After the Lakers led the Magic 2-0 at home, the outside media was optimistic about the Lakers winning the championship, and the expectations and praise accumulated by the Magic from entering the playoffs to reaching the finals before were erased in less than a week, and most of the media were completely downcast! Only a few local Orlando media outlets are still gritting their teeth and cheering for the Magic.

Most fans and league management have basically been looking down on the Magic, after all, the Magic's current lineup has little playoff experience, let alone compared with the Lakers, who are regulars in the finals, and now fans just want to see if Kobe Bryant can improve his Finals scoring record, or the Magic will not lose so embarrassed if the Magic breaks out, but more fans are betting on when the Monster will lose his temper and eat T, after all, one of the top centers in the league, he played very aggrieved in both games, I guess I have already suppressed a fire in my stomach.

But the league is looking forward to the Magic to compete for a little bit and there is no flower to grab the seventh, but at least it is good to drag the finals to the sixth game, after all, one more game can get more broadcast income.

When the Lakers came to Orlando, they didn't feel anything at first, but when they adapted to the venue, they felt that the Magic staff didn't look at their group well, but it's no wonder that the team's first win in the finals in the last game was so killed, if it was Kobe Bryant's shot, they might feel better, but letting the old fish hit this shot was really beyond everyone's expectations.

But this problem is not a problem at all, and when Phil Jackson laid out this tactic, no one was surprised by the Lakers! Huang Yu is holding the heart of letting me vote and pulling it if I don't let it, although he is now the top three in the team's average points per game, but his qualifications are at the bottom, only a little better than the two guys who were traded, so he volunteered to fight for the lore? Don't be funny, especially with Phil Jackson? That's literally slapping him in the face!

Could it be that he has repeatedly suggested to the management that trading Kobe Bryant really make the Lakers better, wrong, that just makes him better, although the big sharks have many problems, none of them can pose a threat to Phil Jackson, and he is lazy in training, but what does this have to do with him, if it is useless, it would be good to trade it in exchange for useful people, anyway, the Lakers have money!

But the Lakers use Kobe as the foundation of the team and obviously can't get along with themselves, paranoid and ambitious, often have arguments with themselves, and he will have the heart to use time to smooth out a paranoia, and his own woman still needs help! So after the collapse of F4, after the management agreed to trade the Sharks, it also foreshadowed the loss of his own woman in the securities war, so Phil Jackson decisively left the whirlpool and went chic, with his own woman to report the team, he knew very well that the Lakers could not play without him.

Sure enough, after the Lakers lost Jackson and O'Neal, the Lakers became a fast-paced team, although the team made some achievements in the first half of the season, but the injuries of Kobe and Odom made the team withdraw from the playoff competition, and only 34-48 in the 2004-05 season, failing to make the playoffs for the first time in 11 years, F4's scars have not healed, and a new injury was decisively added, so Phil Jackson, who was firmly seated in the Diaoyutai, was re-invited to the Lakers on June 15, 2005.

----------

Maybe the old Bass also saw it, except for Phil Jackson, who was able to suppress Kobe Bryant a little, the other coaches were all in vain, so under his aura, Bath could only have a good chat with Kobe.

Phil Jackson's success in the Bulls and Lakers is too dazzling, Kobe Bryant, who is eager to win the championship to prove himself, can only nod his head and agree, so Kobe can only vent his unhappiness in endless training, it is estimated that after Phil Jackson returned to the Lakers, Kobe Bryant began to watch the night of four o'clock in the morning in Los Angeles.

So now no player in the Lakers will question Phil Jackson's arrangement, and Lao Yu's shooting percentage in this game seems to be the best candidate! So Lao Yu staged a stunner again in the playoffs, although it was not as dazzling and important as the 0.4-second stunter in the semifinals of the 03-04 season, but it was definitely enough to stage a stunner in the finals.

Soon the Lakers returned to the locker room after getting used to the court for a while, resting and arranging tactics, while the Magic fans began to enter, and when the two teams came to the players' tunnel, the fans who had been staring at the Lakers side had already begun to curse and began to put pressure on the Lakers' players, after all, the Magic's honor room was too clean!

If it weren't for the scoring champions of Maddie and O'Neal, it would have been really clean and slippery, oh no! There's also a Deng, Coach Rivers won the NBA's Coach of the Year in the 1999-00 season, and as for whether he has anything to do with the coach with the dog's name and surname, it's a "hen!" ”

So Magic fans desperately hope that Magic can win this season's championship, after all, this season Magic is perfect, although in the playoffs even met strong opponents, but one by one overturned to the ground, this strength ignited the enthusiasm of Orlando fans, usually deserted Amway Arena (in 1989, the stadium was named Orlando Arena when it was built. In February 2000, the arena was renamed TD Water House Center. In 2006, the stadium owner Richard DeVos won the naming rights to the arena, and the stadium was officially renamed Amway Arena), and today the attendance has reached eight floors.

