The three-day offseason seems a bit long.

While fans are waiting for the Finals, they are also watching all sorts of things about the 2006 draft.

According to the latest news, the Raptors, who have the top pick, are very interested in Andrea Bagnani, a big man from Italy.

In Bagnani's draft template column, Nowitzki's name is prominently written.

Like Nowitzki, the big man from Europe, stands at 2.11m tall and has the same agility as Nowitzki, as well as a whopping 37 percent shooting percentage from beyond the field in the Europa League.

Nowitzki's success has made Bagnani the first draft pick in Europe.

Durant's draft profile is also favorable, and he is predicted to be drafted by the Cavaliers in TNT's draft predictions.

Cleveland, where the Cavaliers are based, is a "barren land" of the big four sports leagues, where there has never been a championship.

Durant has a chance to be the savior there.

However, in ESPN's prediction, Durant was predicted to be selected by Houston until the fifth pick.

The reason given by ESPN is also very good, and Durant's inability to push 84KG shows that he has a certain probability that he will not be able to adapt to the physical confrontation in the NBA.

If you don't open your eyes, this type of player who didn't play was not without it before the NBA.

Of course, there are also some rumors that the SuperSonics are also interested in Durant and are trying to trade up for draft picks.

And one of the interesting things is that Durant's draft template has two names written in it.

The upper limit is Maddie, and the lower limit is easy to build a union.

The two templates look very interesting, not to mention the strength, there is a big difference in position.

However, this just shows the uncertainty of Durant's draft predictions.

These are the topics that fans talk about during the off-season.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the third game of the finals kicked off in Los Angeles.

The Staples Center was packed, and the enthusiasm of the fans was written on their faces.

As the fans talked about in the forum, the Lakers are in a good situation right now, and fans can't wait to see the team defend their title at home.

Especially if the third game can also be won, then the Lakers will be invincible 3-0.

Never before in the history of the NBA has a 3-0 lead in the playoffs been reversed, let alone the Finals.

During the pre-game warm-up, the Lakers were in full condition, but they didn't show smugness.

This shows that the Lakers have practiced well in the past three days, but they have also done a lot of mental homework.

There are two sides to everything, and the relaxed mentality of the Lakers who easily defeated the Warriors led to a little underdog when they beat the Suns.

But it was precisely because of that experience that the Lakers maintained absolute focus on the game until they successfully defended their title.

When looking at the form of the Lakers, fans have enough reason to believe that this Lakers team can finally defend the title and win tonight's game.

But what came as a little surprise was the mental state of the Wizards.

Theoretically, they should have been demoralized, but they also showed the same energy? It can even be said that it is a little excited.

It felt like ...... Well, the ambition is to win.

This state of affairs is surprising.

It is worth mentioning that Jordan, as the small owner of the Wizards, also came to Los Angeles with the team.

When warming up before the game? He also went to the Wizards halftime to talk and laugh with the Wizards? It looks like he's in a good mood.

"If I'm not mistaken? Maybe Michael gave each of them a huge gift, maybe a free nightclub charter. ”

On the commentary bench, Brin's partner Mark Jackson teased.

Does anyone know that Jordan likes to gamble? and sexy girls.

Jackson retired after last season? After retiring from the army, he worked for ESPN as a professional commentator.

Because of his humorous commentary style, he had a similar trajectory to Barkley's back then, and he quickly became a celebrity on ESPN.

This can be seen in the fact that he played with Brin in the Finals.

Brin on the side was amused.

"I think a pair of Michael's signature sneakers is more likely."

Brin continued.

"Anyway? Or a nightclub? Sneakers or not? The Wizards all look different tonight? This may surprise us. ”

Mark Jackson said casually.

But that's what he said casually? But I didn't think it would be fulfilled in the end.

The game starts soon? The Wizards' opening tactics and play-up haven't changed much.

It is still Maddie who is the main defender of Sun Hao, and Hamilton's tactical position is still improved at the beginning.

