Chapter 494: The Noise of Public Opinion
Who will admit fate?
No one would, in today's NBA, James will not accept this so-called ethereal fate.
"I know there's been a lot of talk lately about my destiny and that I don't have a chance of winning another championship. It's ridiculous, of course, because for us, this series is just getting started. We have a very unified belief that if we win the home game, my destiny will be in my hands, and no one can impose it on me. ”
Before the smoke of the third war, James became the most wanted target for reporters. Because of the previous consecutive losses to the Lakers in the Finals, James was under tremendous pressure, and fate said that he had been pressed on his head by the outside world. But for him, who claims to be the chosen son, resigned to fate? That's obviously not realistic.
As the Big Three, Irving and Love chose to remain silent, they did not give interviews to the media, and it seemed that the atmosphere of the Cavaliers seemed a little depressing. However, for the Lakers, who have come from afar, this is definitely not a good sign.
"There will be seeds of explosion under the calm and it will be a tough game for us. Of course, we are ready to defend our title again and will be able to take on all these challenges. Everyone just needs to do their part and the game will be easy......"
Chu Xuan made a mobilization declaration before the third game, he knew the difficulty of fighting in Cleveland, and importantly, he knew that the league would not easily let the game end in four games, so the Lakers would have to face not only a strong opponent Cavaliers in the next game, but also an undercurrent from the league.
Of course, he won't put this speculation on the surface. Because, every player knows the trick in this, and after all these years of competition, they already know how to face all this.
"100% effort! 120% hard work! Everyone is tightly united, and the result will be a matter of course. ”
The Black Mamba is old, but his competitive ability is still good, and for today's Lakers, his existence not only means that the Lakers have a strong player, Black Mamba has become the soul of the Lakers, he is here, the flag of purple and gold will not fall, and everyone will feel dependent.
Under Bryant's leadership, the Quick Loan Center Arena ushered in an earth-shattering game.
Why is this game earth-shattering? Because the Cavaliers defeated the Lakers, and the last shot was still a controversial decision, and because the Big Three scored 30+ at the same time in this game, the three of them scored 102 points. This game is indeed not an exaggeration to describe it as earth-shattering, because this battle has created too many records, and the important thing is that after this battle, public opinion from the outside world is in an uproar......
"Black Whistle! At the behest of the league, the referee took over the game! For the sake of ratings, for the benefit of the league, the league helped the Cavaliers and made the score 1:2! ”
That's right! It's a black whistle! A game, shrouded in the storm of black whistles!
"Admittedly, it was a beautiful game, but it was made ugly by the intervention of the league! I don't like all this, although the Cavaliers pulled one back, but in my opinion, the Lakers have won it all, and the championship will be the Lakers, there is no doubt about it! Barkley made a public comment, and he embraced the Lakers. This time, no one contradicted him, and instead he gained the support of countless people.
However, the Coalition would prohibit the existence of these voices. First, Barkley was fined $2 by the league for inappropriate comments as a commentator, and at the same time, the league publicly stated that no one interfered in the series, and the Cavaliers won the game on their own. That said, the league doesn't think there was anything wrong with the decision in this game.
All this has caused a more intense reaction from fans, and public opinion has become even more crazy!
"We want to see the most authentic finals, please give the game back to the players!"
The call resounded in the June sky, and as Barkley said, although the Lakers have not won the championship yet, they have won it all!
"That's a $20,000 deal! I don't regret what I said. However, in order not to be fined again, I will remain silent for the rest of the series, and let's wait and see. The $2 made Barkley honest, and after a simple response, he switched roles and stopped commenting on league decisions. However, Barkley still expressed his opinion in another way, on Twitter, Barkley said that Chu Xuan will make some adjustments and changes in the future, which is a necessary quality for a great coach.
In fact, as Barkley said, in Cleveland, in the hotel where the Lakers stayed, Chu Xuan led Nash and several other assistant coaches to analyze the game video of the third game.
The third game was a great game indeed, both sides were in excellent form, and it was a pinnacle-to-point match. However, Chu Xuan also agreed with the statement that the Cavaliers won the game with the help of the league.
The Cavaliers had a great touch and hit 20 three-pointers across the board, but it wasn't enough for them to win the game. Because the Lakers were also very good at three-point shooting, the Lakers threw in a three-pointer. This is the first time in the history of the Finals that both sides hit 20 three-pointers at the same time, and the total number of goals scored from 41 three-pointers in the game is a record.
The key to the Cavaliers winning the game is free throws! The Cavaliers got a total of 39 free throws compared to the Lakers' 17! There are at least double-digit controversial penalties here! Of the 39 free throws, the Big Three scored 31 of them, which is why they were able to combine for 102 points. Obviously, this is a star whistle, and it can even be a black whistle as public opinion says! But even if you are full of resentment, what can you change? And since the alliance has done so, it will naturally be able to bear the consequences.
This is the reason why Chu Xuan chose to be silent, instead of complaining, it is better to find a way to solve the game and solve the interference of external forces!
Of course, Chu Xuan was also angry in his heart, he could accept the league's biased penalty, but what he couldn't accept was that at the last moment of the game, the referee made two obvious mistakes in a row, directly giving the Cavaliers 4 points, which also made the Lakers powerless! It is believed that this is the source of the black whistle statement, because at the last moment, the referee should give the game to the players.
Chu Xuan felt a headache, there was too much game information he needed to digest, but in order to win the championship, he had to work hard to do his homework.
The coaching staff stayed in the room for a full five hours before they left, and it was a long process, especially for the reporters waiting outside the hotel door.
When he learned from the interview reporter that Barkley was fined by the league for publicly supporting the Lakers, Chu Xuan's originally unhappy mood suddenly improved:
"Charles is a very good buddy, he is definitely a good person in this matter, I have the opportunity to invite him to drink!" 8)
