Chapter 690
In the first few games, he turned the tide for the Kings and earned match point, and Mike Bibby was also a big dispar in this game. Update: The fastest shot in the game only hit 4 of 15 shots, and got 13 points and 6 assists.
Without the support and organization of Mike Bibby on the outside, relying only on the play of Divac on the inside, the Kings obviously lost control of the game.
Especially when the veteran Divac ran out of energy in the fourth quarter and was forced off the court, the moment came to decide the fate of the Kings.
The Timberwolves, who were not very attacking, beat the Kings by 18 points on their home court and reached the semifinals.
In the end, the most high-profile matchup has now been decided.
Perhaps stimulated by Phil Jackson's phrase "Never underestimate the heart of a champion!" , the Los Angeles Lakers players suddenly became unusually strong in their second home game.
Finally, under the guidance of Kobe Bryant's 9 three-pointers, he successfully won the second victory, and after coming to the home court of the Golden State Warriors, he made the score of the two sides 3:0 in one fell swoop, and the sweep was in front of him.
Seeing that his team seems to have found the feeling again, and the state is slowly recovering, Phil Jackson swept away the decadence when the team was behind before, and when facing the media, he also returned to the unfathomable and proud of the deep mountain hermit.
"We seem to have finally come to our senses, and the players all realize that the dignity of the championship must not be bullied by the buns from Golden State. We've gradually regained the heart of a championship for a moment, and I have to say it's just amazing!"
"It's ridiculous that the Warriors still have a chance to win games! Now the whole world should know that they are not at the same level as us. ”
"The first game was just because we were careless, the players went through three consecutive championships and it was easy to make some mistakes that were underestimated. It's totally forgivable! Don't forget that we were the league's top regular season, and as for the Golden State Warriors? Who knows what they did in the regular season?"
"The Black Eight Miracle? Something like that is never going to happen to us! We're neither the Seattle SuperSonics nor the Atlanta Hawks. ”
In the more than 50 years of NBA history, there have been two Black Eight miracles, namely in 1994 when the Denver Nuggets defeated the Seattle SuperSonics, who were the No. 1 team in the West at the time, and in 1999, when the New York Knicks defeated the Miami Heat, who were the No. 1 team in the East that year.
Phil Jackson's self-confidence is definitely not untargeted, and the Los Angeles Lakers do have such confidence, look at the 14 championship flags flying above the Staples Center Arena!
After the first game, Lakers owner Dr. Buss personally came forward to interview Shaq and Kobe. After being interviewed, the OK group seems to have let go of their prejudices against each other. In the next two games, the Lakers did perform very well, especially the team's interior killer Shaq O'Neal, and his dominance made even the Golden State feel as if they were back in history.
When the overall score was 3-0, almost all Angelenos forgot the humiliation of their own team in Game 1 and how the Golden State Warriors humiliated them on their doorstep.
Lakers fans began to become blindly confident, feeling that it was only because of their own carelessness that the Golden State Warriors took advantage of the loophole, and once they got serious, the Golden State Warriors had to kneel and beg for mercy. The current Lakers are unprecedentedly strong, and they will definitely be able to make persistent efforts this year to create a new miracle in the history of the Lakers for four consecutive championships!
This kind of blind self-confidence is not only reflected in the team's little dad Jim Buss and Lakers fans, but also among the players.
After taking a big lead over the Golden State Warriors, the Lakers swept away their previous frustration and became unsighted and arrogant! Even Kobe Bryant, one of the core of the team, who has always regarded victory as his life, stood up and said: "We're going to sweep, yes! All the way to the Finals." No one can stop us from winning four consecutive championships, and the Lakers' miracle will forever be etched in NBA history. ”
The strong self-confidence shown by the Lakers made the media that had been singing about them all of a sudden change of direction and began to hype up the Lakers. At this time, the Golden State warriors, who were already standing on the edge of the cliff, were thrown into the garbage heap by them.
The Lakers are preparing for the next semifinals, and the Golden State Warriors, who feel insulted, are completely furious.
In the fourth game, the Golden State Warriors, who fought against the odds, let fans all over the world know what it means to die and come back to life!
The Lakers were beaten by the Warriors on the road, and the previous arrogant arguments became a laughing stock at this moment.
