Chapter 425: Sweeping Promotion!
On April 29, 1995, the Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Warriors again at home, winning two consecutive wins in the playoffs, as the Lakers' leading player, Lin Han once again won a triple-double in the game, and also won a triple-double in the playoffs for two consecutive games, as the league's strongest scoring player, although Lin Han's score in these two games is not a lot, but there is no doubt that compared to Lin Han's score, Lin Han's triple-double in the game is definitely the most dazzling.
At the end of this game, as the league's legendary all-around king, Larry Bird, a player who almost averaged a triple-double per game in a single season in the playoffs, even directly wondered if Lin Han was going to be ready to play a single-season playoff average triple-double this season!
If in the past, everyone still had some doubts about whether Lin Han had such strength and ability, then now, no one will question whether Lin Han has such ability, the playoffs have reached a triple-double in two consecutive games, it seems that this number seems to be very ordinary, but in the entire league, there are almost only a handful of players who can score a triple-double in the playoffs, and Lin Han is undoubtedly the most recent!
Even if Lin Han can get a triple-double in a row, it doesn't mean that Lin Han can average a triple-double per game in the playoffs, but at least there is this possibility, whether it was Larry Bird or Magic, these two were a little worse before, and Lin Han, judging from these two games this season, it is really very possible.
Of course, whether he scored a triple-double in the playoffs or not, Lin Han actually didn't care so much, because this number couldn't bring him anything, except for skill points. As for skill points, these are gold-level skill points. Lin Han is still really not lacking at all, in this case. Lin Han really didn't think about averaging any game or how many triple-doubles in a row in the playoffs, it was just the need of the team, or the need to face the Warriors as a team.
Because when the Lakers are facing the Warriors, with the defensive characteristics of the Warriors and the offensive characteristics of the Lakers, Lin Han's assists are absolutely impossible, plus Lin Han's rebounding ability has always been very guaranteed as long as he appears on the inside, which is also a direct guide As long as Lin Han plays the Princeton system, the probability of a triple-double is extremely high, even Lin Han himself is quite surprised. If the Lakers' Princeton can be a little stronger or more stable, with Lin Han's status in the team, it is not impossible for him to play an average triple-double per game like the previous big O, of course, for the current Lin Han, he still doesn't think so much.
Of course, just because Lin Han doesn't want to do so doesn't mean that others won't think so, especially those media experts who have been touting Lin Han for some time. These guys have been frantically shouting about what Lin Han's future will be like recently, and the expectations for Lin Han's career are almost to the point of madness, in this case, Lin Han has a triple-double in two consecutive games in this series between the Lakers and the Warriors. Does this mean that Lin Han will really change in the future? Even if there is no change, at least there will not be a cancer like now, right?
Although many people's attitude towards Lin Han's style of play, which can be very cancerous, has indeed eased after Lin Han showed his talent for being a team, this does not mean that these guys accept the fact that Lin Han chose like Jordan. You must know that although Jordan did not have such a terrifying team talent as Lin Han back then, Jordan also had such a choice back then. In the end, this guy was under the gnashing of teeth of many experts, after the finals showdown with the magicians. Jordan, who completed his last obsession, finally abandoned his intention to become a better team player, and chose individual scoring in the choice of team and individual, although Jordan carried the championship trophy at that time, so that everyone in the world had nothing to say, but there is no doubt that even if the world has nothing to say, it does not mean that the world really has no opinion on Jordan, and in the end, this opinion completely broke out when Jordan's triple crown was achieved.
Of course, with Lin Han's cautious Cheng Dù in the NBA, Lin Han naturally will not give these guys a chance to break out collectively like Jordan, and these guys may not treat Lin Han like Jordan, but even so, these guys can see a lot of things from their expectations for Lin Han's future.
And Lin Han's three consecutive doubles is definitely the one thing these guys want to see the most!
