NBA: Miracle Workers

Chapter 288 Missing Persons (Daily Chapter)

On May 2003, 5, in the Eastern Conference semifinals, the Nets and Knicks both advanced and met in the conference finals for two consecutive years.

The Pistons, like the Pacers, suffered a rout in G4.

82:102, the Nets, who returned home, did not waste the opportunity, sweeping their opponents with a big score of 4:0, ending the series early!

比卢普斯延续了之前的表现，全场8中1，拿到6分6助攻1抢断1盖帽1失误的数据。

基德掌控全场，21中10，三分线外5中1，罚球5中5，砍下26分12篮板7助攻2抢断6失误。

Obviously, most of the defenders in the Eastern Conference are no match for Kidd. After Iverson, Billups also fell behind.

When attending the press conference after the game, Kidd also pretended to have an X after leading the team to the Eastern Conference Finals again:

"We have been ready for a long time, and just like I promised, I will lead the Nets to the conference finals again."

"Lee and the Knicks have been my biggest rivals and we've been preparing for this moment all season!"

"I know how good I am. I am the best point guard in the league. As for Lee, he is a combo guard and is not within the scope of comparison. Our playing styles are very different."

Kidd boasted that he was the best point guard in the league and was not contradicted by sports reporters.

If there was no Li You in the Eastern Conference, maybe this guy would have really led that once-slutty team to the finals.

It was unfortunate to encounter Li You's Kidd, but if he continued to stay in the Western Conference, he might not even be able to reach the conference finals.

Unless Kidd can lower his worth and actively choose to join the Lakers, Spurs, and Timberwolves to play "brotherly basketball."

Otherwise, with the current configuration of the Suns, reaching the Western Conference Finals will definitely not be an easy task.

Kidd boasted and showed confidence, and in another game that night, 112:91, the Knicks continued to beat their opponents, sweeping the Pacers 4:0.

In this series, Reggie Miller, who is in poor physical condition, averaged 29.5 minutes per game;

场均贡献10.0分3.5篮板3.5助攻1.8失误，投篮命中率为27.7%，三分球命中率为16.0%，罚球命中率为91.3%。

Grant Hill and the veteran played the same game, without saving any face for each other. In addition, the Knicks' outside players took turns taking care of them, and the old Miller was held back for 4 games.

Attending the press conference after the game, Li You and Grant Hill only talked about the situation.

There is no need to discuss this series at all. All four games were won by a large margin. The two teams are not at the same level at all.

Reggie Miller and Jaylen Rose, who attended the press conference, were not embarrassed by sports reporters.

Losing a game by less than 10 points proves that both sides still have a fight to play. With such a loss in the semifinals, no one will be surprised when the Pacers announce a rebuild during the offseason.

Finally, the TNT reporter asked the question that everyone in the audience was most concerned about:

"Reggie, will fans still see you on the court next season? Do you have any plans to retire?"

Wearing a dark gray formal suit, Reggie Miller looked a little ugly after losing. After hearing this question, he immediately answered:

"I don't want to retire, I will continue to chase the championship, and I will not leave the Pacers."

"I don't choose to join a rival for the ring, and I don't need any sympathy from the players."

"If you can beat me, then do it! Just like Hill did in this series."

"I have lost to the Knicks many times. Lee has a chance to become the best player in history. I have experienced the era of Michael Dun and Lee, and I enjoy my career against them."

When any player reaches the age of 38, his physical condition will begin to decline. The Pacers reporter looked at the core of the stubborn statement and felt a little sad:

"Maybe we won't win a championship in the next few years."

The Eastern Conference Finals will officially begin on May 5, and both teams have received more than a week of rest.

The benefits of the Nets and Knicks playing in the conference finals are obvious. In the next half month, both sides will not have to fly, and playing away games will be like "going home."

As for Li You, he really likes to play in the playoffs with the Nets.