However, the Lakers' players are all experienced in battles, and Huang Yu is even more psychologically aged, although he occasionally has a little temper, but this kind of swear words that only stop at the beginning of F and the end of K can only be ignored! Of course, there were many people attacking Huang Yu's complexion, but there were too many people Huang Yu couldn't hear that person shouting at all, and he couldn't find the master if he wanted to investigate it, so he could only transfer his anger to magic.

After the ceremony, as the starting small forward of the game, Huang Yu stood beside Kobe Bryant and did not leave, Warcraft came over to greet Kobe with a smile, but he was very puzzled when he saw Huang Yu's eyes wrong, and looked back twice and saw two suspected Asian beauties on the sidelines, that is, he was looking at himself, so he pointed to himself and asked.

"Man, I didn't mean to block you from looking at beautiful women, don't look at me like this? Fear! Fear! ”

After speaking, he patted his strong chest muscles while leaning sideways, the movements of the monster were very funny, it seemed that the loss of the previous game was not taken to heart at all, this thing did look heartless at this time, and after leaving the magic in a straight way, the famous chrysanthemum in the greenhouse became a roadside wild chrysanthemum, and it gradually matured a little bit after being weathered, of course, only a little bit.

"Just now, the fans of the Magic attacked my skin color with words, and when I couldn't find the culprit, I had to carry the pot by magic."

Huang Yu smiled reluctantly and said helplessly, Kobe Bryant next to him was also stunned, race ** This thing is really hard to say, don't look at Kobe Bryant is a star, but he was also attacked because of his skin color when he was a child, although he is a native of the United States, but in the eyes of those racists, he still can't escape being discriminated against, but it's not so blatant, knowing that after he became the leader of the Lakers, this voice was reduced from his ears, and when he scored 81 points in 06, he completely disappeared.

This kind of trouble can not help you for a while, if you want to get rid of it, you can only stand up with your own strength, and when the strength is strong, this kind of attack will naturally be less, and you need to be hard to strike iron.

Huang Yu also understood this truth, so he didn't publicize it, but he didn't want to lie because of this kind of thing, and the monster just answered when he asked himself.

"Dude, I understand your feelings, I was often scolded as a black * when I was a child, don't pay attention to them as a lump of **, but I can't pretend that I didn't hear what you said later!"

After saying hello, the monster turned and left.

"But this kind of thing is not easy to publicize without evidence, and this is a place for competition and not vindictiveness, I think you understand!"

Kobe Bryant said to Huang Yu after seeing the monster leave, he didn't want to lose the game because of Huang Yu's impulsive actions.

"Of course, I'm not an idiot, although there is freedom of speech in the United States, but there are some very sensitive topics that are tantamount to self-judgment when they are said without evidence."

"If only you knew!"

Kobe Bryant said lightly, although he has been in contact with Kobe for almost a year, I really want to beat him when I see him pretending to be 13 with a straight face!

----------

At the beginning of the game, Bynum helped the Lakers win the ball, Gasol felt hot and hit two shots shortly after the opening, the Lakers started the game 8-2, and Huang Yu also hit a mid-range shot as a starter.

However, the Magic still maintained the style of play in the previous game, allowing the Magic to start tossing on the inside, but the Monster's movements were very smooth, and the hook hand and the basket helped the Magic bite the score.

Five minutes into the game, Kobe Bryant, who had been passing the ball, was about to make his own shot, he hit a jumper first, and then hit a three-point shot, and one person launched a wave of 7-1 offense, and the Lakers led 19-14.

Kobe Bryant suddenly went crazy, the Magic's defense couldn't prevent it at all, and with 34.9 seconds left in the first quarter of the game, Kobe Bryant's shot was blocked by Betty, but when he attacked again, Kobe shook Petrus up on the outside, not only hit a three-point shot but also caused a foul, and scored 4 points with free throws, and the Lakers ended the quarter with a 31-27 lead. Kobe Bryant shot 7-of-10 in the quarter and scored 17 points in a single quarter.

