Chapter 540 Preheating
The playoffs are the stage to test the quality of the stars, and only those who perform on this stage enough to be remembered by the world can be called superstars.

Win or go home games have an obvious impact on players' psychology, but superstars often play career masterpieces in this kind of games.

Xu Tian was interviewed by Ramona on the morning of G4 in the series, and through her recitation, he conveyed his determination to all fans.

Xu Tian: The Lakers' season will definitely not end tonight!

This news completely cheered up the depressed mood of Los Angeles fans.They are very clear that Xu Tian, ​​who has played invincibly throughout the season, never speaks empty words, so they have unlimited confidence in what Xu Tian conveyed to the fans.

Draymond Green saw the news reported by Ramona, and he didn't take it seriously. He didn't believe that the Lakers, who had no power to fight back the night before, would suddenly improve in strength.

Throughout the morning, various sports media turned the remarks of Lakers players and Warriors players into countless news, so that fans who follow this round of the series can learn more about this game.

Most of the Lakers players are expressing that the series will not end here, while the Warriors players express that they will end the series tonight.As for the final result, it still needs to be verified by the competition.

In the Eastern Conference Finals last night, James scored a triple-double with 35 points, 12 rebounds and 13 assists, led the team to defeat the Celtics, swept the opponent with a big score of 4-0, and became the champion of the Eastern Conference in the 2015-16 season .They will wait for the winner of the Western Conference finals to compete for the O'Brien Cup.

Both TNT and ESPN have made two preparations, one is the Warriors vs. Cavaliers finals promotional video, and the other is the Lakers vs. Cavaliers finals promotional video.Since the Western Conference Finals series may end at any time, both sets of promotional videos need to be prepared in advance.

The Lakers have regular practice at the Toyota Training Facility.

After Kobe sprained his ankle, he participated in the confrontational half-court offense and defense for the first time, preparing for the upcoming game.He knew that Xu Tian was a player with the same personality as him. Xu Tian said that if he could make the sixth game happen, it would definitely happen.

Xu Tian is only 20 years old, and his physical recovery speed is much faster than ordinary people. Finger contusions and ankle sprains have not affected much, so he can focus on training.

The entire Lakers team knew that Kobe would return to the game soon, and the overall training atmosphere was much better than yesterday, during which Nick Young and McGee even made a few jokes.This has never happened in the previous few days of training.

George found Xu Tian and expressed his idea of ​​training one-on-one with him.Xu Tian naturally did not refuse.

The two came to an empty half court. Xu Tian stood inside the three-point line and sent the ball to George.

Kobe has just resumed confrontation training, and he can't practice for too long. He walked over with great interest to watch Xu Tian and George's heads-up.This kind of heads-up within the team has not appeared for some time.

George changed direction in front of his body and was almost intercepted by Xu Tian. He quickly pulled back, switched to back-up mode, and played singles with the ball.

Xu Tianding's defensive ability is top-notch, and he has not retreated an inch, forcing George to take a difficult long-distance two-pointer.

clang!
Strike it!

Xu Tian stood at the top of the arc, waited for George to pass the ball to him, then bent over to dribble, looking for George's defensive flaws.

George showed the best defensive attitude, focusing on Xu Tian's every move, for fear of being suddenly passed by.

Because it was a one-on-one match, Xu Tian's extraordinary passing ability could not be used. He accelerated the dribble with his left hand, and forced George to retreat by going left.When George lost his center of gravity, he stopped suddenly and jumped in the middle distance!

Swish!
This goal was the start, and in the next ten attacks, Xu Tian didn't miss a single shot.

11-0!

Xu Tian took the basketball that fell to the floor and bounced back with a calm expression, then passed the ball to George, and spat trash talk: "You are really weak now."

George didn't expect Xu Tian to be so strong against a single defense. Although the loss was a bit ugly, he unconsciously had more confidence in tonight's game.What they have to do is very simple, score the open ball and let Xu Tian face a single defense. Then the balance of victory will naturally tilt towards the Lakers.

Kobe also didn't expect Xu Tian to be indifferent to the single defense. He was shocked by his strength and couldn't think of what to say for a while.He still remembers that just a few months ago, he could still play inextricably with this young player, but the changes now are truly earth-shaking.

McGee didn't have any pressure, focused on training, and hit consecutive hook shots.

Byron Scott mentored young players and shared his experience as a player with them.

Clarkson, Nance Jr., and Warren are all recruits who have just touched the playoffs. They are willing to accept various teachings and grow slowly invisibly.

They are all geniuses, otherwise they would not be able to enter the NBA, but compared with Xu Tian, ​​they belong to the more ordinary category.This is the gap in talent, and it is also an insurmountable gap.

On a whim, Magic Johnson wanted to give a speech after practice to inspire the players.It's a pity that he is not good at this, and he almost got the opposite effect, so he can only let it go.

After Magic Johnson left, Tyson Chandler brought his teammates together again and said a few words that could inspire people's hearts, which was considered to eliminate the negative impact that Magic Johnson almost brought.Then the players went home and waited for tonight's game.

Scott and Mark Madsen aren't as relaxed as the players.They received a death order from Magic Johnson and must lead the team to victory in the fourth game, otherwise they will dismiss get out of class.This is a job-related game. They all showed their best state to analyze the video and design tactics in order to help the team win.

Now that the Eastern Conference Finals has been decided, all the media and fans are focusing on the Western Conference Finals, so many media have sent reporters to Los Angeles to interview the Lakers and Warriors players at the Staples Center.

The fans of Los Angeles experienced the blow of the team's 0-3 lag, and saw the continuous news similar to the booster. Under the ups and downs of their mentality, they had abnormal expectations for this game again.They didn't want the series to end, so they prepared ahead of time and wanted to give all their enthusiasm to the team.

Xu Tian hugged Alice before going out, telling her not to worry, and promised to win the game for the city.He never promises lightly, and once he has made it, he will find a way to do it.

Both ESPN and TNT invited experts to analyze the game before the game.

Stephen A. Smith made a speech, thinking that the Warriors will take advantage of the power of three victories to take advantage of the situation to win tonight's game and become the final Western Conference champion.

McGrady disagreed with Smith's point of view. He believed that since Kobe had been allowed to return in the sixth game, there was a high probability that he could see the sixth game of the series.
