After the confession failed, I went to the NBA to play and lose weight

Chapter 333

In fact, any "mortal enemy" in China is more or less like following the trend.

After all, how can you feel the local team culture across the floor? Many fans who say they are fans of the team are also personal fans in essence, but now we pay attention to "one person, one city". It can be said that the stars are the representatives of each team. , The pink star is also equivalent to being on the pink team.

For example, Duncan of the Spurs, Nowitzki of the Mavericks, Kobe of the Lakers, Yao Yu in Houston, and James of the Cavaliers.

And many fans mentioned that they are generally connected with their respective teams behind them, feeling that an equation has been drawn, and if they want to leave the team, they will be blackened into carbon.

But in the United States, there are really many Boston fans who began to support the Magic team that eliminated them because the opponent of the Magic team in the finals was the Lakers.

After all, the yellow-green battle and the black-and-white confrontation in the past were the main theme of an era. Many old fans now happened to be the main consumers who started watching the game at that time, and their feelings are naturally different.

Originally thought that Green Kai could finally rise today, but was defeated by the Magic. Of course, he couldn't just sit back and watch the Lakers win the championship and regain their glory.

They want to see the Lakers defeated now, and it is best to solve it in about five games, so maybe they can get a place name such as "the most valuable Eastern Conference finals" and "hard power runner-up".

Of course, the fans of the Lakers still support the Lakers, but watching today's game, the situation seems to be not good, which makes the fans at home start to get anxious.

When the fourth quarter began, every time the Lakers attacked, the sound of "LA" would shake the roof of the arena, and every time the Lakers defended, the slogan of letting go was equally loud.

In this kind of atmosphere, it would be useless not to yell, but if you yell like this, you may not be able to speak after the game.

And it seems to have been encouraged by the home fans, or it may have been driven by Kobe's efforts at the end of the third quarter. Gasol came up and played very proactively. He almost stopped the Magic with 2 points and 2 assists.

At the end of the third quarter, the Magic took a three-point lead to double digits. Li Cheng scored 5 points and 5 assists on 12-for-3 in the first half of the quarter. He scored 9 points against Kobe. , slightly better.

In the fourth quarter, relying on Gasol's recovery to continue his life, the Lakers caught up to another 5 points.

But Howard was not to be outdone, and hit the basket continuously. Today, his personal status is not inferior to Li Chengming. Unfortunately, he got into foul trouble in the first and third quarters, so he played quite depressed.

At this time, Van Gundy set up a four-shot lineup for him. The Lakers did not dare to play the outside line lightly. Turkoglu was still very thieves.

No one inside could stop the monster that charged up, and Gasol also fouled four times, so he didn't dare to reach out easily.

After the opponent was not fooled and chased after him, Turkoglu made another breakthrough himself. In the fourth quarter, the Turks actually recovered some form, and teamed up with Warcraft to help the team withstand the pressure of the opponent's counterattack.

As a result, when the main players on both sides returned to the field one after another, the Magic still took the initiative in the game with a 9-point lead, and this time the ball was still in their hands.

The Magic served from the backcourt, and Turkoglu held the ball and pushed it across half court. After Li Chengming received the ball directly from beyond the three-point line, he ran over Odom to the low post. When Kobe came to outflank, he suddenly turned around and took a step forward. Oddang was wiped out.

Seeing this, Gasol rushed over and instantly formed a three-guarantee situation. The Spaniard was psychologically disturbed by Li Chengming. A little guilty.

But Li Chengming turned around at this time and made a back pass from the bottom line just over Gasol and gave the ball to Howard behind him. Warcraft faced the empty basket with a jump and slam dunk, and the Magic led by 11 points. .

The Lakers succeeded in tactics, and Fisher responded with a three-pointer from the bottom corner. In the first half, Lao Yu didn't take many shots. In the second half, he increased his outside shots. Currently, he is 4 of 2 three-pointers.

But they couldn't defend against the Magic's offense. This time, it was Li Chengming who attracted the defense and then passed it to Howard.

The Magic is also tactical here, because they have a lot of leads and are fault-tolerant. They can play more calmly, and the threat of Li Chengming in the low post makes the Lakers have to deploy heavy troops here at all times. After the defense is tilted, it is easier for the strong side to appear. Chance.

The comparison between the two sides at this time is whoever makes a mistake first and whoever loses the chain first.

Kobe took the lead in scoring his 30th point of the game after hitting a mid-range shot through a screen. Back on the defensive end, this time he predicted a success and suddenly came out halfway to intercept Li Chengming's pass.

The fast break caused Evans to foul again, but this was another two free throws.

Director Zhang immediately said: "I don't know if it was the impact of the previous injury, or whether his physical strength has declined since he played. Kobe's condition is much worse. He hit the inside a lot today. This is actually determined by the Magic's defensive strategy. It does take a lot of energy.”

And since today, Kobe has barely rested. There are 5 minutes left in the game, but his playing time has exceeded 40 minutes.

This is actually nothing to say, because the Lakers need him to play so many games. Although Odom can also hold the ball, Gasol, who was supposed to act as the tactical axis in the low post, is not in good condition today, and Kobe has to bear more. singles tasks.

Throwing free throws was just the beginning. The Magic's offensive Li Chengming pulled out a three-pointer and missed, but Howard faced Odom and Kobe at the basket.

Now Odom's mind seems to be not so clear again, Kobe patted him aside and pointed for a long time, really like a brother like a father.

Howard also missed a free throw, but looking back, Kobe's personal offense was also fruitless.

The ball was obviously short, and it also faintly revealed his physical crisis.

Who would have thought that this "veteran" who has played in the league for 12 years is only 30 years old this year, and he is at the peak of his personal state.

But at the same time when his skills and experience were at their peak, his body inevitably began to decline. At least in terms of physical endurance, he couldn't compare with a young man in his twenties.

After four or 10 minutes of the finals, only a little problem appeared in the second half of the fourth quarter, which can already be said to be quite difficult.

But on the field, there is no such thing as respecting the elderly. It should even be said that playing the game more seriously is the best respect for the opponent.

So the Magic seized the opportunity of this fast break, and when the front court was 3-2, Li Chengming suddenly asked for the ball from beyond the three-point line and directly hit a three-pointer, which maximized the opportunity of this fast break .

The Zen master had to call a timeout. Now the situation is unfavorable. They have to stabilize the situation first, give themselves a breath of relief, and let veteran players like Kobe and Fisher take a good rest.

As for the Magic, Van Gundy praised the performance of the players, and then said solemnly: "Next, LI, it's up to you, we have to hold on to our advantage; on the defensive end, we should focus on the quadruple..."

"Look at the quadruple?" When they returned to the court, they saw the defensive formation of the Magic, and the Lakers and the commentator were a little surprised.

But it soon became clear, because the Lakers did not pose too many threats to the Magic except for Kobe.

Vujacic didn't make much noise in the second half. He just scored some points intermittently. At any rate, he was able to score 20 points, but the others didn't even score in double figures.

So if you really want to target Kobe, it seems that there is no problem.

But aren't they afraid that others will be released?