That didn't help the Wizards take the lead, though, as the Lakers were in good shape.

As a result, the two teams have been in a stalemate from the beginning as in the last game.

Is it really like Carlyle said? Two teams evenly matched? It's not as disparity as the big score suggests.

This stalemate ended up being the same as the last game? It lasted until the last critical moment!

But this time? Before the two teams began to compete for key ball ability, Carlisle once again sacrificed the shark cutting tactic!

O'Neal was constantly sent to the free-throw line and then was consistent...... Two missed penalties.

This also puts the Lakers on the back foot.

Especially Phil Jackson as head coach? I had to start doing multiple-choice questions again.

And this time Carlisle "norms" to use shark slashing tactics, so that Jackson is not suitable for any choice.

Jackson finally chose to replace O'Neal early, and the Lakers' interior strength was greatly reduced.

Especially on the offensive end, which made Carlisle adopt a crazy three-man package for Sun Hao.

That is, at the most critical moment, the Lakers' regular season exposed the problem of "role players can't play without O'Neal" again.

Neither Walker, Ariza, nor Payton could get the ball to the basket.

The Wizards also took advantage of the situation to play a wave in the final moments, and finally defeated the Lakers 103-95 and pulled one back on the road!

At the end of the game, the Wizards players celebrated wildly on the court.

The victory saved them from a 3-0 draw and pulled themselves back from the brink.

Jordan also gave a standing ovation at the first time after the game, and then walked over and hugged the Wizards players one by one.

As a result, his previous saliva was not in vain.

At the end, he gave head coach Carlisle a big hug.

After this game, Carlisle became one of the few coaches who could use shark slashing tactics correctly, apart from Nelson Sr. and Popovich.

Carlisle's learning pace gives him every reason to believe that the former can lead the Wizards to a championship.

Maybe it's this year, maybe it's next year.

At the other end of the court, Sun Hao also showed his gradually maturing character, calling his teammates together to encourage him after the loss.

"We still have two home games, win them, we can still win the trophy at home, believe in ourselves!"

This kind of post-race encouragement is necessary.

Just like if you anger a woman, the effect of coaxing at the first time is far better than the effect of coaxing again after the overnight.

The Lakers regained their confidence.

Two days later, Game 4 of the series continued at the Staples Center.

This game is particularly important for both sides.

For the Wizards, if they can't win this game, then the 1-3 situation will push them into a real desperate situation.

At that time, if they wanted to win the Lakers again, it would mean that they would have to play a wave of three consecutive Finals wins, which was as difficult as the sky.

For the Lakers, if they can't win this game, then they will be tied 2-2 with the Wizards and dragged into Tianwang Mountain.

Not to mention returning to the same starting line, it is more important to lose two home games in a row, which will be a huge blow to the team's morale.

What's even more deadly is that even if Tianwang Mountain is won, the next two games will be played on the home court of the Wizards!

Even if the Lakers have a G6 grandson, it will be very difficult to win again.

Sometimes I have to sigh that the best-of-7 system looks like a lot of games, but the victory or defeat of each game has a great impact on the entire series.

No one can afford to lose, and that was on full display at the start of the game, with both teams putting up the highest intensity of defense they could from the start.

The intensity of the confrontation on the field is high, comparable to the 09~10 season finals in history.

From time to time, people turn on their backs, but they don't lose the beauty of the game.

Of course, the performance of superstars such as Yao Mai, Sun Hao, and O'Neal in the confrontation is even more outstanding.

All kinds of difficult confrontations make people's blood rush.

The Lakers once played a wave in the third quarter to stretch the score to double digits, but the Wizards, led by Yao Mai, quickly caught up with the score.

By the end of the third quarter, the two sides were tied.

By the fourth quarter, the scene didn't improve.

"If there was a 10-point deficit in this year's finals, I would be very, very surprised."

Such a situation made Brin, an old fritter who had been on the commentary seat for more than 20 years, couldn't help but sigh like this.