Therefore, when the second game of the playoffs between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Warriors ended, although in recent times, Lin Han had a feeling of being in the middle of the day in the American media and public opinion, and after the second game between the Warriors and the Lakers, this feeling was not only like the feeling of being in the sky, but even Lin Han could smell a little bit of himself as if he had become a media darling!
That's right, after two triple-doubles in a row, what surprised Lin Han himself was that he felt as if he had really become a media darling, just like Hardaway and Hill at the beginning, he became a media darling!
Not to mention that Lin Han has some incredible feelings at this time, even the other players and staff on the Lakers team feel similar.
I have to say that this year's playoffs are quite special for Lin Han and the entire Lakers team, even with the experience of winning the championship last season, Lin Han never thought that he would be in such a situation in the playoffs this year.
"Okay, Lin, don't think about it so much, let's just say the same thing, enjoy the current situation"
As for Johnson, the most experienced Magic player on the whole team, although the Lakers' leading point guard is also a little surprised, his mentality is really better than Lin Han.
However, just like the magician said, no matter what the public opinion of the outside world is at this time, what Lin Han can do now is really enjoy it, does he really think that he can influence these guys? Of course it can't be, these guys don't look at this time It's quite good for Lin Han, but when all the festivals will disappear, no one knows. After all, Lin Han looked more in line with these guys' appetites than Hill and Hardaway right now. But Lynham isn't Hardaway or Hill after all, and the situation of this series with the Warriors isn't a game he's prepared to play for a long time.
So. For Lin Han, he is really just like the magic said to enjoy these things, and now the most important thing for the entire Lakers team is to win the first round of the playoffs!
Although in the first two games, the Lakers almost won by a big margin, but because of the special relationship and grievances between the Warriors and the Lakers, it is impossible for this team to admit defeat in advance, and after the two home games, the Lakers also need to go to the away game to face the Warriors.
Although the entire Lakers, or even the entire league, don't think the Lakers will lose to the Warriors in this series. But there is no doubt that the Warriors will drag the Lakers in the last two games, this is still an unknown thing, especially as the Lakers' opponent Spurs are also quite smooth in the first round, facing the Nuggets, the third team in the West does not seem to be challenged too much, which means that if the Spurs can pass the first round more easily, there will be more preparation time, and if the Lakers are really dragged by the Warriors, Then the preparation will not be as adequate as the Spurs!
Plus the strength of the two teams that are already extremely close. In the end, it will be quite difficult to predict what the second-round series between the Spurs and Lakers will become.
So, for the Lakers, they don't have to do the same thing as the Spurs. But again, the Warriors can't be held back, and it's best to finish the first-round series in three or four games, as the Spurs are doing right now. There's a good chance that this team will be able to sweep the Diggers in three games, and this round of matchups is not at all like it was before the playoffs began. The fight was fierce as the experts expected!
Of course, with the strength of the Lakers. It is not very difficult for the Lakers to sweep the Warriors, after all, it seems that the two sides seem to have the Lakers restrained the Warriors, but this is only on the surface, in fact, when it comes to the game, no one knows what kind of situation it will be, especially for the Warriors who have no way to retreat now, if they don't want to be insulted by being swept, the next game is almost a must-win!
If in the second game, the Warriors were not resolute enough when changing formations in order to win, then in the next game, the Warriors who have no way back will definitely not have any reservations when changing formations, as for whether this lack of reservations is good or bad, everyone will not know, but there is one point, in their first home court, in the opponent's first away away to their own team, a little risky behavior can make the Warriors more advantageous.
Therefore, after the end of the second game with the Warriors, the Lakers, who were originally a team with a 2-0 lead, should have relaxed a little, but in the end, the Lakers actually did not relax at all, and almost went directly from Los Angeles to Golden State on the afternoon of the second day after the game.
