Chapter 660 Reaching the Western Conference Finals

"Victory, we're in the Western Conference Finals!"

"After eliminating the Lakers, I knew the Warriors would be able to do it. Well done!"

……

The Warriors fans on both sides cheered happily at the moment when the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, clapping excitedly and shouting loudly.

On the court, the Warriors players celebrated excitedly, while most of the Lakers players were full of loneliness and unwillingness. They fell at the feet of the Warriors for two consecutive years, and the Lakers players were not reconciled.

Unreconciled, the Lakers players had to accept it, and then walked into the player tunnel one by one in silence. There were still heart-pounding cheers behind them, but such cheers did not belong to them.

"Mvp! Mvp!" When Yang Shuai greeted the surrounding fans with a smile, the audience shouted again, and Yang Shuai also ran into the player tunnel amidst such shouts.

"The whole audience is shouting for mvp loudly. This kind of shouting belongs to Yang. In this game, Yang Shuai once again played the strength of mvp. 44 points, 8 assists, 10 rebounds, 3 steals and 1 block. This is Yang's whole game. The data, his 6 points and 1 steal at the last moment are the key factors for the Warriors to win the game."

Listening to Barkley's voice on the screen and watching the picture of the Warriors fans cheering, the Lakers fans in front of the screen felt completely uncomfortable.

"Fack, hell, how could it be possible to lose? The goal of the Purple and Gold this season is to be a champion, to be a champion!" A shirtless Lakers fan picked up a beer bottle in his hand and slammed it forward. The screen was smashed into countless pieces.

"It's a warrior again, but he lost to the warrior again? Could it be that he can't pass the level of the Oaklanders?" After scratching his hair, the middle-aged man picked up the wine bottle in front of him and stuffed it into his mouth, letting the spirits drink into his throat.

"The Lakers lost? Lost..." An old man with white hair pointed at the screen, and then suddenly fell to the floor clutching his chest. For a moment, the whole family was in chaos.

For the Lakers players and those die-hard fans, the game that just ended made them feel extremely bad, and the excitement brought about gave birth to one accident after another.

For the Warriors fans, such a result will undoubtedly allow them to sleep well tonight. After the players from both sides disappeared in the player channel, the Warriors fans at the scene also stood up and left the arena one by one.

"Dad, Mom, let's go too." Seeing that the people had almost left, Chu Xiyun stood up and said.

Li Ru smiled while standing up, "Xi Yun, you really told me that it was Xiao Yang and his team who won the victory. The shout just now made people's hearts jump out."

"Mom, just because you are watching the game today, Shuai Yang has to perform well." Chu Xiyun said with a smile.

"Well, thanks to Xiao Yang's performance at the last moment, but it's very dangerous to win." Chu Guangzhou obviously knows basketball better than Li Ru.

Hearing that her parents praised her sweetheart, the smile on Chu Xiyun's face became even brighter, and she made up her mind that if Yang Shuai proposed to sleep in his room again tonight, she would not say a word of rebuttal.

"The Warriors are a strong team. They gave us a lot of oppression throughout the game, but the key lies in ourselves. Mistakes at the last moment are the most important reason for the loss of the game. Yang is a worthy player. His performance on the court is almost impeccable, I hope he can lead the team to go further..."

In the press conference after the game, Kobe did not hesitate to praise Yang Shuai, but this is also the norm in the NBA.If you still say that the opponent is rubbish after losing, wouldn't you say that you are even more rubbish.

Although Kobe repeatedly emphasized the strength of the Warriors after the game, the reporters were not prepared to let him go. In fact, what they wanted to know was whether Kobe was dissatisfied with the status quo of the team, because in this way they had news to dig out.

Kobe has been in the league for so many years and has experienced many battles, big and small, and he will not be easily tricked by reporters.But even if Kobe didn't say anything, many media in Los Angeles came forward to criticize.

Many of these were blamed on Artest. In this series, Artest's performance disappointed many people. As the league's top defensive player, his ability to limit Yang Shuai in the game is really It's too weak, almost as long as Yang Shuai wants to score, Artest can't stop him.

Although people also know that this is because Yang Shuai's offensive power is too strong, but this does not affect people's dissatisfaction with Artest.

There are also many people who blame Fisher. In this game, Fisher was completely blown by Collison and left a deep impression on people. In the eyes of many media people, it is precisely because of Fisher Scheer's lack of impact made Kobe play harder, and Fisher's help to the team has been significantly weakened.

Some people are also blaming several inside players of the Lakers, accusing them of being unstable at the beginning of the matchup, accusing them of not being able to give full play to their inside advantages, and accusing Bynum of being not calm in the game.

Some people even question Kobe. From their point of view, Kobe’s dominance is constantly declining, especially compared with the current No.1 Yang Shuai in the league. Kobe’s scoring ability at critical moments is no longer Yang Shuai’s. opponent.

Because the Lakers lost, the media can find many reasons to say that the Lakers are wrong.Also because the Warriors won, the media put a lot of rhetoric in praising the Warriors. In their reports, it seems that the Warriors have defeated the invincible players in the league.

But one thing is obviously recognized by everyone. Yang Shuai is showing his dominance, especially his scoring ability at the last moment of the game.

Before the start of the duel between the Warriors and the Lakers, many people were not optimistic about the Warriors. After all, although the Warriors had a good record this season, they lacked the most stable Stephen Jackson on the bench. It seems to be more outstanding than last season.

However, the result was beyond these people's expectations. In the six games, the Warriors played very stable whether they were starting or as a substitute. On the contrary, the performance of the Lakers in the first three games fluctuated a lot.

Of course, no one will think that the Warriors' advancement is a fluke, and stability itself is a manifestation of strength.After the Lakers regained their form, the Warriors won two victories in the next three games, which is very telling.

The Warriors' victory in the fifth and sixth games inevitably mentioned a player, that is Yang Shuai. At the last moment of the two games, Yang Shuai took all the team's points alone, and played very stable.

According to relevant statistics, Yang Shuai ranks first in the league in terms of scoring in the last quarter, scoring and field goal percentage in the last 3 minutes, and the number of steals contributed in the last 3 minutes. He is a well-deserved key player.

Another statistic shows that in games where the point difference in the last 3 minutes was kept within 5 points, the Warriors' winning rate reached an astonishing 70.00%, and Yang Shuai's role in this cannot be ignored.

"When the Lakers still didn't open the point difference in the fourth quarter, the ending was already doomed. Although the Lakers had Kobe, even Kobe's scoring ability at critical moments couldn't be compared with Young..." No wonder someone commented after the game Said so.

The matchup between the Warriors and the Lakers is decided, and the Heat have eliminated the Celtics 4:1 in the Eastern Conference. Both the Warriors and the Heat have entered the conference finals.

For the rest of the duel, the Spurs and the Mavericks played only five games. The Spurs led the Mavericks 3:2. The Bulls and the Eagles also played five games. The Bulls led the Eagles 3:2.

The Warriors' opponent in the Western Conference Finals will be the winner between the Spurs and the Mavericks, and judging from the matchup between the two teams, the Warriors' opponent is very likely to be the Spurs.

Both the Spurs and the Mavericks were the opponents eliminated by the Warriors last season, but both teams have undergone great changes from last season. It may be no more difficult for the Warriors to win the Western Conference Finals and enter the Finals again than last season It was easy to fight the Lakers in seven games.
