Chapter 260: Sweeping the Lakers

The lore, for the Lakers fans on the scene, this is the most painful thing, the victory has been so close to them, they have performed well enough, but in the end they still fell in the most tragic way.

In this game, the Timberwolves' two big inside linemen, Garnett and O'Neal Jr., only played a total of 48 minutes, it can be said that the Timberwolves completely lost the lead, but even so, the Timberwolves won in the end, which makes people have to admire the heritage of this team, this is almost a team with all the people, the best performance in this game is naturally Nash, the organizational guard scored 38 points and handed out 15 assists in this game, which really reminded Lakers fans of the magic man they used to be, It's just that this Magic is not the Lakers but the Timberwolves, and in addition to Nash, Lewis made 7 of 9 three-pointers in this game, which also amazed everyone, and four of these seven three-pointers came in the last five minutes of the fourth quarter, including a stunner.

On the Lakers' side, in addition to their big man O'Neal scored 44 points, the team's third oldest Glen Les also scored 16 points in this game, and his hand was average, which once again made everyone believe in the so-called ' Glen Les' As long as Glen Les scores more than 18 points, the Lakers win, it is obvious that Glen Les can score two more points in this game then the Lakers will finally win this game, of course, the game has no if, although it is only a one-point difference, but the loss is still the Lakers, the Lakers are now 0-3, if 0-2 still has a chance to turn the tables, then the number of 0-3 reversals in history is 0.There has never been a team in history to complete such a feat. Will the Lakers get done?

"We're just down 3-0, and as you can see, the Lakers didn't have no chance to win this game, and the Timberwolves had a lot of luck in this game, and a lot of their role players played extraordinary, and that can't happen forever, so don't jump to that conclusion right now. The Lakers aren't dead right now, and we're going to be able to win this series."

In the post-game press conference, Phil Jackson changed his attitude and talked about the future prospects of the team. Apparently none of these reporters seem to have much interest, for them the Lakers are dead, 0-3 comeback? Still facing the Timberwolves. Against Coach Z, it's impossible.

"The Lakers played a great game, they caused us a lot of problems, especially O'Neal, he played aggressively from the start, we were a little caught off guard by him in this game, it was my mistake, my preparation was inadequate, which caused Kevin and Jermaine to be in foul trouble prematurely, but the good thing is that our players still maintain their style. They're great, they know when to do it, they can control all the bad situations, and I'm really lucky to win this game," Zhuang Fei praised the Lakers with a kind face, which was also a little different from what he used to do.

"Lore? Yes. It was a beautiful goal, and a lot of people will guess the last one, why not Nash? Why not Pierce? Because in my opinion Lewis is the best shot on our team, he's totally capable of it, he's a great guy."

"Kevin and Jermaine's mood? They're all proud players and that probably did have an impact on them. But now that they're completely out of the predicament, I think they'll put on a different show in the next game," said Garnett, and Zhuang Fei smiled deliberately and mysteriously.

In this game, Garnett and Xiao Ao can be said to have been completely blown up by O'Neal, but it is not without gain, at least Garnett is an ability value +1, this big forward with a bit of a sense of responsibility broke through the confinement of A-level players in this game and rose to A+ level players, it can be said that the strength of the Timberwolves will have a leap in the next game, at least A+ Garnett and A-Xiao Ao can be entangled with O's fat. …,

"Hmph, this is not necessarily, Shaq can beat them in one game and can beat them in the second game, don't be happy too early" Phil Jackson said with some yin and yang beside him, and Zhuang Fei didn't care at this time.

"You'll know after the next game" was Zhuang Fei's last sentence at the press conference.

Phil Jackson did not give up, the third game between the two sides gave him hope, at least in his opinion, the Timberwolves are not invincible, at least the Lakers have this opportunity.

Phil Jackson is hopeful, but for the Los Angeles media, the Lakers' journey this season is over, and they don't believe the Lakers can overtake the Timberwolves in the end.

