In the NBA, there was such a team that was always resentful by other teams at that time, that was the Celtics during the Lord of the Rings Russell. At that time, they won 11 championships in 13 seasons, including a terrifying eight consecutive championships. At that time, the All-Stars were sitting on the bench of the Kai team...

If you have to find a team comparable to it in NBA history, it will undoubtedly be the Los Angeles Lakers in the 2003-04 period.[]

In the 2003-04 season, the Lakers had four players who made any team covet.

"The Big Shark" Shaquille O'Neal, the most dominant center in the league at that time, was destined to be in the "Hall of Fame".

"Peter Pan" Kobe Bryant, the person closest to Jordan in the post-Jordan era.

"Postman" Carl Malone, Duncan's greatest power forward, has a tough guy image that has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The black and white double evil spirits formed by him and Stockton make the Jazz a super strong team.

He was selected for the All-Star Game 11 times in a row (1988-1998), was selected for the first team of the best team of the best team (1988-89 to 1998-99), three consecutive times in the best team of the best team of the best team of the best team of the best team of the best team of the best team of the best team of the best team of the best team of the best team (1996-97 to 1998-99), two regular season mvp (1996-97, 1998-99), and two All-MVP (1989, 1993). He ranked second in the league's total scoring list and sixth in the total rebounding list.

"Gloves" Gary Payton was selected as the NBA's best team of the year twice (1998, 2000); was selected as the NBA's first defense team of the year for eight consecutive seasons (1994-2001); was elected as the best defender in the league in 1996 (it is worth mentioning that this is the first defender player to win this honor since Jordan in the 1987-88 season.); the only player to win the best defender as a PG, the steal king, limit MJ's lowest score per game in the finals, and the famous nickname - Gloves. All this proves how excellent his defense is. To put it simply, we can completely think that GP's defense is textbook-style for every PG.

He has been selected into the All-Star lineup for seven consecutive years, with two starts. He became the 88th player in NBA history to score more than 15,000 points; and became the 8th player in NBA history - scoring more than 15,000 points, assists more than 6,000 steals and more than 1,000 steals.

The Lakers, with such brilliant stars, showed their strong combat power at the beginning of the season, defeating the Dallas Mavericks 109:93, defeating the Golden State Warriors 87:72, defeating the Milwaukee Bucks 113:107, defeating the Phoenix Suns 103:99, and won the Phoenix Suns in one round, and occupied the top ranks in the league.

Now, with the power of winning streak, going to San Antonio in a fierce manner. Whether it can avenge the last playoffs last year has become the center of heated discussions in the entire league. Before the game started, major media have reported on and predicted the final result. Lakers players' remarks about this game have also appeared frequently in many magazines and newspapers.

The Spurs did not escape the media's siege. Although **Vic issued a ban order before the game, the remarks of Spurs players were inevitably seen.

Because of their excellent performance against the Grizzlies, Chamberlain has been repeatedly harassed by the media recently. When they asked about their views on this game, Chamberlain, who had no experience in fighting, could not stand their endless inquiries and shouted angrily, "We will definitely win."

OK! Forgive this poor child!

"Say no to O'Neal, the Spurs rookie said they will definitely win", "The Spurs ignore f4, victory must belong to us", "The Admiral retires, and I will hold up the Spurs' inside line"...

The battle was indeed provoked by the powerful media, whether inside the team or outside the team. Another round of public opinion war began, and the atmosphere of gunpowder before the game became more and more intense.

As time gets closer, the head coaches of both sides who are also very concerned about this game are sitting on the final tactical arrangements before the game.

NBA local time, on November 6, 2003, SBC Center, less than an hour before the game, fans have entered the game early.

Based on the feud between the Lakers and the Spurs, the league also broadcasts the game globally. ** TV's ace commentator - Kenyon Smith, OK! Don't forget our "Space Fliggy" Charles Barkley at important moments, he will partner with Smith as commentator.

In the locker room at home, a group of stuffy cans made it seem like another world. Chamberlain was sitting there in a daze. "Zhang, you have a genius mind, you should understand what you should do today, right?" This is what **Vicci said to Chamberlain alone in the morning.

How should he do it? Of course Chamberlain understood. But O'Neal is really not comparable to Yao Ming now. The more he understands the league, the more he understands O'Neal's terror. He thought he was mentally prepared a long time ago, but at this moment his nervous heart kept telling him that he was afraid, fearing the arrival of this moment.

The game started before Chamberlain defeated himself!

The first thing that came on the stage was the Lakers with extremely dazzling lineups in the audience.

Lakers: Gary Payton, Kobe Bryant, Devin George, Carl Malone, Shaquille O'Neal.

Next is the home team Spurs. The lighting engineer used his most perfect skills to highlight the extraordinaryness of the players on the field, and the cheers of the audience reached their peak with the new king Duncan's appearance.

Spurs: Parker, Ginobili, Bowen, Duncan, Nestrovic.

The referee blew the whistle to start the game...

Barkley and Smith in the comment seat also began to brag and spank...
