Chapter 426: Wei Xia's right hand was raised high, and the Warriors, whose morale had fallen to the bottom, looked at the gesture that might be the most rustic in the world, but couldn't say a ridiculous word, because they were the failure side.

It was precisely in order to celebrate the victory from them that Wei Xia used his right hand to make a victory gesture.

121 to 98

The 31-point defeat allowed the Warriors to give the match point to the Lakers.

1 to 3

They are three match points behind the Lakers, but few people believe that they can change the current crisis and create miracles again.

Because the Lakers are different from the Mavericks who were sent out by the lower-blades, they are much tougher.

Phil Jackson watched the timer end with his own eyes, and everyone around him jumped up and celebrated, only he was meditating.

He never forgot the conversation between the Bass family and the night he entered the Lakers for the second time.

He could hear clearly that the Lakers did not plan to form a championship team around Kobe, and they hoped to spend ten years finding the answers to the next era.

Until then, Kobe was just a ticket-selling machine.

A while ago, he accidentally learned that Kobe's promises were completely different.

Bass promised Kobe that he would form a championship lineup around him, and he would be the Lakers' top card and appearance for the next 10 years.

How cruel and cunning, how would Kobe react if he knew about this?

In the two years after 2005, the changes in the situation, the Lakers' progress speed, and Kobe's potential obviously exceeded the expectations of the Bass family.

They had to correct their plans, but there is still a question mark on where the Lakers' future path is.

At least what Zen masters can be sure is that Kobe and second-year Wei Xia can already make them reach the semi-finals in the West surrounded by tigers and wolves.

It looks like a team that is just a mess, with many high-quality role players.

But there are too many impurities. To form a champion, you must first expel those impurities and then find ways to strengthen your core combat power.

Two seasons have passed, and the Lakers have not changed much.

Wei Xia was a surprise. If Jim Buss hadn't stepped on the shit, what lineup would the Lakers be?

How far can the Lakers without Wei Xia play under Kobe's leadership?

There are too many problems worth thinking about, and there are too many mistakes to reflect on.

The Zen master believes that the Lakers have wasted two years of time, and their misjudgment and miscalculation have eliminated Kobe's two-year peak period.

It is certainly a welcome goal to reach the semi-finals, but this is not a goal for the Lakers.

What makes Zen Master powerless is that this team that is already very powerful, their final finish can only be the Western Conference Finals.

They have a hard time beating the winner between the Spurs and the Suns.

The gap in strength is there, and whether or not it will not change.

"Phil, you look unhappy." Tex Winter noticed a change in Jackson's face.

Jackson asked him back: "If you know that the final winner is not you, no matter how hard you try, you have to watch others laugh to the end, will you still make the same effort?"

"I probably won't. I'm too old and have limited energy." Old Winter looked at the players, "but they will, they are young and have no limits, and they are so energetic that they fail eight times and ten times, and they also have hope."

Jackson snorted with a bitter smile.

What he least wants to see is a group of people who should not fail because of management’s mistakes.

It is acceptable to fail to pursue your goal with all your might.

What if Kobe found out that he was doing his best and didn't even take their grades to heart when he found out that someone was stumbling behind his back?

After all, the Lakers' market value is rising every day. Even if Kobe's ten years of youth is wasted, it is still the golden sign of the league.

The Lakers stood up and left proudly.

On the same night, another battle zone, the Spurs and Suns series happened.

Before the game ended, Spurs forward Robert Horry showed his "big heart" when the winner was decided, smashing the unprepared Steve Nash with all his might to the billboard on the sidelines, arousing the indignation of the Suns.

Several players led by Amare Stoudemire rushed into the field. Although the conflict did not occur, they violated the league's regulations.

According to regulations, if a player who is on the bench who is conflicted on the court leaves his seat, he will be automatically suspended in the next game.

With Nash's great 24 points and 15 assists, the Suns who tied the series, were already ready to go back to home to clean up the Spurs.

This change is very likely to completely bury their season prospects.

Losing Stoudemire and Boris Dior's Suns, is there any ability to beat the Spurs at home to get match points?

