One Thousand Three Hundred and Eighty-Four. Try Again!

"Big villain? It was like this when we played against the Spurs, and it's still like this now, so let's be the big villain!"

Sun Ce was very disdainful of their remarks that they prevented some great scene from happening.

If it is really a great scene, what can be stopped?

Since it can be stopped by others, what is great?

Every time the team of the old generation of superstars is about to be eliminated, such remarks will appear. For example, in the last round, after the Lakers advanced, before the sixth game between the Grizzlies and the Spurs, some remarks came out for some reason, saying that they prevented the great scene of Kobe and Duncan from fighting again.

Over time, Sun Ce no longer cares about these remarks. Others want to see it, but he doesn't! If he lets others see the great scene they want, he will lose. Why?

……

The Grizzlies are excited about taking a 2-0 lead, while the Lakers players are on the verge of collapse.

Kobe really can't figure out what's wrong this time!

Last year, the Lakers fell behind 0-2 at the beginning of the Western Conference Finals against the Grizzlies, and then lost the third game when they returned to their home court. They finally won a difficult fourth game to save their dignity, but were eventually eliminated with a score of 1-4.

This time was even more difficult, 0-2 at home!

Kobe couldn't figure it out. Although they lost the first game, they played back and forth, and even took the initiative for a long time. It was only because Sun Ce broke out in the last quarter and made a key buzzer-beater that they lost.

But in the second game, they collapsed directly and lost decisively. It felt like they had been knocked down.

Indeed, when Kobe knew that his opponent in the Western Conference Finals was the Grizzlies, he couldn't help but recall the scene of being almost swept last year.

But this was actually motivation for Kobe, and it was a huge motivation for him to score 44 points in the first game and 33 points in the second game despite an unfavorable situation.

The preparatory training on the afternoon of the 27th ended. Yesterday, I arrived in Memphis and rested for a day. Throughout the training today, Kobe felt the absent-mindedness of Paul and Josh Smith, the core teammates he considered to be the strongest.

Finally, Kobe couldn't help it and exploded before everyone went to take a shower, change clothes and return to the hotel after the training!

"Look at what you guys look like! Just like a piece of toilet paper, so soft!

Isn't it just 0-2? We lost these two games badly. We only lost by 1 point in the first game, but it was a terrible defeat.

What happened next?

Then we were easily defeated by the opponent in the second game like a stack of toilet paper?

Even if they went to a nightclub to find a skin and bone, they would symbolically resist, right?

What about us?

Will we kneel down and offer the victory to the lord like this?

You like this, but I don't. Even if I lose, I have to lose standing up and try my best. If I lose in the end, I can only say that we are not as strong as the opponent, not like this, even without dignity.

And we haven't lost yet! Is it terrible to be behind 0-2? What about being behind 0-3? Don't we still have a game to play?"

As a high school student, Kobe, who secretly reads books when he has nothing to do, doesn't use a single swear word when he speaks, but makes many teammates blush.

For example, Josh Smith and JR Smith, who are also high school students, feel that the boss is awesome! Really cultured!

The two have many characteristics of high school students, such as being unruly and self-centered, but they both have one strange characteristic - listening to the team's arrangements.

Josh Smith is too obedient to the team's arrangements. During his time with the Hawks, he changed many head coaches. Each head coach wanted this super genius who was quick to learn and talented to become the type of player he wanted. As a result, each head coach could not stay in office for long, resulting in Josh Smith learning everything to the quasi-first-class or even first-class marginal level, but without any strong points.

But this is also Josh Smith's advantage. He learns whatever he is asked to learn and is obedient.

JR Smith has always been trained as a sixth-man player.

When he first entered the NBA, he actually had a title - Kobe's successor, talented.

Although he is a thorn, he often angers his opponents in general, and rarely conflicts with his teammates. Instead, he often leads his teammates to conflicts with the opponent. This is why he is not liked by the Nuggets management.

Apart from the core teammates, most of Kobe's teammates wanted to win. They lost less than ten points in the second game. They were tied with Jamison, Blake, Metta World and other veterans. They had a chance to win the second game. As long as Paul was a little more normal and the two high school students worked harder, they would have a chance to win with the strength shown by the Grizzlies in the second game.

Although it is not ruled out that if they played harder, the Grizzlies would also work harder, but their all-out efforts at least gave them a chance to struggle.

After listening to Kobe's words, the teammates didn't say anything. Now the boss was angry, but they cheered up again. If they didn't fight after falling behind 0-2, it would be really over!

Now it's the Western Conference Finals. Since there is a possibility of losing, why not do as the boss said and try your best to see if you have a chance to win?

The teammates' eyes were intentionally or unintentionally on Paul, the core of the team, who was the key to the loss the night before.

Paul felt the comments of his teammates, and he broke away from the mood of wanting to end the season quickly and enter the offseason. He also felt ashamed.

Nodding to Kobe, Paul said he understood.

However, although Paul cheered up again, his thoughts were different from those of his teammates - "Fight once, fight again, if we win this year, we will continue to play in the West, if we don't win..."

Paul encountered the most miserable situation in both Western Conference Finals, and he started with 0-2, which was completely different from the Western Conference Finals he expected.

Others were fine, but the key was the devil with the same jersey number as him!

He didn't know why, the regular season games were fine, and he didn't think Sun Ce was so terrible when he lost, but at the beginning of the Western Conference Finals, he kept recalling the situation of 0-3 in the first three games of the Western Conference Finals last year.

Unlike Kobe, who had won the Western Conference Finals 7 times before, Kobe couldn't accept losing, but if he really lost, he would only find ways to improve himself.

Paul, who had no experience of success in the playoffs, went to the second round at most before coming to the Lakers, and before coming to the Lakers, he only went to the second round once, and the rest of the time he went to the first round. How could he have experienced such a big battle as the Western Conference Finals?

We lost so badly the first time, and there was already a trauma in our hearts. And for some reason, that emotion kept getting bigger and bigger. Once I thought about playing in the Western Conference Finals against the Grizzlies and Sun Ce, the miserable experience of being behind 0-3 couldn't help but come to my mind.
