Tonight, Pau Gasol really opened up.

He is expected to break his single-game scoring record in the finals and even the playoffs today. He has already scored 32 points. With his current momentum, scoring 40 points tonight is not a problem.

So at this time, not to mention that Phil Jackson didn't want him to end the game, even if he was allowed to rest, he didn't want to sit on the bench.

Playing basketball is always about working hard, taking advantage of the good feeling and setting an unparalleled record is the right way.

As the scores are getting higher and higher, the Spaniard may not be interested in competing for the MVP of the finals. Although the data in the first three games are not as good as Fan Xi, and the popularity is not as good as Fan Xi. However, he works hard and averages pretty good data in the finals.

The last two are fierce pulls upwards.

How can Pau Gasol not win the Finals MVP?

Gasol has this idea in his heart.

The finals mvp is the jewel in the crown and the ultimate affirmation of a player's career.

Winning a Finals MVP will push Pau Gasol's historical status forward.

Business value will also increase dramatically.

Who can resist this temptation?

This is the best opportunity for Pau Gasol in his career, because there will never be such a disparity in the penalty area in the history of the finals. Now the person on the front line of the Lakers' confrontation is Fan Xi.

Gasol is very grateful to this little brother. He also knows that this little brother plays hard and does not put statistics first.

So, what reason do you have for not trying your best? It doesn’t matter if the players on the same team pick peaches.

At worst, after the finals, you can invite him out for dinner or travel.

"cheer up!"

Gasol clapped his hands. The power forward who had always been submissive before even showed a leadership style tonight.

He kept Derek Fisher steady on the ball and screened him from beyond the arc.

This is something that is not even in the tactical manual.

His enthusiasm made Phil Jackson greatly admired, but also worried that Paul was a little too excited tonight.

Derek Fisher passed the basketball to the free throw line, and Pau Gasol received the basketball. He made a false click, deceived the aging Howard, went straight into the penalty area, faced the defense, and made a throw.

Gasol is skilled in ball control, has an extremely long wingspan, and has the skills and offensive skills of a small forward.

When he finds the feeling and moves forward bravely, no one on the Heat team can resist him.

This is the difficulty the Heat are currently facing.

They originally thought that Kobe was out for the season and the Lakers could just catch him. Even if the Lakers had an advantage inside, they were just toothless tigers with only appearance and no fighting ability at all.

Unexpectedly, Fan Xi, a rookie who had caused them trouble in the past, suddenly appeared. Not only did he perform extraordinary performance, but he also completely connected the Lakers' outside and inside lines, allowing the Lakers' power in the penalty area to unscrupulously weigh heavily on Miami's heart.

blow.

Pat Riley watched the first three quarters of the game, and he even closed his eyes in despair.

He realized a terrible thing. Although the departure of Kobe Bryant weakened the Lakers' offensive methods and defensive strength on the outside, it made the Lakers become more integrated, more united, and more efficient, with one less player inside and outside.

Transfer station.

In other words, there is one less powerful middleman.

Nowadays, Fanxi has opened up internal and external lines, and there are no middlemen to make profit from the price difference. Although the unit price has been reduced, the profit has not been reduced.

Is God going to kill me?

Pat Riley looked up at the top of Staples Arena. The fortune teller came to the position with the Lakers back then: Riley was an assistant coach in Los Angeles. Later, he took advantage of the chaos to develop a good relationship with Magic Johnson and became the head coach.

Magician, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar created a famous show-time and became a league championship coach at a very young age.

However, the good times did not last long.

Because Pat Riley's training methods were very cruel and his coaching style was tough, he was eventually ousted by Magic and kicked out of Los Angeles.

However, Pat Riley is indeed a capable person.

After creating a gorgeous show-time fast break in Los Angeles, he created the famous defensive iron curtain in New York, the iron-blooded Knicks, and set off a bloody storm in the Eastern Conference in the 1990s. He and Ewing have always been on the front line against the Bulls dynasty.

, played many famous games.

Pat Riley's personal abilities have been sublimated in New York, but at this time he is no longer satisfied with being a head coach.

