You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 423 I swear to the death to defend Kobe's right to be angry
Wei Xia's right hand was raised high, and the Warriors, whose morale had fallen to the bottom, looked at that perhaps the world's most stupid gesture but could not utter a word of ridicule, because they were the one that lost.

It was precisely to celebrate his victory over them that Wei Xia made a high gesture of victory with his right hand.

121 is better than 98
The 23-point defeat allowed the Warriors to give up the match point to the Lakers.

1 is better than 3
They are 3 match points behind the Lakers, but few people believe that they can change the immediate crisis and create miracles again.

Because the Lakers are not the same as the Mavericks who were sent out by the next game, they are much tougher.

Phil Jackson watched the timer run out, the people around him jumped up and cheered, and he was the only one thinking.

He never forgot the conversation the Bass family had with him the night he took over the Lakers for the second time.

He heard clearly that the Lakers do not intend to build a championship team around Kobe, they hope to spend ten years looking for answers to the next era.

Before that, Kobe was just a ticket machine.

A while ago he came across Kobe Bryant's promise was very different.

The old Bass promised to Kobe that he would form a championship lineup around him, and he would be the top card and face of the Lakers for the next 10 years.

How cruel and cunning, how would Kobe react if he knew about it?
In the two years after 2005, the changes in the situation, the speed of the Lakers' progress, and Kobe's potential clearly exceeded the expectations of the Bass family.

They had to correct the plan, but where the future of the Lakers lies is still a question mark.

At least the Zen master can be sure that only Kobe and Wei Xia, a second-year player, have allowed them to steadily reach the semifinals in the Western Conference surrounded by tigers and wolves.

It seems to be just a loose team, and there is no shortage of high-quality role players.

It's just that there are too many impurities. To form a champion division, you must first expel those impurities, and then find ways to strengthen around the core combat power.

Two seasons have passed, and the Lakers haven't changed much.

Wei Xia was a surprise. If Jim Buss hadn't stepped on shit luck, what would be the current lineup of the Lakers?

How far can the Lakers play without Weixia under the leadership of Kobe?
There are too many problems to think about, and too many mistakes to reflect on.

Zen Master believes that the Lakers wasted two years. Their misjudgment and miscalculation killed Kobe's two-year peak period.

It is gratifying to reach the semifinals, but this is not a pleasant goal for the Lakers.

What makes Zen Master powerless is that this already very strong team, their final destination can only be the Western Conference Finals.

It is difficult for them to beat the winner between the Spurs and the Suns.

The difference in strength is there, whether you admit it or not, it doesn't change.

"Phil, you don't look happy." Tex Winter noticed some changes in Jackson's face.

Jackson asked him back: "If you know that the final winner is not you, no matter how hard you put in, you want to see others have the last laugh, will you still put in the same effort?"

"I probably won't. I'm too old and my energy is limited." Old Winter looked at the players, "But they will, they are young and have no limits, and they are so energetic that they fail eight times and ten times with hope."

Jackson hummed with a wry smile.

The last thing he wants is for a group of people who shouldn't fail to fail because of management mistakes.

It is acceptable to try your best to pursue your goals and fail.

What if Kobe found out that someone was standing in his way while he was giving it his all, and didn't even care about their grades at all?

After all, the market value of the Lakers is rising every day. Even if Kobe wasted ten years of youth, he is still the golden sign of the league.

The Lakers walked away proudly with their chests out.

On the same night, in a different theater, something unpleasant happened in the Spurs-Suns series.

Before the end of the game, Spurs forward Robert Horry showed his "big heart" when the game was over, and slammed the unsuspecting Steve Nash into the billboard on the sidelines with all his strength, causing the indignation of the Suns.

Several players led by Amare Stoudemire rushed into the field. Although the conflict did not happen, they violated the league's regulations.

According to regulations, players who should be on the bench due to conflicts on the court will be automatically suspended for the next game if they leave their seats.

With Nash's great 24 points and 15 assists, the Suns, who tied the series, were already ready to go home and clean up the Spurs.

This change is very likely to completely bury their season prospects.

