Chapter 487 The Finals are Summoning
Although the Spurs won one game first, the Lakers also played very fiercely in the subsequent counterattack. The "Zen Master" will definitely not allow his team to lose such an unclear home advantage.
So, the guys of the Los Angeles Lakers first equalized the score at home. When they reached San Antonio, they also went to the Sapurs' field and stole an away victory.
However, such a victory is not so easy to get. Bynum left at the last minute to defend Duncan, but Gasol used the chute to win the key points in the face of Stone Buddha.
It was because of the Spanish's middle shot that the Spurs were forced to score three points at the last moment. Parker's shot had already escaped Fisher's blockade, but it failed to dodge Kobe's defense.
Peter Pan suddenly killed him from the side at the last moment. At the moment when the "French sports car" took action, he stretched out his hand and swept in front of his eyes. Only his fingertips touched the basketball, but that was enough.
Odom grabbed the rebound on the inside line, and the Spurs were forced to foul, which put Odom, who was a little brain-damaged, on the free throw line. This guy who shot a little unreliable in the whole game, but made two free throws and two.
At this time, you can only say that the old man of God is not on the side of San Antonio. They lost in the last minute. The gap of 4 points is enough for the Lakers to steal a victory away from home.
When the Los Angeles guys took the lead in the overall score, the Spurs seemed a little passive, but with Popovich's tough character, even if he fell behind one to three, he could still fight with his opponents to the end.
What's more, the Spurs still have a home court. If the score is equalized, the worst thing is to start all over again!
Do you want San Antonio to admit defeat so easily? Come on, do you think this is reliable? How can they be so timid? Those guys are famous hard bones in the league. They would rather die than bow their heads!
Even the "Zen Master" said after the game, "The Lakers are only one point ahead, and everything is still unknown."
Because the old man also knew that Popovich and his Spurs were not so easily defeated by failure.
The game between the two heroes in the West is estimated to have to fight until the last minute to tell the winner. If the Lakers want to take advantage of the Spurs, this is more or less unreliable. Popovich is not so easy to win.
But for Los Angeles supporters, if the Lakers want to recover, they must cross the Spurs' blockade and not reach the finals, so even if they are the first in the West in the regular season, it is a decoration.
And when the Celtics have already held the match point, as an old enemy and an old opponent, if they are absent from such a peak duel, they will feel a little regretful and will be sorry for such onlookers.
Now the league has begun to speculate about the Celtics and Lakers. As the first place in the regular season in the East and West, I'm afraid such a duel is already popular.
Coupled with the kindness and resentment of the past decades, such a meeting may be more topical than other confrontations.
Even the betting company can't wait for such a big scene to come earlier. Boston and Los Angeles, such a confrontation will certainly not lack highlights. The broadcast of TNT TV may need such a good drama more.
Even Stein, a stubborn old man, may not be opposed to such a confrontation in the finals. What he needs is the attention of the media. Is there a more perfect confrontation than this? This is an old enemy!
It's just that no matter what others think, the Celtics need to deal with the Pistons again, and the Lakers have to cross the interception of the Spurs and want to meet in the finals. Now it doesn't seem so easy.
But this assumption has been unfolded, and you have to allow others to have room for association. Many media have even begun to plan whether it is time to make a special report on the feud between Boston and Los Angeles.
At least the feud between the two families also runs through the whole history of the NBA. It has been almost half a century since the flood era. The ties between each other are also very lingering.
Perhaps the collision between green and purple can make those old fans miss the past, especially after the new generation of Little Emperor and Paul have been eliminated, you always have to find a topic to talk about.
The new confrontation of traditional forces may be put forward with such a theme, which can still win the support of more people.
Watching the bustle is one of the inferiorities of people, so the hateful onlookers will never disappear.
Some people have proposed the possibility of such a duel, and countless people will come to watch, regardless of whether the finals of the East and West are over, which makes Phil Jackson and Rivers the key figures to be followed.
Even if Rivers is now preparing for the fourth game of the Pistons in Detroit, he still can't escape being chased by those reporters and asking about the treatment. The gossip of reporters is far more terrible than women.
Women's gossip is to satisfy their curiosity, and if reporters start gossip, it will definitely be linked to their income, so you'd better not expect them to get out of here in a few words.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the question we want to talk about now is about us and the Pistons, not to consider the next opponent before the end of the Eastern Conference finals. This is disrespect for Detroit."