According to Lin Han and Magic, the next game will definitely not give the Warriors a chance to get up, after all, although no one thinks that the Warriors can pose any big threat to the Lakers now, but in the NBA, there is a statement that is valid, that is, without winning a road game or losing a home game, the playoffs are equivalent to not starting, although the first round of the best-of-five system is a little bit incorrect. But if the Warriors really keep their home court in Game 3, then the Lakers will really be ugly, although it will not say that they will lose the series, but they will definitely be dragged by the other side, and this is definitely not what the Lakers want.
Therefore, in the third game between the Lakers and the Warriors, the Warriors have a reason to win, and the Lakers also have a reason to win!
"What time is it now, you guys are still doing this for little things, don't you want to play this series?"
Of course, at this time, the entire Lakers team is preparing for the third game between the Lakers and the Warriors, and on the other hand, the Warriors are actually similar, as the head coach of the Warriors, Harris is in a pretty bad mood after the first two games, after all, as a rather ambitious coach. He definitely doesn't think that leading the team to the playoffs and completing a round of tours is his ultimate goal.
If it's just a round of the playoffs, then he doesn't even need to make a trip to the playoffs. It's not as important as having a pick, but at the moment. The Warriors' first round is almost a foregone conclusion, and he doesn't even have any way to change such a situation, and yes, he doesn't think he has the ability to reverse this extremely unfavorable situation right now!
It's just that even he is a little powerless to reverse this situation, facing Lin Han who restrained the Warriors, he really has no way, but this does not mean that he is really willing to be swept out by the Lakers and Lin Han like this, even if this series is really a shameful round. But he doesn't want to be swept away!
However, one thing that makes Harris quite helpless is that although he is still full of fighting spirit, still thinking about the team's victory, and still thinking about whether he can find a tactic to close the strength between him and the Lakers, as a player of the Warriors, in fact, after two big defeats, the feelings of these players are actually quite low.
If the Lakers won one game, the second game can be found back on the court. So for these Warriors players, this is acceptable, and it can be expected that they will give the Lakers a little bit when they return to their home court, after all. Although they fell behind 0-2, they did not lose at home and still had a chance to turn the tables. But the first two games were not just one big defeat, but both big defeats. Two big defeats in a row, and even the shape of the game is even harsher than the score. What does this mean? That means the Warriors don't have any chance against the Lakers!
Although Harris is reluctant to admit it, it is also a fact that the Warriors have no chance when facing the Lakers, and the whole team is almost on the verge of collapse.
After all, the player and the coach are not the same, the pursuit of the two sides is different, for the player, they have no meaning except to win, defeat, since it must fail, then is it necessary to work hard?
As the head coach of the NBA, even if it is a game that must be lost, coaches can also have pursuits, if they can make a classic tactical system or style of play in the game, even if they lose in the end, as a head coach, they may even be famous, which is not just talk.
So, to put it simply, the pursuit of players and coaches is not the same when it comes to failure.
As one of the most famous coaches in the NBA, Harris certainly knows this, so he can understand the somewhat sluggish atmosphere of the Warriors players at this time, and this atmosphere is nothing in his opinion, as long as he can find a way to deal with the Lakers in the game, so that these sluggish Warriors players can see hope, these guys will definitely wake up immediately, so the morale of the Warriors players at this time is not so important, the important thing is whether he Harris himself has enough ability.
To be able to see this in the face of such low morale on his own team, Harris can indeed be called a manager with enough intelligence and vision, just as he also chooses to do nothing when dealing with team infighting, because he knows very well what the main and secondary contradictions of these problems encountered by the team are, and how to do it best.
It's just that he is such a head coach with a lot of intelligence and means, and when facing the current situation of the Warriors, Harris is still quite helpless.
Because, at this time, the Warriors are not only demoralized, but at this time, these Warriors players actually began to blame each other in training, because Sprewell was ready to tear his face with the team's veterans after the start of this series, which led to a rather bad relationship between the two sides off the court.
If the Warriors are in a good situation at this time, the Warriors' group of bigwigs will take care of the overall situation and will not do anything to Sprewell, even if this kid is really ready to leave this season, these veterans of the Warriors will not sacrifice the team's playoff record to really force Sprewell, and in the same way, even if Sprewell is ready to leave, if there is a lot of hope for the playoffs. He won't go into any infighting after tearing his face, because he also wants to be able to stay or leave with better results.
