You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 983 We will definitely win
In the battle of Tianwangshan in 2018, Wright's secret weapon carefully prepared for Durant went bankrupt in the opponent's unreasonable offense with the ball.

Durant is really not afraid of Siakam or Zhou Qi, a player with long hands, long legs and fast movement, because his physical coordination is not at the same level as these people.

Even if they are players with high agility compared with the same height, they have obvious shortcomings compared with Durant.

Therefore, when meeting them, Durant can be said to see one and fight one.

The effect of the 76ers' off-court pressure is not a change in the league, but the disgust of the referees.

If the referee thinks about you, the league may not need to do anything, and it will target you by itself.

In 2006, the Mavericks were hit by Wade in the finals and made countless free throws. There is a view that it has nothing to do with the league. It is simply that the referees do not like their boss Mark Cuban.

The referee's disgust caused the Lakers to continue their strategy in the previous game.

Due to the high attention to this game, it tended to be close to the ratings record set by Game3. When the Lakers took advantage of the brutal confrontation to profit, the referee symbolically blew a few whistles to warn the 76ers to pay attention to their hands and feet.

They really misjudged this team.

It seems that someone has forgotten how they defeated the Warriors with a weak victory in 2016.

The Lakers suddenly did this to them. They originally wanted to wait for the league to put pressure on them, or for the referee to adjust himself. Seeing that the referee intends to continue playing at such a scale, how could they sit still?
The opponent uses the method they are most familiar with to try to establish an advantage and lock in victory, how can they let it succeed?
In the second half, what the Lakers saw was a team far more brutal than them.

The 76ers had a lot of physical confrontation on the ground, and they had to bring people down every round.

At the beginning, the referee would blow a few whistles to warn the 76ers. As the audience at the Wells Fargo Center booed angrily, the referee realized that if they continued to blow the wrong whistle, they might not be able to leave Philadelphia alive—and they could not bear the responsibility of messing up such a game with such high ratings.

For the Lakers, this is the worst news.

In such a physical confrontation, they can still use their talents to dominate in the early stage. Once the game is delayed, the 76ers' lineup depth advantage will be reflected.

Moreover, they really just don't give the Lakers a chance.

Dealing with Durant and Paul, two players who are easily affected by confrontation, is to put pressure as much as possible.

Durant fell to the ground far more times than in the first three games.

And Paul, in the endless oppression, broke his own string first.

In the 5th minute of the fourth quarter, Paul broke through and scored a throw. When he landed, he was hit by Cousins ​​and fell to the ground in a distorted posture.

Then, he injured his thigh and couldn't get up on the spot.

This scene, to a certain extent, disintegrated the fighting spirit of the Lakers.

The key Tianwangshan, Paul's injury, dealt a huge blow to the morale of the Lakers.

Wei Xia and Kobe were not affected at all.

The hearts of these two people are harder than the other. The more they play at this time, the better they play. When the Lakers once led by a large score, they were defeated by the 76ers using their methods of building advantages-rough confrontation, brutal hand-to-hand combat, small moves, and strong fouls.

101 is better than 95
Since the start of the finals, the scores of the two sides have been suppressed below 110 points for the first time.

"Some people may be very angry when I say this, but I have to say this." Odom laughed. "The 76ers originally planned to compete with the Lakers for the championship in an elegant way. Since the Lakers want to play the tricks, they can only show their cards-this is what they are best at!"

"Yes, this game let us see the most ferocious side of basketball!" Odom's partner followed suit.

Wei Xia and Kobe scored 59 points together, more than half of the team.

"We don't hate this kind of game." Wei Xia said with a smile.

On the Lakers side, especially James, when facing reporters, his face was gloomy: "We all know how the Warriors missed the good game."

What he said seemed to be dissatisfied with the current game scale.

Paul's injury is undetermined. If this scale continues, they are likely to be blown up by the 76ers in Game [-].

However, has he forgotten which side first provoked the hand-to-hand combat?
If this tactic hadn't been adopted, or if the referee hadn't blown the whistle, the Lakers would never have won the game so easily, even with a sudden attack and a lot of physical confrontation with wrestling Game4.

Their second victory was won on this basis.

Now he hints to the camera that he doesn't like it, and it just makes him laugh.

The next day, the worst news for the Lakers came: Paul's thigh was severely strained and he is expected to be reimbursed for the season.

