Chapter 155 The Battle of Tianwang Mountain

On the plane back to Los Angeles, the atmosphere of the entire Lakers team was gloomy and eerie.

They wanted to win the match point with the power of two consecutive victories, and even sweep the Warriors, but they didn't expect to lose two games in a row and give up the lead.

This made the Lakers depressed from top to bottom.

Losing is not terrible. What really worries the Lakers is that they still can't find a way to deal with Du Zhe.

If this continues, Du Zhe will definitely be directly defeated and eliminated because of this one point.

Many Lakers players even feel that the balance of victory in this round of the series has begun to tilt towards the Warriors.

In the Eastern Conference finals, the Magic finally got back a round with Howard's strong performance of 32 points and 16 rebounds, and they are now 1:3 with the Celtics.

On May 5, the Lakers vs. Warriors battle of Tianwangshan finally started.

No matter which team wins this game, they will be able to get the match point of this round of the series, which can be said to be a key battle.

And this battle will return to the Lakers' home stadium, Staples Arena.

Local fans in Los Angeles also knew that this battle was crucial and sold out the tickets for this game early.

Although the Lakers lost both games on the road trip, the fans in Los Angeles did not lose confidence.

After all, the point difference between the two games is not too big. The Lakers still have the home court advantage in the remaining games, and there is still great hope of eliminating the Warriors.

Before the game even started, Staples Center was already packed.

"Mike, you're here! This way, this way!" In the back row of the stadium, a fan was greeting a strong man who was a few meters tall.

After the strong man found his position, he sat down slowly. It was none other than Du Zhe's assistant coach Mike during the offseason last year.

And it was his friend Paul who greeted him.

"It's rare for you, a busy person, to take the time to watch this game." Before Mike could sit down, Paul on the side complained.

"Hey, isn't this the team's summer vacation? There are no games recently, and I just happened to take a break." Mike found a job as an assistant coach for a high school team in Los Angeles this year, so he was able to find time to watch the game today.

"Hey, do you think the Lakers can win today's game? Kobe hasn't played very well in these few games." As a local fan in Los Angeles, Paul asked worriedly.

"Whether the Lakers can win or not is hard to say, but I know that if Du Zhefang continues to say it, Kobe will be depressed forever." Mike looked at the field thoughtfully with deep eyes.

"What? No way..." Paul was obviously dubious.

Although he was dissatisfied, he also knew that his friend was a semi-professional, so what he said must be true.

But Mike is already a little absent-minded at this time, his thoughts have already flown to a year ago.

Although Du Zhe was already an NBA player at that time, he was just a substitute among the substitutes.

But to Mike's surprise, just one year later, Du Zhe's reputation resounded throughout the league. Even Nash, Nowitzki, and Kobe, who have been famous for a long time, will be overwhelmed by him. head.

He felt like he almost no longer knew Du Zhe...

And the game on the field is about to begin.

In the last game, the Lakers tried their best to target Du Zhe, but the Warriors came out with full firepower and easily won the game.

Faced with Du Zhe's incredible existence, Jackson had no idea at this time and could only change his tactics and try other methods.

In today's game, he decided to give up double-teaming Du Zhe and instead prepared to lock down other players on the Warriors.

After all, the other players of the Warriors are of average strength. With the deep background of the Lakers, it is easy to lock them up.

And no matter how strong Du Zhe is, how many nails can you drive by yourself?
Even Kobe Bryant only had one 81-point miracle.

Thinking of this, the Zen master Jackson was determined.

At this time, the game on the field has already started.

After the Lakers reduced double-teaming, Du Zhe was like a tiger returning to the mountain, and a dragon entering the sea, completely unstoppable.

Although Artest defended him bravely, he could only withstand it.

However, the Warriors are obviously a little bit overwhelmed by the sudden increase in defensive intensity faced by the Lakers.

Most of them have never played in the playoffs after all, and their strength and experience are more than enough.

But even so, the Warriors still fought evenly with the Lakers.

Du Zhe disrupted the entire defense line of the Lakers with only one person.

Artest is not as fast as him on the perimeter, and the Warriors can open up shooting space for Du Zhe with just a little pick-and-roll.

And what shocked Artest even more in the paint was that the power he was so proud of was actually at a disadvantage in front of Du Zhe.

Looking at the constantly deflated Artest, Kobe couldn't help recalling his own miserable experience in the previous games, and he felt a little lucky in his heart for no reason.

第1节比赛下来，杜哲就8投6中拿到了17分，而勇士队也以29:26的比分先声夺人

But this is far from Du Zhe's full strength, and the role of his various talents and equipment has not yet been fully exerted.

"My dear, this guy named Du Zhe is still so fierce. I thought he just ate dumplings in the past few games..." Du Zhe's performance made Paul, a loyal local fan in Los Angeles, click his tongue.

"What's the matter with Kobe? Why hasn't he shot so much in these few games? Could it be that some conflict broke out in the Lakers locker room?" But when Paul came back to his senses, he couldn't help but feel worried about the situation on the Lakers team. .

And Mike on the side didn't seem to notice his words at all, just looked at Du Zhe on the field with a complicated expression.

As Du Zhe's trainer in the past, he was considered half an insider in the industry. The tyrannical strength that Du Zhe showed now really made him feel frightened.

Those untouchable NBA stars became so embarrassed in front of Du Zhe.

"Is this the potential and talent of top NBA stars..." Mike couldn't help feeling secretly, with mixed feelings in his heart.

Du Zhe's performance was not over yet. In the second quarter, he came on again after a 2-minute break and scored another 5 points in just 7 minutes.

At the end of the first half, Du Zhe scored 27 points, 3 rebounds and 2 steals, leading the Warriors to a 55:55 draw with the Lakers.

Du Zhe almost single-handedly fought the Lakers in a [-]-[-] split.

Paul and Mike on the sidelines have long been impressed by Du Zhe's performance, especially Mike, who already knew Du Zhe, and now he has completely transformed into Du Chui.

And the two of them were not the only ones who were impressed by Du Zhe's performance?

After these few games, Los Angeles fans have long been convinced of Du Zhe, but they are unwilling to admit it because of face.

The most intuitive manifestation is that in today's game, the boos of the fans on the scene after Du Zhe took the ball were obviously much smaller.
