From today on is the king

Chapter 1464 1463. Refuse to sweep!

Last Stand?
burn one's boats?

These are not enough to describe the current situation and mentality of the Eagles.

A more vivid word to describe it, that is - the battle of trapped beasts!
It's such a tragic state of mind.

The Lakers have always felt the fighting spirit of the Eagles before. It is impossible to have no fighting spirit to enter the finals, so the Lakers have been seeking stability in the first three games.

But this time... the Lakers players were shocked by the desperate aura of the Eagles!
After the start of the game, Kwame Brown took the lead in attacking. He first helped the Eagles win the jump ball, and then when Liu Mang failed to make a trial shot at the beginning, he desperately tried to force the ball inside, rushing Yao Ming and Barnes to smash the ball into the basket.

Kwame Brown fell to the floor after making the dunk.

This was not intentional by Yao Ming and Barnes, but Kwame Brown himself made a dangerous move. Neither of them fouled, but the referee still gave Barnes a foul.

Liu Mang hurried to help Kwame Brown up, let the system check it, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Kwame Brown was grinning in pain, it was just a flawed injury, and his butt hurt from falling.

From Kwame Brown's tip-off, to falling heavily on the floor, to Liu Mang helping Kwame Brown up, Kwame Brown walked to the free throw line... The emotions of the fans at the scene ranged from shock to worry...

Seeing Kwame Brown twist his ass and walk to the free throw line to add a penalty, the fans applauded.

Already 0 to 3 behind, the fans did not get angry and complained about the poor performance in this year's finals. The media analyzed that several of the Hawks' main players have been in poor physical condition this year. The 122 kg big center Kwame Brown is one, and the sixth man is Jason Terry. McGrady has no fighting spirit. Of course, his physical fitness is not very good in the regular season.

Under such circumstances, they can still watch their own team play in the finals. The fans are already very satisfied.

Now they just want their players not to get hurt, and cheer for their fighting spirit!
Kwame Brown was half-dead in the first three games, except that Yao Ming restrained him, making him invisible on the offensive end like Howard, who was invisible when he met Yao Ming. In addition, he confronted the Bulls inside in the second round.

But today...

Liu Mang received the highest physical fitness bonus, not himself, but Kwame Brown, a high school student with the top pick in physical fitness!

How can a high school student be the No. [-] pick with an additional penalty? Kwame Brown added an iron penalty as expected.

But back to the defensive end, when Gasol fell into low singles like the previous three games, Kwame Brown gave Gasol a big cap!
Kwame Brown, who fell to the ground, yelled at Gasol even when he fell.

"This guy didn't take the wrong medicine, did he?"

Seeing Kwame Brown yelling on the ground because of an awkward posture to block the shot, Gasol's head was full of question marks.

Gasol's low-post singles encountered Kwame Brown's crazy confrontation. Gasol used the confrontation to turn and throw. Kwame Brown twisted his body and slapped the ball down when he was out of position.

Liu Mang immediately let go of Fisher and took him in. Originally, he planned to help defend Gasol. If Gasol passed to Fisher and made an open shot, he would have nothing to do. Of course, Liu Mang tried his best to judge whether Gasol had a chance to pass the ball, but he did not expect that Kwame Brown's cap came down!Liu Mang went in just in time to grab the ball.

Kwame Brown hardened up, making Gasol feel bad.

When Zen master has cards in his hand, his basketball IQ surpasses the sky, and he accurately judges Kwame Brown's physical strength. In the first three games, Kwame Brown rarely pressed on Gasol when he turned around and retreated.

Kwame Brown used to defend Gasol quite well. Normally, the Lakers would use Yao Ming to fight Kwame Brown. However, the Zen master judged that Kwame Brown might not be able to defend Gasol after spending a lot of money in the first two rounds.

But today...

Kwame Brown's physical improvement made Gasol feel what it means to be tough!
Kwame Brown is not a smart guy, but he learned the truth of "listen to the boss" in the Hawks.

"Kwame, you have to be a man when defending Paul. Anyway, it's the last game. You don't have to worry about fouls. You can learn from Garnett, yell at him, and scare him to death."

That's what Liu Mang told Kwame Brown when he was warming up in the afternoon, but he didn't expect Kwame Brown to fight like desperate!

Just like the analysis of the media and fans after the second and third games, if the Eagles have a third person to stand up, although the Eagles may not be stronger than the Lakers, at least they will not be so passive.

In the first three games, the Eagles led the score only 9 times, and the leading time was only 11 minutes...

But in this game, the first quarter broke!

28 to 24, the Eagles led by 4 points in the first quarter and entered the intermission!
From the beginning of the game, Kwame Brown dunked and scored two points. After Kwame Brown blocked the shot, Liu Mang received a pass from McGrady from mid-range and hit a 4-0 lead. The Eagles' 4-point lead continued!

