the rest, only noise

Chapter 1360 Magician

For the Celtics, Game 3 should be a game that cannot back down, because they are already 0-2 behind, and if they lose another game, they will face a 0-3 deadlock.

Throughout the ages, there has never been a thing that makes three chase four. For a thing with only a 1% probability, you can say it is a miracle, but if it is unprecedented, in the face of a 0% probability, you can only rely on miracles to achieve it.

"We were beaten," Sampson told the media. "It's just that the skills are not as good as people. I have nothing to say."

It's no wonder Mr. One is depressed, they lost worse at home than away.

If we can get back a game tonight, it will boost the morale of the whole team, but if we lose, it will be beyond redemption.

Chuck Daly is more calm than the players. Judging from the content of the game, the Lakers belong to a higher-level team, and they have little chance of winning.

Some media people in Boston were not reconciled. They asked: "Why can we still be on par with Los Angeles in the regular season, but we have no resistance at all in the finals?"

Daly said helplessly: "Because the finals are different from the regular season."

How is it different?

Before the reporter asked, Daly said: "We usually don't use our full strength in the regular season, so every team has reservations, but the Lakers have more reservations."

Daly believes that the Boston media, spoiled by the Celtics, will definitely interpret his words as shirking responsibility tomorrow.

Fortunately, he doesn't care what others say.

On the Lakers side, everyone's faces were red.

Magic Johnson, who was named the best in the audience by NBC, entertained the media with a friendly smile.

He was accompanied by Louie and Wilson.

"Erwin, this is Bianca Jones from The New York Times, may I ask..."

Before Jones could ask his first question, Louie interrupted him.

"Excuse me, Bianca, can you call Erwin 'Maggie'?"

Jones froze for a moment, and instantly understood what Louis meant.

"Of course." Jones asked with a smile, "Maggie, how does it feel to be named the best player in the finals again after six years?"

The magician gave Louis a deep look.

The man who led two dynastic teams and single-handedly turned him from a magician to a tragic man has now turned him into a magician.

This is what he promised at the beginning, and he has done what he said.

The magician said with a lot of emotion: "Yeah, I didn't expect it to be so long. It feels like being the best player in the game? To be honest, I don't have much feeling. Winning is the most important thing, especially getting a 3-0 lead in the finals, which is more important to me."

The magician takes the "it's important to me" bite hard.

"Compared to being the helm of the Showtime Lakers, how is the role of this new Lakers team different?"

Speaking of which, the tragedian's mood rises several notches, probably to the same degree as Kate Winslet's dedication to art from "Titanic" to "The Reader."

"I like my current role very much. Of course, I don't mean that I don't like my past role. I mean, today, at my age, I am very honored to be able to play for such a team." Magic said excitedly, "I am not the main force of the team, the leader of the team, the mentor of the team, or even the top three players in the team. But this is undoubtedly one of the best teams I have played in my career. The reason why you can come here."

The media can see that Magician's love for the current Lakers is beyond words, without any hypocrisy.

Subsequently, the reporter's question turned to Benjamin Wilson.

The Magician's best game overshadowed Wilson's overall performance of 40 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists.

Asked how it felt to be about to break the spell, Wilson said humbly: "We have one more game to play."

Benj's humility apparently didn't bother his coach, though.

When the complacent coach Lu was asked how he felt about leading the Celtics 3-0, his answer became the headline of the major media the next day.

"It feels great to win an eighth championship."

crazy?Another person in Louis' position would only be crazier than him.

Louis felt a little regretful, he didn’t just say that for madness, he also meant to pay tribute to McGrady, but McGrady hasn’t entered the league yet, no one knows what kind of big job he will do in the future, and there is no way to talk about paying tribute⑴.

On the other hand, Kobe has also been sought after by the media.

Tonight, he can be described as a surprise player. He made a lot of contributions after playing. He participated in the "beautiful basketball" all the way. With the support of the magician and the help of others, he scored 14 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists.

Interestingly, in the second half of the third quarter, the game tended to be reduced to garbage time. Kobe showed his true colors when he returned to the court again, and several singles made people frown.

This is what Liu Yuqing said, he can wave.

But such a wave is acceptable to the coaching staff.

Louis also doesn't want the players to play consistently throughout the whole process. When the advantage is established, the wave should be waved. If you can't afford to face when you play a big advantage, can you be worthy of your own advantage?

Bryant was asked by reporters how he felt about his performance as the second-youngest player in the league and the youngest player ever to play in the Finals.

The team behind Bryant has taught him how to deal with this kind of PR questions.

"My performance is not worth mentioning. The most important thing is that we won. I only value this. I am the youngest player in the team. Everyone is my teacher. I just play under their leadership."

In Daben's words, Kobe is too good at pretending.

However, this is a characteristic of the new generation of stars, that is, learn to pack themselves early.

There are mainly commercial considerations behind this, and people like Magician, Dr. J, and Jordan laid the foundation for this.

Interestingly, most of these up-and-comers who have created a perfect image for themselves will bankrupt the image for some reason.

Ke Zhiying County, Wang’s decision, and Xiao Du’s path are all different. These people with bankrupt images are basically cynical and bitter and bitter in their later careers. Kobe’s marketing has become half angel and half devil.

What good does such an image do for players?

Just look at the reviews of these three people in the media.

Louis did not return to the hotel with the team bus that night.

He wanted to go to a Chinese restaurant near the Fleet Center for supper.

Originally, he wanted to invite Bird to join him, but this guy said in a weird way that he wanted to lose weight and not eat supper.

Louie felt the bastard mocking him.

However, he didn't eat supper because he couldn't control his mouth, he just wanted to recall the days and nights of hard work in Boston, and supper was just an auxiliary tool.

How could a birdman like this who had broken all ties with the Celts understand his nostalgic thoughts?

Louis took a taxi to a Chinese restaurant that was both familiar and unfamiliar.

The store was there 19 years ago, and although it still maintains a similar decor, the original owner passed away a few years ago, and the restaurant is now run by his children.

"Have fried noodles, fried Kung Pao chicken, and a bottle of Coca-Cola at the end."

Just as Louis was about to sit down, the waiter asked, "Guest, would you like Pepsi or Coca-Cola?"

Louis looked at him delicately: "There is only one kind of cola in the world, and that is Coca-Cola."

⑴ McGrady's widely circulated "I'm already thinking about my opponent in the next round" was once clarified as "McGrady's original words were 'If it was last year, I was already thinking about my opponent in the next round.'" In fact, McGrady's original words were "It feels good to get in the second round."

I feel like this is way too crazy.
