Chapter 327 The Battle of Tianwang Mountain, crazy LA fans!
"What we fight is a piece of shit!!"
"What are you bastards doing? You have no fighting spirit and just wait to die. You are always waiting for me to wipe your butts!"
After the game, Kobe's roar came from the away locker room.
Kobe hated losing, especially such an embarrassing loss.
However, Kobe was not simply venting. After blaming his teammates, Kobe paused for a few seconds and then changed his tone:
"Listen guys, this series has just begun and we're not going to stop here! Let's forget about this loss, forget about the total score! I need you to be more aggressive, got it?"
Today's Kobe is no longer the young boy who was like O'Neal who fought for power and only focused on personal data. After years of training, he has become a mature leader.
Kobe will not blame his teammates blindly, which will not help the team in the next game. His purpose is to wake up his teammates and bring the team together.
Kobe's words also made everyone in the Lakers wake up from a dream.
The most frightening thing is that once Kobe's anger is ignited, the entire team becomes more energetic.
In G4 two days later, everyone on the Lakers will be on guard!
James Posey hit two three-pointers at the beginning. Kwame Brown, who was previously criticized by fans as an 'undercover', also scored 10 points and 7 rebounds in the three quarters. After his comeback, Ariza was in worse shape every game.
There were also outstanding performances on both offense and defense.
The Lakers bench, which had almost no effect in the last game, exploded collectively in this game!
They suppressed the Suns bench lineup 23-14 in three quarters!
The Lakers played the most united and comprehensive game in this series, and everyone was able to operate with ease in Phil Jackson's triangle offensive system.
Various passes and coordination are dizzying!
However, the Suns continued their outside firepower from the previous game, and the scores between the two teams remained tight.
The Suns wanted to keep their home court advantage, and the Lakers wanted to regain their home court advantage. The two teams remained in a stalemate until the last minute and a half of the final quarter.
The score on the court was 94 to 93.
The Lakers temporarily took the lead and had the offensive ball.
The competition has reached its most intense stage!
"Defense!!!"
"Defense!!!"
"Defense!!!"
The home fans roared loudly!
No fan wants to see the team they support lose at home, especially in a game like the Western Conference Finals!
As soon as Kobe received the ball from the outside, Laga Bell and Chen Yan stepped on it together!
The Suns cannot allow a killer like Kobe to take action easily at critical moments.
Ragnarok Bale and Chen Yan made big moves, but the referee usually won't call them at such moments.
NBA referees like to let the players resolve the battle themselves at the last minute, unless the foul is too obvious.
Before Kobe lost his balance, he jumped up and passed the ball to Troy Hudson outside the three-point line.
In order to prevent Chen Yan from naming Fisher endlessly, Lakers coach Phil Jackson kept Fisher on the bench for almost the entire second half.
‘Zen Master’ This is also a helpless move. In these two games, Chen Yan’s roll call almost made Fisher almost unable to take care of himself.
But Troy Hudson obviously doesn't have Fisher's shooting stability.
"Clang!"
Troy Hudson hits the ground running!
The Suns seized the opportunity and quickly launched a counterattack!
Chen Yan took the lead and relied on Kobe Bryant and James Posey in the fast break!
However, he did not choose to take the shot himself. Instead, he twisted his body after staying in the air and found Nash outside the three-point line.
Nash didn't adjust after catching the ball, leaned slightly forward, and shot directly from outside the three-point line!
"Whoa!"
94 to 96!
The go-ahead goal!
The whole audience was excited, and Chen Yan and Nash bumped their chests excitedly!
"What a shot! Nash's three-point shot was very decisive!"
"Chen Yan's point ball found the open Nash, and with this three-pointer, the Suns regained control of the game!"
In the cctv5 studio, the two commentators, Director Xu and Director Zhang, were very excited.
‘Zen Master’ called a timeout.
After the timeout, the Lakers took the ball in the frontcourt.
At this time, everyone's eyes were fixed on Kobe.
Everyone knew that Kobe would take key shots, and the Suns directly challenged him to the highest level.
Kobe kept running back and stepped on the three-point line to catch the ball!
The ball is double-teamed!
However, Kobe did not choose to pass the ball in this round.
