Chapter 343 Score Battle
After that, in the 2003-2004 NBA Finals, this happened. The Lakers, whose record in the regular season was better than the Pistons, had one win and one loss in the first two games, and then lost to the Pistons in three consecutive away games. The famous Lakers f4 ended in such a dramatic way.

The Lakers lost the finals without even using their two home courts. It is estimated that not only the owners and fans of the Lakers are dissatisfied, but also the owners of other NBA teams will have doubts. What about the unlucky one.

So in 2013, all nba club owners voted unanimously to change the nba finals back to 22111, which is an absolutely fair method. The unfortunate Lakers like the tragedy became an inconspicuous footnote in the long river of history.

Verus personally thinks that even 331 is better than 232. Although 331 is too cool for the dominant team in the regular season, if they win all three home games and hold four match points in the back, they will basically win the game. There is no suspense.

But if your record in the regular season is weaker than your opponent, and you are scored 0:3 in the finals, it means that you are not the material for the championship at all. If you can’t return to your three home games, it means that your level is not good. Don’t blame others. , who comes first is very important, but what is more important is absolute strength.

Verus felt that it would be good if you won three consecutive home games. A team that is crushed by pressure is not worthy of that ring. To win the NBA championship, it must be the most well-prepared and the most comprehensive. Flawed team, history will never remember who was the runner-up, never will.

"The Kings who lost in the last game came aggressively. They fought against the Warriors at the beginning. The Kings' starting five players have not changed. They are still power forward Chris Webber, point guard Mike Bibby, and shooting guard Doug. Christie, center Verati Divac, small forward Peja Stojakovic."

"The Warriors have a slight change in their starting lineup at home. The center used No. 30 Big Ben Wallace. Dayao has some problems with his left foot. The Warriors' team doctor suggested that he be suspended for one game. For this reason, the Shenzhou fans who traveled thousands of miles to San Francisco, USA , there must be some small dissatisfaction, sorry sorry."

"The power forward has also been replaced. No. 15 Pau Gasol made his debut. His performance in the first year of the Warriors' rookie season greatly exceeded the expectations of all fans and coaches. It can be said that he is all the Warriors' rookies. Even this season, among all the first-year rookies in the NBA, there is no rookie who has the best performance and the most eye-catching statistics."

There are many nba players whose debut is the peak, but there are not many superstars. Many nba players have good statistics in the first year of their debut, and they will maintain that level in the next few years. The gold content of this peak is actually not high. Among the superstars, they can be called Debut is the pinnacle, not many.

Verus feels that Duncan and Jordan Joe help them, and it is okay to say that their debut is the peak. From the data point of view, it is indeed not much different from the latter, but they did not win the championship in the first year of their rookie season. This peak still has moisture.

To say that his debut is the pinnacle, Verus personally thinks that Magic Johnson has to be counted. He played the famous "Dr. J" Julius Irving's 76ers in the finals of his rookie season.

In the absence of the famous Lakers center "Skyhook" Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Magic Johnson changed from the No. 1 point guard position to the No. 5 center position. He surrendered super luxurious data of 42 points, 15 rebounds, 7 assists and 3 steals. Help the Lakers achieve the number one classic battle victory in NBA history.

"The starting small forward of the Warriors is of course No. 1 McGrady. Although his performance in the last few games has not been satisfactory, he has been strictly guarded and double-teamed by all opponents, but we believe that McGrady is still the same McGrady, and it is impossible not to play. Come out, everyone can wait and see."

"Warriors' starting shooting guard No. 33 Grant Hill, I have to say that since the start of the playoffs, Hill's condition is getting better and better. Among all the players in the Warriors, Hill has made all fans and coaches very satisfied. His Stability and experience will help the giant ship of the Warriors continue to ride the wind and waves."

"The Warriors' starting point guard No. 4 is Chauncey Billups. In the Warriors' playoffs this season, only Billups is a pure point guard. This is a great deal for him and the Warriors. test."

"Kings starting center Divac, feeling like he and all the team players can't win the jump ball, so the Kings put Webber on the jump ball, and the Warriors also put Pau Gasol on the jump ball, the young man is young , Gasol obviously does not suffer from stage fright, he gets the ball first when he comes up, and the Warriors hold the ball and advance to the frontcourt.”

"Only 7 seconds into the game, Grant Hill took the ball from outside the three-point line and made a shot. Drops, dunks, catches, threes, a breathless first quarter."

"The crazy home team Golden State Warriors and the equally crazy Sacramento Kings scored 38:41 in the first quarter. The home team scored behind. This is not like the crucial battle in the second round of the NBA playoffs, but Like a certain two underdogs in the NBA who can only score points, let the leading players not defend but only score, there is a perfect understanding."

"The Kings side, Mike Bibby and Doug Christie, made five 5-pointers in the first quarter, while the Warriors showed no sign of weakness, with Maddie Hill and Billups combined for six. A three-pointer, the two sides played smoothly, the efficiency was extremely high, there were very few fouls on the court, and the fans were hooked."

"Second and third quarters the Kings had a problem, starting with their Peja Stojakovic going off with an injury, he didn't look like he could hold on anymore, he was 7 for 1 from the field when he was on the court, including 3 Missed all three-pointers, and his end made Kings coach Rick Adelman frown a little. The Kings had to replace forward Hedo Turkoglu, who was similar to Peja and was not good at attacking. It has its own set of things.”

"The battle between the Warriors and the Kings lasted until the fourth quarter. After Peja came off the field, the Kings could only rotate the seven-man lineup. Obviously, Adelman would not give too many opportunities to the young player Gerald Wallace. In the last minute of the second quarter, the young Kings player who played for a while will continue to wait for his own spring."

"The Golden State Warriors finally bared their fangs in the fourth quarter. Tracy McGrady and Grant Hill were staring at the best defensive swingman in the Kings. Doug Christie was attacking. Whoever had the ball against Christie, it was Unreasonable and close-fitting, the other teammates of the Kings had to spend more energy helping Christie to defend, and this gave the Warriors inside opportunities, and Gasol continued to get good opportunities to score at the basket."