Then, he arrived in Miami in a secret way and became the president and head coach of the Heat. He quickly helped the Heat become a powerhouse in the Eastern Conference, compete with the Knicks, and even defeated the Knicks.

Then, he seized the opportunity to get Shaquille O'Neal in the summer of 2004 and lifted the championship trophy for the Miami Heat in 2006.

As O'Neal aged, he quickly built new Galaxy battleships, and the Miami Big Three came into being.

Although James' choice has been questioned by some people.

But for Pat Riley, there is no doubt that he succeeded. He proved his ability to take charge of a team.

The Miami Heat also proved his wisdom by reaching the Finals in the first season of rebuilding.

However, the Heat's passivity in the finals is deeply hurting Pat Riley. Although he won't say anything like "second place is the biggest loser", he is still very worried about being able to complete his achievements in one game.

regret.

The most important thing is that he never dreamed that the person who would achieve the ultimate success in this finals was not the chosen one who was 'redempted', not the Black Mamba who was the 'last hit of his career', but the fledgling Miracle Son, who should now be called the Little Duke.

Already.

This nickname is really well chosen. It is aimed at James in every aspect, but it also shows his own uniqueness in every aspect.

well!

Pat Riley sighed.

Pat Riley, the great fortune teller who has dominated the world for many years and has never even taken the dynasty coach Phil Jackson seriously, is filled with sadness at the moment.

He realized that many times his hard work was no match for others' luck.

The Big Three that he tried his best to put together were eventually dismantled and penetrated by Phil Jackson's undrafted draft pick who didn't know where he came from.

Why is Phil Jackson always so lucky?

In the Bulls, he has the best player in the league, Michael Jordan, and Scottie Pippen, who voluntarily signed a low salary.

During the Lakers' first three consecutive championships, they had the historically dominant center Shaquille O'Neal and the fledgling Kobe Bryant.

Now, it seems that he is about to create another three consecutive championships. He actually has a historical rookie under his belt out of thin air, and he is still an undrafted player.

How unfair fate is.

Under Pat Riley's dim pupils, there was a desolate background.

He is so tough that he is even praying to God at this moment: Why can't you give me a little good luck?

…

Pau Gasol is expanding his own influence. He wants to show that he can still support the Lakers without the assistance of Jack. This will be very beneficial to the subsequent mvp competition.

Therefore, he played very actively.

Not only did he extend to the top of the three-point arc to cover the aging Fisher, he even began to take the initiative to hold the ball and face the frame for singles.

He has a good touch.

In order to limit him, Wade and Chris Bosh all came on the court at 2 minutes and 36 seconds into the fourth quarter.

The Lakers stood still.

This is the Lakers' strategic advantage.

Moreover, Gasol is playing so well now, there is no reason to make changes and just wait and see.

Phil Jackson sits firmly on the Diaoyutai.

Fan Xi stopped admonishing.

On the other hand, Andrew Bynum next to him muttered: "I think this guy is deliberately racking up points. He wants to win the MVP."

Fan Xi ignored Little Shark, who was always so outspoken.

However, this also illustrates a problem. The Lakers' confidence is currently at an all-time high. As the situation on the court stabilizes and improves, everyone has begun to think about merit-based rewards after the finals.

Andrew Bynum himself has never thought about competing for the Finals MVP, but after looking at his own data, even with his brain, he realized that this was impossible.

"Jack, you need to score more points in the fourth quarter. Although your previous statistics and performance are very eye-catching, if you let the Spaniard score points in the next two games, you will be in danger."

As he spoke, Andrew Bynum leaned into Fan Xi's ear again and lowered his voice: "Actually, there are many people who don't want you to win the Finals MVP, including people within our team."

Little Shark thought he was whispering, but in fact most of the bench could hear him.

But everyone pretended not to hear clearly.

Fan Xi also pretended not to hear.

In the current war, we should not say anything that is not conducive to unity, and we should not do anything that is not conducive to unity.

On the court, Gasol once again launched an attack. He received the ball from the free throw line and went straight in.

However, the moves are old.
