Chapter 168 “23vs24” begins

Los Angeles wants to win, and Denver doesn't want to lose.

It's just that the sixth game of this series didn't spark like the outside world expected.

Instead, the Lakers took the lead early.

The final score was set, and it was a 17-point victory.

The hero is Kobe. In this game, he transformed into a charging warrior in the finals. He directly performed 1 vs. 5 in the game, and finally scored gorgeous statistics of 35+6+10.

This stopped Denver from moving forward.

Li Wan, who was watching the game, did the math for Kobe.

He beat Anthony by 17 points, and Anthony beat Paul by 58 points.

Added together, it is equivalent to saying that Kobe beat Paul by 73 points...

Um!

I am qualified to fight against Chris Paul, who beat Chris Paul by 69 points!

Chris Paul:???Use me as the unit of measurement for combat power?

I really like Q!

Carmelo Anthony looked at the final score with a bit of helplessness and a bit of unwillingness in his eyes...

Still lost?

"Melon" has played six games, averaging 27.5 points, 4.8 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game, and scored more than 30 points in three of them.

Facing the defending champion Lakers, the number of times this league can perform like this can be counted on one hand!

Carmelo Anthony is worthy of the name of "Peerless Twins"!

Can……

His performance is certainly very good!

But compared with Kobe, there is still a big gap...

He averaged 34 points, 5.8 rebounds and 5.8 assists per game, which were the numbers Kobe Bryant delivered in the Western Conference Finals.

He scored 40 points in the first game and 41 in the second game!

The "Black Mamba" with full firepower showed his fangs, letting everyone know what it means to be "the best in the league"!

This feeling of trying your best but still having a big gap really makes the arrogant "Melon" feel uncomfortable.

However, this is his feeling.

Kobe's impression of him has changed a lot in this series.

Before this series, when mentioning Anthony, Kobe's first reaction was that he was talented and could attack.

But that's all.

In Kobe's view, Anthony has many aspects worth complaining about.

The most obvious shortcoming...

It's just that his will to win is not strong.

For example, on his defensive end, you can't see the fierceness he possesses in order to win!

But in this round of the series, Anthony and Kobe fought from the offensive end to the defensive end, from the beginning of the game to the last moment of the game. The romance of fist-fighting made Kobe call it "enjoyable!"

Of course, this is just Kobe's feeling.

From Anthony's point of view, if he knew that Kobe actually changed his mind and looked at him favorably because he "elbowed" with him, then he would definitely curse in his heart:

abnormal!

because……

It's not that he wanted to "elbow" Kobe, but Kobe kept increasing the intensity of his elbows, and the referee didn't call it, he just responded in the same way!

But Kobe became more and more excited during the confrontation!

This "snake" is really "trembling"!

Li Wan has known this for a long time, and Anthony also knew this after the Western Conference Finals.

Won the Western Conference Finals championship trophy away from home.

There was not a trace of smile on the faces of the Lakers team.

It's as if they are the losers tonight...

No, in terms of this level of seriousness, even the loser Nuggets can't compare to them.

At the post-game press conference, the Nuggets general manager nodded with satisfaction when summarizing the Nuggets' results this season: "I think we did pretty well. We reached the Western Conference finals. Although we didn't win, we

, this is the second time in 24 years that we have reached the Western Conference Finals. Cameron has done a great job. I believe that next year we will create team history under his leadership..."

The Nuggets have never won a championship in franchise history.

Only made it to the finals once.

But that was also in the ABA league.

Putting aside that time, the Nuggets have not reached the Finals since entering the NBA.

From this, it is not difficult to understand why the Nuggets general manager almost laughed out loud just by reaching the Western Conference Finals.

This is already the best result of any previous general manager in Denver, and only one general manager has ever achieved it!

From now on, he is also the "best general manager" in the history of the Nuggets!

Carmelo Anthony also restored his "melon"-like smile at the press conference.

To a certain extent, his will to win is indeed not strong.

So it is a pity to stop in the Western Conference Finals, but think about it, the other three "Four Banana Boat Brothers" have long since disappeared, and he has persisted until now, it is really okay.

There can only be one overall champion and only one overall runner-up...

Who dares to say that the top four are not successful?

He specifically thanked Chauncey Billups, who was sitting next to him: "Chauncy taught me a lot, which also made me change. I enjoyed the time when I was a teammate with him. I think we are still

It will get better..."

These words were obviously very useful to Billups, and he narrowed his eyes with joy.

They all smiled like sunflowers.

The Lakers' postgame press conference.

Everyone's face was as straight as if they were attending a funeral.

There is no way, if Kobe doesn't smile, they really don't dare to laugh.

A reporter asked Kobe: "Before the start of the new season, did you ever think that you would meet Li Wan and the Magic in the finals?"

Kobe almost didn't think about it and said: "On the way to defending the title, anything can happen, so no matter who in the Eastern Conference enters the finals, we will not be surprised..."

"Lee Wan said they're going to take at least one win away from Los Angeles...what do you have to say about that?"

When the reporter finished speaking, his eyes were fixed on Kobe.

This is a naked provocation!

"If he takes at least one win out of L.A., then we'll be back in L.A. with three wins!"

Kobe's answer did not disappoint reporters.

A straight shot, full of dominance.

The media reports the next day also caused smoke to billow in Los Angeles. For those who didn’t know, they thought it was a volcano erupting in the Grand Canyon!

What makes the Los Angeles media a little anxious is...

Among the outside media, about 60 to 70% of the media are optimistic about Orlando, while only 30 to 40% of the media are optimistic about Los Angeles...

Moreover, people’s disapproval is justified:

The first three rounds of the finals series.

The Magic eliminated the 76ers 4-0 in the first round, and the Lakers did the same, sweeping the Jazz 4-0;

In the first round, the two teams tied!

Then in the second round, the Lakers played 7 games with the Rockets before barely escaping, but the Magic still only needed 4 games to eliminate their opponent, and this opponent... was the Cleveland Cavaliers;

In the second round, the Lakers were clearly in decline, but the Magic were still making great progress!

In the third round, the Magic encountered a little trouble, but still defeated the Bulls with a score of 4-1.

It took the Lakers 6 games to eliminate the Nuggets...

In the third round, the Magic won again!
