Chapter 1795 A Sudden Change of Situation

On the night of May 21st, at the Dallas International Airport, just as the Eastern Heat and Bulls were fiercely fighting on the court, a charter flight from Los Angeles landed steadily here.

The cabin door opened, and before I saw the beautiful flight attendant, I could hear Farmar shouting from inside the cabin: "Hey, hey, brothers, the Bulls next door lost, 85-75 , another bladder game!”

"Damn it, the points are getting lower and lower. What about Rose, why is he so weak tonight." - Kobe Bryant.

"Let me see, let me see! I just watched the beginning before I got on the plane. Didn't the Bulls lead in the first quarter? Why did they lose so miserably." - Gasol.

"Old James played well, he picked up 30+10 again, Wade was also good, with 24 points and 7 assists, but it was Bosh, who was indeed the familiar Bosh, with 11 points and 7 rebounds, Bosh probably cried. ”—Ji Feng.

"Hahahaha, Bosh is so miserable. This proves that the team is an example of teammates in C." - Artest.

…

While playing and joking, they walked out of the cabin. There is no doubt that the leaders Ji Feng and Kobe were wearing suits. They were fashionable from the moment they got off the plane. Many crew members were secretly taking pictures, but the flight attendants did not change the little changes. Move because she had already taken a photo with Ji Feng before getting off the plane!

Yes, this is the popularity of the Lakers today. As the most popular basketball team in the world, even in the entire sports world, there are few that can compare with it. Maybe the Spanish football team just broke fate and won the championship in the World Cup. Counting one, Barcelona, ​​which has been racing on the football field in recent years, can also be counted as one. Other than that, there is no other player in the world that is as popular as the Lakers.

Nowadays, the Lakers guys are famous all over the world. In China, there are almost no fans who can’t recognize them. Even Mbenga, a ten thousand year water dispenser, is recognized by people, let alone others. And in the United States, there are also Similarly, many media describe the Lakers as having restored the glory of the NBA in the United States. This is not flattering. Almost everyone knows the story of the Lakers becoming an invincible team that swept the United States in three years, and the influence of the NBA has also spread. Stern was greatly satisfied and immersed in his own vision. Selecting this magical kid from China despite opposition was indeed one of the best decisions he made before leaving the league.

The atmosphere within the Lakers team has not changed due to their increase in fame. It is still as harmonious as ever. This is completely different from the conflicts that dynasty teams in the past have had from time to time.

The most important reason for this is of course victory, continuous victory. The Lakers have won more than 70 games in the regular season for four consecutive seasons, and won three consecutive championships in the playoffs. Last season, they were 16-0, a historic victory. To win the championship, you can imagine how many games the Lakers have won over the years.

To put it bluntly, the Lakers have won more games in these four seasons than some teams have won in ten years.

There is a saying in the stadium that winning can cover up a lot of things.

Under such circumstances, the atmosphere cannot be bad. After all, no sportsman can struggle with victory.

In addition, it is naturally the leadership ability of JK Double Star. I have to admit that Ji Feng is a guy with rich leadership ability. This may be related to his genetics, or it may be the ability developed through various previous events. In short, Ji Feng seems to He was born to be a leader. He got along very well with the players, coaches, and even masseurs in the Lakers. Old Buss would even invite him to his house to drink red wine. The Zen master also introduced him as his most proud disciple, especially Kobe. Treating him as a brother and sister, the substitutes were also willing to help this man who was much younger than them work hard and shout.

Just like what Farmar said sourly, Ji Feng is a guy who gets massages for free, which is something you can't envy.

And Kobe also changed people's impression of him in the past. The scene that people expected OK to fall apart never happened. Instead, the relationship between JK and JK got better and better. Ji Feng even became the godfather of Kobe's youngest daughter.

The two also have an increasingly tacit understanding on the court. Although the James and Way connection is now being hyped by the media, JK has been firmly at the top of the list of the most tacit understanding duo, and the power of the two is as strong as ever, always dominating the regular season and playoffs. Ranked first in points per game.

