Chapter 425 They are not very powerful!(1/2)
"We have to face up to the problem. 'Black Eight' is great, but that's already the past."
The Warriors, who lost both away games, had to face the problem.
Don Nelson is not lacking in confidence in the team. He said decisively: "The Lakers have done what they should do at their home court, and it's our turn next. We are going to go back to our home court and do what we should do."
The event was so nervous that many people couldn't breathe.
The Lakers have a day off and set off for the away game.
During this period, countless media debated about MVP. The Mavericks, who were blacklisted in the first round, affected Nowitzki's prospects for winning.
He should have won the award without any suspense, but now the controversy has emerged again because Kobe led the team to lead the Warriors who hacked them 2-0.
Even Steve Nash, who played against another semi-finals, should be better than Nowitzki in the eyes of many experts.
The performance in the playoffs will indeed affect the voters' views on candidates, but in the end, they have to face the true meaning of MVP.
The sample they consider should be the regular season rather than the playoffs.
The star who gave the team the greatest help in 82 regular season games and improved the team the most should become MVP.
According to this standard, Nowitzki will take the initiative.
Now there is a question, just because the collapse of the calf is too abnormal.
The argument was mixed in the night of the game, and the third game of the semi-finals was a crucial night for the eight teams participating.
The Warriors who returned to their home court immediately regained their original passion and passion.
Byron Davis's crazy style of play and attack first illuminates the Oracle Arena.
The playoffs against the Warriors and Wei Xia are also a brand new experience. He almost became a part of them two years ago. Now, if he joined this team, would it be better than now?
It's hard to say.
They have a group of powerful players with different personalities and generally better offense than defense, which is a plus point for him. He likes defense. If these people attack, he can greatly reduce the offensive scenes and enhance the team's defense, and perhaps make the Warriors become a stronger team.
But those speculations are ultimately just speculations and cannot be confirmed.
Davis's outbreak is basically not as expected by the Lakers, and Kobe can't lock him up every game.
If you can't defend against Davis, there is a problem that you must face, that is, the collective rise in Warriors' morale.
The Warriors are a ball of fire, and Nelson is the one who sets the fire. He can choose the location and time, but he cannot control the fire.
He hopes that players will dominate the game, and excessive freedom will always lead to some difficult problems.
But today, those who give back freely are open and strong in which individuals can shoot and score.
In the first quarter, Davis scored 9 points; Michael Richardson scored 8 points, he finally got rid of Weisha's shadow and played; Al Harrington scored 6 points; Andres Biderlings scored 5 points.
The Warriors basically switched their form back to the game mode of the Black Eight team, which was the No. 1 in the Brave League.
The outbreak is continuous, and the Lakers have the ability to make some of theirs silent at some time.
They can do it!
Davis, who scored 9 points in a single quarter, came to the second quarter and was regarded as the Warriors' engine by the Lakers, so he was fully guarded and ended up with 0 points in a single quarter.
This is the special thing about the Warriors.
Davis is the initiator of everything, the driving force of emotions, and the magician who improves the character of the warriors. Once he does those things, he will not need to be the rest.
He can be invisible, he can disappear, he can die.
The rest of the Warriors can naturally stand up at the pace he sets to embarrass the opponent.
The running and bombing teams under Nelson have different "tastes" from other running and bombing teams.
Davis was silent, Richardson stepped forward, scored 10 points in a single quarter with 100% shooting percentage, and responded to Wei Xia, who embarrassed him in the first two games.
A French flyer Michael Pitrus jumped out of the bench, and he was even more aggressive, with 11 points in a single quarter and shot through the Lakers' outside line.
In addition, the singles of sophomore star Monta Ellis also put a lot of pressure on local counterattacks.
At the end of the half, the Lakers were 12 points behind the Warriors.
"I'm back, I feel that all our strength is back!" Davis shouted to the reporter.
The Lakers held their breath, only the Zen master was interviewed by the midfield, and everyone else returned to the locker room to calm down.
