NBA: Two hands can’t carry championship rings

In the fourth game of the series with the Warriors, Kobe turned on the scoring mode and scored 41 points.

In the last match against the Warriors kid, he lost, and the loss was obvious. He must get back on his feet in this game.

The score of 41 points beat Yue Yi's 32 points. Kobe also responded to Yue Yi with his performance on the court. It's not that I can't score high, but whether I want to. When I score easily, you are still playing in the mud.

However, the team lost the game.

106:112, the Lakers were tied by the Warriors 2:2 in the series.

The Warriors on the opposite side seemed to have become stronger all of a sudden.

The old ones are getting stronger. The young ones are emerging.

The bench is full of surprises.

The run-and-gun system is running fast.

The score of 2:2 was also beyond the expectations of the media.

The Warriors are always underestimated. The Warriors with all healthy players have never been in the discussion of championship teams, not to mention that they lost a main center.

When the Lakers were leading 2:0, the outside world predicted that the Warriors would be swept. If they could win a home game, they would be qualified and have an explanation for this series.

However, the Warriors slapped their faces with their performance on the court.

Prediction is still quite difficult.

On paper, the Lakers are much stronger than the Warriors.

The media's evaluation of Yue Yi has reversed in two levels, and this period is only a few days.

Most media people always follow the wind, and the winning side is naturally praised.

TNT's Barkley supported the Warriors from beginning to end. He made a bold statement that the Warriors can beat the Lakers and Yue Yi can beat Kobe.

This kind of words is too obvious to make a gimmick, so he was ridiculed by his partners Kenny Smith and Ernie Johnson.

In the first two games, as predicted before the game, the Warriors lost, although the Lakers' win in the first game was controversial.

Barkley said stubbornly that although the Warriors lost, Yue Yi's performance was not bad, and they would kick the Lakers' ass when they returned to their home court.

Regarding Yue Yi's scandal with the Kardashian sisters, Barkley directly scolded the sisters in the live studio as"bitch" and told them not to ruin the outstanding players in the league.

Barkley warned Yue Yi that if he wanted to go further in the future, he should stay away from these bitches.

I thought it was just the effect of the show, but privately, Barkley really called Yue Yi and gave him a lot of advice.

This big mouth, who was once ridiculed by Chinese fans for the"donkey kissing incident", really likes Yue Yi.

Barkley said several times in the show that he admired Yue Yi's characteristics of perfectly integrating the humility of Eastern culture with the confidence of Western culture.

Barkley said: Compared with his predecessor Yao Ming, he is more confident and brave to show himself, not afraid of being laughed at, and says what he wants to say.

Compared with other young people in the league, he respects his senior players off the court and speaks and behaves very modestly.

For example, when he and Kidd attended press conferences and activities together, he never walked in front of Kidd, nor would he speak before Kidd.

You have to know that Yue Yi has already surpassed Kidd in terms of their actual role on the court.

The two partners also secretly sighed in their hearts that this young man from China has won Charles' heart.

Although Charles Barkley is always teased, laughed at and bullied in the live studio, in private, his strength and status are very high.

He has a bold and arrogant style of doing things, and his sense of justice is highly appreciated by the big guys in the gray area. His connections are far beyond imagination.

After the live broadcast of the Warriors' two home games, Barkley began to frantically counterattack his two partners.

"Ernie, Kenny, you see, Kobe was beaten by this guy, 46 points, Kenny, you are also a player, what is your career high score? 18 points?"

"Ernie, you have been working at TNT for so many years. In terms of vision, you are always far behind me."

"Come on, shout with me, Warriors are the champions."

Of course, Barkley is the target of bullying on TNT, and the two partners can always find a way to fight back against him.

Barkley has a fatal flaw, a natural disadvantage.

Kenny Smith:"Score? I have a championship, Charles, you don't."

Ernie Johnson is positioned as a host on TNT. He is not a former NBA player, and the NBA's past cannot attack him.

However, as the host of TNT and the most experienced of the three, he sits in the C position.

After all, Barkley and Smith are now engaged in the industry of media people, not players.

Ernie Johnson responded to Barkley: Don't be happy too early, it's 2:2 now, not that the Warriors eliminated the Lakers 4:2, just wait and see, Charles.

On May 11, the two teams moved to the Staples Center for the third game.

After four games, the Lakers and Warriors were the most intense of the four semifinals, both on and off the court.

The players of the two teams fought fiercely on the court, and the coaches fought wits and courage off the court.

The fans of each team were even more incompatible.

This was also the semifinal with the highest attention and popularity.

When a team has three former star players of their respective teams, in order to play better teamwork, someone will always have to make certain sacrifices.

After the formation of the Celtics Big Three, the Wolf King and Need sacrificed on the offensive end and devoted more energy to the defensive end. Kobe has reduced a lot of previous shots and devoted more energy to the defensive end to specialize in arrow characters on the opponent's defender line.

The sacrifice he made has given Yao Ming more room for full play.

Yao Ming mentioned more than once in front of the media.

The sacrifice made by Gasol for the team is the biggest of the Lakers.

He is very grateful to Gasol.

The lethality of the bit is the maximum In the decisive battle, Yao Ming stood out again.

He scored 28 points and 12 rebounds, and he was so powerful in the interior that he made the Warriors' interior players commit more than a dozen fouls.

Since entering the NBA in 2002, this year's semifinals is actually Yao Ming's first time.

Before, when he was in the Rockets, he lost in the first round every year.

His teammates have never been as strong as this year, and he has received a lot of support.

This undoubtedly made it much easier for him to play on the offensive end than before, because his teammates' firepower shared the defensive pressure he faced.
