Chapter 948: 310: Admit it, you are living in my era! (Requesting monthly votes!)_3Shaq controlled his temper and didn’t get up to beat Kobe. Instead, he deliberately responded loudly: "Some people always fancy themselves the team leader. One moment they demand teammates to dominate the paint, the next moment they demand teammates to dominate on defense. One moment they want teammates to grab rebounds, the next they want them to have high shooting percentages. So let me ask, once your teammates have dominated everything, what’s left for you as the leader to do? Complain with your hands open?" For some reason, O’Neal thought of Roger again. Roger would never blame you when you’ve given your all, never! In fact, Roger never blamed anyone when they lost; he would only blame himself. Five years ago, Shaq actually thought Kobe was a better person than Roger. He thought he must have been blind back then! O’Neal really didn’t expect that the longer you stay outside, the more you feel Roger’s greatness. Beside him, Grant Hill listened to the argument between the two, thinking that everything was ruined. When Shaq gave his all and still couldn’t change the Lakers’ defense, the situation only became very tough. But when the false peace created by Grant Hill only lasted two games before it unraveled, what the Lakers faced was not just hardship. But death! The next three home games in Los Angeles, can they really turn the tide? Grant Hill sighed, feeling very uncertain. He now admits the words of "Sports Illustrated," realizing he’s far from solving all the problems. The next day at noon, Roger and his teammates flew to Los Angeles. As the plane took off, Roger leaned on the small round window, looking at the scenery he had seen countless times over the past five years. Beside him, Paul Pierce chuckled: "What, you dropped a coin down there? Did you find it?" Roger leaned back in his chair: "Paul, if you had learned to be this humorous earlier, you wouldn’t have been stabbed 13 times that day." "Without being stabbed 13 times, how would Shaq enjoy that earthly delicacy? Everything is a magical arrangement of fate." Roger deliberately put on a serious expression: "Damn, we’ve played three finals against the Lakers for three years! And in the end, the most impressive moment we’ve contributed is still your extreme outbreak. I really don’t know whether to be happy or ashamed about it!" Roger and Pierce chatted and laughed about other topics, so Roger didn’t tell Pierce that the reason he was looking down so seriously was that this was probably his last time as Atlanta’s Savior, departing from his territory to conquer the away court. If that’s the case, then let’s bring back a beautiful victory, this is the last gift Roger will bring back to Atlanta! In Game 3 of the series, all of the Los Angeles Lakers’ championship fantasies were shattered. Phil Jackson’s Triangle Offense turned into waste paper because Kobe and O’Neal refused to cooperate, making it impossible for the Lakers to execute their tactics. Kobe was like a madman attempting various difficult jump shots, and Shaq hardly passed the ball to Kobe amidst double-teams; they were practically fighting their own battles. For the Lakers’ role players, this finals experience was a nightmare. Their core players weren’t focused on beating others but were in a fierce battle with each other, resulting in the team being badly beaten. Even though the score was gradually widening, there was no sign of reconciliation between Kobe and O’Neal. In the last half of the game, Kobe still did things his own way, trying to save the team single-handedly. This resulted in Shaquille O’Neal not getting a single shot opportunity in that half. That number 8 continued with the shots that made everyone’s blood pressure skyrocket, lowering the shooting percentage further and widening the score gap. The Hawks took Game 3 effortlessly. Marv Albert was greatly disappointed; upon seeing the Lakers win the first game, he thought OK would give everything for victory in dire situations. But now? They haven’t changed at all. Was Roger just lucky to have encountered a team on the brink of collapse? No, this was to tell the world: If you cannot lead your locker room like a real leader, you don’t deserve to win! If you can’t even dominate the locker room, why would you think you can dominate the game? This wasn’t luck; it was because Roger did better in this regard than Shaq and Kobe. "It’s a shame, the best party girls Jerry Buss prepared to celebrate the championship seem unnecessary now. But Lakers fans don’t have to be too disappointed, because it seems like Roger can win this round of the finals without needing an average of 40 points per game," Marv Albert teased. Game 4 was the same; the Lakers were done. They might have been able to eliminate the Sacramento Kings in division, but if the team isn’t united as a fist, they have no chance against the Hawks. When the game ended, Magic Johnson, like the more than 20,000 Los Angeles fans on site, couldn’t say a word. Maybe Kobe Bryant will be great in the future, and maybe Shaquille O’Neal can save his career elsewhere. But one thing is already certain—the OK duo’s Lakers, or rather the big3 Lakers, were a complete failure. The grand blueprint Jerry West fantasized back then ultimately only added a few Western Conference championships to the Lakers’ achievements. Next, it will be Roger’s coronation moment! In 1997, the Orlando Dynasty was built on the bodies of the ascetics in Salt Lake City and Michael Jordan.
