I am so Accurate

Chapter 467 The door to the new world!

The three-day offseason seems a bit long.

While fans are waiting for the finals, they are also watching various things about the 2006 draft.

According to the latest news, the Raptors, who hold the No. 1 pick, are very interested in big man Andrea Bargnani from Italy.

Nowitzki's name is clearly written in the column of Bargnani's draft template.

This big man from Europe, like Nowitzki, is 2.11 meters tall, has the same flexible speed as Nowitzki, and has a high outside shooting rate of 37% in the European League.

The predecessors planted trees for the next generation to enjoy the shade. Nowitzki's success makes Bargnani expected to become Europe's first No. 1 draft pick.

Durant's draft market is also optimistic, and he is predicted to be selected by the Cavaliers in TNT's draft predictions.

Cleveland, where the Cavaliers are located, is a "barren land" among the four major sports leagues, and there has never been a championship there.

Durant has a chance to be the savior there.

However, in ESPN's prediction, Durant was predicted to be selected by Houston with the fifth overall pick.

The reason given by ESPN is also very sufficient. Durant's fact that he cannot push 84kg shows that there is a certain probability that he will not be able to adapt to the physical confrontation of the NBA.

If you don't open your eyes, it's not like there were no such players before the NBA.

Of course, there are also some rumors that the Sonics are also very interested in Durant and are trying to trade up the draft pick.

And another very interesting thing is that Durant's draft template has the names of two people written in it.

The upper limit is Tracy McGrady, and the lower limit is Yi Jianlian.

The two templates look very interesting. Not to mention their strength, they are very different in terms of position.

But this just illustrates the uncertainty of Durant's draft prediction.

These topics were talked about by fans during the offseason.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, the third game of the finals begins in Los Angeles.

The Staples Center was packed, and the enthusiasm of the fans was clearly written on their faces.

Just as fans talked about in the forum, the Lakers are in a great situation now, and fans can't wait to see the team defend their title at home.

Especially if they can win the third game, the Lakers will be in a 3-0 unbeaten position.

Never in NBA history has a 3-0 lead been reversed in the playoffs, let alone the Finals.

During the warm-up before the game, all members of the Lakers team were in full condition, but they did not show any complacency.

This shows that the Lakers have trained enough in the past three days, but they have also done a lot of mental homework.

Everything has two sides. The Lakers players who easily defeated the Warriors had a relaxed mentality, which led to them underestimating the opponent when they played against the Suns.

But it was precisely because of that experience that the Lakers maintained their absolute focus on the game before successfully defending their title.

When seeing the state of the Lakers players, fans have enough reason to believe that this Lakers team can finally defend the title and win tonight's game.

But what is slightly surprising is the Wizards' mental state.

In theory, they should be demoralized, but they also appeared to be full of energy, even a little excited.

It feels like...well, you are determined to win.

This state of affairs is surprising.

It is worth mentioning that Jordan, as the Wizards' minor owner, also came to Los Angeles with the team.

During the warm-up before the game, he went to the Wizards half court to talk and laugh with the Wizards players, and he seemed to be in a good mood.

"If I'm not mistaken, maybe Michael gave each of them a huge gift, maybe a free night in a nightclub."

In the commentary box, Brin's partner Mark Jackson joked.

Everyone knows that Jordan likes high-rolling gambling and sexy girls.

Jackson retired after last season. After retiring, he worked for ESPN as a professional commentator.

Because of his humorous commentary style, his development trajectory is similar to that of Barkley, and he quickly became a famous speaker on ESPN.

This can be seen from his partner Breen's commentary on the finals.

Brin on the side was amused.

"I think a pair of Michael's signature sneakers is more likely."

Bryn continued.

"No matter what, nightclub or sneakers, the Wizards look different tonight, which may bring us some surprises."

Mark Jackson said casually.

But he just said it casually, but he didn't expect it to actually come true in the end.

The game started quickly, and the Wizards' opening tactics did not change much.