So. For both sides of the torn face, as the head coach of the team. Harris had always been on the side, just like he had in the regular season, because he knew that the two sides couldn't get together.
It's just that what he never expected was that the team's playoff schedule this season was so bad, completely beyond his imagination, with two consecutive defeats, leaving the team without any hope of winning in advance, when the team didn't even have any hope of winning the playoffs. The new and old players of the Warriors who have torn their faces have almost all the contradictions at this time erupted!
And in the end, there was such a scene as now, Harris, who had always been more inclined to inaction in the team's infighting, and Harris, who had always been relatively mild in the team, roared almost directly under the incredible eyes of all the Warriors players at this time.
It has to be said that although Harris has not yet achieved a decent result with the team, the Warriors have been affected by trades and major injuries this season, and the team's new head coach can lead the team to the playoffs and have a record of 50+ wins. Such a result has actually been recognized by the entire Warriors, as many Warriors fans have been saying, if the Warriors' players can be aligned this season, they are not unable to play 60+ wins. Harris can be said to be recognized by most people in the team, both players and fans.
So, the former old Nelson's assistant. It's quite prestigious in the team, and that prestige is definitely not because of old Nelson. If he really has a foothold in the team because of the relationship with Nelson Sr., as a player who hates Nelson Sr. Sprewell will never approve of him, and in fact, on the team, Sprewell is quite recognizable to Harris, which proves that Harris is not firmly established in the Warriors because of the relationship with Nelson Sr.
It's just that at this time, even if Harris's prestige in the team is high, in the face of such a situation, Harris actually doesn't know how to solve it, although he can make the two sides ostensibly unable to play in the team, but after he suppressed the conflict between the two servants, Sprewell, one of the team's most important players, gave in, but after the young player gave in, he still glared at Tim Hardaway and Chris Mullin fiercely before turning around and leaving the team's training gym.
And after Spurreville left, looking at the back of the young leader of the team, Harris was also a little helpless.
Collapse, the current Warriors are like a collapse, this is definitely not just talking, the Warriors at this time can almost only be described by the word collapse!
"It's a frustrating situation"
Watching his team being made like this by the Lakers, or by the Lakers' No. 24 player, Harris really had a feeling of wanting to cry without tears at this time, he really didn't think that this series would become like this.
So, at this time, when Harris thought of the scene before the start of this series, he and his team were so high-spirited that they didn't take the Lakers seriously, the head coach of the Warriors was doubly ashamed.
There is no doubt that Harris overestimated the strength of his own team and underestimated the strength of the Lakers or Limham.
Just like the recent praise of Lin Han by the entire American public opinion, Harris is actually more recognized in the face of these touts, just like many people say, Lin Han may not have reached the top in the NBA in terms of real strength, and he is not the first player in the NBA, but in terms of control of the game, Lin Han is already the league's leading player, not only that he can lead the team better than Jordan, but also in the face of the Warriors, Lin Han's control of the game is even higher, that is to say, even if Lin Han's strength is not as good as Jordan, but for the Warriors, Lin Han is much more terrible than Jordan!
"Is this really the end of the series?"
Thinking of the almost invincible No. 24 player of the Lakers, Harris's fighting spirit that still did not give up at this time was also a little low
Of course, at this time, in the face of the third game, the entire Warriors team is quite depressed, but this qiē, the Lakers will never know. And, even if you know. The Lakers don't care too much about this team. Although most of their players don't have much playoff experience, they are able to not care so much about their opponents, especially an opponent who has been completely suppressed by them in terms of strength.
Therefore, when the Lakers came to Golden State, almost the entire team was in full swing of preparations, and even many media from the United States or the world were a little surprised when they felt the extremely special situation of the Lakers at this time.
