Chapter 405
A victory has made a large number of media generally skeptical about whether the Lakers may complete another title defense!
Judging from the current performance of the Warriors, they already have the absolute strength to launch an impact on the championship.
As predicted by some media, as long as the Warriors can kill the Lakers, the Kings and Mavericks, under the impact of the Warriors' powerful lineup, cannot guarantee that they will not advance to the luxury stage of the finals with a sweeping momentum!
In these four games, the Warriors showed great competitiveness, especially their performance on the defensive end, which can be called BIANTAI level.
They have a large number of strong defensive players on the front line, coupled with their good strength in the interior, even if they encounter the Kings with a more gorgeous style of play, they will use enough tough defense to completely destroy this team!
After winning the next game at home, the second game ended in Oakland with a 3-point victory by the Lakers!
In the next game, the Warriors will go to Los Angeles again to launch a final sprint for the championship!
"Bruce, it seems that we still lack experience in the playoffs!" Wilkens said unwillingly.
In the fourth game, I don't know if it was due to the exhaustion of physical strength and lack of experience in the playoffs. In this game, especially the young players of the Warriors, their performance was slightly unsatisfactory!
Kirilenko has achieved great success this season, especially his performance on the defensive end, enough to reach the upper middle position in the NBA!
However, because he invested a lot of energy on the defensive end, he was sent off the court for the first time in the season with six fouls in the absence of the offensive end!
Not to mention Gerald Wallace, his offense is extremely lacking. If it weren't for his strong physical fitness, I'm afraid he would be out earlier than Kirilenko!
The current lineup of the Warriors is said to be very good, but in a bad situation, it is their lack of experience in the playoffs!
With Wilkens' use of players, he has shown absolute trust in young players. However, experience is accumulated step by step. In this series, he still trusts young players too much!
"You know, we have played a game that surprised everyone. Anyway, we have reached 80% of the goal perfectly. Although we may lose the final chance to compete for the championship, what about next year? Who will be the next year? Look at us??" Bruce had a strong confidence in his eyes, he believed that the Warriors were not far from the championship, especially this season, they swept the Trail Blazers first, and then fought the defending champion Lakers in four games. Let him believe that next year's Warriors will only become stronger!
"Young players need opportunities to grow, maybe I am too obsessed with cultivating them!"
Seeing Wilkens' depressed look, Bruce stood up with a smile: "Young players are the future of every team. No one can gather a large group of talented players like us for training. What you have done Excellent!"
"Hehe, you are really an open-minded young man!" Wilkens secretly admired Bruce's open-mindedness, and then shook his head slightly: "We will still go all out for the next game, as long as there is a slight chance of winning, We will not give up!"
On May 5, as the fifth game between the Warriors and the Lakers started, the Staples Arena attracted a large number of fans and stars to enter the arena!
For this game, Bruce didn't follow them to Los Angeles, but sat quietly in the office alone, silently praying and cheering for his team!
In the first quarter, the Lakers showed their due championship demeanor. Whether it was an inside confrontation or an outside attack, the Warriors gradually fell into the rhythm of the Lakers!
After the two teams finished the first quarter, even though the Warriors started to use some veterans, they looked a bit old and slow after all with their current competitive state and physical factors!
At the end of halftime, the Lakers used a wave of 10:0 shock waves to lead the Warriors with a score of 56:48. They used their rich experience in the battle to bring great suffering to the Warriors!
Even if the Warriors suddenly broke out in Barkley, Olajuwon and Dell Curry, the two sides quickly tied the point difference in the third quarter, but with the return of O'Neal and other main players, the Warriors It is really difficult to create an effective defense against them!
At the end of the game, with super dominance, O'Neal scored a total of 45 points, 32 rebounds, 18 blocks and 3 assists in 4 minutes.
And Kobe, another arrow figure of the Lakers, played basically the same as O'Neal, he surprised everyone with a super comprehensive data of 28 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 steals!
With the outbreak of the two, the rest of the Lakers players seemed to be infected, and everyone became an amazing player!