In the final moments of the game, Carlisle repeated his old tricks and once again sacrificed the shark slashing tactic.

Poor Phil Jackson was so old that he had to start doing multiple-choice questions again.

Having experience from the previous game, this time he chose to put O'Neill on the court.

O'Neal was constantly sent to the free-throw line, and then smashed the ball to the basket as he did in the previous game.

This time, Sun Hao's verbal encouragement didn't work again.

In addition to mentality, the more important thing about free throws is ability.

That's not even something that can be done with practice alone.

There are many players in NBA history who have made poor free throws, but very few can actually make a qualitative difference through training.

Take O'Neal, for example, a problem that has accompanied him throughout his career and has been as much of a headache as losing weight.

He has also tried to change his free-throw position, and even once used one-handed free throws, but all of them did not work.

As a result, the Lakers were beaten by the Wizards in a different way, and finally lost 101-106.

Just like no one expected the Lakers to win two consecutive road games before the Finals, no one expected the Wizards to win two straight games on the road after returning to Los Angeles in the series!

The 2-2 score may be something many people can think of, but the process is really unexpected!

By the time the fourth game was over, the fans in the forum were already feeling like they were going crazy.

And unlike the one-sided atmosphere of the previous two games, this time the attitude of the fans showed a very obvious polarization.

There are still a lot of fans who are supporting the Lakers, but there are also a significant number of fans who are starting to switch to the Wizards.

The interesting thing is that as the reporter went to dig into the reason why the Wizards were able to turn the tables around, Jordan's speech was also exposed.

Inadvertently, the god of basketball pretended to be a big force again.

"Jordan: I didn't expect it, in addition to playing well, my speech level is also at the level of President Mountain!"

"Jordan: When you can afford all the failures, that's when you dominate the game!"

"I don't know if you noticed a detail, both away Jordans were on the court, but the Wizards didn't lose! Is this no spell? ”

"I said before that Jordan couldn't see people, didn't he get Yao and T-mac? Michael I'm not the Jordan I used to be! ”

"I think Carlisle's coaching was also indispensable, his shark slashing tactics played a decisive role in the game at the last minute!"

"Carlisle's learning speed is terrifying, if the head coach of the Mavericks is him, the Mavericks have won the championship this season!"

"Kuban go dig him up!"

"You want to be beautiful, will Jordan let him go? What's more, the Wizards' lineup is no worse than that of the Mavericks, and Carlisle has no reason to leave! ”

"Now the question is, how are the Lakers going to play the next game! If you lose three home games in a row......"

"This game is really up and down, and the Lakers are very passive in losing two home games in a row!"

"I have to sigh again, Shaq is really old! These two games are aimed at the completion of the lag! ”

"Yes, Shaq is old, and he didn't shoot free throws before, but most of the time he didn't have a decisive moment because the Lakers had won."

"In the twilight of the strong man, I think the Lakers' defense of the title this year is very likely to be in suspense."

"Shit! Lakers Championship! "A message from the Lakers 95 God.

"Brother, although you are a fan of Sun, the current situation is not something that can be changed by personal ability!"

"Look at what happened to Andre Bogut, and look at what Carter said, the game is by play, not by mouth."

"You don't know how to play, Sun is the greatest player in the world, he's going to step up!" A message from the Lakers 95 God.

"There's something wrong with this man's brain, right?"

"Hehe, wait and see, you don't know how strong Sun is!" A message from the Lakers 95 God.

……

In Chicago, Durant, who had just finished a joint tryout, was in the hotel at the speed of his hands, boarding his trumpet and exchanging scolding with a group of users.

He found himself enjoying it.

Even, when he felt that an account was not enough, he was ready to apply for a few more accounts.

There are many things to be said to be effective, and just one account will seem weak.

Thinking of this, he picked up the crispy noodles next to him and poured a large mouthful into his mouth, and then began to apply for new trumpets.

At this moment, it was as if he had opened the door to a new world!
