This Forward is Not Serious - Vol 2 Chapter 629
Fans on social media haven’t quite understood the situation, and the Lakers fans are the most confused.
Because after a 2-0 lead, why was this suddenly hung up by the Nets!
In the end, what they discussed and concluded was that the Lakers just felt bad in the second quarter!
Then came back from halftime, and the Lakers were beaten by the Nets again.
The issue between James and Davis was not resolved in midfield, or it was impossible to talk about such a sensitive matter right away.
So after the opening of the third quarter, the Lakers played exactly the same way as the second quarter, and the Nets also widened the point difference to 30 points in one breath.
If it weren’t for Cousins playing well in the interior during the rotation period and narrowing the point difference, the Lakers would not only lose, but also lose face.
But even so, the Nets still led the Lakers by 25 points into the final quarter, which directly became garbage time.
And then in this last section, the most outrageous thing happened.
The Lakers replaced the main force with 7 minutes left in the game and struggled for the last time. After the struggle failed, they were replaced.
But after sitting off the court for less than two minutes, James actually got on again!
Of the nine substitutes on the field, James was the only starter, and the 10,000-green bushes were always a little red and looked very dazzling.
“What is he doing?”
Even Jokic couldn’t help turning his head to ask Lin Ying.
Little Fatty was bewildered the whole way tonight, because there were too many things in the Lakers tonight that he couldn’t understand.
Lin Ying smiled and said nothing.
In the history he knows, James did something similar with the Heat.
History has changed now, James didn’t have a chance at that time, but he did it now.
It can only be said that he really values fmvp, and he really wants it too much.
Just like fans like to use honors to evaluate players’ strength, the media usually only look at the average data when voting in fmvp. Who really cares if you have brushed the data in garbage time?
Even if someone cares, how many fans will remember this in the future?
So as long as you have a thick skin, it will not be white or white.
In the end, the Nets defeated the Lakers 120-100.
Lin Ying didn’t exert much effort in the second and third quarters, and the final statistics were only 36 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists, but 6 players on the Nets scored in double figures.
On the Lakers side, although Davis started well, he only shot 14 times, not as many as Paul, and finally scored 18 points and 11 rebounds.
The best data on the Lakers side is James, who scored a triple-double of 34 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists, of which 8 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists came from the fourth quarter.
The Nets won their first home game so inexplicably, tying the score to 1-2.
The most interesting thing at this time is the social media after the game.
“Why can’t ad and Paul be more helpful to LeBron? They don’t have as many points combined as LeBron!”
“Who will say that the Lakers are in a hurry with him in the future! As far as ad and Paul’s performance are concerned, what kind of giants are they? If it really counts, is Terry also a giant for Yao and Nowitzki’s calf?”
“LeBron is too difficult. If it weren’t for him, the Lakers might have been beaten in the first quarter!”
“ad went into stealth after hitting two **** in the opening game, and he didn’t even have the desire to attack in the back. He couldn’t hit the headwind at all!”
…
Thanks to Lin Ying not being Durant, he doesn’t have the habit of watching social media after the game, otherwise he would have to be euthanized.
These comments are really canon, and if you haven’t watched the game, it’s easy to be taken in.
Of course, even if he didn’t watch social media, Lin Ying was still in a pretty good mood at this time.
Because James and Davis start to compete for fmvp as they have in history, then the Nets are in a good position to win the championship.
To say that the overall strength of the Lakers this year is indeed the one closest to the Nets last year, but it is still different in nature.
Because that doesn’t happen inside the Nets.
This is not only because Lin Ying and Durant played together in college, but also because of people’s personalities.
Durant’s second championship with the Warriors in history was very similar.
At that time, the Lakers and Cavaliers were completely one-sided. After two games, the Warriors took a 2-0 lead. Curry and Durant performed equally well. The voice of fmvp was almost the same, even because Durant was the fmvp the year before, and Curry This year the voice is even higher.
It is against this background that Durant made it very obvious for fmvp. He only made 14 shots in the second game, and only 17 shots in the last game. He also helped Curry get 37 points, but Curry. G3’s performance was really a war criminal, and he didn’t let it go in the end.
Therefore, the rise of the dynasty is not only as simple as paper strength, but also has a lot to do with the characters of the core characters.
Not to mention, the ok combination was able to complete the dynasty at that time, which was related to the constant concessions of the two. Although the two had constant conflicts, the points on and off the court were clear.
Besides, the Heat, who have won two consecutive championships in history, is because they met Wade’s good temper.
The collapse of the dynasty is not only because of the strength of the external enemy, but also because of the internal.
If this problem is not solved, then the Lakers rout may be close at hand.
Of course, that’s not to say the Nets have turned the tide now.
Because even if James and Davis fought for fmvp in history, the Lakers still won the championship that year.
The paper strength of this Lakers team is here. As long as the problem can be solved, it will still be very difficult for the Nets to win.
…
“Boom! Boom!”
There was a knock on Davis’ door.
He got up excitedly, and took the key card of his room with him.
It wasn’t James who knocked on the door, it was jr.
On their first night in Brooklyn, they got a call from a local nightclub.
Davis was dismissive at the time, and he complained to JR when he was still training. What age is this, and he even engages in telemarketing.
But this time was different from the other. After g3 lost, he played a long game in the hotel to vent.
But that venting didn’t work because the way he lost was so hard for him.
Not to mention that as a young player, he also surfs social media, and when he sees those words from the fans, he feels like his whole person is about to explode.
So he directly asked jr to take him to a nightclub.
jr is a New Yorker and played for the Nets for so many years, he’s more reliable than a sales pitch.
