Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty-Eight Do you see my face that you can afford?(1/2)
The Zen master urgently changed back to Wei Xia, and it seemed too late, but the Lakers were still trying to catch up with points.
When Kobe scored a series of jump shots to 8 points, the Celtics called a timeout.
Then, Pierce unyieldingly made four consecutive points, Allen's long shot, and Garnett's dunk after taking offensive rebounds.
That wave of 11-0 almost ruined the suspense of the game.
However, the Lakers still did not give up.
As the game was approaching, Wei Xia led the shooters to amaze the three-pointers.
If it weren't for Ray Allen's long shot at the bottom corner, if Pierce hadn't finally won the free throw in the crowd, the outcome would be unknown.
During that period, the referee on duty seemed to be willing to the scale.
The Lakers show their true side: the Western Civil War vs. the Nuggets and the Jazz. At the last moment, the Zen Master's previous substitution adjustments will always show power.
He will make sure that every player present has a full physical fitness, tight defense and fast attack. The three-pointer rain is of course a bit accidental - at the last moment, both the Celtics and the Lakers entered an abnormal state. The former is sluggish, while the latter goes wild.
The only regret is that the venue they are still on the road.
It takes many factors to complete a major reversal that has been recorded in history on the road.
Those factors are no longer there now.
The Lakers' scoring craze came to an abrupt end in the last two rounds.
This is a game that would have made many old Lakers fans brag after several years, "Hear me tell you the story of the second game of the 2008 Finals? The Celtics vs. The Big Three vs. The Garden home court, the Lakers fell behind in the last quarter, and the three-pointer turned defeated in the last round!"
This would have been a classic battle that could have been boasted about 20 years later.
Unfortunately, the Celtics remained as unfamiliar with the style.
It is certainly a pity for the Lakers not to steal a victory in Boston, but the series has just begun.
However, they (the Lakers) still lost the opportunity to win the championship at home - even if they get all three at home, they must go back to the garden to play again.
Phil Jackson lost a team first in the finals in 1991, 1993, 1998, and 2001. He has never been 0-2 in his finals journey.
"Everything has its first time, and each of us is not ready."
Jackson was also stunned when he heard reporters say that he was 2-0 in his career finals for the first time.
The Lakers lost but were not frustrated.
The reasons for the loss in the first and second games are different.
There are many problems that can be said in the first game, and most of those problems were solved in the second game.
As for the second game, they lag behind first and then lead, and then fall behind. There is still a chance to turn defeat into victory until the end of the game.
It is even easier to summarize the reasons for losing.
The inside line is not hard enough!
The inside line is not hard enough!
Still the inside line is not strong enough!
For three years, it seems that every time they lose in the playoffs is related to the inside. In the past two years, their inside depth has reached the lowest point in history. After getting Gasol, the inside of the Western Conference team can no longer implement a dimensionality reduction attack on them.
But there is another world in the finals.
It's not scary to have a single Garnett.
What's scary is that Garnett is surrounded by Perkins, Brown, and Lyon Powell and James Posey who exploded tonight.
The existence of these people makes the Celtics' inside line enough to suppress the Lakers.
There are so many reasons for losing in the first game, and the biggest reason to choose is that too many offensive rebounds were snatched.
In the second game, the Lakers team spent their lives, both outside and inside, regard defending rebounds as their responsibilities and mission. They rely on their advantage in the sea of people to offset the gap in the inside and protect the defensive rebounds.
Then, the Celtics took them to review the most primitive basketball.
I am taller than you, stronger than you, stronger than you, more barbaric than you, and more willing to use my body. What do you do to me?
The Lakers' inside line was ravaged helplessly.
Even Wei Xia, who has always shown her tough playing style, cannot withstand their targeting.
The Celtics can be regarded as crazy confrontation and physical contact. The game is like wrestling, which makes the Lakers lose the second time.
Wei Xia, who had 27 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists in the game, sat on the bus back to the hotel and kept thinking.
If the Celtics continue to use tonight's strategy, how can they face the enemy?
He has poor performance on the offensive end and can expect his teammates to come back in the next game.
If you don’t perform well on the defensive end, someone will definitely be beaten up, and others will not provide help. So do a good job of rotation and defense replacement in the next game?
But what should I do if I am not as tough as my opponent?
If I can adjust the feel of the hand slowly, if I can't keep it in my heart, the result will not change.
Wei Xia couldn't help but open her eyes.
Kobe sat opposite him and they looked at each other.
Wei Xia didn't want to show her heartless appearance after losing two consecutive away games, but Kobe's expression is really interesting now.
He might have held his anger, his lips pouted, looking like a duck.
"You can still laugh?"
"Sorry..." Wei Xia wanted to bear it but couldn't help it. "You have a responsibility, why do you have to make such an expression?"
Did he think Kobe, who was so angry that he was confused, could properly manage his expression?
"You thought you played a good game and thought that losing had nothing to do with you. I tell you. You were as soft as a lump of mud in the second half! Why are you afraid? Those bastards can't stand it if you give you a few fights?" Kobe shot the first bird and the first bullet hit Wei Xia directly.
Wei Xia, who scored 27 points, was not the highest score in the team.
The highest scorer in the team is Kobe, who is attacking him at this moment.
He made 12 of 26 shots in the game and saw 30 points, 10 rebounds and 3 assists.
"Did I say I can't stand it?" Wei Xia couldn't help asking.
Kobe asked back: "I scored a total of 20 points in the first half. How many points did you score in the second half? 7 points!"
"That's right, but my hit rate seems to be higher than you..."
Wei Xia is the fly that drills eggs. He is used to catching his opponent's grammatical diseases and countering him, which can be regarded as angering Kobe.
"You look at my face on the horse!"
Uh... Wei Xia lived to be 24 years old and had never heard of such a strange request.
"Why?"
"Fuck you're going to have a good look at this face!" Kobe said gritting his teeth, "Do you think my expression is something you can afford to offend me?"
OK, Wei Xia chose to shut up.
The bus was extremely quiet, and the confrontation between Wei Xia and Kobe reached the ears of many people.
However, no one interrupted, and there were only the sound of the two of them and the car moving in the entire bus.
Even the coaching staff didn't interrupt.
Back in the hotel room, Wei Xia decided to do something else to distract herself.
His voice mailbox was filled with comfort from dear friends.
If he wants to get rid of his defeat tonight, he cannot listen to these people's comfort.
The more comforted others, the more he became more entangled, and some things in his heart were like "So many people are looking forward to my performance, but I messed up" and so on.
He flipped around, including Elaine Trovis' text messages.
Just text messages, not voice messages.
Wei Xia clicked on it and saw it.
"Please call me after the game - Ilain who misses you."
It's concise and to the point, it's really her style.
Wei Xia didn't think much about it and called Trovis directly.
"I'm a little sleepy now. If you want to complain about the game, I can be a listener, but I probably won't talk to you, and, more than 75% of the time I'm likely to fall asleep while listening to your complaints, do you mind?"
Wei Xia wanted to know whether the probability she said casually or was it true?
"Don't worry, I don't want to talk to you about the competition."
"I just want to find someone to talk to."
"Okay, what are you talking about?"
Wei Xia judged through her tone that Trovis was indeed sleepy: "When will your first signing be?"
"Tomorrow, but I won't go to the scene. To be precise, it was an auction, and I'll take out a new book with some of my manuscripts and autographs..."
To be continued...
