Chapter 538 Unspeakable
Xu Tian stood on the sidelines and watched the game time go by every minute until the final whistle sounded.

Draymond Green and his teammates who walked off the field high-fived and celebrated passionately.His mentality was a little out of balance by Xu Tian in the first two games, and he was able to beat the Lakers heartily, allowing him to completely vent his previous emotions.

Xu Tian looked at the fans who basically did not leave the field, then walked into the player tunnel with a calm expression, and returned to the locker room.

The Lakers locker room was quiet, and almost everyone was depressed, sitting or standing thinking about their own problems.

Xu Tian walked into the bathroom, washed off the sweat on his body briefly, dried his right hand with one hand, put on his sportswear, walked back to the locker room with a calm expression, and asked the team staff: "Guys, what's the news after the match?" When does the press conference start?"

Kobe is very familiar with the playoff process, saying: "As long as you adjust, you can start at any time."

Xu Tian said, "I'm ready."

Kobe's mood is a bit complicated, but after all, he has to face the fact that the Warriors are 0-3 behind in the series. At the same time, he also knows that he is likely to end his career in a suit.

The staff knew that Xu Tian wanted to attend the post-game press conference, so they informed the reporters who were in charge of interviewing the Lakers players, and told them to go to the arranged location for post-game interviews.

After the NBA playoffs, there are often two players who will go to the post-game conference.Attending the press conference tonight are George and Xu Tian.

George and Xu Tian were thinking about their own thoughts, but neither of them spoke.

Xu Tian looked at the extremely familiar but slightly unfamiliar aisle, and the uncontrollable thought of being eliminated soon appeared in his mind, and he couldn't calm down no matter what.It wasn't until he saw a large number of reporters that he finally figured it out.

Brad Windhorst waited until Xu Tian and George sat on the chairs, and first asked: "Xu, what do you think of the Lakers trailing 0-3?" His tone was very low, which made people feel unconscious To a little depressing.

"This means that we need to win four games in a row to reach the finals." Xu Tian's expression was still calm.

Brad Windhorst asked: "Do you feel that the Lakers' journey this season is over?"

Xu Tian said: "We still have at least one game to play, it's too early to talk about the end of the season."

"Los Angeles Times" reporter Brad Turner asked: "Xu, you returned to the locker room at the end of the third quarter. It is reported that your left finger was contused. Will this injury affect your performance?"

Xu Tian replied: "No. It's not an injury at all, it's just a small trouble, and it won't affect the game."

Brad Turner got to the point: "You were leading by three points in the first half of this game, but suddenly collapsed after the second half. What do you think is the reason?"

George was very depressed. Seeing that Xu Tian responded quickly, he didn't make a sound, and sat beside him and listened quietly.

Xu Tian said: "I haven't watched the video of the game yet, so I don't know exactly what happened."

Brad Turner then asked another question: "The Lakers completed the miracle of four consecutive reversals in the Western Conference semifinals. Do you think they can reproduce that historic performance in the Western Conference Finals?"

"What we have to do now is to forget about the big score and play every game as a tie-break. As for the final result, it is not what needs to be considered now."

Ramona attended the press conference on behalf of Jenny Buss and asked, "Xu, how much hope do you think the Lakers have of winning the series?"

Xu Tian thought for a while, and said, "Our chances of winning the series with the Warriors should be about the same. They have a slightly higher chance of advancing."

Ramona worried that Xu Tian's answer would be exaggerated, and asked: "The Warriors are currently leading 3-0. Almost all the teams that have achieved such a lead in the past many years have advanced to the next round. Why do you say that the odds are similar?" ?”

"Before being finally eliminated, there is always hope of winning the next game, so as long as you can fight for the next game. From this perspective, the chances of both sides advancing are indeed similar."

Kobe believed that the other players did not help Xu Tian enough, so he thought hard and couldn't think of any way to encourage them.He is now hit by three consecutive losses, and his mind has never been clear.

Scott, the head coach, took the initiative and said: "Guys! We are all a bit messy tonight, and it is not suitable to talk about the game, so I announce that you all leave the stadium quickly, go back and rest your spirits, and prepare for the next first. Four games."

The players felt that the atmosphere in the locker room was a bit depressing, and the occasional cheers from the visiting team's locker room made them want to leave here and find a quiet place to be alone.So when they heard Scott's words, they didn't make a sound, packed their things silently, and left the arena one after another.

After attending the press conference, George and Xu Tian returned to the locker room, only to find that there were only a few staff members who had to stay, and they did not communicate with each other. They went to their respective lockers and sorted out their personal belongings before calling. Say hello, and then walk out of the arena respectively.

Xu Tian never showed his fragility to outsiders, and he was worried that his lack of self-confidence would affect his teammates, so he was always holding on until he got in Boss Jin's car, and he had a tinge of embarrassment on his face. lost.

The reality that the Lakers trailed the Warriors 0-3 weighed heavily on his heart like a mountain, making it difficult for him to even breathe smoothly.

The feeling of lead-filled legs and the pain in the left hand are far less intense than the sense of loss in my heart.This feeling is really sad.

Boss Jin is a die-hard Lakers fan, his feelings are not much stronger than Xu Tian's, and he can't find words to comfort him.The silence of the two made the sound of the engine particularly harsh.

Los Angeles fans, it's bound to be a sleepless night.They thought that the team might not be able to beat the Warriors, but they never thought that it would be so embarrassing.

Xu Tian returned to Walnut City and took off the guards and bandages on his fingers so that the blood could flow smoothly.Then he took off his shoes and applied ice packs to his ankles.

Alice sat next to him and helped Xu Tian get what he needed without making a sound.

Xu Tian was thinking about something while applying ice, and felt that he should do something, so he asked Alice to help him take out his phone from his pocket, and sent a group text message to his teammates.Now they need a players meeting.

Alice used Twitter and INS on her mobile phone to scan the news about the Western Conference Finals. Seeing Draymond Green's remarks that the Warriors would sweep the Lakers, she hesitated for a moment, but decided to let Xu Tian take a look.

Xu Tian took Alice's phone, looked at the ink letters on the phone, and didn't make any comments.