He has the ability, but the balance has turned toward the Silver Black Legion.

Nash said after the game: "I understand that Horry is frustrated by the team's reversal, but that cannot change the fact that he is maliciously fouled. Generally speaking, when such fouls occurs, I might not be exaggerated to roll in the spot, but I don't think it is necessary at all. Everyone can see the harm I'm hurt. I'm really angry, I can't always be treated like this by my opponent."

"The murderer" Horry himself said that he is an old-fashioned player and does not play sissy basketball.

The media asked him about the motives of the evil offender Nash.

"I just want to fight harder!"

Countless old fans who have seen it from the 1980s regretfully said that they didn't know what kind of toughness they were about to knock a person who was completely unwarranted from the field.

But we still have to admit that Horry is a real key gentleman.

At no time of suspense, he could still create a prerequisite for the Spurs to win the series in this despicable way.

If the Suns lose the series in this way, their impact on them will be no less than being a tiebreaker.

The Lakers heard about what happened next door, but they had not finished their business yet and had no time to be distracted.

Go back to home first, train with peace of mind, and actively prepare for the fifth game of the semi-finals.

The Lakers' tyrannical Warriors in the fourth game have created conditions for winning, and the harvest in the fifth game is natural.

Before Game 5 started, the league made its last MVP simulation.

No surprises, Nowitzki, Nash and Kobe ranked in the top three in the predictions.

However, Kobe and Nash's votes were extremely close, and Nowitzki didn't lead much.

This gap may change at any time.

Nash has the opportunity to win the MVP for three consecutive years, Nowitzki can keep his last pair of underwear, while Kobe hopes to win the first MVP trophy in his life.

May 15, 2007

The fifth game day of the semi-finals.

Before the game began, the league announced the winners of the 2006-07 MVP.

After arguing for half a month, the result did not change.

Voters respect the tradition of MVP - casting it to the best player of the 82 regular season teams.

The Germans who led the Mavericks to 67 wins won it, but the process was dangerous.

The difference in votes between Nowitzki, Kobe and Nash is less than 5%.

The league announced the results. Kobe, who lost the MVP, gritted his teeth and looked ugly.

The Warriors in the fifth game no longer had the fighting spirit. Seeing Kobe's fierceness, they had a premonition that something bad was about to happen.

How should Kobe vent his anger against a team that does not resist?

His approach was unexpected.

Passing the ball - running the ball - strive for a dunk, only dunk can vent your anger.

Unfortunately, the NBA game basket has been strengthened, and there is no one who can smash the rebounds. Otherwise, Kobe could really try it today.

The Warriors gave many opportunities to dunk. Kobe dunks if he can, and passes if he can't. What he pursues is not the high scores that fans imagine, but various dunks.

The Warriors have not changed much from the previous games, with many offensive points, but collectively falling to freezing point and shooting at the ball as soon as they get the ball, everyone is trying to make it.

Tonight, the Warriors made 28 of 80 shots, with a terrible shooting percentage.

He made 5 of 24 three-pointers, creating countless long rebounds, but the Lakers were not sure about it.

A large number of rebounds have resulted in the Lakers' four-man rebounding in double rebounds.

Odom caught 15, Kobe followed closely behind, 14, Wei Xia took 12 without being willing to fall behind, and Bynum also got 10.

The Warriors, who had a very bad touch, sent him away with a low score of 87 points in the game.

The Lakers played not well, only scored 100 points. Based on the Warriors' three-point shooting percentage, their counterattack scores were ridiculously low and they were in a bad state.

It was just against the backdrop of their opponents that they controlled the situation.

Stay ahead until the end.

4 to 1

In just five games, the Lakers eliminated the Warriors who completed the Black Eighth and returned to the division finals after three years.

The reporters deliberately asked Kobe for the loss of the MVP.

Kobe maintained his greatest cultivation: "I respect their choice."

On the other hand, Wei Xia's answer was: "I swear to defend Kobe's right to be angry."

Defend Kobe's right to be angry
