Wade and Paul have both admitted in front of the media that the reason they chose the No. 3 jersey is because of Iverson, and now the Bulls and Clippers have both been swept, and they don't know if it's their own pathos or the pathos of the No. 3 jersey. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The Eastern Conference semifinals continued, with the Cavaliers sweeping the Bulls, but the Celtics and Pacers are currently tied 2-2, and it is difficult to predict who will win and who will lose.

However, the divisional finals on the western side started early.

The Warriors and Lakers, who also swept their opponents, are the two favorites to win the championship this year, and they meet again on this court after meeting in the division finals last year.

With the lessons of last year, the Warriors' players, including Green, were very low-key before the game, and Kerr refused to even practice with the media in order not to put pressure on the players.

The Lakers also kept a low profile, and the players still trained as they did on weekdays.

But the quieter the situation, the more it feels like there's an undercurrent, and everyone knows that both teams are preparing for the final.

The matchup of this round of the series has also made it difficult for many experts to predict, and the experts who always like to comment in the past have rarely chosen to remain silent at this time.

Of course, the low profile of the team and experts does not mean that the popularity of this game is not high, on the contrary, the attention of this game is unprecedentedly high, not to mention that the tickets have long been gone, even the tickets at the Staples Center Arena have been sold out early.

After the Warriors opened up the market for live away games the year before, it has gradually become a trend to watch away games in the playoffs.

On the evening of May 19, U.S. time, the Oracle Arena in Oakland and the Staples Center in Los Angeles, with a total of nearly 40,000 seats, were already full.

At the same time, on Twitter, the topic of the Western Conference Finals also exploded instantly, although it was not a live chat tool, but the speed of fans' replies on related topics was faster than one another.

Among them, a topic published by Twitter named "Sui Yuankong" on "Why doesn't the Oracle Center add seats" has caused widespread heated discussions among fans, and many fans who have money but can't buy tickets are spitting wildly in this topic.

The heat of this game, as the time of the game approaches, is getting bigger and bigger.

And just before this game, maybe unintentionally, maybe intentionally, some fans summarized Tang Shuai's data performance in the first two rounds of the series on Twitter, compared him with last year, and even the regular season, and found that Tang Shuai's data fell by as much as 50%, this fan attached his own judgment at the end of the article, he believes that the Lakers Big Three run-in is certainly pleasing to fans, but Tang Shuai is falling into the dilemma of competing for the ball with his star teammates, and his tactical position is constantly declining. This phenomenon is especially evident in the playoffs, where coaches at a high level are all about watching the stars play, and the Lakers' prospects in this series are worrying.

This seems to be a ridiculous statement, but it is such a statement, in the context before the war between the two sides, it has sparked a crazy discussion among fans, and no one can convince anyone with the different arguments for and against.

When Tang Shuai and the Lakers team entered the scene, they fully felt the madness of the home fans, in addition to the normal F4 KT board, many fans held the Lakers Big Three beaten and cried funny inflatable balls, the most of which were Tang Shuai's, and there were no less than twenty or thirty of them on the spot.

After setting a regular season record for two consecutive years but missing the championship, the desire of Warriors fans for the championship has reached a feverish level, especially after being eliminated by Tang Shuai's team for two consecutive years, and their resentment towards Tang Shuai has reached a certain peak.

And it's all said that it's not more than three, and if it comes again this year, God knows if the little hearts of Warriors fans will be able to stand it.

After a frenzied opening ceremony, players from both sides took to the field for the final training session before the game.

The LED screen at the scene soon showed the starting lineups of both sides.

The starting lineup on the Lakers' side has not changed from the first two rounds of the series, and the combination of the Big Three plus Yi Jianlian and Mike Dermott is increasing.

The Warriors, on the other hand, are still playing F4 + Bogut lineup.

Although they lost to the Lakers in the opening game, they won three consecutive victories over the Lakers in the regular season, and they had a mental advantage.

After the final warm-up, the starters of both sides came onto the court, looking at each other with serious eyes, even Curry did not grit his teeth like before.

"Toot!"

With the referee's whistle, the basketball was thrown high into the air and Cousins flicked the basketball back over Bogut's head, giving the visitors the opportunity to take the lead.

Tang Shuai advanced to the front court with the ball, and Thompson quickly led the defense.

Tang Shuai glanced at Thompson, and did not choose to attack strongly in the opening game, but beckoned his teammates to run as he did in the previous series.

Mike Dermott made two consecutive counterruns under the basket, and finally got rid of Durant with Yi Jianlian's defense, and Tang Shuai followed and passed the ball.

