"The finals mvp? It's the mvp that snatched from Ma Long's hand? If it's that kind of mvp, I'm sorry, I'm not interested at all. I'm not him. My goals will always be championships, data, finals mvp, and even regular season mvp. I'm not interested. If he wants to use such standards to demand me, then he's wrong. I said, I will use my three championships and defenses to let him know what is the real NBA finals!"

"I know Scott has three championships, and he doesn't need to emphasize every day that there are many players in NBA. I have never seen Bill Russell use his own championship number to teach players in the league. He has this qualification, but he has never done this. And Scott, maybe he can compete with my Lakers teammates in three years to compete with who has more championships. To be honest, I never took Scott's words to heart, and I never regarded him as my opponent. I only have one opponent, that is Michael Jordan, he is the boss of the Bulls. As for Pippen? He is very confident in his defense and his defense is also excellent. That's all, just his defense. For me, it's no different from our team's Trevor Rufen. Trevor can't defend me, and Pippen can't defend me. The reason is that simple."

"What? Traevo Rufen? Is the Lakers' 1.85-meter-high point guard? He really said that?"

Pippen, who had just left the airport, heard the reporters around him reposting Lin Han's words, and for a moment he thought he had heard it wrong.

After the match situation in the finals was released, the popularity of the NBA finals continued to soar.

Neither Lin Han nor Pippen are fuel-efficient. Under the intentional or unintentional instigation of the media, the two of them can be said to be very happy in recent days.

It can be said that in the finals between the Lakers and Bulls, Lin Han and Jordan should have attracted the most attention. But now, Pippen is fighting against Lin Han, while Jordan looks like he is watching the show next to him.

"If this is really what he said, I'm sorry, the last bit of respect I have for him disappeared. Yes, I don't like him very much, and even hate him, but I still agree with the achievements over the past year. But when he said such words, in my heart, he is a lunatic who has played basketball for less than two years and is arrogant and ignorant to a certain extent. My defense is the same as Trevor Rufen? You go and ask any other players in the league, and ask Michael, can Michael score 100 points on Rufen's head, and can Michael score 100 points on my head!"

After Pippen finished speaking to the reporters around him angrily, everyone looked at Jordan next to him.

"Scott is right, I don't think I can score 100 points on Scott's head"

"That is, Michael thinks he can score 100 points on Trevoruben's head?"

"If the Lakers are willing to use him to defend me, why not try it?"

Jordan smiled and shrugged and said, then took the Bulls players on the bus.

"Go and tell that guy, I'm looking forward to him slashing 100 points on my head!"

Pippen, who boarded the bus, did not forget to stick his head out and provoke the Los Angeles reporter at the scene.

"Okay, Scott, stop playing"

Looking at Pippen who was so excited at this time, Phil Jackson, as the head coach, was actually very happy.

It is a good thing that the team's players are so hungry, and they are the head of the Lakers. If Pippen's provocation to Lin Han can disturb Lin Han's emotions, it would be really good.

Lin Han is the strongest young player he has ever seen. Even Jordan was not so strong at the age of 21. The first game between the Bulls and the Lakers this year's regular season, Lin Han scored 75 points crazy on the Bulls' head, which still vividly kept him in his mind.

Although that was only the regular season, although Jordan was not in the best form after returning after retirement for a year, even so, is there any outside player in the NBA who can score 75 points against Pippen and Jordan?

It’s impossible, no one can do it except Lin Han!

Looking at the scenery of Los Angeles that was constantly retreating outside, Phil Jackson was still a little worried.

Now American media experts are almost unanimously optimistic that the Bulls can easily solve the Lakers.

It was because of Jordan and Pippen that Jordan completely regained the style and state of the basketball god in the last round of the game against the Magic. As for Pippen, after being played by Hardaway in two very embarrassing games, the defense against Penny Hardaway in the next few games finally allowed everyone to see the style of the NBA's best outside defender.

It can be said that the two leading players of the Bulls are in good shape!

If Jordan and Pippen can maintain this form, he even feels that next season, he can lead the Bulls to break the Jazz's best regular season record of 72-10 last season.

Therefore, such a Bulls, facing any team, even the Rockets that many media said that the Bulls could not defeat, has absolute confidence to win, because the Bulls are unprecedentedly strong now. After Jordan retired for a year, his strength has not only not declined, but after regaining his form, his strength has even reached a new level!

It's just the Lakers and Lin Han...

Lin Han, this is a player full of surprises. Everyone can have different opinions on his strength. Those who like him will say that he is the strongest player in NBA history, and those who don’t like him will say that he is just a data brush.

However, what kind of data brush can make a 70-plus consecutive playoff game, and then a 60-point triple-double?

It is because of this unexpected nature that he doesn’t know how he will perform in the next game, whether he will be super god again, or a super ghost who will hit 60+ iron again.

Well, he has done all these things.

The first game of the finals between the Lakers and the Chicago Bulls was on June 9, and on June 7, the entire Bulls had already arrived and adapted to the field in advance, which is very important.

After the Bulls came to Los Angeles, the atmosphere of the NBA finals also came to its peak!

"I came to Los Angeles again, but the atmosphere seemed a little different this time."

Getting off the bus, Jordan sighed slightly after listening to the crazy booing around him and walked into the hotel with a smile.

The last time I came to Los Angeles to play the finals was in 1991, when he led the team to the finals for the first time. At that time, he and his Bulls came to Los Angeles with a 2-0 score.

The Bulls were a rising emerging team at that time, but what about the Los Angeles Lakers?

It is the old king team.

