Chapter 81: Unfair Play

In the locker room, Bryant was angrily arguing with Fisher about how the ball was handled several times in the game, and the two were almost at loggerheads when Harris came over to stop their argument. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"It's not just one person who is wrong in this game, it's all of us!" Harris coldly swept over the Lakers players and said. "We played badly in the fourth quarter, I don't understand if you're walking or playing, how hard are you guys?"

Looking at Harris's sharp eyes, the Lakers' group of players lowered their heads, and if you think about it, it is true that although it seems that they lost because some details were not done well, but on the whole, it was because they flinched in the fourth quarter, they lost their indomitable momentum, and blindly sought stability for the sake of victory, but lost the opportunity to win.

"In the playoffs, no team is a weak team, I advise you to put away that bit of arrogance, and to underestimate your opponent is to fail!" Harris sounded a wake-up call to the players at this moment, in fact, he lost today, but he felt that it was a good thing, after all, if he could make it to the next round, he would face the Jazz, he didn't think that the current Lakers had the ability to compete with the Jazz, rather than being abused at that time, it was better to accumulate more experience in the first round and the Trail Blazers.

Sure enough, only losing was the best way to wake up the team, and the Lakers' players were silent, and even at the next press conference, they put away their arrogance and began to praise the Trail Blazers' performance.

On the same day as the Lakers, the Chicago Bulls also narrowly defeated the Washington Bullets by one point 96:95 and successfully swept the bullets with a score of 3:0 to advance to the Eastern Conference semifinals.

On May 1, Magic star Anfernee Hardaway announced his early comeback in the fourth game between the Miami Heat and the Orlando Magic, he played 26 minutes, scored 15 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists, and it seems that he is recovering well, and Shaq O'Neal also continued his retrograde playoff performance, he played 36 minutes, 29 points, 13 boards, 2 assists and 3 blocks.

The Heat stuck to a seven-man rotation, and Alonzo Mourning played the full 48 minutes, scoring 23 points and 13 rebounds on 9-of-18 shooting, but he couldn't contain O'Neal's hoops under the basket, and the Heat lost to the Magic 91-99 again.

The Miami Heat, who ranked second in the East, went out 1:3 in the first round, which became the first big upset this season.

And there was an upset in the East, and everyone turned their attention to the game between the Western SuperSonics and the Suns, and now the SuperSonics are 1:2 behind the Suns.

But the SuperSonics slapped everyone in the face, as they defeated the Suns 122-115 in overtime on the road to drag the game to a tie-break.

Gary Payton and Rainman Sean Kemp both broke out, Payton played 53 minutes and got 28 points, 14 assists and 7 rebounds, while Kemp played 42 minutes and played 24 points and 20 boards.

However, the SuperSonics will have home-court advantage in the fifth game, and the Suns will hang in the balance.

The Lakers have been training in Portland for the past two days because of time problems, and the environment left by the Rose Garden for them to train can be said to be terrible, after all, at this time, the enemies of the two sides are very angry, and it is already good to be able to give you a temporary use of the training hall, as for the environmental conditions? Hehe......

The next night, Portland's Rose Garden Arena.

Game 4 between the Lakers and Trail Blazers began.

Everyone thought that this would be a pinpoint-to-wheat match, but what they didn't expect was that the Lakers were in a very bad state today, not that they were not highly motivated, on the contrary, the Lakers compared to the last game, the passion for playing has rekindled a lot, but the problem is not with them, because on the defensive end, they were blown a lot of inexplicable fouls, which were converted into free throws by the Trail Blazers.

In the first quarter alone, Kobe and Tony have each committed two fouls, and the others have also had about one, so Harris had to break up his starting lineup in the first quarter, and he replaced Kobe and Tony all off the court, so that the Lakers' offense was suddenly confused, and the defense became a scattered dish.

The Trail Blazers seized the opportunity, and they constantly attacked the Lakers' remnants.

By the end of the first quarter, the Lakers were trailing by 13 points.

At the start of the second quarter, Tony was finally able to play again, but within two minutes, he was whistled for a defensive foul on Sabonis during a Trail Blazers offense.

That's!

β€œwhat???? Lao Tzu didn't touch him at all! Tony was furious, and he rushed to the referee and questioned loudly.

The referee glanced at him and said coldly, "Mr. Mars, please keep your distance from me." ”

"You son of a bitch!!" Tony cursed in a low voice,

"Drop!"

The referee still heard Tony's swearing, and he gave Tony a technical foul on the spot.

A wave of anger welled up in his heart, and Tony stepped forward to try to punch the referee, but Kobe and Hawley hugged him firmly behind him.

"Hey big man! Don't be impulsive!! We all know it's a black whistle. Hawley was constantly calming Tony's emotions, and now on this occasion, as a team leader, the most important thing is to be calm.

Harris had no choice but to trade Tony again, and there was nothing he could do about the league's decision.

At halftime, the Lakers were already behind by more than 20 points, and the frequent blowing of penalties has made the Lakers' lineup fragmented, not to mention the tactics, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the whistle of this game is really too biased.

In the end, Tony chose to leave the court with 6 fouls, and this kind of ugly duel made him feel disgusted for a moment on the court. Harris didn't blame him for anything, although he was also very angry in his heart, but after he also received a technical foul during a protest, he understood after years in the league that some games were predestined and no one could change them.

108:80

The Lakers lost by 28 points on the road.

"I don't think it's a fair game!" Kobe Bryant was very angry at the post-game press conference, and Tony had already refused to be interviewed, and of course he couldn't help but start complaining, "According to normal times, it is absolutely impossible for the other party to win us so much." ”

"So, Mr. Bryant, do you think there's something going on in this game?"

"Don't you have eyes of your own??!! Kobe Bryant choked back angrily.

Harris also saw that there was something wrong with Kobe's mood, and he quickly took over the topic.