McGrady is still the main defender against Sun Hao, and Hamilton's tactical status is still improved from the beginning.

Although this did not help the Wizards take the lead, because the Lakers were also in good shape.

As a result, the two teams were still in a stalemate from the beginning as they were in the previous game.

Indeed, as Carlisle said, the two teams are evenly matched, not as disparate as the big score shows.

This stalemate ended up being the same as the previous game, lasting until the final critical moment!

But this time, before the two teams started competing for key goals, Carlisle once again resorted to the shark-cutting tactic!

O'Neal was constantly sent to the free throw line, and then very steadily... missed two free throws.

This also puts the Lakers into a passive position.

Especially as the head coach, Phil Jackson had to start doing multiple-choice questions again.

Moreover, this time Carlisle "standardized" the shark-cutting tactic, making Jackson's choice inappropriate.

Jackson finally chose to replace O'Neal early, and the Lakers' internal strength was greatly reduced.

Especially on the offensive end, this allowed Carlisle to use a crazy three-person double-team on Sun Hao.

At the most critical moment, the Lakers' problem of "role players can't play without O'Neal" exposed in the regular season reappeared.

Neither Walker, Ariza nor Payton could put the ball into the basket.

The Wizards also took advantage of the situation and made a run at the last minute, eventually defeating the Lakers 103-95 and regaining a win on the road!

At the end of the game, the Wizards players celebrated wildly on the court.

This victory prevented them from falling into a 0-3 desperate situation, which was equivalent to pulling themselves back from the edge of the cliff.

Jordan also stood up and applauded immediately after the game, and then walked over and hugged the Wizards players one by one.

As a result, his previous saliva was not in vain.

At the end, he even gave head coach Carlisle a big hug.

After this game, Carlisle became one of the few coaches besides Nelson and Popovich who could correctly use the shark-cutting tactic.

Carlisle's learning speed gives him every reason to believe that the former can lead the Wizards to the championship.

Maybe this year, maybe next year.

On the other end of the court, Sun Hao also showed his gradually mature character, calling his teammates together to encourage him after the defeat.

"We still have two home games. If we win them, we can still win the cup at home. Believe in ourselves!"

This kind of post-game encouragement is necessary.

Just like if you make a woman angry, the effect of coaxing her immediately is a hundred times better than coaxing her the next night.

The Lakers regained their confidence.

Two days later, Game 4 of the series between the two sides continued at Staples Center.

This game is extremely important for both sides.

For the Wizards, if they cannot win this game, the 1-3 situation will push them into a real desperate situation.

At that time, if they wanted to beat the Lakers again, it meant that they had to win three consecutive games in the finals, which was as difficult as going to heaven.

For the Lakers, if they cannot win this game, they will draw 2-2 with the Wizards and be dragged into Tianwang Mountain.

Not only returning to the same starting line, but more importantly, losing two consecutive home games will be a huge blow to the team's morale.

What's even more fatal is that even if we win Tianwangshan, the next two games will be played at the Wizards' home court!

Even if the Lakers have G6 Sun, it will be very difficult to win again when the time comes.

Sometimes people have to sigh, the best-of-seven games seems to have a lot of games, but the victory or defeat of each game has a great impact on the entire series.

No one can afford to lose, and this was clearly demonstrated at the beginning of the game. Both teams played the highest intensity defense they could from the very beginning.

The intensity of the confrontation on the field was so high that it was comparable to the 2009-10 season finals in history.

From time to time, people fall on their backs, but without losing the beauty of the game.

Of course, the performance of superstars such as Yao Mai, Sun Hao and O'Neal in the confrontation was even more outstanding.

All kinds of difficult confrontations make people's blood boil.

The Lakers once played a wave in the third quarter to open the score to double digits, but the Wizards, led by Yao Mai, quickly caught up with the score.

By the end of the third quarter, the two sides were tied.

By the fourth quarter, this situation had not improved.

"I would be very, very surprised if there is a game in this year's finals with a margin of more than 10 points."

This situation made Brin, a veteran who has been in the commentary box for more than 20 years, unable to help but sigh.