It was also him who buried the Magicians and the Lakers era with his own hands. At the Lakers' home court, Los Angeles, he won his first NBA championship trophy, and also directly snatched the glory of the first player in the Magicians League.

After that, the magician left the NBA because of the well-known thing, and he officially replaced the magician and became the king of the NBA!

That final between the Bulls and the Lakers was a battle between the old and new kings. He was the new king, and the magician was the old and old king.

So, when he brought his Bulls here that time, the Lakers were actually in a state of twilight aura, including their fans, the same was true.

The dynasty is about to collapse, this is the feeling.

And now, the Bulls met the Lakers again in the finals, and this time, it was still a battle to hand over the kings.

The new king has been replaced by Lin Han of the Lakers, and he and his Bulls have become the old kings.

Although he never felt that his strength would be lost to any NBA player now, from the current media experts and fans' public opinion, if he could defeat the Lakers and Lin Han and win his fourth championship, then he would still be the unquestionable king of the NBA!

However, if you lose to the Lakers in the finals this year, then Lin Han will ascend the throne with the new king!

He does not admit that anyone can be better than him in terms of strength, but he agrees with these people's views.

Because he watched the Lakers' promotion path all the way. It would be a miracle that Lin Han could bring such a Laker to such an extent. If he and his Bulls couldn't even defeat such a Laker, what qualifications would he have to rely on that throne forever?

Besides, he never thought that he was the magician of that year!

The magicians back then were indeed old.

And he is now in his prime!

The Lakers were old back then, but his current Bulls were at their peak!

"Scott is going to respond to Lin Han's provocation again?"

After putting down his luggage, Jordan gathered in the hotel conference room with other Bulls players, and at this time the Bulls did not see Pippen.

No need to guess, he knows what Pippen is doing now.

In fact, he was just like Phil Jackson, who was optimistic about the battle of words between Pippen and Lin Han. Using Scott to disturb Lin Han's emotions and prevent him from preparing for the finals attentively is a very cost-effective deal.

Moreover, the Lakers and Bulls' finals are too popular this year, even far higher than that. In this case, Pippen deliberately provoked a battle of words between himself and Lin Han, which actually requires decompression for other Bulls players, so that other Bulls players, including himself, can prepare for the finals with peace of mind.

Therefore, Pippen provoked Lin Han, which was a conspiracy and an open conspiracy.

If it were Malone and Stockton, they would definitely not have been fooled, but Lin Han...

He was indeed fooled and fell into a war of words with Pippen, and the Magician did not stop at this time. Could it be that the Lakers are really like the Magician said, this is Lin Han's team, and he will do whatever he wants?

If this is true, the Bulls will make a lot of money.

"Hahahaha, Los Angeles is Los Angeles. Although Chicago is not bad, it is still a little different from Los Angeles. This is the case in the city, and the working attitudes of the media and journalists are the same!"

Just as the Bulls were waiting for Pippen, accompanied by a hearty laughter, Pippen walked in and sat next to Jordan.

"What did Lin Han say just now?"

Seeing Pippen so happy and accomplished, not to mention other Bulls players, even Phil Jackson became curious.

Could it be that Pippen has really achieved some good results when he provoked Lin Han?

"That guy was angry at what I said at the airport and actually said he wanted to make a bet with me."

"Betting? What bet?"

"What else can bet? Of course, it's better to see if Michael cuts more points on Rufen's head or he cuts more points on my head?!"

“…”

After Pippen finished speaking excitedly, the entire conference room became awkward, including Jordan sitting next to Pippen.

"Scott, you're not kidding?"

"Did Michael look like I'm joking? I never thought that guy would make such a proposal. What do you think? If you have the next game to bet, he would let Rufen defend Michael alone. If you have the ability, let me defend him alone and see who scored higher in this game between Michael and him! Are you stupid? He actually let the 1.85 rookie come to defend Michael alone? Hahahaha!"

Pippen smiled arrogantly, but after hearing what he said, no one in the conference room would think he was laughing wrong. If it were them, they would probably laugh even happier.

Because Pippen can actually achieve such a great result when he is so excited that Lin Han actually said that he wants Rufen to defend Jordan alone?

Although Ruffin did not perform much in the playoffs this year, he was a rookie after all and was not his stage in the playoffs, in the regular season, Ruffin's performance was actually very good. He was one of the heroes of the Lakers and the best sixth man this year.

But, does this make sense?

The 1.85-meter-long rookie point guard let him defend Jordan alone, I'm afraid that Jordan will be ripped to death!

In the entire NBA, single defense against Jordan was a bad choice, and it was a short rookie like Rufen to single defense against Jordan. Isn’t this already stupid? What is going to commit suicide?

"Everyone doesn't have to worry about what Lin Han said. With his cunning personality, maybe this is just a smoke bomb, and he wants to disrupt our pre-match arrangement."

"Don't worry, Phil, I've thought of this a long time ago, so I'll admit it from those reporters. In the next game, as long as the Lakers dare to let Ruffin defend Michael alone, we Bulls will be the only one defender Lin Han. Whoever is cowardly will be the mouse! Anyway, we won't lose money. If he is really cowardly, I can squirt him to death!"

Pippen is really excited now. How much has he suffered in the regular season competition with Lin Han in the past two years?

Now that it is the finals and the biggest stage, he can finally return all the anger he received from him!

This guy thought he would be invincible if he defeated Olajuwon and the others? He was so arrogant?

I dare to say that my defense is the same as Ruffin, but I can't defend him anyway. What is the difference between defense 99 and defense 0?

If his offense is really powerful to the point where he is even stronger than Jordan, of course there is no difference, but is this guy's offense really powerful to that extent?
