Chapter 994 We will win without a doubt
In the Battle of Tianwang Mountain in 2018, the secret weapon Wright carefully prepared for Durant went bankrupt in the opponent's unreasonable ball-holding attack.
Durant is really not afraid of players like Siakam or Zhou Qi who move fast, because his physical coordination is not on the same level as these people.
Even though they are already very agile players compared to those of the same height, they are obviously inadequate compared to Durant.
Therefore, when I met them, Durant could be said to have met one and beat another.
The effect of the pressure from the 76ers on the field is not a change in the league, but a disgust from the referee.
If the referee has an opinion on you, he may not need the league to do anything and will target you by himself.
In 2006, the Mavericks were scored countless free throws by Wade in the finals, and some people think that it has nothing to do with the league, and it is simply that the referee doesn't like their boss Mark Cuban.
The referee's disgust led to the Lakers being able to continue their strategy in the last game.
Because the game is highly concerned, it is close to the ratings record set by Game3. When the Lakers used the barbaric confrontation to make a profit, the referee symbolically blew a few side whistles to warn the 76ers, making them pay attention to their hands and feet.
They really misread the team.
It seems that some people have forgotten how they defeated the Warriors by the weak in 2016.
The Lakers suddenly made this trick for them. They originally wanted to wait for the league to put pressure on the league, or the referee would adjust himself. Seeing that the referee was going to continue playing at such a scale, how could they sit still and wait for death?
The other party uses the most familiar method to try to establish advantages and lock in victory, how can they let it succeed?
In the second half, the Lakers saw a team that was far more savage than them.
76 people fought on the ground in large numbers, and they had to put people down every round.
At the beginning, the referee would blew a few whistles to warn the 76ers. As the audience at the Wells Fargo Center booed angrily, it made the referee realize that if they continued to blew the whistle, they would probably not be able to leave Philadelphia alive - and, they could not afford to mess up such a high ratings game - so the referee gave in and they no longer blew the whistle, maintaining the current scale, allowing the two teams to fight happily.
For the Lakers, this is the worst news.
In this way, they can still use their talents to gain the advantage in the early stages. Once the game is dragged backward, the 76ers' lineup depth advantage will be reflected.
Moreover, they really don't give the Lakers a chance.
To deal with Durant and Paul, two players who are easily affected by confrontation, is to give pressure to the best of their ability.
Durant fell far more than the previous three games.
Paul, in the endless oppression, first broke his own string.
In the fifth minute of the fourth quarter, Paul scored a breakout and landed. When he landed, he was hit by Cousins and fell to the ground in a twisted posture.
Then, his thigh was injured and he could not get up on the spot.
This scene disintegrated the Lakers' fighting spirit to a certain extent.
The key Tianwang Mountain, Paul's injury, caused a huge blow to the lake people.
Wei Xia and Kobe were not affected at all.
The hearts of these two people are stronger than each other. The more this happens, the better they perform. When the Lakers were leading the score at one point, they were defeated by the 76ers using their way of establishing their advantages - rough confrontation, barbaric hand-to-hand combat, small moves, and powerful fouls.
101 to 95
Since the start of the finals, both sides have been suppressed to below 110 points for the first time.
"I might be angry about this, but I have to say that." Odom smiled, "Originally, the 76ers were planning to compete with the Lakers for the championship in a gentle way. Since the Lakers want to play despicable routines, they can only show off - this is what they are best at!"
"Yes, this game allowed us to see the most hideous side of basketball!" Odom's partner followed.
Wei Xia and Kobe scored 59 points together, more than half of the team.
"We don't hate such competitions." Wei Xia said with a smile.
On the Lakers' side, especially James, faced with reporters, his face was gloomy: "We all know how the Warriors missed a good game in the first place."
His words seemed to be very dissatisfied with the current competition standards.
Paul's injury is not determined. If they continue to follow this scale, they are likely to be beaten by 76ers in the sixth game.
But, has he forgotten which side started the hand-to-hand combat first?
If this tactic was not adopted, or if the referee did not blow the whistle, even if he suddenly launched an attack and went to a large number of physical bodies to fight against game 4, the Lakers would never win the game so easily.
Their second victory was won on this basis.