A very good three-point opportunity.

Mike Dermott makes a three-point shot.

"Bang!"

The angle of the basketball was positive, but there was some deviation in the control of the power, and this three-point shot was missed.

"Retreat! Retreat! ”

Tang Shuai knew that the Warriors' fast break was a trick, and after missing the shot, he beckoned his teammates to return to defense while retreating.

The Warriors didn't get too good a fast-break opportunity, and Curry saw that there was no chance, so he pressed down the tempo and pushed to the frontcourt.

Durant and Thompson kept running back and forth on both sides, and they didn't easily make the action of asking for the ball.

From this small detail, it can be seen that the Warriors really attach importance to the Lakers this time, and they are very patient and careful.

And patience, can always find opportunities, Yi Jianlian was hit by Durant, his center of gravity was a little unstable, and he wanted to chase Green immediately, but he found that Durant used him as a cover, and he turned directly out of the three-point line.

Curry's pass followed.

"Huh!"

With just three seconds left on the offensive clock, Durant's outside three-pointer pierced the center.

A burst of cheers from the fans at the home stadium.

On the Lakers' side, Tang Shuai advanced to the front court and signaled Cousins to be in the interior position.

The Warriors didn't take the bag clip.

Tang Shuai followed and hit the earth one by one.

Cousins hit Bogut on his back, although Bogut is tall and big, but it also depends on who is right, and after a while, he was crushed by Cousins and walked in.

When Cousins got to near the three-second zone, he pushed Bogut hard and turned around for a hook shot.

At that moment, Green burst out of the diagonal side and slapped Cousins in the face.

"Smack!"

Cousins' shot was blocked by Green!

There was another round of cheers.

Green roared wildly at the audience.

The Warriors started with a game of momentum.

The sideline ball was sent out, and Tang Shuai distributed the ball to Westbrook, who burst to the wall under the basket, encountered strong interference from Bogut, and the shot also slid out of the basket.

The Lakers' opening three offenses all failed to hit!

Bogut grabbed the rebound and quickly launched a fast break, and Thompson went to the front court to receive Durant's pass, and started with a chase three-pointer.

Middle!

6 to 0!

The Warriors are on fire.

As the home team played a climax, fans on Twitter were also excited, and a Warriors fan named "Stephen Ku" sent a message that "the Warriors soared three-point rain and hit consecutive shots", which attracted more than 10,000 message replies in an instant.

Tang Shuai did not immediately adjust the team's offensive style, and the Warriors themselves are a team that is good at three-point shooting, which is within the normal range.

He was right, and over the next half-quarter, the Warriors made all three shots from beyond the three-point line.

However, the Warriors still led the score 16-6, not because of the ferocity of the Warriors, but because of the Lakers' players, who had a very bad opening hand.

It is impossible for a player's feel to be on a level all the time, as strong as Jordan, and there are times when he misses consecutive shots.

In fact, it is very normal for a player to have a bad hand, but if a team has a bad hand, it can really only be regarded as unlucky.

In the first meeting of the series between the two sides, the Lakers fell into a bad situation.

Whether it's Cousins, Mike Dermott, or even Westbrook, they missed shots one after another, and even missed all layups, which really makes people wonder if the home team has added a cover to this basket.

On an offense by the Warriors, Green blocked Yi Jianlian's layup on the defensive end, and then rushed to the front court with the team's fast break, received Curry's empty catch and jumped high in the free throw line, and after smashing the ball into the basket in the air, the whole scene exploded.

"Champion! Look at what is the champion! That's what a champion should be! After all, Green has a big mouth, although he deliberately suppressed it, but after holding it for so long, he finally found an outlet, and he yelled directly.

The cheers at the scene were deafening.

The Warriors' momentum reached a climax.

Billups had to call an early timeout.

"Hit the inside! We need more impact on the inside! Billups was also aware of the player's feel and kept emphasizing it to his players during the timeout.

After the pause came back, Tang Shuai finally didn't let his teammates run anymore, and at this time he had to stand up in advance.

In fact, in the case of increasing fan tacit understanding, he is not willing to start the scoring mode too early, because this will break the original tacit understanding for a long time, just like drinking to quench thirst, which cannot really help the team improve.

However, there are times when exceptions are made, and this is the case at hand.

Tang Shuai advanced to the front court with the ball, pretended to make a passing feint, and then suddenly accelerated to the inside line coldly.

Thompson leaned on his body, constantly interfering with his shot angle with his height and reach.