而勇士队，邓肯拿下了26分15个篮板和3次封盖，诺维茨基拿下了23分11个篮板和3次助攻的数据！
On the bench who performed very well in the first four games, only Barkley scored 15 points, 9 rebounds and 2 blocked shots. The rest of the players seemed to be stuck in a quagmire, struggling very much!
A victory swept away the previous haze of the Lakers. Whether it was O'Neal and others, or Phil Jackson, they all let out a sigh of relief!
The Warriors have put a lot of pressure on them in this series, whether it is on the defensive end or mentally, they have created a lot of pressure on them!
Now, a victory has made them feel very relaxed physically and mentally, and most of the pressure from the outside world and themselves has dissipated after this victory!
After winning the fifth game, the Lakers suddenly stood in a huge lead. If they return to Oakland, the Warriors can use a victory to tie the score between the two sides at 3:3. There is a chance to advance to the Western Conference finals. If they lose, they will have a record of 4:2, and it is a pity to leave this arena where every inch of land is contested!
"This game, for us, is a very, very important game, and if we lose it, we'll be holding our recreational gear, fishing when it's time to go, golfing when it's time to play golf, so, boys, Let's try our best to win this game!" Wilkens said humorously to all the players, he didn't want to put too much pressure on them, everyone knew the importance of this game, so he used this The tone came to remind the players.
Entering the arena, the fans in the stands cheered for their home team with their loudest voices. They were already very satisfied with the Warriors' game!
Being able to drag the Lakers to such a point is something that fans could hardly imagine before the game!
Now, even if the Warriors are only one game behind the Lakers, their performance is enough to make the fans and themselves proud!
No one will underestimate the Lakers' road to defending their title. Even though their core players had a series of problems at the beginning of the season, they are still one of the strongest teams in the league after all!
Judging from the rapid growth of the Warriors, being able to beat them like this has already made everyone optimistic about their future!
In the first quarter, the Warriors still used the previous lineup, and the Lakers did the same.
With the support of the fans, the Warriors used tenacious defense to always lead the Lakers by two points!
With the end of the first quarter, the home fans gave the Warriors players warm applause. This is the best way to encourage their tenacity!
Back off the court, Wilkens quickly assigned tactical tasks to the players, and then fell into a brief discussion with Carlesimo!
In the second quarter, the two sides once launched a dazzling bombardment battle. After tasting the immediate results of the bombardment before, Phil Jackson once again offered a lineup of one big and four small!
attack! !attack! !attack! !
In this quarter, there is only offense. Even though the two teams still performed well on the defensive end, after all, the score of 38:40 at the end of this quarter made everyone who watched it hooked!
"Huff. Huff."
A heavy panting was clearly transmitted from the rest area of both sides to the surroundings, and a large number of fans around heard their heavy panting. From here, it can also be seen that the players on both sides are exhausted!
"Ben, in the second half, I need you to consume Shaquille's physical strength like the previous games. Are you okay?" Wilkens couldn't help hesitating when he saw Wallace bowing his head and panting!
"Hehe, no problem!" Wallace took a deep breath, his eyes flashed with determination, and he looked at Wilkens with a smile!
After the duel in the first half, the Warriors' two lineups looked a little tired due to the huge physical exertion!
Especially Wallace, in his confrontation with O'Neill, his physical exertion was really too much!
If it weren't for Duncan's lack of strength, Wilkens would not use Wallace so frequently, which may also cause him injuries!
Judging from the current situation, only Wallace can put a lot of pressure on O'Neal on the defensive end, which also forced Wilkens to send him on the field helplessly!
Wallace's words made the locker room silent, and the rest of the players gave him thumbs up.
"Ben, if you feel that your physical strength is not enough, please be sure to signal me!" Wilkens used the attitude of honorifics, which brought great respect to Wallace, which is exactly what he wanted of!
"It's nothing, I won't make fun of my body!" Wallace smiled indifferently, and then took a big breath, drinking drinks from time to time to replenish his physical strength as soon as possible!
