Chapter Nine Hundred and Twenty Nine
Like the Knicks who swept the Cavaliers 4-0, the Warriors returned to Oakland overnight after winning Game 4 in Los Angeles.
On both sides of the 3,000-meter Golden Gate, countless Warriors fans are waiting for the return of the heroes.
The Warriors who won the G4 game of the Western Conference Finals and led the Lakers 3-1 have undoubtedly opened the door to the Finals.
In the next fifth game, this round of the Western Conference Finals will return to Oracle Arena in Oakland.
No one doubts that the Warriors will advance to the Finals and compete with the Knicks.
Judging from the odds given by the seven major gaming companies in the United States, the Lakers have only a theoretical possibility left.
And just when the Warriors players returned to the Bay Area and enjoyed the worship of the Bay Area fans, James, who was packing his bags in Los Angeles, never dreamed that after losing the fourth game, the first person who called to comfort him... ..it was Lin Yi!
Of course my emperor has Lin Yi's call.
It's just... It seems that the two of them haven't called each other very much, and even rarely send text messages.
Sadly, my emperor was a little moved.
Because on the phone, Lin Yi poured a lot of chicken soup for the emperor.
"Thank you!" At the end of the phone call, my emperor thanked Lin Yi.
Speaking of it, my emperor is a few years older than Lin Yi, but at this moment, it seems that Lin Yi is the senior who has fought for more than ten years.
And not long after comforting my emperor, Lin Yi called another Los Angeles phantom god.
"Hey, boss, is the battle between you and sister-in-law over?"
"Beep, beep, beep, the phone you dialed has been turned off!"
"..."
Lin Yi didn't call the elementary school students this night, not because of his plastic friendship with Curry, but because of a tacit understanding between him and Curry.
An opponent is an opponent, and a friend is a friend.
After the G4 game in the Eastern Conference finals, many Knicks players asked Lin Yi why he had to come back instead of accepting the team doctor's suggestion to take a rest.
Lin Yi's answer at the time was simple.
"Because we're going to play the Warriors next."
Although I really hope that the Lakers can drag the Warriors for a few games, in Lin Yi's view, unless Mars really hits the earth and the sun really shines at four o'clock in the morning in Los Angeles, it will be difficult for the Lakers to beat the Warriors.
Therefore, the Knicks must find a way to get rid of the Cavaliers as soon as possible.
Because of the basketball game, it's really hard to say.
Even if the Knicks are much better than the Cavaliers, even if the Cavaliers can't beat the Knicks four times in a row, Lin Yi will never make a fuss in the playoffs.
In Lin Yi's previous life, the tragedy of the 73-win Warriors was vividly remembered.
Even if the Cavaliers have the prestige of referees, if the Warriors who lead 3 to 1 do not die themselves, how can they be dragged into a desperate situation by the Cavaliers?
To put it bluntly, even Lin Yi didn't have the confidence to be absolutely sure when facing this team of warriors.
So if you can have more advantages, you will have more advantages.
And Lin Yi's goal has also been achieved. After all, as a player, Lin Yi's first thought is to win the championship, not to make the league executives scramble.
Of course, if Xiao Hua knew Lin Yi's thoughts, he would definitely have an urge to fly to China and then jump the Huangpu River.
...
The entire Bay Area is gearing up for the Finals.
But history has told people countless times that a proud soldier will be defeated.
Lin Yi was right, because he didn't give the Cavaliers any chance in the Eastern Conference Finals.
In the G3 game of the Western Conference Finals, although there were reasons for the referees, the Warriors themselves really messed up.
At that time in the third quarter of the game, the Warriors played too much.
On the 29th, at the Oracle Arena, in the fifth game of the Western Conference finals, the warriors who had the right time, the right location, and the harmony of people used practical actions to tell people what it means to die if you don't die.
Objectively speaking, the referee of this game is relatively fair.
Although they didn't give the Warriors a home whistle, they didn't give the Lakers an away whistle either.
In the first quarter of the game, the Warriors were still so aggressive. Curry's Xia Ji dominated, Leonard and Middleton's firepower output,
No one doubts that the Warriors will get tickets to the Finals tonight.
