The situation in the Western War is extremely dangerous.

game3, both sides confront each other.

At the beginning of the game, the Lakers tried to get James to the right.

Although James has always been on the court with his right hand, he is actually a left-handed man. Letting him attack on the right is also a trick for the Lakers.

But their strategy didn't work at the beginning. In some rounds, the Lakers' forward was disappointed to be screened and had to choose to switch defenses; in other rounds, the Lakers gave the Timberwolves some comfortable three-pointers.

In general, they did not perform well and lacked tough confrontation.

This situation made Kevin Garnett quite angry. During the halftime break, after he gave a "swearing" midfielder speech, the Lakers became more focused on defense in the second half, and they almost never had any defensive distractions.

As a result, James defended MVP hottest James didn't score a single point in the second half and only gave a single assist.

The moves James tried on his right side seemed very reluctant and even out of balance - this kind of bad move was exactly what the Lakers wanted to see.

Pressure is the theme of the second half.

With two superstars with excellent offense and defense, the Lakers implemented this strategy to the extreme.

The Lakers' strict defense does not start only when James catches the ball.

Generally, from the time the Timberwolves obtain the ball rights until the Lakers win back the ball rights, any Lakers' backcourt player has the mission of chasing James all over the field.

James struggled in the second half not just because he missed the shot, but because he had no chance to take action (he only made 5 shots in the second half, and none of them hit).

This defense of the Lakers destroyed the Timberwolves' morale from a spiritual level.

When the Lakers began to put pressure, the Timberwolves, who could not stand it, were hit with a 21-2 attack wave, which directly lost the suspense of the game.

In some rounds, it is the Lakers' defense that forces the opponent to make mistakes or 24-second violations that cause the ball's right to change.

As for O'Neal, when the pace of the game became so intense, he obviously couldn't run, and he performed mediocrely like James.

In this case, the Timberwolves had no way to win.

The game3,kk combination defended with high pressure to defeat the Timberwolves, snatched the home advantage from the opponent, and led by 2-1 in a big score.

"Shake is right, I really don't dare to attack on the court."

At the end of the game, Garnett responded to O'Neal's mouth gun.

"That's not out of weakness, just because I don't want to be suspended, and if the league allows me to have a fight without responsibility, I promise you that the Huskies will be beaten to death by me at their home court."

O'Neal called KK a coward. For the former Head Lakers, he just called the Kings the Queens, just like he jokingly called the Kings the Queens, and directly called the Lakers the Women's Team.

This obviously sexist nickname will naturally arouse criticism from the Gender Association and increase the popularity of the series.

No one expected that the Western Conference finals would play such a topic, which was far beyond the league's pre-match expectations.

After only three games, they have made countless news. Unless they fight on the court, they really cannot imagine what will happen next than the story that has already happened.

The situation in the Western Conference is so fierce that fans' expectations for the third game of the Eastern Conference Finals have also increased.

Before that, the league first announced the ownership of major awards this season.

Momonchen, Kobe, James, Duncan and, unexpectedly but not so surprisingly, Eddie Curry, were selected for the first time of the year.

Curry's selection caused a shock.

"Why?"

With Curry averaging 221,142.5 per game this season, his competitors are O'Neal, Yao and Ben Wallace.

Big Ben averaged 10113 per game, and the Cavaliers' record obviously has no competition.

Due to his age and injuries, O'Neal has only played 67 games this season, averaging 21 points, 9 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.8 blocks per game. His data and attendance are no match for Curry.

As for Yao Yun, the average blocking data of 2082 per game was also under pressure by Curry.

This is an era of giants falling. Curry happened to have a strong data in this era, and the team ranked second in the league. Therefore, he was selected for the year with Mo Mengchen, which can be said to be unexpected or not, because they all rely on their peers to set off.

As for the others, it's gone.

In addition to being selected for the first time of the year, Mo Mengchen was also selected for the first defense of the year.

All major awards have been announced, except for the regular season MVP.

There are four people competing for this award: James, Momontchen, Bend and Kobe.

Bend basically withdrew from the discussion due to his defeat in the semi-finals, while the other three were fighting fiercely. The performance in the district finals is very likely to determine the ownership of MVP.

Against this backdrop, the Eastern Conference Finals Game3 started.

Tonight, the Argentine Demon Sword, which always silently contributes, performed well.

His performance at the beginning and end of the game made him the most critical player.

His most important contribution was to hit three-pointers in the early stages of the game, thus opening up the defensive formation of the 76ers.

On the defensive end, the 76ers did not dare to block Mo Mengchen and Anthony with all their strength, but hesitated when controlling the breakthrough line, giving them room to display.

When the Sixers adjusted their defense and focused on the Pistons' outside line, the ball returned to Ginobili's hands. He failed to hit the last few key shots, but he played a key role in his unobtrusive way.

He defended Iverson in close combat and had smooth communication with Mo Mengchen when changing the pick-and-roll, making it difficult for the 76ers to get the opportunity to make three-pointers in the open position.

When a fourth person like Ginobili began to perform wonderfully, it was normal for the 76ers to lose sight of each other.

They can mobilize personnel to surround key players, but they cannot defend five players at once.

The advantage of lineup depth helps the Pistons to establish the victory.

Three minutes before the final game, the game entered garbage time.

As usual, the Pistons beat their opponents steadily and led by 2-1 in a big score.

Mo Mengchen scored 32 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists in the whole game, which was an easy victory, and his outstanding leadership will give him extra points in the MVP battle.

The obstacles that prevent him from crowning MVP may not be the opponent, but the aesthetic fatigue of the public and the voters.

After all, he had a three-game MVP in the dominant class.

In those four years, the Pistons' dominant performance made him the MVP choice.

Being elected to MVP for four consecutive years will naturally cause aesthetic fatigue. The public hopes to change their appearance. For example, last season, the person who was crowned MVP was General Arenas.

At the press conference that night, the controversy over MVP was inevitable.

"To be honest, I don't value MVP because I've been elected four times." Mo Mengchen said in a relaxed tone, "No matter how good it is, when you experience it four times, it's no longer so important."

"What about the champion? Is the champion not important?" There is no shortage of leverage anywhere.

"The championship is different," Mo Mengchen said. "Enrolling MVP cannot make me the ultimate winner, it only means that I did a good job in the regular season, but we usually don't use the regular season results to measure whether the player is great, otherwise Wilt Chamberlain is the best player in history."

As soon as Mo Mengchen finished speaking, the media laughed out loud.

He never gives people a message, even if he wants to offend people, he will offend people dead, and he is a dead person active half a century ago.

“And the champion defines greatness.”

Mo Mengchen looked at the reporter who asked the question.

"It's not easy for us to get to where we are today. Pistons are below self-select, and everyone's goals are the same. As for MVP, I really don't care."

He pretended to be a huge b in front of media around the world.

Don't care about mvp? Media people can almost imagine the reaction of Shark, Kobe, James and others to see this interview.

The press conference ended. Although the third game between the Pistons and the Sixers was not as popular as the Timberwolves and the Lakers, Mo Mengchen's words after the game were enough to secure a seat in the headlines for him.

The war was on fire and dust was flying. After three games in the East and West series, the outcome was still unknown.

The MVP battle has entered a white-hot stage.
