Chapter 669: Reaching the Western Conference Finals

"Victory, we entered the Western Conference Finals!"

"After eliminating the Lakers, I knew the Warriors would be able to do it. Well done!"

…

The Warriors fans on both sides cheered and cheered the moment the referee blew the final whistle. They clapped and shouted excitedly.

On the court, the Warriors players celebrated excitedly, while most of the Lakers players looked lonely and unwilling. They fell at the feet of the Warriors for two consecutive years. The Lakers players were unwilling to accept it.

Reluctant to give up, the Lakers players had to accept it, and then walked into the players' tunnel in silence one by one. Behind them were still heart-shaking cheers, but the cheers did not belong to them.

"mvp! mvp!" When Yang Shuai smiled and greeted the fans around him, the whole stadium burst into cheers again, and Yang Shuai also ran into the player tunnel amidst such cheers.

"The whole audience is shouting loudly for MVP. Such shouts belong to Yang. In this game, Yang Shuai once again showed his MVP strength. 44 points, 8 assists, 10 rebounds, 3 steals and 1 block. This is Yang's entire game.

Data, his 6 points and 1 steal at the last moment were the key factors for the Warriors to win the game."

Listening to Barkley's voice on the screen and watching the Warriors fans cheering, the Lakers fans in front of the screen felt completely uncomfortable.

"Fuck, hell, how can you lose? The Purple and Gold Army's goal this season is to win the championship, the championship!" A shirtless Lakers fan picked up the beer bottle in his hand and smashed it forward. With a 'crash' sound, the TV

The screen was smashed into countless pieces.

"It's the Warriors again, but we lost to the Warriors again? Can't we pass the test of the Oakland people?" After scratching his hair, the middle-aged man picked up the bottle in front of him and stuffed it into his mouth, letting the strong drink go.

pouring into his throat.

"The Lakers lost? Lost..." An old man with white hair pointed at the screen, and then suddenly fell to the floor, clutching his chest. For a moment, the whole family was in chaos.

For the Lakers players and die-hard fans, the game that just ended left them in an extremely bad mood, and the excitement it brought gave rise to one accident after another.

For Warriors fans, this result will undoubtedly allow them to have a good sleep tonight. After the players from both sides disappeared into the tunnel, the Warriors fans at the scene also stood up and left the arena one by one.

"Dad, Mom, let's go too." Seeing that the people were almost gone, Chu Xiyun stood up and said.

Li Ru stood up and said with a smile: "Xi Yun, I really heard what you said. Sure enough, Xiao Yang and his team won the victory. The shout just now made people's hearts beat."

"Mom, just because you are here to watch the game today, Yang Shuai has to perform well." Chu Xiyun said with a smile.

"Well, thanks to Xiao Yang's performance at the last moment, but it's very dangerous to win." Chu Guangzhou obviously knows basketball better than Li Ru.

Hearing her parents praising her sweetheart, the smile on Chu Xiyun's face became even brighter, and she secretly determined that if Yang Shuai proposed to sleep in his room again tonight, she would not say a word to refute.

"The Warriors are a strong team. They brought us a lot of pressure throughout the game, but the key lies in ourselves. The mistakes at the last moment were the most important reason for the defeat. Yang is a player worthy of respect.

His performance on the field was almost impeccable against his opponents. I hope he can lead the team further..."

In the post-game press conference, Kobe did not hesitate to praise Yang Shuai, but this is also the norm in the NBA. If you still say the opponent is rubbish after losing, doesn't it mean that you are even more rubbish?

Although Kobe repeatedly emphasized the strength of the Warriors after the game, reporters were not ready to let him go. In fact, what they wanted to know more was whether Kobe was dissatisfied with the current situation of the team, because this way they would have news to dig out.

Kobe has been in the league for so many years and has gone through many battles, big and small, and he will not be easily talked out of by reporters. But even if Kobe didn't say anything, many Los Angeles media came out to criticize.

Many of them blamed Artest. In this series, Artest's performance disappointed many people. As the league's top defensive player, his ability to restrict Yang Shuai during the game was really

It was too weak. Almost whenever Yang Shuai wanted to score, Artest couldn't stop him.

Although people also know that this is because Yang Shuai's offensive power is too powerful, this does not affect people's dissatisfaction with Artest.

There are also many people who blame Fisher. Fisher was completely blown away by Collison at one point in this game, which left a deep impression on people. In the eyes of many media people, it was precisely because of Fisher.

Fisher's lack of impact makes Kobe's game more difficult, and the help Fisher can bring to the team has been significantly weakened.

Some people are also blaming several of the Lakers' inside players, accusing them of being unstable at the beginning of the match, accusing them of failing to fully utilize their inside advantage, and accusing Bynum of not being calm during the game.

Some people are even questioning Kobe. From their point of view, Kobe's dominance is constantly declining, especially compared with Yang Shuai, the current number one player in the league. Kobe's scoring ability at critical moments is no longer that of Yang Shuai.

opponent.

Because the Lakers lost, the media could find many reasons to say something bad about the Lakers. And because the Warriors won, the media used many flowery words to praise the Warriors. In their reports, it seemed as if the Warriors had defeated the league's invincible opponent.

But one thing is obviously recognized by everyone, Yang Shuai is showing his dominance, especially his scoring ability in the final moments of the game.

Before the showdown between the Warriors and the Lakers began, many people were not optimistic about the Warriors. After all, although the Warriors had a good record this season, they lacked Stephen Jackson, the most stable player on the bench, and the Lakers' state this season

It seems to be even more outstanding than last season.

However, the result was beyond these people's expectations. In the six games, the Warriors' performance, both as starters and as substitutes, was very stable. On the contrary, the Lakers' performance in the first three games fluctuated a lot.

Of course, no one would think that the Warriors' promotion was a fluke. Stability itself is a manifestation of strength. After the Lakers regained their form, the Warriors won two wins in the next three games, which speaks volumes.

.

When the Warriors won the fifth and sixth games, one player was inevitably mentioned, and that was Yang Shuai. In the last moments of the two games, Yang Shuai scored all the team's points by himself, and his performance was very stable.

According to relevant statistics, Yang Shuai ranks first in the league in scoring in the last quarter, scoring and shooting percentage in the last three minutes, and the number of steals contributed in the last three minutes. He is a well-deserved key player.

Another statistic shows that in games where the score difference remained within 5 points in the last three minutes, the Warriors' winning rate reached an astonishing 70%. The role of Yang Shuai cannot be ignored.

"When the Lakers still couldn't open up a point difference in the fourth quarter, the outcome was already doomed. Although the Lakers had Kobe, even Kobe couldn't compare with Yang in terms of scoring ability at critical moments..." It's no wonder that some people were commenting after the game.

Zhong said this.

The duel between the Warriors and the Lakers will determine the winner, and the Heat have also eliminated the Celtics 4:1 in the Eastern Conference. The Warriors and Heat, two teams that have attracted much attention, have both entered the conference finals.

The rest of the duel between the Spurs and the Mavericks only lasted five games, with the Spurs leading the Mavericks 3:2. The duel between the Bulls and the Hawks also lasted five games, with the Bulls leading the Hawks 3:2.

The Warriors' opponent in the Western Conference Finals will be the winner between the Spurs and the Mavericks, and judging from the matchup between the two teams, the Warriors' opponent is most likely to be the Spurs.

Both the Spurs and the Mavericks were the opponents eliminated by the Warriors last season, but both teams have changed greatly from last season. The Warriors may not have the same difficulty in winning the Western Conference Finals and entering the Finals again as last season.

It's easy to play seven games against the Lakers.