…
The Nets and Lakers’ Game 4 resumed at Barclays Center a day later.
This game was obviously more intense than g3. James was in a hot state at the beginning, and Paul also showed his attitude.
However, Davis was in no state in the game, and his several chances of winning were all out of the basket.
McMillan couldn’t stand it after this hit, and directly replaced Davis.
That’s when Davis’ role in the Lakers’ system came to the fore.
With him on the court, the Lakers’ inside defense is the best in the league, but when he ends up, do you expect Cousins to replace Davis?
Moreover, James is no longer a young James. In order to ensure the efficiency of the offensive end, the investment on the defensive end has decreased, and the defensive effect has dropped greatly.
So the result of these changes is that although the Lakers have good offensive efficiency, they can’t defend against the Nets’ offense.
It’s not just Lin Ying who asks for anything, even Jokic is overwhelmed on the inside.
The two teams were evenly matched in the first three quarters, and until the fourth quarter, the Lakers’ offensive efficiency began to drop.
Although James and Paul played well, they were too old, and their physical fitness began to fail in the fourth quarter.
The final result is that the Nets relied on the fourth quarter to successfully accept the game.
According to the statistics after the game, Lin Ying on the Nets side scored 40+ again and scored 46 points, while James on the Lakers side scored a triple-double of 42 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists.
2 to 2!
Before the two teams moved to Brooklyn, no one could have imagined that the Nets would be able to tie a big score!
But now, the Nets not only tied, but the whole process was completely unexpected.
More fans are like waking up to see that Gobert can change from ten to five in the first round: what the **** happened?
It is against this background that some fans finally began to analyze the starting point of everything, the first section of g3.
Davis couldn’t get the ball after two hits, something that only comes to the surface when you watch the game carefully.
At first, the fans sprayed the object of Paul, thinking that Paul failed to distribute the ball as a point guard.
This kind of voice was loud for a while, until Lakers coach McMillan stepped up to speak for Paul, and Paul’s fans began to fight back.
It was at this time that the possibility of James grabbing fmvp was raised.
For a time, James was on the cusp.
Although James and Davis themselves refused to express their views on this matter, it can be felt that the pressure brought by public opinion this time is very great for the Lakers.
Even if it is not handled well, the Lakers are likely to be swept out by the Nets.
…
After playing G4, the Lakers returned to Los Angeles the next day.
The score of 2 to 2 was something that none of them expected, and then they will usher in the battle of Tianwangshan with the Nets at home.
The game has gotten to the point where they can’t afford to lose, and if they lose again, they’ll likely be beaten 2-4.
And this means that after they won two games, they were “swept by gentlemen” by the Nets!
After the day’s training, James took the initiative to invite Davis to be a guest at his home.
Although Davis had a gap with James after going through g3, this kind of face must still be given to James.
At the door of James’ mansion, James was already waiting for him at the door, and took the initiative to reach out and give him a big hug.
At James’ house, Davis enjoyed an extremely sumptuous dinner, the royal chef, and top-notch cuisine. This meal is definitely expensive.
After dinner, James took Davis to rest in the garden behind his house.
Sitting on the special half-recumbent hanging basket chair, Davis had to sigh with emotion. In his previous impression, James was an extremely self-disciplined person, but in fact James enjoys life more than he thought.
“ad, I know there’s a lot of negative news out there right now.”
Finally, after a series of foreshadowing, James began to get to the point.
Davis sat up from his half-lying position when he heard this.
He was willing to come this time, mostly guessing that James would talk about this.
The current situation is not good for the Lakers, they do need some communication or they will lose this championship.
“They’re all untrue reports, some of the comments the Nets made to beat us.”
Davis couldn’t help laughing at James’ next words.
If James invited him to finish his meal today just to say this, the meal would be for nothing.
These false feelings cannot solve the contradiction between the two.
“I know.”
However, after realizing that he was a little gaffe, Davis immediately switched that gaffe to his disdainful smile at those remarks.
His acting skills are good, but obviously he can’t be fake in front of James, an old actor.
These were all expected by James, so James continued to speak.
And what he said next made Davis stop smiling, and then he was really stunned.
“The future of the Lakers must be yours, right?”
James then continued his offensive.
“I’m 35 years old, and cp3 is also 34 years old~www.mtlnovel.com~ How many years can we play? So the future of the Lakers must be yours.”
The corners of Davis’ mouth rose slightly. Although he still had some gaps with James’ previous actions, James’s words were really comfortable to listen to.
It is because of James and Paul that the average player retires at this age.
But even James and Paul, how old can they play?
Jordan retired for the second time at the age of 37, not to mention the Wizards career, it was purely performative.
Even if James is well maintained, 38-year-old is the limit, and 38-year-old James is still the core of the team? This is obviously not realistic.
So it’s entirely true that the Lakers’ future is his.
“I talked to cp3 when we first came, we want to train you to be the future of the Lakers in two or three years. I have worked hard to beat Lin in the past two years, but as long as I beat the Nets this year, then I will No regrets, do you understand what I mean?”
Davis nodded.
What James means is that after winning the Nets this year, he will take a back seat. What he does in g3 is not to grab fmvp, but to win.
It doesn’t sound like it’s true, but it doesn’t really matter if it’s true or not, because this passage is a promise James made to him.
James is indeed hypocritical sometimes, but it is not enough to directly deny what he said in person.
“So ad, we can’t let the Nets trick us, we have to pull together and play our basketball like we did before and beat the Nets and get this **** championship, we can do it!”
James finally said with a sincere look.
Davis nodded vigorously.
For his own future, he must win this year too!