Even as the on-site commentator of the third game between the Lakers and the Warriors, former Celtics legend player Larry Bird directly said in an interview that this was quite surprising to him, and even in Larry Bird's view, the Lakers' situation at this time did not relax at all because of how the Warriors were at this time meant that the Lakers were already preparing for the Spurs! Adjust your form and prepare for the Spurs!
While the Lakers were in the first round and the Warriors at the time. The state is definitely not at the highest, I'm afraid it is average at most, and when facing the Spurs, the Lakers can't be more average, not only to be fully prepared, but also to maintain a pretty good state, in the league, some ordinary strong teams or some inexperienced strong teams, they are easy to pass the first round. The second round is very easy to drop the chain, not only because of the lack of clarity of one's goals or the lack of leadership of the team leader or the team's head coach to supplement the preparation, but also because the atmosphere of the whole team is not able to do the necessary and sufficient tension after relaxing.
Therefore, the Lakers give people an unnecessary sense of tension at this time. This kind of tension is definitely not used against the Warriors, and the current Warriors are not easy to make the Lakers nervous, and the reason why the Lakers are increasing their own tension at this time. Since it is not used when the opposing Warriors are playing, it is used when preparing for the next round against the Spurs. So when Larry Bird said the Lakers' current strategic thinking in an interview, it was also recognized by most of the media and experts.
The Lakers had told everyone ahead of this game: "We're already thinking about the next round"
Therefore. When this interpretation comes out, the Lakers are quite low-key at this time, but no one in the world thinks that this team is low-key, and they are already thinking about the opponent in the next round, and they are still low-key.
Even many Warriors fans feel as if their team has been offended after reading the newspapers and media reports, and many die-hard Warriors fans have directly chosen to go to the hotel where the Lakers are staying to block the door!
On May 2, 1995, when the Los Angeles Lakers came to Golden State as a guest, when the Los Angeles Lakers players came out of the player tunnel under the leadership of Lin Han and Magic, and even because the media's interpretation of the Lakers in recent times was considering the next opponent, the Warriors fans on the scene were quite unkind to the Lakers.
Therefore, when Lin Han appeared on the stage, he felt the unexpectedly huge boos at the scene, and he was also a little stunned.
"Looks like we're pretty unpopular here right now."
After Lin Han was stunned for a moment, the magician standing next to Lin Han also said with a smile, and after the magician finished speaking, Lin Han and the other Lakers players also nodded with a smile.
The Lakers are quite unpopular in Golden State right now, that's for sure, no team has a fan mentality that is so good enough to keep their cool against opponents who are about to sweep them, and coupled with the over-interpretation of the Lakers by media experts in recent times, it is all too normal for the situation to occur now.
So, this is also a very interesting scene for TV viewers all over the world, as a home fans, they are far more fighting spirit than this team as a home team!
Therefore, when the Warriors were on the court, many viewers in front of the TV saw the Warriors fans who were extremely crazy at this time and the Warriors players who were a little depressed, and almost all of these viewers were stunned.
Not to mention the audience in front of the TV, even as the head coach of the Warriors, Harris is almost the same at this time, as the head coach of a team, he really didn't think that it was not his own players who ended up standing by his side, but the fans of his own team, which instantly moved the head coach of the Warriors and felt a little sad at the same time.
When the players from both sides came out of the tunnel, the Warriors, as the home team, were in pretty bad shape. Even TV viewers can feel it, not to mention the reporters, experts and commentators on the scene.
"Originally, I was going to fight the Lakers because of this game, but now it seems. I'm still overestimating the fighting spirit of this team, though. If it were me, I wouldn't have much fighting spirit in an impossible game, and the Warriors would have ended this series."
