Chapter Eighty-Four: Victory in the First Battle
(Somehow it's always in the review state and can't read it, so I resent this chapter, and if that chapter is reviewed and repeated through programming, mention it in the book review area.) )
Eventually, the Mavericks' head coach abandoned the foul play.
The whistle blew at the end of the game, and in the midst of long boos, the Lakers finally won the game, and the overall score was 1:3 to drag the game back to Los Angeles.
In this game, the Mavericks' Terry scored 32 points, including 9-of-10 three-pointers to tie the league's single-playoff single-game three-point record, and Peja Stojakovic also had 18 points, and the Mavericks shooters led by the two of them made a total of 19 three-pointers, almost breaking the NBA playoff three-point record.
J.J. Barria scored a playoff high 22 points, Dirk Nowitzki had 17 points, seven rebounds and four assists, and Tyson Chandler had five points and nine rebounds.
For the Lakers, Kobe Bryant had 20 points, Shannon Brown had 10 points and three steals, Ron Artest had 11 points, Pau Gasol had 10 points, eight rebounds and six assists, Lamar Odom had 10 points and Derrick Fisher had five points and seven rebounds.
The most brilliant is undoubtedly Wang Meng, who has been unable to play due to the ban, he shot 12 of 16 in this game, including 7 of 7 three-point shots, scored a total of 31 points, and got 6 assists, which is the best in the game.
After this game, the whole league began to face up to this Chinese player who did not participate in the draft, if the madness of the regular season was a fluke, then he could still score 30 points in the playoffs where the defense was almost suffocating, which shows that he really has some strength.
The NBA league is not stupid, especially the team managers, they immediately discovered Wang Meng's potential and the vast Chinese market behind him, Wang Meng does not need to be too strong, as long as he can fight against the NBA first-line stars, he will definitely become the most profitable player in the league, Yao Ming's success is something that everyone wants to copy.
The Lakers have no room to renew Wang Meng's contract, which means that Wang Meng's surname is very small next season to stay with the Lakers, so where Wang Meng will go next is a mystery.
After this game, Wang Meng's agent Rob received calls from nearly half of the NBA teams, and their purpose was exactly the same, they all wanted to sign Wang Meng next season, and they came to explore the wind first.
Rob rejected them one by one according to Wang Meng's request, on the grounds that he wanted to prepare for the playoffs with all his might, and he didn't want to think about these for the time being.
After the Dallas game, the Lakers will return to Los Angeles to face the fifth game with the Mavericks, Wang Meng and others flew back to Los Angeles, and as soon as they got off the plane, they could see the surrounding fans holding banners and cheering.
Wang Meng took a closer look, and most of these banners read "Lakers, don't give up." "The Lakers create a new miracle." In other words, the Lakers have never lacked fanatical fans.
After getting off the plane, Wang Meng went to see Bowen as usual, Bowen had been discharged from the hospital, and he had to go to his home to see him.
"Who?" Hearing a knock on the door, Bowen asked in the room.
"I, Wang Meng."
"Wang Meng is here!" Bowen immediately walked over quickly and opened the door for Wang Meng.
As soon as the door opened, Wang Meng immediately saw Bowen's empty trouser leg, and felt an inexplicable pain in his heart.
"I watched your Mavericks' game, it's really amazing, just like this, the Lakers can definitely win the Mavericks." Bowen didn't notice Wang Meng's eyes, and said happily. "Come on in."
Wang Meng walked into the room and gave Bowen a small gift he bought in Dallas. "Give, give you a gift."
"Thank you." Bowen happy hand gifts.
"What about your mother?" Wang Meng asked.
"She's out." Speaking of this, Bowen suddenly paused, "Go buy a plane ticket." ”
"Plane tickets?" Wang Meng didn't know why, "Are you going on a business trip?" ”
"It's not." Bowen looked a little low, "We're going back home." ”
"Returning home?" Wang Meng was stunned.
"That's right." Bowen nodded, "Go back to China." ”
Wang Meng suddenly fell silent, he had no friends in Los Angeles, the Bowen family was his only friend, and now they were going back to China, which made Wang Meng a little disappointed.
"It's good to go back to China, your mother's work pressure here is too great, she doesn't have time to take care of you, and the nanny here is so expensive, if you are in China, it will undoubtedly be much easier." Wang Meng nodded and said, "Where are you going to go when you return to China?" ”
"Shanghai, we are Shanghainese." The blog post said.
"Well, I'm going to go back to China to see my family after this season, and I'll go to Shanghai to see you then." Although Wang Meng's hometown is in Hubei, it is not particularly far from Shanghai, so there is no problem.
"You've got to win the playoffs." Bowen smiled: "Until now, no Chinese player has won the NBA championship in the starting situation, maybe it is the first one." ”
"A must." Wang Meng also smiled.
Although Wang Meng thinks that the Lakers will win the championship, there is still some possibility that the Lakers will win the championship, but in the eyes of the major media, the Lakers are basically finished, and they have not been able to turn the tables in the history of 3:0 since the establishment of the NBA, how can it appear at this time? At least the celebrities are not optimistic.
"The Magician" Erwin. Johnson: "The Lakers do have a bunch of really good players and great coaches, but the reality is the reality, and the possibility that the Lakers want to win the championship is really slim, and the surname may be infinitely close to 0 percent. ”
"Sky Hook" Karim. Abdul. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar: "Lakers' center Bydam hasn't been able to play as well as he should, maybe because of the team, or maybe it's his own, but if he keeps playing like that, it's going to be very difficult for the Lakers to go far in the playoffs." ”
"Jazz" Charles. Barkley: "Long live Brother Meng, Brother Xinmeng, don't fail the course, Brother Xinmeng, get eternal life, Brother Xinmeng, win the championship." ”
Kenny. Smith: "Okay, please ignore the fat guy next to me, he has the Worship Wang Meng syndrome and there is no cure. ”
Not only these basketball celebrities, but even the newspapers of the newspaper have already expressed their opinions.
The headline of the day in the Los Angeles Times was, "The Lakers' Last Solo? The last stand of dynastic hope? Or a moth to a fire? "In their eyes, the Lakers are completely hopeless.
No matter what the outside world thinks, none of the Lakers' players have a mentality of slacking off, and the second day back in Los Angeles, the Lakers did some recovery work in the training hall, and tomorrow, they will welcome the Mavericks, who are already three points ahead of them, ready to fight to the death again.
"We're going to win." Again, that's the same sentence.
