I’m Really Playing Basketball

This year's finals are very tight, with only one day off between the second and third games.

The time of the finals G2 is June 6th, and the time of G3 is June 8.

This schedule is a huge challenge for both the Lakers and the Nets.

So the Lakers finished the Nets game and went back to Los Angeles overnight to prepare for their home game.

The Nets, on the other hand, rested one more night.

Before going to Los Angeles, you must rest well, otherwise everything is unknown in away games, and the Nets players may not be able to rest well in away games.

For current NBA players, playing away games in the Finals, what the Jazz fans did to the Bulls is a compulsory course.

Of course, Lakers fans are not crazy Jazz fans, but everything must be careful.

After restoring my energy all night, I got up and looked at the system's information prompt.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for achieving 6 blocks in a single game in an A-level game, achieving the achievement "Impermeable", rewarding 3 blocks experience cards, a 2 cm arm span, and a career value of 800."

It's okay, 5 cards for 3 cards, Chen Xiao felt that after the first two games against O'Neal, O'Neal should not be so arrogant. These three block experience cards are used to maintain deterrence, but they are still enough.

After getting three more precious cap experience cards, plus the exhaustion of body and mind after waking up, Chen Xiao suddenly felt quite refreshed.

Chen Xiao and the Nets players set off at 10 a.m. on June 7, and the plane traversed the entire east and west of the United States. After six hours, they arrived in Los Angeles at four in the afternoon.

When Chen Xiao and the Nets players walked out of the airport, the whole scene was chaotic like a fire and ice.

On one side is a huge booing and verbal abuse to the Nets, this is a local fan of the Los Angeles Lakers.

On the other side, there are a group of Asian fans who cheer and cheer Chen Xiao in pure or impure Chinese pronunciation.

These Chinese fans are the basic card of Chen Xiao's fans in the United States.

Chen Xiao is a Chinese. It is very difficult for a Chinese to gain many real local fans in the United States.

Chen Xiao currently has a small number of fans in the United States, and most of them are fans watching the excitement.

Chen Xiao's true diehard fan base set, one is a Chinese fan, one is a local New Jersey fan, and the other is a Marquette University fan from Milwaukee.

As for American fans in other regions, Chen Xiao is not without die-hard loyalties, but there are not many die-hard loyalties.

By the way, because of Chen Xiaozhong's behavior and language, there are many fans under the age of 15 in the United States.

However, in the eyes of many people, these are just kiddies with limited spending power, and they are not included in the statistics at all.

This is also the reason why Nike is so ignorant of Yao Ming and Chen Xiao's contract, but it is so simple to give James the contract, and the shot is 100 million.

Nationality still suffers, as does cultural identity.

However, neither Chen Xiao nor Yao Ming planned to change their nationality, nor did they plan to cater to American culture when attending important occasions. They said something like the American air is fragrant, or when interviewing, they should use the American accent in English. Or say some local American slang and jokes from time to time to get the recognition of American fans.

Chen Xiao's English is very good. He can speak, but he doesn't speak at all.

And Yao Ming, um, sometimes in order to create his own humorous personality, he would say that this is not being assimilated, it is simply hoping that he can tell jokes that Americans can understand.

At this point, Chen Xiao is much more free and easy than Yao Ming, hum, the character of this fierce beast is originally ferocious and humorous!

I, Chen Xiao, fierce beast, conqueror, I love your fear more than I love it!

The eyes of God will rule the world!

Keke, sorry, the atmosphere suddenly changed again.

Because the Lakers have fallen behind 0-2 in the first two games of the Finals.

So the local Lakers fans in Los Angeles want to create some distractions for the Nets and put some pressure on the Nets players.

but……

It's not Chen Xiao and the Nets player "Lake Lakers Fans". In this regard, Lakers fans are like NBA fans such as the Jazz and Celtics.

These Los Angeles fans want to make themselves look "very fierce and fierce". In fact, in the eyes of Chen Xiao and Ji boss, the Lakers fans are all kind of "cute and fierce", not only not scary, but also quite cute.

"When we played the finals here last season, didn't they like us very much?"

Richard Jefferson looked surprised at these cute and fierce Los Angeles Lakers fans.

"At this moment, at that moment, I didn't expect that our Nets would also have the noble Los Angeles fans scold the streets!"

Ji boss, very excited.

This kind of behavior of fans squatting at the airport and cursing the street, if it is done by Jazz fans, or Celtics fans, or Pistons fans, there will be no sense of disobedience.

But the Los Angeles Lakers fans who claim to be the No. 1 aristocratic fan in the NBA actually acted like this "common people". It is indeed quite surprising and interesting.

