On the evening of December 31, the Salt Lake City Delta Center Stadium was very lively.

Today, here, the Jazz, who plays at home, faces the challenge of the Los Angeles Lakers.

Today is the last day of this century. After today, it is the new century, the 21st century.

And today's game can be said to be a true battle of the century.

Before the start of this game, the Lakers had been in the top spot in the West and in the league for more than a month.

Under the guidance of Phil Jackson's triangular offense, the chemistry of the Ok combination became more intense, and the top name exerted unimaginable energy.

The Lakers' strongest point is O'Neal, who played an MVP-level performance in the interior. In this league, no one can stop O'Neal who is rushing around. The title of the No. 1 center in the league and even the No. 1 center in history has been added to him. In the current MVP rankings, O'Neal has surpassed Carl Malone and has become the No. 1.

Kobe gave O'Neal enough firepower support from the outside. Kobe, who was only 21 years old, became more confident under the training of Phil Jackson. He became more confident and became more outstanding. He is O'Neal's most capable assistant.

Under the strong impact of the ok combination on young people, many teams in the league that sharpened their swords could not withstand the destruction and could only drink hatred on the spot.

The Jazz are currently ranked third in the West, behind the Lakers, and behind the second-place Trail Blazers.

The current jazz is really old.

Although the Jazz are the defending champion, it is obvious this season that the Jazz are really old.

In the 1997-98 season, the league proposed to set up a reasonable collision zone and began to encourage offense, many young teams in the league began to accelerate and began to increase their offensive rhythm.

However, the Jazz are still playing their own slow-paced basketball, and they are still living in the old ideas of the 20th century. The Jazz are no longer able to keep up with others' speed.

Although the offense won the audience and the defense won the championship, the Jazz seemed to be a little behind.

Today, at the Jazz's home court, this is the last struggle of the old group.

.

"NBC TV, NBC TV, dear audiences, good evening, welcome to watch the last battle of the 20th century, against the defending champions of both sides of the Utah Jazz, and the Los Angeles Lakers. I am an NBA commentator, Groom Albert."

"Hello everyone, I'm Matt Gokas,"

"Hello everyone, I'm Bill Walton."

nbc TV also attached great importance to this game and arranged three ace commentators to appear on the scene.

The three old men stood on the sidelines with smiles, making pre-match analysis in front of the camera.

Basketball Voice Groom Albert started gently:

"Today's game is full of highlights. Shaq and Carl's MVP battle, Kobe's strongest rookie battle with Ray, and the conversation between Phil Jackson and Jerry Sloan. Phil Jackson's team lost to the Jazz in two years of finals. This is his first visit to Salt Lake City by leading a new team. The Ok combination has been unable to move forward in the playoffs before. The victim who blocked their progress is the Jazz. The Jazz has been caught in the 'ball rights' issue recently, the 'key ball' issue, and there are constant topics between Carl Malone and Ray. Who will shoot the Jazz's key ball today?... This game has not started yet, but it is destined to be exciting. Two, do you have anything to say about today's game?"

Gokas was ahead of him.

"This is the first time Phil Jackson has appeared in Salt Lake City after leading the Lakers. This is a revenge for Phil Jackson. He drank hatred twice in the center of the Delta, and Phil must be full of hatred. I believe that he will definitely make the Jazz comeback at a heavy price today. The Lakers' triangular offense in the new season was particularly outstanding, especially O'Neal. After two seasons in the reasonable collision zone, we finally discovered its 'reason's' point. That is completely taking care of Shaq. With Shaq in the inside, it is difficult for the entire league to have an opponent to fight against him. So, today's game, the Lakers will definitely win. Even this year's finals, I am optimistic about the Lakers."

Bill Walton next to him has his own opinion.

"I think the Jazz still won the Jazz. The Jazz lost a lot of games this season, but they all lost away. At home, the Jazz will not lose to any opponent. This year, the Jazz won 14 and 2 home games, only losing two games. This is the Jazz's devil's home court. Even the Lakers, who are the top Lakers in the league, are afraid of being unrestrained here. Moreover, the Jazz are the Lakers' miserables. In the previous seasons, the Jazz eliminated the Lakers. The Jazz are Tianke Lakers."

"Bill, your data may be a bit wrong. The Jazz wins the Lakers in the playoffs. In the regular season, the Lakers have the advantage of the record of the two teams. Moreover, in December, the Jazz lost a lot of goals. When facing the Western Conference strong teams, the Jazz lost more than they won. Judging from the Jazz's recent state, today's game, the Lakers have a greater chance of winning."

Bill Walton wanted to say something in refutation, but the old groom took the lead.

"Okay, okay, you both make a lot of sense. Under the leadership of Phil, the Lakers played a perfect triangle attack. Under the guidance of the Jazz Sloan, the Black and White Double Demons and Ray's Iron Blood Legion will be launched. Today will be a wonderful game. Then, the time is almost over. Next, let's welcome today's protagonists."

