lakers championship

Chapter 238
In Kenny’s words, the Lakers have been sluggish in recent years, but their ancestors were very wealthy. In the 21st century alone, they won 5 championships and ranked No. 30 among the 1 teams in the NBA. 4-0 or something is not uncommon. .

But even if it is a wealthy team, even if the standards for retiring jerseys and erecting statues are higher than other teams, as long as Tianyang really leads the team to win this year, even if he never plays again, the Lakers will retire his jersey and erect a statue.

For nothing else, it is too legendary, even more legendary than the magician rookie FMVP.

……

During the timeout at halftime, in the Lakers locker room, all the players sat around in front of the TV, carefully watching the error analysis video produced by the team's video editor in a hurry.There were not many mistakes, but everyone except Tianyang made mistakes.

After viewing all the videos, all the players immediately began to reflect.

Cousins: "I should be more decisive when turning around the basket. Capela is weaker than me in terms of strength."

Ingram: "Ariza has rich defensive experience, and too complicated breakthrough methods are not effective."

Randall: "Harden's fouling is really a must in the league, so don't be too careless."

After all the players finished speaking one by one, Walton said: "Mistakes should be avoided, but don't be intimidated by it, and use reasonable methods to improve."

After Wharton finished speaking, his eyes signaled Tianyang to say a few words.

Tianyang pondered for a while, felt that there was nothing special to add, and said directly: "Guys, keep up the offensive firepower and win the game in three quarters. I don't want to go to Houston anymore."

In the past few days, the entire Lakers team has been low-key and forbearing. Nick Young wanted to watch the Spurs video in advance and was stopped by Tianyang and Walton. Now Tianyang released the big talk in advance. ?"

Tianyang was stunned when he heard the words, "A great oriental military scientist and political scientist once said that facing the enemy should be despised strategically and valued tactically, so there is no such thing as accumulating character!"

Nick Young's eyes lit up when he heard the words, "It makes sense, try to defeat the Rockets in three quarters!"

With such a plan, all the Lakers players nodded in agreement. All the players clasped their hands together and shouted cheers in unison. Afterwards, Tianyang took the lead to leave the locker room and return to the court.

……

In a blink of an eye, the halftime timeout ended, and the third quarter of the two teams officially started, with the Lakers going first.

Tianyang dribbled the ball to the right wing, and Beverly stood directly in front, not blocking the pass like before.

Seeing this situation, Tianyang passed the ball to Randall, and then ran to the short corner on the right, using Nick Young to cover the ball and slip to the basket.On the other side, Ingram started running at the same time, detoured from the left wing to the top of the arc, and cooperated hand-in-hand with Randall. After getting rid of Ariza's defense, he strode towards the basket.

This is the usual tactic of the Lakers, and everything goes smoothly, but what is different from the past is that this time it was Harrell who switched to defend Ingram. His scoring ability is not as good as Anderson's, but his defense is a bit higher.

Harrell took the first step to block the forward route and successfully curbed Ingram's breakthrough momentum. Ariza also caught up from behind, forming a double encirclement in an instant.

The situation was urgent, and Ingram subconsciously wanted to turn around and dribble for a breakthrough, but Tianyang hurriedly waved his hand to stop it.

The picture of watching the video in the locker room before appeared in Ingram's mind. He gave up turning around and pulled the ball directly.

2 points hit, the Lakers scored 70 points, leading the Rockets by 14 points.

Easy side Rockets attack, Harden dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, Anderson and Capela went up at the same time, offering a high double block for the Nth time.The Lakers switched defenses step by step, and Randall faced Harden, making sudden shots.

Harden broke through to the paint in two strides, raised the ball in front of him with both hands, and skillfully initiated a three-step layup.

The basketball is like a delicate flower, tempting Randall to slap it. Fortunately, he watched the video during the timeout, and he waited until Harden made a full shot before stretching out his already hungry hand .

"Crack!" With the nail on the board, the basketball rebounded and flew to the top of the arc, and Cousins ​​caught the rebound.

Tianyang received the ball from the sideline on the right side and rushed all the way down. Ingram followed up on the left side, but came back from a halftime timeout.

The two teams landed, and Tianyang held the ball at the top of the arc and waited. When Cousins ​​succeeded in taking the position, he immediately passed the ball inside.

Cousins ​​took the ball in the low position on the left side, singled Capela with his back, made two strong tops in a row, turned forward without hesitation, and threw a small face-up hook.

Capela had just recovered, and it was too late to block the interference. The basketball went into the net smoothly, and the Lakers scored another 2 points.

……

It was another quarter of time to attack, and Harden became more and more cautious in the selection of shots, even a little timid, and the Rockets' offensive rhythm was also greatly slowed down.

In the TNT commentary, Kenny shook his head frequently, "The responsibility for the loss does not lie with Harden, nor the German coach, nor the rest of the Rockets. There is a hard gap in strength. I hope that this offseason, Morey can introduce another ball holder. "

Barkley nodded, "I agree with you. The status quo of the league today is not the same as it was back then. Although teamwork is not good, a super team is enough to make people desperate. Two teams can only be resolved through a third team."

O'Neal curled his lips, "The Lakers are not in a group. Tianyang, Ingram, and Randall are all drafted by themselves. Cousins ​​​​is the king and should not be traded here. For this, he paid for a high-quality potential player Nance."

Kenny sighed, "Yes, this is the gap between the giants and other teams."

……

In the fourth quarter, the Rockets fought desperately, but the Lakers were more determined. After several impacts failed to narrow the point difference, the Rockets all died down, and D'Antoni no longer made tactical adjustments.

In the end, the Lakers defeated the Rockets 116-94 at home, leading the series 3-0 and successfully getting the match point.

天洋出战35分钟，18投14中，3分球5投3中，罚球6中6，轻松拿到33分12助攻，英格拉姆、兰德尔、考辛斯三人得分也全部上双。

The moment the whistle sounded for the finale, all the fans at the Staples Center stood up. The decibels of applause, cheers, and screams burned higher and higher like flames.

Generally speaking, the ribbons are only opened when celebrating the promotion, and the Lakers are celebrating in advance.

Although in the entire history of the NBA, there has never been a situation where the Lakers were advanced after falling behind 0 to 3, but the Lakers encountered fierce criticism on Twitter for their actions regardless of the Rockets' feelings.

Some fans said that this is a dishonorable practice, and the Lakers will be bloodbathed by the Spurs after they advance.

This statement has been endorsed by many, and Lakers fans hope that the official will stand up and explain it.

Jim Buss directly retweeted and wrote: "I let the staff open the celebration ribbon. I don't save character anymore. The Lakers just want to advance, and the Lakers want to win the championship!"
