126 to 123, Tang Shuai scored 10 points in the last 2 minutes of the game, played for 45 minutes, scoring 42 points and 12 assists, helping the Lakers play Kai at home.

This is also the first defeat the Warriors encountered in the playoffs.

When the final whistle sounded, the players on the Warriors held their heads and looked at the timer with their hands, obviously unable to believe the result.

The fans in the stadium were in a rush of madness and defeating the arrogant Warriors was definitely a time to celebrate wildly for Los Angeles.

Shuai Tang and the Lakers players were cheered in heroic manner. When they left the player channel, they could still hear the excited shouts of fans on the scene.

The moment the fans on the Internet were also excited.

Some fans said this was a cross-century victory, a league-style victory, and a great victory that broke the vicious cycle of "winning the championship in groups".

Tang Shuai was praised as a pioneer, and his popularity rose rapidly after the end of this game. The most obvious manifestation was that his Twitter fans soared by 30.

The outside world responded a lot, but at the post-match press conference, Warriors head coach Kerr expressed his disdain for this result, believing that victory or defeat is common in the game. The Lakers played well in this game, but the team also had big problems on the defensive end. In the second half, they could still win a "Warrior-like" victory.

The so-called "warrior-style" victory refers to relying on the strong attack power of 4, the score difference is wide enough in the first three quarters, and the game is won in close proximity.

Kerr made this statement after losing, which shows that he still felt from the bottom of his heart that the Lakers were not enough to pose a threat to the Warriors.

Compared to Cole's high profile, Billups performed extremely low-key in the interview after the game. He said that there was a gap in overall strength between the two teams in this game, but the team won the game through their overall strength.

However, low-key is low-key. When the reporter asked whether winning a game means that the goal had been reached, he shook his head and said, "Of course not. Our goal is the same as the other 29 teams in the league. We are all championships. We will never be satisfied before completing this goal."

On May 17, US time, after two days of rest, the Lakers and the Warriors ushered in the fourth game between the two sides at the Staples Center.

This game was almost a replica of the previous game. The Lakers still kept Tang Shuai on the court, and the Warriors still did not seem to adjust their strategy. The two teams were in a fight from the beginning. Until the end of the third quarter, there was no Warrior-style game that Cole expected to appear. The two teams played until the critical moment.

What's slightly different from the last game is that perhaps it has been unable to open the score and caused the Warriors' superstars to fluctuate psychologically. Curry, Durant and Thompson missed key goals in succession, but Tang Shuai still performed like a god descending to earth. With one minute left in the game, the Warriors were actually 7 points behind the Lakers, and the game was finalized.

The moment the whistle sounded, Tang Shuai collapsed directly to the ground, his eyes filled with stars, and he almost fainted when he was exhausted.

After playing 45 minutes in the last game, he played another 43 minutes in this game, which was even more exaggerated than Iverson's playing time at the beginning. This was almost a desperate style of playing, but he gritted his teeth and persevered.

When his teammates helped Tang Shuai to sit down on the bench, the audience was excited and some fans couldn't help crying.

Perhaps basketball itself is just a sport, but the indomitable and tenacity of competitive sports can arouse the deepest resonance in people's hearts. Tang Shuai's behavior of fighting against five, completely against the will of heaven is really touching.

The United States is a country that praises heroes, which can be seen from the Marvel they filmed and the sci-fi movies they tried to create heroes. Now, Tang Shuai is already a real hero in the eyes of Los Angeles fans and even those who dislike the Warriors' group.

After winning two home games in a row, the scores of both sides also tied 2-2. This score is probably a result that no one had expected. The Lakers not only won, but also forced the game to the King of Heaven. Both sides stood on the same starting line, and the probability of winning the series was forced to be kicked 55.

This performance of the Lakers finally made Kerr re-examine the Lakers, an opponent who seemed to be far inferior to his.

The Warriors have the best record in the league, and they will have the home advantage of key games. This round of the game will also be held in the Oracle Arena.

This is not the first time Tang Shuai participated in the Tianwangshan game. Last year, when he was in the Clippers, he played against the Warriors. He also knew that this game would be a big test for the team and himself.

And at this moment, something that had a great impact on him happened.

Su Mei is ready to return to China.

It was not because of the conflict between the two, but because of her career.

