Chapter 669: The Unyielding City
"I know you're under a lot of pressure right now, and to be honest, as a friend, I feel sorry for you. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" Walking forward for a while, Swift turned his head and said to Tang Shuai.
"Sue has returned home." Tang Shuai said without replying.
Swift stopped and looked at Tang Shuai, his eyes full of worry: "Did you quarrel?" ”
Tang Shuai shook his head, explained the original situation, and finally said: "She has what she wants to do, if I don't let her go, it will be too cruel." ”
"Actually, even if two people are not together, it's nothing, as long as they have each other, it's all the same." Swift spoke.
Tang Shuai nodded and didn't speak, he understood the reason, but in this situation, a person did seem a little lonely, especially because he was used to Su Mei always being by his side.
"I think you should divert your attention, I don't know much about the game, but I know that you guys are going to be out of the game if you lose another game now, and I think if this affects your performance, it will probably become a kind of estrangement between the two of you." Swift continued.
Tang Shuai was stunned for a moment, looked at Swift for a while, and suddenly said: "I never thought before, how did you become an emotional expert now?" ”
"I haven't experienced it, but you know that I'm in an environment where I've seen far more than you think."
"Yes." Tang Shuai nodded.
"I think if you lose, Su should be distressed." Swift said with a somewhat complicated expression.
"Yes, I see." Tang Shuai nodded, although he didn't talk much with Swift, but these words made him think about it all of a sudden.
Perhaps, he should really focus on the next game.
"If you can think about it, I will definitely go to Los Angeles to support you in the next game." Swift said and beckoned to the Humvee behind him.
"I'm going to try to win the game." Tang Shuai nodded.
Swift dropped Don Shuai off at the hotel where the Lakers were staying before leaving.
Not long after he returned to the hotel, his phone rang, and it was Su Mei calling.
"I know the Lakers lost, are you sad?"
Hearing Su Mei's voice, Tang Shuai suddenly felt relaxed in his heart.
"No, it's not sad anymore, when I got your call."
……
After getting the match point, Green, who had been silent for two games before, finally began to speak again, and when asked if he wanted to eliminate the Lakers in the next game, he said bluntly: "Hey, buddy, that's exactly what we're going to do, we're ready to play in the Finals." ”
Green's words were full of arrogance, but at this time, the media stood on the same point of view as him, after the Warriors sacrificed five hours of death, the Lakers could no longer help them chase the score with Tang Shuai's desperate style of play, in other words, Tang Shuai's ability is very good, and he will not be soft at critical moments, but the Warriors' strategy is not to give you such a chance.
No matter how strong the individual ability is, no matter how good the key ball ability, it is a drop in the bucket when the team is behind by more than ten or twenty points.
"If there's anything else that can help the Lakers win games, it's just that Don can score 80 or more, but the truth is, in the playoffs, that's not going to happen." Chris Webb said bluntly on the show.
On May 23, U.S. time, the sixth game between the Lakers and the Warriors was played at the Staples Center, the home of the Lakers.
If they lose this game, the Lakers' playoff journey this season will be over, so the fans present have solemn looks on their faces.
However, the number of fans present is not less.
And there are a lot of eye-catching figures.
Kobe and Johnson appeared in the front row of the arena together, and it was reported not long ago that Kobe Bryant was asking Johnson for business experience, and I don't know if it was because of this that the two wanted to come to the home court to cheer for the Lakers.
In addition, Nicholson brought his children, a son and a daughter to the scene.
There are also actresses such as Swift, Lawrence, and Gomez who also appeared in the arena.
It can be said that this battle of focus has attracted the attention of everyone.
With more than ten minutes left before the start of the game, the players of both teams walked out of the players' tunnel one after another.
The appearance of the players immediately set off a wave of enthusiasm on the scene.
The official issued a set of purple and gold T-hats to each fan, and with the cheers at this time, the scene was a sea of purple gold.
The game hasn't started yet, but the atmosphere is already getting your blood pumping.
The Lakers made changes to the lineup in this game, with Billups putting Gasol back into the starting lineup and Mike Dermott back on the bench, ready to deal with the Warriors' small lineup with a rhythmic approach.
“beat. Warriors! (Defeating the Warriors)"
As soon as the game began, the DJ led the audience to cheer for the home team.
At this time, not only the players and fans were unreserved.
