Chapter 1376 Decide Your Destiny and Break Your Dreams

The Lakers ultimately failed to win in the first away game, and were pulled back by the Magic, who had been pushed to the edge of the cliff, at their own home, with a total score of 2-1.

Strictly speaking, this game is the most exciting game in the three games of the finals, not only because the two teams hit overtime, but because the scores of the two sides have been entangled throughout the game, and the situation on the field is also The dog's teeth are intertwined and it is indistinguishable. You sing and I will come on stage. The score alternately leads. Neither team can kill the opponent with one stick. It was not until the last minute of the final overtime that the victory was finally divided. With the magic three-pointer in mind, the two sides might even be able to play a few more overtimes.

Looking at the whole game, there is quite a feeling of being equal in strength, which is fundamentally different from the first two pure abuse games.

"Magic finally wakes up!" Orlando Sports News used such a headline to describe the matchup after the game.

"Fantastic lore! God bless Orlando!" Orlando Daily Sports even played theology, crediting the victory to God bless.

What's even more coquettish is the Orlando Novelty News. They directly cast Lewis's quasi-lore picture P into the appearance of God's halo, with the text: "Lewis, eternal God!"

I really know how to play, and I can feel the joy of Oran Multimedia through the thick newspaper.

And the Magic is even more excited. Big Van Gundy couldn't hide his excitement when he was interviewed by reporters after the game: "There is no doubt, this is our true level, we have regained the feeling of the game at home, and the game played well. It was difficult, but fortunately, we finally did it!"

Howard smiled in front of the media for the first time in the finals: "Oh, I know, my statistics are not good, but so what, I have always been a team player, and winning is the best."

Lewis was even more excited. This lore can definitely surpass his quasi-lore in the Eastern Conference Finals and become a new masterpiece of his career. Facing the reporters on the inner and outer three floors, Lewis said very low-key: "This is my job. , I can always be trusted."

The victory of this game also inspired the enthusiasm of the whole Orlando. That night, no less than 100,000 fans took to the streets to start the celebration mode. In addition to the number of fans, most of the fans are still rational, they just shouted when facing reporters: "Magic championship!"

There is no doubt that this victory is of great significance to the entire Magic team and all fans who support the Magic. From a distance, this is the first victory in the Magic's history in the finals, and they finally ended the embarrassment. The 6-game losing streak also avoided becoming the team with the longest losing streak in the history of the finals. From the current point of view, tying the big score to 2-1 will undoubtedly let them take a foot back from the cliff. Worry about being swept by the Lakers, and it's hard not to get them into the wild with this score:

If they win the next game, it will be 2-2. Does that mean that they still have a chance to compete for the championship!

This is naturally true. 2-1 and 3-0 are definitely two different things. There are many teams in history that have lost two away games and then won the championship. The most important thing is that the finals schedule is still very beneficial to the Magic. There are still 2 home games left. If they can win both, they will go to Staples with match point. In this way, even if the Lakers still have two home games, the Magic will have a greater chance of winning.

Of course, they thought so, but would the Lakers let this happen?

After the game, the losing Lakers were not depressed. After a brief disappointment, the Lakers players who came out of the locker room have returned to normal, their expressions are still calm, and they are in a mood to attack each other.

Kobe also laughed at himself, saying that if he hadn't threw the last three-pointer, they should have been outside instead of here...

The atmosphere was generally very good. Ji Feng was still in the mood to call and chat with Hot Bar after the game. By the way, he also sent text messages to tease Avril who was preparing for a concert in Orlando, saying that the reason for the loss was because she did not come to the scene. Come on, Ji Feng walked slowly to the press conference hall after getting the assurance that he would come to the scene to show his strength in person at the next meeting...

That's right, Ji Feng participated as a representative in the press conference after this game, and because after the game, the tired Lakers veterans clamored to go back to the hotel to rest, so as a physical monster, Ji Feng became the representative. But by the time Ji Feng arrived at the press conference hall, the Magic interview had already begun.

When Ji Feng sat down, he happened to hear Howard next door touting his team's performance:

"Yeah, we beat them, that's all."

Ji Feng pouted and didn't refute. To be honest, they didn't have the desire to sweep the opponent. The championship was the goal, not sweeping, and losing was within their expectations.

You must know that although 4 of the Lakers scored in double figures in this game, Ji Feng scored 25 points, 10 assists and 7 rebounds, Kobe 26 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists, Gasol 20 points and 10 rebounds, Bynum 12 points, 9 rebounds and 3 blocks , and Fisher 8 points, Farmar 8 points, Ariza 7 points.

But in fact, the overall shooting percentage of the Lakers is not good, only 38% in the first half, and barely reached 40% in the end, while the Magic's figure is an astonishing 58%, which is their highest shooting percentage in the entire playoffs, The final 112 points were also their highest score in the playoffs.

With such a shooting percentage, they only beat the Lakers by 4 points, or through overtime, so there is no need to say more about how the Magic won.

Therefore, the main reason for the Lakers' loss in this game is that the long-distance travel has led to their poor state, including Ji Feng's shooting rate of only 50%. You must know that the Lakers have 8 more assists and 16 more rebounds than the Magic in the frontcourt. There were 8 more rebounds, 2 fewer turnovers, and 14 fewer free throws. In this way, the Lakers and the Magic played in overtime, so the Lakers were actually very satisfied with the performance of this game.

In addition to feeling overwhelming, good luck, the benefit of the home court, and the referee's care, the Magic's winning is also supported by a force in my heart that doesn't want to be swept away. This anger will disappear after this game, so the Lakers are naturally not worried. .

The hidden dangers of magic are still very obvious.

The best player in this game was Lewis, who made 10 of 18 shots, 5 of 6 three-pointers and 6 of 8 free throws. He scored 31 points and hit a quasi-lore. He was the first hero of the Magic. .

It was followed by Alston with 19 points, Nelson with 10 points and 8 assists, Turkoglu with 15 points, and the perimeter Musketeers almost all opened.

However, the inside core Howard still made 4 of 10 shots and 5 of 8 free throws. He only scored 13 points and 13 rebounds. None of the three finals games scored more than 20 points, and the rebounds were lackluster.

That's why Ji Feng said at the end of the press conference; "We are the real us in the next game."

The battle of fate is decided, it's time to pierce their dreams.
