This Forward is Not Serious - Vol 2 Chapter 630
“Are you really going to give up power next year?”
After sending off Davis, Rich Paul came out of James’ study.
“I just want to win.”
James did not give a positive answer, but said a very intriguing remark.
This sentence is somewhat ambiguous, because this win can be said to be next season, and delegating authority to Davis is for the Lakers to win.
But with Paul’s knowledge of James, he quickly guessed the meaning.
The win James said should not refer to next season, but to this year’s finals.
Let Davis rekindle his confidence, and then give James a peace of mind.
After all, in the current situation, without Davis, the Lakers really can’t beat the Nets.
“that p”
Rich Paul continued.
“As long as we can win, it’s ours.”
James said firmly.
Fu Paul thought for a while, then nodded.
In the past two games, Davis played extremely poor statistics, and even if he played well later, he would not be able to get P.
In other words, James does not need to deliberately grab points in the following games, as long as he wins the Nets normally, it will definitely be p.
Looking at it this way, it’s a good thing for the Lakers to lose these two away games.
Because it can be seen from the previous 2-0 that as long as the Lakers play well, it is almost impossible to beat the Nets.
Although he has been with James for a long time, he still had to sigh with emotion at this time, James is really smart.
The battle of Tianwang Mountain, the battle of life and death, has always been second only to the tie-breaker in the series.
Although the Nets seem to be in a better position to win the two cities in a row, no one knows what will happen if they fight in another place.
But the more interesting thing is that the Nets changed the hotel this time, and also equipped everyone with a high-end sound-isolating headphones.
This is obviously a wise move.
Having suffered losses in the first two games of the series, you can’t fall in the same place twice.
After all, the two sides are about to play Tianwang Mountain. It is unrealistic to expect some Lakers fans to “escort” like 2.
That’s how people are. When everything around him is not that big a threat to him, he will pursue external things such as propriety, righteousness, integrity, filial piety, loyalty and trust.
But when things are threatening enough to exist, there is only one thing he will pursue: to survive.
At 2, the Lakers didn’t say anything about an existential crisis. At that time, they still had the advantage, so some of them would respond to Kobe and pursue to defeat their opponents head-on.
But now it is Tianwangshan. The Lakers lost 6 games at the Nets’ home court. They are likely to be eliminated 2-4.
So under this background, whoever dares to be a “traitor” may really be beaten or even killed.
The Nets have proven necessary to do so, too.
Even though the hotel was changed and the sewer repairs in the morning didn’t happen again, the noise around the hotel at night still occurred.
But this time, because the Nets were prepared in advance, it did not have much impact on the Nets.
On the contrary, this approach has attracted a collective blowout from social media fans, and Nets fans have also released harsh words, and they will return it in the same way in Brooklyn next time.
The atmosphere before the game was already so tense, and the intensity of this game was predictable.
Just one day later, the Battle of Tianwang Mountain in the finals officially kicked off at the Staples Center.
The Staples Center was also star-studded on this day, with a large number of Hollywood stars in the front row of the audience.
Durant and Dickel appeared on the sidelines with their two children, and Durant also wore his exclusive green knitted hat.
It was given to him by Wanda many years ago, and he would wear it from time to time.
They obviously supported Lin Ying.
And Kobayashi also sat with the two children.
Swift didn’t come to the game because she was pregnant, and it was Todickel who helped bring it along.
During the warm-up before the game, Lin Ying also came over to greet Durant, and then rode his son on his shoulders for a walk around the arena.
During this process, he kept saying hello to people, and it was a change of direction that made Kobayashi familiar in Los Angeles.
And it can be seen that even in such a fierce battle, his mentality is still relatively relaxed.
Kobe and his wife also came to the game. He and Lin Ying hugged warmly. As the **** of Staples Center, what he supported tonight was not necessarily the Lakers.
Moreover, Lin Ying’s expression also changed significantly. After saying hello to Kobe, his expression became serious and serious.
Although it’s been almost a week since Kobe Bryant talked to him, and it doesn’t seem to come in handy, he never forgets it.
Whether the Lakers will be as civil as before, or the game will be difficult, he is ready to win this Tianwangshan.
After the opening ceremony, the starting lineups of both sides were released one after another.
