Chapter 216 G5 kicks off

"The next match, please treat it as the last battle!"

Ye Heping said seriously.

Everyone was taken aback for a moment, but then they were a little disapproving.

Vujacic even patted Ye Heping on the shoulder, jokingly said: "Hey! Dude, don't be nervous, we are leading 3:1 now, even if we lose another game, we are still leading 3:2!"

Not only Vujacic, most of the others thought this way, smiling nonchalantly.

"I'm not kidding!"

Ye Heping pushed Vujacic's hand away, and said seriously again.

This time, everyone stopped laughing.

Kobe glanced coldly at Vujacic, who was afraid to speak immediately.

"Tell me!"

Kobe turned to look at Ye Heping and asked.

"I know we are leading 3:1, but if we lose the next game, we will go to play away. At that time, the Suns won two consecutive victories, plus the home court advantage, it may be difficult for us to play."

"And if we lose another game, we will be tied 3:3, and we must play a tiebreaker. The Suns have won three games in a row, plus home court advantage. Who do you think is more likely to win?"

Naturally, the Suns.

Everyone is not stupid, they all understand this truth, and they can't laugh all of a sudden.

"It is said that there has never been a 0:3 comeback in the league, but it is not the case and it will not happen in the future. If we lose the tiebreaker again, we will be the first team to be comeback, and we will be nailed to the pillar of shame forever!"

After Ye Heping finished speaking, everyone's expressions became more serious.

Nobody likes being the backdrop, especially for a record of shame that will forever be remembered in NBA history.

"So, the next game is our best chance, we must fight it as the last battle, we must win!"

Ye Heping said.

"That's right, we must win!"

Kobe agreed.

The rest of the people also nodded in agreement. At this moment, everyone put away their playfulness, felt the pressure, and became tense again.

Seeing the change in everyone's expressions, Ye Heping finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, Ye Heping didn't say anything: "The strength of this Suns team is not as weak as the outside world said, but rather strong, stronger than the Lakers!"

According to real history, the Suns eliminated the Mavericks 4:2 in the second round of this season, and then played the Western Conference Finals with the Spurs.

In the end, they were eliminated by the Spurs 1:4. It seemed that the score was very different, but in fact, the Suns did not lose much in each game, basically losing by single-digit points.

And this also includes Stoudemire's injury and Joe's injury in singles, otherwise the result is hard to say.

This Suns team can fight tough battles, and can also fight tough battles well, instead of just a regular season team as the outside world said, and the playoffs are not good at all.

However, Ye Heping did not say this kind of thought.

After all, this happened later, only the reborn Ye Heping knew about it, but the others didn't understand, who would believe it without proof.

And even if everyone is willing to believe in Ye Heping, this is not a good thing, and it will increase the pressure on everyone in vain.

There must be pressure, but too much will crush you to death.

On May 5, the league did not schedule a game, giving all the playoff teams a breather.

After all, the intensity of the playoffs is too great, and the players are a little bit overwhelmed.

5 month 17 day.

The Pistons beat the Pacers, and the defending champion beat the Pacers 86:67. It felt like the Pacers had let out a sigh of relief after losing the fourth game, and their state was getting worse and worse.

But this is also normal. After all, the current Pacers are too weak in strength. Before, they were supported by a spirit, and the spirit is always limited.

With a big score of 3:2 and the Pistons leading, it seems that it is only a matter of time before the Pacers are eliminated.

Later, the Rockets played the Spurs.

McGrady still did not play, it seems that the injury is more serious than the media guessed.

Yao Ming played very well tonight, and the Rockets team also worked hard. They were in a stalemate with the Spurs for three quarters.

But in the fourth quarter, Yao Ming's physical problems broke out again, coupled with Ginobili's burst of sudden shots, directly opened up the point difference.

In the final 103:90, the Spurs eliminated the Rockets 4:1.

The Heat are the first to advance, followed by the Spurs, and the Pistons seem to be only a matter of time.

On May 5, the fifth game between the Lakers and the Suns began.

Both teams got two days off, the players are recovering well, and it looks like it will be another battle of the dragons.

On the Suns side, singles Joe still wore a suit and watched the game from the sidelines, replaced by Jim Jackson.

The Lakers are the regular starting lineup.

Beep beep!

At the beginning of the game, Stoudemire still won the jump ball, and Nash advanced with the ball.

In the frontcourt, Atkins defended very tightly and gave enough confrontation to prevent Nash from easily getting a shot.

Nash didn't make a strong attack either, but asked Marion to come up with a pick-and-roll.

With the help of Marion's pick-and-roll, Nash got rid of Atkins and killed with the ball.

But Odom switched defenses quickly and successfully blocked Nash's breakthrough.

This is a good opportunity to play small and big. Nash wants to eat Odom by speed, but Odom is extremely focused on defense. Nash tried to break through several times but failed.

Odom is not distracted, the lower limit is an All-Star, this is not covered.

As long as Odom defends with all his strength, he can cause trouble for anyone.

In the end, Nash could only choose to pass the ball, and Stoudemire got the ball and killed it.

But Ye Heping moved very quickly, and immediately assisted in the defense, helping Mim pinch Stoudemire, causing Stoudemire to make a mistake.

Kobe made a sneak attack from the side and easily grabbed the ball.

The Lakers had a fast break, and Kobe assisted Atkins for a layup.

2: 0.

There was a commotion at the Staples Center, and the fans were very excited. The Lakers' defense this round was very good.

Continue to play like this, the Lakers can win, and the Suns can be eliminated tonight.

Although it failed to sweep, but 4:1 is not much worse.

The Suns attack.

The pick-and-roll of Nash and his teammates was once again blocked by the Lakers' defense.

This time Nash did not entangle with Odom, but handed the ball to Marion immediately.

Marion's fight against Atkins is a big chance.

Atkins' body is too thin, how can he bear the brutalism of Marion.

It was Ye Heping who made up the defense in time, causing Marion to panic and was forced to stop the ball.

Although Marion is an all-round fighter, he is mainly good at offense and defense, but his offensive skills are not comprehensive. He is good at scoring from open shots and cuts, and his ball-handling skills are slightly weaker.

In addition, his passing (breaking double-team) ability is not very good.

Ye Heping aimed at this point, double-teamed with Atkins, one defended the sky, and the other restricted the bottom, preventing Marion from taking a shot and forcing him to pass the ball.

Marion was a bit embarrassed, passed the ball in a hurry, dodged Ye Heping and Atkins, but was intercepted again by Odom Mantis Cicada.

The Lakers made another defensive counterattack and scored another 2 points.

4: 0.

The Lakers got off to a perfect start.
