Guard With a Knife

The fourth game between the Purple and Gold Army and San Antonio was uneventful, without any surprises. It just happened in an understatement and ended in an understatement.

The Spurs didn't even show the momentum of "I must rewrite history and become the only team in the NBA to comeback 3:0."

After all, they are a group of old people, and it is inappropriate to use their blood at this time.

Everyone, even Spurs fans, has lost confidence in winning. In this case, why not simply and calmly accept the huge gap in strength between the two teams.

The suspense of the game ended in the third quarter. It was Steve Nash who stepped up to play the role of terminator tonight. With Snoop and Kobe Bryant constantly playing ball, Nash seized the opportunity. He scored 24 points in the third quarter, and he also broke his personal playoff scoring record with 49 points in the game.

This made Nash the focus of all media attention after the game.

After all, defeating the Spurs is a historic event for Nash. It means that he can finally raise his hands and say a firm farewell to the past years. He finally reached the finals and defeated the Spurs. Enter the finals.

This means a lot to him.

Although today is different from the past, he is no longer the 'Son of the Wind' he used to be, but he has finally made up for the biggest regret in his career.

"I'm very excited. For an old man, being able to score such data and reach the finals historically is something I couldn't even imagine before this season."

"I really want to say something to my former teammates, Shawn Marion, Amar'e, Laga, Boris, Quentin... Joe... and many former Suns players. We once wanted to cross over. The mountains, I finally did it tonight, I finally beat the San Antonio Spurs in the Western Conference Finals..."

Speaking of this, Nash even choked up.

Looking back on my entire career, the past scenes replayed in my mind. After experiencing countless twists and turns, when I was about to leave the NBA, I finally fulfilled my dream many years ago, defeated the Spurs and entered the finals.

"Thank you Snoop, thank you Kobe, thank you to all the players of the Purple and Gold Army. They are the best teammates and we are the best team. Here, basketball is very pure. There will never be any reason for seniority, fame or wealth in our locker room. There are divisions and everyone brings their best on the pitch.”

"In any other team, you will never find a guy with a minimum salary ripping off the leader of the team every day. I mean Snoopy... That's why he rarely breaks records this season. You You won’t see those rookies who are new to the league arrogantly breaking into the homes of old players, eating them up and going home with lots of Romanée-Conti.”

"Even Bryant, everyone will make fun of his shooting, and although he looks ugly, he has never been really angry. In fact, his shooting percentage this season has been very good. After all, he is the best scorer currently. attacker."

Steve Nash went into a long paragraph to praise the Purple and Gold.

His lengthy articles have become important material for reporters to interpret why the Purple and Gold Army has been so successful this season.

After all, everyone only knew that the Purple and Gold Army had a good internal atmosphere and that everyone on the court had a high degree of freedom. But I really didn't expect it to be so good. After all, most players just regard basketball as a job, and they don't have the habit of making friends in the locker room. Moreover, there is a lot of competition within the team, and everyone wants to have more ball rights and more tactics. The most important point is that in any group there will inevitably be privileged players and classes. But the Lakers can be so... unscrupulous? Minimum salary players ripping off Snoopy? A rookie who just entered the league goes to the home of an old player to eat and drink? Even mocking Kobe’s shooting percentage?

This greatly exceeded people's imagination.

But in fact, Nash just talked about the tip of the iceberg. If they knew that the team was laughing at young Artest every day for being domestically abused, and even bought blue sea dog pills to deal with his wife... then what's the point?

"The Lakers' team atmosphere is indeed rare in the NBA. However, I think it cannot be copied. After all, not everyone is like Snoopy, with a broad mind, noble personality, and... comprehensive His skills are something that other superstars can’t imitate even if they want to.”

Chris Webber said seriously on TV.

Such words always make Charles Barkley fall into self-doubt. Am I still a bitch?

Obviously, he felt a great impact from this flatterer who was better than his predecessor.

