The G1 battle ended, and the whole alliance exploded.

Everyone knows that the Lakers are strong, and everyone knows that the Lakers will have a huge impact on the Warriors, but when the real Warriors lose to the Lakers, people are still amazed at the magic of the playoffs.

It was an upset, after all, on the home court of the Warriors, who had won the championship twice before and lost the first game at home, which had never been the case.

ESPN columnists say the Warriors have faced their biggest challenge in recent years.

After the G1 game, Sports Illustrated ranked the top 50 highest-paid sports personalities in the United States in the 07-08 season, Americans, excluding foreigners like Yang Di. Golf King Tiger Woods topped the list with a total revenue of 127.9 million.

In basketball, the little emperor James ranked third with a total income of 40.45 million, and Keze ranked fifth with a total income of 35.49 million. The Rockets' Maddie and Francis are both on the list.

Woods' source of income consists of two pieces, and in terms of tournament prize money, he earned a total of 22.9 million last year, which is not particularly exaggerated. But when it comes to advertising, Woods earns a staggering 105 million! This is also the athlete with the most advertising revenue in the American sports industry, surpassing the second place and about double that of golf star Mickelson! It can be seen that the tiger has a strong appeal.

James, the little emperor, is third on this list, and he has earned a total of $40.45 million this season, including a salary of $12.45 million and advertising revenue of $28 million. In fact, the little emperor is worthy of the name of "money printing machine", in his five-year career, he has earned 167 million! And the little emperor is aiming at Buffett and is considering joining the business world. Peter Pan's salary income this season reached 19.49 million, and the advertising income was 16 million, but the total income of 35.49 million was still enough to maintain Kobe's position. It is worth mentioning that Kobe's "enemy" Ao Fat happens to rank sixth, with a total income of 35 million, including 20 million wages and 15 million advertising expenses, which is a little worse than Kobe.

Garnett ranked 8th with a total income of 31 million, with a salary of 322 million, advertising expenses of 9 million, and basketball players reached 4th among the top 10 earners in the sports list, which shows the strong influence of the NBA. Maddie's total income last season was 25.01 million, ranking 17th on this list, and its income includes 19.01 million salary income and 6 million advertising expenses.

Yang Di ranked first in the foreign income rankings, and this year, Yang Di's income of 52.59 million US dollars became the highest-paid player in the NBA, of which Yang Di's advertising revenue reached nearly 40 million US dollars.

The NBA's ultra-high income has caused heated discussions, and the entire NBA is a huge clutch of money, and the income of players who play here is generally maintained at a high level.

In addition, surprisingly, Durant's income is staggering. "Adu", who has only been in the industry for only one year, has a total income of 25.95 million! Including salary income of 4.3 million and advertising income of 21.65 million. In fact, judging from this data, Durant's advertising value is even higher than that of Kobe.

After the G1 game, the topic of whether Kobe Bryant is the first person in the league has been put back on the table, and judging from Kobe's performance in defeating the Warriors with a super high score of 48 points, he is qualified enough to take on this honor.

ESPN experts said that the probability of the Lakers winning this series has increased a lot, reaching at least 59 percent, slightly lower than the Warriors before, and has now completed a comprehensive overtake, and the Warriors, who have lost their home court advantage, will face a life-and-death challenge.

"Basket World" has rated the latest edition of the league power rankings, and the top two are the Lakers and Celtics, two former dynasty teams waiting to be restored. The Rockets are ranked 9th, and the comments show a sigh of regret. The Warriors are in third place, and after a loss, the whole league is not optimistic about the Warriors creating a dynasty, and the Lakers are at this level, and the Warriors seem to be unable to pass.

The Lakers lost the game with the Warriors, and in addition to Yang Di, Monta Ellis is another Warriors player who has been criticized by experts.

Since the last series against the Jazz, Monta Ellis has not shown his regular season sixth man of the year, not only not being able to help the Warriors in offensive firepower, but also becoming a big colander on the defensive end, an ATM for others to score points.

It sounds sad, but Monta Ellis' failure to capitalize on the Lakers' weak bench was a key factor in the Warriors' eventual failure to play to their own characteristics.

Monta Ellis scored just four points in the game.

Even worse than Trevor Ariza, the defensive wing that Montgomery appreciated in the middle was also unanimously praised by experts, and was the only Warriors player in the G1 game with a positive rating, although his defensive Kobe Bryant scored the second-highest 48 points in the playoffs in his career, but when Ariza was on the floor, Kobe Bryant was not able to score as hard as he could, and Ariza's win-loss ratio was even positive.

The rest of the players such as Ray Allen, Danny Granger, and Byron Davis received negative comments from the media, and the Warriors lost one game, but as if they had lost the whole world, and everyone began to blame this team and lost confidence in the Warriors to win in the end.

Montgomery said in an interview that he would defend the home court and bring the score back to the same running line.

On May 23, in the G2 game of the Western Conference Finals, the Warriors played at home.

In the case that the league is not optimistic about the Warriors, the Warriors have a stable output of the whole team, Yang Di got 34 points and 18 rebounds, Byron Davis 22 points and 7 assists, Ray Allen 22 points and 4 assists, the big three combined for 78 points, defeated the Lakers 109-95 at home, and tied the series score.

Kobe Bryant didn't have as much excitement in this game as the previous one, scoring 29 points and 9 rebounds in the game, including 10-of-22 shooting, less than 50 percent.

Garnett continued to perform across the board, with 18 points, 11 rebounds and 5 assists, and the two superstars played normally.

Although the Lakers lost the game, the Lakers fans themselves didn't care at all, but looked very satisfied.

"We already have home-court advantage, as long as we protect the next two home courts, the Warriors will be 3-1 up, and then win any of the next three games, and we can send the whole Warriors home to fish."

Theoretically, this is indeed the case, like the Rockets, after winning two away games in a row, and then losing two home games in a row, historically it is just that, usually in the playoffs, the team playing at home can have stronger strength and be more able to win the game.

May 25, Los Angeles, Staples Arena.

The Warriors started the G3 battle of the Western Conference Finals in this piece of condemnation.
