I feel hot in the NBA

Chapter 293 Discussion after the game
Kobe scored 47 points tonight, and he made all the shots he should have made and the ones he shouldn't have made!
But he is still very unhappy!
Of course, this is also normal. The 33-year-old Kobe has already passed the stage of looking at statistics. Even if he only scored 10 points now, if the team wins the game, he will be very... well, he has to perform well, otherwise, he still feels very unhappy.

But this evening, he did everything he should do, but in the end he didn't have the result he hoped for, and the result was very embarrassing!
They were overwhelmed by the Mavericks throughout the game, especially after the second half. They never took the lead, let alone lead, even if they narrowed the point difference to less than 8 points.

This is obviously unacceptable for Kobe!
So he faced the media tonight, it can be said that he was extremely angry!
However, if he really wanted to say it, his dissatisfaction was not only because the team lost, but also because the Mavericks lost to the game. This game made him realize that maybe they really might not be able to win the championship this year!

To win this season's championship and once again aspire to the league, this is Kobe's only thought at present, and it is also where all the remaining fighting spirit lies!
After all, as long as he can win this year's championship, he can bring Los Angeles three consecutive championships like O'Neal did. O'Neal did all this with his help back then, but there is no guy like O'Neal by his side. This proves in disguise that even without O'Neal, he can also win three consecutive championships.

More importantly, with this three-peat championship, his number of rings will be equal to that of Michael Jordan, and if he can really win this three-peat championship, then the Lakers will have no problems in trading and strengthening next year.

If he is allowed to win another three consecutive championships, then he may not have the opportunity to surpass Michael Jordan and write a new legend!
This is the root cause of his continuous efforts.

However, the Lakers have internal and external troubles this season. First, various injuries have come to them. Second, Phil Jackson’s contract has expired and he has not signed a contract.

To be honest, meeting Kobe in the semifinals is what Kobe wants to see, because if they can beat this team, it will be beneficial for the Lakers to run in. This will make them perform better in the Western Conference Finals and the Finals. He has been in the league for so many years. As for the experts saying that the Mavericks always lose the chain in the playoffs, he has never considered it at all. From the configuration of the lineup, the ability of the players, and the mental state of the entire team, it can be seen that this team is impossible to lose the chain like before!

And the fact is, as they expected, the Mavericks always maintained a pressing force in the first round against the Hornets, and passed the first round with ease.

Kobe did not misread the Mavericks, but after today's match, he found that he also underestimated the Mavericks. He thought that the current Lakers and the Mavericks were still capable of fighting.
But what he didn't expect was that the Mavericks played steadily and smoothly. The entire offense was unstoppable due to the large number of offensive points and the many organizers. The Lakers' "three towers" could only barely be restricted. He tried his best, but in the end he could barely keep the team from entering garbage time early. This was something he didn't expect!
He really didn't expect that the gap between his team and the Mavericks would be so big, and he couldn't even make up for it with such an outstanding performance!

This is the reason why he was really so angry, because after this game, he knew very well that if the Lakers want to win, they must show their strength from last season, plus his explosive seed. Otherwise, winning two games is already considered their best effort, and it is impossible to enter the next round.

And if they can't make it to the next round, Kobe's dream of three consecutive championships will be broken, and it will be a huge problem for the Lakers to strengthen in the future. Kobe's next dream of three consecutive championships will be even more difficult to even think about!
……

"Do you think you're going to come back to Los Angeles with a 0-2 down score?"

"I can't know such a thing. The only thing I want to say is that we still have a chance, because this is only the first game of the series, and we still have a chance!"

Phil Jackson was also being interviewed, and it can be seen from his slightly incoherent interview that he still couldn't accept the loss of this game.

In fact, before the start of the game, he was full of self-confidence. He thought that with the lineup he researched, he could give the Mavericks a head start, but what he didn't expect was that the targets he studied did not have a big enough impact on the Mavericks. The team only encountered some troubles, and quickly cleared them up.

This also made him a little at a loss, because the Lakers exposed too many weaknesses in the first game, while the opposing Mavericks played very well in the first game, and there was very little information that could be collected.

***
"Nowitzki scored 34 points against Kobe Bryant's 47 points, the first game of the second round of the playoffs, a passionate collision between two superstars!"

"Kobe Bryant's 47 points could not prevent the Lakers from losing, and the Mavericks won the first game of the series with great strength!"

