"Zhao, I think you need to trust your teammates more. They had many opportunities, but you didn't pass the ball."
After the loss, the Lakers locker room door was closed, and Kobe initiated an internal player meeting.
All Lakers players are included, and the coaching staff is directly excluded.
Zhao Chen was the first person to be criticized by Kobe at the meeting.
Kobe never imagined that one day he would persuade others to pass the ball.
Zhao Chen didn't defend himself.
Zhao Chen's personal performance was outstanding, scoring 69 points, but he failed to drive his teammates tonight.
As a team leader, as long as he loses, he will bear the greatest responsibility!
This is something Zhao Chen will not escape from.
Zhao Chen nodded and said: "Kobe, I accept your opinion. Starting from the next game, I will organize more attacks."
Kobe nodded and continued: "Except Zhao, all of us need to reflect. We did not show our hard work and blood on the court. We relied too much on Zhao. We always thought that Zhao would take care of everything, but it turns out that he also Need our help, our offense was like shit tonight and our defense was worse than shit!”
"How many open shots were missed? These are practice-type opportunities."
"And defense, they score so easily. They can cut inside for layups and score easily, and they can hit three-pointers effortlessly from the outside again and again."
"Our defense was useless and we let the Staples fans down."
"Look at those retired jerseys on the field. You should be lucky that you are not in the same era as them, otherwise you would not even be able to find a job."
"We are a new team, and many of us here have not won a championship trophy. So, why do you think you can win without working hard."
The Lakers rookies all looked ashamed.
Kobe rarely gave such a long speech, but he was by no means incapable of speaking. ,
Kobe is also a master of chicken soup.
"I'll be back in the next game!" Jokic shouted excitedly.
Jokic's injury is not too serious, mainly pain.
Jokic is also afraid of pain...
Now Jokic feels the pain needs to be endured.
"I will risk my life!"
“Give them a good look in the next game.”
Randall, Dinwiddie and others shouted with red eyes.
The rookies were all impassioned.
It has to be said that Kobe is better than Zhao Chen in inspiring morale.
Zhao Chen also came out and said: "The game has not reached the point of no return. In the next game, we must truly work together to have a chance to defeat them."
Zhao Chen also has to admit that the Warriors in the playoffs are the strongest opponents he has faced so far in his career.
It's hard for him to handle the game alone.
Last year's Warriors were not as strong as this year, and Zhao Chen also had two helpers in Westbrook and Durant.
Those two guys are not comparable to the current Lakers.
This year, the Lakers have no other superstar.
Super giant!
correct!
Looking at Kobe who was still impassioned, Zhao Chen thought of another of his skills!
[Veteran’s Youth]: A pass that can be given to a veteran with more than 6 years of NBA career can help him return to the top, timely in a single quarter!
How awesome will Kobe's peak quarter be?
Zhao Chen felt that it should not be worse than his peak single quarter!
but
It’s still a matter of physical fitness!
What restricts Zhao Chen's use of skills is still physical fitness.
This skill consumes physical energy.
The reason why Zhao Chen rarely thinks of this skill is because he doesn't need Kobe's burst to win in the early stage. He can just push horizontally with a primary or intermediate hot touch.
But G3 still couldn't hold up after using the intermediate level, so Zhao Chen had to consider more exploring his skill potential.
Now that Zhao Chen also has physical potions as a base, Zhao Chen can consider allowing Kobe to return to his peak in certain quarters.
Or you can save some money on some items and squeeze them out for Kobe to use.
Kobe's peak and his own state should be staggered as much as possible, otherwise one ball may not be enough to score points.
The players' meeting went very successfully, and the entire Lakers team adjusted their mentality and attitude.
It was impossible not to adjust their mentality, and the Lakers fell into a 1-2 deficit in the Western Conference Finals.
This is the biggest crisis the Lakers have encountered this season.
The overall situation is very passive.
The players were busy in meetings, and the coaches were not idle either. They were watching video analysis and formulating plans overnight. The Lakers must defend G4 at home. If the Lakers lose again in G4, the Warriors are likely to take the game away in G5 in one go.
............
The night G3 ended.
The balance of victory and defeat once again tipped in favor of the Warriors.
"The Lakers are in a moment of crisis!"
"It doesn't help that Zhao Chen scored 69 points. There is no one else from the Lakers to help him."
"With Jokic absent, the Lakers are completely defeated!"
"Zhao Chen's helplessness, Scott's helplessness."
"Kerr taught Scott what the best coach is."
"The Lakers have never had a second point to help Zhao Chen. If there is one more All-Star, everything will be completely different."
"Have the Lakers used all their cards?"
"The Warriors already have all the conditions for a championship team, and the time is ripe for them to win the championship."
"Can Zhao Chen still create miracles?"
Zhao Chen was in great shape in the G3 game, but the Lakers were still defeated.
This is partly because the Lakers are out of shape as a whole, but also partly because there is a gap between the Lakers' overall strength and the Warriors.
After watching G3, no matter how confident the Lakers fans are, they will feel very anxious.
The fans can't wait to see Zhao Chen stand up again to help the team complete the reversal!
Zhao Chen is the Lakers' only hope.
50+ is not enough, and neither is 60+, so why not come to 70+, 80+, or 90+!
It's definitely enough!
.............
The day after losing G3, Zhao Chen did not go to the training hall in the morning, but chose to rest at home.
For Zhao Chen, rest is more important than training. He needs to fully recover his physical fitness.
In the afternoon, Zhao Chen drove to the office.
The coaching staff team held a tactical meeting.
The Lakers' Game 3 exposed too many problems and they need to be adjusted immediately.
Otherwise, this series will be very dangerous.
Not only the coaches participated in the tactical meeting, but Magic Johnson and Mitch Kupchak also participated.
It's just that these two people didn't interfere in the tactical arrangements. They just came to encourage everyone.
.........
On the other hand, Lakers fans are also doing their best to disturb the Warriors players.
It is said that some Lakers fans played sad music in front of the hotel where Warriors players stayed at night!
Security doesn't care...
This didn't give the Warriors players a good rest.
Green tweeted at four o'clock in the night: "Poor guys, we will knock your team to the ground! Fuck, use some dirty methods, labor and management will lose sleep!"
Warriors officials also quickly reported it to the league.
The league ordered the Lakers to restrain fans.
The Lakers said they were helpless. This was the freedom of the fans and was not organized by them.
I had no choice but to be fined.
The two sides started a new round of war of words surrounding various off-field incidents!
G4’s pre-game reporter interview.
Green, Iguodala, and even Thompson complained to the media about the behavior of Lakers fans in an unhappy mood.
They believe that Lakers fans will do anything to win.
The Warriors players expressed strong confidence in their complaints!
They are confident that they will continue to win!
Lakers fans are making such a fuss because they are afraid!