This not only made the Lakers black people gnash their teeth with hatred, but also made the Lakers fans talk about it. Who said Kobe was intolerant? It was just that he couldn't tolerate people who did not conform to his three views.

The core relationship is harmonious, and others will naturally not do anything unnecessary. Even Artest and Barnes are closely united around JK. The Lakers team is naturally monolithic. This atmosphere is missed by many people who left.

Lakers star Sun Yue, who plays in a BJ team, keeps talking about the years when he and Ji Feng played side by side in the Lakers. Ariza, who was unhappy with being kicked out of the Rockets, often used the Lakers to ridicule the Rockets management. Of course, this That's true, Morey is an idiot.

But tonight, the atmosphere within the Lakers team has been tested!

At 7 p.m., G3 of the Western Conference Finals begins at the home court of the Dallas Mavericks.

Needless to say, you all understand how important G3 is to both teams. The Lakers are eager to win on the road to continue their undefeated legend, and the Mavericks also want to bring back a team that has almost fallen off the cliff. G3 is their only chance. If they lose this The game is equivalent to a death sentence, and being eliminated is only a matter of time. Referring to the Thunder in the last round, after losing G3, G4 could not win no matter how hard they tried.

So the Mavericks came here fighting for their lives in this game!

As soon as the Mavericks opened the game, they started to compete with the Lakers. Dirk continued to use his ability to attract the defense and frequently assisted his teammates to score, and his teammates were also very good. Marion felt a little like returning to the Suns tonight, shooting That's called an accurate shot. He made all the first 4 shots and a three-pointer. The Mavericks once led 18-10 by 8 points.

But then the Lakers stabilized their position. Starting from the breakout of the season peak and scoring 2+1, the Lakers' momentum began to rise. They seized the opportunity to counterattack with a wave of 11-2 attacks, leading the score in one fell swoop. At the end of the first quarter, The Lakers led 32-27 by 5 points.

However, in the second quarter, the situation on the court suddenly changed. Dirk came on as a substitute without taking any rest. He suddenly broke into the game and caused Powell to commit a shooting foul. He scored two free throws.

This ball can be whistled or not. Ji Feng thought it was normal even if it was whistled in the away game. As for the home whistle, there is nothing we can do about this kind of ball.

However, then, Powell was whistled for a foul on the defensive end again. Within 1 minute, Powell fouled twice and left the field, which was a bit outrageous.

Zen Master expressed his dissatisfaction, but was whistled for a technical foul by the referee, which directly caused the mentality of the Lakers players to explode.

"Damn it, you guys are calling the game with your fucking ass!" Gasol, who has always had a good temper, cursed. You can imagine how infuriating this ball was.

However, it didn't work. The Lakers still had to accept this situation. The Mavericks took advantage of the situation to reverse the score. In this quarter, the Mavericks made 20 free throws. Dirk made 12 of 12 free throws. He scored as many as 16 points in a single quarter. The Lakers Trailing 56-64 at halftime.

In the second half, the whistles on the court continued. The Lakers quickly developed bad emotions under such whistles, and their actions on the court became more and more intense. Before the end of the third quarter, Bynum was whistled again for being dissatisfied with the penalty. A foul was committed.

"Damn it, you're not letting us win." Ji Feng had already sensed the smell at this time. The whistle was really too biased. The whistle sounded when the Mavericks broke through, but the Lakers didn't blow it no matter how hard they fought. How can you play this!

But even so in the third quarter, the Lakers still relied on Ji Feng's 20 points in a single quarter and 45 points in the third quarter to chase the score to 87-90, only 3 points behind.

However, in the fourth quarter, as Dirk made his 24th free throw of the game and made 24 of 24 free throws in a single game, the Lakers eventually lost 112-116, ending their 26-game winning streak! ! !