Of course, it is indeed quite exciting.

Because, this shows that after the previous two games, the Nets have reversed the world's view of this round of the finals before the start of the finals.

A team that thought it had only a 3% chance of winning before the game has already pushed a team with a 97% chance of winning into a desperate situation.

In fact, there are indeed many Lakers fans in Los Angeles who are desperate.

Because the Lakers were too hot before the game, this finals was known as the least suspenseful finals in history. Therefore, it is true that many Los Angeles fans went bankrupt and pressured the Lakers to win the championship!

The newspaper said that these Los Angeles fans are miserable now.

Therefore, after playing two games in the finals, the entire Los Angeles was enveloped in a cloud of despair.

Los Angeles is so desperate, the Nets players look at it, of course it is very cool!

After coming to Los Angeles, the Nets did not give the players a holiday. The team's head coach Byron Scott and Eddie Jordan called Chen Xiao, Kidd and all the Nets players to a meeting.

"Now we are in a very good situation. The finals are leading 2-0. The whole world is optimistic about us and bragging about us, but, lads, we have not won the next away game so far. At the same time, don’t forget your opponents. They are a dynasty team!"

"The last team that is so boasted by the whole world is them!"

"Although I don't know how the Lakers will change their passive situation in the next game, what I can think of is that the Los Angeles Lakers will never give up their hope of four consecutive championships!"

"It's not time for us to relax and celebrate. Don't let your career leave any regrets. So, kids, go and make this season's dream come true!"

Byron Scott did not tactically deploy any targeted tactics. Perhaps Byron Scott felt that tactically, the Nets had nothing to say. No matter what the Lakers play, the Nets' lineup is Can cope.

Therefore, Byron Scott is emphasizing things on the attitude and spiritual level.

To be reasonable, Byron Scott's theories are some of the old NBA talks, and they have limited effect on most of the NBA players.

But for the Nets, it's extraordinarily lethal!

This is really thanks to Rod Thorne, the general manager of the Nets, who traded Chen Xiao before the start of the finals.

So, this is their last season playing together!

If you are really sorry, then there will be no chance to make up for it in the future.

Because the team management did not trust them collectively, and because of Chen Xiao's departure, it can be said that at this time, the Nets players were indeed suffocated.

As long as the Nets players have this gas, as long as this gas does not vent, Byron Scott is very relieved.

In Byron Scott's view, the Lakers have very limited means.

The most likely to be used is some off-board tricks.

In other people's territory, it is very difficult for you to prevent others from using some extravagance.

For example, after the Nets players stayed in the hotel, the hotel staff began to promote the hotel’s beauties to the Nets players, as well as some of the hotel’s VIP gameplay.

Although you played a lot of advanced in New York, the advanced in Los Angeles is different from that in New York.

bump!

bump!

bump!

The sound of closing doors shook the hotel sales manager’s eardrums.

At the same time, it shocked the hotel manager. This group of millionaires, who are considered to be the most vulgar and filthy millionaires in the United States, actually rejected them all...

No, there is one more...

Seeing Richard Jefferson sneaking out of the room, the manager's eyes lit up.

"That's really big?"

Richard Jefferson gave a hungry gesture.

"It's big, it's really big!"

The manager also gestured to Richard Jefferson.

Let's take one, and pull an important Nets player into the water. There are also good rewards.

"Brother, help me stay for five days. No, three days. After three days, I will receive the goods again. This is a tip."

Richard Jefferson looked around cautiously and ran into the room again.

After Richard Jefferson left, several important Nets players sneaked out.

Looking at the thousand dollars in his hand, the hotel manager didn't know what to say for a while.

In the end, you can only tell the truth to the buyer behind you.

"Three days?"

"Is this going to sweep us?"

The voice on the other end of the phone felt offended.

At this time, after dinner together, when Byron Scott once again called the players for a meeting...

"This year's finals, we have to end the battle in three days!"

"Sweep the Lakers, we want to sweep the Lakers!"

"The victory belongs to the New Jersey Nets!"

"..."

Looking at the enthusiastic Nets players at this time, Byron Scott and Eddie Jordan were a little confused.

Was what we said this afternoon so effective?

Even if it is effective, shouldn't the stimulation be delayed?

Seeing Richard Jefferson and Martin Brothers doing this, Chen Xiao and Ji's boss were also a little surprised.

However, after the accident, Ji's boss was happy.

"People's hearts can be used!"

"These boys are so motivated!"

As the boss, I haven't chanted such a slogan, this group of boys chanted such a slogan!

The beauty of the Los Angeles Lakers turned into the Nets' desire for beauty to quench their thirst. This is unexpected.

Of course, how could the Los Angeles Lakers' extra-hands be so little.

