Now that the division finals have reached this point, the Warriors and the Cavaliers have won the match points one after another, and the situation in the finals has basically been clear.

The American gambling industry is extremely developed. The Las Vegas Golden Empire Gambling Industry gave the championship odds of four teams, of which the Warriors lost 95 for l, while the Cavaliers won the championship odds of l, 205 for l.

In addition, the Lakers' odds are l-pay 2, while the Magic, which has been forced to the edge of the cliff by the Cavaliers, is only l-pay 2.

The most dangerous situation is the Magic Team. Bl has already set the Magic on the pillar of shame in history, but they have not given up.

Compared with a year ago, after they lost the classic pick-and-roll of Turkish Magician Tekglu, the Magic team upgraded the team building concept of "inside deterrent Bu Wei Shooter" to the top level of the league. This year's Magic's success depends on Howard's inside dominance, but the external performance situation is reflected in the terrifying firepower attack of the peripheral shooter group.

Today's Magic has concentrated five line shooters with three-point shooting percentages of more than 37%, but Carter's poor performance in the playoffs left their lives hanging on the line. Whether they can create miracles depends on how confident the Orlando people are.

What makes Lakers fans is the odds given to them by bookmakers, l-reimbursement 2. In other words, bookmakers don't believe that the Lakers can eliminate the Warriors because if they can enter the finals, they will definitely be the championship.

According to the latest championship odds drawn by the Australian lottery, the Lakers lost 95 for l, while the Celtics' odds were l and 205 for the championship odds. In addition, the Lakers' opponent Suns' odds were l and 2, while the Magic, which had been forced to the edge of the cliff by the Celtics, was only l and 2.

The Cavaliers' lineup configuration has always been directed to teams like the Lakers and Magic, which have excellent forward height and rich and changeable tactics. The game against the Magic has also proved this. They do have a set of ways to deal with high forward groups.

However, if the Cavaliers and the Lakers really meet in the final, no one believes that the Cavaliers can win. Gasol and Bynum have excellent athleticity, and the Sharks' restraint on the two is not as strong as they imagined.

And at this time Kobe's role will be fully reflected. Although he is still troubled by finger injuries, Kobe, who plays the role of team tandem, is even more terrifying than a simple scorer:

Just like in the first two games with the Warriors, although the decline in scoring is exchanged for balanced coordination on the offensive end of the team, when Gasol and Bynum are restricted by the opponent's joint defense, he can still disrupt the opponent's formation through his own breakthrough and create opportunities for his teammates.

The problem now is that if the Lakers want to show their talents in the finals, they will lose to the Warriors.

The bookmaker doesn't believe that the Lakers can win. In the last game, except Kobe, everyone in the Lakers team lost their fighting spirit. How could a team without the belief in fighting have the possibility of winning the battle?

Lakers fans put their expectations on their home game. In the sixth game, both sides moved to Staples Arena again. Kobe had completed the final victory there before. It is very likely that they would create miracles again here.

Of course, bookmakers never believe in miracles. Although the gambling industry is the place where miracles are the most, the big guys in the gambling industry believe in probability the most.

With the remaining two games, the Warriors can advance if they win one game, and the Lakers must have two games. Which one do you think has a higher probability?

Lakers fans tried their best to support the team. They agreed to enter the game before the game in a purple and gold jersey, recreating the style of the Purple and Gold Dynasty in the 1980s and 1990s.

The Lakers provide free jerseys for fans, and each jersey has a sentence written on it. People are eliminated at home. Obviously, this is putting pressure on the players. You can lose, but you must not lose at home. You must go back to play the seventh game.

In addition, the Lakers also invited veterans from the Purple and Gold Legion, such as Jabbar, Magician, Baylor, Cobra Percy, Gad Goodridge, Jamal Wilkes, and other famous veterans to play.

This time, the Lakers really invested a lot. Old Bass is in serious condition. Lakers' senior management hopes that the team can give Old Bass a wish. His body has been dragged down by cancer. Old Bass has been holding on, but there are two things that cannot be let go:

First, Kobe has not led the team to win the championship himself, and second, his children are fighting openly and secretly. He does not want the carefully created Lakers to decline after he dies.

On June 1st, the day before the game, the Lakers erected a second bronze statue outside the Staples Center. This is the second bronze statue in front of the stadium. Previously, only Magic Johnson enjoyed this glory, and even the Sky Hook Jabbar and HGO man West did not have this treatment.

The newly established bronze statue master is named Chick Hearn. This person is a legendary commentator of the Lakers. He is officially hailed as "Voice of the Lakers" by fans and the league. In Hearn's live broadcast career for more than 40 years, he has created modern common words such as "slam dunk", "aerial contact", and "triple double". His passionate and humorous commentary has also become the most unique landscape of the Lakers.

Hearn unfortunately passed away in two years. In order to commemorate his contribution to the Lakers and even the entire NH, the Lakers held a jersey retirement ceremony for him. Now there is a jersey without numbers floating above the Lakers' gymnasium. The jersey is a classic purple gold style from the 1980s, and it is also the golden stage of Chick Hearn's commentary career.

When the Warriors players appeared, the LE display screen above the stadium was playing the history of the Lakers full of glory. The winning scenes were played one by one from above, and super stars such as Magic continued to appear, fully demonstrating the foundation that only a giant team had.

Chamberlain was quite envious of his eyes. He walked to the sidelines and pointed at the big screen and said, "Guys, we have to come on. I hope twenty years later, when our team explains the team's history, there will be so many trophies and glory."

A rough voice sounded and said contemptuously: "Dream, boy, it's God's kindness to win the championship in your country team once, and you still want to copy the glory of the Purple and Gold Legion? It's just a dream. I bet that our team will definitely lose you today. Don't think that you won one or two games and think that you are too great."