Su Mei has been with him from China to the United States and has been with him until now. It can be said that she has paid everything she can do. Moreover, Tang Shuai has earned enough money for them to live for several lifetimes, but after all, she is still a very professional person and cannot be willing to be a vase at home.

Her internship ended as early as April, because she helped her re-enter the Sweet Sixteen and even won many games, which made her famous in the domestic coaching industry.

When the domestic coaching level was generally low, she quickly became a popular guy. Several clubs directly extended olive branches to her, among which Zhejiang Chouzhou Bank and Shanxi Fenjiu directly gave the position of the head coach.

Choosing a coach who has no experience as the head coach, and it is the head coach, is unique in history, but because Su Mei is Tang Shuai's teacher, coupled with the relationship between the two and the multiple reasons for her success, it eventually happened.

This is also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Su Mei.

Originally, she was planning to wait until Tang Shuai finished the playoffs before returning to China, but the preparation for the new season was imminent, and it was no longer possible to delay it. If she dragged it any longer, the head coach's position would be left behind.

Although Tang Shuai couldn't bear to leave Su Mei back to China, he had no reason to stop her from doing what she wanted to do when facing a woman who gave so much for her.

"I don't care about your scenes, but if I find out that you have a new woman in the United States, I will rush to the United States with scissors and cut your little brother off." At the airport, Su Mei looked at Tang Shuai with red eyes, and said to Tang Shuai in a threatening tone for the first time.

Tang Shuai nodded.

Su Mei smiled with satisfaction, then took her luggage, turned around and walked towards the boarding gate.

Tang Shuai looked at the back that was leaving and suddenly seemed a little lonely. When the game was at its most critical point, he had to fall into a state of fighting alone.

Su Mei, who was walking forward in the distance, suddenly trembled slightly.

Tang Shuai showed a worried look, and at this moment, Su Mei turned around and looked at him, her face full of tears, and she was already crying.

However, after taking a look, she turned around firmly and walked into the boarding gate resolutely.

On May 21, US time, at the Oracle Arena, the battle between the Lakers and the Warriors officially began.

There was a small episode in this game because there was a concert in Oakland and Swift also appeared in the Oracle Arena.

Cole finally responded to this game. He made adjustments to the lineup, removed Pachuria from the starter, and put Iguodala in the starter, directly playing the Death Five small lineup.

Because of Durant's existence, this five-small lineup is much more mature and stable than last season.

This achieved immediate results in the game. Although Tang Shuai's performance was still stable, his physical strength was also consumed rapidly after the speed was brought up.

When it comes to rotation time, it is impossible for him to stay on the court like in the previous two games.

When Tang Shuai got together, the competition between the two sides immediately became the familiar rhythm of the first two games.

The fans at home also cheered loudly for the home team. The Warriors became more and more brave. West, who came on the bench, scored 6 points in a row on the offensive end, helping the home team to double digits, proving that he was not just here to hug the thigh.

121 to 101, after adjusting the lineup, the Warriors ushered in a 20-point victory at home.

After pressing this game, they already led 3-2 in the big score and won the match point of the series.

After this game, Cole finally fulfilled his promise and won the game in a "warrior-like" way.

In the locker room after the game, the Lakers players were somewhat disappointed. The Warriors could make a lot of adjustments due to the lineup, but the Lakers had very little room for adjustment in comparison. So far, it can be said that they have done their best.

"I'll go back first." After taking a shower, Tang Shuai did not communicate much with his teammates, and left the stadium with his bag on his back.

Su Mei's return to China could not have had any impact on him. He had already overcome this in the game, but once the game was over, the feeling of worry was uncontrollably affected by him.

When he was about to reach the door, he took a deep breath to relieve his mood, and then prepared to take a taxi back to the hotel.

But as soon as he walked out, he looked up and saw a man wearing a long gown, looking at him with a smile.

"Taylor, are you waiting for me?" Tang Shuai asked in confusion when he saw Swift's eyes.

Swift nodded, then said, "Do you mind if I'll accompany you for a while?"

Shuai Tang hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Among all the women he contacted, Swift should be his only friend. He had a bad mentality at this time and did need a role like a friend.

The two of them walked along the path outside the stadium and then walked forward.

On the road next to them, a Hummer kept enough distance to follow them, and should be Swift's bodyguard. To be continued.