In fact, Chris Webber represents the trend that is rapidly spreading in the basketball circle. Now in the sports circle, few people criticize Snoopy anymore. Open any newspaper, read any basketball column, and you can see 100% of it. The tenth is to sing praises of virtue.

This is in sharp contrast to the accusations made by the young duke when he first joined the alliance.

It can be said that Dugger single-handedly conquered the entire basketball commentary circle.

Now even senior dog Black Bill Simmons is backing up Snoopy with backhanded compliments. In his article about LeBron James two days ago, he vigorously praised LeBron's epic performance in the playoffs this season.

But at the end of the game, it was shown without any trace that the best way is not to get brilliant data personally, but to put the team in a superior position forever. There is another superstar this season who always allows the team to resolve the battle in the third quarter. Although the statistics are not as eye-catching as LeBron's, he also had a miraculous performance of four double-doubles in the playoffs. More importantly, he helped the team advance easily in the calm weather.

Isn’t this Quasnoopy?

Bill Simmons may not want to admit it, but his fingers on the keyboard are extremely honest.

To be honest, his article made LeBron James very angry.

The previous long speech made him excited. After all, once Simmons' data control is put into operation, the detailed historical facts, exquisite data comparisons, and gorgeous language make James extremely tall. He can simply dominate an era, and he can even rise up. The superstar who unseated Michael Jordan.

But, this last sentence.

It's like after you've been blown to the sky, a bow suddenly comes and shoots at a big eagle.

I co-authored the first 20,000 words of such detailed praise just for the last two lines? Is it just to make Tosnubi greater?

Damn it.

James felt worse than drinking a pot of flies.

This discomfort allowed him to further vent his grievances on the Chicago Bulls.

The Bulls still put Dwight Howard on the court in Game 4, which puzzled both Snoopy and Nash who were watching the game at Kobe's house.

As the game progressed, Doug's prediction was gradually verified.

Howard is indeed the culprit that undermines the Bulls as a whole. He can neither coexist with Pau Gasol nor is he willing to pick and roll with Derrick Rose. This greatly reduced Chicago's two offensive starting points.

On the other hand, the Heat are taking advantage of your illness to kill you. Under the leadership of LeBron James, the entire team continues to penetrate into the Bulls penalty area like a crazy torrent.

The defensive system that Chicago relies on is constantly being dismantled by Miami, and the offense has stalled.

The game was polarizing from the first quarter.

The Heat's lead grew larger and larger, and the Bulls' collapse was silent, like a silent ambush.

"I suddenly feel very lucky now."

The Black Mamba, drinking wolfberry, was like a girl waving her wings, whispering, "If we hadn't traded with the bull, I'm afraid the situation would have been even worse."

When Kobe said this, Nash nodded seriously.

He thought about it if Dwight Howard and Pau Gasol stayed with the team. They will still repeat the current situation in the paint, and Kobe and himself may not be able to form a chemical reaction with Howard.

As a result, the team might be worse than the Bulls. The Bulls have a deep lineup and can consume some internal contradictions.

But for the Lakers, Kobe Bryant is a proud and arrogant man, and only Snoopy can keep him around. Once he gets into a fight with Howard, the entire locker room will suffer.

Coupled with Mike Brown's poor commanding ability, I'm afraid he won't even make it to the Western Conference finals.

call!

Nash thought about it and let out a long sigh of relief. He felt extremely lucky that Snoopy came to Los Angeles, otherwise his move to the Lakers would even be the last regret of his career.

The two old men had the same mind at this moment and subconsciously looked at Duge.

This made Doug feel weird.

In fact, if these two old guys were Teresa Teng's fans, they would definitely sing affectionately "If I hadn't met you, where would I be, how was my life...".

…

What makes the Duke feel depressed is that Daphne is back.

