Chapter 166: See you in Los Angeles

"Penalty hit! Wang Shuang has scored 21 points in this game, and in his playoff debut, 21 points, the Lakers lead by 4 points. With 19 seconds left before the end of the game, a four-point difference would definitely be too late for a round. ”

For the Warriors, a four-point margin meant it was hard.

They have to score a round after scoring a round.

Immediately play foul tactics.

And then another round.

Of course, with 19 seconds, anything is possible.

For the Warriors, they definitely want to shoot threes.

Kerr still had two timeouts in his hand.

When a timeout is used up, a foul is immediately committed if it is scored.

One more timeout can be used soon.

As a result, the pause came back.

The Warriors laid out their tactics.

As soon as the outside line serves, the tactics run.

The Lakers, on their part, chose to foul.

"Fouled by the Lakers? It was committed on Green, who just got the ball and wanted to run the tactics, and Wang Shuang hugged him for a foul. What does that mean, sending Green to the free-throw line, doing penalty tactics, right? ”

The Lakers are trying not to let the Warriors shoot threes.

Directly played Rivers' stunt "penalty shootout".

The leading team takes the initiative to foul.

Send the opponent to the free throw line and get the ball.

And then slowly wear off the time.

The Warriors' kick-off run tactic wasted three seconds.

Then, Green stepped up to the free throw line and made a free throw.

Wang Shuang stood aside and said, "If you can't score, the game will be over." ”

Green ignored it, but Wang Shuang's words obviously affected Green's mentality.

The first penalty didn't go in.

The second free throw went in, and there were still 3 points to go.

Scott immediately called a timeout as well.

Replaced Hibbert, who came up inside to grab rebounds.

Put the best players on the field with the best free throws.

Laid out a sideline ball tactic.

After two laps, the ball was in Kobe's hands.

The Warriors fouled and wasted another two seconds.

Kobe Bryant's free throws, steady as an old dog.

With both free throws, the difference was 5 points.

Cole didn't call a timeout, and there was one last timeout left.

You can't just use it.

The Lakers, on their part, feel unstable.

Continue to foul and send Klay to the free throw line.

There are 8 seconds left in the game.

Klay Thompson made both free throws.

Then, the Warriors fouled again.

This foul was committed on Wang Shuang's body.

With a gap of 3 points, Wang Shuang only needs to hit one free throw.

That's pretty much the end of the game.

"Let's look at Wang Shuang's free throws, and it's no fun to score a basic warrior...... The first goal, ouch, didn't score! ”

Wang Shuang missed the first free throw.

His heart was still a little nervous.

He's always shot good from the free-throw line.

This season, the Lakers are the No. 1 in free throw shooting percentage.

He adjusted his breathing and relaxed his arms.

The second penalty is slow.

The ball bounced around the basket twice before finally falling into the net.

"The second penalty... Stumbled, still in! Oh, this, my heart is in my throat, 4 points, does the Warriors still have a chance? ”

The Lakers, on their side, are no longer playing penalty shots.

Only 5 seconds are left for the Warrior.

Klay Thompson catches the ball from the outside.

The Lakers carried out the bag clip.

Thompson gave the ball to Green.

"Green, hesitate, shoot! It's short, it's not in! The game is over! The Lakers won the game! Oh my God, the Lakers won! ”

"It's incredible, the Lakers won Game 1 against the Warriors with 73 wins. Wang Shuang scored 21 points, 16 rebounds, and seven assists in the game, and hit a last-minute free throw. It's a big deal. ”

"It's incredible, the Lakers really won, won the first game, toppled the league, the all-time first, and toppled the Oracle at home."

The two hosts were very excited.

And the Lakers players on the scene were even more excited.

The young players jumped up to celebrate.

But Bryant didn't have any expression.

He knows, for a series.

It's still early to win the first game.

And Wang Shuang's expression was also indifferent.

It's as if nothing happened.

The veterans on the team like Randolph, Green and others are very calm.

The Lakers' youngsters quickly reined in their emotions as well.

The big guy went back to the locker room to take a shower and change clothes.

Byron Scott breathed a sigh of relief.

All kinds of preparations, smoke bombs, psychological warfare before the start of the series.

It finally worked and it worked.

The Lakers won the first game in an upset.

Regardless of the outcome of this series.

If the Lakers can win one game, they have already completed the task.