During the Eastern Conference Finals, he can stay in Manhattan until the end of May. Even in early June, after experiencing the finals, the Knicks can continue to wait for their opponents in Manhattan with their record advantage.

This kind of benefit in the schedule not only made Li You smile, but also everyone on the return plane was smiling.

Playing ball on a plane is not as comfortable as playing ball at home.

D'Antoni recently feels that he is going to heaven. He may win the championship in his first season coaching the Knicks. Compared with coaching the Nuggets before, it is better to choose than to work hard!

The coaching staff also had a drink on the plane at this time. The team had two days off. Facing the Nets, they still had a big advantage in their lineup.

Perhaps he drank too much whiskey. Assistant coach Crawford touched his bald head and suddenly sighed in a low voice:

"Coaching the Knicks is definitely a good thing. When Jeff goes to Cleveland, he won't be able to enjoy life in New York."

Another assistant coach, Andy Greer, somewhat understands the bald young coach, but he is not optimistic that he can succeed in Cleveland:

"After two days of the lottery ceremony, the Cavaliers will definitely get the first pick."

"It is said that Cleveland will prepare a grand welcome ceremony for him and welcome him and the talented high school student together."

"The savior of Cleveland sports, even if he doesn't win a championship, Jeff will never get such treatment in New York."

Greg, the head trainer of the Knicks, curled his lips when he heard what the two said, and then whispered:

"Do you think coaches should enjoy the same exposure as star players? Forget it, in modern basketball, there is only one big shot like Pat Riley."

"Jeff has too many extravagant expectations, and the ball market is also an important factor. Which player would like to play in Cleveland?"

"Michael, if you achieved the same thing in the future, would you choose to leave New York?"

D'Antoni, who was also drinking a small drink, had already thrown his coat aside, unbuttoned two more shirt buttons, and answered the question casually:

"After leaving New York, has Lee retired? When he retires, I will no longer coach, and I should leave here by then."

“Manhattan is too busy for an old person like me.”

The three of them were speechless. Li You would have to retire for at least 10 years. By then, D'Antoni would indeed be an old man. They realized that this man was going to hug his thigh and not let go!

On the night of the 13th, in the two Western Conference semifinals, the team that returned to home won another victory.

93:112, the Mavericks won the battle of Tianwang Mountain!

Chris Webber suffered an injury, and the Mavericks' Nowitzki and Finley also performed mediocrely.

Fortunately, Nash ushered in an explosion, hitting 12 of 5, 16 of 15 free throws, and scored a game-high 25 points!

If they win this game, the Mavericks will have a high probability of reaching the conference finals.

The game between the Lakers and Spurs was deadlocked until the last quarter.

The Lakers dug too many holes in the first half and lost by 38 points, 56:18. They rebounded strongly in the second half, but in the end they had no choice but to lose.

3.6 seconds before the end, Robert Horry hit the iron from beyond the three-point line. In the end, 94:96, the Spurs once again protected their home court, and the series score came to 3:2!

科比打满全场，31中15，三分线外11中5，罚球2中1，拿到了36分7篮板6助攻2抢断4失误的数据。

奥尼尔14中8，罚球7中4，拿到20分12篮板2助攻3盖帽5失误。

Popovich was overjoyed to win the game and praised his thigh again after the game:

"We played a perfect game in the first half. Although there were some problems on the defensive end in the second half, Tim's assists and David's jump shot still gave us the victory!"

"We will go all out in G6's away game!"

关键比赛波波维奇自然又是死磕邓肯，出场45分钟，22中11，罚球8中5，拿到27分14篮板5助攻1抢断1盖帽2失误的大号两双。

Tony Parker also performed very well, making 16 of 8 shots and contributing 21 points. Ginobili also scored 12 points.

In contrast, the Lakers' outside perimeter hit 22 of 6. Apart from Kobe, only Brian Shaw hit a three-pointer.

This situation is simply a replica of the Knicks' team in last year's Finals. They were unable to score from the outside, but the opponent had more opportunities to flourish.