However, she suddenly stopped herself from taking the next step. Her reason was that you were about to play in the finals. This finals is very important to you. If you win the championship, you will lock in the number one position in the league. The commercial value and influence will rise to an incredible level, and the Lakers' market value will also rise. So, for the sake of a better future, be patient.

Forehead….

"But what does this have to do with us being intimate?" Doug was going crazy.

"My father warned me that women will drain a man's physical strength. Now is the critical moment, let's keep a polite distance, okay? Moreover, I am really afraid of that happening, I'm afraid of pain." Daphne was confident , and I feel very shy.

What the hell... my father-in-law killed someone.

Doug sighed helplessly.

Why did you end up with such a scientist father-in-law? Where did he get this physiological knowledge?

"If you're afraid of pain, you can take an anesthetic." Duge muttered angrily.

"Ah? Can I really take an anesthetic?" Daphne asked very seriously and innocently.

The Duke walked to Kobe's house full of depression.

Kobe also looked very unhappy. He sat on the flower bed at the gate and sulked, muttering, "Can you blame me for this? Her menstrual period means there is something wrong with her, not me. I don't want to have a son." Do you want her to get pregnant?"

He was filled with bitterness when he saw Dougal.

The middle-aged man's depression was all written on his face.

Duge didn't know how to comfort the Black Mamba who was kicked out by his wife after failing to create a human being. He just patted him on the shoulder and felt in his heart that he was also a fallen man in the world. I don’t know what’s going on with Lao Na.

Lao Na...what else can I do? Just bite the bullet and do it. He also found a new wife, took the time to run on the highway, and pulled the tachometer to get the running-in in order. This will save you the trouble of having to deal with... that stuff in the future.

"Go watch the Bulls' last game against the Heat."

The two grown men sat there for a long time and finally decided to go watch the fifth game between the Bulls and the Heat.

In this game, as expected, the Bulls did not put Howard on the starting list, and even Howard put on a suit.

The answer is actually very simple.

After the Duke played the game, he finally couldn't help but talk to Tom Thibodeau on the phone. He gave Thibodeau some advice.

But Thibodeau is a head coach without courage. He was afraid that he would be criticized for making this decision, so he found an opportunity to reveal the news to the Chicago media. Snoopy believed that there were some problems with our starting lineup, so he took We will make adjustments later.

With Snoop's endorsement, and the coaching staff deliberately releasing the news that Howard would be removed from the locker room, the people of Chicago immediately stood unanimously on the side of the team and agreed to remove Howard.

However, this made Howard hate Duggar.

He even posted a picture on Twitter, with Snoopy wearing the Lakers' No. 10 jersey sitting on Thibodeau's head and giving orders.

His displeasure was obvious.

Dougal was quite unhappy about this and thought he had done something wrong. The Bulls shouldn't care about life or death at all. Thibodeau is too courageous. If you talk about this kind of private conversation, aren't you deliberately stirring up trouble?

Therefore, Snoopy did not answer Thibodeau's call at all after that.

On the contrary...he answered all the calls from Rose and Butler.

He and Rose didn't say anything.

But tell Butler that the most important thing right now is to rally around Derrick Rose, support him, and win with him.

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while, and then he agreed.

Butler is a rebellious guy who refuses to accept anyone. But it was Snoopy's words that he regarded as golden rule.

When Duke and Black Mamba turned on the TV, the game was already in its fifth minute.

The Chicago Bulls, who are sitting at home, lead by 8 points.

The starting lineup of Derrick Rose, Jimmy Butler, Luol Deng, Pau Gasol, and Joakim Noah embarrassed the Heat. They never dreamed that after Snoopy's guidance, the Bulls would develop such a strong offensive and defensive level. .

Especially on the defensive end, they are like a strong fishing net that traps the Heat and can no longer break free.

The Heat's fast offense was hampered by their resilience, forcing them to engage in positional warfare.

"It's a big reference for us as well," Kobe Bryant said to Dugger.

Doug thought for a moment and nodded.

He recognized some of it, but not all of it.
