Fisher didn't expect O'Neill to say this.

And he was very flattered when he heard it.

After all, he's only a role player, and he's even less on the team than Horry.

Bryant finished thinking, and although he didn't speak, he also nodded seriously.

It is rare for two people who are on the same page to reach an agreement on the same issue.

For a moment, you can feel something called hope.

So, after the end of the training, O'Neal and Kobe Bryant found Phil Jackson successively and said that they wanted to increase Fisher's shooting power.

Jackson listened to O'Neal first, and then Kobe.

His surprise was no less than Fisher's.

Today the sun is coming out in the west.

Then, he gladly accepted.

There is no reason for him to refuse the same offer from two people, not to mention that this proposal is indeed the best way for the Lakers to solve the dilemma.

After a two-day break, the Mavericks flew to Los Angeles.

The next two away games of the series will be played there.

The day after they arrived in Los Angeles, the Wizards-Celtics game started in the East.

The Wizards also lost two straight sets in their first two games to take a 2-0 lead in the big score.

This time, the two teams moved to Boston, and the Celtics took advantage of the home court...... Still lost 93-99.

The floor, air conditioning, these tricks that Sun Hao had seen at the beginning were all used by the Green Shirts, but they still failed to change the result of the game.

The overall strength of the Celtics is obviously weaker than that of the Wizards.

And the cooperation between Jordan and Yao Ming is really underestimated, both of them are the type that can attack and pass, and the ball quotient is also at the ceiling level.

Even if Jordan is only five years younger, the Wizards will definitely be a dominant team.

"We're going to make them 3-0 too!"

After seeing the results of the Wizards and the Celtics, Nowitzki couldn't help but speak.

Sun Hao slapped Nowitzki directly in the ass this time.

"Dirk, I'm telling you very seriously, this is called poisoned milk, poisoned milk!"

Sun Hao found out that he had overestimated Nowitzki before, and this guy still didn't understand metaphysics.

Taking this opportunity, he had a good time with Nowitzki.

"You have a point, but we're going to win."

Nowitzki nodded earnestly.

Sun Hao poured directly.

However, Nowitzki is right, with the state of the Lakers, the Mavericks have a good chance of winning even if they play on the road.

Won the third game, with a big score of 3-0, and the series was basically won.

To paraphrase Maddie's words, at that time, you can consider the opponent in the next round, whether it is the Spurs or the Kings.

That night, the Lakers and Mavericks game kicked off at the Staples Center.

There were a lot of Hollywood movie stars at the scene, including their VIP audience "actor" Nicholson.

But in addition to these people, the owner of the team, Bass Sr., also came to the VIP box on the sidelines, and he was followed by his son Bass Jr.

The elder Bass is different from Cuban, he rarely comes to the Staples Center to watch the game at home now, and his son basically does it for him.

He came to the arena tonight to show only one thing, the Lakers are in a very disadvantageous situation right now, and they need him to come to the sidelines to boost morale.

In fact, when the camera showed the old Buss, the Lakers players were also greatly inspired.

Auerbach, Old Bass, these people have an incomparably huge influence on the Alliance.

Against this backdrop, Game 3 of the Mavericks-Lakers Western Conference semifinals kicked off at Staples Center.

Inspired by Old Buss, the fans at the scene, these rich people in Los Angeles are rarely very active in cheering for the Lakers.

Then, the inspired Lakers played a completely different temperament in the first two games.

Although the role players on the offensive end are still relatively average, the investment on the defensive end allows them to regain the feeling they had when they were in the dynasty.

In the face of this kind of defense, the Mavericks' offense tonight was clearly not as smooth as the previous two games.

And there is another important change, in addition to Kobe and O'Neal on the offensive end of the Lakers, Fisher has also stepped up.

As O'Neal thought, the Mavericks had to use joint defense to wrap O'Neal, and they had to take care of Kobe Bryant at the right time, and their defensive energy against Fisher was really limited.

And the point is that both O'Neal and Kobe are willing to pass the ball to Fisher.

As the game dragged on, the Lakers turned into a mode where scoring was concentrated on Kobe, O'Neal and Fisher, while the other role players who came on the court were desperately defending.

It may not be the best for the Lakers, but it works.

Coupled with the atmosphere of the game at home, the Lakers have always had the upper hand in the game.

In the end, the Lakers defeated the Mavericks 113-106 at home to win the first game of the series, changing the score to 1-2.

