Legend of Tomorrow

Just like the first two rounds for the Lakers, the Western Conference Finals ended quickly.

On May 27, the Lakers defeated the Spurs 114-82 in an away game. They swept their opponents with a total score of 4-0 and advanced to the finals. The average margin of victory was 31 points per game, which was a complete crushing.

In the promotion game, four Lakers players scored 20+ points. The highest scorer in the game was Derek Fisher, which was surprising.

Fisher's starting task is to dribble through half court and catch and shoot. After Guo Xu comes on the court, Fisher's task of dribbling through half court is gone. He only needs to catch and shoot as a guest at the No. 2 position. Then he had a seizure, making 11 of 13 shots, 6 of 7 three-pointers, and scored 28 points, 6 rebounds, and 5 assists.

Fisher's long-range shooting ability, which he developed at the cost of a stress fracture last summer, has been recognized by the coaching staff. Jackson unexpectedly discovered that it would be good to have him as a guest at the 2 position, especially when he plays with the Big Three, he is easily left out. If the star attracts double-teams and distributes the ball, he can take advantage of his shooting skills.

During the counterattack, Fisher was not slow either. He launched a fast break with Guo Xu, Kobe, and George. No matter who attracted help from the defense and passed to him, it was another good shooting opportunity.

Fisher also has bright spots on the defensive end. He has all the muscles to fight against the No. 2 player and does not suffer at all. He will not be easily passed. If the opponent wants to shoot, they have to hit him.

After the Western Conference Finals, Lakers manager Kupchak was reluctant to trade Fisher. His performance was fully worthy of an annual salary of 3 million, and he could help the team as a substitute at positions 1 and 2.

Harper will retire this year, and Brian Shaw is almost out of action. It will not be easy to find a defender with the same price and better strength than Fisher in the free market. It would be fine to trade him and bring in veterans with a minimum salary, but the substitute strength will definitely decrease.

After seeing the minimum-salary veterans introduced by the Mavericks and Spurs, Kupchak felt that doing so could easily cause problems and affect the dynasty plan for the coming year. Moreover, Guo Xu could not be renewed with the little salary space. Guo Xu's worth The increase is too fast, and there may be weak teams willing to offer him a long-term contract with a maximum salary.

The Lakers started their holiday on the 28th, and the Eastern Conference 76ers and Bucks only played their fourth game that night.

If there is another tiebreaker in the Eastern Conference finals, plus the rest time after promotion, the Lakers will have to take 10 days off before playing in the finals, and the Chinese National Day holiday is only 7 days.

Guo Xu suspected that the reason why the Lakers lost in the first game in the previous life was because they rested for too long. The players almost went crazy and their competitive state was average.

At least that's the case for Kobe. In the first game, he made 7 of 22 shots and 1 of 1 free throw. He only had 15 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists, and his shooting percentage was 31.8%. If Kobe's shooting percentage reaches 35%, neither team will be able to play overtime.

After all, he had just gotten married, so it was difficult for him to focus on basketball, and he also had some troubles to deal with at home.

In his previous life, Kobe had a falling out with his parents and felt uncomfortable. This time, he is in a good mood and his condition should be better.

Recently, his parents agreed that Kobe should pay off the loan and buy a house for Vanessa's parents. Now that the two parties have become in-laws, if the other party is still allowed to live in a dilapidated house, the media will break the news and say bad things about the Kobe family.

Guo Xu went into the vacation bored and had no idea what to do. During the time loop, he had tried many exciting and exciting entertainment projects, but in reality, he could no longer touch many projects.

For example, drag racing, if he is exposed to such news in reality, he will not be able to sign a big contract in the future.

After thinking about it, Guo Xu called his family and invited them to watch the first two finals and travel to Los Angeles.

Guo Xu is very embarrassed about his family in this life. Due to the time loop, they haven't seen each other for almost three years.

