Chapter 121: The Lakers' Redemption (Part I)

"In this league, every game is a mental training for the players, and after this training, some people fall and others become heroes in our hearts, which is probably the best interpretation of sportsmanship. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info We've seen a lot of lore, some of which even make people wonder if God is taking care of the guy who made the last shot, and I have to admit that some people are born to do this kind of thing, but today's lore is probably the bravest and most fearless shot we've ever seen, although it was our team that was killed. ”

"When the game was left with 24 seconds left, the Lakers were leading by two points, and many people expected who the Mavericks would be to execute this final shot, but even so, Liu Han still did not shirk his responsibility, he insisted on using up all the time, and then shot at the last second against the defense of three people, he did not give the Lakers any chance, just as he did when he was with the Lakers."

"We can't lament the loss because they have done the best they can be, but we are facing Liu Han, what a sad thing it is, he should have been the symbol of Los Angeles, the guardian of the city, but today he made the most painful choice for us."

After Game 3 of the Lakers' game against the Mavericks, the Los Angeles Sports Newspaper reported the game as mentioned above.

Liu's last-gasp strike left Staples silent for a long time, and Lakers fans expected the team's defeat, but they didn't expect to be defeated by that man in this way.

Some people may say that the media reports on the game is a bit weak, but it must be admitted that Los Angeles people have a special affection for Liu Han, if it wasn't for the time of the shooting, Liu Han should have founded his own new dynasty here, Liu Han can be said to have the basic conditions to become a city hero, but in the end, it was fateless, the heartbroken Liu Han disappeared in everyone's nostalgia, leaving only a series of legendary stories to Los Angeles, and when Liu Han returned again, He beat the Lakers in this way, which is hard for Lakers fans to accept.

The third game between the two teams in Los Angeles set a record for the highest ratings since the playoffs so far, and many people may have watched it for the stars, but the excitement of the game still made many people look forward to the next matchup between the two teams.

In contrast to the Western Conference Finals, the Eastern Conference Finals have much lower ratings, and neutral fans rarely pay attention to this game except for the fans of the two teams' geographical locations.

The Pistons, who returned to the Palace of Auburn Hills, took advantage of their home court advantage to beat the Pacers again 85-78.

The Pacers were not in good shape in this game, Artest had three fouls on his back early and caused a lot of problems for their outside defense, although O'Neal Jr. scored a game-high 24 points plus 9 rebounds, but the Pistons had no choice but to blossom as a team, Hamilton and Rasheed Wallace each scored 20 points. Wallace also had 17 points and 16 rebounds in his account, so the Pistons now have a 2-1 overall lead over the Pacers, and the situation is starting to turn against the Pacers.

The results of the Eastern side are what the league doesn't want to see, and several stars that the league has been promoting, such as Maddy, Kobe, Carter and others have suffered from injuries this season, and the team's results are not very good, except for the Nets, other teams with star players have been out early, which is a situation that the league doesn't like to see, after all, if you want to attract the attention of fans, you still have to rely on these star players, really compare, the number of fans of Carter alone is enough to blow up the entire Pistons team.

So compared to the Western Conference Finals, the Eastern Conference Finals are much colder.

When the Pistons and Pacers were playing on May 26, the Lakers had already assembled in the training hall, and they had to make adjustments for their second home game.

"The most critical problem we have to face now is how to deal with China's Liu, and this is the biggest problem we are facing now."

Phil Jackson didn't say a word, but the assistant coach began to speak, and most of the Lakers' coaching staff believed that Liu Han was the biggest threat to the Lakers right now.

"The problem now is not how to defend against Chinese Liu, but who to defend against Chinese Liu, and we can't find a suitable person to defend him. He was too comprehensive to find any flaws. ”

"No, you are all wrong, not how to defend that Chinese, but how to play your own offense, just thinking about defense is useless, that person can't defend at all, we can't defend only that person for the whole game, the Mavericks have other people, Nowitzki, the German, is not so easy to deal with."

The members of Phil Jackson's coaching staff have a lot of opinions, and there is no unified opinion at all, and Phil Jackson himself is also silent, he is also struggling with how to deal with Liu Han, whether to fight offense or defense, and now he is facing a dilemma.

The Mavericks are the team that has averaged the most points per game this season, their players are very physical, and they play with an unusually fast pace, and the Lakers could fall into a completely chaotic rhythm if they play offense.

And if you fight defense, you can't find a player who can defend Liu Han, and if you defend Liu Han with all your might, the rest of the Mavericks will find opportunities.

"You can't think about it too much, the more you think about it, the easier it is to lose your own characteristics, alas, you can only do it......"

Phil Jackson secretly made up his mind in the midst of everyone's quarrels, and whether he could succeed or not would depend on the next game.

The Lakers are discussing how to deal with the next game, and the same is true for the Mavericks, although they won the last game, but if it weren't for Liu Han's magical performance, it is estimated that the Mavericks should lose, and the Mavericks' own chain drop in the third quarter gave the Lakers too much opportunity.

"Don't hesitate, I've stressed to you many times, the more you hesitate, the easier it is to lose confidence, if you lose confidence, then our tactics will not be able to be executed, do your best, be the best version of yourself, trust your teammates and yourself, we want to finish the game in Dallas, don't let me lose my trust in the media, boys, my old man can't afford to lose anyone."

Nelson's words were harsh but not harsh, and he was good at doing it.
