Chapter 145: Win the game

Although Hardaway, the star of the Magic team at this time, was still able to score a lot of points in a row, to be honest, his outburst came relatively too late, and there was almost no one who could really change the tide of the game at this time.

Maybe Michael Jordan can't lead this Magic team to win against our Lakers team when he comes here, and I'm actually confident in that, because our Lakers team today, especially when I and Shaq are in good shape, how can they win so easily.

I still think that Michael Jordan is also a person, although he is very close to the existence of God, but he is not a real god after all, if he is a human being, he will have weaknesses, in fact, by watching some of Jordan's game videos, I will find that Jordan's weaknesses are actually in character, why do you say that.

Because Jordan sometimes seems a little too tough on the court, Jordan's teammates are actually difficult to achieve a perfect match with Jordan to some extent, which means that it is difficult for you to get too many opportunities to perform when you are with Jordan.

Of course, if you have such a superstar in your team who has such an exaggerated scoring ability, then your scoring chances, or your chances to express yourself, will still be affected considerably, there is no doubt about this, and there is no way to change it.

And our Lakers team at this time is at least a dual-core, and some other players are actually not so powerful in front of me and Shaq's super performance, of course, I and Shaq actually have no way to do this, because for a team, if more than two players average more than 20 points or even 25 points per game, then the performance opportunities of other players will indeed be greatly affected.

Since the game is going on, it is getting closer and closer to the end of the third quarter, and the Magic team has shown their last will to fight, which I have to say is that the Magic team is still very tenacious, at least they still have the consciousness of fighting to the death in the face of a huge disadvantage today, of course, the gap in strength still makes them have no way to really threaten our Lakers.

NBA games have always been so cruel, not that you will definitely gain if you put in the effort, in fact, many things in this world are also like this, not that you will definitely get a lot of hard work, this is also a matter of no way.

Sometimes talent has to add some luck to allow you to really get a relatively large space to play.

In the following period of time, our Lakers team began to carry out a stage of harvesting games, and why do we say that, the reason is actually very simple, because our Lakers team does have strong enough strength, so whether we are ahead or behind, the initiative is actually in the hands of our Lakers team.

With less than three minutes to go until the end of the third quarter, the Lakers still have an 18-point advantage on the court, and if we can stretch the margin to more than 20 points in the final three minutes, then the game is already a foregone conclusion to some extent.

Of course, in fact, the advantage of 20 points in the last quarter is possible to recover in some cases, but it must be when the pace of the game is relatively fast, and it is a special number of three-point points that it is possible to pull back such a point difference.

On the one hand, the player's three-point ability is still relatively limited, because the three-point use in the game is not used as a conventional tactic, so in the usual training, there will not be so many three-point shooting training, from this point of view, the three-point shot because of less practice, so there will not be so much self-confidence to use when chasing points, and at the same time, there is really no strength to recover a lot of points in a short period of time through three-point shooting.

In addition, in this era, both players and coaches have a certain prejudice against three-point shots, thinking that if they shoot too many three-point shots, it will appear that the players or teams are less iron-blooded, and fans don't seem to like to see players racing three-point shots against each other.

But if you don't have a top three-point shooter, then it's a bit of a fool's dream to completely recover the 20-point difference in the time of a quarter, and once you enter the quagmire of positional warfare, no matter how strong your team is, it's hard to say how much of a score you can get back.

Because if you play close to 24 seconds in the positional battle, then there are only a few offensive rounds in a quarter, and in order to recover the score difference in this limited offensive round, in addition to making the opponent almost completely unable to score, you must also have a very high scoring efficiency on your side.

Seeing that Hardaway's performance is picking up a bit, the other players of the Magic team seem to have started their own performances, because maybe they don't want to look like a player who has not contributed anything, Hardaway didn't play well at the beginning of the game, it was indeed his problem, but now he is still working hard in this situation, this spirit can more or less have a positive impact on others, at least so that they don't give up so quickly.

Shaq actually scored 15 points in this quarter, I thought at the beginning that Shaq would go to 20 points in this quarter, but judging from the current situation, he doesn't seem to have the desire to continue scoring, because the Magic team is a little weak for his way, maybe he thinks that there is no way to defend him in the face of this kind of team, desperate scoring is actually not that meaningful, right, Maybe he thinks it's better to have an opponent who can match him.

That's why Shaq doesn't have such a strong desire to ask for it, and when we pass the ball to him, he just acts as a pivot on the inside, helping other players score, and then learning to pass the ball, which is quite surprising to me.

The rest of our Lakers players have not performed very well during this time, and in the last game, without Shaq, our Lakers were able to win the Jazz, of course, it was actually the joint efforts of our entire team, although I got a lot of points, but in the end, it was impossible to rely on me alone.

Starting in the second half of the third quarter of this game, the rest of our Lakers roster has become more positive, at least mentally, completely different from what they have shown before.

Obviously, if the rest of our Lakers players get into the game at this point, they can make some nice changes, at least give me and Shaq a little rest, as long as it can give us some respite.

The minutes passed quickly, three minutes passed in a flash, and in the end, the Magic were not able to close the margin to a point where it seemed to be catchable before the end of the third quarter, and our Lakers entered the fourth quarter with a almost 20-point lead, which was actually the end of the game.

