"It turned out that the Lakers lost."

"I can only say that the Warriors played very well today, especially Durant."

"Well, the Lakers actually played well, but unfortunately the Warriors were too violent today, especially on the offensive end, it was really fierce. The last three-pointer rain killed the game directly."

The competition has ended and people are still talking.

The players on both sides greeted each other and then returned to the locker room.

This is the Western Conference Finals. It is related to the fact that the efforts of the whole season will be in vain. Therefore, friendship first and competition second are nonsense. At this time, it is impossible to show off a generous look.

Entering the locker room, the Lakers were silent.

This is in Staples, their home court, the first game of the Western Conference Finals, and they lost, lost to the Warriors, lost the first game, and fell behind 0:1.

This is not a good thing for this series.

"Okay." Looking at everyone, Scott said, "There are 7 games in this series, and it's just one game. What's the point? Will you be discouraged if you lose a game?"

"Of course not."

"How is this possible?"

"But, I'm really unwilling to accept it."

Everyone said.

The winning or losing of a game cannot defeat the Lakers, but today's loss in this game, everyone really felt unwilling to accept it. They were originally confident that they would win the first game and give the Warriors a warning, but it turned out like this.

The players were very upset.

"So that's the case, what's the point?" Scott said: "Didn't I say that one game is nothing, cheer up, forget about this game, and win me back the next game."

"yes."

"must."

Everyone nodded together, and their fighting spirit soared into the sky.

......

In a blink of an eye, two days passed.

It was Staples Center Stadium again, and the Lakers and Warriors' Western Conference Finals battle ushered in the second game.

In this game, the Lakers united in unity and wanted to avenge their revenge. From the beginning of the game, the Lakers played very fiercely, with tough defense and firm offense, and the players were in good condition. After playing for a few minutes in the first quarter, they led the Warriors by 8 points, forcing Coach Cole to call a timeout.

The Warriors' condition is not bad today, but not as good as the last game. After all, just like the previous game, it is not normal, and it is impossible for them to be like that in every game.

Even Durant is the same. Although he played very firmly, his feel is obviously not as good as the previous game today. After missing two or three consecutive shots, he also reduced his shots.

Until the end of the first quarter, the Lakers led by 8 points.

Entering the second quarter, the Warriors consciously accelerated the rhythm, but the Lakers are also consciously suppressing the rhythm. If they don’t follow the Warriors, they will have to fight a positional battle. The key is that this time, the Lakers’ positional battle was very good, with a high success rate. Once their success rate is high, the Warriors will lose backcourt rebounds, and they will not be able to fight quickly, and the offensive rhythm will not be fast.

This made the Warriors a little depressed.

Now this rhythm is not what they like at all, and once they fall into positional wars, their inside disadvantages will be highlighted, and they can only be suppressed by the Lakers, and the score difference will become bigger and bigger.

When the first half ended, the Lakers had already led by 14 points.

In the audience, people felt strange. The last game was the Warriors leading 11 points in the first half, and this game turned into the Lakers leading 14 points in the first half; the last game was followed by the Warriors' rhythm, but this game was the Lakers who have always controlled the rhythm.

From this point of view, it is actually not difficult to see that when it comes to strength, there is not much difference between the Lakers and the Warriors. As for who wins and who loses, it depends on performance and status.

During the halftime break, Coach Cole re-arranged something.

However, he still had no idea. The last game was because the Warriors showed momentum at the beginning, and the players performed very well, and they made great progress all the way, so they deserved the game. But even so, they were almost reversed by the Lakers in the last quarter, and Durant stood up at the critical moment and defeated the Lakers in one fell swoop.

But this situation was reversed, and the Lakers obviously learned their lessons and guarded the defensively from the beginning. Even if they used foul tactics, they would not allow Durant and Curry to open up on the offensive end.

Moreover, since the beginning of the game, the Warriors have been suppressed by the Lakers.

Sometimes the game is like this. When you start to go well, maybe the whole game will go well, but if it doesn't go well at the beginning, then the whole game may not go well.

Especially when the strength of the two sides is not very different, if the other side can seize the initiative, the other side will have a bigger chance of winning.

The Warriors seized the lead in the last game, and the Lakers seized the lead in this game, so the Lakers suppressed the Warriors and led by more than ten points in the first half.

......

After a while, the second half began.

As soon as the third quarter came, Durant wanted to lead the team to counterattack and scored two goals, but he failed to drive the team. One reason was that other players felt bad, and the other reason was that Chen Feng, the Lakers, also stood up and competed with Durant, and refused to give in, which made the Warriors' momentum unable to rise.

Until the end of the third quarter, the Warriors were still 10 points behind, which was better than the first half, but the 10-point gap was still not small, especially when both sides were very strong.

"Hosh, hosh..."

During the break, the Warriors players sat on the sidelines and gasped, their faces a little ugly.

They played a bit frustrated in this game and have never been able to lead since the beginning of the game. In this case, the psychology of the players is a test, just like running. You are always behind and chasing others. It’s okay to go through one lap, or two lap, and you can still see the opponent not far ahead. But after five laps, even though the opponent is still not far ahead, you will feel very far away, tired, and even discouraged.

The Warriors are not discouraged yet, but they feel tired - they are tired.

Seeing everyone like this, Cole frowned, took a deep breath, and said, "Everyone is cheering up, don't forget that this is the Western Conference Finals, we are here to take revenge. There is still one quarter left, play well for me. We have never seen any scenes or experience any games. It's no big deal."

"Um."

"right."

"There's another section."

Everyone responded.

Here, Scott is also giving everyone a polite voice to the Lakers: "We are leading now, but the game is not over yet. Let's continue playing like this later. Remember, you must not relax. We must suppress the Warriors until the game is over."

"yes."