The starting lineups on both sides are the same as in the past four games. It seems that this finals has not yet involved lineup and tactical adjustments.
Amid the cheers of the fans, Cousins dialed the ball back to the Lakers’ half court, officially kicking off the battle of Tianwang Mountain.
The first attack by the Lakers, after the others pulled away, Davis singled with the ball at a high position.
The Lakers’ opening offensive choice is very interesting, or it sends a signal that is very different from the past two games.
Davis catches the ball and hits Tucker with a single, turning and stepping hook.
The ball showed Davis’ technical characteristics, but Tucker’s defense also interfered. Davis finally faced Tucker’s shot and missed the basket.
Tucker’s defense in this round is very bright, but it can be seen that Davis did not feel very hot tonight.
Jokic took off the defensive rebound, the Nets played a fast break, and Caruso flew to the layup
“boom!”
I was directly hit by a chasing nail plate hat from James!
This instantly ignited the emotions of Staples Center fans.
They almost forgot how long they hadn’t seen James’ pegboard hat!
The signal sent out here is not only the fans, but also the few people in the commentary booth felt it.
“Tonight the Lakers are different from the last two games.”
Kenny Smith analyzed it for the first time.
As if to validate what Smith said, the Lakers’ offense pushing into the frontcourt is more intriguing.
It was Paul who gave the ball to James in the 45th corner on the right, and then actively moved to the weak side.
Just when the Nets felt that James was going to single or call a pick-and-roll, James directly reached out to signal Davis to lower.
And just as Davis stretched out his hand after he settled down, he passed the ball in!
This time, Davis seized the opportunity and made a steady hit after turning around to help the Lakers open the scoring.
And after Davis scored, James took the initiative to give Davis a high five while retreating!
This move also brought the atmosphere of the Staples Center to a climax in an instant.
Compared to the goal itself, this goal is the most positive response to those questions on social media. There is no problem between James and Davis!
Lin Ying also felt it. Although he didn’t know what was going on, it was clear that the Lakers’ poaching problem had been solved.
This also means that the difficulty of the Nets’ battle at Tianwangshan tonight will be much more difficult than the past two games.
Fortunately, as Davis showed in the opening round, he has a more average feel.
And although the Lakers attacked Lin Ying to limit Lin Ying’s shots at the beginning, the Nets were in full swing in two consecutive games before, and the whole team played well in the opening game.
When more than 8 minutes into this quarter, the two teams were evenly matched, and the two sides also entered the rotation normally.
However, as in the past few games, it is this bench link that the Lakers once again widened the point difference.
And when the main force came back in the second quarter, Davis’s feel began to improve, and the Lakers widened the point difference to 14 points in one breath.
54 to 40.
The cheers at Staples Center have been like waves crashing on the shore.
Kobe looked up at the scoreboard at this time, his expression a little complicated.
He was disdainful of James’ way of playing in a group, so much so that he chose to join the Nets at first, and he was not too interested in this Lakers.
But after all, he has played in the Lakers for 20 years, and he is a Laker at heart.
So part of his body doesn’t want the Lakers to win the championship, but part of him wants the Lakers to win the championship.
And at this time, there was still a part of him that wanted to see what Lin Ying could do.
Compared with the ownership of this champion, he is still more concerned about how far Lin Ying can achieve.
This is not only because of the relationship between them, but also because of the expectations of a strong person for another strong person.
At this time, there are about 6 minutes left before the end of the second quarter, and the situation on the court is already very dangerous for the Nets.
Once the point difference is further widened by the Lakers, the balance of victory will be completely tilted towards the Lakers.
In the Nets’ offensive round, the Lakers still adhered to the opening strategy, and carried out a frantic attack on Lin Ying, which even had a taste of “reverse Jordan law”.
For the past two to three minutes, this strategy has worked well.
Compared with Lin Ying, the offensive stability of the rest of the Nets is a lot worse.
Jokic’s high singles were still blocked.
After Davis was back in full-strength mode, his twin towers with Cousins put the little fat man back in struggle.
Cousins picked up the rebound, and the Lakers immediately pushed the defensive back.
As long as one more goal is scored, it is a watershed of 15 points!
Paul dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, stopped the ball from beyond the three-point line, and then gave a pass without looking to James who cut in the middle.
James took the ball directly into the air.
