NBA's strongest prince

388 Good start
The Lakers originally thought that they would have a good chance of winning two games when they returned home, but the Suns were unexpectedly strong. They were lucky to win that game before.

Now they don't have extravagant hopes, but they have to keep the next game at home, right?
It's a pity that the more you worry about something, the more something will come. The Lakers may be in a state early in this game. At the end of the quarter, they couldn't stand it anymore.

In fact, there are some jokes, obviously this is their home field, and it seems that their physical strength can't keep up.

It seems that it is not too much physical exertion, but too much pressure from the sun.

I really can't relax at all, it can't just be a small burst of scoring, but the defense is still so good.

Of course, Kobe really consumed a lot, and his shooting percentage dropped significantly in the final quarter.

The Lakers finally switched to the pitching lineup to give it a try, but Vujacic missed a three-pointer and Fisher missed a three-pointer. Then Kobe forced two shots and missed, and the game ended flatly.

There is only time for foul tactics to be carried out once, because there is really no need.

The Suns won again and won the match point in the away game, leading the series 3:1.

In the Western Conference finals, the Lakers are already standing on the edge of a cliff.

After the game, the head coach of the Lakers, Jackson, was a little restless. He said with some displeasure: "Many of the Suns' flanking moves against Kobe are questionable. I'm surprised that the referee didn't stop it."

Kobe himself was relatively rational. He said: "That problem is not the key to our losing the game. You know, the game is like this."

Russell said: "Winning this game is a very important step for us. Tonight we won a key game in this special stadium, which is really very meaningful to us."

D'Antoni confronted Zen Master. He said: "We are in an away game. In fact, many penalties are somewhat controversial. We are the one that suffers. The difference is that we still won the victory."

After the game, the media wrote articles one after another, believing that under the leadership of Russell, the Suns will advance with a high probability.

They also talked about what it would be like if the Suns defended their crown again.

Russell has now adapted to the media's praise of the team, just like how they looked at the Black Sun.

Russell will not be angry, nor will he be misled by the media.

The sun's goal is to defend the title again, but the goal can only be achieved by playing back on the court.

Back at home, Russell told his teammates to be more focused, and they wanted to win on their own turf.

At the end of May, in Game [-] of the Western Conference Finals, the two sides still had their original starting lineups.

The Lakers also don't seem to like changing formations, which is different from the two opponents the Suns encountered before.

Tough, this is the feeling the Lakers gave Russell at the beginning of the game.

But it's just tough, the Lakers players are a bit too hard, and the shooting percentage is not very good at the beginning.

Especially Gasol, defense, grabbing offensive rebounds and second offense are a little different from before.

But the technical insiders play like this, the handwork is not as good as before, and the two goals are the last one.

There is no doubt that the players of the Lakers are determined, and Kobe also kept calm, and did not ignore it at the beginning, but unfortunately their strength is still a little bit worse.

With Ray Allen's second [-]-pointer, the Suns gained another lead.

The Lakers have a taste of not using the right place, and the mentality of the players is going to be problematic.

Why is the sun so hard to beat, this time it really won't give it a way out at the beginning.

It is true that in front of home fans, the Suns have to play more smoothly, and there is no way for home court advantage.

This is not just a matter of the referee's scale, but also the mentality of the players. They are much more relaxed in their own territory, and they are more confident on the offensive end.

"Come on, man, we can't just go home like this." Kobe encouraged his teammates loudly.

He is very unwilling now, there are obviously opportunities ahead, why are the Lakers standing on the edge of the cliff now.

And they came up in the posture of mourning soldiers, but it didn't have any effect.

During the rotation period, the Suns were still stronger, but the Lakers didn't make any three-pointers.

The score gap once reached double digits, and Kobe couldn't bear it anymore and started to take over the game early.

Their head coach, Jackson, has no choice. The Lakers feel like they are about to collapse. Now he can only force himself to be calm, and then look at Kobe's strength.

There is no doubt that Kobe still has two brushes, and he stood up when the team needed to score.

Suns coach D'Antoni is also considering whether to attack in advance, but now they have locked almost all other Lakers teams, and are also worried that changes in defensive strategies will change.

Of course, whether it is Kobe or other Lakers players, the Suns are strictly guarded against three-pointers.

However, the Suns also had a small problem. With the Lakers' defense more fierce, Russell increased his shots, but the shooting percentage was not ideal.

This situation will definitely exist, and Russell can only adjust gradually.

So in the second quarter, the two teams fought for defense and stars.

As far as a single quarter is concerned, Kobe is still more powerful, and his difficult middle distance is amazing.

Russell is also very envious. The opponent has a lot of moves, which are difficult to do with Russell's physical fitness.

Don’t look at Russell’s shots that seem extremely difficult sometimes, and people will call it impossible, but he is actually forced, like some players with beastly physical fitness, directly pulling up or falling back, ordinary players can’t do it .

Russell can't do seemingly normal difficult movements, he can only do some unconventional ones.

Because those moves are relatively rare on the field, everyone thinks he is exceptionally powerful.

No one would have thought that the insider was a little helpless. Of course, Russell would still firmly catch the praise from the outside world.

So in the case of Kobe going crazy ahead of time, the Lakers still narrowed the score gap between the two teams to single digits in the second quarter.

"Whether there will be a sixth game in the series depends largely on Kobe now."

"Yes, there is still a gap in the strength of other Lakers players. Gasol has worked very hard, but there is still a certain gap between him and Stoudemire."

"Actually, the Lakers' poor defense is at the No. [-] position. Russell's shooting percentage only depends on his own touch. The Lakers didn't cause him more trouble. The Lakers are too contemptuous of defense now."

After the intermission, a more intense confrontation will begin. The two teams are now stepping up to analyze the details, and at the same time let the players rest for a while to replenish their strength.

"Before I was a little anxious, I should be more stable." Russell said to everyone.

But immediately a few players flattered him. Russell, the boss of the team, did not have face in general.

Of course, Russell just mentioned it as an introduction to the topic. The team is still ahead, and everyone in the locker room is happier.

Therefore, we should be more cautious in the second half, and we should not be too happy to be sad.