The lights at the scene dimmed, and Lakers players came on the court in booing.

Although O'Neal and Kobe are very popular, this is Salt Lake City, which is the home court of the champion Jazz, and fans will not give any opponents face.

"The ones entering the game below are our Jazz players."

"oh!!!!"

After two consecutive championships, the Jazz's home attendance rate is already comparable to that of the Chicago Bulls.

At the home court full of 20,000 people, Jazz fans sent warm cheers to the home team members.

When the Jazz main players entered the field, the shouts at the scene were so loud that they were about to explode.

The players on both sides shook hands and greeted each other.

The opposite of Dai Fei is Kobe.

Without any communication of words, the two of them just laughed.

laugh!

This is Kobe who still has hair, and his smile is very confident.

Just like he was confident in challenging Jordan in a rookie season, Kobe's self-confidence is really strong.

Moreover, this season, after the Lakers changed their head coach, they rushed to the top of the league.

Not only O'Neal, who is the top MVP list, is confident and domineering, Kobe, the self-conceived second-in-commander of the Lakers, is also more confident.

Dai Fei smiled back.

Kobe on the 8th, he actually played harder than Kobe on the 24th, and all kinds of explosive goals were happening on the 8th.

Facing Kobe with a talented talent, Dai Fei nodded with a smile.

Although this is Kobe, Dai Fei has long since disappeared from the excitement he had when he saw him for the first time

Kobe is Kobe, and it’s just Kobe!

I am Dai Fei, I am not afraid of anyone!

Kobe has his own confidence, and Dai Fei, who won two championships, is even more so.

‘Today, I want to win!’

The players entered the court one after another, and the three old men also moved from the sidelines to the commentator seat.

When the players on both sides began to warm up, the big screen on the scene also focused their attention on the celebrities on the sidelines.

"Today's game has attracted much attention because everyone knows that this is the last game to bid farewell to the 20th century. We saw that there were many celebrities coming today. On the sidelines, this is the mayor of Salt Lake City, and all the people around us are senior officials from the government. Today, the politicians will also witness this battle of the century with us and bid farewell to the 20th century that is about to pass away. Oh, cheers are starting, this is our Jack Leonardo DiCaprio and our Rosket Winslet. Seeing these two people appear, I couldn't help but think of the beautiful love story on the Titanic. This is the boxing champion Tyson and his female companion, this is the singer... This is the famous actor..."

It wouldn't be surprising if these celebrities appeared in Staples, home court in the Lakers' Los Angeles, but this is Salt Lake City!

So many celebrities have added a lot of glory to the game.

He introduced the celebrities and socialites everywhere on the scene, but groom Albert found a pair of golden boys and jade girls on the sidelines who were in love with each other.

"Oh, we see that Ray's girlfriend Abby Hornersek also came to the scene today. In the sky blue long dress, Abby is really beautiful today. Thanks to her and many Hollywood stars on the scene for dressing so beautifully for us in the cold winter. Of course, today, the last day of the 20th century, this is a very meaningful day. The young couple made an appointment to spend together, and believe that this has good wishes for their future. Bless them and bless this pair of golden boys and jade girls."

Matt Gokas was sharp-eyed.

"Hahaha, I found that Kobe Bryant gave a look at the ray here, and he seemed to be jealous. Hahaha, it's indeed a young man."

Bill Walton quietly revealed, "It is said that Kobe seems to be single to this day."

Gaokas began to protect Kobe, boasting and said, "There is no way. Kobe is really a kid who loves basketball too much. In his world, there is only basketball. It is said that Kobe lacks life skills and is always taken care of by his mother. He devotes most of his time to basketball."

…

While the three old men on the sidelines were laughing, Kobe on the field curled his lips disdainfully at some of the two of them who were in front of everyone else's eyes.

Although that girl is really tall, beautiful, beautiful, and beautiful, and Kobe is a little jealous of someone, he will not admit it.

After turning around, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

‘It’s still my Vanessa looks good, no one can compare to my baby!’

Lakers starters: Ron Harper, Kobe Bryant, Glenn Rice, Ac Green, Shaquille O'Neal

Jazz starters: Stockton, Dai Fei, Russell, Malone, Alden Polynes

Beep!

With a whistle, the game began.

At the beginning, the Lakers' play style was very clear.

O'Neal!

The strongest point, O'Neal!

This is the triangle attack, dig with the strongest points, and use my sharpest spear to continuously pierce your defense until you defeated you!

When O'Neal got the ball from the wing, he saw that there was only one defender beside him, so he was not polite.

Turn around!

O'Neal was tall and strong, but he was really too flexible.

Alden Polynis is no match for O'Neal at all.

There is no speed, and the strength is even worse.

He turned around and just took this step and went straight into the basket.

Jumped up.

boom!

Hang the basket with both hands and pull it straight into a shaky way.
