Basketball starts with breathing

Chapter 242 Unfortunately, this is an illusion [Second update, please subscribe]

Just like the first two games of the Eastern Conference Finals, the Bulls in G3 quickly ended the game.

On May 5, the Bulls defeated the Nets 26-102 at home. The Nets tried to make Kidd reduce their offense and mobilize teammates, but the effect was not good, and they were crushed by the Bulls all the way.

The big score is 3-0, and no team in history has been able to come back with a 3-0 score in the playoffs.

Not to mention 3-0, even 3-1, no team can make a comeback.

The only team that came back from a 1:3 deficit was Cleveland in Lu Yu's previous life in 2016.

Everyone thinks that the Bulls have entered the finals with one foot, and the whole Chicago is crazy. Since Jordan retired, let alone the finals, the Bulls have not even entered the playoffs.

Every year is the countdown to the East, and sometimes the league counts down.

This year, it entered the finals, and the entire lineup has not been upgraded and adjusted much. The only change is that at the beginning of the season, the Bulls traded from the Clippers to Lu Yu.

Don't say it, the Clippers are already crying and fainting in the toilet.

Not to mention that small broken boats always capsize.

The general manager of the Bulls, Krause, is already worrying about the wages of these players next season. As the Bulls enter the finals, whether they win the championship or not, it is inevitable for players whose contracts have expired to increase their wages.

You don't go up, there are a lot of teams out there who want it.

Everyone can see that the Bulls players have undergone qualitative changes in this team, and some even heard that the Bulls have always been training a lot, a little Pat Riley is still in the Miami Heat What it means to be a head coach.

There are even teams that are ready to start poaching Cartwright, because Cartwright is on a temporary basis and only signed a one-year contract with the Bulls.

If it weren't for the critical moment of the Eastern Conference Finals, Krause was ready to smash the contract on Cartwright's face.

And Klaus has already predicted that Marcus Fetzel will most likely choose to opt out of the contract next year. Next year will be the last year of Fetzer's contract. If Fetzer jumps out of the contract, he might as well take advantage of the middle of next season. Find a way to trade him.

Of course that's all for next season.

But it doesn't prevent early planning. Who knows if there will be big fish in the off-season free market.

For the budget-conscious Klaus, there is no so-called loyalty. As long as there is value, it is his bargaining chip. Of course, at present, Lu Yu is not for sale.

Two years later, Lu Yu will sign a maximum salary contract, and the team's salary space will be tight. That is to say, these two seasons are the team's championship window period. Match Lu Yu with suitable teammates, so trading is inevitable.

If you win the championship this year, you will be lucky.

If you can't win the championship this year, then you must prepare in advance for next year, and the trade will be traded. Just as you can configure it, you will have to work hard, and the entire league will have enough salary space for the Bulls.

On May 5, the G27 game between the Lakers and the Kings started.

It was a match destined to go down in history.

At this point in the series, the pressure of the game has come to the Lakers. If they lose, they will fall behind by 1:3, their hopes of three consecutive championships are almost dashed, and if they win, they will be 2:2.

3-1, so far no team has been able to make a comeback at 3-1.

So even if they fight for their lives, the Lakers have to do it 2 to 2.
But it seems that the king who found the Lakers' life gate is playing well. In the first quarter, he beat the Lakers 40:20, leading by 20 points. The Lakers team seemed to smell the taste of defeat.

"How do you say this?" Fisher's eyes flashed with despair.

Kobe was silent.

O'Neal lowered his head.

Zen master Phil Jackson was also very speechless. The idea he gave to Cartwright of the Bulls made the Nets beat the crap out of the net. When he came to his side, the tactics he thought were not easy to use. You said it was irritating.

There is no way, the Lakers are trying to break through everything, O'Neal is easy to use, so they dig hard, O'Neal can't dig it now, and Kobe is also hoping, what can he do.

Now Lakers fans are even starting to miss Divac.

If they hadn't traded Divac... nonsense, wouldn't have traded Divac, would the Lakers be able to win two consecutive championships?

To be honest, as far as the king's play style is concerned, other teams in the league have seen the way to crack the Lakers. The outside line is strictly guarded to guard Kobe, and the inside line is as much as possible to interfere with O'Neal. As for the others, go to him.

Kind of like the Bulls' tactical turn against the Nets.

This is to stare at the two arrow characters. In fact, other teams did this before, but they couldn't help it.

But why the Kings can play, because other teams don't have a scalpel Christie, one inside can't stand O'Neal, so they can play together, but which team has two insiders like Webber and Divac.

Don't say it, there really is!

Who is it?

Spurs!

The Spurs have Bowen on the outside and Duncan and David Robinson on the inside.

But this year's Spurs lost to the Lakers. They lost quite badly, 4-1. What's the reason for the loss?

Lu Yu felt that the reason for the loss was that the Kings still had Peja, but the Spurs didn't. The Spurs didn't have a tough player to score when the offense was not going well.

But such a player is coming -- Bald is coming to the NBA this year.

Speaking of the game between the Lakers and the Kings, at the beginning of the second quarter with Christie's three-pointer, the Kings led by 24 points. The thick clouds of defeat loomed on the faces of the Lakers. Maybe they also felt that the score was about to reach 3:1. , the Lakers dynasty is in jeopardy.

The Lakers' offense is all about the triangle, and everyone knows how they play.

They all know that their triangle tactics are actually the OK combination. If they want to make a comeback, only the OK combination will stand up.