“boom!”
“Peng!”
An exquisite pass, a powerful one-handed dunk slammed into the basket.
The ball just disappeared from his hands!
There was an uproar at the scene.
Because at the moment when James pulled the ball high, Lin Ying’s chase took off ahead of schedule, and slapped the ball in James’ hand and flew out!
Lin Ying’s chasing hat is quite a boost to morale.
The Lakers sideline ball came out, and James didn’t dare to hit it!
Because for a while, he couldn’t figure out how Zhan’s axe, which he was best at, came out.
Davis missed his mid-range shot after being interfered by Lin Ying.
Lin Ying couldn’t find a chance on the offensive end, and at this critical point of the score, he filled his presence on the defensive end.
Fans are now paying attention to who is more worthy of p between Butler and Leonard, but Lin Ying was also p in those days!
And the fans haven’t turned around yet, the Nets took advantage of the momentum to play a light-speed fast break.
Lin Ying and Caruso poured the ball back and forth. He had just interfered with Davis’s shot at the elbow one second before, and the next second, he had the ball to the midfield, and the next second he had gotten rid of the chasing James. Kill the restricted area.
Only Paul was left in front of him. Paul directly stretched out his hand and wanted to commit an early foul, but he was too familiar with Paul.
“Peng!”
Come back with a tomahawk and smash the ball into the basket!
Lin Ying used a lot of strength this time. The basketball smashed in like a cannonball and then hit the floor heavily. After bouncing back, it hit Paul head-on!
Paul clenched his fist, if it wasn’t for Lin Ying, he would have rushed up on the spot.
In the Lakers’ offense, Paul held the ball and played a pick-and-roll with Davis, Paul’s iconic step back from the middle distance.
This is the way he is best at scoring, and he is looking for Davis pick-and-roll just to find some ground in front of Lin Ying.
But what he never expected was that Lin Ying’s defensive concentration in this section was much higher than he thought. He raised the angle of his shot, but he was still covered by Lin Ying’s fingertips!
After the ball fell in the air, Lin Ying took off twice, and the Nets played a fast break again.
Lin Ying’s catch in the fast break this time was attacked by multiple people, and he distributed the ball to Crabbe who followed up on the right.
Crabbe’s 3-point shot is pretty standard
“when!”
But luck was a little bit bad, the ball hit the front of the basket and bounced out of the frame.
It was like a roller coaster ride for the fans at the scene.
Originally, he was heading for the 15-point mark. If Crabbe made a three-pointer, the difference would be reduced to single digits.
Davis jumped high and took off the defensive rebound, UU read www. uukanshu. com The Lakers countered the Nets’ fast break.
A transition from James’ midfield quickly shoved the ball to Cousins, who was still in the backcourt.
Cousins catches the ball for a close-range wipe.
But at the moment when the ball was shot, a figure rushed back to the backcourt and slapped it high.
“boom!”
Directly put Cousins’ shot on the backboard!
The scene has just caught up, and the person who completed the nail plate is clearly Lin Ying!
The fans were stunned.
They also forgot how long they hadn’t seen Lin Ying’s defensive performance, and it was still in series!
Moreover, Lin Ying pocketed the ball with both hands in the air after nailing the board, and then chased after him and launched a fast break again.
The Nets came to the front court again, and the ball reached Jokic at the free throw line. After Jokic’s single action attracted a pinch, he returned the ball to Lin Ying.
After Lin Ying caught the ball, he finally had the space to make a shot. He made a three-threat false breakthrough, and then threw it with his hands open.
The hearts of the fans at the scene experienced the second roller coaster, and they mentioned it directly in their throats.
Although Lin Ying has not yet shot in this quarter, in theory, his hands should be relatively cold.
But that’s Lin Ying!
“Shh!”
A crisp sound, like a sharp arrow, directly pierced their hearts, and a chill struck instantly.
Lin Ying’s chasing three points, enter!
The difference is still in the single digits!
In the stands, Kobe unconsciously clenched his fist.
Although saying that Lin Ying is the one who inherited his will has raised him a bit, the reality is that Lin Ying did everything he said.
Moreover, Lin Ying is even smarter. He did not try to shoot difficult shots like himself, but used defense to drive offense.
From this point of view, this is again better than blue!
