Chapter 408 Head to Seattle! Playoff Atmosphere!

"BEAT LA!!! BEAT LA!!! BEAT LA!!!"

"Italian nigger go back to your mother!"

"Kobe is not as good as a DICK hair in Gary!"

"You can't get out of here!"

"Fat Shaq loves shit!"

The Lakers team just got off the flight from Los Angeles to Seattle. At the airport, they were "welcome" by supersonic fans and their enthusiasm.

"WTF, are they crazy?" Looking at the Seattle fans holding signs and chanting slogans, Xiaoyu shivered.

"Normal operation, Xiaoyu is calm." Campbell looked accustomed.

Then the Lakers players are ready to go from the plane to the bus!

And the Seattle fans directly surrounded the Lakers bus!

"Is this normal?" Fisher's voice trembled a little, and he couldn't help feeling a little scared when he saw the aggressive Supersonics fans rushing over.

"This, this doesn't seem so normal." Campbell's eyes widened. The Seattle fans rushed to the airport security line like crazy, and surrounded the Lakers' bus to prevent the Lakers players from getting on the bus.

The security guards and the fans had a stalemate for half an hour, and then with the help of BLACKWATER security personnel who came after hearing the news, the Lakers players went to the hotel by bus.

Immediately there was another wave of 'welcome' outside the hotel.

A large number of supersonic fans in green jerseys directly surrounded the hotel, although it was not as simple as sealing the hotel door. But looking at the Lakers players with ill intentions still brought a lot of psychological pressure to the Lakers players.

Immediately afterwards, they knew what these fans were doing by surrounding the hotel.

"Beep!!!~~~~"

"Beep!!!~~~~"

"Damn, damn, it's too noisy! Is there no one to take care of them like this?" O'Neill wrapped two pillows tightly around his head. He was going to get off the plane and go to the hotel to have a good sleep, but he was caught Waking up to noise from outside the hotel.

It was a 'gift' given to Lakers players by SuperSonic fans using horns and whistles.

"Who leaked our itinerary and destination?" Kirtland Biss was also furious.

"The hotel said it had contacted the police, but the police never came!"

"Don't count on those MOTHERFU~KER cops, they're Sonics fans too!"

"Then what to do?"

"Talk to the head, do you want to change to a hotel? We're going to stay in Seattle for 4 days. It's okay not to rest."

Harris made sure the Sonics fans wouldn't leave and the noise wouldn't stop. He immediately complained to the hotel and asked West to arrange the next hotel, and the Lakers players moved there overnight.

On the bus to the new hotel, the faces of the Lakers rookies were a little ugly, as if they were eating flies.

"That's the vibe of the playoffs. Sacramento is not a traditional playoff team, so you guys don't feel it. And from this moment, from these two road games in Seattle, the real war begins. Not only on the court, but also off the court, remember to control your mouth. Don’t eat and drink food and drinks given by strangers.” Kurt Rambis sounded the alarm to the Lakers players, the Lakers here There are too many young players.

"Everyone is forbidden to leave the hotel, and we will take the bus together during training. In order to avoid accidents, I hope everyone in the hotel will watch the video and rest at ease." Harris issued a foot ban, although most of the players in the Lakers are good children After all, their bosses O'Neal and Kobe are players who don't like nightlife that much, but they also play in a few nightclubs. And at a time like the playoffs, of course these people cannot be allowed to affect the team.

"Be careful, the battle between us and the Supersonic has reached its climax at this moment."

On May 9, 1997, the Lakers played away against the SuperSonics at Key Arena in Seattle.

In G3, the Lakers have already won 2:0 in the first two games, as long as they win this game, it can almost herald the series. After all, so far no team has been able to win four games in a row with 3:0.

In order to defend the home court, the Supersonics have made sufficient preparations from top to bottom, from the management to the fans. The playoff atmosphere they created for the Lakers did fluctuate the mentality of some of the Lakers' newcomers.

The Sonics are on the precipice, and taking a step back means all the hard work of the season is in vain. Sliding from last year's Western Conference champion to stop in the second round. And this is something that neither the team management nor the players can accept. They always feel that the Lakers are young and do not have the resilience of other historical teams. They can beat the Lakers as long as they find the right opportunity. But the situation has reached the brink of such a crisis, the Sonics must win this game! Only then will he have the opportunity to confront the Lakers later.

"Defend the home court!" Payton took the lead and put his hand in the middle of the crowd, and his teammates even Kemp put their hands on it vigorously. As long as they can keep two home courts and bring the score back to 2:2, then by virtue of The opportunity to win the Lakers will be a matter of course.

"Guys, I won't say too much. Everyone should play defense according to their responsibilities, and don't play hero ball. I need you to play aggressive!" George Karl pointed on the tactical board.

The game starts soon.

Hawkins became the Sonics' first offensive launch point, and Payton didn't even try to single out Kobe, so he wandered inside.

The Sonics have a very strong sense of offensive hierarchy. Although Hawkins' organizational skills are not as good as Payton's, he is selfless! Coupled with Eddie Jones' lack of experience in defending short guards, Hawkins led the Sonics' offense. They played an offensive wave at the beginning of the home game. The 8:0 start made the Lakers directly choose to pause.

The Lakers were still in a state of tentative offense at the beginning, while the Sonics directly started the indiscriminate bombing. Under Kobe's defense, Gary Payton gradually began to find a way to deal with it. He caught the ball with his back near the penalty area, and while giving play to his organizational advantages, he used his strength and weight advantages to overpower Kobe. It opened a gap in Kobe's completely blocked defense.

The Lakers fell behind in the first quarter, 25:29 against the Sonics.

In the substitute competition between the two sides, the Supersonics have the upper hand again.

Sam Perkins, who played well in the last game, and Nate McMillan, the strongest defensive player on the bench, attacked and defended one by one. First, they crushed the low-morale Xiaoyu to death, and then interfered with Horry and Curry. projection.

The Lakers in regular combat feel very average, and the Supersonic players explain what is called a last stand.

At halftime, the Lakers scored 53:61 against the SuperSonics.
