Chapter 438: The God of War Returns!
"The Lakers lost!"
Just like the Chicago Bulls lost the game before, the news of the Lakers' loss in G3 instantly became a household name.
The Lakers' nine-game winning streak in the playoffs this season was ended, and although no one dared to predict that the Lakers would sweep Houston, the huge margin of difference and on-court performance between the two sides in this game caused heated discussions.
"I knew that Kobe and Shaq were unreliable."
"Haha, it's still Hakim and Charles! Invincibility! ”
"Look at Charles's performance! Houston just conceded two games to the Lakers, and then they will end the Lakers with consecutive wins! ”
The perception of these ordinary fans, their opinion is simple. The better side of the star wins, as most beginners to basketball think.
And this game has also caused a lot of heated discussions among many veterans.
"Harris is a bit risky to change tactics rashly!"
"Houston has shown his cards, and it seems that the Lakers can't solve the blocking of Barkley and Olajuwon at the moment."
"There's no solution, unless you give the Lakers a Bill Russell, I can't think of any other way to crack this offensive system."
"Bag clips? No, Ross Barkley and Olajuwon were too fast. ”
"The Lakers 2:0 is really not stable at all! As long as they can't solve the game, they lose. ”
"The offensive efficiency of the OK combination is so high, and it may not necessarily be a stable loss, right?"
"The needle doesn't poke! The west fights for offense, and the east fights for defense. This year's playoffs don't poke the needle! What will the final look like! I looked forward to it. ”
There is definitely a downturn for the Lakers, who were not traditional championship contenders in the eyes of the media in the first place.
The Lakers' youth storm is thought by too many people to only last in the regular season, and how many people think the Lakers can go all the way to the Western Conference Finals before losing?
No!
ESPN's prediction for the Lakers is a 3-2 victory over the Kings!
Lose 1:4 to the Hypersonics!
Before the series with Houston, 80% of ESPN experts believed that the Lakers would be swept!
This is still the judgment that the Lakers have not lost, and the Lakers really lost this game! And it was a complete collapse from tactics to players!
Too many experts can finally find a rationale to say that the Lakers can't go far!
"Damn, why do these people think we're going to lose 2:4 to Houston." Xiao Yu walked into Kobe's room wearing a nightgown and holding a newspaper.
Kobe, Bowen, Eddie Jones, and Big Ben were watching the video together.
This is a Mamba class, and Kobe Bryant specially showed several rookies of the Lakers videos to analyze the problems and adjust and improve.
"Of course you take the Houston Daily, of course you're going to think we're lost." Bowen gave Xiaoyu a burst, and Xiaoyu hugged her head and exhaled.
How to crack Houston's offensive system, Kobe Bryant pondered after the game and finally had a way.
The key to cracking the blocking of Barkley and Olajuwon is not Kobe Bryant, not O'Neal, but the Lakers' recent famous 'God of War'!
God of War Big Ben will finally return for the next game after a two-game ban!
The god of war has returned, and it is Barkley!
"Big Ben, you crooked your mouth and smile."
"Why are you smiling?"
"That's cool! That's right, if you use that emoji tomorrow when you defend Barkley, you'll be able to succeed!"
And Bowen is definitely the key of the key, the next game Kobe Bryant intends to give up the grappling with Drexler, he has been fighting with the glider for three games, consuming a lot of energy, although blocking Drexler's own offense, but it has not interfered with Houston's overall offense at all.
Bowen goes to defend the glider!
Kobe Bryant will put all his physical energy on the offensive end!
The next game will not only return with fists and feet, but also Kobe Bryant in the Black Mamba mode!
。。。
"Come on! Cheers! The Lakers lose! When the float is white! "Among the unicorns in Seattle, Peyton was hugging left and right, and having a good drink.
"!"
"Gary, Sean hasn't been to the unicorn in a week." A pony boy said to Peyton.
"It can't be!" Peyton got up from the couch in disbelief, and then sat down as if he had thought of something.
Could it be that Sean really .....
Which team will it be?
It can't be Los Angeles, right?
Thinking of Sean Kemp's personality and the extravagant boldness of Los Angeles Bass, Peyton was a little worried.
'The team management called me today, Gary. They promise to get you a good helper this summer. ”
"Excellent helper? Can it be better than Sean? Peyton smiled dismissively.
"Perhaps."
There weren't many big fish in the free agency market in '97, and Sean Kemp was pretty much the strongest player among them.
Payton also wants to show himself like Kobe Jordan on the playoff stage, but will next year really be better than this year's results?
Gary Payton was lost in thought in the flickering lights of the nightclub.
。。。
With the end of the Lakers' G3, the Bulls and the Heat's G3 in the East have also come out.
Bulls 98:74 Heat!
24 points of slaughter!
3:0!
Once again, the Heat only got an embarrassing score.
Tim Hardaway was 2-of-9 from the field, with 6 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 block and 5 turnovers.
Mourning 12+9.
Mashburn 14+4.
Other than that, no one from the Heat scored a double-double!
Execute!
Jordan executed a group of point guards in the league on the spot in this game!
In the case of blocking Tim Hardaway, he also scored 34 points, 8 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 3 turnovers on 14-of-25 shooting.
The rest of the Bulls also locked up their opposing players completely!
The series between the Heat and the Bulls has been sealed after this game, and no team in the 50-year history of MLB has been able to turn the tables by a 3-0 team, not even in 2020.
"Michael, congratulations on winning G3! The Bulls have made it to the tournament, what do you think of the Western Conference Finals? The Lakers lost, is it possible for them to be overturned? ”
Jordan raised his eyebrows, this reporter was really bold enough to dare to ask the West what he thought after the Bulls' game.
However, Jordan is in a good mood today, and Phil Jackson is really already preparing for the next round of opponents.
Whether the Lakers win or Houston wins, the Bulls have a plan for them.
Now the bulls are sandpipers and mussels competing for fishermen's profits, and they are waiting for the Lakers and Houston to meet you to the death.
"The Western Conference Finals are intense and intense, and I won't be an exception if either side wins."
"What do you want to say to your opponent in the next round?"
"There's not much to say, now I'm more interested in knowing who is the designer of this year's championship ring?" Michael Jordan smiled domineeringly and waved his hand.
No matter who I face in the next round, there's no way to shake my dominance.
I want everyone to understand that I am the god of basketball.
