Chapter 178 Must Win?Definitely win!

Chapter 178 Must Win?Definitely win!

In the second half, Kobe showed his personal ability and played a wave of personal attacks, narrowing the point difference to 5 points at one point.

But it was Finley and Terry who scored consecutively, extinguishing Kobe's offensive momentum, and the point difference between the two teams was once again deadlocked at 8 to 10 points.

With Kobe off the field, the two sides rotated against the bench, and the Mavericks opened the point difference to 15 points.

In the fourth quarter, Kobe once again played an unsolvable offense, scoring consecutive points for the Lakers.

But the problem is that the Lakers can't stop the Mavericks from scoring, and the point difference has never narrowed.

At the end, 110:101, the Mavericks won the second game of the series with a big score of 2:0.

The Lakers lost two away games in a row and were cornered.

In this game, Nowitzki continued to slump. Although he scored 19 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists, his shooting percentage was still less than [-]%.

但是特里20分3篮板4助攻，芬利17分5篮板2助攻，斯塔克豪斯16分4篮板，范霍恩14分6篮板，丹皮尔11分12篮板3盖帽……一群角色球员打得太好，能打的人也太多。

反倒是湖人这边，科比32分6篮板4助攻，奥多姆21分9篮板2助攻2盖帽，叶和平15分8篮板4助攻2抢断2盖帽……这一次也只有三人得分上双。

"I need more people to stand up!"

"Mihm, Butler, Atkins, the abusive trio, really convinced. Butler scored 30+ a few times in the second half of the regular season. I am the second scorer in the Lakers. This TM just reached 10 points in two games in the playoffs."

"Meme got fucked by a Dampier."

"Atkins made almost [-] turnovers in two games."

"If you fight like this, my lake will really be swept away."

"Hey, accept it. After all, it's the first year of rebuilding. It's not bad to make the playoffs."

……

On the forum, Lakers fans wailed.

In the Mavericks' press conference after the game, Terry even uttered sweeping words.

Although the whole world thinks that the Mavericks will sweep the Lakers, it is completely different when it comes out.

The two-game winning streak really made Terry burst with confidence.

Later on was the Lakers press conference. Coach Frank brought Kobe and Ye Heping to attend.

The reporter asked if Kobe still had the confidence to win?

Kobe said categorically: "Of course, if it's not for winning, why would I go on the court."

There was a commotion at the scene.

It's a standard Kobe answer, but it's a bit inappropriate to say it now, because the Lakers don't seem to have any hope of winning.

What's more, if Kobe was not present, many reporters would have ridiculed on the spot.

Immediately a reporter asked Ye Heping, "What do you think?"

I think you are uncle!

Ye Heping was upset, this reporter was clearly cheating him.

This is a difficult question to answer.

If Ye Heping said no, it would be to demolish Kobe.If Ye Heping said yes, he would be called arrogant again.

Wanting to understand the meaning, many people were waiting for Ye Heping to speak, waiting to see the joke.

Ye Heping thought for a while, and said firmly: "Kobe's answer is my answer, and it is also the only voice of the Lakers. We will never give up at any time."

"In the next game, we will still put in all our strength and we will win!"

At this moment, countless flash lights lit up, taking pictures of Ye Heping speaking.

Many reporters showed sly smiles, and there are headlines for tonight's news.

Say Kobe is arrogant?The whole world knows Kobe's character, and Kobe is also capable, and he doesn't care about the media's opinion at all.This is at best a trivial article.

But if the protagonist is replaced by Ye Heping, it will be interesting.

Although Ye Heping's influence is not worthy of being compared with Kobe, but this guy has been making troubles since he came to the Lakers, and has always been the center of the topic. In addition to the recent selection of the best rookie that has been hyped up, Ye Heping's popularity is higher than Kobe's to a certain extent.

"Crazy rookie!"

"Best rookie in 04? Stupidest rookie?"

"The undrafted show boasted to defeat a strong enemy!"

……

If you modify Ye Heping's words casually, it will be an eye-catching topical article.

As for the impact on Ye Heping himself, why do these reporters care?They just want to drain the heat from Ye Heping's body. What does Ye Heping's life and death have to do with them?

After the press conference, Coach Frank, Kobe and Ye Heping walked in the aisle.

Frank couldn't help but shook his head: "You shouldn't have said that, it will bring you a storm."

"You were originally the hottest candidate for the best rookie, but this incident is likely to make your selection plummet."

If you can't pretend to be aggressive, you will be slapped in the face, which will definitely affect Ye Heping's impression in the minds of the judges.

As for whether Ye Heping meant this, how could they know, anyway, that's what the media said.

Frank regretted it and felt that Ye Heping should not be brought to the scene.

Don't underestimate the honor of the best rookie, this is the highest honor a rookie can get, it shows that you are the best rookie in this class.

And most of the players who won the best rookie have made amazing achievements later.

Baylor, Marshal Zhang, Big O, Old Barry, Skyhook, Big Bird, Jordan, Gorilla, Admiral, Shark, Webber, Kidd, Hill, Iverson, Duncan, Carter, Stoudemire, James...all of these superstars started their NBA journey as the best rookie.

Thinking of this, old Frank blamed himself more and more.

Ye Heping smiled softly: "Coach, I have no choice!"

"If I say no, it's just a confrontation with the boss. The media will say that there are conflicts in our team, and the whole team will be laughed at."

"And when I say yes, I'm the only one who gets made fun of at most."

"So, let me alone bear it!"

For a while, the whole passageway was quiet. Frank and Kobe stared blankly at Ye Heping. This kid actually thought so.

It's so heartwarming and loving!

Ye Heping couldn't stand such affectionate gazes, and waved his hands: "Don't be like this, in fact, I want to win more. If I lose the next game, it will be 0:3, and we really have no chance. So in the next game, we must win!"

Ye Heping vaguely remembered that there was a statistic in later generations: By 2018, there had been a total of 131 3-0 situations in the NBA series, and no team could come back.

In the best three times, the lagging team even drew three games in a row, tied 3:3, but they were all eliminated in the tiebreaker.

They were the Knicks in 1951, the Nuggets in 1994, and the Trail Blazers in 2003.

It's normal to think about it, if you can win, you won't be forced to the point of 0:3.

So in the NBA, 0:3 means being eliminated.

"Yes, we must win!"

Frank patted Ye Heping on the shoulder.

"No! We will definitely win!"

Kobe patted Ye Heping on the other shoulder.

Although there are only a few words, but must win and definitely win are completely different.

At this moment, Kobe's arrogance was fully revealed.
