It is no different from when Louis left. It is still the same, with fanatical fans and many celebrities. The gorgeous arena facilities make msg's watching experience significantly better than other teams' home courts.
Now, of course, the Staples Center has surpassed that.
Louie left seven championships and two retired jerseys here.
Even though he led the Lakers to beat the Knicks twice in a row, the New York fans still have the same feeling for him, and many people hope that he will return.
Louie sat on the sidelines and watched the players warm up.
Bird instead supervised them from the sidelines like a coach.
Before the opening, Louis stood up and came to the front of the starting five, "Four consecutive championships are only a few feet away from us. This will be the most valuable resume in your career. However, I believe you all know that we It's more than that, you're the greatest team ever, and if it's your last fight as a team, it should be bright, bright."
"Go and make basketball beautiful!"
The Knicks' rigid attitude is undoubtedly surprising.
Except for the Knicks, the opponents the Lakers encountered along the way often surrendered psychologically before the series was decided.
The Kings are like this, the Mavericks are like this, and so are the Spurs.
The Knicks were defeated in three games, but they were able to clean up their morale in the fourth game and still walked into the court with the heart of winning.
They're the only team that hasn't sold the soul of their sport.
After the opening game, Ewing slapped the Knicks twice in a row, giving the Knicks a brief lead. Then, Wilson used the meteor tactics to run out of space and hit a three-pointer.
Duncan blocked Ewing, Bodi Loga made a one-stop fast break to watch the pass behind the back, and Kobe ended with a dunk.
The Lakers took the lead and never let the New Yorkers catch up.
However, the Knicks did not let the Lakers get away easily.
Louis stood on the sidelines watching this team that was powerless against the Lakers. The only thing they could rely on was a slightly loose whistleblowing scale. Only under this scale could they give it a go.
They recognized this, so they fought hand-to-hand with the Lakers, hoping to use endless physical confrontation to confuse their opponents. However, even if they have to fight hand-to-hand, the Lakers are not afraid. They can satisfy the Knicks' confrontation needs while using their personal abilities to control the situation.
The tactical intentions of the New Yorkers are doomed to be a fantasy.
When the Lakers led by 10 points, the situation seemed to be out of control, and then Miller stepped up and hit a three-pointer.
Bodi Loga scored a three-pointer on McGrady's head, widening the point difference again. Is the New Yorker going to fall?
Not yet, Ewing beat Duncan hard and scored 2+1.
The point difference returned to single digits.
Everyone can feel the strength of the Lakers, and their scoring is effortless.
The Knicks give people the feeling that they are not strong, not even tough, all they have is self-esteem.
Their arrogant self-esteem made it impossible for them to accept the defeat that had already been determined before it even started.
They want to prove the world wrong.
Before halftime, the Knicks, who were 12 points behind, threw an incredible backcourt three-pointer through the hands of Hill, forcing the point difference to 9 points.
Madison Garden has once again become Inden Garden, and the crowd is full of voices, and the fans roar excitedly, hoping to boost the morale of the team through this move.
At the beginning of the second half, the situation changed suddenly. Bodi Loga made a wonderful pass to Duncan, who dunked.
Kobe intercepted Hill's pass and hit a chasing three-pointer, and then Garnett assisted McGrady's breakthrough with a long pass to Wilson for a dunk.
The point difference climbed to 15 points in an instant, and the Knicks requested a timeout.
Back from the timeout, it was Miller again. His three-pointers stopped the Lakers from expanding the point difference at critical moments again and again.
Louie stood watching from the sidelines.
One of the most uncharacteristic things about Louie tonight is that he rarely rotates.
Louis, who has always liked long rotations, played a seven-man rotation for the first time.
Since the third quarter, he hasn't changed much.
The tougher the Knicks' resistance, the more the Lakers' potential will be unleashed.
For two years, they have been looking for an opponent who can fight them to the end. Now, the Knicks have proved that not all teams are so spineless.
There are always teams that would rather die than surrender.
The Lakers played more smoothly and more naturally.
Bodi Loga suddenly handed the ball to Wilson, "Benj, try to give me the ball!"
He wants to play as a pure scorer against Hill, who played well tonight.
Bodi Loga inadvertently did what Louis always wanted him to do, hold the ball less and move more.
When Wilson became that ball handler, the five gears of beautiful basketball began to turn, and the hyperactive players were forming a synergy that was the only unstoppable thing on the court.
Wilson found the right steps to start a beautiful basketball, start with him, start with Duncan, transition through Bodi Loga, and end with Kobe or Garnett.
But now, they have found a new path on the basis of the original.