Tang Shuai didn't dodge or dodge, and his attention was more focused on the help of the other members of the Warriors.

The Warriors did not assist in defense, Tang Shuai saw this, suddenly accelerated, and directly pushed Thompson with a small throw.

Although Thompson is tall and has long arms, his strength is a cut worse than Tang Shuai, and after being pushed away this time, he can only watch Tang Shuai send the ball to the basket in the uproar of the fans.

The Warriors' offense was strong, and Durant turned and hit a shot to help the team maintain the score on the court.

The Lakers pushed to the frontcourt and still gave the ball to Donshuai.

This time the Warriors responded, Kerr beckoned from the sidelines, and Curry immediately wrapped it up.

This is a 3-point defense and 2-point action, but the target is Westbrook, and the object of the bag is Tang Shuai.

"Pass, pass!" When Curry rushed over, he kept shouting at Tang Shuai.

It's a hint that Don Shuai is giving the ball to Westbrook.

When encountering a bag, sharing the ball is the best tactical option, and Curry's hint is like a friendly reminder.

But in fact, Tang Shuai knows, and Curry also knows that his teammates, including Westbrook, don't have a good shooting touch, and when the ball is divided, Westbrook's shot is lower than Tang Shuai's shooting rate, and once he doesn't choose to shoot, the Warriors' goal of preventing Tang Shuai from attacking with the ball will be achieved.

Tang Shuai did not choose to pass.

He didn't even look in Westbrook's direction, the players were not in good shape, it was not enough to increase their shots, it was more about teammates to drive the form.

Curry was rushing over to wrap up the bag when he said this, and just before he rushed to the left, Tang Shuai still chose to change direction to the left, leaning on Thompson, and pushing the ball in his left hand.

However, Curry was significantly faster without the ball, and as soon as Tang Shuai burst to the free throw line, Curry reached out from behind him to grab the ball.

There was a burst of excitement on the faces of the fans on the sidelines, and Curry was very likely to break the ball.

But before they could shout, Tang Shuai leaned on Thompson with his body, pulled the ball directly into his arms, and then turned to the right to avoid Curry's steal while creating a space for himself to shoot.

Thompson stopped and turned back to block, but the tempo was noticeably slower.

"Huh!"

Tang Shuai's leaning back hit steadily.

After the hit, he swung his fist hard.

When he returned to the defense, Westbrook came over and gave him a high-face, and he didn't get angry or anything about his lack of passing.

Having spent so much time with him, Westbrook knew exactly what he was doing it for.

In fact, Tang Shuai's offense has helped the team's morale, and when defending, Durant repeated his old tricks and wanted to eat Mike Dermott again, just when he was about to shoot, Yi Jianlian rushed out from the inside, gritted his teeth and jumped up with a block, although he didn't cover it, but he successfully interfered with his shot.

"Bang!"

Durant's jumper missed, and the rebound was picked up by Cousins.

Cousins took the rebound and handed it to Tang Shuai, who did not play a fast break, but slowly moved forward with the ball.

The Warriors' package at this time is a bit thorough, he has not yet reached the three-point line, and Curry and Thompson's sandwich is almost formed.

This time he chose to give the ball to Westbrook and broke the bag directly.

After giving the ball, he did not stop, and under the signal of Westbrook's tactical gestures, he and Mike Dermott ran around the baseline in a left and right test.

A series of blocking and dismantling and body collisions on the inside line suddenly have a tendency to turn on their backs.

However, Tang Shuai had the advantage of strength, grabbed one, rushed directly out of the crowd, received Westbrook's pass at the free throw line, took a big step to the right, and then made a dry pull-up jumper.

The basket was in a mess at this time, and no one cared about him.

"Huh!"

With a crisp sound, his dry pull hit again.

Counting the previous two times, he scored six points in a row after returning from a timeout, and the score was already close to 12-18.

In the process, the Warriors have adopted a series of defensive tactics such as forcing passes and double packing, but in the end, they have not been able to work.

The game on the field was extremely intense, and the interaction between the audience off the field was also wave after wave.

After this wave of individual scoring, Lakers fans on Twitter began to launch a counterattack, and a fan named "Kill King 0403" tweeted a message that "Tang Shuai can't score, he only scores when the team needs it", which caused a strong response from Lakers fans.

Tang Shuai scored continuously on the offensive end, on the other hand, on the Warriors' side, after a short scoring drought, Curry and Durant tried to stand up and renew the team's points, but at this time, the Lakers' morale on the defensive end was high, and they were stunned to rely on active running and supplemental defense to prevent them.