After losing the game under such circumstances, Kobe Bryant did not explain the reason for his crazy move after the game. He only expressed his views to the sports media:

"I have tried my best and now I just want to focus on the next game!"

"."

On May 5, the NBA announced this season’s best defensive lineup:

The five members of the first team are:

Li You, Doug Christie, Ron Artest, Tim Duncan, Ben Wallace;

The five members of the second team are:

Jason Kidd, Kobe Bryant, Bruce Bowen, Kevin Garnett, Shaquille O'Neal.

Christie, who failed to make the defensive first team last year, seems to have been compensated. The coaches most likely took a look at the defensive efficiency value when voting.

After the list was announced, some people were naturally dissatisfied. Garnett, who fell in the first round, expressed doubts through media reporters:

"I'm the best frontcourt defensive player in the league. I don't know what's wrong with the selection now? The data means nothing at all!"

"If you only look at the data, why were Kobe Bryant and O'Neal selected to the defensive second team?"

"In terms of defensive efficiency, the two of them are not even in the top 50? Is it just because they were lucky enough to win a championship last year?"

"I don't understand this kind of selection. My defensive impact is better than Ron Artest! I should be selected to the defensive first team!"

Kevin Garnett seemed very excited when he expressed his stance to the media. He offended several people as soon as he opened his mouth. The tough guy who was counterattacked in the first round seemed to have broken his defense.

When the roster was announced in the morning, Yahoo Sports reported Garnett's complaints, and then the New York media also began to take offense. Artest, who entered the defensive line, also began to mock his opponents in an interview:

"Go look up my stats, go look at my games, look up who I'm playing against every night!"

"You know nothing about me. Go look at the data of the players I play against. The numbers don't lie!"

"I'm not like the thief from the Lakers who only uses his fame to get votes, and I'm not like that softie from the Timberwolves who only shouts loudly but lost the first round."

"."

The list of the best defensive team seems to be a trigger. The recently bored New York media took the opportunity to break out and prepare for some big things in the next half month!

In the evening, Li You rested at his home on 82nd Street in Manhattan and chatted with his agent Mark Bartelstein about the hook contract.

Ever since Kwame Brown failed with the Wizards, Mark Bartelstein has also been in a bad mood.

Even if McDuck retires and is likely to leave the Wizards in the future, this cute rookie still plans to leave the team!

Perhaps because he spent too much time fighting with the Wizards management, Mark Bartelstein has not gained much recently. This time he lost the battle for LeBron James to well-known agent Aaron Goodwin.

Mark Bartelstein, who was drinking black tea in the study, was a little haggard, his hair volume had decreased significantly, and there were some bloodshot eyes. He missed out on several potential rookies in the 03 class, which really cost him a lot:

"Hook will definitely agree to your personal brand and will also hand over a lifetime contract."

"Your influence in China is more exaggerated than they think, and they will not miss this huge market."

"As for sales dividends, the other party will definitely put forward harsh conditions. In fact, because Michael Jordan has interfered with the operation of Hook, the other party also plans to take back his shares."

"They seem to have discussed this matter internally by recycling the shares in exchange for sales dividends."

"The only thing worth discussing at the moment is the dividend ratio. It will be difficult for us to reach an agreement in a short time, and we also need legal services!"

"After you retire, in order to prevent the other party from turning their backs and denying their credit, we have to protect our rights and interests when signing the contract."

Li You secretly took a breath of cold air. Under the large desk, Scarlett held back her laughter and slowly increased her pace.

Controlling his expression, Li You then asked gossip:

"I almost forgot that Mykou still has shares in Hook. According to his character, he really wants to move further into the management and get more say."

"The dividend ratio is indeed a problem. My age is both an advantage and a disadvantage. After all, they will bite out the uncertainty of the future."

This issue involves a lot of US dollars, and the two sides will definitely have to fight internally. Mark Bartelstein made suggestions:

"There is another option. After the contract for the next two years is executed, we can formally discuss the dividend ratio."