At this time, OK stood up, Kobe scored 13 points in this section, O'Neal scored 6 points, 5 rebounds and 2 blocks, the Lakers recovered some points, and the Kings led 65:51 at the end of the first half.

I mentioned a premise before, what does the league want?
I hope that the Western Conference finals will be played in seven games. If the Lakers lose this game, how will they play in seven games?
In the third quarter, the two teams hardened their defense. The real scene was that it was extremely difficult to make shots. Under such a high defensive intensity, the Kings would suddenly not be able to play. Adelman has never been a well-known defensive coach. He emphasized the balance of offense and defense. Recovering the feeling, coupled with high-intensity defense, the Kings struggled.

Of course, the referee's credit is indispensable.

The Kings just felt a little bit, the referee interrupted the game with a whistle, and the feeling was gone.

It's like a couple playing games. When the wife just came, the husband was afraid that he couldn't help it. He snapped and stopped, and he said whether he hated it or not.

At this time, the king chose to rely on offense to make up for the lack of defense, but in the third quarter, the king's engine Bibby was completely strangled by Kobe, and the king seemed to have lost his soul.

On the importance of gasoline-electric hybrid vehicles, oil and electricity can be used, you are like the Kings, are you done with two engines?

Or like the Lakers, if you want a fart engine, you can rely on O'Neal to chisel it. Fisher's engine is purely dribbling the ball through half court, and it's over as soon as the ball is handed over.

So the Kings are still careless.

They underestimated Phil Jackson's cunning and underestimated Kobe's defensive strength.

In this quarter, the Kings made 18 of 6 shots, the Lakers made 20 of 9 shots, and the Lakers recovered 22 points at 15:7 in the third quarter. the rhythm of the festival.

Those who have mastered the rhythm are more able to control the "potential" on the field, and maybe the result will require some luck.

In the last quarter, with more than 1 minute left, the Kings were still ahead by 6 points.

Logically speaking, for this reason, as long as you don't recite a lot, you will win the basic game, but it backfires...

With Horry's three-pointer and Kobe's mid-range shot, the Lakers fell behind 95:98.

After O'Neal made 2 free throws, Divac made one of 2 free throws, the Lakers 97:99, the Lakers had the opportunity to make the last attack, and the lore moment officially arrived!
O'Neal once said that although I missed a lot of free throws, I was very accurate at critical moments.

Saying this is purely to pretend after the game, in the words of Lu Yu's hometown-close the door and hang it, it's a coincidence.

2 points behind, 3 points or 2 points, this ball must be handled by Kobe Bryant, as for Kobe, Horry, Fisher or like Kobe assists O'Neal to knock out the Trail Blazers, the Kings seem to be fully prepared.

Bryant shook Christie off with a fake move after catching the ball. When he dribbled the ball straight to the basket, Divac, who was quick to defend, jumped up and blocked the shot.

In order to avoid aerial interception, Kobe chose a difficult high throw. The ball hit the edge of the basket and popped out. At this time, many Lakers fans should have been cold.

But O'Neal on the other side grabbed the offensive rebound for the second attack.

The hearts of Lakers fans flew to the sky again, but they were still greeted by the icy sound of iron strikes, O'Neal still failed to get to the basket, and many fans had given up at this time.

With time running out, Divac made the smart choice to hit the perimeter when he couldn't get the rebound.

At that time, the fans of the Kings were already cheering, and the score was 3:1, and the elimination of the defending champion was close at hand.

When Lu Yu saw this pouting, it really was the same plot, the same taste.

After the game, Horry, a big man who was born for big scenes, recalled: "You can't imagine that kind of scene, when the ball flies over, so many people are sitting there staring at the timer, and you have to shoot. That ball."

As Horry recalled afterwards, he was unprepared at that moment, Divac dialed the ball to the outside and suddenly hit him.

Horry had no choice at this point, and he threw the ball from beyond the arc without hesitation.

"If I don't make a shot, we lose; otherwise, it's another scenario." Hawley's "lose" is just a game, but considering the problem of aura conversion, it may be a loss of one season.

The so-called ice and fire double heaven is exactly the same.

Win, the Lakers won the game!
Horry made a three-pointer to kill the King and complete one of the greatest lore in the history of the playoffs. Such an opportunity may be rare in a lifetime.

这记绝杀在09年被评为21世纪季后赛最佳投篮得三分，将3：1的比分在不到1秒钟的时间内改为2：2。

The fans who witnessed the miracle are lucky, they have witnessed such twists and turns and greatness.

Maybe the King's fans are unwilling, but now that I think about it, if there is no such lore, Donaghy said the chance to make the game go to 7 games does not exist.

After the game, Horry and Divac had a fight. Divac said it was a ball of luck and happened to be met by him. Horry said: I have scored many kinds of such balls in my career.In any case, the winner is to have a bigger say.

In fact, Horry does score a lot of those goals.

本场比赛鲨鱼27+18+3，科比25+4+2，霍里18+14+5，其中11分来自第四节；国王迪瓦茨23+7，毕比20分，韦伯20+6+5，特科格鲁18+12。

After watching the game, Lu Yu threw the remote control on the sofa and asked Artest next to him: "If we eliminate the Nets 4-0 and the Lakers and Kings play seven games, how many days can we rest?"

Artest stretched his fingers and counted: "Five...six...seven...eight...nine?"

Lu Yu: "..."

Forget it, why do you think of asking him?

Americans are not good at math, not to mention that Silly Tai is one of the Americans with a low IQ.

Nets star Kidd said in an interview: "I believe we will be able to fight back. No team in history can come back 3-0. I think we can make history."

Unfortunately, this is an illusion.