Rivers wanted to find some excuses to deal with it, but those reporters who didn't relax after their buttocks didn't want to hear any official rhetoric. They couldn't wait for Rivers to say more and tell more information.
"Coach Rivers, if, I said, if the Celtics make it to the finals, what kind of lineup will you use to deal with the Los Angeles Lakers? Attack? Defense? Which method do you think is more effective?
I don't know which reporter's question this is, but listening to this, it's just picking. Rivers really wants to catch this guy out and beat him up. Is it necessary to fan the flames like this now?
"Whether it comes to the Lakers or the Spurs, the Celtics will stick to their own style of play, and these problems should not be considered now. We haven't defeated the Pistons yet, and we won't respond to questions about the finals."
In the face of those chattering reporters, even the good-tempered Rivers couldn't stand it. He had no choice but to use a cold tone to reject the entanglement of the gossip media and quickly get out of the crowd.
However, this matter is not over, because Rivers's face is not good-looking. Those unscrupulous reporters will write in the newspaper, "Reverus's refusal to talk about Los Angeles, the first strength in the West makes him feel stressed."
Well, what can you say in the face of such nonsense? Go and talk to him about what you have said? Forget it, Rivers doesn't have time to do such a thankless thing. The main reason is that he really can't tell.
If you have that spare time, it's better to think about how to play the fourth game with the Pistons. If you can win the opponent, even if the Celtics successfully reach the finals, it will definitely make Boston excited.
Isn't it a waste of effort to consider who the opponent in the finals is at this time? Who do you have to fight with? What's the difference between the Lakers or the Spurs? It's still four wins in seven games, and everyone has to be careful.
Old enemy? An old enemy? Maybe those fans and the media will be interested in such a topic, but for Rivers, as long as it is an oncoming opponent, it is an attitude to deal with it, because he just wants to win.
Phil Jackson must have the same trouble, but for the old and cunning guy, if he really plays some Tai Chi pusher with the media, few people can catch his speech disease.
However, now the old "Zen master" doesn't have time to deal with those media reporters. The battle with Popovich really consumes too many brain cells. It's not so easy to win that hawkish.
Rivers has no time to consider the finals. The "Zen Master" also needs to break through the blockade in front of him, but the coaching staff of both sides is not idle except to deal with the opponents in front of him.
At this time, the information collected has almost been done. No matter who can enter the stage of the finals or the four teams that can enter the finals of the east and west, there is no secret.
Now it's a confrontation with all kinds of information, and the NBA is not immune. If you really go to those video materials in the finals, it's no different from being an idiot.
The information on Rivers's desktop has already touched the opponents thoroughly. At this time, there is no so-called strange soldier. If there was really any move, the level of the game would have been exposed long ago.
In fact, even Rivers himself has said that the teams that can win the eastern and western finals are transparent to each other. What do I have? You know, what do you have? I also know. There is basically no secret.
Even the bench lineup and the injury list have been known by the opponent for a long time. You have nothing to hide.
What the two sides can compete on the field is the basic skills, that is, their respective strength. There is no so-called strange moves. The level between each other is not too bad, and there is not much for you to speculate.
Look at the competition between the Pistons and the Celtics. Everyone knows what's going on with the lineup. The only difference is that Rivers and Sanders had their respective tactical ideas at that time and how to play. This is the head coach's own arrangement. As for the player's ability, this has long been obvious. Of.
The same is true in the west. The fight between the Lakers and the Spurs is the on-the-spot response. The competition between Popovich and Jackson has never been the mode where one side will be defeated.
So, now the Celtics really have a chance to be the first to hit the line, and then go to the mountain to watch the tiger fight.
Maybe when they make it to the finals, they will start to think about who will be their opponents.
The Lakers? Maybe this old enemy is a good choice, but the hard bone of the Spurs is also an opponent that can't be underestimated, but no matter who they meet, Rivers and the green shirts dare to beat him hard!
Isn't the opponent just for the beat? Don't care so much, beat the Pistons down first, and then clean up the next team you want to meet. No matter who comes, hit him with a peach blossom face first!
This is the philosophy of the Green Shirts. Only when the fist is big can you speak so hard. Now Boston is so fierce...