"Gouzi has a China trip this year, or in other words, there will be activities every year in the future. They also want to see the effect. This can also alleviate the current minor conflicts."

"The timing is good. As long as you win the championship this year and further increase your influence, no one will give up the opportunity to win together."

Li You nodded, stretched out his hand and twisted Scarlett while still accelerating. As a result, the girl became even more aggressive.

Mark Bartelstein seemed to be thinking about the recent hot news again, and sighed softly:

"That Akron high school student is so popular!"

"It is said that after Cavaliers team reporter Chris Dennis broke the news that James was open to leaving his hometown to join other teams, agent Goodwin was bombarded with calls."

"It's such a cliche drama. Joining your hometown team and single-handedly changing Cleveland sports is the most perfect script!"

"David Stern has most likely prepared the stage for this rookie. In a few years, the league will publicize that he challenges you."

Li You has never paid attention to this news, but he knows that major sports media began to build momentum after the McDonald's All-Star Game:

"Challenge? No one in the Eastern Conference will be a rival to the Knicks in the future."

"On the contrary, the Pistons are lucky this year. They will definitely get the Grizzlies' 2003 first-round protected pick. After all, the first pick will definitely go to the Cavaliers."

Mark Bartelstein chuckled when he heard this. Jerry West of the Grizzlies must be extremely depressed. This pick was almost given away for free.

The two talked about the general arrangements for June again, and finally Mark Bartelstein waved his hands and said somewhat depressedly:

"I have to go back to Chicago early to see if I can sign some potential rookies. This is my last chance!"

Looking at the manager getting up and leaving, Li You could only send blessings:

"Mark, good luck to you! Say hello to the family for me!"

When there were only two people left in the study, Li You quickly took another breath of cold air, and the girl's breathing became heavier, and soon both of them let out a low breath.

As soon as Scarlett stood up from under the table, Kristen Ritter came to the study carrying two snacks.

The girl's face turned slightly red and she took a deep breath. Then she pretended to be fine and said in a hoarse voice:

"I was just going to get some cookies, Alyce, what would you like to drink?"

The little follower was wearing home clothes, with a ponytail and light makeup, but at this time he showed a confused expression:

"Lemon water is fine. I haven't had a good appetite lately. If I had known, I wouldn't have gone to Italy with you!"

Scarlett smiled and rolled her eyes at Li You, then twisted her waist and walked out of the study. Kristen Ritter handed Li You a cookie as if she was offering a treasure:

"Clay, try my handiwork, I've improved the recipe, it's not so sweet!"

The little follower said in a disgusted voice, and then suddenly wrinkled his nose, showing a suspicious look. Li You ate the cookie in his hand in one gulp: "It's delicious, Alyce! Where do you want to go to play at night?"

Christen-Litte was diverted when she heard the question, and then she quickly leaned into her ear and started acting coquettishly.

It was rare that they could stay in Manhattan for the rest of the schedule, so the three of them celebrated in the evening.

The lights in the bedroom were dim, and Kristen Little, who had just experienced a fierce confrontation, felt weak.

On the other side, Scarlett sneaked out of the big bed, took out the handheld camera prepared by the other party, turned it on, held it in her hand, and then chuckled.

Before the little follower could react, the naked girl held up the camera and hugged Li You from behind. She breathed quickly and teased in a hoarse voice:

"Alyce, you look so beautiful tonight! I must record this beautiful moment!"

The sound of cute laughter and slapstick filled the bedroom. Li You turned around and kissed the girl, pulled her to him, took the camera and penetrated her long body:

"You can always come up with new tricks!"

On May 5th, the Western Conference semifinals attracted the attention of a large number of fans.

Despite being behind by a big score, the fans in Los Angeles are extremely confident and firmly believe that the "OK" combination will defeat their opponents when they return to their home court!

