On May 27, U.S. time, today is the fourth game of the Western Conference finals.

This game is still played at the home of the Spurs.

As soon as I walked into the AT&T Center in San Antonio, the entire Lakers felt a huge pressure, and the relaxed and even slightly cheerful atmosphere of the scene made people uncomfortable and uncomfortable. It's as if this series is over.

Of course, in a sense, this is the end.

After falling behind 0-3, there has not been a single comeback in NBA history.

Not once.

That's why ESPN will be so arrogant, James will be secretly happy in his heart, and the Lakers diehard fans will be so depressed.

There's no way, it's all come to this point, who really thinks there's a chance to turn around?

In the hearts of Lakers players, in fact, few people still have faith.

The 1.7-second kill in the last game almost destroyed the last resistance of the Lakers.

Now, more players are just getting the job done and then the walking dead to end the series and end the season.

Among them, even Nash and Gasol have no heart, after all, the big score of 0-3 is too shocking. It's not something you can change by shouting "my life is up to me". Reality is reality, and it's useless if you don't admit defeat.

The Lakers, this season, have been eliminated.

Even "Lakers Nation" and "Los Angeles Times" have begun to adjust the focus of their narratives and start the season summary early.

This all means that no one is optimistic about this Lakers team.

99% of the people in the world feel that the Lakers will definitely lose this round of the series.

D'Antoni was a bit "weak" in the locker room before this game, although the Western Conference Finals had exceeded his original expectations for the season. However, having come this far, who wouldn't want to go a little further? Especially him, he also wants to use a larry. The O'Brien Cup is here to prove your coaching ability.

However, no, after falling behind 0-3, the suspense has disappeared.

The last 1.7 seconds of the last game were the moment when the Lakers fell to the ground.

This game, alas......

As I said before, this Lakers team was not built according to the championship team at all, so a lot of them are "mercenaries" and "temporary workers". A year's veteran base salary, there are several. This kind of team, when you win, it's okay to say, once you lose, once you fall into adversity, then there will be internal problems in an instant. That's the case with the Lakers right now.

Many players are a bit "unintentional".

In particular, some of the guys who have only signed a one-year short contract and a veteran base salary have started to shift their minds off the field and to how to get their next contract at the end of the season. Actually, there is nothing wrong with it, and you can't blame them too much. After all, compared to star players, they don't have any endorsements, they just rely on this "dead salary" to support their families. And they can't have as long an athletic lifespan as star players, and many of them will fade out of the league around the age of 30.

In this case, since there is no hope of promotion, it is natural that their center of gravity will begin to shift.

Negotiating, renewing contracts, or entering the free market to test the waters, etc., are all top priorities.

In this way, the Lakers have not yet started this game, and they seem to be panicked and scattered.

This is also real professional basketball, the real NBA, and sometimes you want to win, you just have to think about the factors on the court.

Before you see hope, what slogans you shout at them, what kind of chicken blood you fight, it is estimated that it will have no great effect. Everyone is an adult, and in the face of a meaningless future, of course, the real contract and the American knife are more attractive.

When Kobe Bryant saw this scene, his face was extremely bad, but he also knew that it was useless to say anything now.

You can only try your best and leave no regrets.

However, if you really try your best, can you leave no regrets?

My last season, my hard-won last season at full peak, is about to fall here?

How much, it's still not very willing, right?

Kobe Bryant took a deep breath, and the moment he walked out of the player's tunnel, he suddenly said in his heart:

If this is my last professional fight, I'm going to give it my all and I'm not going to keep it at all.

The players on both sides came on the court, listening to the various relaxed teasing and jokes of the Spurs on-site commentators, but Tang Qian couldn't laugh at all.

He, like Kobe, doesn't want to lose yet.

So as soon as he came up, he made up his mind to break out early. Although this, it is not easy. But it's also something that superstars and players above the superstar level should do.

As soon as the Spurs came up, they used the No. 1 Parker as the point of attack, which is almost a must-do for the team with the No. 1 attack strongman this season against the Lakers. The 40-year-old Nash, what's the matter, his defensive end is also completely scum, saying that it is an "ATM" There is absolutely no wrong.

The aging of physical functions cannot be stopped, even if you are Qiao Shen, after the age of 40, in the last season of the Wizards, it is also not good to defend. And his last season with the Bulls, the difference is a world of difference.

With Jordan's physical talent and anti-aging properties, this is the case, not to mention Steve, who is already average in physical fitness and ordinary in defense. Nash? The Spurs do this, there is nothing to despise, professional basketball, everything is about winning, how can there be any "sympathy"? To sympathize, that's also an off-the-field thing. On the field, absolutely impossible.

In particular, this team is the San Antonio Spurs, which are known for their execution and discipline.

Parker opened with a single to Steve. Nash one, a not particularly strong change of direction, gave Nash a clean one. Note that it is really clean, completely broken through, and there is no shadow left. Parker then made a pull-up shot, and the basketball went into the net without interference.

Frenchman Tony. Parker is no longer the stunned young man who only broke through with his head back then, for so many years, three-point shooting is hard to say, but the mid-range, that is completely developed, and it is simply not the same as it once was. He now shoots from mid to long distance to almost 1/3 of his total shots, 36.9% to be specific, and his shooting percentage is around 45%!

This is already a super accurate hit rate in the middle of the shot.

Medium distance and medium long distance, more than 4 percent, even if it is excellent.

After all, mid-range shooting can't rely on simple muscle memory like practicing three-point shooting to improve quickly, so Parker can go from the unreliable shooting at the beginning to the hidden shooting master later, this change, he definitely put in the unknown hard work.

