269 ??Unprepared

After winning the first game of the West away, the Warriors are full of confidence. They have become a strong team in the media and fans. The Warriors now have a playoff rule, that is, as long as they win the first game of the series, they can advance, such as playing against the Jazz and the Spurs before, that's it.

Chamberlain's 3206 became the first person in NHA history. No one has ever won such a score in the first full season finals game, including the awesome Flying Emperor and the ancient evil god Wilterburn.

Warriors fans are ready to meet with the Celtics in the finals. Likewise, in the first match of the Eastern Conference Finals, the Celtics successfully defeated the Cavaliers led by the Little Emperor. The Big Three have already started charging for the first championship in their careers.

Unlike the highly praised Chamberlain, Kobe was criticized by fans and the media. Although he scored the highest score in the game, what's the use? Didn't his team lose the game 3-106? He almost got half of the team's score, but the shooting percentage was only 40 fans began to question his leadership ability, and even called him a generation of lone wolf.

Faced with the doubts of media, fans and experts around the world, Kobe said nothing, he was silent, waiting for the game to come.

Soon, just one day later, the second game of the Western Conference Finals began.

At the beginning of the first quarter, the Warriors launched the attack first, but unfortunately they did not succeed. Looking back, Kobe broke through with the ball and caused Jackson to make a defensive foul. He made both free throws and scored the whole game. Chamberlain immediately singled at the basket. Many people thought Kobe was going to replicate the style of the previous game again, but this time it was different. He broke through and attracted double teams to pass the ball to Gasol at the first time, and the latter hit a mid-range shot.

Then Kobe assisted Odom to score a layup on the baseline. In this way, under Kobe's leadership, the Lakers sent out an l16 attack wave at the beginning. Old Nelson had to call a timeout. Kobe was very dangerous today, and the old man had already noticed the seriousness of the problem.

After the timeout, the Warriors began to launch a counterattack. Billups scored two goals in a row, West also broke through and contributed two points to a layup. The Warriors overturned the score in one fell swoop. At the critical moment, Kobe and Gasol teamed up to play to regain the lead. Then the two sides began to score alternately. There were 6 minutes and 13 seconds left in this quarter to tie the game. Then the Lakers controlled the rhythm of the field. Kobe kept attracting double teams and then transferred the ball. He became the team's organizational guard, and did a good job. The Lakers fired continuously inside and outside, sending out 26 attack waves. After the first quarter, the Lakers temporarily led the Warriors with 326.

At the beginning of the second quarter, both teams fought a defensive battle. The offense in the first quarter was too smooth. Suddenly, the shooting percentage of both sides began to drop sharply. The balls bounced out of the basket after shooting many times. After Chamberlain and Jackson teamed up to score 4 points, the gap in the score gradually narrowed. Kobe suddenly broke out on the Lakers side. He made two consecutive three-pointers to open the score gap again, forcing Old Nelson to call a timeout again.

After returning from the timeout, Chamberlain and Billups worked together to climax 2, narrowing the score gap to 2 points. At the end of the second quarter, after Odom scored 4 points in a row, Billups and Harrington teamed up to score 6 points and regained their colors. Kobe jumped 2 points and hit the buzzer. After this quarter, the two sides tied 3.

At the beginning of the third quarter, Kobe scored a three-pointer from the distance. Both sides played in a difficult match. Chamberlain broke through Bynum's defense and scored 2 points and caused Gasol to make a foul on the backup defense. He made a free throw. The two sides tied again at 6l. The situation on the court was extremely anxious.

Afterwards, the two teams tied 6, 6 and 2 respectively. The game was very difficult. In the second half of the third quarter, the Lakers once again controlled the situation on the court. Odom made a mid-range jump shot, and Old Fisher's long-range three-pointer left the Warriors behind again. Although the Warriors also performed, they still could not stop the Lakers' internal and external lines from the blooming. Gasol and Odom both opened, especially the former, which was completely the performance of the All-Star power forward, defeating everyone in the Warriors' inside except Chamberlain.

After the third quarter, the Lakers led the Warriors by 84-74. The Zen master is worthy of being a master among the masters. He found the warriors' flaw, that is, there is only one Chamberlain in the inside guarding the penalty area, and as long as Gasol pulls out to the high position, no one in the Warriors can fight him - Harrington is tall and his strength is not an opponent, Evans is too clumsy, only Chamberlain can deal with Gasol, but does Chamberlain dare to leave the penalty area?

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Kobe and Gasol teamed up to score 6 points to expand the lead to 15 points. At the critical moment, Billups stepped forward. He first scored 2 points in mid-range shots, and then contributed three-pointers. Chamberlain also used his butcher knife and attacked the basket for 4 points in a row. The Zen master could only call for a timeout.

After returning from the timeout, the Lakers continued to maintain a good feel. Odom and Gasol gave a climax of 0 under Kobe's leadership. The score that the Warriors finally recovered was gone. Chamberlain was unwilling to fall behind. He received the ball and made a layup in the inside, and then blocked Odom's dunk. He also took action outside the three-point line and hit it. The Zen master had to stop the game.

Afterwards, Chamberlain continued to score two consecutive goals, followed by Billups' wonderful pass from outside the three-point line, Ellis, who tore through the Lakers' defense and easily made a layup. At this time, it was already the last moment. Seeing that the opponent was about to counterattack, Kobe immediately responded with two points, and then stole Ellis' breakthrough. The final game entered the countdown stage, and neither side performed at all. In the end, the Lakers defeated the Warriors 10,293 and won the victory in the second game.