Losing Stoudemire and Boris Diaw, are the Suns capable of beating the Spurs at home to get match points?

Capable, but the balance has tilted towards the Silver Black Legion.

Nash said after the game: "I understand that Horry is frustrated with the team's reversal, but that can't change the fact that he fouled maliciously. Under normal circumstances, when this kind of foul occurs, I should probably roll on the spot without exaggeration, but I don't think it is necessary at all. Everyone can see the damage I have suffered. I am really angry. I can't always be treated roughly by my opponent."

"Murderer" Horry himself stated that he is an old-school player and does not play sissy basketball.

The media asked him about the motive of the criminal Nash.

"I just want to play harder!"

Countless old fans who watched from the 80s regretted that they didn't know what kind of toughness was being shown by knocking a completely unwary person out of the field.

But we still have to admit that Horry is a real key man.

When there is no suspense, he can still create the prerequisites for the Spurs to win the series in this despicable way.

If the Suns lose the series in this way, it will have no less impact on them than being a tie-breaker.

The Lakers heard about what happened next door, and they haven't finished their business, so they don't have time to be distracted.

Go back to the home court first, train with peace of mind, and actively prepare for the fifth game of the semi-finals.

The Lakers' tyrannical Warriors in Game [-] have already created the conditions for winning, and the harvest in Game [-] is a matter of course.

Before the start of Game5, the league made the last MVP simulation.

No surprises, Dirk Nowitzki, Nash and Bryant are among the top three predicted.

However, Bryant and Nash's votes are very close, and Nowitzki's lead is not much.

This gap may change at any time.

Nash has the opportunity to win the MVP for three consecutive years, Nowitzki can keep the last pair of underwear, and Kobe hopes to win the first MVP trophy in his life.

2007/5/15

Matchday for Game [-] of the semi-finals.

Before the start of the game, the league announced the winners of the 2006-07 season MVP.

After arguing for half a month, the result has not changed.

Voters honored the MVP tradition by voting it for the best player on the best team in 82 regular-season games.

The German, who led the Mavericks to 67 wins, won it, but in a dangerous way.

Nowitzki.kobe.The gap in votes between Nash, less than 5%,

The league announced the results, and Kobe, who lost the MVP, gritted his teeth and looked ugly.

The Warriors in the fifth game had no fighting spirit. Seeing Kobe's viciousness, they had a premonition that something bad was about to happen.

How would Kobe vent his anger against a non-resistance team?

What he did was unexpected.

Passing the ball - running position - fighting for dunks, only dunks can vent anger.

It's a pity that the NBA's game basket has already been strengthened, and there is no one who can smash the backboard.Otherwise, Kobe can really try today.

The Warriors gave a lot of dunk opportunities. Kobe dunked if he could, and passed if he couldn't. What he pursued was not the high score the fans imagined, but a variety of dunks.

The Warriors have not changed much from the previous games, with more offensive points, but the collective fell to the freezing point, and the practice of taking the ball and shooting has evolved into everyone hitting the iron.

Tonight, the Warriors made 80 of 28 shots, a horrible shooting percentage.

He made 24 of 5 three-pointers and created countless long rebounds, but the Lakers didn't make much of it.

A large number of rebounds were produced, allowing the Lakers team to double-double with 4 rebounds.

Odom caught 15, followed by Kobe with 14, Wecha not far behind took 12, and Bynum also took 10.

The Warriors, who felt extremely bad, sent themselves away with a low score of 87 points.

The Lakers didn't play well, scoring only 100 points. According to the Warriors' three-point shooting percentage, their counterattack scores were ridiculously low, and their state was really not good.

It's just that they controlled the situation against the backdrop of their opponents.

Stay ahead until the end.

4 is better than 1
In only five games, the Lakers eliminated the Warriors who completed the Black Eight, and returned to the conference finals after three years.

The reporters deliberately asked Kobe about the loss of the MVP.

Kobe kept the greatest restraint: "I respect their choice."

On the other side, Wei Xia replied: "I will defend to the death Kobe's right to be angry."