"3 minutes and 15 minutes, the miracle moment came to the center of the flight line, Lin crazy faced Kobe Bryant!"

Reports about the game came out soon after the game. For this game, more media reports will naturally focus on Nowitzki and Kobe Bryant!

After all, these two people are representatives of modern basketball, one person, one city. Kobe has been with the Lakers since he entered the league in 96, and Nowitzki is the same. He has been in Dallas since he entered the league in 98.

More importantly, there have been a lot of transfer news for Kobe. Among them, he was close to transferring to the Bulls in 07. Otherwise, if the Lakers owner Bass came forward to persuade him to stay, Kobe is now wearing a Bulls jersey. Of course, Rose can enter the Bulls differently!

But Nowitzki never put forward the idea of ​​transferring, no matter when he was "black eight", "black seven", or when he was at his best, he always signed his name immediately when it was time to renew his contract.

The friendship between him and Cuban has become a well-known story in the entire industry: one wants as much as he wants, and the other gives as much as he wants, but the one who wants it feels that he has given too much to the other, while the one who gave feels that he has given less!
Moreover, these two are already veterans of the league, and they are both players who will definitely enter the Hall of Fame in the future, and the number of times they meet in the playoffs is also one of the few.

This is also the reason why so many fans pay attention to this round of the series, not to mention that these two players have exploded with great energy as soon as they come up. One scored 34 points and the other scored 47 points.
Apart from these two guys, the most reported player is Lin Yang. Apart from the fact that this guy scored the highest 23 points other than these two, he is also the only player from the two teams to get a 20-plus double-double. More importantly, he played a "miracle moment" again!
Most of the fans who are familiar with Lin Yang are familiar with him because of his "miracle moment", and the new fans are willing to watch him play because of his sudden appearance and terrifying scoring power.

It’s just that since entering the playoffs, the number of times this guy started the “miracle moment” has become less and less. Many fans, especially new fans, think that Lin Yang has been restrained. Many of them even think that Lin Yang’s “miracle moment” will only appear in the regular season, so they no longer pay attention to Lin Yang!

But now, Lin Yang suddenly played the "miracle moment" again in the series between the Mavericks and the Lakers. Especially the fans who watched the game know how wonderful and timely this "miracle moment" is.

"The confrontation between Lin and Kobe was so exciting. I'll go. I was thinking, is this guy really a rookie? It's not stage fright at all!"

"Kobe really almost made the Mavericks suffer more in this game, but it's a pity that that team has Lin!"

"This really stunned me. To be honest, the only thing I don't feel comfortable with is that this time the confrontation took too much time. I just thought that this game will be very exciting. It almost reached the situation where sparks hit the earth, but the whistle of the game sounded at this time!"

The most talked about by the fans is naturally the confrontation between Lin Yang and Kobe in less than 1 minute. Kobe made every three-pointer very difficult.

Although Lin Yang's three-pointers are not that difficult, shooting against people or something, but he can respond to these goals at that time, which is a very awesome thing in itself!

The well-known scout and the famous "draft godfather" Marty Blake also updated his Twitter this night and wrote a long article: "I have been thinking why I love the NBA so much and love this league. Now I understand it, because miracles can always happen here. If it weren't for the Celtics, we wouldn't know what the dynasty team with 8 consecutive championships looked like; if it wasn't for Jordan, we wouldn't know that someone could interpret the dominance to that degree on the court. Similarly, if it wasn't for Lin, we wouldn't know. A newcomer has infinite potential, whether it is the first-round rookie, the No.30 rookie in the first round, or the second-round rookie. I don’t know when or where. The rookie can always bring some shocks to the league. We are collecting data on rookies every year. However, Lin’s appearance made me think about such a question. Apart from the data, do we have other aspects that need to be paid attention to, such as the ability at critical moments, and the ability to deal with some changes on the court? Of course , Another point, which is more important, is the explosive power of the players themselves!"

"Lin proved to us that the possibilities are endless for anyone!"

He is very touched by Lin Yang's explosion. Of course, there is a reason for this. When he was a scout, he sent some rookies who were not optimistic at the time to the league, such as "Big Bug" Rodman, and Ben Wallace. He recommended it to the New York Knicks when he was just starting out as a scout.

Of course, the "best rookie" with the lowest draft pick is Lin Yang!

And on the night when Lin Yang broke out, he suddenly seemed to have found a time to tell his theory, and couldn't wait to talk about his theory again on his Twitter.
