Chapter 645 Changes of the Lakers
Los Angeles.
As the Lakers finally defeated the Warriors in their home court in the third game, the Staples Arena, which was already very popular, once again poured in a large number of fans and people from the stadium when the fourth game was about to start. Media from many countries around the world!
"Hehe, this place is worthy of being a top metropolis!"
Bruce stood in front of the window of the hotel with a smile on his face, watching a large number of media outside the hotel gathered around the door, he couldn't help feeling the enthusiasm of the media here!
"Haha, if our team is in the Eastern Conference, you will actually see what is called the Metropolis and what is called the media!"
Wilkens laughed and joked, and the scene of New York appeared in his mind!
"Okay, let's see what happens in this fourth game!"
Bruce shrugged helplessly, and even after secretly frowning, he followed Wilkens and called the players, and walked out of the hotel one after another!
"Hey, Mr. Bruce, are you very disappointed with the performance of the Warriors in the last game??"
"Tim, can you talk about your emotions after losing the last game??"
"Dirk, as a champion member, what tactics will you use against the Lakers in this game?"
Following the crazy inquiries of a number of media reporters, Bruce frowned and walked over to the bus parked outside the hotel first!
Seeing Bruce's actions, some players were going to say something, but after seeing his actions, they followed up. After all, the game is what they want to pay attention to!
As the fourth game is about to begin, the Warriors and Lakers are really sought after by a large number of media, especially the core players, who are even more eager for them!
However, as the players from both sides came to the Staples Arena, the media could only helplessly feel depressed!
Entering the arena, everyone in the Warriors walked directly to the locker room with serious expressions. Even though they would meet some Lakers staff in the corridor, they still didn't seem to care much!
"Okay, kids, I don't want the Lakers to draw with us in this game, and I won't say any more, I just hope you can try your best to win this game!"
After entering the locker room, Wilkens said directly to the players.
And after hearing what Wilkens said, the players nodded vigorously, and directly started some relaxation and nursing before the game!
Standing at the door of the locker room, Bruce stared at the reactions of the players. Judging by the emotions they inadvertently revealed, he couldn't help but secretly rejoice!
Entering the arena, Bruce walked directly to his position, and those big and small stars also came to the arena early!
"Wow, the vibe here is so cool!!"
Barkley said to Kenny Smith with a smile on his face, because they were sent directly to Detroit in the last game, they didn't show up!
And in this game, as the Lakers won the previous game, TNT directly arranged them as the commentator for this game after measuring it!
"Of course, this is one of the coolest arenas in the league!"
"Magic" Johnson said proudly, and even turned his head and looked at Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as he spoke!
Before this game, the famous pair of Lakers came to the arena early. Regardless of the final results of the Lakers, they, as the superstars in the history of the Lakers, still have a lot of love for this team and this arena. Extraordinary love!
It didn't take long. After the fiery cheers sounded in the arena, as the players from both sides appeared in the player tunnel, everyone focused on them!
Before the start of this game, a large number of fans and experts have made some predictions about the Warriors and the Lakers. All of them have a consensus that the Warriors must be the team that will eventually enter the finals. team!
Among these public opinions, it is impossible for the Lakers not to bear the pressure. Even O'Neal and Kobe, who are very strong in resisting pressure, both left in a hurry after not directly asking their faces one time!
After that, following the roar of the DJ in the stadium, the players from both sides walked towards their rest area under the eyes of everyone!
"Gentlemen, I think you guys know more about what this game means than me, so..."
Phil Jackson said to O'Neill and the others with an extremely serious expression, with a hint of worry in his tone!
After hearing Jackson's words, O'Neill and the others were shocked. Thinking of the current situation of their team, they couldn't help but subconsciously glanced at each other!
Before the start of this game, they specially made some drills for the Warriors' diverse tactics, especially for their twin tower tactics and yin-yang rotation tactics, and they were fully prepared!
However, now that they heard Phil Jackson say such words in such a tone, they couldn't help feeling a little heavy in their hearts!
"drop!"
