This Forward is Not Serious - Vol 2 Chapter 604 Unexpected opponent
Lin Ying and Durant watched the live broadcast of the game together.
Before that, Lin Ying was very interested in this group of Western Conference finals.
Then their expressions, like everyone else, were shocked.
Here’s the clip on Hayward’s serious injury: It’s Green’s steal on Davis, and the Warriors hit their signature fast break.
However, the Lakers also retreated very quickly, and the Warriors’ first wave of fast breaks did not work.
And James had already retreated to the basket at this time, and his defense covered the entire penalty area.
At such a time, as long as the big man inside is not coming in, it will be very difficult to break through his defense.
But their opponent is the Warriors.
After the first wave of fast breaks ended in failure, their second wave of fast breaks was already in place.
Green’s cut in the middle successfully attracted the attention of James’ defense, and he threw the ball directly into the air.
Hayward, who was following up on the weak side, was led into the air by Green’s pass.
It looked like a beautiful fast break alley, but at this moment, James showed the speed of reaction against the sky, turned around,
Then he pushed Hayward in the air.
You can’t say he did it on purpose, because like many times in the past, it was just a subconscious of his.
But after all, Hayward is not the top-level air balance ability like Jordan Lin Ying, he lost his balance and fell to the ground.
And the most terrifying thing is that his landing posture was very poor, and his leg directly experienced a 90° fracture similar to Livingston’s.
The picture makes people unable to look directly.
James didn’t know what happened at first. After seeing the referee blowing the whistle, he spread his hands as usual, and then appealed. After seeing the referee ignore it, he also showed a sarcastic smile and walked towards the bench.
But at this moment, the referee’s whistle sounded again, and James looked back to find out what happened to Hayward.
After seeing Hayward’s tragic situation, he was not sure that it was caused by himself. After looking up at the replay, he immediately hugged his head in disbelief.
Then, sadness mixed with some fear and self-blame sat on the bench.
Even in the live broadcast, Lin Ying could see that James’s expression was not fake.
Because it is different from what has happened many times in the past, this time James’ team is not behind by a big score, and the game has just begun.
In this case, James has no reason to do so.
So this is really just an “accident”.
When Hayward was fixed and carried on a stretcher, James also adjusted his mood and stepped forward to say a lot of words of encouragement.
There were also encouraging applause from the fans at the scene, and everything seemed peaceful.
However, after the game, social media exploded.
Some fans couldn’t help it directly, brought out all the things about James’ previous times, and directly defined James’ behavior as intentional as in the past;
And some fans have edited the scene of James sneering at the referee into a snickering action after the mischief, which is seamless;
There are even fans who are ashamed of James’ behavior. After all, when James was with the Warriors last year, he won the Spurs in this way.
Although it wasn’t James’s hand that time, when a team of one person has repeatedly won games in this way, those are no longer important.
The most terrible thing is that the Warriors actually won in the end of this game!
After losing Hayward, the Warriors had a chaotic first half, trailing the Lakers by 15 points at halftime.
For a team that suddenly loses a core, it is difficult to maintain a high level.
Just when everyone thought that the Warriors would definitely lose tonight, in the second half, the Warriors became the “Army of Sadness” and staged a “Army of Sadness will win”.
They played a pressing style in the second half, while hitting three-pointers from the outside.
It’s kind of like when the Suns played the Lakers, they “sacrificed” a Caron Butler/Gordon Hayward and ended up winning the game.
It is precisely because of this that fans are more difficult to accept such a result.
Without Hayward, the Warriors have defeated this seemingly invincible Lakers. What if there are Hayward Warriors?
Every year in the NBA, there are many games, and fans have seen too many wins and losses. Not to mention the strong team defeating the weak team, even the weak team has seen a lot of upsets.
So no matter what the result of the game is, most fans can accept it. Even if they can’t accept it for a while, it will be washed away by time.
But only, only in this situation, when a team wins in this way, it will make people feel uncomfortable.
Basically, people who watch basketball watch it out of love. Naturally, they like to watch pure basketball.
This is also the reason why the reaction of the fans is so great every year when the black whistle appears.
But this time, especially what happened to James again, even if he was “unintentional”, after all, it was James’ push that caused the current situation.
So it is reasonable for the fans to react so much.
“So do you think there is still a chance behind the Warriors?”
After the training session the next day, Durantra chatted with Lin Ying about the situation of the Western Conference Finals.
“What do you think?”
Lin Ying asked back with a smile.
“I think……”
Durant didn’t say anything out of his mouth.
Obviously, he knew that he had too many flags on his back.
“I think the Warriors have a certain chance, but not a big chance.”
In the end, it was Lin Ying, the octopus Paul, who made the judgment.
This is also a very objective judgment.
Although it was an “accident” this time, the topic of scales will always apply in the evenly matched duel.
The Warriors suddenly lost a big weight. They might be able to win a game on morale, but their chances of winning the series are slim.
After all, it was as strong as the Curry Durant cosmos team in history. After Durant fell, it was quickly defeated by the Raptors.
“Then it seems we have to be careful.”
Lin Ying’s intuition was basically credible, and Durant also said something meaningful at this moment.
Lin Ying smiled after hearing this, then nodded.
Although it’s a bit of a joke, if the finals are really against the Lakers, you really have to beware of this.
Especially if the Nets play relatively smoothly, given James’ current situation, this time is “unintentional”, but it won’t be the case next time.
Being prepared is what I mean by this possible matchup.
The division final game continues.
The game between the Nets and the Hornets is exactly the same as G1.
The Hornets showed toughness last game, but this time they showed toughness.
These two Butler labels are now the Hornets.
They did not lose confidence because of the loss in the last game, and they still maintained a high fighting spirit.
