Dominate the basketball world, starting from the skyhook skill

Chapter 295 The future has begun

In the first five games of G16 of the 6 Western Conference Finals, the Thunder led by the Wang Zhibo combination with a big score of 3:2. For the Warriors of the Splash Brothers, this was a win-or-go-home game.

If they lose, the defending champion, which has set a record of 73 wins in the regular season, will miss the finals that year.

At the critical moment, Thompson's Buddha's light shone brightly and he played the masterpiece of his career.

11 three-pointers led the team to pass.

After the game, Warriors owner Lacob kneeled down to Thompson in the tunnel.

This became a classic scene in NBA history.

And today, Aunt Jenny imitated Lacob and worshiped Kevin Li in the arena tunnel, and it still became the cover image of major media the next day!

Everything seems to be going smoothly, and the Lakers are full of confidence.

Kevin Li has also received praise from everyone, and the business appointment notifications that followed have filled up Kevin Li's summer schedule.

But team manager Pelinka knows it's not time to really celebrate yet.

Li Kaiwen is still a long way from achieving the true final victory and reaching the top of the basketball world.

Four days after the Lakers won in G6, the Lakers lost the tiebreaker at Denver Plateau.

从0比3落后再到3比3看到了胜利的曙光，但这群小伙子们还是没能敌过客观规律，成了NBA历史上第152只在0比3落后状态下被淘汰出局的球队。

Nikola Jokic, the current ruler of the NBA world, destroyed the Lakers with 40 points, 15 rebounds, 11 assists, 4 steals and 4 blocks in the tiebreaker.

Destroyed the Lakers' No. 7 pick, whom he hated so much.

And after James, Anthony Davis is determined to be the boss of the Lakers.

李凯文这场比赛的表现其实也不差，拿到了27分13助攻6篮板3抢断1盖帽的数据。

In an environment that is suffocating every minute and every second like the Game [-], and with the absolute disadvantages of an away game in Denver, he can still get such a top point guard's data, which makes the most picky basketball player Commentators can't say enough about him.

Don't forget, he is just a rookie, and this year is just his first time playing in the NBA playoffs.

The game was brutal and bloody. Both sides played to the highest level so far and played the most exciting game in this year's playoffs.

Not only the main players of the two teams, but also the role players of both sides still fought hard and fought with blood and flesh. Although the Lakers lost in the end, the decisive temperament they showed still made the Denver home fans in awe.

In the last 20 seconds of the fourth quarter, the two teams were tied and the Nuggets had the ball.

This time, Jokic did not give the ball to Murray again. He was supporting him from the high post for a long time, but when no one expected, he hit a three-pointer with a step back in front of the thick eyebrows who were being marked personally!

At that time, the thick eyebrows had already reacted very quickly, and a pair of big hands almost hit Jokic's face.
I can't tell whether it was luck, strength, or both, but this unreasonable three-pointer just went in!

Not only did he score, he also gave the Lakers less than 8 seconds of attack time.

In this hammer transaction, Hamm initially arranged a tactic for Dun Luo to shoot the perfect three-pointer.

The Nuggets also seemed to have guessed the Lakers' arrangement. After serving, Pope, who was guarding Dun Luo, wanted to stick to him. Porter also left Hachimura behind to help defend.

The ball couldn't be passed, so Li Kaiwen could only force a three-pointer.

Although before the start of G7, Li Kaiwen added all 5 attribute points obtained from the recent upgrade to three-pointers. His three-point attributes currently have 75 points, which is already a passing number.But this three-pointer... still missed the frame.

Li Kaiwen's myth came to an abrupt end, and he couldn't focus on it to the end!
What Nuggets coach Mike Malone said in a courtside interview after the series ended actually explained the biggest reason why they could win:
"When Kevin Lee and Anthony Davis were out, we had more answers than the Lakers."

"And in this era, their outside firepower is not up to the standards of the finals."

What he didn't expect was that this last sentence would cost the Lakers countless more Mane in the following offseason!
But what he said was indeed correct.

The Lakers' lineup has its limit right here.

In this era, teams like the Suns and the Celtics often have three or four All-Stars.

A two-star combination like Kevin Lee and Anthony Davis, one inside and one outside, would only be at the level of Malone and Stockton at their peak, right?
Even Malone and Stockton can't win the championship, so the Lakers' defeat this season seems normal.

When playing against the Nuggets, Ham wanted to split Li Kaiwen and Big Eyebrow into two.

In the tiebreaker at the critical moment, Li Kaiwen played the entire game, and the glass man with thick eyebrows played for nearly 42 minutes.

It is foreseeable that in the future in the West, the Lakers' biggest sufferer will be the Nuggets.

What configuration do the Nuggets have?Their lineup is more luxurious, their bench is thicker, and they have also attracted many veterans with playoff experience to compete for the championship with a minimum salary.

In comparison, the Lakers' staffing seems stretched thin.

While coach Malone was being interviewed, Li Kaiwen and his teammates who also tried their best left the arena.

At the entrance to the arena, Pelinka was already waiting for him.

He knows what the team's problems are, and he has the full support of Jeanie Buss.

This season, the Lakers will become gluttons in the free market. As long as they can find helpers for Li Kaiwen, there is no need to worry about money, as long as they have enough!

Isn’t it just paying luxury tax?The Lakers are not afraid of this!
So, seeing Kevin Li walking over with his head lowered, Pelinka went up and patted him on the shoulder:

“Kevin Li, don’t lose heart.”

"Your era has just begun."

Rich Paul, who was also waiting aside, nodded. He knew Pelinka's plan.

Of course, Jokic, who successfully advanced, will not be so polite to Kevin Li.

As a famous master of yin and yang, he said in an interview after the game:

"Kevin Li cannot pull us off our throne now. I admit that he is an excellent player, but it is a bit early for him to consider the championship."

"Hahaha, I'm sorry, I'm not very good at blowing him. I'll do it next time."

But those few disdainful smiles were already full of insults.

Of course, Kevin Li knew what Jokic said. He knew that Jokic didn't like the Lakers. The reason was probably not because of him.

But because of the old man No. 23 with a bald head last year!
