The stability demonstrated by the defending champion was amazed by fans by winning Tianwangshan away.

It was at this time that more people began to realize the help the Pistons' running-in and tacit understanding brought them.

The Pistons in history have Hamilton as the offensive core, and their offensive talent limit is obviously not as good as this Pistons.

Moreover, Anthony is getting more mature year by year, and with the sixth man on their bench, Starkhouse, which is really stronger than in history.

The Wizards have their own problems in losing, but the strength of the Pistons cannot be ignored.

Leading 2-1 and falling behind 2-3, the Eastern Conference played in a turbulent manner.

The next day, the fifth game between the Lakers and the Mavericks will be opened at the Staples Center.

Jackson arranged daily training in the morning.

Jackson was originally planning to open up this training, but at O'Neal's request, he chose to close the work.

This caused a wave of complaints from the waiting journalists, but Jackson did not change his mind.

"Guys."

Before the training began, O'Neal stood up and prepared to speak out.

The team members looked at him in unison.

Although it was announced to the public that Sun Hao is the leader of the team, that boss is more on the court.

Off the court, as the core of the Lakers Dynasty, he has no say in the team.

This means that no one dares to ignore what he said on the Lakers.

"I know many people think we will win the game tonight, but in fact I think so too."

The first sentence O'Neal said caused a burst of whistles and cheers from other players.

They didn't know what O'Neal was going to do, and they thought the shark was here to give everyone chicken soup to boost morale.

"But I remembered one thing."

O'Neal changed the subject.

After this turn, you can clearly feel that the team members' attention was firmly grasped by him.

O'Neal usually looks funny, but smart.

"In the first game I was injured, the second game of the series, that boy Kobe also said something. I saw that in the newspaper, and he said, 'The Mavericks have no reason to lose the game'. Will anyone think there is something wrong with that?"

“No one.”

O'Neal asked and answered.

"But the second game, we won."

When Sun Hao heard this, he couldn't help but want to like O'Neal Bixin.

In terms of the art of speaking, O'Neal is actually no worse than him.

The team members thought after hearing this.

The example O'Neal gave is close and very contrasting.

Kobe felt that the Mavericks would win, but in the end they lost.

Indeed, that's because of Sun Hao's brave performance, but who can guarantee that Kobe or Nowitzki will not explode tonight on the Mavericks?

Or maybe both of them broke out?

No one can guarantee it.

Especially, once they are not mentally prepared, they are likely to be psychologically defeated by the Mavericks.

Because at first you thought you would win, but in the end you were in a stalemate and even lagging behind.

In the second game of the series, the Mavericks also collapsed in the last half of the game.

"So guys, we can never take it lightly before we win the championship, so our opponents are able to get this far, which has proven that they have enough strength and that no championship is achieved by luck."

O'Neal's final summary was even more resounding.

Jackson couldn't help but smile and reached out to applaud.

You see, it's really no worse than Kobe's stay.

O'Neal's status, coupled with this speech, can clearly feel that the Lakers' concentration on the game has returned.

The team quickly began to train, and the attitudes the players showed during training also made Jackson laugh again as KFC Grandpa.

Although he leads 3-1, the first match point is actually very critical.

If you lose, it will be 2-3, and you will still play at home in the Mavericks in the sixth game.

Although Sun Qiang of G6 is invincible, who can guarantee that he can play super gods every time G6 is?

If you really want to be dragged into the tiebreak, it will be a real five-five game.

That was definitely not what he wanted to see.

But the team is showing attitude now that he is confident that he will end the series at home tonight.

That night, the fifth game between the Lakers and the Mavericks opened at Staples Center.

The attention this game attracted is no less than that of the Wizards and the Pistons.

Although it is not Tianwang Mountain, this is a match point game!

During the pre-match training, a reporter wanted to interview Kobe, but Kobe refused at all.

His face was extremely ugly since he entered the stadium.

The unfavorable situation the team is facing now is one aspect, and more importantly, what O'Neal said before after the game.

"Because Sun is now the boss of the Lakers!"

Listen to this!

He worked so hard with the Lakers and won the Dynasty with O'Neal. Even after the Dynasty, his data was already the nominal boss of the team.

But O'Neal never said "Bryant is the boss of the Lakers."

Now O'Neal said Sun Hao is!

Sun Hao has just been with the Lakers for less than a season.

The eight-year relationship between my ex-girlfriend is not as good as the three-month date of my current girlfriend?!

Although I know that I am no longer a member of the Lakers, it is really uncomfortable to hear such words.

So he definitely must and will win the game tonight!

Didn’t you say that Sun Hao is already the boss of the Lakers? Then I will defeat the Lakers, eliminate the Lakers, and make another thing a reality: Sun Hao, who is the boss, cannot win the championship!

After the opening ceremony, the starting lineup of the two teams was released.

Both teams used the starting lineup from the previous game.

In fact, after the series has reached this point, the impact of changes in the lineup on the game is already very limited, and it depends more on the players' performance on the field.

And Johnson is not the kind of coach who is good at seeking change in the old Nelson.

Some people will say that the misplaced singles tactic was the first, but in fact, it is already all the offensive tactics that Johnson has.

Look at Van Gundy next door, and then look at Johnson. In fact, the coaching styles of the two are very similar.

As the starter came, Diop jumped hard and turned the ball back to the Mavericks' half, and the game officially opened.

In the first round of the game, Kobe held the ball and broke through the inside.

It is very similar to the past few games. He broke into the inside and was soon blocked by O'Neal.

The difference is that this time he did not show off his waist anymore, but instead carried O'Neal to take action.

O'Neal wanted to block Kobe, but ended up knocking Kobe out.

The referee whistle sounded, signaling O'Neal's defensive foul.

Kobe sat on the ground and gasped, then was pulled up by Nowitzki and Bell.

Being hit by O'Neal is almost the same as being smashed with a sandbag. It's already good in shape before falling apart.

However, after being pulled up, his eyes were full of murderous gazes like knives.