"Well, now the Warriors have no momentum to reverse, but unfortunately, the strength of this team is still there, even if you meet Lin Han, the only player in the entire league who can suppress the Warriors so dead is probably Lin Han. I have to say that the Warriors are quite unlucky, they were eliminated by Lin Han in the playoffs last season, and this season they still have to repeat this fate, if this team wants to make a difference in the future, I am afraid that there will be a huge change next season, and it will not be able to be like now, when encountering a player like Lin Han, it is directly helpless"
"Yes, although there is only one player like Lin Han in the entire league, this one is enough to block the Warriors to death. If they want to reach the finals or win the championship, they have to overthrow Lin Han, and if they can't overthrow Lin Han, any results are meaningless."
"Hahahaha, the Warriors better not think about it that much right now. It would be really bad if they lost by another big score in this game, and they had to think about how to repay these enthusiastic Warriors fans in the room."
As a team that is about to be eliminated, the most embarrassing thing for this team is. They weren't ready to fight for the game, but their fans were pretty crazy. This leads to the fact that this team will be quite embarrassed in the game, and the Warriors players are really not ready to beat the Lakers at this time. But that's not the case with Warriors fans at this time.
Therefore, at this time, many experts and reporters on the scene have already watched the excitement and are not afraid of big things, looking forward to whether something interesting will happen between the Warriors fans and players at the scene.
Of course, for the very undisciplined thinking of these reporters and experts on the scene, Lin Han and the Lakers players really don't know, I'm afraid the Warriors players are not clear at this time, and even if they know very well that these guys want to see their own and the team's jokes, the Warriors players are a little powerless at this time.
"Larry, the Warriors' starting lineup for this game is really a huge change."
When the players on both sides returned to the court after the warm-up and stood on both sides of the center circle, looking at the players on both sides of the court, Collins also said thoughtfully, while Larry Bird on the side of the court glanced at the Warriors side of the court and nodded.
This change for the Warriors in this game is a bit big!
Before the game, many experts believed that the Warriors would change the lineup, as the losing side, it was necessary to change the lineup, this is the playoffs, if the loss does not change, either the strength of the team is like this, there is no possibility of change, or the team is strong enough, there is no need to change because of a two-game loss, it is clear that the Warriors are neither the kind of team that has no strength, nor the kind of team that is strong enough, so it will naturally change after the game fails.
Because of being suppressed by the Lakers from the beginning, the Warriors' lineup change in this series has almost become the theme of this team.
But even so, in this game, the Warriors got all their two starting interior players in the previous two games, Gogliota and Secali, to the bench, and the team's starting lineup changed to center Gatlin, power forward Chris Mullin, small forward Sprewell, shooting guard Ricky Pierce and playmaking guard Tim Hardaway, Larry Bird and Collins on the sidelines were still a little surprised.
This is a big four small lineup, and as the only big man in one big four small is also an offensive inside, the whole world knows that Gatlin is a physically flawed player, although the Iron Man with a steel plate on his head is excellent, but his physical strength is limited, and it is impossible to show himself on both the offensive and defensive ends in a game, in this case, Gatlin almost puts all his energy on the offensive end.
In other words, the current lineup of the Warriors has almost all of its goals on the offense of this game, and as for the defense, this team has now been completely abandoned, which is an extremely bold decision, if the Warriors can't suppress the Lakers on the offensive end in this game. Then he was suppressed by the Lakers and couldn't attack himself. If you can't defend against it, then it will be a huge rout!
"If in the past. With Harris's character, he couldn't have used it like this, but now, he had no choice"
After being shocked by the Warriors' all-offensive starter, Larry Bird also said with a smile that Harris has no choice, he needs his team to be able to beat the Lakers on the offensive end, otherwise what awaits him can only fail, especially the morale of the Warriors players is not high. It is even more intolerable that the team will be pressed and beaten by the Lakers as soon as they come up.
If the head coach of the Warriors wants to bring up the team's fighting spirit, he needs to make his players feel that they can beat the Lakers at the beginning, so the Warriors have such a tactical arrangement now, Harris really has no choice, maybe such a tactic and starter will be directly killed by the Lakers, and finally the Lakers will play a big score in this game, but in the same way, this tactical arrangement also has a certain chance to really suppress the Lakers. After all, this is already the best tactical lineup for the Warriors to attack and run-in!