上半场双方球员都表现得非常出色，邓肯更是彻底爆发，11中9，半场砍下了19分5篮板4助攻2失误的数据；

Parker also scored 13 points, and the Spurs blossomed again.

Facing David Robinson's top defense, O'Neal made 14 of 9 in the half, 5 of 3 free throws, and scored 21 points!

Kobe was even more efficient, shooting 7 of 6 and 1 of 1 from beyond the arc, scoring 13 points.

At 54:50, although the score was behind, the OK combination performed strongly. In the Staples Arena, the fans in Los Angeles were also in high spirits. Everyone firmly believed that the Lakers would win the game!

第3节比赛邓肯11中5，罚球6中4，全力输出，拿到14分5篮板1盖帽。

Under the leadership of this core player, the Spurs expanded their lead at 24:19 in a single quarter.

In the fourth quarter of the game, something happened that was unacceptable to Lakers fans. Kobe, who was scoring efficiently, started to hit the ground running.

The Lakers role players were unable to respond to the pass from the outside double team. O'Neal had difficulty catching the ball and watched the Spurs continue to play transition offense.

最后一节比赛，科比单节7中1，拿到2分1失误，奥尼尔4中2，贡献了5分2篮板。

In the end, the Spurs played a wave of offensive, 32:13 in a single quarter.

At the end of the game, 110:82, a big score of 4:2, successfully eliminated the defending champion and entered the Western Conference Finals again!

在这场极为关键的比赛中，出场42分钟，25中16，罚球7中5，蒂姆-邓肯爆砍37分16篮板4助攻2盖帽3失误。

帕克19中9，三分线外4中2，罚球10中7，拿到了27分1篮板5助攻2抢断3失误的数据。

In addition, Ginobili, who came off the bench, also contributed 12 points. All role players who came on the stage scored. The Spurs made 10 turnovers in the game and played a perfect game!

The Staples Center was still noisy after the game. The fans in Los Angeles broke the defense. There is no dynasty anymore!

Seeing the Spurs celebrating wildly, Popovich raised his arms and shouted, while Phil Jackson on the sidelines was so angry that he didn't want to speak.

O'Neal and Kobe did their best, but the Spurs were too brave and stretched their hips with outside shots. They really couldn't stand it anymore.

21中13，罚球10中5，拿到31分10篮板3助攻1抢断3盖帽1失误，出场38分钟的奥尼尔比赛结束后扭头就走。

科比坐在替补席上双手捂脸，19中9，三分线外5中2，罚球2中0，拿到20分2篮板6助攻1抢断7失误。

The performance in the fourth quarter ruined the Lakers' hopes of a comeback. Kobe could not accept this result and sat on the bench for a long time, unwilling to get up.

After winning this series, Duncan, who attended the press conference, also assured San Antonio fans:

"We will win the championship this season. This is a gift to the fans!"

"Before David retires, he will win the O'Brien Trophy. He has given everything for the Spurs, and we will help him realize this dream!"

David Robinson's eyes turned red when he heard this. Everyone on the Spurs team has united together this season. When he retires, he is very satisfied to be able to enjoy such a process:

"I take Tim's word for it, we're ready!"

O'Neal and Kobe, who attended the press conference on the other side, had big faces throughout and there was no communication between them.

When asked about his performance in the fourth quarter, Kobe glared at the ESPN reporter and then said calmly:

"My shooting touch was very good in the first half. In the fourth quarter, I just couldn't make the shot."

"There is no problem with my shot. I always believe that I can hit the shot next time!"

O'Neal was obviously dissatisfied with Kobe's offensive choices, and he didn't forget to be weird when answering the question:

"I have tried my best and I can still dominate the basket. Maybe there is a problem with the team's tactics. I will have a good chat with Phil in the offseason!"

When the two left the scene, they didn't even look at each other and left quickly with big faces on their faces.

With the defending champion out, the happiest people are naturally the New York media. From this moment on, they can laugh at their opponents to their heart's content!