It was also the first time in the series that the Lakers scored more than 100 points.

In terms of personal data.

On the Lakers' side, Kobe Bryant didn't shoot too much from the field on 10-of-24 shooting, but he made a total of 17 free throws and finished with 35 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists.

O'Neal was still efficient, with 27 points, 13 rebounds, 5 assists and 4 blocks on 11-of-15 shooting.

In addition to the OK combination, Fisher also had 18 points on 12 shots, 6-of-12 shooting and 3-of-5 three-pointers.

From these data, it can be seen that the Lakers' targeted adjustments are very effective.

Looking at the Mavericks' side, Sun Hao and Nowitzki are still stable and both contribute 25+, and Bodi Loga is also 15+5+5 data.

But there is one statistic that is different from the previous two games, and that is three-point shooting.

They hit just seven of their 25 shots and had just 16 assists.

These are all effects brought about by the Lakers' defensive improvement.

After this game, Lakers fans, who had been aggrieved for two games, finally found an outlet.

"What am I talking about? Test! The Lakers are testing ahead! You see that the temptation is over, and it's not a real fight, and it's not hanging the Mavericks to beat it?! ”

"Do you really think that the dynasty team was picked up on the street? Underestimating your opponent will cost you! ”

"The Mavericks are the Mavericks, they will always be the team that watches the sky, they couldn't beat us last year, and it's the same this year!"

……

These comments, including Sun Hao, were not read much by the members of the Mavericks.

Even if they do, they don't care.

As for Nowitzki's poisoned milk or something, that's just a joke.

The real question now before the Mavericks coaching staff is how to deal with this adjustment from the Lakers.

Although Fisher may not be able to play that well in every game, the offensive threat is already there after this game.

Even taking a step back, Phil Jackson can also arrange some tactics accordingly according to the state of the role players, and someone will always be accurate.

That's the beauty of the NBA playoffs.

There are 7 games in a round, and the adjustment between the fields and even between the two halves of a game is like the confrontation between the two armies and the arrangement of troops, which is-for-tat and fascinating.

After talking to Harris and Johnson, Nelson Sr. didn't make any adjustments this time.

Because there's really no better adjustment.

In basketball, especially on the defensive end, no matter how you adjust, it's always five people on the court.

Your defense will always be focused.

Just like the Lakers' defense of the Mavericks, they also focus on Nowitzki and Sun Hao.

So because Fisher switched defenses when he got on the spot, it was a little too sensitive.

And as analyzed earlier, you guard against Fisher, if Horry and Devin George are also accurate, and you don't even take care of O'Neal and Kobe, then it really outweighs the loss.

Therefore, on the defensive end, the Mavericks coaching staff chose to respond to all changes without change.

They believe that what the team really needs to improve is attack.

The highest philosophy of the old Nelson's tactical system, the team with the most points wins the game.

As a result, the main content of the team's practice in the offseason is three-point shooting and positional warfare drills.

If your own offense is well played, it will work better than anything else.

And the situation on the defensive end of the Lakers' side is similar to theirs, and Sun Hao and Nowitzki's blocking and dismantling have not been solved, as long as others throw the ball that should be thrown.

Of course, in addition to that, the Mavericks did the other things that should have been done.

Johnson gave an impassioned speech to the players.

Roughly speaking, the series is over in five games.

Sun Hao was also quite touched when he heard it, and he didn't even think that Johnson meant the poisonous milk.

In fact, in addition to being more paranoid, Johnson is really suitable for being a head coach in other aspects.

Not to mention the NBA, when it comes to the NCAA, he is already an absolute well-known coach at the level of chicken soup.

After two days of preparation, everything is ready, and the curtain of the fourth battle is about to begin.

Just before starting, Scarlett gave Sun Hao a surprise.

No matter what the game was before, in order not to let her parents say more, as long as it was played in Los Angeles, Scarlett would not come to the scene.

But tonight, perhaps knowing the importance of this game to Sun Hao, he dressed in beautiful clothes and turned into a beautiful girl and sat in the front row of the Staples Center.

This scene moved Sun Hao a little, and also made the Mavericks team members excited.

They know how much Scarlett has added to Sun Hao's performance.

Don't say it, as far as Scarlett sits there, the effect may be more useful than the speech of "Little General" Johnson.

This is also the most special scenery of the Mavericks.

