In the face of Gasol's defense, Chamberlain was crisp and slammed inward with a crushing attitude.

Gasol gritted his teeth, his feet clutched the ground, his upper body leaned forward, and almost all his strength was hung on Chamberlain's body.

But it didn't work, Chamberlain was like an angry rhinoceros, knocking him to the basket, and then jumping up and dunking with one arm before Odom and Artest could get the trap.

The sound of fans swallowing saliva sounded in the Staples Arena, and then they knew how important Bynum was to the interior, without Bynum's meat shield, the Lakers' interior line was to Chamberlain what ribs were to vicious dogs.

After that, Bryant opened the game with a turnaround jumper, and Fisher tried to steal Billups again, but instead he was hit by the opponent's trick, Fisher's steal caused him to lose position, and Billups seized the opportunity to break through.

Past Fisher, Billups blocked Bryant, Iverson flew out like a sharp arrow, he took the ball from Billups and hit an easy layup.

However, Kobe Bryant was murderous today, after Fisher controlled the ball to the front court, Kobe took the initiative to cover, the two have cooperated for many years, and Fisher gave the ball to Kobe when he broke through.

The Black Mamba jumped up from beyond the three-point line with the ball in hand, and the graceful No. 24 reappeared at Staples Arena, where he hit the first 3-pointer with a solid shot.

Because of Chamberlain's advantage on the inside, the Lakers had to shrink their defense, and the Warriors had a good opportunity to shoot three-pointers from distance.

First, Billups passed the ball to Jackson on the weak side and hit a three-point shot, and then Billups interacted with Chamberlain on the inside, he first passed to Chamberlain, who attracted the trio and then distributed the ball to Ibaka.

Ibaka blocked Kobe Bryant, Billups cut past him, jumped up with the ball and hit it.

Then, Artest, who refused to admit defeat, gritted his teeth and crashed into Jackson and rushed into the penalty area to dunk, but Chamberlain jumped sideways and gave him a big hat.

Billups took over the ball to instigate a fast break, Chamberlain caught up from behind, and the Lakers trembled and focused their defense on him.

In this way, the Warriors launched a wave of 7-0 offensive early, and under this wave of ferocious offense, the Lakers were beaten dizzy and had no financial aristocracy.

However, the Lakers invited the team's all-time king Magic Johnson today, and the Magic looked bitter and didn't know what to say, so he muttered: "They played the wrong opponent, they attacked us while George McCann and Abdul-Jabbar were away!" ”

The Zen master couldn't sit still, and the boos from the audience made him have to take the initiative to call a timeout, and when he saw Buckley's eyebrows dancing in this live broadcast room, he asked, "Doesn't Fei'er like to whistle?" Why is he in a hurry? If I were him, I would blow a whistle and then the tactics would be adjusted? ”

This matter involves an old public case, in the nineties of the last century, Barkley was at the end of his career with the Suns, and the strength of the Suns was really not very good, otherwise Barkley would not have gone to Houston to team up with Olajuwon and Drexler to win the championship.

At that time, there was a game where the Suns met the Bulls, and the Bulls slashed 72 wins that year, which was unstoppable. In that game, the Suns happened to have a bad hand, and the Bulls took it lightly.

As a result, after the game, a reporter asked the Zen master, "Fei'er, you didn't take the initiative to call a timeout and didn't deploy any tactics, is this a bit underestimating your opponent?" ”

The Zen master rolled his eyelids and said proudly, "Who said I didn't deploy tactics? Didn't I whistle a few times? That's where I'm deploying tactics. ”

At that time, Barkley was angry, this is not underestimating, this is very underestimating!

Now the crisis encountered by the Lakers is not something that can be solved by a few whistles, so the Zen master has to call a timeout and find ways to limit Chamberlain.

The Lakers knew before that they weren't going to have a smooth sailing in this series, and the Warriors were able to knock out their strong team last season.

For the sake of the Lakers, the Lakers were ready to fight a tough battle, but the Zen master and Kobe Bryant did not expect that Bynum was unlucky enough to be killed by Chamberlain.

Bryant walked straight to Bynum after getting off the court and asked in a deep voice, "Man, how are you feeling now?" ”

Bynum was suddenly a little moved, Kobe Bryant is a well-known black-faced man, he can take the initiative to care about himself, it is simply the possession of the Virgin Mary, it is incredible.

Moved, Bynum said: "It's nothing, Kobe, I can stand it, it's nothing, because we're tough guys!" ”

Kobe nodded, with a satisfied expression on his face, and said, "Very good, Andrew, I didn't mistake you, you have indeed changed a lot now." So, since you don't have anything, it's okay to keep playing later, right? ”

Bynum was stunned for a moment, and immediately scolded Kobe Bryant for his ruthlessness in his heart, it turned out that this bastard didn't care about him at all, but drove him into the tiger's mouth!

The Lakers have always claimed that their team is a real team, that they don't rely on superstars to fight, that everyone is an important part of the team, and that they are good at using their brains and never fall down twice in one place.

But if the Warriors are eliminated again in the Western Conference Finals this time, they will fall twice in one place.

After the players left the game, the Zen master said in a deep voice: "Boys, keep your aggressiveness at both ends of the pitch!" Remember how we swept the Dallasians in the last round? It's by our fire-like aggressiveness! ”

Obviously, in the Zen master's opinion, the team's offense on the outside is a bit frequent, it doesn't play to the team's advantage, and it seems that the aggression on the offensive end is not strong enough.

"You all understand that in order to limit Kobe Bryant, they're going to use joint defense, and we don't seem to have a game to do about it, do we, boys?" The Zen master asked with an eyebrow.