Chamberlain turned his head in shock and saw a strong black middle-aged man in his fifties looking at him contemptuously.

They are all in the circle, and Chamberlain recognized who this person was at a glance. This is a meritorious veteran of the Lakers, named Jamal Wilkes.

Jamal Wilkes is famous for his masters. When he was in college at HCLAl, he was named the best player in the United States and twice won the NCAA Finals. In the 1975 NHA Finals, as a rookie, he helped the Warriors win the only championship in the team's history. Later, he was also one of the important members of the "Show Moment" of the Lakers, helping the Purple and Gold Dynasty to the top three times in the 1980s.

Although Plain Wilkes' low-key style of playing is not the favorite of fans, it does not hinder his greatness.

During his time with the Lakers from 1977 to 192, Wilkes helped the Lakers win three championships, and his 106l points ranked tenth in the scoring list in the Lakers' history, and 706 steals ranked ninth in the team history. Due to his soft shooting feel, Lakers legend commentator Chick Hearn gave Wilkes the nickname "SIIk" (Silk) and called his outside jump shot "2-foot layup."

As a hero of a team, I feel uncomfortable when I see my team being ravaged. It is acceptable to complain. Chamberlain doesn't care about this. He is not sensitive yet and cannot accept the opponent's accusations.

What made Chamberlain angry was that Wilkes was half a Warriors. He was selected by the Warriors in the first round of the 10th round in the 1974 draft, and started his career with the scoring champion Rick Barry. In his rookie season, he averaged 14.2 points and B2 rebounds per game.

That season was the most legendary season for the Warriors, and it was even more than last season Chamberlain led the team to win the championship. That team only started to get on track in the middle of the season and finally achieved 48 regular season victories, which did not attract enough attention from the league.

The Warriors' playoff journey was quite difficult, narrowly defeating the Seattle Supersonics and the Chicago Bulls in the first two rounds respectively. The finals' opponent was the Washington Bullets, which won 6 wins in the regular season. Surprisingly, the Warriors swept their opponents with Park in the finals and became the largest dark horse champion in NHA history.

Wilkes was a hero of the Warriors at that time. Now he can still see his photos in the Warriors' honor room.

But at this moment, the real Lakers, such as Magic Johnson and Baylor, have not said anything, and Wilkes, a hybrid of the Warriors and the Lakers, actually jumped out, so Chamberlain naturally would not be happy.

So he rolled his eyelids and looked at Wilkes carelessly and asked casually: "Who is this old man? I don't seem to know him."

West shook his head and said, "Who knows where he popped out, I don't know him either."

Hill smiled and said, "This is Mr. Wilkes, one of the superstars in Lakers' history."

Chamberlain nodded and asked, "He is a superstar? Isn't that a meritorious player of the Lakers?"

Hill said: "Of course."

Chamberlain looked at the retired jersey hanging above the stadium in confusion, then looked at Wilkes, and asked: "Why did the meritorious players not retired jerseys? Look, Los Angeles people have given their commentators retired jerseys, which shows that their retired jersey standards are not high, why doesn't this guy retired jerseys?"

After hearing this, Wilkes's face suddenly turned purple, which was the pain in his heart.

Speaking of which, Wilkes is indeed a famous star in Lakers' history. He averaged 17.7 points, 62 rebounds and 26 assists in his two-year career. He has 4 championship rings. Except for his first championship with the Warriors in 1977, the other three rings were earned by the Lakers. He is one of the important members of the "TtI" Lakers era.

However, the Lakers did not retire the jersey for him. Although there have been news that the Lakers were planning to retire the jersey for him, this action has not been implemented.

Chamberlain was in a position of power and asked again: "It's nothing if he didn't retire his jersey. Then when will he be inducted into the Hall of Fame when will he be inducted into the Hall of Fame?"

Wilkes was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood, which was another pain in his heart. So far, he has not been inducted into the Hall of Fame. Although the magician has been his introducer and submitted his application list to the Hall of Fame, he has not been admitted to the Hall of Fame.

After saying this, Chamberlain was not planning to let Wilkens go. He said disdainfully: "Old sir, you should be low-key. You don't have the fate of a celebrity, you have the disease of a celebrity."

Elgin Baylor next to him was also very angry. Seeing his old friend being insulted by Chamberlain's junior, he couldn't stand it anymore, and stood up with a cold face and said, "Boy, I think you are more awesome than Jordan. Even when Jordan faces Wilkes, he was not as arrogant as you. You should thank you for having a good era. If time goes back thirty years, a guy like you can't even eat in the league."

Baylor's jersey has retired and entered the Hall of Fame and is still one of the top 50 stars. He wants to see how Chamberlain is the best match for him.

As a result, Chamberlain laughed. He glanced at Mr. Baylor with disdain, turned his head and said lazily: "I don't talk to someone who has never won the championship, and I will reduce my value."

This sentence is even more vicious than all the previous words. Master Beile wished he could go up and find a brick to kill Zhang Bo five hundred times.

Baylor is also one of the most powerful men in the history of the Lakers. On 15th of 196, Baylor scored 71 points in a game against the Knicks, which was the Lakers' team record at that time. It was not until the previous two years that he was broken by Kobe's Bl points.

Two years later, on April 14, Baylor scored 6l points in the finals with the Celtics, and is still an NHA historical record.

Although the Lakers have had superstars such as Chamberlain, Jabbar, and O'Neal in history, Baylor ranked first in team history with 1146 rebounds, and was selected into the All-Star lineup for 10 times in his professional career and 10 times in the league's best team.

The only regret is that Baylor never won the championship in his life. He retired due to injury shortly after the 1971-192 season. As a result, the Lakers, who have not won the championship for ten years, won the championship that year.