In another Western Conference semifinal, 109:115, the Mavericks failed to seize the opportunity, and the two sides will engage in a tiebreaker.

On May 5, the NBA announced this season’s best lineup:

The five members of the first team are:

Li You, Tracy McGrady, Kevin Garnett, Tim Duncan, Shaquille O'Neal;

The five members of the second team are:

Jason Kidd, Kobe Bryant, Dirk Nowitzki, Chris Webber, Ben Wallace.

The five members of the third team are:

Steve Nash, Grant Hill, Paul Pierce, Jermaine O'Neal, Pau Gasol.

Three people from the Knicks were selected to the All-NBA team and became the biggest winners!

After the announcement of the best lineup, it failed to steal the hot news belonging to the Lakers. Football commentators were discussing the defeat of the defending champion in the Western Conference semifinals.

In the TNT program, the trio did not let go of this topic. After all, the Eastern Conference is dead now. If they really want to improve the ratings, they have to point at the Lakers.

"We shouldn't blame Kobe, he performed very well in this series! The Lakers' role players have a big problem."

Kenny Smith still played the role of a good old guy and did not follow the trend of criticizing Kobe's performance.

On the other side, Charles Barkley, who opened the technical statistics, said unceremoniously:

"Then who is responsible for the Lakers' loss, Phil Jackson? Or Shaquille O'Neal?"

"You can't blame the role players for losing. Their salaries are not that high!"

"Kobe performed well, averaging 32.3 points per game, shooting 43.4% from the field, 44.1% from three-point range, and 78.8% from the free throw line."

"His usage rate in this series is very high, averaging 4.5 turnovers per game. If I were to choose the reason for the loss, I still think Kobe took too many shots."

"Averaging 26.5 shots per game, he should give the ball to Shaq more often. He is not Lee, nor is he Michael Jordan!"

"He should realize that his performance in the playoffs every year is weaker than in the regular season, and his efficiency will decline in the playoffs."

Ernie Johnson interrupted the two of them and said seriously:

"Shaq did a good job, but I think his toe injury affected his performance and he could have avoided that."

"Perhaps like what Lee said, Shaq is satisfied. The losses this season should be counted from the regular season. As the leader of the team, he should be responsible for the losses."

O'Neal was not restricted in this series and could still average 25.3 points per game, shooting 55.9% from the field and 63.3% from the free throw line.

"Average 17 shots per game? Why does Shaq take less than 20 shots?"

"When a team has a particularly good big man, why not get the ball into his hands more often?"

The director gave the data, and Charles Barkley began to ask questions again, and then asked and answered himself, making out something out of nothing:

"Kobe may be dissatisfied with Shaq's core position, but he must realize that he is not strong enough."

"We praise Michael Jordan and Lee because their performance in the playoffs during the championship season was better than the regular season!"

"I never like to discuss Lee like a data expert, but the fact is that his efficiency in his third year as a rookie was far higher than that of all players."

"Kobe can't perform like this. He should realize that he has to give the ball to teammates on the team who perform better."

"I respect coach Phil Jackson very much, but after losing this season he should make changes. He must establish who is the core of the team."

Kenny Smith feels that Kobe's agent will send them a lawyer's letter sooner or later. Although the data is true, it is still a bit too much to belittle a player like this:

"Chuck, you shouldn't hold other players to the standards of Lee and McQueen. They are at another level."

"I only hope that the Lakers can effectively strengthen after the end of this season, and the OK combination still has room for improvement!"

Charles Barkley pouted. He even wanted to invite Kobe to live on the line, but he didn't care at all when he received complaints.

As long as the ratings of the show increased, he would continue to criticize these players. Looking at his partner, Charles Barkley vowed:

"No one can stop the Knicks anymore, Lee will win the fifth championship in his career!"

"This offseason we can finally discuss the best topic in history!"

"."

The Knicks had resumed training at this time. At the Tarrytown Training Center, the morning video session ended and everyone was congratulating the three people who were selected to the best team.

