Chapter 1347: Black Mamba Challenge, Warriors Fight Against Water
FoFoFo~ means 4-4-4, a direct sweep in the playoffs, a sweep in the rounds, and a direct win in the championship with the fewest games. This quote comes from the great high school player in NBA history who once taught Tang Qian's deceased celebrity Moses. Malone. The famous slogan shouted before the start of the 1983 playoffs. However, at that time, there were only 3 rounds to reach the finals. So that is, three "FoFoFo" is enough. Now, it's estimated that FoFoFoFo~ will be on the line.
But everyone knows what Kobe Bryant means, which is to sweep directly, sweep by round, and then complete the biggest playoff feat in NBA history. True. Invincible sweep, strong cup. In that case, the first few playoff records in history will remain with the Los Angeles Lakers. This is also what Kobe, a real purple and gold man, wants to do.
The combination is only one step short of a disappointment, but it has already been voted the strongest team in the 21st century.
Relying on the crazy playoff domination of losing only one game that year. It's a benchmark. Same as a triple crown.
If it really happens, the Warriors' 73 wins will be immediately forgotten. Because that's the biggest thing.
Invincible in the playoffs.
Truly invincible.
At that time, even the Bulls couldn't "sour" anything. Because winning all of the playoffs means champions. There aren't any black dots that can be used to spray. That is, a strong endorsement. Just like the Lakers in '01.
Every time I mention it, it's an absolute legend.
Regular season record? That year, the Lakers' regular season record was 56 wins, but will anyone say this problem? No, it won't.
So after Kobe Bryant proposed this "Black Mamba Challenge", the entire Internet was boiling, and everyone was talking about it.
And coincidentally, the Cavaliers also won, and are currently undefeated in the division, just like the Lakers!
In this way, it is interesting, and supporters on both sides began to shout "FoFoFo" rhetoric.
For a while, the Warriors won 73 teams, and the light was somewhat dim.
However, there are also reasonable people and experts who call for it to be too early to say this, there are many examples of 0-2 falling behind and being overturned, and it is not too late to wait for the Lakers to win the third game. Indeed, now 0-2, there are still a lot of variables. In the end, it is a 73-win team, and it is impossible that there is no ability to resist at all. Therefore, everyone's enthusiasm has calmed down a lot. However, this is only a temporary depression, in case the Lakers defeat the Warriors again on the 22nd, then even the high-pressure water gun will not be able to suppress the enthusiasm of the people.
There is no one who doesn't want to be able to witness a real "FoFoFo" once.
However, there are always people who don't want to do that.
This person is the president of the NBA, Adam. Sivar. It has been said a long time ago that he, unlike Stern, thinks everything about his alliance economic interests. For this, he can compromise, such as changing the schedule and dates of the match. However, he also has his own insistence. That's the playoffs, you can play as much as you can. He just came to power last year, and he did this from the first round, which caused many people to resist and dissatisfied. He himself felt that this was a bit too much. So this year, he didn't plan to meddle in the front.
It all started with the divisional finals.
This also coincides with the original time and space.
For the sake of huge playoff gains, he must intervene in the division finals, otherwise he will lose a lot.
The league only collects 6% of the ticket revenue per game in the regular season, and 45% in the playoffs! It's all money that goes directly into the alliance. How could it not be? And you know, the tickets to the playoffs are getting higher and higher, and each game is more expensive than the other. For example, in the regional finals, a game can earn about tens of millions of dollars in tickets. That's not much. If it is the finals, such as the cavalry battle in the original time and space, the ticket price is about 1700~1800 US dollars. That's still the average price! The most expensive is more than 20,000 US dollars! And the more the game is played later, the ticket price is not set in stone. Will continue to rise! For example, the original space-time universe Yong and the Cavaliers' tie-breaker are as high as 3612.8 US dollars! One ticket!
Or the average price!
It's a pity that it didn't fight, and it ended early. Direct sweep. This makes Adam. Behind the scenes, Sival burst into tears. Heartache.
In 2016, the robbery was also 2,800 US dollars, and it was still priceless, and the most expensive was 500000 US dollars!
Just ask you about the venue of 20,000 people, and the number of high-level seats, what is the total price?
