
In the 1988-89 season, the Lakers began to challenge for three consecutive championships. That year, the Lakers still won 57 games in the regular season, ranking first in the Western Conference.
But in the end, in the Finals, the Lakers were crushed by themselves.
Three consecutive years of high-intensity combat is something not everyone can bear.
Winning the championship for three consecutive years means playing nearly 40 more games than other teams and shortening the offseason by two months.
If it lasts for one year, it's no problem for the players, but if it lasts for three years, it will be a problem.
Of course, physical fitness, energy and health are only part of the reasons for failure.
In short, Riley knows very well that the difficulty of winning three consecutive championships is not only the difficulty of defeating the opponent.
If it were really that easy to win three consecutive championships, it would be ruined long ago.
It's just that at this time of year, few people will take Riley's words to heart.
Many Los Angeles fans even think that Riley is just jealous that the Lakers are better off without him.
Almost everyone believes that this perfect Lakers can reach the top again.
Even the ugly Hu Weidong could not prevent this miraculous moment from coming.
In this way, with expectations and doubts, the seemingly glamorous Lakers started the 1994-95 season.
After a glorious summer, Shay also started his new journey.
※※※
Michael Jordan lay excitedly on the court floor, holding a basketball and crying.
This tyrant rarely sheds tears in public, but today, he really couldn't hold it any longer.
Because today is Father's Day.
G6 of the 1994-95 season finals had just ended. The Bulls won the game 87-75, turning the total score into 4-2.
Chicago Bulls, NBA champion in the 1994-95 season!
Father's Day, champion.
This means a lot to Jordan.
Just 14 months ago, he was a baseball player.
He is still immersed in the grief of his father's unexpected death.
And now, 14 months later, the real Michael Jordan is back!
After losing last season, people said Jordan would never be able to return to the top.
So he averaged 30.4 points per game this season, led the team to 68 wins, and took away the MVP, AMVP, and now the championship!
He believed that his father was watching him at this moment.
He also believed that he had truly come out completely.
He broke the doubt and walked out of the haze.
He is no longer Michael Jordan, a non-famous baseball player, but Michael Jordan, a three-time NBA champion!
When Jordan was surrounded by reporters, the loser also lowered his head and prepared to leave.
However, it wasn't the Lakers who lost at the United Center.
It's Olajuwon and his Houston Rockets!
This year, the entire Rockets team worked together and created countless miracles.
They only entered the playoffs as sixth in the regular season, but they turned around and finally reached the finals.
Unfortunately, the legendary story ends here.
Michael Jordan wants to write his legend, and Olajuwon also wants to write his legend.
But again, there can be many heroes in each season, but there is always only one winner!
Olajuwon became a hero, but he failed to become a winner.
Twenty minutes later, the Chicago Bulls players lifted the championship trophy at their new home stadium, the United Center.
From 1991 to 1995, in these five years, Jordan won three championships!
Moreover, there was one year when he didn't play much!
So strictly speaking, it’s three championships in four years!
For a time, Michael Jordan once again became the terrible tyrant who ruled the league in people's minds.
Three trophies in five years, no more dominant performance than this.
Stern even admitted on behalf of the officials when presenting the award: "Three championships in five years. This is undoubtedly the first NBA dynasty in the 1990s!"
At this moment, the local Chicago commentator could no longer suppress the excitement in his heart:
"It seems that the championship has always belonged to the Bulls, but Michael Jordan was loaned to the Los Angeles Lakers for two years!
Now, the championship is back, home sweet home, where it belongs: Chicago!"
Finally, someone mentioned the Los Angeles Lakers.
Tonight, the Lakers have almost been forgotten by everyone.
Just last summer, everyone seemed to think that the Los Angeles Lakers would establish a three-peat dynasty.
Last summer, everyone felt that the Lakers would be the rulers of this era.
To be continued...
