Healthy basketball, starting from eating the old Lakers F4
Chapter 432: Breaking out of the cocoon, Master!
Moving to Los Angeles does not put much pressure on the Bulls.
Los Angeles has no shortage of fans, but the Clippers lack hardcore fans who can truly support them to win the game.
On June 6, Game 7 of the finals began.
The Staples Center was packed with people and the noise was deafening.
However, among the 19,000 spectators at the scene, one-fifth were Bulls fans wearing red jerseys.
And only a little more than half of the fans actually wear Clippers blue jerseys.
The remaining nearly one quarter of the fans were wearing a variety of clothing, some wearing trendy short-sleeved shirts, some wearing suits, and even some wearing the Lakers' purple and gold jerseys.
Although the Clippers have built a luxurious configuration and formed a super team in recent years, their record is better than the Lakers.
However, in terms of the team's influence and popularity, the Lakers are still among the top three teams in the league in terms of revenue, while the Clippers can only hover in the middle of the league.
From this we can see that the rental team located in the second largest city in the United States is only slightly stronger than the teams in the Central and some Eastern regions.
This also confirms what the die-hard Lakers fans said - the Clippers will never be the masters of Los Angeles!
The Clippers have been playing badly in the past and have failed to attract much love and support from Los Angeles fans.
On the other hand, the Lakers have won more NBA championships than any other team in the league.
The decades of uninterrupted brilliant record and the replacement of old and new stars have made local fans in Los Angeles naturally close to and admire the Lakers. Whenever the Lakers achieve greater success, the fans are even more proud and quickly gain a great sense of accomplishment and honor.
Coincidentally, in the past two years, the Lakers have had to sink, rebuild and lie dormant because of Kobe's age and condition.
At the same time, the Clippers have grown rapidly by recruiting new players, and are now showing signs of catching up.
Also because the "neighbors" have been doing too well in the past two years, local Lakers fans in Los Angeles have some thoughts about this.
The audience wearing Lakers jerseys tonight obviously did it on purpose.
Sometimes you watch a game not because you want to see the team win, but sometimes seeing the team lose can be a relaxing and enjoyable experience.
Getting back to the point, the situation of tonight's game was just as most people predicted before the game.
The Bulls players, who have rich experience in the finals, did not fall into a passive position because of playing away.
On the contrary, starting from the first quarter, they showed the fighting power and dominance that a defending champion and a dynasty team should have, and established a scoring lead early on.
However, the troubled Clippers still mustered the courage to fight to the death.
Durant, Paul and Griffin took turns holding the ball and continuously leading the team to attack, as if they were giving their all and going all out.
On the defensive end, Rivers seemed to have some plans in secret, constantly sending people to double-team Curry, restricting Curry from getting the ball, and limiting Curry's scoring.
To some extent, this is the strategy of using two peaches to kill three warriors.
In the first two finals, Curry scored a total of 59 points, 12 rebounds and 7 assists. Although Durant's score was not as high as Curry's, he also scored 54 points, not to mention 21 rebounds and 18 assists.
In the first two games, Duane almost averaged 25+ triple-doubles.
As the saying goes, a person's reputation is like a tree's shadow. Given Duane's past reputation, this year's Finals MVP is likely to continue to fall into Duane's hands.
This will more or less have some impact on Curry, who failed in the competition for the regular season MVP this season and is eager to prove himself with the honor of the Finals MVP.
However, Curry has no intention of giving up.
On the contrary, Curry is trying hard to run, score, and prove himself with his strength.
Instead of being like some people who say they don’t want a championship unless they get the FMVP.
Of course, maybe the defense was too intense, or maybe Curry felt some pressure.
Under the tight defense and constant double-teaming by the Clippers' outside players, Curry's scoring efficiency was not high in the first quarter, but in this situation, Curry kept running and looking for teammates to receive the ball.
Rivers couldn't help but smile when he saw this scene.
However, Curry himself is one of the league's most efficient scorers. Although it was difficult for him to receive the ball tonight and the challenge was very difficult, Curry was still able to help the team score time and time again at the level of an ordinary All-Star.
In other words, the Clippers concentrated their perimeter defensive resources but failed to completely restrict Curry.
Especially the core point guard of the Clippers, Paul, had to increase his physical investment in order to limit Curry. Curry can lead two players and tie down some of the Clippers' defensive resources, which is undoubtedly very helpful for the Bulls.
Even though Curry played a little anxiously, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages for the Bulls.
As long as the other Bulls players can stabilize the basic situation and help Curry stabilize the situation.
As long as Curry doesn't perform poorly in the fourth quarter, even if he can't score 40+ points like in the previous game, it will still be easy for him to get 30+ or 35+ in the whole game.
"Stephen, I believe in your ability to lead the team to win the game by scoring.
The finals are a great training opportunity, and you can completely unleash yourself on this stage.
We especially lack a star player who can lead the Bulls to break the deadlock and continue their glory.
I believe you can do it all!
But I also have to tell you, we needed to win tonight.
We need you to save some energy and step up when we need you to help the team get through the tough times."
Then, during the timeout, Duane talked to Curry.
Durant has already delegated power to Curry, and he is not so attached to the FMVP. Durant has already accumulated enough honors anyway.
However, it is unknown whether Curry can truly understand and grasp how to win in the finals.
At this point in time, Duan naturally does not want any internal friction or power struggle to occur.
I just hope Curry can wake up soon and play the right way.
"Don't worry, Duane, I can lead the team to win!" Curry first shook his head, then bit his braces and said seriously.
Obviously, Duane's few words failed to shake Curry's belief.
However, as a unique sharpshooter in NBA history, it is normal to have this belief.
I can score goals, I can score points, and I can lead the team to win!
So why not give it a try?
Curry was very angry, but fortunately he was not hurt, nor was he hurt to the Bulls.
In the end, Curry turned his intense emotions into strength!
Goodbye, young man, drawing the bow to its full extent, not afraid of time or wind!
Curry has finally taken the most important step towards becoming the league's ruler!
Even the best defensive player in the finals couldn't limit Curry's scoring. Even when two people double-teamed him, they couldn't limit Curry from just going inside and finishing his shots from the outside.
Curry is qualified and capable of shouldering the responsibility of a team's winning and leading the team to overcome everything!
"Stephen, congratulations! You have made another breakthrough and you have improved again!
You are now capable of becoming the best player in the league.
Next, please lead us to win the game!
I can't wait to see you hold up the trophy that belongs to you alone!"
“Haha, I also think I will get the reward I deserve.
But I care more about this year's championship!
You know, it means more to me!"
Curry showed his greedy side. The championship means more to him than the Iguodala Award.
Of course, Curry is now full of confidence and has already regarded the FMVP as a sure thing, so he cares more about the championship.
After all, the Bulls' glory over the past decade was brought about by Duane.
In the eyes of most people, although Duane has begun to decline, he is still the boss of the team.
Therefore, Curry needs to continue to work hard and perform better in order to break the perceptions that fans have already established in the past.
And this is also the path that the new alliance ruler must take!
For superstars, winning the championship is not difficult. It’s just strength and luck.
However, if one wants to evolve from a super giant to the ruler of the alliance, he needs to defeat other super giants of the same period, or wait for other super giants to retire on their own.
Curry has no chance to fight with Durant, so he will defeat the entire league and become the new generation leader of the Bulls! (End of this chapter)
