After returning from Staples Center, Lin Ying's words echoed in Lin Ying's ears for a long time.

Basketball is a sport for five people, which is something Mother Rong doubts.

But when there is a big gap in strength between the two sides, only personal performance can narrow the gap.

We ask ourselves, did he play well enough in these two games in the finals?

27 points, 11 rebounds and 14 assists in one game, 44 points in one game. If it were any other player, this would indeed be outstanding enough.

Even Lin Ying himself felt that he had done what he could.

But to beat this Lakers, it's really not enough.

This Lakers team has reached its peak both in terms of strength and tacit understanding, and they don't even have injuries yet.

And the next game is also a life and death battle for the Nets, trailing 0 to 3? Unless the Lakers are injured, there is a high probability that the Nets will be swept.

…

James mansion.

James smoked a cigar, listened to hiphop, hummed and swayed along, feeling that he had reached the pinnacle of his life.

Lin Ying has ruled the alliance for so many years, and it's time for him to be buried in the sand.

As for Durant, he didn't even notice it.

Everything now is going according to what he wants most.

At this time, a very suitable lyric came from the speaker, and he put down his cigar and sang loudly:

"A great new era is coming, and it will shock the world!"

Just then, Rich Paul knocked on the door and came in.

He reached out to turn off the music, then turned around and gave his good brother a big hug.

He can make a comeback with the Lakers and have the current situation, and Rich Paul has made the greatest contribution.

If it weren't for him, he wouldn't have the chance to team up with Davis, and all this would be out of the question.

The two sat down and chatted happily for a while.

But at this time, a question raised by Paul Rich made James think.

"You have to be more selfish in the next games, because only then can you get this FMVP, which is indispensable for you to increase your influence."

The champion is the crown, and fmvp is a priceless gem. Only when it is embedded in the crown can the crown become dazzling.

In the current situation, the data of James and Davis are comparable, and even Davis has a slight advantage.

If the media really gives FMVP to Davis in the end, then it will obviously not be James' era, but Davis's era.

You must know that Davis is the absolute darling of the American media.

And one thing that absolutely cannot be ignored is age.

James is 35 years old, but Davis is only 26!

If you need to promote a native American to become the new No. 1 player in the league, there is absolutely nothing wrong with choosing the younger Davis.

So James can't let that happen, because if it happens, even if the Lakers succeed, he will have to take a back seat.

This is completely unacceptable to him, because then his commercial value will drop off a cliff.

For Kobe, power represents basketball prowess, but for him, power is money.

"Actually, it's very simple. You just need to take more shots, or if possible, just use more garbage time as before to get some points. There is no need to really have a conflict with AD."

Rich Paul continued.

James nodded after hearing this.

He also wants Davis to help him with his work, so if there is a falling out, there will definitely be no falling out.

Then let him wear this crown inlaid with gems and start an era that truly belongs to him!

…

After returning to Brooklyn, the Nets players noticed a detail. Lin Ying was very aggressive in training.

In the past training, Lin Ying would consider the face of his teammates and would not dunk some balls that could be put up.

But this time after returning to Brooklyn, everything was reversed. He could dunk the ball but never lay it up.

Several members of the Nets suffered ruthless dunks from him.

And not only that, Lin Ying would even trash talk his teammates after dunking.

These anomalies made the atmosphere of the Nets' training games suddenly change from relaxed to serious.

But no one complained, because they knew that they were now 0-2 behind, and Lin Ying's actions were more like a spur to others.

If they don't try their best, then only failure awaits them.

After the training, Lu also poured a large bowl of chicken soup for the team members while the iron was hot.

"...This is our last game. We must defend our home court. We have no retreat."

Lu's chicken soup also worked very well, and the team members were eager to try it.

"You are the only one we can rely on."

When the team members dispersed, Lu went to Lin Ying's side and patted his elbow meaningfully.

He was originally thinking about how to cut into the chicken soup, but Lin Ying helped him today, and he could also feel Lin Ying's firm belief in the game from it.

If there is a miracle, then this is the necessary condition for the miracle to occur.

Lin Ying nodded, then reached out and patted Lu on the shoulder:

"Relax, I'll take care of everything."

…

The highly anticipated G3 finals kicked off in Brooklyn.

In the TNT commentary box, the four giants gathered to commentate on this game.

Barkley's face doesn't look good. As the number one player, the Nets are in a very bad situation now.

The game hasn't even started yet, and they are constantly analyzing the situation of the two teams.

The promotion probability will inevitably be mentioned, and then there is the issue of player performance.

"Even if the Nets lose the finals, Lin will get a FMVP vote from me."

When talking about player performance, Barkley was the first to express his opinion.

This sounds a bit mindless, but the other three people just thought about it and did not refute him.

Although it is now assumed that losing the MVP like Jerry West will never happen again, Lin Ying's performance so far is indeed at MVP level.

Of course, the other three people are still rational. O'Neal thinks James should get this FMVP, while McGrady and Kenny Smith support Davis.

It can also be seen from the situation in the commentary box that Davis has performed well this year and still has a very good chance.

They chatted for about the same amount of time, and players from both sides also appeared on the stage one after another.

Both sides still use the regular lineup, the Nets: Caruso, Crabbe, Tucker, Lin Ying, Jokic;

Lakers: Paul, JR, James, Davis, Cousins.

Jokic beat Cousins ​​in the jump, officially kicking off the game.

The Nets started the game with Jokic's support from the top of the arc. Lin Ying continued to run back and then cut into the basket, receiving Jokic's pass and flying for a layup.

Davis quickly helped defend under the basket. Lin Ying dodged in the air and drifted under the basket, then scored with a difficult backhand pull.

This goal instantly caused a burst of cheers from the audience.

Barkley couldn't help but cheer in the commentary box.

Lin Ying's opening state sent a very positive signal!

In the Lakers' offense, Davis leaned directly against Tucker in the low post to ask for the ball, and after receiving the ball, he turned and shot a hook directly to the baseline.

His movements are smooth and decisive enough.

"Whoa!"

Along with a crisp sound of hitting the net, the basketball also fell steadily into the bag.

Davis's specialty is mobile offense, and this kind of low-post singles is not his strong point.

But he can score steadily in this way, and his state in the finals is indeed very good.

The Nets' frontcourt position is still the same, and Lin Ying continues to catch the ball without the ball.

But this time he was flanked immediately after receiving the ball. He quickly passed the ball to Crabbe on the weak side, and Crabbe took the ball and shot a three-pointer.

The rhythm of this ball is very good. After the ball drew a beautiful parabola in the air, it hit the edge of the basket with a "dang" sound.

Bad luck with this ball!