What's more, my sister-in-law is so good-looking.

The scene entered the opening ceremony, and the Staples Center was still full of people.

The cheers of Kobe and O'Neal when they appeared were also deafening.

The importance of this game for both teams cannot be overstated.

The Lakers won, the series was tied 2-2, BO7 became BO5, and the two sides returned to the same running line.

The Mavericks won, with a big score of 3-1, got 3 match points, and advanced one step away, but for the Lakers, it is a knife hanging from the neck, and when it falls depends on the face of the Mavericks.

So from the faces of the players on both sides, you can feel that tonight's game is destined to be very different.

"I have a hunch that tonight's game is going to be the most intense in the series."

On the broadcast seat, Cole saw the tense atmosphere on the field and made a prediction.

Kenny Smith on the side nodded in agreement.

He also had a vague hunch.

"Toot!"

With a whistle on the court, O'Neal turned the ball back into the Lakers half court and officially kicked off the game.

The Lakers still focused on O'Neal as soon as they came up.

The Mavericks also opened with a 2-3 defense.

Although O'Neal's score was lower than Kobe Bryant in the past two games, he knew who he should guard against at a glance at that efficiency.

O'Neal turned and hit hard but it didn't work, the Mavericks came up too fast, and he couldn't complete the offense in the first moment of receiving the ball, and it was even more difficult later.

He still flicked the ball into the bottom corner, where Devin George lay in ambush.

George catches the ball and makes a three-point shot.

Although he struggled in the first two games, he also had a 3-of-4 performance from the outside in the last game, and his performance was also quite good.

"Huh!"

With a crisp sound, George hit a three-point shot with a knife in his hand.

He has carried over the feeling of the last game to this one!

Phil Jackson couldn't help but clench his fists.

"That's not good news for the Mavericks."

In the stands, Kenny Smith couldn't help but say.

Although it was just a ball, it was obvious that the Lakers' role players had regained their confidence after the last game.

And shooting is such a wicked thing, the more confident you are, the more accurate he is.

Not to mention, if he feels this thing, he will be contagious on the field.

Kenny Smith is also in the same sentence.

Throughout the first half, the Lakers not only had Devin George's touch, but Fisher was also accurate, and even in the series so far, Horry, who had not opened on the outside before, shot the goal.

And after the shot, they were more confident on the defensive end.

O'Neal is also leading by example, except for the three-point line, he can't save it, and he is trying to expand the free throw line.

After the Lakers fell behind 0-2 again, it was like being slapped hard and woke up suddenly.

Now they are playing like the previous dynasty team with three consecutive championships!

At halftime, the Lakers led the Mavericks by eight points, 53-45.

"I have a hunch that the Lakers are going to win this game."

Cole made another prediction.

Kenny Smith nodded in agreement.

The Mavericks didn't play badly in the first half, but the Lakers were significantly stronger after solving their problems.

Well, if I have to say, it's the difference in playoff experience.

Although the Mavericks have a reasonable configuration, they are definitely inferior to the Lakers who have a dynasty in terms of playoff experience.

If they can get past the Mavericks this year, the Lakers are likely to have a sublimation.

Four or even five in a row is quite possible.

Previously, many fans were discussing whether the Lakers and Jordan's Bulls were stronger or weaker, and if they could really do four or five in a row, then that discussion would naturally have a result.

At half-time, the players of both teams went back to the locker room to rest.

As they walked to the players' tunnel, Sun Hao and Nowitzki glanced at each other.

The two of them didn't speak, but they both felt a strong sense of war in each other's eyes.

Is there anything in this world that can be easy to succeed in?

Yes.

Buy lottery tickets, find rich women, sugar daddy, there are always some shortcuts in life.

Is there an easy championship in this world?

No.

On the way to winning the championship, you need to beat one opponent after another, and round after round.

There is no doubt that such a game is basically accidental, and the championship is equal to the strongest team of the season, there is no doubt about it.

So beating Dynasty Lakers was easy?

The two of them hadn't thought of it that way before.

Emaciated camels are bigger than horses, and there are similar words in English.

In the first two games, the Lakers had problems of their own, and now they have corrected them.

It's the Lakers like that they have to face a real opponent.

It turns out that such an opponent is really strong.

Competition, too, is difficult.

Then, should they just give up?

No！

After two consecutive seasons of failure, they don't know what to give up at all.

Because.

A real man, he should rise to the challenge!
