NBA: This Center Is So Stable

The game was a big success, but the game was a big success.

Chapter 246 Game 7?

The Game 5 between the Lakers and the Timberwolves ended with the Timberwolves defending their home court.

The Timberwolves’ lingering breath can be said to be an unexpected result.

This buzzer-beating victory at the Target Center is far from a relief for the Timberwolves fans. After all, there are only a handful of teams in history that have been able to reverse the series after falling behind 1:3.

If this round of the series is to truly enter a suspenseful stage, it depends on the result of Game 6 at the Staples Center.

The MVP of the game was awarded to Kevin Garnett!

Not only did he score the buzzer-beater, but in this Game 5, the Timberwolves also scored a super double-double of 30 points and 19 rebounds, surpassing O’Neal’s 17 points and 13 rebounds, successfully completing the redemption of the team.

In the post-match interview, Garnett expressed his views on the other half of the conference to the camera.

“The situation in the Eastern Conference Finals can be said to be as stalemate as the Western Conference. We initially thought that Minnesota got the New Yorkers’ script, but now it seems that we got the Detroit Pistons’ script.”

“In any case, I hope the Pistons can defend their home court. It is undoubtedly beneficial for us to enter the Eastern Conference Game 7. For the Timberwolves, who must play all seven games to qualify, giving the opponent enough time to prepare is not good news.”

On the other side.

OK from the Lakers accepted media interviews after the loss.

Facing the sharp questions from the Minnesota media, Kobe was very frank: “Many people think that we lost the game because of our carelessness, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that we just want to return to our home court and bring victory to the Los Angeles fans!”

“As for the winner of the East? Whether it is the Pistons or the Knicks, the winner between them will hardly cause us trouble like the Timberwolves, this is the gap in strength between the East and the West.”

The No. 8 afro kid is as crazy as ever.

In this game, Kobe made 8 of 19 shots and scored 23 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists. It was not his turn to pass the blame, but his confidence still caused the media’s disgust.

This disgust continued during their interview with O’Neal.

When O’Neal was asked whether the process of being defeated by the Wolf King in today’s game meant that the era of the Big Shark was over.

Shaq showed annoyance on his face.

“Bullshit, don’t compare me with that wimp. My level is not comparable to that guy with the same shooting percentage as Kobe.”

“Back to Game 6 at Staples, I will let you Minnesotans know who has dominated the league’s restricted area for ten years. The wimp will not have any chance to make a buzzer-beater.”

After expressing his views angrily in front of the camera, O’Neal walked away.

The so-called media image is not important to O’Neal during the playoffs, not to mention that the away media tonight is deliberately exposing his scars.

In today’s game, it is obvious that the Big Shark gave power to Kobe and distributed the shots to other teammates, which led to the game being dragged into the final moments to decide the outcome. According to the rhythm of the Lakers winning those three games, it would have been over if he had dominated.

The next day.

After a night of media fermentation, the confusing results of the Western Conference series made all fans begin to look forward to the result between the giants and the rising stars.

At the same time, the suspenseful finals in the Eastern Conference also made fans look forward to it.

For this reason, the atmosphere before the game was pushed to the top by various media. Before the media in Detroit and New York had time to attack their opponents, local media from San Antonio and Cleveland took the lead in expressing their opinions.

“For the Pistons, the absence of miracles is the biggest miracle!” – Cleveland Sports Daily

“Game 7 is what everyone expects, no one wants to see Los Angeles easily win the Western Conference championship!” – San Antonio Daily

The two sides’ talk quickly triggered discussions among fans on the Internet, and there were many different opinions for a while.

Most American fans still choose to support the old strong team, and the call for the Lakers and the lagging Pistons to meet in the finals is still higher.

After all, the confrontation between grassroots basketball and super space battleships is enough to make fans excited just thinking about it.

However, this confrontation was not well received in China, and most of the comments in the forum were exactly the opposite.

——[The perception of American fans is indeed a bit funny. The probability of the Pistons advancing is N times smaller than that of the Timberwolves. Instead of believing that the finals will be a showdown between the Lakers and the Pistons, why not let go of your thoughts and directly make the Timberwolves and the Pistons two unprecedented finals opponents? ]

——[Indeed

It doesn’t make sense. The predictions of the Americans are not accurate at all. 】

——【The Timberwolves’ rise is obvious to all. At least after the Wolf King defeated the Lakers, the young Timberwolves saw a glimmer of hope for victory, but what did the Pistons rely on? They were leading 2:1, but the score was overturned by two consecutive big scores to 2:3? 】

——【To be honest, I feel that no matter which of these three teams meets the Lakers, it is a bit not good enough. I hope that the Timberwolves can beat the Lakers, or at least drag the game into a tiebreaker, to see if the Zen Master has played all his cards. 】

——【The Lakers after the OK negotiation are really ridiculously strong. If they can drag the game into a tiebreaker, the Timberwolves will win half of the championship trophy. 】

——【The finals are likely to be the Knicks and the Lakers. In any case, I wish the Chinese boy all the best and don’t get hurt. 】

···

The fans discussed fiercely on the Internet, and then came the Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

The Palace of Auburn Hills.

The attendance here is still full today.

Although the Pistons lost miserably in the last away game, the fans in the Motor City still love this team deeply. Even if the victory is slim, they still choose to come to the scene to support the home team.

With the background sound of Detroit fans singing, the coaches of the two teams who entered the stadium were pulled to the sidelines for a simple pre-match interview.

“Mr. Brown, will the Eastern Conference Finals enter a seventh game?”

“No doubt!”

Larry Brown’s expression in front of the camera was as firm as if he wanted to join the party.

Most of the media in Detroit did not show any doubts, but instead had a face full of recognition as if they had received the answer they wanted.

On the other side.

Compared with Larry Brown’s gentle interview, D’Antoni encountered multiple interceptions.

Almost all the Detroit media stared at the Italian champion coach with the eyes of a deep-sea blood feud, as if the Italian in front of them had taken the championship trophy from them.

“Mr. Mike, when the series drags into the sixth game, how do the Knicks plan to solve the problem of insufficient rotation of the main players’ physical fitness?”

As soon as D’Antoni opened his mouth, he felt the sharpness of the away media. Isn’t this nakedly trying to get information?

D’Antoni was not afraid, and he poked back: “If the Pistons can hold on until the rotation starts and there is still suspense, I think you will see the answer then.”

The sharp-tongued reply made the media on the scene look pale.