Gasol used the height to get the ball back from Durant, and the Lakers got the opportunity to attack first.
Because of the need to press the rhythm, Tang Shuai did not attack as fast as before, but let his teammates run tactics, and when Gasol was in a good position in the low post, he followed before giving the ball in.
Although he lost the last game, Gasol contributed a series-high 24 points, and it is clear that Gasol's style of passing and shooting on the inside is very effective against a small lineup like the Warriors.
Gasol leaned on Durant and Green immediately came out of the interior to help defend it.
Gasol looked back and saw the help defense, and made a gesture to pass the ball inside, Green suffered a lot in this regard, and immediately retracted, and it was this contraction that Gasol squeezed Durant with his body type, and turned around with a backward shot.
Although Durant is tall and has long arms, he does not have much advantage against Gasol, who is also tall and long, and the block that jumps up and down at this time does not work.
"Huh!"
Gasol's two-pointer hit the ball solidly.
The Lakers scored their first two points of the game.
The Warriors' offense, Curry quickly advanced to the frontcourt, Durant and Thompson ran around the baseline, and he saw the opportunity to give a horizontal pass to Durant, who directly started to jump shot.
"Huh!"
It was also a two-point shot, but it only took 8 seconds from start to finish.
The Warriors' purpose is obvious, to play fast.
The Lakers' offense, Gasol landed again, and Durant went around directly at this time.
After Tang Shuai saw it, he beckoned Noll to a block, passed through the bag between Green and Curry, rushed to the inside to attract Thompson's bag, and then shook his hand and gave the ball to Gasol.
Gasol received the ball, dribbled, and directly took a big stride past Durant, forcing a turn to put the basket.
Durant was much worse than Gasol in terms of weight, and Green was pulled to the free throw line again and did not come back, which played a limited interference role, and Gasol hit again.
Looking back, the Warriors wanted to continue to play fast, but amid the shouts of the home crowd, the Lakers players defended the ball in place, and Thompson finally bounced out of the frame with a defensive three-pointer.
After the Lakers grabbed the rebound, they handed it to Tang Shuai, who did not play fast when he had the opportunity, and slowly dribbled to the front court to press the rhythm.
In addition to the fast pace of their own offense, the opponent's shooting rate is not high, and then play a fast offensive and defensive transition to speed up, it is difficult to play fast by unilateral speed, and now the Lakers are hitting continuously, and the Warriors want to attack instead.
The two sides played at this pace for more than half a quarter, and thanks to Gasol's excellent touch, the Lakers got off to a strong start like they had never seen in previous games, leading 18-11.
Seeing that the small lineup couldn't play to the advantage, Kerr replaced Iguodala with Pachulia and reverted to the regular lineup.
Billups' side was also quick to respond, and took the opportunity to replace Gasol off the field for a break.
After Gasol left the court, the Lakers' offensive center immediately shifted to Tang Shuai.
Because the team's offensive center in the first half of the quarter was all on the inside, Tang Shuai basically didn't attack much in the first half of the quarter, and his physical exertion was basically on the defensive end.
And after talking on the phone the night before, he knew that Su Mei must be watching him on the other side of the ocean, and he was completely at full fire at this moment.
Shake off Durant's dry pull, take advantage of the speed difference to force a layup from Green and Thompson's bag, and force Curry's turn and fall back in the low post, and a three-point cold arrow from the outside.
In the second half of the first quarter, Tang Shuai was so excited that he used a single consumption pack, and used crazy scores to ignite the Staples Center Arena again and again.
The DJ on the scene shouted Tang Shuai's name over and over again, and after Mozgov made up the basket, he even blurted out that Tang Shuai scored a rebound.
It was all a small episode of the game, and in the second half of the quarter, Tang Shuai scored 12 points on a jumper to help the Lakers build a double-digit lead at 35-24.
Leading rather than trailing in the first quarter, and by double digits, which had not happened once in a game before the series, was a surprise to all pundits.
The Lakers will drag the game into a tiebreaker!
In the hearts of every fan at the scene, this idea is becoming a reality little by little.
Everyone was emotional, looking forward to the moment when the home team finally won the game.
But just when this thought just came to mind, the situation on the field suddenly changed in an instant.
During the period when Tang Shuai was rested, Curry, last season's MVP, began to explode at the team's most dangerous moment. (To be continued.) )