Pau Gasol is very satisfied with being selected to the All-NBA Third Team. This is only the second season of his career.

Grant Hill was not surprised. Although he averaged less than 20 points per game, it was a matter of course that he was selected for the best third team due to the team's record.

Artest was very envious. Although he was selected to the All-Defensive Team, he was not satisfied.

"If I can score a few more points, maybe I can be selected for the best team!"

Stephen Jackson, who was sitting aside, heard this and said immediately:

"The number of shots is limited. We rank first in the league in the number of rounds, but there are only so many data. It is not an easy task to score a few more points."

"Hey! Bro, be happy! The best defensive team, you will get a big contract in the offseason!"

Jackson hammered Artest. For role players, the contract is the most important. Incentive clauses are prepared for stars. He just wants to get more salary.

Before lunch, Li You was also blocked by the New York media who were watching the excitement. A reporter from the New York Times asked with a smile:

"Lee, what do you think of the Lakers losing?"

After practicing more and more in the past few days, Li You felt physically and mentally comfortable. When he heard this question, he also joked:

"I like the headlines today, but I'm not surprised the Lakers lost."

"That's all they can accomplish. I've said it for a long time. Shaq is satisfied. I'm happy to see him improve his free throw shooting, but unfortunately, he lost control of the team."

"It's not easy to lead the team to a championship. He still has a lot to learn!"

"Maybe he should learn to compromise instead of competing with his teammates in the locker room. Kobe has performed very well this season. Shaq should also be lucky to have such a partner."

The New York Times and the New York Post jointly organized activities today. The news headlines of the two newspapers were:

"Where is Shark?"

"Where is Kobe?"

Naturally, the column article has no useful information. When it comes to Excel, O'Neal is still very good, so everyone started to export Kobe.

The reporter from Yahoo Sports did not expect that Li You's prediction was completely correct. At this time, he asked again:

"Lee, which team in the Western Conference do you think will eventually reach the Finals?"

"It depends on the health of the team, and it's a pity that the Kings had injuries first. This is an opportunity for the Mavericks."

"The same goes for the conference finals. Don't forget that the Spurs and Mavericks have very good records this season."

After Li You answered seriously, an ESPN reporter on the other side asked a question:

"Lee, the Lakers lost, do you think Kobe should take more responsibility? His performance in the 4th quarter last night was really bad."

Li You, who is busy breaking double teams every night, does not pay attention to Kobe's specific data, but there is a fixed template for answering this kind of question:

"Leaders need to take responsibility for losing. That's Shaq's problem. Just like when I lost the Finals last year, my performance was not good enough."

"Kobe should continue to be himself. Top stars should have this awareness and believe that their next shot will definitely hit!"

“I talked about that on ‘Win’ with Tim Grover.”

"The content in the book is all our experience. I understand Kobe's potential. All he has to do is believe in his talent!"

On May 5, in the tiebreaker that night, 17:69, the Mavericks had the last laugh and successfully reached the Western Conference Finals!

The battle between cows and horses is about to begin, and the Western Conference Finals will officially begin on the night of the 19th.

On the 18th, everyone from the Nets took a bus to Manhattan in the morning.

Although Kidd has been shouting in front of the New Jersey media these days, football commentators rarely discuss them, and the second team has been ignored again.

That day happened to be Sunday, and the Eastern Conference finals officially started at 20:.

An hour before the game, a large number of New York fans were busy outside Madison Square Garden.

Leziren designed a simple missing persons poster, with a series of eye-catching words at the top:

"MISSING PERSON"

Below the words are photos of the players, and the Lezi people also specially selected some painful expressions.

Some New York fans held up posters of missing person Kobe Bryant, while others held up posters of O'Neal.

Before the game started, a wild DJ brought his own sound system and shouted loudly outside the arena. Two groups of people holding posters cheered:

"Where is Shark? Where is Kobe?"