However, the Nets are also very careful.

The hotel where the Nets stayed was a downtown hotel, and there was absolutely no place to hold a concert at night next to it.

The training venue used by the Nets, yes, the training hall. Kei's boss was born at the University of California, Berkeley, and is the University of California, Los Angeles. In fact, he belongs to his own family.

Therefore, the Lakers have few off-board moves available to the Nets.

As for playing tricks at Staples during the game, it is even more impossible.

Staples is not owned by the Lakers, the Lakers really don't have the ability to do damage at Staples.

This is also the reason why Los Angeles’ off-market moves are placed in hotels.

The hotel failed this trick, and the other tricks were basically useless.

Unless the Nets are the white rabbits of the Finals, they will be recruited without any experience.

However, the Nets were swept by the Lakers in the Finals last year.

Therefore, on the night of June 8, 2003, seeing the New Jersey Nets players come to Staples very normally, the Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak in the Staples stand was a little bit grumble.

Yesterday's beauty game Nets players were not fooled. The cheerleaders he sent out are not ready to come back!

This Nima's meat bun beats a dog, and the beauty is lost and heartbroken.

Of course, only Kupchak and the Lakers management staff knew about this kind of thing.

On the court, the Nets and Los Angeles player coaches, who are now the focus of the game and even the whole world, did not know that the off-court battles between the two teams were so wonderful.

Before the game started, as the host, Kobe welcomed Chen Xiao, and O'Neal also welcomed Kidd.

After the warm-up of the two teams ended, the starting players of the two teams also came to the field.

And on TV, this time also played the starting players of the two teams in this game.

For the Nets, Martin, Xiao Chen, Richard Jefferson, Rodney Rogers and Kidd started.

For the Lakers, the starters are O'Neal, Braxon, Robert Horry, Kobe and Fisher.

The starting players on both sides have changed.

For the Nets, Chen Xiao, who performed very well on both offensive and defensive ends in the previous game, started the game directly at the power forward position.

As for the Lakers, the backup power forward has been playing as a substitute in the playoffs. Chen Xiao’s younger brother in college can play five positions and the all-around insider Odate-Brakson, who is only 2.01 meters tall, is the player of this game. Starting power forward.

Seeing that Braxon was the starting power forward of the Lakers in this game, many commentators and expert reporters on the scene were very surprised.

Braxon performed very well in the regular season. Together with the Lakers' shooter power forward Walker, he is the Lakers' rotation starting power forward.

Braxon and Walker played different opponents in turns.

Braxon is comprehensive, capable of everything, especially good at rebounding, especially offensive rebounds. In the NCAA environment without defense for three seconds, he averaged three offensive rebounds per game after starting at Marquette University.

In addition, he is also good at defensively, can pass and even shoot.

In the NCAA, Braxon made 37% of his three-pointers and made at least one three-pointer per game, and his field goal percentage was as high as 53%.

In the NCAA, he is good at shooting.

Of course, in the NBA, his shooting is relatively not so good. The three-point shot percentage is only over 30%, and the field goal percentage is only over 45%.

So in the second half of the regular season, when the Lakers KO team needed offensive space, he didn't start again.

In the playoffs and the Timberwolves, against the Kings and Spurs, it was even more difficult to make Braxson, who was not too good at shooting.

Therefore, Braxon has retired from the start of the season to the transparent man of the Lakers.

Such a transparent person suddenly started in the finals, which is really surprising.

"No matter Horry or Kobe in the last game, the defensive magic boy did not work well on the inside. Kobe is too short, Horry is too slow, and Braxon has a good speed, a good height, and a good defense. He is a magic inside defender. An ideal candidate for the kid."

After being surprised, many experts on the sidelines felt that it seemed that the defense of Chen Xiao with Braxon was very good.

Even the Nets coach Byron Scott on the sidelines thinks so.

He didn't think of Phil Jackson's other use of Braxon.

So, sitting in his seat and listening to all kinds of discussions around him, Phil Jackson had a smile on his face.

"He's more than just defending Wonder Boy!"

In the middle of the court, O'Neal and Battelle jumped the ball.

Another matchup without any suspense, O'Neal has not lost the jump ball in this finals.

The same is true for this game.

O'Neal easily defeated Battelle with a jump ball, and the Lakers once again won the game's first offense.

Amid the cheers of the Lakers fans, Fisher did not dribble the ball after halftime with the ball, and directly threw the ball to Kobe outside the three-point line.

Outside the three-point line, Kobe, who was holding the ball in front of him, looked at Kidd, who was a half-step away from him, and raised his eyebrows. This is why he can't score every time he meets Kidd.

