329. If you are a god, then I am willing to incarnate as a godslayer...(2/2)
With Kobe's firepower in the first half, this was a success that allowed the Lakers to see hope of winning the game, which may play a very great incentive for other Lakers players.
Finally, it is worth mentioning that DJ Mbenga, who was forced to start the game throughout the first half, played a pretty good game.
Although in his personal match with Howard, it is clear that Mbenga is at a disadvantage.
But with his strong physical condition, Mbenga still protected more backcourt rebounds, helping the Lakers seek a glimmer of hope.
Even more, when Kobe was determined to lead the team to win, he stood up in time and became a helper around Kobe.
During the exit stage, everyone in the Magic's mood was not very high. After all, before the game started, everyone had only one goal, that is, sweep the Lakers in the finals!!
While being able to win the championship trophy from your doorstep, you can avoid long nights and dreams, and prevent some mistakes in the next place.
But throughout the first half, the Lakers, led by Kobe, have been suppressing the Magic.
Even though the Magic overtook the score on the field many times, the tough Lakers immediately bounced back like a spring.
Obviously, Kobe's hot touch in this game made everyone in the Magic feel tremendous pressure.
Even though the Magic still has a huge lead even if they lose this game, this feeling still makes people feel a little bad.
Especially in this game, the reason why the Magic fell behind at the end of the first half was not only because Kobe's touch was very hot, but also had an inseparable relationship with the outside shooters wasting too many shooting opportunities.
Compared with the first quarter, the Magic wastes too many shooting opportunities in the second quarter. Among these shooting opportunities, if the Magic can seize one of them, the situation on the court will probably cause some flips.
After all, compared with the Lakers who have brought personal heroism to the extreme in this game, the Magic, which has a smoother overall offense, has more advantages.
So in the midfield locker room, Van Gundy did not make too many adjustments to his offensive style. Instead, he guided the Magic team more to let go of the pressure in his heart and concentrate on the next game.
It can be said that when the team is already ahead of the Lakers 3:0, the Magic wanted to win the game from the very beginning and strive to win the NBA championship trophy at their doorstep.
But in the end, this persistence has become a ties in the hearts of everyone in the Magic Team, causing everyone in the Magic Team to face greater pressure.
If everyone outside was optimistic about the Lakers before the finals started, so the Magic did not have much pressure in those two games, but instead played very easily.
The offense on the field also seems more smooth. Whether it is a main player or a role player, he seems very decisive when facing some mobile phone opportunities.
But at this moment, everyone in the Magic team was under tremendous pressure out of thin air. When they were already leading the score, they could not completely calm down and play the smooth offensive cooperation like before.
Faced with this situation, Stan Van Gundy, as the head coach, was obviously very clear. Because this is a common problem for young players, Van Gundy was more enlightening to the players in the midfield stage.
After all, in the overall strength duel between the two sides, the Magic itself is at the upper hand, and now it has a home advantage, so everyone in the Magic only needs to give up the burden they bear in their hearts. In the second half, the Magic's chance of winning is still far higher than that of the Lakers.
So in the players' locker room, Su Jiu, who was usually quiet, stood up at this time, wiped his sweat with a towel hanging on his shoulders, and then said to his teammates:
"Everyone, I think the coach is right, that is, we want to win this game at home, and this belief has become our ties at this moment."
"You know, even if Kobe's performance today is infinitely close to God, he cannot escape the shooting impact of physical exhaustion after all."
"As the saying goes, "manpower will eventually be poor, and the way of heaven will eventually be determined." So even if Kobe really transformed into the "God of Basketball" today, then we can lose a game at worst."
"What's more, we will never lose this game..."
Speaking of this, Su Jiu paused for a moment, then looked at Iverson not far away from him. Finally, under Iverson's unrestrained gaze, Su Jiu couldn't help laughing.