Soon the Spurs relied on Parker's opening 3-of-4 shooting, plus a free throw to score 7 points, what about the Lakers? It's still zero points, it's still duck eggs. This opening situation made the entire AT&T Center Arena burst into a large number of cheers, and Tang Qian could clearly feel that the atmosphere in this arena was becoming more and more relaxed, and it was more and more conducive to the performance of Spurs players.

On the side of the Lakers players, they made a series of mistakes at the beginning, wandering, not paying attention enough, and making low-level mistakes, which are all unacceptable things. But tonight, it seems that the entire Lakers team is obsessed with it, infecting one person and another, even the experienced Steve. Nash, there is a faint feeling of "absent-mindedness".

This is undoubtedly disastrous for a team, especially a team that is still behind by a large score.

The Spurs gave the Lakers a 15-6 run in the first half of the quarter, leading by nine points, and finally took a break because of a timeout by D'Antoni, and then went on with a joke. What about the Lakers? There were 4 mistakes at the beginning, brainless iron, untimely passing, and so on, which are endless.

It's also funny to want to win against the Spurs in such a situation.

In fact, this is still Tang's defensive performance in the penalty area, otherwise, this ratio score is estimated to be far more than that.

However, Tang Qian didn't feel anything to be proud of, because now the Lakers have reached the cliff, no, one foot has stepped out of the cliff, and if he retreats, he will fall directly off the cliff and die without a place to be buried.

But what can he do? All he can do is defend and rebound.

And as if God was going to embarrass him and make the Lakers not go alone, tonight's "heart demon" suddenly deducted 25% of Tang's competitive state. This means that even if he inspires the "Demigod Descending to Earth", the effect is also a weakened version.

When used, it is not as strong as the original.

Fortunately, Tang Qian's state exploded quickly, which delayed it a little, but it was not enough, it was not enough to just defend against the explosive seed.

Because of the 25% "heart demon discount", this is a bit too much to look at.

It has to be a higher state explosion.

And it has to last! Can't be shorter!

Damn it! You can't just give up! Gotta fight this one!!

In the second half of the first quarter, after Kobe Bryant passed a few more balls to Gasol, he couldn't hold back at all, and the whole person suddenly entered the state of "scoring The.Zone". But who knows, the "third year of facial paralysis" on the opposite side did not show weakness, and immediately entered the "Defensive The.Zone".

This makes Kobe Bryant only 2 of 4 shots, which is not inaccurate, but from Kobe's expectations and the Lakers' current needs, it is far from enough. He still needs more firepower to increase his firepower.

Seeing this, Popovich is really glad that he traded Leonard, otherwise without this defensive genius, the Spurs may really be in big trouble by the opposite No. 24. After all, the No. 24 style of play was originally a bit restrained by the Spurs' style of play and system.

This can't but be said to be a "luck component" for the Spurs.

In fact, even in the regular season, Leonard does not have the current defensive energy, and in the playoffs, he seems to have been suddenly stimulated by some acupoints and meridians, and suddenly it is a series, or even a few games, and the defensive quality has climbed to a higher level. This speed of progress has already surprised Popovich. To put it mildly, he chose Kehuai at that time. Leonard, in fact, the Spurs as a whole are slightly dissatisfied. Because the person who went to the exchange was originally a 3D player with good defense, and he has been with the Spurs for a long time, and he is familiar with the operation of skills, tactics and systems.

Because of the 15th rank, it is no longer a small green house, such a rookie, there are countless people who fall in water every year.

Besides, Leonard's dynamic physical test is still very poor, not a particularly athletic No. 3 position, plus some words in the scouting report, such as the future positioning prediction is blue-collar, poor athleticism, and the offensive selection is very bad and even a bit "alone", so his final draft template is actually ...... Gerrard. Wallace.

You must know that the Spurs are a very strong team team, and the offensive selection is not good, "too independent", which is a point of natural psychological resistance for Spurs fans. Therefore, the year with George. Hill exchanged rookie Leonard, which can be regarded as Popovich's personal arbitrariness of "going against the wind". Of course, time has proven everything now, and this young man with a somewhat similar personality to Duncan, his potential is far more amazing than what the scouts saw at the beginning.

Even Popovich himself probably didn't expect Leonard to grow so fast at first. Especially on the defensive end, as far as his current eyesight goes, this guy is close to or even close to the time when Ron. Artest's degree. And he is talking about Ron here. Artest, who won the DPOY as an outsider that season. Artest.

It's just a pity......

Popovich looked at the No. 29 on the Lakers' interior line, shook his head a little regretfully, and said:

There is a blue-collar monster in the league, a blue-collar superstar, otherwise this DPOY, Spurs No. 2 will not have no chance to be contaminated.

However, if the No. 29 can be poached, then a combined defensive lineup with Leonard inside and outside will at least be the strongest defensive team in the league for the next five years. Not one of them.

Thinking of this, Popovich moved his mind again, and as for Tang Qian's repeated hard attacks on Duncan's solicitation, he didn't care at all.

Because in the NBA, everything is possible on the court, and the same is true off the court.

In the classic American thinking, well, there's nothing really not for sale, there's nothing really that can't work.

At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers trailed the San Antonio Spurs by nine points, 25-16, heading into the second quarter.

However, the fall behind in the first quarter seems to give the Lakers a reason to "give up" and "indulge".

It seems that that's it anyway, if the jar is broken, it doesn't hurt, it has nothing to do with the overall situation.

The big score is 0-3 behind, and now the fourth game is also behind at the beginning, and the Lakers' season should also come to an end.

Many Lakers players began to have such thoughts in their minds.
