Chapter 1823 James’ Inner Demons Are More Serious than Imagined
Wade's words finally made the Heat fans, who had been shattered for almost the whole game, feel a little calmer. After the game ended for a while, they were finally able to think calmly.
There was no way, the hype for this game before the game was really great, all media came together, whether it was a major newspaper or a tabloid, even the famous British gossip newspaper The Sun, which is a traditional media that focuses on gossip, did not air it. I took this opportunity to conduct a detailed analysis of this game before the game, especially the confrontation and relationship between Ji Feng, Kobe and James.
You must know that the media in the British Empire have always had a high self-esteem and generally do not cover basketball. Even football they generally do not report well. Compared with the performance on the field, the gossip of the players off the field is more related to their Generally speaking, if you want to know which bar your opponent's star went to during the offseason or days off, or which girl he dated, you'll be right.
So even media like The Sun began to seriously analyze this game, and you will know how much attention this game has.
Therefore, James fans have been holding back their energy, thinking that this game can defeat the Lakers and Ji Feng, thereby changing James' passive situation in the outside world for such a long time.
In a word, James has been suppressed so miserably these years. From 2007 to now, James has basically never had a good year, and his status has also plummeted. At the beginning, Ji Feng was still a pursuer, but in the end, he has not been able to do so for two years. By then, Ji Feng had become the leader and the 'goat' in people's mouth.
This makes Zhan Mi, who has always been proud and arrogant, how can he stand it? Now he is finally proud and proud. Regardless of whether this opportunity for the finals was obtained through teamwork, anyway, he finally has the opportunity for the finals, and he is still dreaming of meeting him. The Lakers and Ji Feng, so their hopes for this game are really too high.
However, you also know the result. A beating that is destined to be recorded in history made James fans feel like they were going to vomit blood.
But when they heard what Wade said, they finally calmed down. Yes, Wade was right. Although James was very stretched this time, this was only the first game. The finals was 7 games and 4 games. If you win, losing a game is nothing. Besides, this is the Lakers' home court. Thinking about it this way, losing is not so difficult to accept!
And James' performance can also be found from an angle. In the last round against the Bulls, James was so excited before the game that he was watching videos in the middle of the night and suffered from insomnia. He even sleepwalked on the court and scored 15 points in the first game. After all, it was 16 points, 1 point more than that game, and James was so excited that he couldn't sleep again!
So Zhan Mi left a classic quote from Big Big Wolf on major online forums: "Just wait! We will be back!"
The style of the painting changed from a hot-blooded comic to a children's animation in an instant. The style of the painting turned so fast that it was like a tornado. For a time, others thought that James was crazy because his brain was stimulated. You thought that if you came back, this game would not count, right? Well, and who gave you the confidence that you can come back in the second game? Is it Luol Deng of the Bulls...
So most neutral fans sneered at this, let alone Lakers fans. Of course, they had no time to continue arguing with James, because Lakers players also stood up to cool down the game.
Zen Master: "We played well in this game and our tactics were very appropriate, which allowed us to get the start we wanted. You know, in any series, a 1-0 start always makes people more comfortable, but this It’s just the first game, we still have at least three games to play, so it’s not the time to be proud yet.”
Ji Feng: "Oh, my performance is not bad. I can score 80 points in this game. What's important is that the team can win, but this is only the first game. I hope every game ends like this. As for James, he played well."
Kobe: "James? I actually don't care how he performs. This is a team competition, not a competition between the two of us. It's enough for the team to win. There is no such thing as a team losing on a basketball court." No one loses in this matter.”
Farmar: "The boss said we can't celebrate, but he also said that after winning the championship, the celebration will be all-inclusive for three days, so don't ask me about James, think about where I can go to be more stylish if we win the championship."
…
Everyone on the Lakers came out to cool off this big win. They didn't want this game to occupy too much attention. After all, their goal was to win the championship. What Wade said made sense. It was just one game, and the next game would be even more important. Important, and due to the format of the finals, the home court advantage has been weakened to the lowest point. The 232 format means that the side with the home advantage must not be careless. History has proven countless times that carelessness will be in vain, so the Lakers’ top priority is to win second place. game, the Heat must not be allowed to return to their home court with 1-1.
Of course, this is on the surface. In the locker room, Ji Feng said mercilessly: "James has a mental problem. This is when he is at his weakest. We must kill him mercilessly!"
The aggressive look was completely different from the look when he was praising James in an interview just now. This is the playoffs. How could Ji Feng openly say that his opponent is not good? Poisonous milk is the way to go.
"But we can't underestimate LeBron, he is a guy with strong adjustment ability." Kobe said from the sidelines.
Others also nodded frequently in agreement. James is still very capable and has good adjustment ability. He rarely pulls his hips for two consecutive games. After playing abnormally in a certain game, he often breaks out in the second game. This is also Superstars are standard equipment, so in the minds of the Lakers players, the next game will be even more difficult.
Ji Feng is the only one who doesn't think so. James's ability to withstand pressure is really good. He still performed at his own level despite his reputation this season. After the Bulls won the first game, Ji Feng felt that the Heat were going to die. However, I didn't expect that Janeway's explosion would follow. A wave of four consecutive victories eliminated the Bulls and advanced to the finals.
However, Ji Feng has always believed that compared with previous seasons, James' performance this season has degraded, which can also be seen from the data. This season, James's performance in terms of points, assists and rebounds is not as good as his performance in the Cavaliers. In the last two seasons, although the gap was minimal, it was already a serious step back for James, who has improved almost every season.
The contrast in the playoffs is even more obvious. Although James still has his shining moments, compared with the previous two seasons, especially the omnipotent and all-encompassing style in 2009, the difference is really not even a little bit worse.
He seemed to be caught up in an inner demon that completely exploded in the finals.
Of course, Ji Feng didn't believe that James would stretch his hips even more, but it turned out that James' inner demons were more serious than anyone imagined!