Of course, it's not like he can't return with a badly strained thigh, like many guys who play with one foot.

This will add to the legend of the final.

But why?
Paul and his team have to proceed from reality. He was injured and the Lakers trailed 2-3. He tried his best to make the injury more serious. Even if he won, there would be a tiebreaker.

And this year is Paul's contract year. At the end of the season, he can sign a long-term contract with the Lakers with an annual salary of 3000 million. If his injury worsens, will the Lakers give him a big contract?

The championship is nice, but it may not be as sweet as the real $3000 million.

Without a championship, he is at most like Barkley being ridiculed by people like O'Neal every day, but with 3000 million, he can forget all his troubles.

Therefore, Paul's team has decided to be reimbursed for the season, but for the Lakers' preparation needs, it has released a smoke bomb that may come back.

Everyone in the Lakers knows that it is impossible for Paul to come back.

The 76ers don't care if Paul returns.

On June 2018, 6, they arrived in Los Angeles.

This is the Lakers' last home game of the season.

It is also possible that it will be the last game of the season.

The reporter's microphone came to Wei Xia, asking him to comment on Paul's possible comeback.

"We don't care because we're going to beat the Lakers, not a player on the Lakers."

Wei Xia replied bluntly, the reporter could not find any flaws.

They were let go and went straight to the hotel.

Settled in, rested, prepared, waited until evening and entered the Staples Center two hours earlier.

That night, in the visiting team's locker room, Kobe was seriously preparing for the game.

His knee pads, his finger cots, his ankle gaiters.

"It's really troublesome." Wei Xia only needs a knee pad.

"The game, like life, requires a sense of ritual, especially tonight." Kobe went through his so-called ritual completely.

After Kobe finished these things, he stood up and said: "I can't imagine that one day you and I will come here wearing the jerseys of the visiting team and compete with the Lakers for the championship."

"There are many unexpected things. For example, ten years ago, I would never have imagined that the Lakers would not even give me a maximum salary." Wei Xia said lightly.

Kobe asked, "Do you still care?"

"I'm not as narrow-minded as you. I've let go of that matter a long time ago." Wei Xia said confidently, "What I have achieved has already proved their mistakes. Now I just want to prove to them again in front of them what a serious mistake they made."

Kobe smiled: "If I decide to retire after this season, Staples will be a perfect destination."

"Then, tonight." Wei Xia put on his No. 1 jersey, "Go and end them!"

In the player tunnel, the rest of the 76ers are waiting for Wecha and Kobe.

"I don't care about LeBron James or Kevin Durant, because I know they can't stop us from moving forward!" Wei Xia was surrounded by everyone, "We won 72 games in the regular season, and we won 13 games in a row in the playoffs! They need the mercy of the referee to keep their home court advantage. How can they beat us tonight?"

Wei Xia's speech was "extremely arrogant". This is not something he would say, but it is such crazy words that make all the teammates in the locker room passionate.

This is a beautiful mobilization!

"I don't want a tiebreaker, just end their season at the Staples Center, let's refresh with the boos and champagne at the end of the game!"

With his high-pitched tone and provocative words, he ignited the fire in the hearts of his teammates, and then rushed into the Staples Center together.

The fans at the scene, as in the past, booed the strongest.

Wei Xia just smiled. He saw many old acquaintances at the scene.

Among them is Jim Buss, who is no longer in power in the Lakers.

Wearing a very mismatched suit, he shouted excitedly to Wei Xia: "Wish, although I am also a 'Bath', in the name of a friend, I will support you to the end!"

Little Bath may be the only one that has not failed Wechat.

He also has full respect for the opponent. Without the help of Bass Jr., he could not quickly gain a foothold in Los Angeles.

Those things that happened later were completely out of the control of little Bass, which Wei Xia knew very well.

So his relationship with Bass Jr. has never been affected by those things. He has kept in touch for many years and has always been a very good friend.

Seeing the interaction between Wei Xia and Jr., the Lakers fans' dissatisfaction with Jr. Buss reached the extreme in an instant, and the voice of Jr. Buss getting out of Staples kept ringing.

Buss Jr. could only sneer. Although the Lakers have nothing to do with him, he still has the right to operate the Staples Center. As long as he wants, he can tell anyone in the auditorium to leave. These stupid fans are really funny.