Now, I suggest that I don’t like the camera, which is just a little bit of a smile.
The next day, the worst news for the Lakers came: Paul had a serious thigh strain and was expected to be reimbursed for the season.
Of course, he is not unable to return with a severely strained thigh, just like many people who play with one foot.
This will add to the legendary nature of the finals.
But, why?
Paul and his team have to start from reality. He was injured. The Lakers were behind 2-3. He played at the cost of making the injury worse. Even if he won, there was still a tiebreak, so he couldn't keep playing.
This year is Paul's contract year. At the end of the season, he can sign a long-term contract with the Lakers with an annual salary of 30 million yuan. If his injury worsens, will the Lakers still give him a big contract?
The championship is very good, but it may not be a real $30 million sweetness.
Without a champion, he is at most ridiculed by sluts like Barkley every day, but with 30 million, he can forget all his worries.
Therefore, Paul's team has decided to reimburse the season, but for the Lakers' preparations, a smoke bomb that may come back was released.
Everyone in the Lakers knows that Paul cannot make a comeback.
The 76ers don't care whether Paul returns.
On June 10, 2018, they arrived in Los Angeles.
This is the Lakers' last home game of the season.
It is also possible that it is the last game of the season.
The reporter's microphone came to Wei Xia and asked him to comment on Paul's possible comeback.
"We don't care, because we're going to beat the Lakers, not some player on the Lakers."
Wei Xia answered bluntly that the reporter could not find the flaw.
They were released and went straight to the hotel.
Settling in, resting, preparing for the battle, and entering Staples Center two hours in advance until the evening.
That night, Kobe was preparing for the game seriously in the visiting team's locker room.
His knee pads, his finger gloves, his ankle gaits.
"It's really troublesome." Wei Xia only needs one knee pad.
"The competition, like life, requires a sense of ritual, especially tonight." Kobe walked through what he called the ritual in full.
When Kobe completed these things, he stood up and said, "I never thought that you and I will come here one day in the visiting team jerseys and compete with the Lakers for the championship."
"There are many things I never thought of, for example, ten years ago, I couldn't think of the Lakers not even giving me a maximum salary." Wei Xia said lightly.
Kobe asked: "Do you still care?"
"I am not as narrow as you, and that matter has been put aside by me." Wei Xia said confidently, "What I have achieved has proved their mistake. I just want to prove in front of them again in front of them, how serious they have made."
Kobe smiled: "If I decide to retire after the end of this season, then Staples would be the perfect ending."
"Then, just tonight." Wei Xia put on his No. 1 jersey and "go to end them!"
In the player channel, the rest of the 76ers were waiting for Wei Xia and Kobe.
"I don't care about LeBron James, nor Kevin Durant, because I know they can't stop us from moving forward!" Wei Xia was surrounded by everyone. "We won 72 regular season games, and we won 13 games in a row in the playoffs! They need the mercy of the referee to maintain their home advantage. How can they beat us tonight?"
Wei Xia's speech was "extremely arrogant". This was not something he would say, but just such crazy words made all the teammates in the locker room excited.
This is a beautiful mobilization!
"I didn't want to play tiebreak, just ended their season at Staples Center, let's make snacks with live booing and meet our victory with champagne at the end of the game!"
With a high tone and inciting words, he lit up the fire in his teammates' hearts, and then rushed into the Staples Center together.
The fans on the scene gave the strongest boo as before.
Wei Xia just smiled and saw many old acquaintances on the scene.
Among them is Jim Buss, who is no longer in power in the Lakers.
He was wearing a very unmatched suit and shouted excitedly to Wei Xia: "Wish, although I am also a 'Bass', in the name of my friend, I will support you to the end!"
Bass Jr. may be the only one who lived up to Vessia.
He also had a lot of respect for the other party. Without the help of Buss, he would not have been able to gain a foothold in Los Angeles quickly.
Wei Xia knew everything that happened later was completely out of control by Little Buss.
So his relationship with Buss Jr. has never been affected by those things. He has maintained contact for many years and has always been a good friend.
Seeing Wei Xia interacting with Bus Jr., Lakers fans' dissatisfaction with Bus Jr. instantly, making Bus Jr. get out of the way, and Staples keeps ringing.
Chapter completed!
