Chapter 1232 Stevens: It’s Too Difficult for Me (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, Commanders!)

Chapter 1232 Stevens, it’s too hard for me (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, commanders!)

The battle is about to begin, and the pre-match interviews between the two teams also attract attention.

When the two teams met in the regular season, James and Durant responded whether they gathered in Los Angeles because of Tang Tian.

At that time, the two people had completely opposite responses, which caused fans to discuss it for a long time after the game.

This time the two teams really met in the Western Conference Finals, and this problem was raised again around the corner.

"KD said before that you came to Los Angeles to defeat the Pelicans. You are the Avengers. Do you think you can succeed in revenge?"

The reporter is really cunning. Compared with the previous questions, this time there was no possibility for the two brothers to avoid it.

"Yes, of course."

Durant's answer was the same as before, still very direct.

"I know what Buckley said, and we know how the movie ends."

James is still James. Although he didn't say it very straightforwardly, the meaning was already obvious.

The Avengers series has come to an end in stages. Thanos, the biggest villain, was finally defeated by the assembled Avengers.

If the script in the movie is followed, the winner will be the Avengers in the end.

In other words, he means the Lakers will win.

For the Pelicans, local media reporters in Los Angeles also asked a similar question.

"Barkley compared you to Thanos on the show, and compared James and Durant to the Avengers. The Lakers are the Avengers. What do you think?"

The same question, but if asked to Tang Tian, ​​this metaphor is not good at all.

As James hinted, if he were Thanos, he would be defeated in the end.

After all, it was a local reporter in Los Angeles who asked this question.

"We can't travel through time, right?"

Tang Tian did not answer directly, but suddenly asked a very strange question.

The reporter didn't understand, but nodded anyway.

"Since we can't travel through time and space, in the real world, we all know who will win in the end."

Like James, Tang Tian didn't say it very straightforwardly, but the meaning was easy to understand.

In the Avengers 3 movie, Thanos collected 6 gems and finally snapped his fingers to do what he wanted to do and wipe out half of all life in the universe.

He also became one of the few villains in the movie who finally won.

Just like what Tang Tian said at the beginning, you can't really travel through time and space in reality, so that is already the final outcome.

The one who wins in the end is Thanos.

The answers from both sides were reported by the media, sparking another wave of heated discussion.

"I found Don and LeBron to be so awesome. Even if you don't have any IQ, you can't understand the war of words between these two people!"

"The legendary curse words don't contain any curse words, but you still think the fragrance smells good?"

"If these two people participate in a program such as a complaining conference, I think the effect of the program will be explosive!"

"But the game between these two teams is really exciting. Buckley's metaphor is really appropriate. The Avengers and Thanos will end in 3 or 4!"

"Lakers championship!"

"Pelicans Championship!"

…

The verbal sparring between Tang Tian and James was evenly matched among fans on social media.

There are James and Lakers fans on James' side, and Tang Tian and Chinese fans on Tang Tian's side.

Amid this war of words, the first game between the Lakers and Pelicans took place at the Staples Center that night.

The ratings of this game immediately broke the historical record at the beginning.

James and Durant faced Tang Tian in the Western Conference Finals.

Regardless of others, thinking about such a matchup is exciting enough, let alone watching the game directly.

After the opening ceremony, the starters for both teams were announced one after another.

The Pelicans' regular lineup includes Brogdon and Tang Tian on the outside, Green and Davis on the striker, and Gasol on the center.

There was a change in the Lakers' lineup, and Simmons did not appear in the starting lineup.

Wade and Middleton on the outside, Durant and James on the front, and Lopez at center.

Before the start of the season, James said that he would help Simmons develop three-pointers as a veteran.

But it turns out that Simmons really can't be taught. After one season, his three-point shooting percentage was only a dismal 20%.

When it came to the most critical game, he was directly put on the bench.

It can be seen that Vogel attaches great importance to the opening game.

This is also reasonable.

So far in the playoffs, the Lakers and Pelicans are the two teams that have shown the strongest strength.

Now that the two sides are fighting, it is very important how this head can be opened.

The game started immediately, with the starting lineups of both teams coming on stage one after another.

Amid the cheers of Los Angeles fans, Lopez took the lead to jump and return the ball to the Lakers half, officially kicking off the game.

The Lakers' first offense was started by Durant. He caught the ball and beat Green behind him, choosing a simple turn shot.

"Uh-huh!"

The basketball goes hollow into the net, and the Lakers' first offense has it!

Just like Tang Tian felt after watching the game video, the semifinals improved the condition of Durant and James.

But looking back, Tang Tian rushed Middleton with the ball and made an emergency stop before Durant could help defend.

James used his speed to squeeze past Davis to the basket on the next possession.

Gasol helped prevent interference, and James used a mid-air lever to reverse the layup.

The 35-year-old can still complete this kind of action. James's physical fitness is really good, and his current state is as hot as Durant.

The Pelicans' positional offense was still Tang Tian's, breaking into the penalty area and attracting James' help, and he passed the ball to Davis.

Davis quickly hit the board and scored two points smoothly.

After Davis scored, he high-fived Tang Tian.

Tang's talent is perfect on this ball, and he seems to be much more at ease than when he played against the Spurs.

This is also expected.

In terms of defensive pressure, the wings of George and Leonard in the last round were able to put the greatest defensive pressure on Tang Tian.

The Lakers are obviously weaker, and Tang Tian naturally has more room to play.

However, the difference between the Lakers and the Spurs is also here. They are obviously more offensive in the game.

The opening rounds between the two teams also became a microcosm of this section of the game.

The back-and-forth battle between the Pelicans and the Spurs was not enough to watch in the last round, but this time it was a plus-like experience.

For the Lakers, Jan Du is in great form, and for the Pelicans, in addition to Tang Tian, ​​Davis is also in great form.

Davis was also one of them who was in good form in the last round.

Seeing that Davis was in good condition, Stevens also asked Tang Tian to take a rest and kept him until the end of the quarter.

But at this moment, an accident happened suddenly.

When Davis was defending James, he jumped to block a shot and landed directly on the instep of James, spraining his foot!

There was a slight suspicion of James stepping on this ball, but it seemed like an unintentional move.

But no matter what the reason was, Davis was helped off the field by the team doctor, and the situation was not very optimistic.

On social media, fans have already started calling her mother-in-law.

Gasol sprained his foot in the first game against the Spurs in the last round. This time he sprained his foot again in the first game against the Lakers, and it was Davis who was injured!