Wilson gave the ball to Duncan, and Duncan lobbed the ball to Bodi Loga.
At the moment of receiving the ball, Bodi Loga pointed the ball to Garnett beside him, and directly used the latter's body to bypass Hill's defense and go straight to the basket. Garnett received the ball without hesitation, and then passed it back to Bodi Loga, who used the screen to throw off the defense.
The entire offensive path is extremely clear, and Bodi Loga silently cut through the Knicks' defense like a sharp knife, and nothing can cause the slightest bump in his path.
The ball goes in, the show goes on!
Wilson began to let Duncan launch the offense, and when Duncan led the offense successfully, he asked Garnett to launch the offense... At this moment, the power of the five cores was clearly displayed in front of the world.
The five players on the Lakers field, no matter who they are, can become the core of the offense and have enough tacit understanding to cooperate with others.
No defense can stop such an offensive.
The iron bones of the Knicks were melted by the fiery offense. They were thrown off by 20 points, 30 points, but they have not given up yet.
That's what the Lakers want.
Stand up straight and don't get down because they haven't played enough.
Throughout the third quarter, the Lakers blasted 45 points.
After the game entered the fourth quarter, the Lakers were at their best. The Knicks, who refused to give up, boosted the opponent's arrogance and indirectly prompted him to set a record that could not be surpassed. In the finals, the Lakers slashed in a single quarter 51 points.
The most wonderful cooperation occurred in the middle of the fourth quarter. The ball passed through the hands of five players, and finally Bodi Loga at the top of the arc threw it into the air with one hand and handed it to Kobe to complete a 180-degree turn and catch the Tomahawk dunk.
Bird was so excited that his mouth was parched and he asked hoarsely, "Can we let them fight like this?"
Louis didn't answer because he was also dumbfounded.
At the last minute, Louie replaced the starting five, who played an average of 38 minutes, and replaced Porter, Hornacek, Liu Yuqing, Wang Mukong, and Da Ben to play the last minute.
At this moment, the Lakers scored 159 points, while their opponent Knicks only scored 88 points.
Louis never imagined that life would play such a big joke on him.
When he has given up the pursuit of the temple tactics, the Lakers will play the ideal temple in the final game of the season, which is the perfect interpretation of beautiful basketball.
For Louie, this was the best end to his Lakers career.
He watched the meaningless last minute with excitement.
In the end, 163 to 92, the Lakers played a flawless game with seamless tactics.
When the final whistle sounded, someone realized that this team was going to be history.
Ernie Johnson said: "After many years, what will we use to miss this team? I believe there will be smiles, tears, and pride, because we are witnesses of this history. We are fortunate to witness The brilliant achievements of such a team, their significance is not only for Los Angeles, but also for the game of basketball. They changed the game of basketball and saved professional basketball. If you like basketball, you can't help but love this team!"
Ewing, who lost to the ground, noticed Duncan's big eyes.
As if to say, now you should shake my hand, right?
Ewing stretched out his hand and said coldly, "Congratulations."
Duncan laughed and happily held Ewing's hand.
Kobe is trash talking Tracy McGrady for another Finals win.
Tracy McGrady is the fastest Knicks player to accept defeat. Regarding Kobe's aggressive language, he said nonchalantly: "I can't make up for the gap in the team. If you and I swap positions, I will do better than you!"
"Then you will live your life as if!" Kobe snorted, "I'm sorry, I'm going to spray champagne!"
Wilson and Miller greet each other with a hug.
Garnett jumped on the bench and announced that next year he will win the fifth consecutive championship.
Barkley felt that he should lie down for another year and try to get the fifth ring, so that he could have a ring full of one hand. It would be a pity to retire with the regret of five missing one like Dumars.
Louie went to the old chap.
Tomjanovich congratulated Louie ~www.mtlnovel.com~ and asked, "Louis, will you stay in LA?"
"No," Tomjanovich was the first person to hear about Louis' decision, and he wasn't surprised. "Because I am a man like the wind, there is no place to trap me."
Louie was then interviewed live and he was the last to return to the dressing room.
Suddenly, the noisy locker room became quiet.
Louis looked over everyone's face, as usual, he needed to say something to summarize the results of this season.
This will be the last time he does this with the Lakers.
"Gentlemen, thank you for a year of great work. Your professionalism and attitude have made my job so much easier. Maybe you don't know what happened tonight. Maybe you don't know what it will bring to the game of basketball. What a change, however, some great seeds have been planted on the court. You have planted them with countless passes, runs and shots! In the near future, it will take root, and by then, everyone will be singing Our story! I'm so proud of you for all of this!"
