If you have to use one sentence to describe the mood of Lakers players and Lakers fans at this moment, the most suitable one is to bet.

This kind of victory is so close that it is defeated by such a completely unreasonable or even unreasonable way. It is really just a matter of beating dogs.

And if we have to use an emotion to describe their mood at this moment, then the most appropriate thing is suffering.

Especially Durant and James.

They worked very hard and scored 8 points in the last moment to help the Lakers turn the tide.

Especially Durant, his winning three-pointer made the Lakers only 1 second away from leading the score of 2-0.

That damn 1 second.

If possible, he wants to go back in time and slow down for another 1 second when he takes action.

If possible, he would rather spend 1 second less time in that area.

For him, he lost not only this game, but also the chance to get Scarlett!

Because this is likely to be the first champion of his career!

He has worked hard enough this season and even used hard work as his motto of life to remind himself, but why is it just one second away?

Am I missing this 1 second?

Vogel finally confirmed Tang Tian’s final final victory to the technical station, and Tang Tian’s final anti-winning goal was also played back on the LED screen.

When the red light lit up, the ball had already left Tang Tian's hand and did not time out.

The Lakers lost in the last 1 second, and the two sides tied 1-1.

When James saw the result, he smiled helplessly and walked over and communicated with Durant.

After the two of them finished the handshake gift, they hurried back to the locker room.

Although losing in this way made them very depressed, the series is not over yet.

Even if they lost this game, they would only play 1-1 with the Pelicans in the big score.

Moreover, Tang Tian scored 45 points in the second half of the game, so the Pelicans were lucky enough to win.

Davis still couldn't play in the next game. Even at home the Pelicans, the Lakers had a greater chance of winning.

All they need to do is adjust their mood, and then do their best in the next game to grab the home advantage again.

In the locker room after the game, the Pelicans players were celebrating wildly.

Lakers fans are depressed. They are really excited. The feeling of being sentenced to death but being cancelled makes people experience the ups and downs of life.

After celebrating with his teammates, Tang Tian went to the post-match press conference with Stevens.

Winning is absolutely exciting, but Tang Tian found that Stevens was not in a very high mood, which made him a little confused.

"Brad, are you worried about the next game?"

Tang Tian asked tentatively.

He is a veteran and knows that the head coach can have this kind of emotion after winning the game, basically the next game.

Stevens looked at Tang Tian in surprise, and smiled bitterly.

Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from Tang Tian.

“ad?”

Tang Tian continued to ask.

But to his surprise, Stevens shook his head.

"It's already true that I can't beat the ad, but what I'm worried about is Danny."

Stevens's continued words surprised Tang Tian even more. What happened to Green?

"In the first game, he and LeBron faced each other head-on many times. His old groin injury relapsed. He has been fighting with injuries in the past two games."

Stevens continued.

Green is injured?

Tang Tian was still surprised when he heard this news.

Because he had a good relationship with Green, he didn't even know that Green was injured.

"He didn't tell anyone that I only found out when I met him when I went to the hospital to pick up my son after the game."

Stevens saw Tang Tian’s reaction and continued.

Tang Tian nodded after hearing this.

It's no wonder if you say this. Green is an old man after all, and he knows the significance of defeating the Lakers to the Pelicans.

The players at the beginning of the century had very strong styles, and typical ones such as Iverson Kobe, were not easily off the line.

So it was not so unexpected for Green to conceal his injuries.

Moreover, Green's performance in the past two games is very sluggish, which can be explained.

He had been surprised that Green, the old world, would continue to show sluggish performance.

"I'm considering letting Danny play as a substitute in the second half, so that he can avoid his losses and restore his form to a little."

Stevens continued.

It is definitely unrealistic to let Green not play. On the one hand, Green would definitely not agree if he concealed his injuries. On the other hand, the Pelicans cannot be without Green.

Tang Tian nodded.

Stevens's consideration and approach are still very reasonable.

You don’t have to fight against James when you play as a substitute. Durant has been fighting, and the injury will not worsen. It is also possible to recover if you consume less.

"But the problem is that whether it is Jeff or Kyle, I think they have big disadvantages in fighting."

Stevens continued to explain why he was so worried.

Jeff Green can do anything, but neither 3 nor D is very outstanding. It is OK to play as a substitute, but it is not suitable.

As for Kuzma, he will become the weakest defense on both teams and will immediately become the Lakers' breakthrough.

It's okay to play against other teams, but if you play against opponents of the Lakers level, your shortcomings will be infinitely magnified.

"I think I can play the third position."

Tang Tian thought for a while and then spoke.

This sentence is abrupt, but Stevens stopped and felt like he was finding his way back.

He had considered who played the third position before, but if Tang Tian went to play, he could consider using the first or second position to replace the bench.

Durant is now playing in the third position, and Tang Tian can also play against the top position.

Thinking of this, his thoughts suddenly became broader.

"Tony has experience, but he doesn't have the ability to space, and will be targeted just like we target Simmons; Ding is not strong enough, so Shea and Vince can be the choice."

After reacting, he quickly developed a thought.

Tang Tian nodded.

As Stevens analyzed, Alexander and Carter are more suitable choices.

Alexander has impact, and Parker is also available for substitute behind him, so it is more suitable for rotation.

Carter's projection is more stable and more experienced.

Both have their own advantages and disadvantages.

"What do you think?"

Stevens finally looked at Tang Tian, ​​choosing one of them, and he hoped to hear Tang Tian's opinions.

"Vins, what we need is a pseudo."

Tang Tian expressed his opinion.

"Pseudo..."

Stevens repeated Tang Tian's words and nodded quickly with a smile.

This word is very suitable.

Green will not have much playing time, and no one will play for too long.

Carter said that at the end of the regular season, he proved that he still had oil in the fuel tank, but he couldn't play for long when he was old.

And Carter is now playing 3D, so carefully analyze the perfect fit.

Looking back, I signed Carter in the summer and gave playing time at the end of the regular season, which was really prepared for this situation.
Chapter completed!
