Chapter 524 [My Destiny]
There are more people who are bullish on the Spurs to advance. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Some people on the Internet began to analyze the shortcomings of the Lakers, which only began to rebuild last summer, and the tactical run-in was not enough; Young players on the perimeter are inexperienced, prone to making mistakes in the playoffs, and so on.
The Lakers played well in the last round, and many people praised the newcomers, but they lost two games in this round of the series, and another group of people stood up and put "afterthoughts".
Except for the San Antonio people, the Spurs don't have many fans, and some people support the original intention of the Spurs, because Yang Rui talked too crazy in an interview, and they just can't get used to crazy people.
Chinese fans are okay, because they want Yao Ming to win the championship, so they unconditionally support the Lakers. Many fans in Europe and the United States want to see Yang Rui being slapped in the face, pretending to be B deserving of being struck by lightning.
NBC experts analyzed the lineups of the two teams and bluntly said that the Spurs were stronger on the show. The two teams also have two All-Stars and excellent role players inside and outside, and the Spurs have experienced veterans; The Lakers are strong in Kobe Bryant and the three interior lines, but Yao Ming lacks playoff experience.
Experts from ABC Radio also came out to brush up on their presence, but they were worried that the Lakers would win it back, and the comments were crooked, and the fans had to be straight again and again to understand. Probably the same meaning as NBC, bullish on the Spurs. They think that the Lakers have done everything they can think of now, but the Spurs players are too strong, and their luck is not bad.
In addition, the ABC radio program also emphasized that the Spurs have a strong morale at home, play very tough, and are afraid that the Lakers' self-confidence will be lost, so the next game will be boring.
In their opinion, the lack of free throws in the "drug combination" is not the home whistle, but the Spurs are tough.
As soon as the referee of the fourth game was announced, I don't know if the Spurs can be tough.
David Stern is not going to watch the Lakers get eliminated. If the Spurs win at home again, they will take a 3-1 lead to get match point and have a 90% chance of qualifying, so he arranged Joe Crawford!
As we all know, Crawford is a special surname and is rich in the best sixth man. As soon as Yang Rui saw that it was this bald head, he knew that the Lakers' opportunity was coming. If they can't win this game, they should kill themselves in a minute.
This person's full name is Joseph Joy Crawford, born in 1951, became an NBA referee in 1977, is very old, is a golden whistle-like figure, born in a referee family, his father and brother are both referees in Major League Baseball.
The 54-year-old old man Qiao has three characteristics, first of all, his bald head, since people knew this person, he has always been bald, I don't know if he had hair when he went to school, if he didn't have it all the time, this is probably a reason for his later distortion of human nature.
Secondly, he is known for his "unforgiving mouth". He was the boss on the court, and it was common to blow superstar fouls in the 2003 playoffs. He blew the Mavericks for four technical fouls in 10 minutes, directly ejecting Mavericks coach Nelson Sr. and assistant coach Del Harris from the game, simply because the two did not listen to Crawford's orders and obediently sat on the bench.
Thirdly, and most importantly, this is a Lakers fan, and he blows the Lakers' games, winning more and losing less.
When Crawford was 28 years old, he showed that he liked to play Lakers games, and this interesting story made the news.
When he was in Los Angeles, he always put his coat on the tech table next to Jack Nicholson's seat, and he loved Nicholson so much that Crawford would stare at him for a while whenever he was in his seat.
Finally one day, when Crawford went to put his coat out, he was ruthless and greeted his idol very hard. "Hello, Jack."
As a result, Nicholson replied, "Hello, Joe." ”
Crawford was so excited that he casually found a pay phone in the arena and called his wife and yelled, "Jack Nicholson knows who I am!" ”
As we all know, Nicholson is the mascot of the Lakers, who have eight seats on their home court adjacent to the visiting bench on the sidelines, and when it comes to the playoffs, these seats are priced at $2,300 per game. In two of them, even if someone intended to buy with a check for $500,000, the answer would only be NO. The reason is simple, their owner is Nicholson.
As early as the 70s of the 20th century, when Chamberlain and West joined forces to fight the world, Jack's heart was painted purple and gold; Since then, everything has changed dramatically for the Lakers, the owner has changed, the arena has changed, the announcer has changed, and the coaches and players have changed again and again, only Nicholson's sunglasses and black jacket, together with the glory of the Lakers' dynasties, have been passed down rain or shine.
It's hard to explain Nicholson's deep affection for the Lakers. He privately told Yang Rui that it was because he was close to home to watch the game. And what he said in an interview is: "The Lakers' game is like a good bottle of red wine, which lasts for a long time and tastes different every season. ”
That's right, the Spurs are at home, and the league has arranged such a game to blow the penalty.
What's even more surprising is that Nicholson made an exception to watch the Lakers game on the road, and he hoped that the Lakers would win the championship, and this game was crucial. However, he didn't enjoy a front-row seat in Los Angeles at the ATT Center, and when the TV cameras caught his dignity before kick-off, the crowd booed.
After Crawford came out, he put his jacket on the technical table as usual, and looked at Nicholson's position as if he had telepathy, the fifth row, not far from the technical table.
Nicholson waved and greeted him cordially. "Hello, Joe."
Crawford was stunned for a moment, showed an extremely happy smile, and looked at each other in pairs, at this moment, they seemed to forget that they were at the home of the Spurs, the home of the enemy.
In this atmosphere, you have to play music: You're my destiny can be bring, You're my destiny can be brought, You're my everything, can be brought slowly, Bu second sweep, a Lao Kai, Soriosi, Bu Lao Bu Mida......
The outcome of the game was sealed from the start.
It is the same blocking and dismantling of Yao Ming and Kobe, the same breakthrough and air cut, and there is a physical confrontation on the inside, and Crawford will not turn a blind eye. In the last game, most of the Spurs' defensive actions were not whistled for fouls.
In fact, from another point of view, Crawford is not a black whistle, but a different way of blowing, the star whistle is bigger than the home whistle. Such a scale of blowing penalties, even if you check the video after the game, you can't say anything about him, and many fouls are originally blown.
Popovich didn't admit it, and because he was unhappy with Crawford's blow, he roared on the sidelines again and again, and finally received a second technical foul in the middle of the third quarter and was ejected.
In the final quarter, the Spurs did not react quickly enough in the absence of a head coach and lost the game.
Yao Ming played 36 minutes, shooting 7-of-16, 0-of-1 from three-point range, 12-of-14 from the free-throw line, and finished with 26 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal and 3 blocks.
Bryant played 42 minutes, shooting 13-of-24, 0-of-1 from three-point range and 6-of-8 from the free-throw line to finish with 32 points, four rebounds and eight assists. Both are back to normal levels.
Mo, Jones, Rashid, Hojberg and others provided enough outside firepower to hit 12 three-pointers together.
At 113-98, the Lakers tied the score at 2-2.
The Spurs' iron-clad defensive line was ineffective and was whistled for a lot of fouls, with Muhammad graduating with six fouls, Duncan also carrying five fouls, and Ginobili, Bowen and Malone each had four fouls. The GDP combination has all cut 20+ again, but the others are only Tinsley with 12 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists.
Now Spurs fans are dissatisfied again, the Spurs only made 15 free throws in the whole game, and the Lakers made 31 free throws, is this still home?