The distance between Lansing and Los Angeles is 2,215 miles. It takes him six hours to fly. After leaving the airport, it is not close to his home in East Lansing. It takes another hour to drive. In addition, due to the time difference between the east and west, he has to go home. Just have dinner, chat for a while and then go to sleep.

If he did this, his family would definitely think that his mania had worsened.

In addition, Guo Xu also plans to send game tickets to Jason Statham, Kelly Brook, Megan and other friends, so that everyone can go to watch the game together and support him in defeating Iverson.

The coaching staff gave the players three days off. Guo Xu did not take any rest and practiced shooting every day. He did not want any mistakes to occur in the finals. When the finals were over, he had plenty of time to have fun and relax.

He also pays attention to news on the Internet. The 2001 draft lottery has ended. The Wizards are the No. 1 pick, the Clippers are No. 2, and the Hawks are No. 3. The Bulls, with the worst record, are only ranked fourth. As long as he doesn't participate and there is no butterfly effect, there won't be much change from the previous life.

There is definitely a difference. Jason Richardson joined the NBA a year early, and the Warriors don't know who they will choose.

After four games, the 76ers and Bucks were tied at 2-2.

The media continued to promote Iverson's independent leadership and invincible spirit. He played with 18 injuries. Although his shooting percentage was 31% in two games and 29% in one game, the fans were moved by his spirit.

In the fifth Battle of Heavenly Kings Mountain, Iverson made 5 of 27 shots, 0 of 4 three-pointers, and 5 of 6 free throws. He scored 15 points, 9 rebounds, 8 assists, and 4 steals. The 76ers still defeated the Bucks 89-88. , got the match point.

Eric Snow made 7 of 9 shots, 4 of 4 free throws, and scored 18 points, including the key goal in the last 31 seconds to seal the victory; Mutombo made 6 of 11 shots, 9 of 9 free throws, and scored 18 points. 21 points, 13 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks.

On the defensive end, Snow performed even better. He defended Ray Allen most of the time. Ray Allen made 8 of 20 shots in this game and 2 of 8 three-pointers. His efficiency dropped significantly.

Snow also played injured and tried his best. He fractured his right ankle as early as the regular season and missed 32 games. He made a forced comeback in the playoffs, injured his right foot again in the fourth game, and still insisted on playing the next game.

Mutombo defended the 76ers' penalty area every game. His defensive range was very large, which suppressed the Bucks' inside line and made it difficult for opponents to break into the penalty area. They could only shoot from mid-to-long distances, and the shooting rate was not high.

Game 6 was held at the Bucks' home court. Ray Allen scored 41 points and 4 assists, and made 9 of 13 three-pointers. He and Iverson, who had 46 points and 3 assists, exchanged blows and won a victory. The two sides scored again. A tiebreaker.

Iverson exploded in the tiebreaker, making 17 of 33 shots, 4 of 6 three-pointers, 6 of 7 free throws, and scored 44 points, 6 rebounds, and 7 assists. Mutombo also had 23 points, 19 rebounds, 2 assists, and 7 blocks. The 76ers defeated the Bucks 108-91.

It's not easy for the 76ers to reach this point. Starting small forward George Lynch is out for the season due to injury. The 76ers' wing strength has declined, and there is no one who can lock down the big dog Glenn Robinson. Brown was forced to use second-year rookie Jumaine Jones as the starting small forward. Rookie Lagar Bell, who joined the NBA out of the draft, also gained a lot of playing time.

After the game, the Amys were all very excited. Congratulations to Iverson for leading the team to the finals independently, and praised him for taking his personal heroism to a new historical level.

Although Iverson basically had two games with a high shooting rate, sandwiched between five games with a low shooting rate of about 30%, his popularity reached unprecedented heights by reaching the finals.

People were surprised to find that Guo Xu's challenge to Iverson in January came into effect. The finals were really the Lakers vs. the 76ers, and their matchup became one of the most eye-catching gimmicks.
