NBA Legends Manager

Chapter 245 Poisonous Milk!

After the game that night, the fans couldn't wait to start posting their own comments: "Wow, this Western Conference semifinals is too exciting."

"Haha, every game is more exciting than the next one. The game between the Thunder and the Spurs is really intense!"

"That's right, the Eastern Conference semifinals are far behind. Although the score is very tight, it's too hard, it's not good to watch."

"Haha, I also watched the Eastern Conference semifinals last night. The final score between the Heat and the Pacers was 78:75. That iron fight is horrible!"

"By the way, I think the Hornets may not be able to break out of the West. The Spurs and Thunder are both very good!"

"I think so too!"

"I'm looking forward to watching the matchup between the Hornets and the Thunder. Both sides are players chosen by Presti himself. It will definitely be very intense!"

"Haha, former and current are always going to be wonderful!"

………………

On May 5, the game between the Hornets and the Lakers began soon. Before the game, Presti accepted an interview with reporters!

"Presti, although you won the game last game, the last moment was still thrilling, especially in the middle of the fourth quarter, when Kobe made consecutive hits, chasing the point difference from 18 points to 8 points! Will you have any targeted strategies tonight?"

Presti said with a smile: "Kobe is a historical player. You can't say that it is completely restricted. We can only make it difficult for him to play, and that's all. Of course, once he enters the state, then he is unstoppable. Then we can only pray."After Presti finished speaking, he secretly said in his heart: "Let's do some poisonous milk first!"

Immediately afterwards, the reporter went to interview Curry again: "Curry, how many quarters are you going to end the battle tonight?"

Curry gave an "ah" in surprise at first, and then said with a smile: "Dude, are you kidding? The opposite is the Lakers. It's not easy for us to win the game."

The reporter continued to ask: "In the last game, you scored 5 three-pointers and finally scored 28 points and 6 assists. It can be said to be very good. So what do you expect from tonight's performance?"

Curry said with a smile: "I still go all out tonight, I believe the final result will not be bad!"

………………

On the other hand, the reporter interviewed D'Antoni: "In the last game, the Lakers scored more points than the Hornets in the first quarter, the second quarter and the fourth quarter, but lost more than ten points in the third quarter. The Hornets are best at breaking out in the third quarter. So today, how will you limit the Hornets who may break out in the third quarter?"

D'Antoni said with a smile: "The reason why we fell behind so much in the third quarter in the last game was that we were playing at their rhythm and didn't give full play to our own advantages. When we went back, we watched the video together and discussed with each other. No matter how the opponent's rhythm changes, we will follow our own rhythm, and the situation like last time will not happen again!"

"You worked with Presti for a while, and as far as we know, you went to the Hornets because he invited you. What do you think of Presti?"

D'Antoni said earnestly: "Presti is a person who loves basketball very much. During the time we worked together, we talked about basketball the most. Perhaps it is because he loves basketball so much that his team will always be so special. You have seen his winning percentage since he became a coach, and various tactics that emerge in an endless stream."

"So what do you think of playing against Presti this time?" the reporter continued to ask.

"It's very interesting. I've been looking forward to this kind of duel for a long time. When we discussed tactics together, we would get red-faced. Now we have the opportunity, isn't it?" D'Antoni said with a smile.

After that, the reporter interviewed Kobe again: "Kobe, what do you think of today's game?"

Kobe said very seriously: "I will go all out and do my best to win this game!"

"Curry played very well in the last game, what do you think?" The reporter thought of a question that could increase the topic!

Kobe glanced at the reporter and said: "I will defend him personally in this game!"

When the reporter heard this, he immediately shot wildly!They are waiting for such a topic. If Curry does not perform well in this game, then they can write: "Curry is the will of the All-Star? Kobe told you not!" If Curry's statistics are good, Kobe is not defending, and it can be written: "Defend Curry? Sorry, you are old!"

………………

Half an hour later, when the Hornets appeared on the court through the player tunnel, the New Orleans Arena was boiling again!
In the last game, although the fans' response was very enthusiastic, it did not meet Presti's heart's request. The crazy level of Chesapeake Energy Stadium is what Presti expected!
So, again, Presti has added staff in every small area, and these staff are responsible for mobilizing the emotions of the fans!The purpose of doing this is not only to cheer for the players, to help them perform better, but most importantly, to put pressure on the opposing players, especially the position behind the basketball hoop. Presti distributed various noise props to everyone!Once the opponent makes a free throw, interfere with all your strength!
In fact, NBA teams are like this, which is one of the reasons why the home win rate is often much higher than the away game.

"Since Presti arrived, the atmosphere in the New Orleans stadium is really different from before," David Wesley said excitedly.

"Presti was the general manager of the Thunder before, and he enjoyed the crazy fans there. How could he endure the desertedness of the New Orleans arena before? There will definitely be targeted rectification," Barkley laughed.

"I just watched the news. In this game, Kobe made it clear that he will mainly defend Curry. What statistics do you think Curry will get in this game?" David Wesley asked with great interest.

"I remember that in the previous confrontation, Kobe defended Curry very well, so in today's game, Curry's statistics will definitely not be good!" Barkley affirmed.

"But that was before. Don't you think Curry has improved a lot? And Kobe is getting old," David Wesley said differently.

"If you don't believe me, let's watch the next game." Barkley smiled.

When the player introduction is over, the players from both sides walk to the middle, and the referee throws the ball up!

The game officially begins!
Hornets starters: Curry, Thompson, Paul George, David West, Whiteside

Lakers starters: Sessions, Kobe, Ebanks, Gasol, Bynum
Bynum won again with a jump ball, and Kobe took the ball and quickly pushed it to the frontcourt!
Drop low, misplace Curry!

Without the slightest hesitation, he turned around and got out of the way!

Layup hit!

0: 2!