A whistle broke the atmosphere in the Lakers' rest area. After Bavita blew the whistle for warm-up before the game, O'Neal and the others stood up directly, with an inexplicable breath, and walked towards the court with determination. over!
On the other hand, the Warriors didn't have this at all. Their expressions didn't seem to be worried at all, and they weren't affected by the last loss at all!
Entering the court, both sides silently practiced some shots and layups. When Bavita blew his whistle again, they returned to the court amidst the cheers of the fans, making the final move of the game. arrange!
"Okay, for tonight's game, I hope you can focus more on the offensive end. We shouldn't gradually abandon our advantages, but make the most of them!"
Phil Jackson said in a firm tone. Thinking of the previous few games where the Lakers put the cart before the horse and abandoned their advantages one after another, and focused their energy on their not very strong defensive end, he urged again: "So, here In this game, I can allow you to make some defensive mistakes, but on the offensive end, you must play our own rhythm!"
Hearing Jackson's words, O'Neal and the others subconsciously showed stunned expressions on their faces. Even though they did perform very well on the defensive end in the last game, after Jackson said these words now, they couldn't help clearing their minds. , as if everything is clear!
"drop!!"
After Bavita signaled to the technical stage, he blew the whistle to start the game!
As the main players of both sides walked towards the stadium one after another, the fans who had already been impatient made a noise with their loudest decibels!
Standing on the center line, O'Neill looked at Duncan with a relaxed expression. The seriousness in the previous few games was gone, replaced by a lightness and a smile that he hadn't seen for a long time!
"Is this guy a transgender??"
Duncan glanced at O'Neill with some doubts, apparently puzzled and curious about his current expression!
"Let's start the game like this. As long as you can pay attention to your movements, I won't make things difficult for any of you!"
Bavita said to the players on both sides with a smile on his face, seeing the expressions on their faces, he planned to say so!
Afterwards, after being signaled by players from both sides, as Bavetta threw the basketball into the air, under O'Neal's strength, the Lakers won the ball for the first time in this game!
As Fisher quickly brought the basketball into the frontcourt, the Lakers directly started their triangle offensive tactics that they are good at!
Watching his teammates running smoothly and covering for them from time to time, Fisher showed a smile on his face, and couldn't help laughing secretly: "This is the team I am familiar with!"
In the smooth and purposeful running of the Lakers, the faces of the Warriors players were gradually replaced by seriousness and caution. From the current tactical running positions of the Lakers, they clearly felt the support from O'Neal and others. The slightest pressure!
"Snapped!!"
The basketball quickly came to Kobe's hands, and it looked like the Lakers would start a triangle offense around him this time around!
"Man, it looks like we're going to win this game!"
Kobe kept probing with his right foot. When Gerald Wallace gradually focused all his attention on his lower body, Kobe suddenly said something like this. Pass Wallace!
"Kobe's state in this game looks good, and the performance of other Lakers players is also very exciting. If they can maintain this state, they will most likely become the final winner of this game!"
Barkley said very fairly that he is very appreciative of the performance of the Lakers since the start of this game!
On the court, as Kobe quickly approached the inside line, O'Neal quickly exerted his strength and directly resisted Duncan on his side, creating all the space for Kobe to complete the attack early!
"Shhh!!"
A soft sound spread throughout the arena along the loudspeaker on the basket. Amidst the cheers of all the fans, the Lakers finally returned to the previous exciting team and quickly ran to the backcourt!
After Billups received the pass from his teammates, he first calmly noticed the Lakers' defensive formation. After seeing that they didn't show any madness, he couldn't help but secretly wondered!
With the rapid arrival of Billups, the Lakers relied on a series of responses to the twin tower tactics in training before, making the Warriors gradually fall into a passive state!
Feeling the not very strong defense around them, and getting used to Billups who was tough before, he couldn't help being surprised. With Fisher's defense now, he can definitely complete his breakthrough very easily!
Later, when the Warriors scored the goal reluctantly with Nowitzki's good touch in the defense of the Lakers, not only the players on the court were surprised, but also the players sitting off the court. Erkens looked at the Lakers coach's bench with a look of surprise!