After the first quarter, 29 to 33, the Warriors led the Lakers by 4 points.
Judging from the situation, in the next game, as long as the Warriors maintain this rhythm, the Lakers will undoubtedly become their defeat.
It's just that no one noticed that in the first quarter, the reason why the Warriors only led the Lakers by 4 points was because they made as many as 6 turnovers.
Not even Warriors coach Kerr noticed.
After all, the Warriors are such a team. In the regular season this year, they had 29 turnovers in one game, but you may not believe it... In that game, they finally defeated their opponent.
Yes, in the face of absolute strength, what is a little mistake?
It's just... the Warriors are facing the Lakers tonight.
LeBron - never give up - James, Kobe - big deal from shooting again - Bryant.
In the second quarter, the Warriors continued to rotate, and on the Lakers side, Kobe and James did not stop.
In Lin Yi's life, the total number of strikes in his career has reached almost 15,000 times, but... There will always be one or two accidents.
When the little blacksmith turned on the switch next to the hundred-tempered steel, the Oracle Arena——your god is here!
The 36-year-old Kobe stunned Middleton and Leonard who were in charge of defending him.
The player who made 5 of 30 3-pointers in the first four games combined was 5 of 5 from beyond the arc in the second quarter of Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals.
Kobe continued to fire for the Lakers at the most critical time, and James, like his Pippen, kept feeding him cakes.
After the first half, the Lakers have taken control of the game, and they lead the Warriors 62 to 56.
If the Warriors wake up at this time, they still have a chance to slap Kobe and James' basketball dreams away.
But obviously, the Warriors players, including Curry, are still immersed in the worship of the Bay Area fans two days ago.
In the third quarter, the Lakers' two phantom gods adjusted their positions.
Kobe, who was physically declining, began to do his best to assist James.
This humanoid tank did not disappoint Kobe.
At least it didn't disappoint Kobe this night.
In the third quarter of the fifth game, the Lakers kept using James to attack Curry. The defense of the elementary school students is not so good now. Therefore, the emperor attacked the Warriors inside in the third quarter, and took penalties. It's 18 points.
After the third quarter, the Lakers' lead has become 94 to 85.
Of course, at this point in the game, Warriors fans are not too worried.
After all, a team like the Warriors is not afraid of falling behind by 20 points, let alone 9 points?
Cole still rotated in the fourth quarter, which was no different from usual.
It's just... Soon the warriors discovered that the reality and their predictions seemed to be a little bit off.
The Lakers' two major MVPs worked together, and their CBA players also took the initiative to stand up in the fourth quarter.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Love, Jiasao, and De Xiaopang led the two phantom gods of Los Angeles to play a wave of 19-2 attacks.
And behind this wave of attacks... the Warriors gave the Lakers the ball five times in a row.
127 to 115, the Lakers had the last laugh, Kobe and James kept the last hope of Los Angeles.
With a big score in the Western Conference Finals, the Lakers trailed 2-3.
The hope of a comeback has appeared, because next, the sixth game between the two sides will be moved to Los Angeles.
...
June 1st, Children's Day.
On this day, in addition to Dayao taking office, there is also the sixth game between the Warriors and the Lakers.
The turmoil of the fourth game of the Eastern Conference Finals has subsided, and the ratings of the Warriors and Lakers' Western Conference Finals contest are rising steadily. Under this background, Brother Xiao Hua, who holds the script in his hand, has a little evil thought.
Facts have proved that Xiao Hua really didn't think about picking an opponent for the Knicks.
After all, the Lakers and Warriors, whoever enters the finals to play the Knicks will be full of topics.
From Xiao Hua's point of view, he just wanted to make this round of the Western Conference Finals as long as possible.
then......
Tragedy happened.
In Game 6 of the Western Conference Finals, the Lakers, who received the home whistle bonus, became more and more courageous, while their opponent, the young Warriors, fell into a battle of wits with the referee.
The Warriors players were very angry because they didn't receive any care from the referees because the last game was at their home court.