"Actually, I'd like to tell you a fact that's been established, yes, we lost, we've left the playoffs again, this year we lost the chance to fight for the final championship again, you should probably wait another year, the Timberwolves are better than us It's an indisputable fact, both in the regular season and in the playoffs they showed unparalleled dominance, this season they only lost one playoff game, only one away loss against the Trail Blazers, Losing is too difficult for the Timberwolves, I don't think we can really overtake them in the end, but we should at least win one game on our own home court, as long as one game is enough, we shouldn't be swept, the Lakers' strength shouldn't be swept by any team, otherwise it's a shame."

"I don't have any bad opinion of Phil Jackson, even if he lost to Coach Z in this direct playoff matchup, but his results in this year with the Lakers are still perfect, he successfully let the Lakers reach the Western Conference Finals, you must know that our record last year was eliminated by the Jazz in the first round, and his 69 wins in the regular season this year is the best record in Lakers history, which is still perfect for his first year, I am optimistic about his performance next season, don't forget, Didn't Coach Z finally fall in the Western Conference Finals last year, and the Lakers will rise next season."

At this time, all the media in Los Angeles have begun to make a season summary for the team, and even have begun to look forward to next season's performance, for the Lakers, if they can win this year, then it will be considered a complete task, the Los Angeles media is indeed very tolerant of the Lakers, and the same is true for Phil Jackson.

As if to echo the Lakers media's outlook for next season, the Warriors management also released a big deal that shocked the league after the Timberwolves and the Lakers ended a day, the Raptors and the Lakers and the Warriors completed a three-way deal, the Lakers sent away Greenles, the Warriors sent away Szczebiak, and the Raptors sent away Jamison, and the Lakers got the coveted Szczebiak from this three-way deal, and the coveted Phil Jackson was naturally the dream.

In fact, when Zhuang Fei rejected Jerry West, Jerry West had no choice but to keep Phil Jackson, and in the end he could only reduce the pressure on himself to complete Bill Jackson's wishes, and after the end of the season, the Warriors' promise to give Szczebiak a one-year chance was finally realized, Szczebiak still failed to bring any changes to the Warriors, so in the end, it was naturally put on the shelf by the Warriors, and for the Raptors, they also urgently needed an All-Star to replace the gap where Maddie left, although they were no longer ready to stay in Canada, But even going to a new place requires some players to use as a signboard, so the deal was made quickly, and the three parties have been in contact for a long time.

Zhuang Fei was also shocked when he got the news when he watched TV in the hotel, Szzczebiak went to the Lakers, this Kos can make the Lakers cause a qualitative change in a trade, Glen Les and Szzambiak are completely incomparable in the triangle offensive system, just look at this year's All-Star Game, Szzambiak is the MVP of this year's All-Star, and this year is a real gun. …,

"It seems that it will be difficult next year," Zhuang Fei finally sighed at the familiar figure on the TV.

On May 29, the fourth game between the Timberwolves and the Lakers, at the beginning of this game, Phil Jackson actually shook hands with Zhuang Fei on the Timberwolves' bench before the game.

"It's great that you've developed a player like Wally, I'll use him well next season, just like Vicky did with Duncan, and I'll let him beat you next season."

Phil Jackson is completely without the previous frustration, this game Timberwolves won, still only won less than ten points, 111 to 105, in fact, the gap between the two sides is not obvious, this is also the normal level of both sides, this game is Garnett's first game as an A+ player, it is obvious that his performance is much stronger than the previous game, but he can still only join forces with O'Neal Jr. to fight O'Neal, of course, this combination is naturally on the defensive end, On the offensive end, Garnett scored a game-high 33 points for the Timberwolves in this game, and more importantly, the combination of Garnett and Xiao Ao limited the big sharks while no one was sent off, O'Neal scored 36 points in this game, which is still extremely good, and it is common for peak O'Neal to score more than 30 points in a game, no matter who his opponent is.

"Zhuang, we swept the Lakers and then made it to the Finals?" D'Antoni looked at the scoreboard in a daze and said, looking incredulous.

"yes, we swept the Lakers, we swept the Lakers, the No. 1 team in the West"

swept the Lakers, Zhuang Fei once thought about such a thing in his heart, but when such a thing really happened, it was enough to surprise him.

"Maybe that's the best way to get to the finals" (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