The game entered the final moment, and Carlisle repeated his old tricks and once again resorted to the shark-cutting tactic.

It's a pity that Phil Jackson has to start taking multiple-choice questions again at his old age.

With the experience of the previous game, this time he chose to put O'Neal on the court.

O'Neal was constantly sent to the free throw line, and then like the previous game, he steadily hit the ball to the basket.

This time, Sun Hao's verbal encouragement failed to work.

In addition to mentality, free throws are more important than ability.

That's not even something that can be learned through practice alone.

There are many players with poor free throw shooting in NBA history, but very few can truly produce qualitative changes through training.

Take O'Neal as an example. This problem has accompanied him throughout his career, giving him as much headache as weight loss.

He also tried changing his free throw posture and even used one-handed free throws, but without exception, it didn't work.

As a result, the Lakers were beaten by the Wizards in a different way, and finally lost 101 to 106.

Just like no one thought that the Lakers would win two consecutive away games before the finals started, no one thought that the Wizards would win two consecutive away games after the series returned to Los Angeles!

The score of 2 to 2 may be what many people can think of, but this process is really unexpected!

By the time the fourth game was over, the fans in the forum felt like they were going crazy.

And unlike the one-sided atmosphere in the previous two games, this time the fans' attitudes showed a very obvious polarization.

There are still many fans supporting the Lakers, but a considerable number of fans have begun to support the Wizards.

The interesting thing is that as reporters dug into the reasons for the Wizards' comeback, Jordan's speech was also exposed.

Inadvertently, the basketball god pretended to be a big dick again.

"Jordan: I didn't expect that, in addition to being a great player, my speaking skills are also at the Presidential Hill level!"

"Jordan: When you can withstand all failures, that's when you dominate the game!"

"I wonder if you have noticed a detail. Jordan was present in both away games, but the Wizards did not lose! Does this mean there is no more magic?"

"I said before that Jordan was not good at judging people. Didn't he get both Yao and T-mac? Michael, I am no longer the same Jordan I used to be!"

"I think Carlisle's coaching also contributed a lot. His shark-cutting tactics played a decisive role in the game at the last moment!"

"Carlisle's learning speed is terrifying. If he were the head coach of the Mavericks, the Mavericks would have won the championship this season!"

"Cuban, go dig him out!"

"You think so well, Jordan will let him go? Besides, the Wizards' lineup is no worse than the Mavericks. Carlisle has no reason to leave!"

"The question now is, how should the Lakers play in the next games! If they lose three home games in a row..."

"This game is really ups and downs, and the Lakers are very passive after losing two home games in a row!"

"I have to sigh again, Shaq is really old! These two games were so targeted that they were held back!"

"Yes, Shaq is old, and his free throws used to be inaccurate, but most of the time his games didn't have a decisive moment because the Lakers had already won."

"In the twilight years of the Warriors, I think the Lakers have a high probability of defending their title this year."

"Bullshit! Lakers championship!" A message from God No. 95 of the Lakers.

"Brother, although you are a fan of Sun, the situation in front of you cannot be changed by personal ability!"

"Look at what happened to Andre Bogut, and look at what Carter said, the game is played with words, not with words."

"You all don't understand football. Sun is the greatest player in the world. He will definitely stand up!" A message from Lakers No. 95 God.

"Is there something wrong with this person's brain, you idiot?"

"Haha, just wait and see, you don't understand how strong Sun is!" A message from Lakers No. 95 God.

In Chicago, Durant, who had just finished the joint trial training, was using his hands very fast in the hotel to exchange words with a number of users on his trumpet.

He found that he enjoyed it.

Even when he felt that one account was not enough, he was ready to apply for a few more alt-accounts.

Many things need to be said with more people to be effective. Just one account will appear to be too weak.

Thinking of this, he picked up the crispy noodles next to him and poured a big mouthful into his mouth, and then started to apply for a new trumpet.

At this moment, he seemed to have opened the door to a new world!