But in fact, if you look at this round of the Western Conference Finals separately, the sixth game of the Western Conference Finals...the referee's penalty is not a problem.
Because... the referee just gave the Lakers the home whistle.
However, if you look at this round of the Western Conference Finals together, the referees will undoubtedly become the protagonists of this round of Western Conference Finals.
So far, the Warriors missed the last chance to end the Lakers.
In the G3 game, they gave the Lakers and the referee a chance to dance together.
In the G5 game, they killed themselves, allowing the Lakers to play the best game so far this season.
In the G6 game, they focused on confronting the referees, and they obviously couldn't beat this Lakers who were thinking about how to comeback.
96 to 105, after bringing this round of the series back to the same starting line, the scene of James and Kobe embracing and crying moved countless Lakers fans.
In this year's playoffs, the Lakers have played two tiebreakers before.
In the Western Conference Finals with the Warriors, they once again dragged the game into a tie-break when they fell behind 1-3.
No matter what is behind this, but I have to say... Kobe and James' lives are really hard.
...
On June 3, the Warriors fans who were dancing happily a few days ago were dumbfounded.
Because they never expected that there would be a seventh game in this round of the series.
but......
Even at this point in the game, Warriors fans are still full of confidence in this Warriors team.
Xiao Hua didn't manipulate the game anymore.
It's just...the referees who uphold fairness, openness, and impartiality are a bit too impartial.
Because... After encountering the Lakers' home whistle in the last game, the Warriors still don't have a home whistle in this game.
Xiao Hua's meaning is very simple, in the seventh round, if you both fight fairly, I will be Captain Dragonfly.
And this is precisely where Xiao Hua is inferior to Stern.
Because sometimes fair means unfair.
In this world, how can there be absolute fairness?
The Stern era was not fair either.
But that little Jewish old man will try his best to make the bowl of water level.
The Warriors players haven't got rid of the referee's shadow. It wasn't until the fourth quarter in Game 7 of the Western Conference Finals that they woke up and began to seriously compete with the Lakers for a place in the Finals.
But it was too late.
Because Kobe, who played with touch, and James, who played with confidence, took over the game.
Of course, until the last minute of the game, Curry still had a chance to tie the score for the Warriors.
Because the Warriors were only two points behind the Lakers at the time.
It's a pity that Curry, who had just dribbled through the half court, chose to use a super long three-pointer to change his fate.
Bang--!
I feel that I am not on the side of the elementary school students this time.
After James grabbed the rebound, the Lakers launched their last counterattack.
After looking at Kobe, James gave Kobe the chance to hit the final shot.
And Kobe did not disappoint him.
The hand rises and the knife falls.
Three points.
So far... this weird round of Western Conference finals has officially come to an end.
103 to 98, the Lakers...really overturned!
With 1 to 3 behind, they turned over!
"The Lakers championship—!!" Countless Ke Mi and Zhan Mi could finally puff up their chests arrogantly this time, and then uttered these words out loud.
We can't even lose such a game, so why can't we fight the Knicks in the next finals?
After the game, Curry silently looked at the scoreboard with his hands on his hips and his braces in his mouth, without saying a word.
Leonard, Middleton and others were expressionless.
Little Jordan looked like he didn't know what happened, while the first brother put a towel on Curry's head before leaving the court.
Failure is often full of bitterness.
Of course, victory is also worthy of joy.
After the game, James personally put on a hat for Kobe, and Kobe also personally put on a hat for James.
"Hey, LeBron, come up!" Kobe carried James back to the locker room this night, just like the shark carried himself on his back.
James did not refuse Bryant's kindness.
"This is my strong little brother!" Bryant said to reporters along the way, with James on his back.
"Kobe, my most reliable buddy!" James on Kobe's back said excitedly to the reporters along the way.
Well, it turns out that Zhu Gusheng can also have friends.
In addition, as long as you are strong enough, no matter whether you are paranoid or not, you can still be brothers with my emperor.
The 14/15 season, the Western Conference finals, officially closed.
The finals are about to begin...