Huang Yu made two shots, scored 4 points and 2 rebounds, and everyone else except for Gasol was about the same as himself, almost all of them only shot once, the Lakers are such a team, once Kobe Bryant is crazy and hits, the player will involuntarily hand the ball to Kobe.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Odom came off the bench to help the Lakers keep an eye on the Magic's counterattack, and with 8 minutes and 21 seconds left, Farmar who came off the bench hit a three-point shot to help the Lakers extend their lead to 5 points, but the Magic's shooters began to exert their power, and Turkglou, who was replaced after only 5 minutes on the court in the first quarter, immediately returned a three-pointer, and then Michael Petrus, who came off the bench, also hit a shot after that, and the Magic equalized the score.

In the second quarter, the Magic's shooting rate was extremely high, and the Lakers' defense obviously couldn't limit them, so Phil Jackson replaced Kobe, but after Kobe Bryant's shooting rate dropped sharply after this quarter, and the Magic took this opportunity to gradually exceed the score and ended the first two quarters with 59-54.

In the first half, the Magic shot 24 of 32, shooting 75 percent, and four people have scored in double figures. The Lakers' shooting percentage, although also above 50%, pales in comparison.

Bryant, who only scored 4 points in the second quarter, was still in no better shape in the third quarter, missing consecutive shots, and couldn't even find a sense of free throws. With 8:30 left in the quarter, he drew a foul on Courtney Lee from beyond the three-point line, but only made one of three free throws. It wasn't until 1:20 left in the quarter that Bryant hit a three-point shot, which was his only shot of the quarter. Bryant hit just two shots in the second and third quarters, and the Lakers trailed 75-81 after the first three quarters.

Bryant didn't play for five minutes in the fourth quarter until he reappeared, after the Magic had a nine-point advantage. Bryant didn't shoot for three minutes after coming on, and he didn't hit a shot until 3:57 left in the quarter as the Lakers trailed the score at 97-99. Gasol then made two free throws to level the score.

The Magic's advantage was lost, but Petrus hit a dunk at the crucial moment, and Alston hit a free throw to regain the lead at 102-99 with 1:54 left in the game.

Both teams battled hard until the last minute. With 28.7 seconds left in the game, the Lakers trailed by just two points and possessed the ball, but Gasol was fouled on a steal and Petrus hit two free throws to extend the Magic's advantage at 106-102.

The Lakers missed consecutive shots after that, and Kobe Bryant only made a basket before the end, but he was powerless.

----------

After the opening game, Howard dominated the basket, constantly grabbing rebounds and causing Gasol and Bynum to foul. Alston also continued to put on an eye-catching performance, scoring twice in a row halfway through the quarter, including a difficult throw-up to give the Magic a 16-11 lead. The Lakers could only rely on Kobe Bryant, who scored 13 points in the first quarter, but the Lakers trailed 20-24.

The Magic continued to control rebounds in the second quarter and quickly opened up the gap, and with 7:40 left in the quarter, Lewis hit a three-pointer to give them a double-digit 37-27 lead. Bryant came on with a three-pointer, but it was only a drop in the bucket, and the Lakers scored only two points in the final four minutes of the quarter, trailing 37-49 in the first half.

In the first half, the Lakers shot only 12 of 42, shooting only 33%, including 1 of 10 three-pointers, although Kobe Bryant scored 16 points alone, but the Lakers could not get rid of the disadvantage. Howard was unstoppable, grabbing 14 rebounds and five blocks in the first half.

In the second half, the Lakers decided to split the two teams, Fisher shot at the beginning of the quarter, then Ariza dunked, Kobe Bryant also reopened the fire, hit a three-point shot, the Lakers started the quarter with an 18-5 wave, and halfway through the quarter, Bynum hit two free throws and two free throws, and they went up 55-54. With the exception of Kobe, everyone else was back on track, and Odom also hit a three-pointer after that. Defensively, the Lakers stepped up and finally limited the Magic's scoring, and after three quarters, the Lakers led 66-63. Bryant scored eight points in the quarter.

The Lakers started the fourth quarter with a six-point advantage. With 7:54 left in the quarter, Petrus hit a three-pointer to tie the score at 70-73, but Bryant immediately stepped on the three-point line to return the color, and the Lakers regained a five-point advantage. After the Lakers didn't score a point in the next two minutes, the Magic counterattacked, and with 5:38 left in the quarter, Petrus made a fast-break layup and caused Kobe Bryant to foul, and after scoring three points with free throws, the Magic went ahead 76-75.

The two teams have been tied several times since then. Turkglou hit two straight shots and scored five straight points to give the Magic an 87-82 lead with 1:34 left in the quarter. After Gasol hit a 2-pointer, Howard missed two free throws, giving the Lakers a chance and repeating the free throw curse of the Rocket Magic series 14 years ago.