Although, they still failed to win the game in the end.
It was Durant who broke out tonight. He felt hot from the outside, made 8 three-pointers in a single game, and scored a high score of 41 points.
Driven by his outstanding performance and Lin Ying’s triple-double, the Nets defeated the Hornets in two consecutive games, leading 2-0.
Well, although the game was tougher, it didn’t seem to make a difference for the Nets.
It can even be said that the Hornets are good for them, because such an opponent can make them play out of form before entering the finals.
It can be said that the East Finals side was stable, but the Western Finals side, an unexpected thing happened, once again.
No, it might not be an accident to be more precise.
Before the start of G2, the views of the outside world were almost the same as Lin Ying’s.
They feel that the Lakers won’t win by force, but they will still be the final winner.
So after the Warriors’ G2 started, they played very aggressively.
The scale of confrontation on the field is very large. Even if the referee consciously tightened the whistle, people on the field still turn their heads from time to time.
That is, under this kind of confrontation, this time someone on the Lakers was injured.
The injured person, um, yes, Davis.
Davis is somewhat glassy.
This point is not too obvious in the regular season, but once it enters the playoffs, especially the playoffs of this level of confrontation, this attribute will be activated.
This time, the balance of victory fell directly to the Warriors.
And the rest of the game also shows that not every team has the toughness of the Warriors, especially for a temporary team like the Lakers.
After losing Davis, the Lakers completely collapsed inside.
To put it in a very realistic way, originally the Lakers had a huge advantage in playing against the Warriors, but now, they have lost this biggest advantage.
In the end, the Warriors easily defeated the Lakers to turn the big score into 2-0.
A result that even Lin Ying hadn’t predicted.
However, this should probably be expected.
In Romance of the Three Kingdoms, no matter which two countries are at war, the situation will be very tragic.
Especially between Wu and Shu, either Guan Yu was broken, or Liu Bei was directly GG.
It seems that the end of this game is likely to be in Baidi City.
Of course, although it was beyond Lin Ying’s expectations and different from what most people thought, this result is absolutely good news for the Nets.
Because this is no longer a fierce fight, but a tragic one!
Sandpipers and clams compete for the fisherman’s profit, and the net is just sitting and harvesting the game.
Of course, the premise is that they can stay healthy.
However, this is precisely what the Nets are best at. From their resting against Kobe, it can be seen that they are more concerned about players being able to play in full force than the outcome of a game.
So…
A week later.
The results of the East and West finals are all out.
On the East side, although the Hornets are very close to winning the game in G3.
How close, they might just be one goal short.
However, Lin Ying’s long-lost key-ball lore allowed the Nets to maintain their 100% record in the playoffs.
After losing Game 3, the Hornets lost their temper completely, and the Nets finally won Game 4 easily.
4 to 0, 4 to 0 again, the third 4 to 0.
The Nets are still undefeated in the first three rounds!
This is a perfect interpretation of what is invincible.
On the other hand, the battle between the Warriors and the Lakers was more intense.
Davis is injured, but the injury situation is much better than that of Hayward. He only needs to rest for a week or so and may be able to play.
For the Lakers, their biggest goal, of course, is to drag the game until Davis comes back.
After all, the absence of Davis has had too much impact on them.
It’s just that there is always a gap between reality and ideals, and nine times out of ten things in life are unsatisfactory.
In the end, the Lakers failed to do that, 4-2, and the Warriors finally eliminated the Lakers after a 2-0, 3-1 score.
If you don’t watch the game, just look at the result, this is another upset.
After all, it can be seen from the league schedule that the encounter between the Nets and the Lakers is one of the most talked-about. If they meet in the finals, it will be absolutely amazing.
But after all, basketball is not football. The arrangement of a series is not so easy.
Nets VS Warriors, again.
For some new fans, this is definitely another matchup that can make them climax.
After all, this is the third year in a row the online battle.
Like the cavalry battle in history, this has become a feeling.
Of course, judging from the previous performances of the two teams, the Nets are obviously the one with a better chance of winning this year.
“Sometimes it’s really funny that LeBron failed again and stopped early.”
In the training hall of the Barclays Center, Durant was already smiling from ear to ear.
This summer, the super three giants are still lonely in the end!
Lin Ying drank the water with a smile on his face.
“So, how do you think we will win?”
After deciding the finals matchup, Durant became quite relaxed, and even the way he talked to Lin Ying changed.
Lin Ying saw that Durant was about to speak.
“I know we can never underestimate our opponents, especially opponents at the level of the Warriors, but we need momentum, right?”
Durant said before him.
Lin Ying smiled.
Durant has learned dialectics well.
But he still didn’t speak, because the Warriors gave them enough surprises last year when they lost James.
Losing Hayward now~www.mtlnovel.com~ In a sense, the loss is even smaller, and it cannot be underestimated either.
“4-0? What do you think we’ll do with another sweep? The first team in NBA history to win a championship with a sweep?”
Durant continued.
When he said this, his saliva was about to flow out.
Lin Ying also fell into thought this time.
Because this thing is indeed quite tempting.
There has never been a complete sweep of the playoffs to win a championship in NBA history.
The 76ers in 1983 and the Lakers in 2001 were the closest teams, each losing just one playoff game.
Now that the Warriors are left, the Nets do have this opportunity.
“It must be a very honorable thing, forever engraved in our playing career.”
Durant’s eyes gleamed with longing.
“Well, I know it must be wrong to think so, especially since I have said it.”
But after his longing was over, Durant spoke up again.
He knew that he was an old general, but he really couldn’t control his fantasies.
Lin Ying couldn’t help but smile at this time.
Under Durant’s curious eyes, he said with a relaxed expression:
“Then, give it a try?”
