Chapter 366
In the third game, the Lakers team performed poorly. Kobe Bryant made 24 of 8 shots and scored 22 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists. He is already the highest scoring player on the Lakers team.

Shaquille O'Neal made 20 of 9 shots, with 20 points, 19 rebounds and 4 assists. His large double-double could not help the Lakers win. In addition, he had 5 fouls and 5 turnovers.

Other starters Robert Horry scored 8 points, Rick Fox 4 points, Derek Fisher 4 points, no wonder the Lakers coach Phil Jackson was furious after the game, and he was late at the press conference after the game For 15 minutes, all reporters and Warriors coach Lenny Wilkens waited for him for a long time.

Even if this game wins the Lakers by 100 points, it is just a victory, and the series is not about who wins more total points, but who wins more games, even if they only win 1 point is also the same victory.

The atmosphere in the Warriors team after the game was a bit relaxed, and some players even began to look forward to the NBA Finals. After all, judging from this game, the Lakers were completely unable to compete with the Warriors. Except for the OK combination, the other Lakers players were comparable to the Warriors players. Than, the difference is not a star and a half.

On May 2002, 5, with a happy mood, the Warriors team ushered in a series against the Lakers at home. The fourth game was still Oracle Arena, the Warriors' home game.

"Even though they didn't lose their temper at all in the last game, the Lakers still don't have any thoughts of changing teams. Their head coach, Phil Jackson, still sent out the same starting players as in the last game."

"Shaquille O'Neal, the starting center of the Lakers, can turn any mediocre NBA team into a strong contender for the championship. The team with O'Neal and the team without O'Neal are completely two levels of existence .”

"The Lakers' starting power forward Robert Horry, the 32-year-old Horry, has played in the NBA for 10 seasons. He once won two championships with Olajuwon in the Rockets and came to the Lakers. The team won it again, and it can be said that he is the kind of player with a big heart who has enough determination and experience to help the team."

"The Lakers' starting small forward, Rick Fox, has always been considered to be much more attractive than his strength, but his hard work has proved that in addition to going to Hollywood to act in movies, he can also play well in every NBA game."

"The Lakers' starting shooting guard is naturally Kobe Bryant. His age represents an infinite future. His talent is beyond doubt. People who once questioned and denied him have gradually become his fans. It can be said that Kobe's current popularity, He is not inferior to O'Neal, and in terms of age, he is much lower than O'Neal."

"And the most overlooked thing about the Lakers is their starting point guard, Derek Fisher. He is only 1 meters tall and weighs only 85 kilograms. He looks very small. He can neither score crazy points nor He can't send too many assists, and he is often overwhelmed by tall defenders on defense. Too many NBA experts and fans think that he is the biggest weakness and loophole of the Lakers."

"The Warriors played perfectly in the last game. They have been leading the Lakers from the beginning, but this does not mean that today's game is easy to play. The feeling is the most unclear thing. Maybe the Lakers forgot to bring the gloves on the game. It's on the field."

"Lenny sent No. 11 young Shenzhou center Yao to start. The immature Yao Ming is obviously far behind the peak O'Neal in all aspects, but the more critical games are, the more Lenny dares to use them. Dayao plays, only by playing constantly can he gain experience and know what he lacks. No one can kill the Quartet in the first nba game. Most nba players have to pay countless tuition fees before they can play in this university The league stands to survive."

"Power forward Lenny sent No. 7 Jermaine O'Neal. With his outstanding performance, Jr. O'Neal conquered all the most discerning fans and nba experts. His strong body and agile steps made all opponents feel Very headache."

"The starting candidates for small forward and shooting guard are naturally the No. 1 McGrady of the Warriors' twin stars, and No. 33 Grant Hill, these two NBA balloon stars, standing behind millions of loyal and crazy fans, Whether in the United States or in China, their influence is unbelievable. It can be said that they can sell out all the inventory of that manufacturer in an instant when they shoot an advertisement for that brand."

"This is not a joke, really, ever since Hill and McGrady's advertising blockbuster for Shenzhou Shenli Sports was broadcast in prime time after the Shenzhou Universe simulcast, the flock of customers has squeezed the Shenzhou Shenli Sports in major cities. The threshold of the specialty store, all the sneakers, jerseys, everything displayed in the store, were almost sold out by crazy fans."

"The Warriors currently have no substitute for the point guard, only No. 4 Chauncey Billups. His responsibility is very heavy, and no one can replace him. This is actually very fatal. Once targeted, the Warriors will have No small trouble."

"As soon as the first quarter came up, it seemed to return to the old way of the previous game. The Warriors quickly led the score. It is hard to believe that this is the final of the NBA Western Conference playoffs. The Lakers seem to be unable to play. Kind of fancy blood."

"O'Neal, Yao Ming, Tracy McGrady, and Hill all contributed top-five dunks, fast breaks and cuts and three-pointers. The Warriors beat the Lakers 40:20 in the first quarter and took the lead in a single quarter. 20 points, it has to be said is crazy."

"The head coach of the Lakers, Phil Jackson, did not mess around. He still made substitutions as usual. In the second quarter, he replaced Devin George and Lynch Hunter, leaving Kobe and Fisher off the field. Rest and let the single-core O'Neal lead the team."

"The Warriors also have a normal rotation here. The center is Big Ben and Ben Wallace. The opposite O'Neal is on the court for a second. The Warriors must ensure sufficient internal strength. No one will ignore or double-team O'Neal. There are too many bloody lessons ahead."

"The Warriors rested all the starting five players in one go. It seems that Lenny intends to crush the Lakers in one fell swoop in the second half, replacing Pau Gasol, Bruce Bowen, Larry Hughes, Sean Ba Thiel is a player who can attack and defend well."

"But the Lakers withstood the pressure of the Warriors in the second quarter and beat the Warriors 31:25 in a single quarter. In an extremely unfavorable situation, they even recovered 6 points. In this way, they trailed by 14 points at halftime and still had to play in the second half. .”