"They're going to play smarter, we're going to have to be smarter, we're going to need to tweak a little bit, listen, guys, I know you've heard some of the ups and downs of the uniforms," Bryant said. But I would say that as long as Phil is here, he is our manager, and we will do whatever Phil asks us to do, and about Andrew, if he wants to play, I'm sure Phil will arrange for him to play ......"

As he spoke, Kobe glanced at Bynum, who bowed his head and did not look at Kobe, using passive dodging to make a silent accusation.

If you want to say who Bynum is most reluctant to meet, of course, it is Chamberlain, he has suffered enough torture in the first two games, he doesn't want to be tortured anymore!

Seeing this, Kobe Bryant's expression showed a trace of anger, and he secretly said Since you don't give me face, then don't blame me for not giving you face, and simply said: "If Phil doesn't do this, then this is not his style." In addition, I also believe that Andrew will have a good performance if he plays. ”

Gasol patted Bynum on the shoulder and said, "Yes, we believe that Andrew has such strength!" ”

Bynum was furious, this bunch of pig teammates were going to push themselves into the fire pit.

The Zen master didn't immediately replace Bynum, he used DJ Mbunga, who was about the same height and tonnage, to play against Chamberlain.

Mbenga has a tough temperament and is tall and strong, but his steps are slow, and his pace is too slow compared to top centers such as Chamberlain and Oden. However, the Lakers signed him to be Bynum's sparring partner.

Ordered by the Zen master, Mbenga was not intimidated, he took off his training uniform to reveal his platinum shirt and walked onto the court.

For Bynum, the Zen master is absolutely hated iron and steel, in his opinion, this kid wasted a good pair of skins, if his body element zhì and Mbenga are reversed, then why don't the Lakers build a new dynasty?

After the timeout, after Mbenga played, the Lakers' mood changed, and the players' fighting spirit became much stronger.

Mbenga took the initiative to take on the heavy responsibility of slashing against Chamberlain, and he was very active in helping Kobe cover when he attacked, but unfortunately his cover did not bring chaos to the Warriors' defense, as soon as Mbenga left the basket, the Warriors no one cared about him, and he couldn't shoot if he was shot!

Kobe Bryant barely shot, the ball bounced out, Ibaka picked up the rebound and threw it to West, and the Warriors pushed quickly.

Billups sat on the bench and watched with a dazed expression as young West and Curry sweated off the court.

Iverson looked at him with a blank expression, didn't think much about it, just smiled: "Cool, huh?" Do you think back to when we were younger, ha, that's how we ran in the Eastern Conference Finals, right? ”

Billups smiled and said, "Yes, the Eastern Conference Finals, 2001?" It's been a long time, it's been almost ten years! ”

Iverson sighed, "yes, it's been ten years, man, we were young men then, and we're old men now." ”

"Old man?" Billups's expression was a little strange, he looked at Iverson, and said suspiciously, "This is not the answer I know, you can still break through on the court, or the fastest guy in the league, are you still the answer?" ”

Iverson laughed, "Of course, of course, but it's not the MVP answer, it's the best sixth man answer." ”

After a pause, Iverson added: "Chauncey, I'd love to say I'm still young, but you know that our speed is not as fast as it used to be, but you also know that it's still as hard to win against me as it used to be!" ”

But do we still have a chance to play against those top opponents? Billups asked himself in his mind. He saw that Iverson was really happy with his current life, so he asked himself in his heart, can he do the same? Playing a veteran game with a veteran contract and then retiring?

Iverson watched the game with relish, watching the young and energetic little guys of Chamberlain and West storm the Lakers' defense.

The new lineup arranged by the old Nelson is extremely terrifying, Chamberlain, Ibaka, Blair, West and Curry, except for West, none of them are over 25 years old, and even with West, the average age of this team is only 22 years old!

After coming on, the Warriors continued to make quick breaks, and they used the vitality of the offensive end to create opportunities for themselves that far outpaced the Lakers, and Mbenga's footwork disadvantage was clearly evident in this situation.

Kobe Bryant saw that the situation was not good, and risked being blocked by Chamberlain, using a breakthrough and dunk that has been rare this season to help the team score and boost morale.

Bryant's adventure was worth it, his dunk ignited the atmosphere on the court, and amid the shouts of 'MVP' and 'championship', the Lakers finally managed to stabilize a little on the defensive end, and the Warriors did not take the opportunity to pull the margin to double digits.

With 5 minutes and 43 seconds left in the first quarter, the Lakers asked for a timeout again, and seeing that the team's defense had been stabilized, the Zen master expected the team's offensive end to achieve the same results, and deliberately arranged a forward offensive strategy.

Returning from a timeout, Fisher passed the ball to Bryant, who got up and broke through with lightning speed.

Mbenga tried to jam Chamberlain to make way for Bryant, but Bryant only feintmed, burst into the box and passed the ball to Artest.

The Warriors' forward line was torn apart by Kobe Bryant, and Artest slyly ran out of the open space and scored two points on a jumper.

Staples Arena was once again in cheers, and in the eyes of the fans, the team was about to fight back.

But the switch between attack and defense, Chamberlain withstood Mbenga to ask for the ball, and the Zen master planned very well, wanting to use Mbenga's strength and Gasol's flexibility to fight against Chamberlain.

Oxlade-Chamberlain got the ball and Mbenga immediately crouched down to fend him, while Gasol prepared to pack from the flank.

In response, Chamberlain sneered and then turned around, took a sideways step to widen the distance between him and Mbenga and threw himself to the basket.

Gasol naturally followed, and Mbenga also moved sideways under the basket to continue to block Chamberlain, and for a while, Chamberlain's way seemed to be blocked.

In this case, Chamberlain waved his hand back, almost with his hand, and the energetic Ibaka received the ball. 、

"Boom!" With a bang, after Chamberlain, Ibaka's huge body also hung on the Lakers' hoop.
