Chapter 559 Acceptance
After the Lakers won Game [-] of the Western Conference Finals, the price of home tickets for Game [-] doubled again, but there was still no price.Many Lakers fans stayed on the ticket website for several hours, but still failed to get tickets.

Los Angeles fans have a passion that can't be expressed anywhere. There are more fans who come to Los Angeles Airport to pick up the plane than all the games.

The news of Xu Tian roaring in the locker room has been released by the media. Almost all fans think that he is under a lot of pressure, so they want to express their support for him with practical actions.

On the afternoon when the Lakers players returned to Los Angeles, Magic Johnson accepted the invitation of Jimmy Chicken Feather Show to talk about some recent events of the Lakers.He's got a flair for comedy and the interviews work really well.

Xu Tian didn't think about the previous five games, turned them into a 2-3 figure, and devoted himself to training to prepare for the sixth game in Los Angeles.

Kobe was in the other half of the court, practicing shooting alone, adapting to the shooting rhythm after strength training.He couldn't wait for his comeback. He showed his [-]-point spirit, regained his former enthusiasm, and kept repeating shooting training.

Media reporters are waiting at the Toyota Training Center, ready to interview the Lakers players.Now all the attention of the sports media is focused on the Western Conference finals. The Lakers, who are the center of the media storm by convention, naturally have more report value.

Draymond Green, the leader of the Warriors' locker room, sent a text message to his teammates expressing his intention to lead by example and lead the team to Game [-].

Neither Curry nor Klay Thompson are good at it, it's something only he can do.

Steve Kerr was interviewed by media reporters, talking about the team losing two games in a row after leading 3-0, with a slightly unnatural expression.But after all, he was the man who confronted Jordan head-on on the training ground, so he kept his mind and dealt with it with official speech-style answers.

Alice didn't put any extra burden on Xu Tian, ​​so that Xu Tian could focus on basketball without being disturbed by any external things.

Curry still believes that the team can win, but he is no longer as relaxed and casual as before, watching the video carefully and analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of the Lakers.

Warriors assistant coach Luke Walton has been teammates with Kobe Bryant for a long time. He is very aware of the strength of this big brother. He is not limited to this round of the series. Come out, ready to tailor offensive and defensive tactics.

Kobe's comeback has caused the Warriors the biggest problem is that they have another point of firepower outside, and it would be very unrealistic to double-team Xu Tian.If Xu Tian is not double-teamed, no one can predict how he will perform after scoring 50+ points in two consecutive games.

All kinds of bad thoughts kept appearing, which made Luke Wharton unable to calm down, so he had to put down the pen in his hand, turn on the music player in the computer, and relieve the pressure in his heart through music.

The "Los Angeles Times" usually doesn't like Xu Tian very much, but his performance in the game last night was so good that it overwhelmed the news of the breakup of entertainment stars or the new measures of the city government, occupying the front page of the newspaper.

Scottie Pippen talked about Xu Tian when participating in a program, saying that he has reached Jordan's level, and may even be better than Jordan.This kind of remarks immediately sparked heated discussions, but his real purpose was just to earn some extra money, and he didn't really think that Xu Tian surpassed Jordan.

The Lakers celebrities couldn't hold back their impulses, and made comments on Twitter or INS, thinking that the Lakers already have the championship appearance, and the defending champion Warriors will end the season in this round of the series.

No matter how the outside world changes, the theme in the training hall will always be intensity and sweat.

The Lakers players can continue to be grateful for the season. They all show their best attitudes in training, run tactics seriously, and do every detail well.They did this only because the goal was exactly the same, that is, they wanted to compete for the championship this season.

After Xu Tian's personal training ended, the reporters waiting on the sidelines flocked again to interview him.

Windhorst was still the first to ask: "Xu, what do you think of Kobe's comeback? Will it affect the team's chemical reaction?"

Xu Tian said: "What? Of course it will not affect the chemical reaction. Kobe still has top-notch offensive skills and can break through the Warriors' defense in singles to break their system. I am very excited about his return."

"After the game last night, why did you run back to the locker room for the first time? Is it because of too much pressure?"

"No. I was excited about getting a road win at Oracle Arena, a little emotional, and I didn't want to be photographed by the media, so I went back to the locker room to celebrate alone."

"You won, you should celebrate more generously." Windhorst did not expect Xu Tian to give such an answer, and a smile appeared on his face.

"In my concept, if you don't win the series, you don't really win the game." Xu Tian expressed his point of view.

Bryant's interview was short, but the news was placed in the most prominent position.

The Staples Center has replaced the promotional posters, there are no more Warriors players, and the Big Three of the Lakers occupy the entire page, attracting passers-by to stop and watch.

CCTV sent reporters to Los Angeles to interview fans on the street, and the classic answer appeared again in the answers: "My grandma can win the championship if she plays with this team."

Warriors fans can clearly feel the expansion of the Lakers fans, and secretly hope that the Lakers will relax, but they know that the Lakers have Kobe and Xu Tian in the lineup, and the mood of arrogance will not appear at all.So since the end of the fifth game, they have entered a pessimistic mood.

After Xu Tian finished the interview, he took a taxi again to the square in front of the Staples Center.He looked at himself on the poster and realized that it was just the beginning.

Draymond Green called his teammates together for a player meeting to discuss their respective problems.

Los Angeles street basketball court, fans wearing the Lakers No. 1 jersey are almost all over the court.This is a change after the start of the playoffs, which means that the city of Los Angeles is completely accepting Xu Tian.

Steve Kerr and Luke Wharton sat in the hotel coffee shop, calmed down to discuss tactics, tried to forget the big score and off-court factors, and only looked for ways to limit Xu Tian from a tactical point of view.After several hours of discussion, still no clue.

The two ordered two more cups of coffee, and neither of them spoke again.They have a growing premonition - this summer will no longer belong to them.

TNT's promotional video for the series used Christina Aguilera's Fighter as the background music, but the content was basically Xu Tian's performance on the field, which was ridiculed by fans as "Xu Tian's personal highlights".But in the United States, which advocates individual heroism, it is a common phenomenon.
