Chương 102: BAB 101

After the timeout, Michael Udin's free throw scores the points for the Los Angeles Lakers!

With Michael Udin on the court, the Los Angeles Lakers fully took the initiative. The Los Angeles Lakers' punch in the interior made the Miami Heat very uncomfortable. When the opponent's small forward position is weak, sending Michael Udin to third place will also make the Los Angeles Lakers team's normal operation in the future.

In the end, the Los Angeles Lakers snatched a shock victory over the tough Miami Heat at home.

Alonzo Mourning and Shaquille O'Neal both scored 30+10, but Michael Udin's 22 points made the Los Angeles Lakers happy!

After this battle, the Los Angeles Lakers won 27 wins and 9 losses, firmly occupying fourth place in the Western Conference. After Robert Horry joined the team, the team's momentum grew even stronger!

On January 14, the Los Angeles Lakers continued to play at home against the Vancouver Grizzlies. Robert Horry's debut was quite satisfying. After the actual battle test, he and Michael Udin not only did not have a positional conflict, but they had an excellent chemical reaction!

The final lineup of the season has been finalized, and the Los Angeles Lakers will also be using this lineup to attack the highest goal!

In the match against the Sacramento Kings, Shaquille O'Neal suffered an injury, but after resting for some time, he was able to return to play.

On February 3, after the Los Angeles Lakers beat Washington 111–99 by a 12-point margin, Shaquille O'Neal developed discomfort in his right knee. After diagnosis by a team of doctors, Shaq's pain was caused by tension.

Just as All-Star weekend arrived, after Shaquille O'Neal himself and the team had negotiated, he decided to give up his initial 1996-1997 All-Star status.

Shaquille O'Neal gave up on results this season.

Before the start of All-Star Weekend, the Los Angeles Lakers had two opponents, one being city rivals the Los Angeles Clippers, and the other team being the national enemy of the Chicago Bulls!

Shaq's knee injury was nothing to him, but other players looked concerned, and this sentiment spread to games with the Los Angeles Clippers.

Throughout the game, the Lakers players looked a little dazed, and in the end they also managed to beat their "away" opponents.

Shaquille O'Neal who watched from the sidelines gave an important speech after the match, who did not want the team not to play without him.

The most important thing is that after Shaq explained the true situation of the injury in public, the other talents breathed a sigh of relief and relief.

Prior to the All-Star break, the Los Angeles Lakers had their last remaining opponent, and that was the Chicago Bulls!

With the Sharks absent, no one is optimistic about the Los Angeles Lakers' prospects in this game, but the Lakers are without any worries wanting to show something different in this game.

After beating the Los Angeles Clippers hard, everyone is hoping to prove themselves in a focused battle with the Chicago Bulls.

Meeting again, the Chicago Bulls and the previous battle lineup have also undergone some changes, Tony Kukoc has been adjusted to the starting lineup, and Luc Longley has returned from injury.

The reason Phil Jackson arranged for Tony Kukoc to return to the starting lineup was because Dennis Rodman was out. He has not played since January 14 against the Rockets.

The second was because the Chicago Bulls starting line-up put too much pressure on Michael Jordan and Scott Pippen, and the sixth-best player started early, who could share certain offensive responsibilities for these two aces.

This way, Michael Jordan and Scott Pippen can also find the touch early. After all, how to maintain the will to win a four-time champion team is a lofty goal.

The game will still be broadcast to the United States. After all, no one can predict Shark's sudden injury.

The Chicago Bulls started the match with center Luc Longley, power forward Tony Kukoc, small forward Scott Pippen, shooting guard Michael Jordan and point guard Ron Harper.

Responding to the opposing line-up, Coach Delmar Harris fielded Michael Udin as a starter in fifth position, Elden Campbell and Robert Horry paired with the striker, and Kobe and Nick Van Exel as guards.

At this time, coach Delmar Harris played such a combination card, fully testing the compatibility of this lineup.

At the beginning of the game, Michael Udin, who insisted on training with Robin, easily won the jump ball, in his eyes, the big white bear like Luc Longley is really a bit slow!

As the starting center, Michael Udin will act like a center, he immediately pushes Luke Langli to the low post!

The Great Shark Imitation Show by Michael Udin.

Michael Udin wants the ball behind his back!

Nothing can be said about Luc Longley being ruined by a super center like Shaquille O'Neal, but the newcomer still wants to eat himself, which makes Luc Longley's face a little unbearable!

But the audience was happy to see this kind of thing, and everyone made fun of it!

Michael Udin put his strength on his back, but Luc Langli, who is 2.18 meters tall. Dan weighs 120 kilograms, not what he can shake at the moment, but he still needs to do what he has to do as a centre-forward.

Michael Udin can't get into the basket all the time, but Nick Van Exel has started hitting the blanks there!

At first, the attention of the players on both sides was very concentrated. Of course, Ron Harper couldn't let that crazy Van Exel easily cut through the basket!

Elden Campbell set up an ambush midway, pick-and-roll paving a smooth route for Nick Van Exel!

When the ball came, Michael Udin hit the ball from behind, and Nick Van Exel made an easy layup!

Luc Langley had yet to vent his strength, but Michael Udin had retreated!

The beautiful combination of passing and cutting gave the Los Angeles Lakers a great start, Michael Udin and Nick Van Exel giving high-fives to celebrate!

Los Angeles Lakers defend themselves

On the other hand Kobe will completely transform into another person after seeing Michael Jordan.

Michael Jordan's white eyes also showed his appreciation for Kobe, but Kobe didn't even have the heart to look his opponent in the eye.

Michael Jordan, who played hard in the final game, wanted to teach Kobe a lesson in one day, but he still underestimated Kobe's defensive ability.

Michael Jordan plays in a low position. After several months of anger, Kobe's strength and defensive skills have made a gradual leap forward!

However, in the Los Angeles Lakers starting lineup, the task still stands.

Although Michael Jordan was able to finish his shot easily, Kobe's defense did not lose the position at all, but Michael Jordan's shot missed!

Of course, Michael Jordan has endured too much resistance at a much better defender than Kobe, and he can cut through his opponents, but he often loses accuracy when he plays against the Lakers!