"Is the game over 12 points behind in the half?" Sprewell shouted, "No! Not yet! We want to do the end with them! This is what a man should do! This is what a man should play! We are not Mavericks, prove it to those cousins!"
In the third quarter, Kobe joined forces with Wei Xia to score 24 points, responding to the Warriors who blossomed at multiple points.
The game entered the fourth quarter of the decisive victory.
That is exactly where the Warriors have the advantage.
At the critical moment, the Warriors have many choices, while the Lakers only have Kobe and half Wei Xia.
They also defeated the Lakers at home with more scoring points.
Let the wish-mish, who scored 71 points, return in vain and lose one game.
1 to 2
"Will you be frustrated by this failure?" The reporter seemed to ask a ridiculous question.
Kobe responded with a sneer, "Of course not."
Wei Xia kept praising his opponent for his good play, without mentioning his own performance at all.
Looking at the whole game, the Warriors' offense allowed them to dominate the game.
The Lakers were not defeated like the Mavericks, and the most extreme difference lies in the core performance.
Nowitzki played in only two of the six games against the Warriors, but Kobe played like MVP after three games, and stabilized Carrey in two games, and one game was powerless to turn the day.
The Lakers lost the third game, but the Lakers were never dominated, defeated, and trampled on their bodies like the Warriors in the second game or the Mavericks in the first round.
The Warriors didn't have the chance to take a breath until the end of the game to examine their opponents.
They were dragged to win for the last second.
Now, opportunities are equal to both sides. Whether the Warriors' outbreak is accidental or regaining the secret of victory, the Lakers are still to study.
"Guys, they're not very powerful!"
At the review meeting the next day, Phil Jackson repeated this sentence at least 10 times.
It seemed like a curse, it seemed like brainwashing them, it seemed like they wanted to relive them in their sleep, as if they would still ring in their minds until the Fourth World War.
They are not very powerful!
"Last night's game, they had 6 people scoring in double digits, and the three people hit the average, but we ended up losing 6 points. Listen to it, if the details are done, we can bury them last night. They are not very strong, and there is no doubt that we are a better team!"
Jackson's review made the players much more awake.
After that training class that day, Kobe abnormally summoned his teammates to his side and said, "Let's cross the mountains and rivers!"
You need to know what kind of person he is to know how rare it is to inspire everyone by him.
Everyone listened to his words and shouted in unison.
The Lakers are ready for the fourth game!

The Warriors are also ready. They are ready to win at home and strive for a 2-2 draw to Los Angeles to play Tianwang Mountain.
That's not what the Lakers want.
Before the game begins, the starters of both sides find their opponents.
Wei Xia didn't know what others felt, but here, the Zen master's mantra-like words fulfilled.
They are not very powerful.
They are not very powerful.
They repeated this sentence in their hearts, and then the fans of Oracle Arena met the best wish.
The roaming on the offensive end, the filling of gaps on the defensive end, the energy that can never be exhausted, and the rebounding prediction that makes the Warriors desperate.
Not only defensive rebounds, but also offensive rebounds.
Four offensive rebounds in a single quarter.
He won 4 more 24-second offensive opportunities for the Lakers.
Watching the defensive rebounds fall repeatedly into Wei Xia's hands, Warriors fans use boos to express their dissatisfaction.
"It's not a technical problem or a physical problem to let players smaller than themselves grab rebounds repeatedly!"
"Everyone wants to get off the ball quickly, everyone wants to take turns to attack, who will protect the rebound?"
The commentator's question hit his heart, Kobe quietly scored 14 points in a single quarter, helping the Lakers lead the Warriors by 7 points.
That's just the first section.
Some signs can be seen in the first quarter. The biggest sign is that the Warriors' condition is far inferior to the third game, and the Lakers have a chance to push him to the ground.
That is exactly what the Lakers are going to do and what the Lakers are trying hard to prove.
To be continued...