But back to -->>

[Reading updates load slowly, there are ads, chapters are incomplete, please exit Reading and read!] 】

Once in the locker room, Scott discovered that the Lakers' players must have more ambitions than that.

Under the influence of veterans, especially Kobe, everyone is calm.

Silently take a shower, relax, and deal with the injury.

Then Kobe Bryant took Wang Shuang to the post-game press conference.

At the press conference, Kobe Bryant and Wang Shuang were very low-key.

"It's just the first game of the series, it doesn't mean anything. The Warriors have lost their core players, and they are plagued by injuries and fatigue. The series is long and there will be a lot of situations to face. The Warriors are an all-time powerhouse who have done what no one has done before, but the Lakers will make history as well. ”

Kobe Bryant's words were calm and domineering.

And Wang Shuang's words are very simple and clear.

"We're going to win the series."

The reporters at the scene were in an uproar.

Wang Shuang's tone is really not small.

But in the regular season.

Wang Shuang said that the Lakers will enter the playoffs.

No one believed it, but it really went.

Now Wang Shuang said that he would win the series.

Although it started out a bit fantastical.

But they did win the first game.

And Curry was also injured.

If Curry can't make a comeback in the series.

The game was very, very bad against the Warriors.

After the interview, Wang Shuang returned to the hotel with his teammates in a bus.

On the way, the players relaxed a little and celebrated briefly.

Kobe Bryant also had a smile on his face.

They won the first game of the series.

Truth be told, before the game actually starts.

No one has faith.

Although everyone has the heart to win.

But the eighth against the first, or the team with 73 wins.

It's really hard.

But as the game progressed, the players' confidence was boosted.

Once there is confidence, there is a basis for victory.

Of course, the Warriors are not so easy to deal with.

The Lakers were able to win the first game, and there were a lot of off-court factors.

For example, the confusing report provided by Tencent.

The next day, Curry's injury had an effect.

It's not serious, but there's no way to come back right away.

Take at least a week's break.

Therefore, Curry will definitely not be able to play in the second game.

And the second game is not to be lost for the Warriors.

The league's top team lost the first two home games in a row in the first round?

emmm…… It's not for nothing.

In 1993, the Suns, who were the No. 1 team in the league, faced the Lakers in the first round.

As a result, in Phoenix, they were beaten by the Lakers in two consecutive cities.

almost made the Black Eight stage ahead of schedule in 1993.

Fortunately, the Los Angeles Suns woke up from a dream and won three games in a row to win the series.

Otherwise, Barkley's MVP that year would no longer be a legend.

Rather, it became a pillar of shame to stand in the NBA.

Now the Warriors certainly don't want to be a pillar of shame either.

The next day, Oracle Arena, a rematch between the two sides.

This time the Warriors were well prepared and started with momentum.

The outside three-pointer was still able to score in the face, and a double-digit lead was established in the first quarter.

For the Lakers, establishing an advantage early and pressing them to play is good at it.

Once you are led by a big score, it will be difficult to chase it.

The team's scoring explosiveness is really not enough.

The Warriors led the Lakers by 15 points in the first half.

By the third quarter, the Warriors' offense was even more frantic.

A tidal wave of quick counter-attacks and a rain of three-pointers.

Beat the Lakers' defense to shreds.

The Lakers players apparently gave up strategically ahead of time.

It trailed by more than 20 points in the third quarter.

It wasn't long before the fourth quarter began.

Scott was the main force.

Put the second lineup on the field to grind the final time.

But the Lakers' second team didn't disgrace the team.

Led by Nick Young, they fired all sorts of shots on the outside.

Nick Young hit three three-pointers in a row.

At one point, the difference between the two sides was narrowed to 10 points.

The Warriors called a timeout and got back on the line.

to stabilize the situation again.

Because of lack of time, the Lakers eventually gave up resistance.

107:117, 10 points margin lost the game.

The Warriors won the game, but it wasn't pretty.

Especially in the second half of the final quarter, the Lakers' scoring frenzy.

It made the Warriors players and fans break out in a cold sweat.

Such a situation is enough to show that the Warriors' strength against the Lakers is no longer crushing.

They can win because of their momentum and the power of their home field.

And the next game, they will go to Los Angeles.

At the post-match press conference, Wang Shuang gave another short answer:

"We'll see you in Los Angeles."