Because this guy's defense is too ‘perfect’!

Every defensive action, every defensive choice is very reasonable.

This makes offensive players basically unable to get the bonus points that defensive players get because of defensive mistakes.

If you can't get gift points, you have to rely on hard power to get every point. This is too difficult!

But this time!

It's different!

"Kobe was stopped by Kidd's defense!"

In the first offense of the Lakers, Kobe stopped the ball with the ball head-on, which caused many Lakers fans on the sidelines to be a little worried.

At the same time, many experts on the sidelines and in front of the TV are shaking their heads.

"Kobe actually hesitated, the Lakers are under too much pressure in this game!"

"I feel that the Lakers will lose again in this game!"

And at this moment, Kobe, who stopped the ball in front of Kidd, faced Kidd's defense, which was a three-pointer from outside the three-point line!

Seeing this shot made by Kobe on the court, the originally excited Lakers fans on the scene fell silent for a while.

The whole hustle and bustle of Staples, because of Kobe's malignant tumor to the extreme three points, were all quiet and unpretentious.

To be reasonable, such a malignant shot is normal for Kobe.

In which game did Kobe take more shots like this?

But it's different now!

It is now 0 to 2 behind!

Now is the first offense in the opening game!

Don't you just throw around without playing tactics like this, isn't it bad for the team's rhythm?

"It's over, this game Kobe started the cancer mode from the beginning. Kobe is not prepared to play tactics in this game, but must use his personal ability to solve the battle. This game is completely over for the Lakers!"

Seeing Kobe throwing at Kidd like this, many famous people on the sidelines sighed.

Bang!

The basketball that Kobe threw out came out!

Seeing this ball hit the iron, the sigh of the Lakers on the sidelines became even longer.

I thought this year's championship was in the Lakers' pocket, but I didn't expect it to be like this.

However, just when all the Lakers fans and celebrities sighed, O'Neal, who was scrambling for rebounds, flexed around the front to block Bartle behind him, and another crosshand blocked Chen Xiao who had come to grab the board. He jumped high and grabbed the offensive rebound. Facing Chen Xiao's help defense, O'Neal, who was originally in a favorable position under the basket, made a direct layup in an inside pass!

2 to 0!

The Los Angeles Lakers lead at home!

Seeing this offense by the Lakers, whether it was the audience on the spot, the audience in front of the TV, or the Nets coach Byron Scott on the sidelines, they were all stunned.

"Vote, vote for the flow?!"

The NBA, which is known as the strongest singles team in history, has actually played the most lacking tactical and technical content of shooting and grabbing? !

Is this contrast a bit huge?

No matter how shocked the audience and experts were at this time, after O'Neal took the lead for the Lakers with his shots and grabs, the Lakers actually took the initiative in the game!

"The team that controls the rebound can control the game!"

"Kidd is the Nets' strongest backboard player in protecting the backcourt, but after he was deliberately pulled outside by Kobe, the Nets' backcourt rebounds were not protected!"

Pago is agile. Protecting the backcourt rebounds is mainly due to the card position, and Chen Xiao, his backcourt rebound attribute is 60, and he has not even awakened even the rebounding card position.

In other words, he hasn't even studied the rebound position systematically!

The backboard combination of Bago and Chen Xiao is a death combination!

The combination of Pago and Kidd is much stronger than the combination of Pago and Chen Xiao in protecting the backcourt!

With the death combination of Bago and Chen Xiao in the backcourt, they were suddenly hit by two excellent rebounders, O'Neal and Braxon. It is conceivable how terrible the Nets' backboard rebounds were.

"Kobe's long-range cancer offense, Braxson and O'Neal's rebounding rebounds, all of this was done deliberately by Phil Jackson!"

"Kobe is not a cancer attack without tactics, Kobe is on the offense according to Phil Jackson's tactics!"

Less than four minutes into the first quarter, Byron Scott and the Nets requested a timeout.

Because at this time the score on the court is already 5 to 10!

The Nets are 5 points behind!

"This is Los Angeles!"

"but me!"

"It's the king here!"

After the Nets requested a timeout, O'Neal walked to the middle circle ~www.NovelMTL.com~ and walked to Chen Xiao's exit route to arrogantly. This super center, who was destroyed by Chen Xiao in the first two games, felt that he was really real. That's OK again!

Hahahahaha!

Brother Shark can play, right?

Wonder boy, this game, I see how you beat Brother Shark in the face!

Hahahahaha...

Phil, goodjob!

Seeing O'Neal such a show, Chen Xiao curiously let out a cry.

Yes, not bad.

On the contrary, Kobe behind O'Neill...

The king of Los Angeles?

Humph!