If the Universe Warrior and the Cavaliers really hit the tie-break that year, at least one game ticket revenue will be more than 70 million US dollars! There will be more, not less! So, how much is 45% of the league's split? That's more than 30 million beautiful knives! It's just one game! Just ask if you're afraid!
The divisional finals are not so high, but there are quite a few.
Especially at this important node, even more so, if you hit the tie-break, at least it will be a ticket price of thousands of dollars.
That's undoubtedly a lot of money.
And the ticket price of Kobe's retirement battle in the original time and space has also soared to an average of 1766 US dollars, and the most expensive is 10 US dollars!
To put it simply, Kobe's salary for one game is more than enough. And because it's the regular season, the league can only take 6%, why don't the Lakers make money? After all, BA is also a business alliance. So this routine, Adam. Sivar is about to die. It doesn't matter if you see it. Anyway, real money is indispensable.
Something rare in history will definitely grab seven, and it is also his masterpiece.
However, if the referee team joins and can't beat the opponent, then there is no way.
The president is also very weak.
After all, it is necessary to operate within a certain range of rules. It's not an infinite operation.
This bottom line Adam. Sival is still quite clear that he will not cross the line.
In the end, he still wants the alliance to make money, not to bring down the alliance.
So before the third game of the Eastern and Western finals, he made "instructions" to let the referees consciously help a little.
It's best to try to play as many divisional finals as possible on both sides.
To be able to grab seven, that's naturally the best.
I held back before, but now it's the divisional finals, you can't help but let the league make some money, right?
Everyone should be moral and take a step back.
Of course, people from the outside world will not know about these things, so they are still discussing whether it is possible for the first time in history, and the east and west are all swept to the finals stage. In that case, it will be too interesting. It's exciting to think about.
Even if this is possible, the president of the family will not agree to it.
If that's the case, it's going to be a lot less income.
There is a famous saying in the United States that no one will have a hard time with American knives, and it is okay to use it here.
But will it be as the president intended? It's hard to say. In the end, there is still a limit to help, and it is not a bottomless bias. In this way, even if the team is not favored, there is still a chance to win. It's just relatively low. For example, the cosmic courage of the original time and space, isn't it just sweeping all the way? The Finals were still swept by the Knights? For example, in the playoffs between the Lakers and the Rockets last year, isn't it the same, the referees were biased, and in the end they were swept away by the Lakers. Didn't play the next game.
Therefore, the partial gang is not omnipotent, if it is really strong, it can still destroy the opponent.
Forcibly "five to eight".
However, the Lakers don't know about this "cattiness" yet, and on May 22, the Western Conference Finals were moved to the Staples Center in Los Angeles. The atmosphere here is warm. The Warriors swept away the ease of the previous games, and the whole team looked very dignified. Curry was interviewed with just a few words: We're going to win this game.
Kerr also put away his smile and answered reporters' questions very seriously: Obviously, the Lakers are a team at the same level as us, so there can be no more carelessness and carelessness. As for tonight's results, all I can say is that we'll do our best.
Compared with the Warriors, the Lakers seem to have a much more relaxed atmosphere, and in the end they are now leading 2-0, so everyone is quite positive in answering media questions.
When asked what Kobe Bryant said on Twitter, "FoFoFo", Tang Qian replied: Why not?
The 72-game winning streak has been broken, so why can't the best record in the playoffs be broken?
It's just refreshed together. Save yourself the trouble later, right?
Of course, this is a bit of a joke, but whether it is serious or not, only the Lakers themselves know.
In the locker room, Kerr was explaining the tactical points of the game to the Warriors players.
After speaking, he also fully mobilized the team's "angry and low" emotions, and said softly: "The Lakers now have an absolute advantage. Although there were 4 games and 4 chances, everyone knew that the so-called 4 times were only nominal, and if this one was lost, it would be almost an impossible task to turn the tables around in a 0-3 environment. So in fact, for the team that fell behind 0-2 in the series, losing the third game is equivalent to going home and fishing. So, I hope everyone understands that this game is actually the knockout game for our Golden State Warriors. If you lose, you're just surviving. There is no essential difference between it and hanging a breath. He said and glanced around for a moment before continuing to speak: "In this game, either we continue the suspense and continue 1-2, or we will simply admit defeat." ”
"When the time comes, when people in later generations mention this 73 wins, it will be a stepping stone for the Lakers in the playoffs."