The moment he caught the ball, he took a step toward the baseline.
Then he raised his hand and lit Laga Bell!
When he was about to raise his hand again, Chen Yan rushed forward!
Kobe chose to feint again!
However, this time he was unable to ignite Chen Yan.
After landing, Laga Bell also immediately covered him up.
Double-teamed, and the ball was still dead. If it were another player, he would have to pass the ball.
But Kobe chose the most difficult hard shot!
Facing two defensive players, Kobe leaned back with great difficulty and pushed the ball away from the extreme angle!
"Whoa!"
96 to 96.
After the ball was scored, Kobe frantically pulled at his jersey.
This is one of his most signature celebrations!
Chen Yan and Laga Bell looked at each other without saying anything. They understood that the opponent had defended the ball very well, but Kobe's shot was too unreasonable.
The sound of the American West Arena was also reduced a lot because of this limit.
D'Antoni also quickly called a timeout. At this point in the game, it is normal to have one timeout per round.
After the timeout, both sides ended up in a fight.
The huge pressure and physical exertion caused problems with the shooting percentages of both sides.
In the last 2.1 seconds, the score was still 96-96.
Lakers ball rights.
‘Zen Master’ called the last timeout of the game.
In addition to the tactical arrangement, Phil Jackson also replaced Fisher. On the offensive end, he does not have to worry about Fisher being called out by Chen Yan.
The Lakers kick off in the frontcourt!
Garnett prepares to look for Kobe on the sideline.
After Kobe circled the baseline, he quickly ran back to prepare for the ball. Laga Bell was chasing after him, and Nash was also involved.
Just when the serve was about to be violated, Garnett flicked the ball and passed it directly to Fisher on the baseline!
Fisher caught the ball, took a step forward, turned around and shot from outside the three-point line!
When everyone's attention was on Kobe, Fisher, the man of the big scene, stood up.
"Whoa!"
"beep!"
The buzzer blows and the ball goes in!
2.1 seconds to kill!
Fisher proved with actions that there is a price to pay for forgetting Mr. Key!
After the ball was scored, Fisher roared with excitement and rushed to the Lakers bench.
He was very depressed when he was called out in the first three games. At this moment, Laoyu finally proved his worth!
The Lakers players hugged each other tightly!
Kobe's anger became the engine of the team, and tonight they regained their home court advantage!
When interviewed after the game, Chen Yan simply said in an understatement: "It's nothing. It's not a big deal for us. We won't lose confidence just because of a defeat or a kill."
Chen Yan was very upset about losing this game and he didn't want to talk too much about it.
The moment he lost the game, Chen Yan set his sights on g5, which was the battle of Tianwang Mountain two days later!
...
...
May 25, outside Staples Arena.
There are still 2 hours before the Battle of Tianwangshan begins, and the place is already bustling with fans of all kinds.
Local reporters in Los Angeles also randomly selected some fans for interviews.
"Come on! Tell us who can win the game tonight." The reporter held up the microphone.
"Lakers!!"
"go! Los Angeles! go!"
"The sun won't rise because it's fucking night now!"
"They will do nothing here today!"
"They shouldn't come to LA. This way they can save money on a plane ticket. The result is the same anyway!"
The fans in Los Angeles were crazy, and each one took turns grabbing the microphone to answer.
"Who do you think can score higher tonight, Kobe or Chen?" the reporter continued to ask, holding up the microphone.
"Kobe! Chen is a xx!"
"Kobe will beat Chen up, just like I beat my son!"
"Kobe will blow Chen up to nothing!"
"So do you think Chen Qiang?"
The reporter’s question directly ignited the surrounding fans!
"No!!!!" the surrounding fans collectively shouted.
"Chen is a clown!"
"Chen's touch tonight will be as cold as my asshole!"
"Male Fake! Chen!"
"Chen!! I am your father, I am your father!"
The fans gradually lost control and began to abuse this "Public Enemy of Los Angeles" regardless of his image!
In the end, all kinds of curses turned into unified slogans.
“Fak Chen!!!”
“Fak Chen!!!”
“Fak Chen!!!”
“Fak Chen!!!”
Before the Tianwangshan matchup even started, fans in Los Angeles started to get organized outside the arena.