With two more minutes to play in the first quarter, the Lakers had tied the score at 27-27.

The two sides enter the rotation time of the lineup.

In the opener, the Warriors lost a lot on the bench, but after signing Dio and Matt Barnes at the trade deadline with base salary, the experience and strength of the bench have improved greatly.

Without the original lineup advantage, the Lakers' bench failed to open the score like in the opening game, and the score on the court rose alternately, and the two sides played extremely anxiously.

After the main force came back in the second half of the second quarter, Tang Shuai was still full of firepower, relying on his own strength, and he was stunned and F4 for most of the quarter.

At halftime, he had already made 23 shots, accounting for half of the team's shots, and he contributed 36 points in the half on 15-of-23 shooting, which was a precursor to an explosion.

But Tang Shuai himself knew that in such a high-intensity game with the Warriors, he played half the court like this, and his physical strength was almost exhausted.

Although he didn't show it, if he played like this again in the second half, it would be absolutely impossible for him to hold on to half the game.

Billups also discovered this, in fact, as long as you pay a little attention, you can find that Tang Shuai's face is pale, a typical manifestation of excessive physical exertion.

At halftime, Billups uncharacteristically yelled at the players, especially Cousins and Westbrook, who did not discriminate at all even though they were the core players of the team.

The players were shocked and also felt a wave of shame, especially Westbrook, who has always been strong, and felt guilty for his performance in the first half.

If you don't scold, you can't wake up, Billups's training has had an unexpected effect.

After coming back in the second half, Westbrook hit the interior more frequently, rushed to grab offensive rebounds, and whenever he had the opportunity, he rushed in desperately, regardless of the opponent's fouls, which got him a lot of free throw opportunities, and he slowly found his touch through continuous free throws.

Cousins was also slowly driven, and the Big Three worked together, and the Warriors' F4 was suddenly a little overwhelmed.

Especially Tang Shuai, he is outstanding, the Warriors can't limit it at all, and even more importantly, his passing is also accurate, last season he was able to play evenly with the Warriors with a group of teammates of average strength, and after adding Cousins and Westbrook this season, the growth in strength is obviously more obvious than just one Bogut.

"Bang!"

After Cousins received a pass from Don Shuai and pressed Green to dunk the ball, the audience at the scene no longer knew how to express their emotions.

121 to 105, the difference in points on the court is 16 points, and the Warriors, who have the league's first regular season record, are playing at this time, but there is no hope of winning.

At this time, there were less than 2 minutes left before the end of the game, and Kerr saw that there was no hope of winning, and had already replaced Curry and Durant off the court in advance.

“defense！”

The home crowd cheered for the home team at the end, but the Warriors' bench players were all dazed.

Curry habitually bites his braces, looking at the court and not knowing what he was thinking, Durant wrapped his head in a towel and lowered his head, he couldn't figure out where the gap between the two teams was.

P.J. Tucker's three-point shot in the final minute caused the Lakers players on the sidelines to burst into laughter, and the game was decided.

Tang Shuai was obviously the number one contributor to the victory in this game, he contributed a game-high 54 points on 23-of-42 shooting, in addition to 3 rebounds, 8 assists and 4 steals, showing absolute all-round.

Cousins and Westbrook, who woke up in the second half, also performed well, although Cousins did not score much, only 12 points, but grabbed 23 rebounds, including 5 offensive rebounds in the second half, Westbrook only scored 6 points in the first half, and scored 20 points in the second half, and finally scored the second highest 26 points in the team.

After winning the first game, the Lakers' morale was high, and in the next second meeting between the two sides, although the Warriors' F4 was hot, the Lakers' Big Three were also in good shape, and finally won the game by 4 points.

After two games, the Lakers have taken a 2-0 lead in the big score, and unlike last year, it seems to have become completely one-sided.

"The mentality of the Warriors players has collapsed, and it is said that there was a fierce quarrel in the locker room after the game, although I don't know which two star players are between them, but they are huddled, after two consecutive years of difficulties, they no longer know how to solve the situation in front of them." Kenny Smith, a well-known T.N.T commentator, said bluntly when doing the show.

With a 2-0 lead over the unstoppable Warriors, the players are in good shape, and the outside world speculates that the Lakers will advance to the Finals or even win the championship.

Feng Shui took turns, and the Lakers received more praise than even all of their regular season combined.

The Lakers players are also a little proud.

However, Tang Shuai seems very calm, he believes that the Warriors definitely have more than this strength, at least, Curry and Durant, the two historical superstars, will definitely not admit defeat so easily.
