Godfather of the NBA: Cutting Curry and creating a dynasty

Will the Clippers become the first team to win four consecutive championships since the merger of nba and aba?

Not only the media and fans are considering this question, but Yang Li also really wants to know the answer to this question.

You know, it is not a simple matter for a team to complete four consecutive championships.

Since the merger of the NBA and the ABA, only two teams have been able to achieve a three-peat.

One is the Chicago Bulls led by Jordan. They completed two three-peats in 91-93 and 96-98!

Another team that won three consecutive championships is the Los Angeles Lakers led by the ok combination. They completed three consecutive championships in 00-02.

As for the four consecutive championships, maybe if Jordan didn't retire for the first time, he might get it.

But the ok combination has proved with practical actions that they do not have the ability to win four consecutive championships.

After winning the championship in 02, the conflict between Kobe and O'Neal began to intensify.

After the Lakers completed three consecutive championships, O'Neal has won the finals mvp trophy three times in a row.

The honor of three consecutive championships + three consecutive fmvp is enough to make him a level comparable to Jordan, Magician, Bird, Skyhook and other historical leaders.

Therefore, at this time, the big shark is not so eager to win the game.

Since the offseason, the Sharks have indulged, especially the management of their body.

This also causes his body to have problems from time to time, and at the age of 30 at this time, he should be at his peak.

In the regular season of the 02-03 season, he played on and off, and it was difficult to maintain a healthy state.

As for Kobe, he has just started to enter the peak, is in the ascendant period of his career.

During the three consecutive championships, he gradually flourished under the protection of O'Neal. At this time, he, oh no, his entire career has a competitive heart.

Moreover, his competitive spirit has not diminished in the slightest because of his accomplishment of three consecutive championships.

In addition to the past three championships, he has not won fmvp once.

Therefore, Kobe still needs to continue to win the championship and win fmvp to prove himself.

There is a huge contrast between O'Neal's indulgence and Kobe's aggressiveness.

And because of O'Neal, other players in the team also slacked off.

Of course, the reason is not only because of O'Neal, the Lakers' salary structure is very unbalanced.

Most of the salary in the team was taken by Kobe and O'Neal, and others could only get a salary slightly higher than the basic salary or even the basic salary of veterans.

In today's terms, why should I take the money from selling flour and worry about selling white powder?

In the end, the Lakers in this game only achieved a record of 50 wins and 32 losses in the regular season.

Ranked fifth in the West, lost the most important home court advantage in the playoffs.

They narrowly eliminated the Minnesota Timberwolves led by Kevin Garnett in the first round.

But in the second round, they met the San Antonio Spurs.

This year's Spurs core Tim Duncan is at his peak, and the Spurs are a well-trained iron army under the leadership of coach Popovich.

Facing a distracted Lakers team, the Spurs did not give the Lakers any more chances after they narrowly beat the Lakers 96:94 to take Tianwangshan.

In the sixth game, the Spurs beat their opponents by 28 points directly at the Lakers' home stadium Staples Center!