So, even if the chances of suppressing the Lakers are slim, what if there is a real turnaround?
'Harris is a very good manager. Throughout the series, although the Warriors played very badly, he didn't do a single thing wrong. He's done a good job in this series."
So, after Larry Bird finished speaking. Collins also smiled and nodded, and from his words, it could be felt that he still admired Harris.
It's not just Collins, the former Bulls head coach who admires Harris. Even Larry Bird is similar, in the entire league, any head coach will have a hard time facing the current situation of the Warriors, and a head coach who can maintain enough judgment and ability may not be able to have one out of ten, and Harris, at least in this series, no one will single out what he has done wrong.
"So, personally, while it's unlikely, I'm quite looking forward to Harris getting a win in this fight, which is a reward for his performance in this series."
Finally, Larry Bird said with a smile after the game began.
If the Warriors and Harris want to win this game, it is very simple, suppress the Lakers after the game starts, even if they can't suppress the Lakers, they must be evenly matched with the Lakers, which is quite difficult, so the final trend of this game just needs to see what kind of state the two teams will be in the first quarter or the first half of the first quarter.
And when this game started, as the side with more superior strength and more dominant tactical play, when the Lakers faced the Warriors who had completely given up defense, they still continued to play on the offensive end in the first two games, and even if the Warriors changed their formation, they still couldn't overthrow Lin Han on the offensive end, when Gatlin, the center of the Warriors who started this game, was trying hard to impact Lin Han, but this season's Lin Han has obviously improved in strength compared to last season, If Gatlin was able to pose enough threat to Lin Han last season and even be able to match Lin Han on the offensive end, then in this season, when Lin Han was not standing next to Malone but Rodman, when Lin Han's defensive ability on the defensive end could be more fully played, even if the Warriors came up with their most powerful offensive lineup, the final result was a little frustrating for the Warriors' head coach Harris on the sidelines.
"This game is over"
When the first quarter of this game ended, Harris watched from the sidelines watching the Lakers No. 24 player who was still quite strong in the offensive containment of the Warriors, and when the attack was killing them, when the first quarter was over, the Warriors who were going all out to attack were still trailing 26-33 on their home court, Harris knew that the Warriors were going to end the game.
The Warriors who lost the opportunity did not have much strength to make a reversal, and not only did they not have the strength, but the players did not have the fighting spirit to complete the reversal of the Lakers.
And just as Harris expected, when the Warriors fell behind in the first quarter of this game, in the second quarter, when the bench lineups of both sides came into play, because of the increase of Gatlin and Pierce, although the Warriors were still strong because of Gugliotta and Secali, the two of them were affected by playing on the bench in this game, and their state was average, which is also the advantage of the Warriors, who were originally superior to the bench, did not even have the advantage of the bench in this game.
And the most direct consequence of this is that when the first half is over, the Warriors have been pulled away by the Lakers by more than 10 points.
Therefore, at the end of the halftime of this game, even the crazy Warriors fans on the scene were a little silent when they saw Lin Han and the Lakers players walking off the court, and they even forgot to boo for a while!
And in the end, when this life-and-death battle between the Warriors and the Lakers ended in the whistle of the referee on duty, Bavita, and when the Warriors lost 98-122 at home, the Warriors fans on the scene even booed their home team at the end!
3-0, the Warriors were swept out by the Lakers on their home court!
And what's even more unacceptable is that from the beginning to the end of this game, the Warriors didn't have a single lead!
Therefore, when the whistle blew at the end of the game, many expert reporters on the scene saw the scene they wanted to see very much at the beginning of the game, and these guys almost subconsciously looked at Lin Han, who sat on the bench at the beginning of the fourth quarter and did not play, and scored 26 points, 11 rebounds and 8 assists in just three quarters.
"It's a series where one person beats one team!" (To be continued......) R1292
