"This is the game. Until the last second of the game, no one knows what will happen in the next time. I made a mistake that I shouldn't have made. I didn't expect that the Celtics would do this.
Simply choose to foul. Coach Rivers is a very good head coach." At the press conference after the game, Phil Jackson put all the blame on his shoulders with a look of helplessness: "As for that,
I don’t think I need to explain what happened during the free throw. Everyone should have heard it. I don’t want to accuse the Celtics, but what I have to say is that this kind of thing should not happen.”
"I don't want to say anything more about today's game." At the press conference, another protagonist, Kobe Bryant, said with a cold face: "We worked hard and had an advantage for a while, but in the end we lost. That's how this game is.
.As for those fans...what they say has nothing to do with me."
The dynasty war ended after two hours, but the aftermath of the dynasty war is destined to affect the NBA for a long time, especially since a series of things happened in this game that can serve as long-term topics.
Paul Pierce was directly ejected from the game because he complained to and provoked the referee and was given two technical fouls. However, the Celtics, who lost Paul Pierce, broke out with extremely strong fighting power. He transferred to the Celtics this season.
Ray Allen, who has always played mediocrely since then, hit eight three-pointers, the most in the season so far. His 30-point performance in a single game helped the Celtics successfully hold on to the score in a disadvantageous situation. His aerial pass at the last moment was even more impressive.
It directly determines the outcome of the game.
Kevin Garnett's performance was even more god-like. His performance of 21 points and 9 rebounds was not that amazing. However, he hit consecutive key goals at the last moment and finally defeated the Lakers, but the roar of the Wolf King resounded throughout Boston.
.
Not to mention the shouts of 'rapist' that rang out from the TD North Shore Garden Arena when Kobe missed a key free throw. There are too many topics to hype.
Fans of the two teams, Boston and Los Angeles, began to engage in crazy verbal spats in the media, on Twitter, and on blogs, with the quarrels flying everywhere. Obviously, the result of a game cannot smooth over any turmoil. Of course,
Inevitably, there were criticisms directed at some players, including Kobe's missed free throw at the end, Bynum's inability to defend inside, Pau Gasol's weakness when facing Garnett, and even Adrian received a lot of criticism.
However, as a loser, no matter how exciting the game is, it is inevitable to be criticized.
For the Los Angeles Lakers, although the dynasty showdown is important, it is just an ordinary regular season in the entire season. After this game, the Lakers' schedule has also entered December.
As far as the schedule is concerned, the Lakers, who have finished their dynasty showdown, will face a more intense schedule. They will fly directly to Salt Lake City to face the Jazz in back-to-back games. The Jazz's home court has always been notoriously difficult to play. Not to mention back-to-back games, especially
In the last game, the Lakers tried their best and failed to win the game in the end.
In Salt Lake City, the overall state of the Los Angeles Lakers was very poor. Although they struggled hard for three quarters, in the fourth quarter, the lack of physical strength began to show on most of the main players. The Jazz took the opportunity to widen the score gap, and finally
120:112, the Utah Jazz relied on their home advantage to steal a victory from the Lakers and gave the Lakers their first two-game losing streak this season.
After the painful trip to Salt Lake City, the Lakers can finally return to their home stadium, Staples, but they only have one day to rest, because one day later they will face the challenge of the Eastern Conference's powerful Orlando Magic.
For the Los Angeles Lakers, who have experienced two consecutive hard-fought games, one day's rest time is obviously not enough. Although some physical strength has been restored, the players' condition has not been able to adjust in time. The Lakers face in such a state
They made 12 of 18 shots from the field, with a shooting percentage of 66%, and 7 of 10 free throws. They scored a total of 31 points. They grabbed 24 rebounds on both offense and defense, including 9 offensive rebounds, and sent out 6 blocks.
The violent 'Warcraft' Howard, even as powerful as the Lakers, was still difficult to resist, ushering in the first three-game losing streak of the season at home with 99:104.
After three consecutive losses, the Lakers have endured too much pressure.
But the good news is also coming. After this extremely difficult schedule, the Lakers' next schedule will become easier.
Two days later, they will go to Minnesota to face the Minnesota Timberwolves, who no longer have Garnett, then return home to face the cross-city rivals Los Angeles Clippers, and then continue to sit at home against Denver, which has a poor record this season due to the delay in the golden double gun running in.
Nuggets.
Compared with the previous one, this schedule is undoubtedly very easy. And the Lakers did not miss this good opportunity to end the losing streak and start the winning streak again. They had a lively three-game winning streak, the Timberwolves, Clippers, and Nuggets.
There is absolutely no way to stop the Lakers' progress.
The subsequent opponents are the Grizzlies, Hornets, Bucks, and SuperSonics. Except for the Hornets, who are ranked third in the Western Conference with a luxurious record under the leadership of Chris Paul, the other three teams are obviously difficult to cause damage to the Lakers.
Threat. As for the Hornets, because David West is in injury trouble, their record has not fluctuated yet. The performance of Queen Bee Chris Paul has made New Orleans people full of hope, but their strength has indeed been affected.
Small impact.
Many people are optimistic that the Lakers will usher in seven consecutive victories in the upcoming schedule. After all, after passing through the difficult and difficult schedule at the beginning, most of the Lakers' remaining opponents are not strong teams, and they have survived the start.
In the past two months, the Lakers' record will definitely get better and better.
However, at this time, Adrian also received some news that was hard to say good or bad.
"Is this news confirmed? Those two guys really decided to trade me after the All-Star Game?" A bitter smile appeared on Adrian's face. He originally planned to leave the Lakers after the end of this season.
But now it seems that his plan is likely to fail.
"I can't be sure about Ed, but I did get some information in this regard. The Lakers have secretly made an offer to the Magic."
"Magic, who should I replace, Howard?"
"That should be the case." Ryan nodded: "The Magic have not refused. They are considering it. I guess what they are most concerned about now is Howard's intention." (To be continued...)