In this way, after the first two games, the game became a 1l draw. Warriors fans were not nervous. They still had the next three home court advantages. Moreover, when facing the Spurs, weren't they also got a 1l draw?

Next, the Warriors had two home advantage. Before the third game began, there were many portraits of deputy Chamberlain, Billups and others in the Oracle Arena. Almost every fan had a pair of them. Chamberlain and others were very surprised. Later, they found that it was the street painters and fans of Salt Lake City that came to the scene, but now they have put on the Warriors jerseys and are no longer Jazz fans.

The scene of Chamberlain rushing into the chaos fans to save two children completely conquered the hearts of many Jazz fans. They abandoned the Jazz team, which almost made them lose their families, joined forces to join the Warriors fan circle, and before the game they drew hundreds of portraits and then copied them. In the end, the Oracle Arena became what it is now.

What the fans did encouraged the Warriors. At the beginning of the first quarter, the Warriors started with strong attacks and scored all of them, and suddenly scored 186. The Lakers fans were killed without a look, and the Zen master grinned in pain.

But Kobe was calm as always. This black mamba has become more and more dangerous. He signaled his teammates not to be excited. He wanted to run the ball rights attack. Didn't you say I'm not a good leader? Well, I'll show you the team to you and let you know that I'm not only a general who can charge forward, but also a coach who can win thousands of miles away

Kobe organized Gasol to break through and caused Harrington to foul. Espanyol made one of two free throws. Then Odom immediately turned around and made a jump shot from the left bottom line. Then Kobe and Fisher made three-pointers from left to right. The Warriors' leading advantage was almost chased in a blink of an eye. And that's not all. Kobe led the Lakers to continue to attack and attack. After suffering the humiliating start of 186, the Lakers played an 18-revenge counterattack wave, surpassing the score in one fell swoop.

At the last moment before the end of the first quarter, Kobe continued his bravery in the last game and scored two more points to buzzer-beat, helping the Lakers to take a 224 lead. However, Warriors fans were not in a hurry, but they were very angry, because the reason why the Lakers could make such a counterattack was because Chamberlain inexplicably took two fouls in a row, and Old Nelson had to switch him to the bench, which allowed the Lakers to seize the opportunity.

The Warriors inside without Chamberlain, just like a sieve, Gasol and Bynum and Odom joined forces to attack the penalty area and completely dominated that acre of three-point land.

In the second quarter, Kobe's breakthrough and investment still helped the Lakers remain strong. Nelson had to send Chamberlain, who had already committed two fouls in advance.

Chamberlain's level of inside line has helped the team too much. As soon as he came on the court, the Warriors immediately opened the position, and Billups made a three-pointer long shot. Under Chamberlain's leadership, the Warriors strengthened their defense again, and a 102-stroke narrowed the gap between the two teams to 1 point.

At this time, Kobe stood up again. With him, the Lakers don’t have to worry about scoring. He played the leading role and scored 6 points in a row, rekindling the Lakers’ offensive firepower. In the last 3 seconds of this quarter, West made a jump shot, but because Kobe led the team to play so well, the Warriors were still behind the Lakers 48-l at the end of the half.

At the beginning of the third quarter, the Warriors defended wildly and focused all their energy on the defensive end. There was a serious problem with the Lakers' offense. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Warriors launched a step-by-step counterattack, relying on Barnes' three-pointer from the right wing to help the team overtake the score.

The Zen master could only ask for a timeout to deploy new tactics, and Kobe also made a comeback. After playing, he scored in the mid-range shot first, and Chamberlain immediately dunked in the inside, but just halfway through this quarter, the Lakers regained the lead with Kobe's breakthrough layup.

Then both sides were unwilling to fall behind. Stimulated by the victory, the scores of the two teams rose alternately. At the end of this quarter, Gasol and Odom, both generals, were replaced. Harrington scored two points from the right jumper to lead the Warriors to launch another attack climax. By the end of the third quarter, the Warriors led the Lakers with 7566 to double-digits.

The show didn't last long. After the fourth quarter, the Lakers changed to the starting lineup. Kobe scored 6 points in less than a minute, forcing the Warriors to suspend the game. After the game continued, the Lakers were still chasing. Although Billups made a three-pointer from the right wing, the Lakers' counterattack was difficult to stop and they quickly chased the score.

At the important moment, the tired Chamberlain violated the defense for three seconds, and the Lakers took the opportunity to score 6 points in a row to overtake the score. Within nearly 7 and a half minutes in the fourth quarter, the tired Warriors only scored 4 points, and their offensive state was extremely sluggish. In the last 1 minute and 2 seconds of the game, West made a long shot to narrow the gap to - points. Unfortunately, Kobe made two free throws in the last 3 seconds. Chamberlain missed the jump shot, and the Warriors lost their first home court.

After losing two consecutive games, the Warriors' confidence was hit. Kobe's pass-through and triangular tactics were too sharp. They also caught a weakness of the Warriors, that is, there is only one super Chamberlain in the interior. As long as Chamberlain is silent, the team will collapse.

Although the Warriors' brain is Billups, the real reliance of this team is still Chamberlain

The Warriors fans were not convinced that they lost. After Chamberlain left the court with six fouls in the first game, Chamberlain took six fouls this time. The fans angrily questioned the referee's penalty, believing that the league was manipulating this game and deliberately suppressing Chamberlain's Warriors.