In fact, Kwame Brown really wanted to defend Gasol... the first round was considered the best defense, and Gasol later pulled out to a higher position. Although the Lakers played from the outside, they were not as lethal as when they played from the inside, but they still played well. 24 points in a single quarter, not too bad.

The key is that the Eagles fought hard today!
Shooting and hitting the iron all rushed to grab offensive rebounds like desperately.

Needless to say, Liu Mang's performance, except that he tried to play team basketball in the first game and found that his teammates were not in good condition, and generally only scored 27 points. In the second and third games, Liu Mang's performance was the best in the game. After 35 points, he scored 47 points.

Liu Mang's style of play has been firm since the second game, that is, to do it by himself, just hold the ball and do it.

And McGrady is the most comprehensive player around Liu Mang, and his abilities are the closest to the top. Whatever Liu Mang wants, McGrady can do it.

刘莽首节9分2板1助攻，麦迪5分3助攻，除了这两个得分超过5分的球员，老鹰队还有第三个！

Kwame Brown had 7 points, 5 rebounds, 1 block and 1 steal in the first quarter!

For the first time in four games, Kwame Brown has the upper hand inside the Lakers!
And... an additional penalty was scored!
4投3中，两次补扣两次都打成了2+1，第二次2+1还罚进了。

The Eagles continued the defensive efficiency of the previous game. The Lakers originally made adjustments after being defended and did not score more than [-] points in the previous game. However, they did not expect Gasol, the core of their team's tactics, to be confused by Kwame Brown!
Looking at the data, 4 of 2 shots, 5 points, Gasol's shooting is not bad, but anyone who watched the game knows that when he met Kwame Brown, who was mad today and occasionally savaged, Gasol's performance was the same as his expression... the doormat looked too miserable.

After 3 to 0, the Lakers played the fourth game with a proud and relaxed attitude. They felt that the Eagles should disarm and surrender, just like the Nets in 2002.

Of course, the Lakers also seriously want to end the finals quickly, and they can't wait to take away the championship trophy.

but……

No matter what, the Eagles, who were half dead after the third game and refused all interviews in the past two days with a mentality explosion and wanted to escape, would still work so hard in the fourth game, which was already on the verge of elimination!

Kwame Brown's explosion on the defensive end and rebounding end drove the bloodiness that the Eagles had been holding back for 72 hours!
The point is to continue the defense of the previous game.

On the offensive end, Liu Mang is still scoring points, McGrady is trying his best to use the threat he played before to help his teammates, but today the Eagles have the third scorer!

全场比赛打完，刘莽拿到51分4板2抢断2盖帽，麦迪拿到18分11助攻，夸梅-布朗拿到15分20板4盖帽！

For the Lakers, Gasol's stats of 12 points, 6 rebounds, and 13 assists on 8-of-3 shooting seem pretty good, but everyone who watched the game knows that Gasol was blasted by Kwame Brown today, and Gasol didn't dare to go inside. Just like in the 2008 finals in the original time and space, he had to use Yao Ming to go inside from the second quarter.

Today, Kwame Brown was really irritable. Although Yao Ming scored 10 points with a 7-of-19 shooting percentage, he blocked Yao Ming from the front and caused Yao Ming to consume a lot in singles.

The Lakers were not prepared for the Hawks to explode like this. Zen Master has played in the 12th Finals and won 9 championships. He has never faced an opponent with a 3-0 lead. The opponent actually worked harder in the fourth game than the first three games... and had more physical strength!
It's like a group of crazy savages!
Although Kobe tried to take over the game in the fourth quarter, he also scored 9 points in a single quarter on 5 of 14 shots in the fourth quarter. He personally scored 41 points in the game, but the Lakers could not hold back and only scored 20 points in the fourth quarter.

Relying on Liu Mang's performance of 37 of 19 shots, 10 of 3 three-pointers, and 51 points, McGrady's double-double and the key 15+20+4 Kwame Brown, the Eagles beat the Lakers 113-99 at home by 14 points, avoiding being swept away!
The Lakers really did not expect the Eagles to play such a performance. The fans also did not have extravagant expectations. They expected their team to win, yes, but thinking that Liu Mang had 47 points in the last game and did not win...

But no matter what, Liu Mang threw 37 throws and scored 51 points today!
The main reason is that Kwame Brown scored 9 offensive rebounds in a single game, which gave Liu Mang a huge help!

After the fourth game, the Eagles fans seemed to be more excited than last year's three consecutive championships.

Facing the insiders of the Lakers, Kwame Brown scored 15+20+4, beating Liu Mang to become the MVP of the game!