The fact is that our Lakers starters didn't play again in the entire fourth quarter, and I also entered a meditative state at this time, I need this meditative state to keep my mental state in a relatively good state, and this time I entered the meditative state, and at the same time entered my own subconscious, in this subconscious I can actually find something about my inner self that I can't usually see.

In fact, I don't want to think about Sir Faustin's manor or my past life for a while, because those things are like a bottomless abyss to me, and no matter how much I try, there seems to be no way to achieve the real effect, so I simply let myself out of the mystery about them, and let me enter a completely different level.

In the rest of the time, I need to sift through the deeper things in my own ideology, and I say that, because this kind of sifting is a process of strengthening my subjective consciousness, and in the process I can see something that improves me.

I spent about half of the fourth quarter in meditation and the other half of the time observing the situation on the court, in fact, I also observed the Lakers bench players on the court, because for me, this observation process can teach me a lot.

And sometimes there is no way to summarize these things in one or two sentences, but with the gradual accumulation of these situations, you can see through these things and explore them thoroughly.

Maybe this is a kind of accumulation of experience in the basketball game, as you play more and more basketball games, as your career accumulates more and more, then the wealth you have is not only your body and your basketball skills, but also your basketball experience and your understanding of basketball.

And if you can do that, you can really understand what basketball means to you, what basketball means to the world, maybe I say this will seem a little empty or powerless, but for myself there is indeed such a process, but not all people can understand my thoughts, of course, I don't want to say that everyone can understand my thoughts, because I know that it is difficult to do.

Throughout the fourth quarter, our Lakers' bench players behaved decently, but after all, the score on the court was already so big, so there was no need to say anything in this process.

I don't know how our Lakers home fans feel about such a big win, maybe it doesn't mean much to them, maybe for them, as long as they can see the home team win, everything else doesn't matter, but anyway, this game has finally come to an end, and our Lakers finally ended the game with a 15-point lead.

And in the post-game press interview session, I found that there were some reporters who I had never seen before appeared on our Lakers' home court, and their appearance actually represented the emergence of some new focus in a sense, maybe they were new people sent by some newspapers or some media, maybe they were sent by some new media.

But in any case, these new faces are probably a good thing, because the old reporters always asked me very strange questions, or questions that I didn't like to answer.

I'd be hoping that these new journalist faces would ask questions I'd never heard before, but whether or not I could make that idea come true doesn't seem to be so easy to say.

In the end, after the reporter's question session, I found that these reporters still did not have any particularly novel questions, they turned over and over again some questions that had been raised, and I was trying to provide relatively reasonable answers to these questions, but to be honest, many questions and many opinions will actually have different directions of observation for everyone, and I am now a public figure, maybe what I said represents more than my personal perspective. In many cases, it may also represent the image of the whole team.

In this case, I have to make some necessary embellishments, or some necessary refinements, of what I have said, until this kind of perfection can really appear, and then I can make some deeper speeches.

At the very least, I'm still a rookie, and I'm still learning to improve myself, and in the process I may not only learn things on the basketball court, but I may also need to learn some things off the basketball court, such as getting along with my teammates, maybe how to get along with these media, and in the process, it won't seem so easy.

Of course, our lives are never so easy, but maybe many times I don't think about the things that make me feel sad, I think I have enough inner strength to worry about such things, because no matter how great the difficulties are, I will believe that I have the ability to change these results.

After the game, I had a hot and cold shower, which was very important to me, and I actually told some of my teammates about this method, but there are only a few people among my teammates who really believe in me, or some people actually believe in me, but they just don't think there's the need, there's no need to make those changes, they may feel that what they're doing is already very good.

Of course, when you are young, there may not be a need to control this kind of detail, and there is no need to be self-disciplined to that extent, because even if you are very self-indulgent, you will not directly reflect those bad consequences when you are young.

However, many times quantitative changes produce qualitative changes, and only after some problems have accumulated to a certain extent, you will really find that this has become a big problem, of course, if it really comes to that situation, your thinking may be different.

Now I feel very, very comfortable after taking a shower, and this comfort is difficult to describe in words, just like a kind of comfort that I show deep down.

And after doing all this, I walked out of Staples Arena with Jessica, and outside of Staples Arena, we walked quietly, just like before, looking at the stars at night together, feeling this beautiful state of mind together, maybe for us now, everything is no longer as complicated as it used to be.

When we both forget about what happened to us for this time, we feel a sense of complete relief, but we both know that it's just a short-lived state that can't last.

Because maybe we will eventually have to go back to the path we have traveled at the beginning, because there are some contradictions and some problems that we really can't reverse and avoid, but in this process, what can we do?

At this time, Jessica's face was full of bright smiles, I really think she is so beautiful and beautiful, it is not the kind of beauty that does not seem to be in the mortal world, and some people may think that I am talking nonsense when I say this, but whatever you think, Jessica's position in my heart is irreplaceable by anyone.

I just don't know if I'm in such an irreplaceable place in Jessica's heart, and of course it's not that important to me, and I don't have to figure it out.
