Chapter 173: Stressed

In the second half of the third quarter, Bryant took over the game.

For the Warriors' change of lineup, the Lakers only messed up for 2 minutes before finding a way to deal with it.

There's no way, except for the Splash Brothers, the abilities of others are really limited.

At the end of the third quarter, the score was 89:85, and the Lakers not only caught up with the score, but also overtook by 4 points.

Old Nelson really has no other way, Zhou Yang is almost full in the first three quarters, and the physical exertion is too great.

Even so, the Lakers can still lead, which shows that the Warriors really can't beat the Lakers.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Zhou Yang continued to play, but the old Nelson forcibly pressed Zhou Yang to the bench.

Winning or losing a game is important, but the health of the players is even more important!

Old Nelson didn't want Zhou Yang to be injured in his rookie season, that was his sweetheart!

Zhou Yang is eager to fight, but he also has to listen to the coach.

Without Zhou Yang, the Warriors bench couldn't withstand the impact of the Lakers' bench at all.

Shannon Brown hit the basket twice in a row and dunked to completely suppress the Warriors' bench.

Although Moro also hit a three-pointer, Famar immediately returned the favor and Vujacic also hit the shot.

Under the bombardment of the Lakers' bench, the difference was stretched to 15 points in a flash.

Zhou Yang couldn't sit still anymore, jumped up from the bench and asked to play.

The old Nelson had no choice but to replace Zhou Yang and other main players on the field again.

The Splash Brothers appeared, and the effect was obvious, Zhou Yang burst into the penalty area and threw it successfully.

Curry came to a 45-degree angle by actively running, and after receiving the ball, he hit a three-point shot!

However, the Lakers, under the leadership of Kobe, immediately fought back.

Gasol picked up the ball in the box, turned around and tricked Jackson into a left-handed layup for two points.

Then Kobe Bryant burst into the penalty area and blocked Andries!

Fisher was also at the top of the arc and stole a three-pointer!

The Lakers still have the advantage.

In the fourth quarter of the game, the Warriors were once again suppressed by the Lakers and couldn't turn over.

In the end, the score was fixed at 112:127, and the Lakers won.

The big score came to 2:1, and the Lakers were ahead!

Although the Lakers were won on their first home court before, the Lakers won two games in a row, showing the strength of the uncrowned champion.

Kobe Bryant scored 34 points today, and although he didn't score much, he took few shots in the first half and only did it in the second half.

Zhou Yang scored 37 points and had 11 assists.

Curry chipped in 24 points and five steals, which was decent.

After this game, many fans thought about the original finals.

That is, the 76ers led by Iverson, they also stubbornly defeated the Lakers at home in the first game, shocking the world.

However, the next thing was the powerful Lakers, who won four games in a row and won the championship.

So will the Warriors ......

Many fans are disappointed in the Warriors, thinking that the Warriors are the next 76ers, the first win, but the Lakers don't care.

As long as the Lakers are serious, then they will definitely easily sweep the Warriors.

Such arguments filled the entire basketball forum for a while, and the Warriors were trampled on for nothing.

The Splash Brothers became synonymous with flashiness.

"Zhou Yang will also sell tickets, the viewing is still quite strong, there is no hope for the championship!"

"What a splash brother, I think it's too watery, haha!"

"The second round of warriors will reach the sky, you can go home and fish!"

"The warriors are a pseudo-strong team, and when they meet a real strong team, they will appear in their original form, hehe!"

……

The cynicism of the fans also affected the mood of the Warriors players.

Except for Zhou Yang, the emotions of other Warriors players are very susceptible to outside influences.

This is the manifestation of inexperience.

The playoff matchups, often on the court, are not the only ones, and many factors off the court will also affect the outcome of the game.

For example, when some teams come to the away stadium, they will be disturbed by the fans of the visiting team, and they will not be able to sleep well at night.

Outside the hotel where the players are staying, the home fans will beat gongs and drums all night long.

Or make some slogans to stimulate the core players and make the players mentally unbalanced.

There are all kinds of undercurrents outside the game.

Warriors fans are okay, they don't have so many bad intentions, because Warriors fans have only added some cohesion this season.

Zhou Yang hopes to establish a winning culture for the Warriors, no matter whether they win or lose, they must also play with enthusiasm and passion.

The vast majority of the trolls in the forum are not Golden State fans.

In this regular season, the Warriors defeated many strong teams, and Zhou Yang also showed off the limelight, which will naturally offend many people.

So Zhou Yang didn't care about the interference of the outside world at all.

But his teammates couldn't stand it, and Zhou Yang had to help his teammates do ideological work.

"Brothers, the honor of the home field needs to be defended by us, and the next home game must be won, it has nothing to do with the series!"

"We got a home court from the Lakers and gave them another one, which is normal, but we have to keep one!"

……

With the encouragement of Zhou Yang, the spirit of the Warriors players rose again.

In the last game, the Warriors players all had a deep sense of powerlessness, feeling that the Lakers didn't use much effort to win the game.

This is the strength of the uncrowned champions, when they are threatened, they burst out with great energy as a whole.

Although he lost two games in a row, Zhou Yang was not discouraged, on the contrary, he almost didn't sleep all night at night and reviewed the first two games.

Through the review, Zhou Yang found a relative weakness of the Lakers.

That's Gasol.

The addition of Gasol has greatly improved the overall strength of the Lakers, and his strategy, passing and independent offensive ability are very strong.

But he also has weaknesses, which are weak confrontations, poor defense, and slow movement.

When other teams met it, they couldn't catch this weakness at all, and they were directly beaten to death by the Lakers.

But unlike other teams, the Splash Brothers have a strong offensive power and are the first in the league.

If you want to win the Lakers, you must beat Gasol to this point!

After discovering this problem, Zhou Yang was very excited, and it was already more than 4 o'clock in the morning at this time.

He wasn't sleepy at all, and immediately picked out all the Lakers' regular season failures and checked them quickly.

Sure enough, in the game that the Lakers lost, Kobe Bryant and Gasol did not play well.

Moreover, when Gasol was in foul trouble, the whole team didn't seem to know how to play, and Kobe Bryant could only do it alone.

Kobe Bryant works alone, it also depends on the state, and when the state is good, he can win the game.

But if Kobe Bryant doesn't feel good, the Lakers will lose.

Zhou Yang was very excited, and finally found the real death hole of the Lakers.

But the Lakers, as the uncrowned champion, and the Zen master are experienced, he must know it.

Therefore, in the game, the Lakers attach great importance to the support and protection of Gasol.

For example, Bynum and Meta often wander around Gasol and do not give the other party a chance to force Gasol.

If Gasol is to be restricted, this problem must be addressed.
