Legend of Tomorrow

Chapter 1165 [The future is yours, the hope of winning]

In the last quarter, Guo Xu played another 6 minutes, widening the point difference to 34 points with his outstanding personal ability, and clocked out early.

The game was broadcast live on TNT radio. Barkley said: The Warriors' breakthrough today was blocked. They couldn't win the championship by relying on jump shots alone. And they couldn't prevent Jason's breakthrough. This is the gap between the two teams.

Kenny Smith smiled and said: This is the Western Conference Finals. We haven't started competing for the championship yet. Make no mistake.

O'Neal said: When the players feel good, the Warriors can compete with the Lakers by relying on jump shots, but if the feel is not good, they will lose miserably in a situation like today. They have lost by 30 points before, and looking at Jason's performance, they were in garbage in the third quarter. The timing is not weird.”

The Warriors had no time to reverse the score difference. Mark Jackson had no choice but to replace all the main players and surrender in advance. If they continued to fight, it would only be convenient for Guo Xu to brush up the statistics.

The Lakers immediately replaced all the main players, and Tyronn Lue asked Seth Curry, Booker, Richardson, Harrell and others to take the field for training.

Many Warriors fans could not accept this result and left the game early. How can you be a defending champion if you are killed so casually? Do you dare to fight until the last second and get killed? Where is your fighting spirit?

In fact, the Warriors players tried their best and made several side saves, but they couldn't.

The cameraman took a close-up of a primary school fan wearing a Curry jersey who was leaving the court. The little boy was crying so miserably.

After Curry came off the court, he covered his head with a towel and stopped watching the game. Many fans suspected that he cried after being beaten and that the head covering was to hide this.

The fringe players on both sides competed, and the Warriors substitutes only had a slight upper hand. The Lakers finally won 127-98, eliminating the Warriors with a total score of 4-3, and entered the finals with no risk.

Guo Xu was incredibly efficient in this game, making 14 of 17 shots, 5 of 6 three-pointers, 10 of 10 free throws, scoring 43 points, 3 rebounds, 22 assists and 2 steals. The number of his shots has decreased, and it feels like he hit 40+20 without any effort.

Curry also shot 17 times and only hit 5 goals, including 4 of 11 three-pointers and 3 of 4 free throws. He scored 17 points, 13 rebounds and 7 assists. This data is a bit magical. Backcourt rebounds seem to automatically fall into Curry's arms.

Unfortunately, it is of little significance for the point guard to grab a lot of rebounds. Curry was completely outplayed by Guo Xu in terms of key statistics that can help the team win, and his defensive ability was also criticized online. Many stars blame their teammates for losing. Curry is more unlucky. He is the one who takes the blame for the Warriors' defeat. Who wants him to face off against Guo Xu directly?

Five Warriors scored in double figures.

No one scored 20+. Middleton's performance was worse than Curry, making 4 of 13 shots, 0 of 3 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 10 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists.

Before returning to the locker room, players from both sides shook hands. Guo Xu comforted Curry: The future is yours.

Curry gritted his braces and really wanted to reply: Then when will you retire?

Curry is extremely depressed. In terms of player reputation, the Warriors are much better than the Lakers. Even Horford, the second leader of the Lakers, has never played in the finals. This only shows that there is a huge gap in ability between him and Guo Xu.

Guo Xu doesn't need very strong teammates, as long as the role players can catch the ball, shoot three-pointers and screen. Curry didn't understand how Guo Xu developed his one-on-one ability. It was too strong.

At the press conference, Guo Xu complimented his opponent when talking about his feelings. The overall strength of the Warriors is very strong, otherwise we would not have reached the tiebreaker. The Lakers won the game because of their overall efforts. First, they defended better and prevented the opponent's breakthrough. Second, they seized the opportunity on the offensive end. If teammates They can't make a shot, and it's useless for me to attract double teams and score the ball.

The reporter asked: The Warriors' defensive efficiency ranks among the best in the regular season. The Lakers are not a team known for their defense. How do you defend well?

Guo Xu smiled and said: It's very simple. In the regular season, Andre (Robertson) and PJ (Tucker) played less time. In the playoffs, their playing time increased and they strengthened the wing defense. And I also started to take it seriously. Defensively, I think we are the best perimeter defensive team in the league.”

As long as Robertson has stable playing time, it is normal for him to be selected for the best defensive team. Tucker is the same defense as Green, just shorter. Horford's defensive ability is above average. Although he has not been selected for the All-Defensive Team, no one has ever said that he is a defensive black hole. He is one of the most versatile players in the league.

The Lakers' only defensive weakness is the center. Nurkic's ability to defend the penalty area is not bad, but he can't defend the pick-and-roll. In this series, Nurkic has finished in double figures. If the Lakers trade him in the summer, he will be a hot commodity in the free market.

The depth of the Lakers' lineup cannot be compared with that of the Warriors. After entering the playoffs, they usually rotate eight players, but they are enough.

The reporter asked: Are you confident you can win the championship?

When I announced my comeback, I was confident of winning the championship. Of course, the Nets also have hope of winning the championship, probably.

If he didn't add probably, he would look very humble, but why is he so humble? James is obviously here to compete for seventh place. He is almost catching up with Elgin Baylor.

At the Warriors' press conference, players and coaches praised Guo Xu as much as everyone else on the Lakers, and reporters' questions also focused on Guo Xu. They couldn't boast more. Looking at the data and game process, Guo Xu has always maintained dominance.

After the game, discussions began online about the outcome of the finals. Last summer, not many people were optimistic about the Lakers, but a large group of people were optimistic about the Nets, thinking that they were a super Big Three team.

Now, most fans are optimistic that the Lakers will win the championship and sweep the Nets to win the championship.

If the Nets are not swept, they will win. Guo Xu is good at helping ordinary teammates improve their strength. James is good at turning giants into pseudo-giants and role players into CBA teammates.

The Nets can almost rebuild after this season. The Lakers are so strong in defense against breakthroughs, and the Warriors can't even beat a group of three-point shooters. Can a team like the Cavaliers, which relies on isolations for scoring, win?

The suspense is not who wins the championship, but how many games the Lakers win the championship. I feel like it's another sweep.

Beverley can't even guard Lillard, how can he guard Jason Guo? He can't play in this position.

If everyone is optimistic about the Lakers, then it is not embarrassing for the Nets to lose. However, many basketball experts and media expressed their optimism about the Nets competing with the Lakers and that they also have a chance to win the championship.

These are the people who were arranged by commissioner Adam Silver to hype up game ratings. If he doesn't promote it like this, the ratings will definitely be dismal. He has to make fans believe that the Nets can pose some threat to the Lakers.

After reading the discussion on the Internet, James just wanted to get a hair transplant. He would get a 100,000 yuan hair transplant first, and then come back next month after losing all his hair.

James has no confidence to defeat the Lakers and win the championship, and the atmosphere within the team is also very bad. Although James has never played a big role in the team and has high emotional intelligence and can talk, both Wade and David West feel that they have been cheated.

The two of them were recruited by James on the grounds of competing for the championship, at the expense of high salaries. They have all made it clear that they will leave if they don't win the championship this season.

James wants to leave too, but he can't seem to. When he joined the Nets, he said that he would bring a championship to the Nets. He also said that he and JAYZ were brothers and came to play brother basketball.

He only stayed with the Nets for two seasons. What reason would he find if he left? It would be embarrassing to join Guo Xu, as it would be like being someone's younger brother. If you stay in the Nets, the team lineup will be weaker next season and there will be no future...
