NBA peak

Chapter 751 Advance to the Western Conference Finals
He began not to regard winning or losing the game as the most important goal in life.

He realized that if he wanted to truly pursue victory, he had to learn to understand his opponent and face his opponent squarely in his heart. Only in this way could he find a better way to defeat his opponent.

Therefore, at the end of Kobe's career, he never underestimated any opponent.

In the past, Kobe always thought about how to beat his opponents, but in the tacit understanding of his career, Kobe has rarely mentioned this idea.

He began to accept that there were more and better rookies in the league, and realized that he even needed to learn from these young players.

He is no longer arrogant, put away his arrogance, and there is only a maturity beyond his age between his brows.

And it is this kind of Kobe that makes fans and the media all over the world remember such a character.

Perhaps, Kobe's career is not the most capable of all NBA players, but his legendary color is indeed unmatched by any superstar.

The reason why fans love Kobe so much is that no matter how many championship rings Kobe has, he is a big boy next door full of minor problems.

When you get along with him, you may often fight, but he must be the person who gets along with you and makes you the most comfortable.

Kobe's words at the press conference ushered in many voices of support for the Lakers.

The fifth game between the Lakers and the Jazz will soon be held at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

Back to their home court, the Lakers players breathed a sigh of relief.

Hearing the support of his fans, Harrell, who has the most straightforward personality, exclaimed excitedly: "It's still cool to be home at home! I don't have to listen to the sound of those flies buzzing in my ears anymore."

The flies Harrell mentioned naturally refer to Jazz fans.

Harrell, who has been playing the sixth man in the NBA, has long developed a special function: when he is playing, if he does not want to listen to the voices of the fans, he will imagine the fans as flies, and he will not stop talking about a word.

Ge Feng smiled: "Old Ha, you can't scold the fans like that. After all, no matter which team the fans support, they have made a lot of contributions to the NBA."

Harrell waved his hand, very disapproving of Ge Feng's thoughts.

"What kind of food and clothing parents, whose parents scold their children every day?!"

When Harrell said this, his expression was very sad and indignant.

It seems that when he was in the Clippers, he was not less angry with the fans.

Ge Feng smiled helplessly, but didn't persuade him much.

Ge Feng has his own ideas, and Harrell also has his own ideas. Ge Feng doesn't want to force his ideas to be accepted by others, because it will hurt feelings.

"Alright, alright, let's talk about the game. What do you think of the Jazz's performance in Game [-]?" Ge Feng brought the topic back to the game.

The team members chattered about their opinions.

This is the pre-game preparation that the Lakers have always liked to do. Everyone will always gather together to summarize their views on the last game.

"Jazz players, it is impossible for every game to be as passionate as the fourth game." Schroeder said.

Gasol Jr. said: "Gobert has played too hard in the past few games and fell down many times. I can feel that there are some problems with his body, because when I played against him at the end of the last game, I obviously felt that his strength is not as good as before."

"Is Gobert injured? The media hasn't reported this incident..." Harrell continued.

"Whether Gobert is injured or not, he is a headache. Gobert didn't rely on his physical fitness to make a living. His defensive awareness and long arms, even if he is physically injured, can bring great trouble to our offense." Davis said sharply.

On the day of the game, when the starters of the two sides came to the field one after another, the Lakers unexpectedly discovered that they had mentioned before that the possible injury of Gobert actually happened.

Gobert did not appear in the Jazz's starting lineup, but Gobert still came with the team.

Moreover, looking at Gobert's outfit, he didn't look injured at all.

The jersey is also worn on the body. Gobert does not seem to have any injuries, but according to the arrangement of the head coach, he did not appear in the starting position.

Why Gobert didn't appear in the starting job is the part that the Lakers have been speculating on.

However, although the Jazz stole a victory in the last game, Lakers fans did not have much worry.

As Schroeder said, it is impossible for the Jazz to play a fourth game every game, with the determination to fight back.

For the Lakers, promotion is only a matter of time, it just depends on how tortuous the process is.

The mental outlook of both teams looks very good.

"I have full confidence in the Jazz. I believe that the players will definitely be able to play in a better state than the last game."

Snyder is very confident. As the coach of the Jazz, Snyder's words before the start of the game will invisibly bring a lot of strength to the Jazz!

Lakers fans held up the logo and shouted: "4 to 1, eliminate the Jazz".

Although the Lakers failed to complete the sweep of the Jazz, as Kobe said, this shows that the Jazz has a certain degree of competitiveness, and the Lakers want to sweep their opponents, and it is not as easy as imagined.

After the opening ceremony and warm-up time, the fifth game between the Lakers and Jazz officially began.

After all, this is the home court of the Lakers. As soon as the Lakers hold the ball, the fans on the scene give the Lakers extremely enthusiastic cheers.

This kind of positive shouting voice will undoubtedly make the Lakers players even more excited.

Although Snyder played the banner before the game, claiming that the Jazz will play a more exciting game than the fourth game, but everyone who knows the ball knows that these are impossible.

This is Los Angeles.

It is impossible for the fans to respond to the Jazz. Moreover, as opponents, the fans will pick the time to boo the Jazz players together to interfere with the Jazz mentality.

The Lakers' offensive thinking became more and more clear, and the ball was frequently handed over to Ge Feng and Davis.After the lessons of the previous games, the Lakers strengthened Ge Feng and Davis' possession of the ball, while Schroeder and Bojan's possession of the ball was further weakened.

Creating more shots for the two superstars means that the Lakers' scoring will be more stable than before.

Ge Feng and Davis, no matter which player they are, can stabilize their shooting percentage at about half.

The Jazz lacked Gobert's defense and couldn't stand the ravages of Ge Feng + Davis in turn.

At halftime, the Lakers were 56 to 44, leading the Jazz by 12 points.

Staples fans are also very excited at this time.

The Lakers finally have hope. At the end of this game, they will win the Jazz and enter the Western Conference Finals!