"If this is what you want, then forget it, if not, this game is a battle of life and death!"
"There's no way back for us!"
"Win away from home, go home and we'll still be winners!"
As soon as this game began, the Warriors put on a lineup that was stunned.
Go directly to the five-small lineup, and don't talk nonsense with the Lakers, it's clear that you want to fight against you!
The Lakers are not in a hurry, it is still a normal lineup, Tang Qian + Randle + Ariza + Butler + Rondo. At the beginning of the game, the Lakers continued the policy of the first two games, focusing on the interior. But this ball was stealed by the opponent at the beginning. Then the Warriors made a wave of quick pushes, and it was a three-pointer when it was pulled up!
Hit!
But the Warriors are in this style, and the Lakers are no stranger, as long as they play their rounds steadily. The Lakers gave a low post drop pass, and the result was ...... It's been disturbed again! Slow motion shows that it was Randall who touched the ball last!
The Warriors attacked, Curry drew the defense, passed the ball, accelerated on the back, turned sideways, and suddenly pulled away from the 45-degree three-point line on the right side. The Lakers' Rondo certainly won't let him catch the ball easily and chase after him. The Warriors went straight to the pick-and-roll, but were drilled by Rondo and broken. But I didn't expect there to be a second block. The Lakers did not hesitate and immediately made substitutions. Ariza lunged forward to interfere. In terms of defensive system, the Lakers have done a very successful job, basically doing a good job of linking and backhanding. But where did you think that the Warriors were actually a cover wall again???
After Ariza was blocked, he looked confused, and Curry held the ball, how many did you all block? Don't grab rebounds anymore?
Hey, you're right.
At the beginning of today, the Warriors' tactic was to give up the frontcourt rebounding for the time being and go all out to attack the outside!
Even the temporary long rebounds in the front court have been given up!
This is one of the best things the Warriors have done before, and they are the league's best in long rebounding. After all, he shoots a lot of three-point shots, so he has always focused on getting such long frontcourt rebounds. This is something that no one else can learn if they want to. Because the three-point shot is not as strong as the Warriors. In that case, it would be a big bet for Cole. The series has hit this point, and in fact, Cole also knows that he has to fight against the water. So, I really made a lot of determination to set it up.
In this kind of game, if you lose the bet, then it is a complete defeat.
Kerr now has to admit that the Lakers are strong, unexpectedly, and he overestimated the Warriors before. The Warriors weren't as good as he thought they were. Yes not at all! Even if the opponent is not the Lakers, he feels the hardship of the Warriors on a playoff scale. Compared with the suppleness of the regular season, it is completely 108,000 miles away.
He even thinks that many teams in the playoffs can play against them.
At this point, it is impossible to say that he thought this way in the regular season.
The regular season was too smooth sailing, and Kerr was used to thinking as a superior. I always feel that the opponent's strength is not as good as my side. Now, after being directly 0-2 by the Lakers, he suddenly woke up. The only remaining fantasies before have also disappeared. The Warriors, in the playoffs, weren't that strong.
He now recognized the problem himself.
It's time to face it.
And so there is this Warriors team tonight. The whole momentum is completely different. It has really entered the state of full combat.
Curry three points, brush ~, hit! The Warriors started tonight with a 6-0 run!
This is something that many people have not thought of before. The Warriors got off to such a ferocious start.
Forget it, after the Lakers scored a goal, the opposite side actually hit another three-pointer to go in!!
This suddenly put the Lakers in a disadvantage. Larry. Brown was also a little hesitant at this place, and he should call a timeout, because the Lakers players are also a little flustered right now. It may be that in the previous 2 games, the Warriors were pressed badly, so they were a little careless. Therefore, after a tie, the Warriors seized the conversion opportunity and another pull-up shot. From Andrey. Iguodala. Although it is 2 points, how long has it been in a row? The margin is 11-2.
Larry. Brown finally took a timeout at this point.
PS: Well, this scene is the key, whether it's a sweep or a gentleman's sweep, you can talk about your opinions, Xiaozi has thought about the plot in both directions~ Come on, leave a message~
And then this is the first shift, and there will be oh ~~~~~~ tonight
Set a small goal first, such as 1 second to remember: Book Keju mobile version reading website:
