g3 is coming.

The good news for the entire Lakers team is that they will have a home court next.

The bad news is...

0-2 behind.

The second game of the series was a buzzer beater, and it was Shaquille O'Neal who got a dunk.

In addition, each person in the "ok" combination will be deducted one.

In addition, the team that leads 2-0 in the finals has a winning probability of more than 78%. In other words, the possibility that the Lakers can reverse the situation is only 2 levels.

In short, there is only one good news, and bad news comes one after another.

And in the face of such bad news, the good news is not really good news anymore...

The Lakers' training started at 9:30 the next morning.

Although they only returned to Los Angeles at 3 o'clock in the morning, their morale is so low. The only way now is to "practice" and constantly urge training to make everyone feel a sense of urgency. Then the lost fighting spirit will always be lost in this kind of situation.

Recovered from the sense of urgency, Phil Jackson is a "champion coach". He is really, very experienced in this kind of thing.

The situation was just as he expected. After experiencing a lifeless beginning, the voices of these people on the field gradually became louder.

Especially Shaquille O'Neal.

He has already started joking.

Sure enough, more optimistically, no one on this team can compare to Shaquille O'Neal.

Of course, the current Lakers team really needs someone to talk and laugh with and ease the atmosphere. If they are all like Kobe, burying their heads and not knowing what to do there, then how can this team climb after such a defeat?

Gotta get up!

To be honest, this wave is really hurtful. If it were an ordinary team that has not experienced ups and downs, it would be a failure.

But the Lakers are a team that has won two consecutive championships. This team has experienced ups and downs!

Especially last year, they lost to the Wizards in the Finals.

For superstars, they have an anger bonus when facing a team that has defeated them.

In short, this training has achieved the results Phil Jackson wanted. If he uses the time tomorrow morning to train hard and cooperate with the "chicken soup" he prepared, at least in terms of morale, he can definitely recover.

Even though that dunk was incredible, Shaquille O'Neal is still Shaquille O'Neal.

In the second game, he scored 38 points, nearly 40 points, which was real. Among the players on both sides, his single-game score was the highest.

Kobe also scored 32 points in that game.

The "ok" combination scores a total of 70 points.

No one will really lose faith in such a combination, that's for sure.

It's just that he got the results he expected. The Los Angeles media, outside fans, and experts are a little vague about the Lakers.

The loss in the second game was too fatal.

Moreover, the Lakers players still have full confidence in them because the "ok" combination scored 70 points.

But the other way around...

What the outside media and fans are thinking is that both of them can score 70 points together, but they still can't win. So what kind of results can they achieve to win against the Wizards?

They feel that even if the "ok" combination wants to perform better, it will be difficult. After all, this is not a team facing cats and dogs, this is the stage of the finals.

The two of them scored 70 points together, which is already a historical level of data.

Well, after all, this wave of smashes is too hurtful!

No one really believed that the Lakers could bounce back.

The Wizards did not take it lightly.

When the game reaches this point, you have to be even more careful, but the 80% probability of winning is not guaranteed. If you win the next game and expand the score to 3-0, then you will really win the championship 100% of the time.

Got it!

Compared with 100%, 80% is definitely not stable.

so……

"The battle has just begun. Guys, winning the next game will prove that we have an advantage. Before that, any advantage we had was all false!"

Scott said something. In fact, if he had not said this, the Wizards would not let down their guard.

Because everyone in the "senior group" is very energetic. At this moment, they seem to be more serious than they have ever been.

In other words, from the beginning of this season until now, they have completed 99 steps. On the last step, they don't want to make a mistake because they have no chance!

It can be seen that both sides are focusing on adjusting their mentality, rekindling their fighting spirit while constantly emphasizing not to relax their vigilance.

This is also in line with their current situation.

If the Lakers lose again, it will be an abyss. The Wizards lead 2-0, and the error tolerance rate is too high.

With the active preparations by both sides, the third game of the finals came as scheduled.

A large number of Los Angeles fans came to Staples tonight, and every one of them was shouting hard.

For these die-hard Lakers fans, even if it only caused a little bit of psychological ups and downs, it would still be good.

This is the only thing they can do.

In addition to this, there is another thing, which is to cheer for the Lakers.

The pressure on the Lakers was very low tonight, and it could be seen from their attitude when they came on the court, everyone had a straight face.

But their behavior is not rigid.

This shows that they are holding their breath!

The Lakers fans at the scene noticed this situation and breathed a sigh of relief, because this meant that there was still a fight to be played!

Soon, the Lakers also proved that they did play well tonight. After the game started, the Lakers were the first to take the lead. They started with 7-2.

In the past few games, this is the first time the Lakers have taken such a big lead at the beginning.

The Lakers still stuck to the way they played in the second half of the last two quarters, letting Shaquille O'Neal play most of the time, leaving the team's offense to Kobe at the most critical moment.

More importantly, no matter how you target Shaquille O'Neal, when the game reaches its most intense moment, the defense will definitely be directed towards the ball carrier.

In this regard, no matter who does the layout, there will be no deviation.

Instead, Shaquille O'Neal got some breathing room during this period.

He also fell into a virtuous cycle.

The game continued in the following time, and it could be seen that the Lakers were really fully involved in the game tonight.

Although everyone is emphasizing that every goal in every game should be striven for, one thing that no one can deny is that not all players on the team really do this.

With such high intensity, who can fight from the first quarter to the last quarter and give it their all!

If we really play a series like this, I'm afraid I'll be paralyzed after the game.

But tonight's Lakers team really played very decisively.

Losing this game would mean missing out on the championship, so they took on a last-ditch attitude in this game.

After taking the lead from the beginning, they relied on this hard work to keep the initiative on the court. Even if they failed to defeat the Wizards at once, they still led by a score difference of 3 to 5 points.

This situation is very morale-boosting, especially in the first two games, the Lakers have always been chasing the Wizards.

Now the Wizards were chasing them, and they couldn't help but want to shout: You have today too!

But the Wizards launched a crazy counterattack in the last two minutes of the fourth quarter, from Jiang Dalin scoring 4 points in a row to Michael Jordan scoring a 3-pointer...

The Lakers almost couldn't withstand it.

Fortunately, in the last 4.5 seconds, Kobe scored with a three-point shot against Michael Jordan, which opened the score to 5 points and made the game no longer suspense.

It's a thrilling goal to score.

First it hit the basket, then hit the board, and then bumped on the basket twice before falling into the basket.

When the ball fell into the basket, all the Lakers fans in the audience burst into loud cheers, and the excited fans couldn't help but dance on the spot.

In the end, in the third game of the Finals, the Lakers returned to their home court and exerted a "life-or-death" momentum, which also allowed them to successfully win the first game of the Finals.

This decisive momentum made Kenny Smith couldn't help shouting: "Never underestimate the heart of a championship!"

Barkley held the ball in frustration. At 1:34 of the fourth quarter, he made an open shot and missed the frame. If not for this shot, they would have gone ahead by 1 point. Maybe they would have continued this momentum, overtaken the score, and completed the game.

It's a comeback.

He was very upset.

It felt like he didn't feel so upset when kissing a donkey's butt.

Because the Wizards only lost by two goals in the end.

The big score came to 1-2, and this series suddenly became suspense again.

The media in Los Angeles immediately became louder: "We haven't given up yet. The Lakers will not let others win the championship so easily!"

After saying this, Lakers fans wanted to curse.

Damn it, you just won a game and you are just taunting others. Isn’t this giving others motivation?

Stop talking!

Their concerns are not unreasonable.

The fourth game of the finals came. Before the game started, Jiang Dalin kept shooting shots. From his serious look, you could tell how much this guy wanted to win this game.

Under his leadership, the entire Wizards team has a kind of turmoil hidden under the calm.

It's like the calm before the storm.

Although nothing seems to be happening, when the storm comes, it will definitely hit like a violent storm!

The game starts soon.

Jiang Dalin succeeded in jumping the ball, and the ball was passed to Billups and moved to the frontcourt. Jiang Dalin directly held the ball in the high post and singled out "Cobra" Grant. He pushed towards the basket like a bulldozer, and with a small hook, Jiang Dalin completed the score.

2-0 start.

When returning to defense, Jiang Dalin's expression did not change at all. He was observing the Lakers' offensive formation, like a leopard crawling in the grass, waiting for the opportunity to hunt.

Just by looking at him, you can tell that he is in an absolutely serious state.

After the score reached 2-1, the probability of winning the championship suddenly became much smaller. For the entire Wizards team, the sense of urgency and pressure suddenly increased.

On the contrary to them, the Lakers were nervous in the last game. After the last battle, their situation was no longer so dangerous, which made their whole idea no longer so strong.

Another point is that...

They fought hard to the last minute in the last game, and they really lost every drop.

Under the circumstances, the Wizards were much more powerful than them in this game. The more critical point is that the Lakers were desperate and had just won the last game with the largest advantage so far. Well...

It's only a 3-5 point lead.

Now they no longer have this spirit and are facing the Wizards who are gaining momentum, especially with Jiang Dalin at full strength.

The score difference in this game quickly reached more than 10 points.

The whole situation was the same as in the previous game, the Wizards maintained this point difference until the end.

The Lakers did not have any momentum to counterattack at the last moment.

106 to 100, the Wizards played another game, the big score came to 3-1!

The Lakers have fallen into the abyss again.

Now the Los Angeles media had nothing to say.

The Lakers fans were speechless because of this: You said you, why did you provoke them? I wasn't that angry at first, so I asked you to finish, and the direct motivation turned into strength.

It can be seen from this game that the Wizards have a slight advantage in strength against the Lakers, but this advantage is not enough for the Wizards to win the score without any effort.

In fact, in the four games, the score did not exceed 10 points in three games.

In the second game, the Wizards even won the game with a buzzer-beater.

The third game of the Finals proved that as long as the Lakers showed enough morale, they wanted to win more than the Wizards. They were even leading the Wizards by 3 to 5 points until the end!

Therefore, whoever can win the next game between these two teams depends not so much on what changes will be made at the tactical level, but rather whoever has more fighting spirit to win will have the last laugh.

Bill Walton said bluntly: "The technical competition between the two teams, at least for this period of time, cannot get better."

The fifth game of the Finals was also the Lakers' last home game in this series. Everyone was devoted to the game from the moment it started.

This game is likely to be their last game of the season, but, but, but...even if they cannot win the final championship, they don't want to fall at their home court in front of their fans.

No matter what, they all want to go to Washington again.

If you want to fall, fall there!

Ever since, both the "ok" group and other Lakers players broke out in this game.

How good was their state tonight? Their shooting percentage from beyond the three-point line was a terrifying 7-for-9!

There will always be one night when everything will look different.

Obviously tonight is a different night for these guys from the Lakers!

100 to 91, the Lakers defended their last home court.

With a big score of 2-3, the battlefield returns to Washington!