The defending champions were not simply led by the Warriors at half court this time, but were completely slapped in the face. Sweep now seems like just a joke!
When the fourth quarter ended, the Golden State Warriors' arena instantly turned into a sea of joy. Countless fans broke through the stadium security and stormed the stadium, and even people who had not known each other before embraced each other to celebrate this rare victory.
Golden State fans are happy and content at this moment! Yes, Golden State fans are lovely and content, they know contentment. Although the Golden State Warriors only managed a small victory to the outside world, they were satisfied.
The Golden State Warriors have been forgotten for too long, and people have long forgotten that the famous basketball emperor Wilt Chamberlain scored a single-game miracle with the Warriors. Of course, they also forgot that they have won the NBA championship three times in their history.
The frustration in recent years has long made them be labeled as a fish belly team. After struggling at the trough for so many years, this moment is finally their turn to raise their eyebrows. Defeated the unbeatable defending champion Los Angeles Lakers in the playoffs, even if it was just a mere victory!
Phil Jackson left the ring with a grim face at the end of the game, shaking his head. He didn't go out on the pitch to comfort his players as he usually did when the team went through defeats.
Obviously, the arrogant atmosphere that permeated the team before had made the old coach have a premonition that such a thing would happen. He had also reminded the players in the dressing room meetings before the game, but no one listened to the players who had been carried away by the strong self-confidence at that time.
All the Los Angeles players were thinking about was how to win better in the game so that the cameras were always around them, or how to humiliate the Golden State people who had disgraced them before they won the game.
But the cruelty of reality is so sudden, when defeat is in sight, all the Lakers players are stupid, looking at the electronic scorer hanging high in the arena, and they can't get their souls back to their bodies for a long time.
The Warriors players continued to celebrate, and the Lakers players who reacted left the game gloomily. It's not their world anymore, and while almost every Lakers player had a picture of a post-victory celebration in their minds before the game, it doesn't need to be anymore.
When he left the court, Kobe Bryant kept his head down, and frustration had already crawled all over his face. Although he was arrogant by nature, he never took any opponent lightly on the court, but this time he was lost by the outside interference and the media singing praises, and he was punished in this way.
The young player next to him, Medvidenko, has long since lost his soul, like a walking corpse.
As they passed through the tunnel of the players, the Lakers players refused all requests for interviews, and now they don't have the face to say a word to the camera.
Those pre-game declarations of victory and those words of contempt for the Warriors have propelled them to the forefront. At this time, even if he said a word to the camera, the Lakers players felt that they were humiliating themselves.
The reporters didn't chase after them either, after all, there was another target that interested them more than the players who had become lost dogs.
The Lakers players escaped the lockdown of reporters in an awkward manner, but their leg-troubled head coach, Mr. Phil Jackson, was not so lucky. Fei'er finally escaped from the stadium, but before she could get on the bus, she was blocked by a crowd of reporters.
"I don't want to say anything today! Please go away! Go away!" Phil Jackson, who tried to break free several times, but failed all of them, finally became angry and yelled at his neck.
The assistant coaches who were supposed to be with Phil have long been pushed aside by reporters. At this time, even with so many Lakers staff members around, they were powerless, and they could only watch Phil struggle powerlessly in the crowd of reporters.
"Mr. Phil Jackson, what do you think of the sweep you said earlier?"
"Mr. Phil Jackson, do you think tonight's victory was really just luck for the Golden State Warriors?"
"Mr. Phil Jackson, is it really a big deal between Shaq and Kobe?"
"Mr. Phil Jackson, is the slight enemy before the game the main reason for the loss of this game?"
The reporters' verbal bombardment like submachine guns made Phil Jackson's head completely dizzy. In the past, he was wise and wise, and his words were sharp, and even the Jordan God of the year was willing to work for him under his three-inch tongue, Phil Jackson, let alone fight back with words at this time, even he was about to forget where he was.
The tall Phil Jackson was staggered in the crowd, like a lonely boat in the ocean. Although Phil Jackson's performance is a little down, no one will pity him at this time, everything is his own fault.
Besides, journalists don't have such a noble work ethic, and beating up the water dogs has always been their favorite thing to do. Especially a guy like Phil Jackson, who is usually dignified and personable, saw that he was now full of ugliness, and the hearts of reporters were already happy.
