Chapter 160, Beat LA, the booing devil home!
May 8.
"We have won six consecutive games, we are very strong, we can definitely win the championship this year, and the Jazz are just our stepping stone,"
"The Jazz are not easy to play at home, so you can't be careless."
"Yes, their home court seems to be the devil's home court."
"I think Zhou Hang and Kobe will get them done."
"This year's week is so cool. I like his super long three-pointer, which is an epoch-making three-pointer."
"I hate Zhou. This guy also made the wild court shoot a very long three-pointer. The teammates I met in the past few days all threw very long three-pointers. It doesn't matter if you can make it. The key is that you can't make it."
"I also encountered it. I don't have Zhou's ability and insisted on showing off and wanting to hit someone."
In Los Angeles, a basketball-themed nightclub, many Lakers fans gathered to discuss the upcoming G3 game.
This is just a corner of Los Angeles.
On this night, countless domestic and foreign fans were on the TV to watch the third game between the Lakers and the Jazz.
Zhou Hang used three-pointers to set off a wave of the league, not only in the NBA, but also in the wild courts.
It is said that some NCAA players have also started to throw various ultra-long three-pointers like Zhou Hang.
The famous Davidson Academy recently Stephen Curry scored many such wonderful goals in previous games.
................
The G3 battle is the final battle that the Jazz believes.
If they lose this game again, it means there is no suspense in this series.
Since the Scotton-Marlong period, Utah Salt Lake City has cultivated a group of loyal fans.
This group of fans will not give up supporting the team when facing any difficulties.
The square outside the Energy Program Arena was occupied by crazy Jazz fans early on.
These Jazz fans pulled various banners and shouted unified slogans to cheer for the Jazz.
Both the posters of Zhou Hang and Kobe were madly humiliated by Jazz fans.
After the stadium was available, countless fans wearing white jerseys flocked to the Energy Solutions stadium.
When Zhou Hang's name was shouted at the appearance ceremony, Zhou Hang heard the biggest booing since the season.
"Fake, Zhou Hang!!"
"Boy, get back!"
"This is not your territory"
...
In the end, all kinds of abuse gathered into one sentence.
“Beat LA”
“Beat LA”
“Beat LA”
This slogan also represents the history of the Lakers.
In 1980, the NBA Philadelphia 76ers played against the Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals. The last game was about to end. At the Celtics' home court, the 76ers led the Celtics more than 20 points. If they win the game, they can directly enter the finals.
On the other hand, the Lakers in the West have won and entered the finals.
Seeing that there was no hope of winning and could not compete with their old opponents in the final showdown, the Celtics fans even shouted "BEAT LA!!" and handed over the hope of defeating the Lakers to their opponent Philadelphia.
After this game, this slogan, which was originally given to the Philadelphia 76ers, gradually became a slogan for Boston Celtics fans to cheer for their teams, and it was spread more and more widely. After the 1990s, many NBA teams entered the playoffs, and their opponents were the Lakers, and local fans would shout this slogan...
Compared with the Nuggets fans in the last round, Jazz fans are now even more crazy.
"This is their fear of us." Kobe patted Zhou Hang on the shoulder and said calmly.
Faced with the abuse and doubts of the whole audience, Kobe always understands the opposite direction, and he is very good at turning these doubts into motivation.
"Then get them done tonight." Zhou Hang said confidently.

After the entrance ceremony, Zhou Hang followed the Lakers players to listen to the Zen master explaining tactics.
Zen master still likes to attack with triangles.
Zhou Hang theoretically understands triangular offense, but it is always almost meaningful in practice. This is also what the Zen master occasionally thinks that Zhou Hang is not that perfect.
Barkley and Smith from TNT commentary station have been waiting for a long time.
Barkley said: "The Jazz have lost two away games in a row, and they have no way out in this game."
Smith said: "Yes, theoretically speaking, as long as the Lakers win tonight's game, there will be no suspense in the series between the two teams."
Barkley said: "The key figures on the Lakers tonight are still Zhou Hang and Kobe. The outside firepower of the two can continue the level of the previous two games. If they open at the same time, it will cause huge trouble for the Jazz."
Smith said: "The Jazz's side needs more people to stand up. Deron and Carlos are both in normal performance. They need to have a third point to defeat the Lakers and a fourth point. Of course, Sloan's deployment also needs to be readjusted to see if the Jazz can undergo fundamental changes."
Barkley said: "Zhou Hang is also the focus of our attention to this evening. Zhou Hang won 40+ in the first two games. This is incredible for a rookie."
Smith said: "Under the Lakers' system, Zhou Hang is not under great defensive pressure around Kobe and Gasol, which gives him a lot of room to play."
On the court, the coaches of both teams have set up tactics and the starter stays on the court.
Delon and Kobe are cheering up their teammates.
Lakers starters: Zhou Hang, Kobe, Walton, Gasol, Odom.
Jazz starters: Deron, Myers, Korver, Kirilenko, Boozer.
The Lakers' starting lineup has not changed, while the Jazz's starting lineup has changed a lot.
Sloan's adjustments to the 2nd and 3rd positions changed from main defense to main attack.
Sloan also understood that if he wanted to defend the Lakers, he could not defend himself. He could only fight with them on the offensive end, so that he could have a glimmer of hope.
Although it is possible to lose even worse when playing against each other, Sloan has no choice.
