In the second round of the entire playoffs, there is also a group of matchups in the East that enter the tie-break, but it is only the Magic VS Celtics, who are second in the East, and the Celtics, who are third in the East, are far less shocking than the Trail Blazers VS Lakers. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoThe so-called tie-break is the last game of the best-of-seven series, and it is also the final matchup between the two teams. But one way or another, it's a life-and-death duel, either go forward or go home.

And this tie-break was held in Los Angeles, which was very bad for the Trail Blazers.

Many people say that Lakers fans are the most difficult to serve in the entire NBA, and that's right, the entertainment and cultural atmosphere of Los Angeles, coupled with the long and glorious history of the team itself, makes Lakers fans not see a little unsatisfactory, as long as the performance of the players makes them dissatisfied, it is normal to come directly to a few slogans or send boos. But this is also the reason why they are fanatical, and it is precisely because of the depth of love that when it comes to the critical point of the tiebreaker, they will unite to fully support their favorite team and send their opponents to hell with boos.

Not to mention Lakers fans, even if they go to any arena, the visiting team participating in the tiebreaker will feel huge pressure, but the pressure from Los Angeles is even greater. As soon as the Trail Blazers arrived at the hotel where they were staying, they felt the deep malice of the Lakers fans, and the noise outside the hotel made the usually calm Roy frown, not to mention the other players of the Trail Blazers. But they had to protest to the LAPD through official channels, which was an out-of-the-box move, and there are countless in the history of the modern movement, but they had no choice but to protest to the authorities.

Fortunately, the Los Angeles Police Department is one of the largest law enforcement agencies in the United States, and it is very efficient, and after half an hour, the crowd of fans gathered outside the hotel is gone. Out of politeness, McMillan thanked the officers who had come to handle the incident and plunged headlong into the conference room. The 15 players of the team had been sitting in their seats for a long time waiting for the arrival of the head coach, but everyone's faces were not very good, and the atmosphere in the room was a little solemn. While the Lakers haven't made any moves yet, the spontaneous harassment of fans has proven that they are bound to win this series, even if it is despised.

McMillan slapped the table and said in a deep voice: "I think everyone has seen and felt it, and the whole of Los Angeles is supporting the Lakers to win this game." I don't have anything else to motivate you, but each one of you has to think about how we got through the first six games! The media was full of doubts about us, and some people even thought that the Lakers would sweep us in four straight games, but I was glad to see that you gave these people a hard slap in the face! ”

He looked around for a moment and continued, "We don't think anyone on our team has played a tie-break, but there are definitely people who have played in the NCAA tournament. That's right, the tie-break is like a tournament, it's life or death, there is no third option. Maybe we could give up strategically before, and even come up with some very strange lineups and tactics to deal with the opponent, but in the tie-break, all sideways have no effect. We saw through them, they also saw through us, and this game is all about the heritage and will of our two teams. ”

"As the head coach of the team, I have to admit that the Lakers have a better roster than us, they have Kobe, Gasol, Odom and Bynum, and their head coach Phil is much better than me, who is not a rookie. But that doesn't mean we're going to lose, otherwise what's the game? Wouldn't a direct comparison of the strength of the players on both sides be the end of the matter? They have the strength and the foundation, but I believe that your willpower will not lose to them, and I believe that you can once again slap all the insiders in the face. This is your decisive battle, and it is mine, whether we win or lose, let's have a good fight! ”

Everyone looked at the crazy head coach in surprise and secretly sighed. In their impression, although McMillan is rarely stern and never puts on a stinky face of "someone owes me millions", most of the time he is a calm, dignified, unsmiling coach, especially in front of them. Not only newcomers like Ye Feng and Batum, but even players like Roy and Ade, who have been playing for the Trail Blazers for several seasons, have never seen a head coach so enthusiastic, so crazy, and so desperate.

But what they don't know is that their head coach seems to have returned to the years when he wore a supersonic jersey to play in the NBA, when he had "Rain Man" Kemp and "Glove" Payton by his side, they played against the Lakers' ShowTime, and they also stood opposite the peak Jordan, who was he afraid of at that time? Anyone who encounters the supersonic does not dare to say that they will be able to win, because this Seattle team has an iron-blooded defense and unrestrained offense, and no matter how strong the opponent is, he must fight a big fight and never back down! Now, the Seattle SuperSonics are history, and their new name is the Oklahoma City Thunder, but for McMillan, the memory of the SuperSonics never grows old, as if yesterday he was running around the court in the SuperSonic's No. 10 jersey.

Is the Lakers led by "Magic" and Abdul-Jabbar strong? Is the Bulls held up by Jordan and Pippen strong? But the supersonic just dare to play their own style in the game against them, without the slightest fear, even if they lose, they will lose vigorously! That's how McMillan is feeling right now. What are you afraid of losing? Hitting the tie-break was already earned, so why not look forward to it anymore and see if you can go further? Bet everything on yourself, even if you lose, there's nothing to be sad about, even if you die, you have to die on the way to the charge, there are no cowards in my team!

Although McMillan did not continue, every Trail Blazers player felt the vigorous fighting spirit from the head coach, this is a back-to-back battle, life and death, so let the Lakers on top see our strength! Roy stood up, Ye Feng stood up, Ade and Auden stood up, as steady as Blake and even brought down their chairs, everyone didn't speak, but they seemed to say a lot.

Everyone's eyes were saying the same thing: "Come to war!" ”
