Chapter 457: Western Decision (6)

Los Angeles, the Spanish word for City of Angels, is a city bordered by the Pacific Ocean with all the glitz and prosperity imaginable in the world, as well as joys and sorrows that the world can't imagine.

People can find the love of the world in the city, and they can also feel the cold-blooded and piercing in the city, or the forbidden love that is not allowed in the world, in short, this is a mixed city, but also a tolerant city.

When you come to Los Angeles, some people come for the star, and more people come for the star.

This city, which rose in the twenties of the last century, has seen countless stars, but at the same time, countless unknown people have disappeared into the city.

However, it is clear that guests who come to the city this time will not be welcomed by ordinary people, whether they are celebrities or not, and in the eyes of Los Angeles fans, the arriving Runners are their out-and-out enemies.

For a city that has won many championships, a team that has beaten them four times in a season is undoubtedly the least popular person in the city, and despite the picky fans in the city, and despite the fact that many of the people in the city are good at playing high and low, Los Angeles is unanimous at this time, and they don't want their team to fall in the Western Conference Finals for two years in a row.

Although the Los Angeles media and commentators alike have renewed their optimistic estimates about the Western Conference Finals, the entire Lakers know how lucky they were to win the last game.

Everyone is a figure in the league, and the two sides are actually clear about why the last game was played like this, so the Lakers themselves are actually not very confident about the next game, because they don't know how much the league will help them.

On the contrary, the Runners who came to Los Angeles actually arrived with a strong sense of resentment, and they were very angry about the result of the last game.

In the last game, the Runners can be said to have lost very unjustly, and at the end of the game, the starting five of the Runners were all together, except for Turgon, everyone else was carrying five fouls, and how to play in such a situation, basically did not dare to do any action.

At that time, Wang Lei was also very decisive, he did not let a few starters play, and Wang Lei chose to give up knowing that he could not do it, and he sent rotation players to practice, giving those in the league who have been manipulating the game a proper excuse and reason.

Wang Lei knows that if he still plays strong or turns the tables in this situation, it will only make the runners' future games more difficult, and the hidden controllers of the game will definitely not want to see this Western Conference Finals just become a performance stage for one side.

The ratings and the preferences of most neutral viewers will directly affect the process of this Western Conference Finals, so Wang Lei still gave up the game at the last moment of the game.

After coming to Los Angeles, Wang Lei tried his best to adjust the players to maintain a normal mentality, and he knew that if the players really went to play with a grudge, then the next game is not expected to have any good results.

Because he came to Los Angeles a day early, the Runners had a day off, and Wang Lei didn't arrange any other training after taking the team to Staples Arena for an hour of acclimatization.

Generally speaking, the runner team will arrange tactical rehearsal training the day before the game, using this tactical drill to let the players get into the state as soon as possible on the game day, but Wang Lei took the players and coaching staff members to charter a theater this time, and then everyone watched a comedy for more than four hours together.

In this way, the players of the Runners team have a relatively peaceful mentality, they are no longer entangled in the depression of the previous game, on the contrary, they are already looking forward to the next game under the guidance of Wang Lei.

When the Runners stepped into Staples Arena for the fifth time this season, the crowd of 20,000 greeted the visitors with a raspy boo.

Los Angeles fans are very picky about the home team, but their loyalty to the home team is unquestionable, and many of Hollywood's biggest stars have their own seats in Staples, and they are taking advantage of the occasion to show off their style today.

Before the start of the game, Van Lauderway cheered his team on for the last time.

"This is Staples, this is our home stadium, there are 20,000 people and the whole city cheering us on, and I hope that everyone can put aside some unnecessary thoughts and focus on the game, and we will be the winner."

Although the Lakers won a bit dirty in the last game, they quickly adjusted their mentality, because everyone knows that as long as they win the final championship, no one cares how it goes.

However, the biggest obstacle in front of the Lakers is undoubtedly the powerful Runners, although the mentality of the players is well adjusted, but they are still well aware of the strength of the current opponent, so every Lakers player in the next game has a desperate plan.

After the start of the game, the Runners were the first to enter the state.

After playing their first two games, the Runners players are less nervous even on the road, they have adjusted to the atmosphere of the Western Conference Finals, and they have a greater expectation of victory.

Turgun dribbled through the backcourt quickly, Charles Mobley was still cautious, neither dared to stick too close, nor dared to retreat, for how to defend Turgon, in fact, the point guards of many teams in the league are very headaches.

Turgon, who came to the front, did not go it alone this time, he hoisted the ball into the hands of Erwin, who was on the inside.

Although Elvin is at a disadvantage in height, his chassis is very stable, and he is not inferior to the Lakers' interior line when it comes to position.

After receiving the ball, Ervin leaned in with Stelle Carter behind him, and then immediately shifted the ball to a 45-degree angle on the other side as the Lakers contracted.

Salish received the ball without any pause, and directly transferred it to the hands of Blair in the bottom corner, who received the ball and hit a three-point shot directly, which is a typical positional battle style of the Runners, concise, efficient, and at the same time has extremely distinctive tactical characteristics.
