Compared to Miami, where Wade was about to suffocate next door...

The Bay Area, where the average temperature in June is around 20 degrees Celsius, may not be "heaven on earth," but it's at least a pleasant climate.

However, on the evening of the 4th...

The moment the Lakers stepped into the Oracle Arena, they couldn't help but smile wryly.

Before this Western Conference Finals, Su Feng had predicted that because neither the Lakers nor the Warriors wanted to be taken advantage of by the Eastern Conference team next door after defeating each other, the Warriors' home court air conditioning would only fail at the moment of life and death.

And it was obvious that...

For the Warriors, who were already trailing 2-3 in this series...

This night was the moment of life and death that would determine their fate.

"Do you still dare to say, as confidently as before, that you can play in this environment like you did in the first five games?" On the court, while warming up, Kobe looked at Su Feng while sticking out his tongue to dissipate heat.

"If I said that this is exactly the kind of game environment I've been longing for, would you think I'm being pretentious?" Su Feng looked back at Kobe and asked with a calm expression.

Admittedly, playing in this "hell on earth" would be even more disadvantageous for the Lakers, who were already exhausted after the first five games...

But as Su Feng had told Kobe at the end of Game 5.

His physical condition this year was much better than last year.

However...

Perhaps because he had fooled Kobe too many times, Kobe lacked trust in what he said, so, looking at Kobe's "really? I don't believe it" expression, Su Feng paused and continued, "There won't be a Game 7 in this series.

Don't ask me why.

Because even if Jesus comes, he can't change the fact that we will become Western Conference champions tonight!"

Kobe: "..."

Wait...

Su...

Are you really that arrogant? Does your family know? (Britney: Sorry, he's never been this pretentious in front of me.)

...

Due to equipment failure, on the evening of the 4th, before the game started, the Warriors' home DJ had no choice but to announce to the fans that only half of the air conditioning in the Oracle Arena was working properly.

Fortunately, before the game, even the Lakers' cafeteria aunt knew that the Warriors' home court air conditioning couldn't be trusted.

Therefore, on the bench, the Lakers' coaching staff and substitute players had already taken out their prepared small fans.

Although in this abnormally hot indoor environment, the small fans were also blowing hot air...

But compared to being ambushed by your opponent without any preparation...

From these details, it wasn't hard to see that...

The Lakers were indeed the most experienced team in the league in the playoffs.

"Use the ice sparingly! You don't think that after we use up all the ice we prepared, the Warriors will generously provide us with more, right?" On the Lakers' bench, looking at the Lakers players who would come to him from time to time to ask for a bag of ice to cool down, the Lakers' first assistant coach Walton didn't forget to remind them.

On the court, as the big screen showed the starting lineups for the Lakers and Warriors tonight...

The ten starters from both teams also stepped onto this "hell on earth" one after another.

Lakers: Little Jordan, Su Feng, Green, Kobe, Billups.

Warriors: Chandler, Artest, James, Klay, Curry.

Because playing in this extreme environment, how to conserve energy would become the priority.

So, Lu, who was becoming increasingly skilled at providing Su Feng with a good offensive environment, didn't arrange for Su Feng to play as the team's starting center tonight, as he had in the previous three games.

In the center of the court, in the tip-off, Chandler, who had been feeling "how lonely it is to be invincible" since Game 3, finally met his match tonight.

Pa—!

On the court, Little Jordan stretched out his long arm and won the opening tip for the Lakers.

After dribbling the ball past half-court, Billups, who was arranged by Coach Lu to start tonight, wasn't in a hurry to launch an attack, but patiently controlled the ball at the high post.

Playing in this "hell on earth," too fast a pace would only accelerate the players' energy consumption.

Therefore, the Lakers' arrangement of Billups as a starter tonight was also a very targeted arrangement.

However...

Just as Coach Billups was patiently observing the situation on the court, the Warriors' opening matchup almost made Coach Lu suspect that there was a spy in the Lakers' coaching staff.

On the left wing, Kobe, who was already sweating profusely even before playing much, couldn't execute the planned isolation play.

Because the player guarding him tonight...

Was actually...

LeBron James!

"Although I don't want to admit it.

But I have to praise you...

Tyronn, you are indeed the coach in this league who has understood the isolation tactic most thoroughly." On the Warriors' bench, after glancing at Coach Lu, Van Gundy said with a reluctant expression.

At this moment, it was obvious that...

After the first five games, Van Gundy had already realized that.

That was, rather than besieging Su Feng.

Limiting Kobe's performance and reducing the support that the Lakers' other players provided to Su Feng was the best strategy for the Warriors in this series.

After all, no matter how good Kobe's condition had been before, his physical functions couldn't compare to his peak at this moment.

And what's more, in tonight's game environment, which was already unfriendly to older players?

Oracle Arena.

The Lakers' first possession, because the Warriors' defense was stretched out extremely wide and they were pressing hard, Billups had no choice but to take a sneak shot at the top of the arc when he couldn't execute the original plan smoothly.

Clang!

Unfortunately, because Curry had also been psychologically scarred by Billups in the first five games, Billups' sudden cold arrow regrettably failed to hit the target under Curry's interference.

On the court, while retreating, Su Feng took advantage of the Warriors' transition to half-court to say to Billups, "Chauncey, starting from the next possession, let me take the lead."

Hearing this, after a moment of surprise, Billups immediately nodded.

Even though, in his heart, Billups really wanted to ask Su Feng...

Whether starting a strong attack mode in tonight's environment would accelerate Su Feng's energy consumption.

But, looking at Su Feng's firm expression.

Billups only thought for 0.1 seconds in his mind before making a decision.

On the court, it was the Warriors' turn to attack.

James, who was preparing to hold the ball at the top of the arc and launch a strong attack, suddenly froze.

Because in this Western Conference Finals...

Apart from the switches made for defending pick-and-rolls.

This was the first time James had received attention from that man so early!

On the Warriors' bench, Van Gundy was shocked!

Because he had been thinking about how to consume Su Feng's energy...

He never expected that the Warriors would usher in a wave of "unexpected joy" right at the start of the game tonight!

Su Feng!

Are you out of your mind?

On the court, James didn't hesitate while holding the ball.

Looking at the "gift package" that the Lakers had personally delivered, at this moment, even if he knew that there was a bomb inside this "gift package," James had to open it!

Because, this was the best opportunity to consume Su Feng's energy!

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

At the top of the arc, after making several physical contacts with Su Feng, the heavier James took the lead in grabbing position and went straight to the Lakers' restricted area after gathering the ball.

However, Su Feng, who had amazing lateral movement speed, sealed James' face before James took his last step to jump.

Near the free throw line, James, who had to forcibly increase the arc of his shot in order to avoid Su Feng's block, failed to give the Warriors the first point.

However, on the sidelines, Van Gundy applauded Little James for being so decisive.

In Van Gundy's view, even if James didn't make the shot, the Warriors had already achieved their goal.

Because while collecting the toll from James, Su Feng would also expend a lot of energy.

Under the basket, Little Jordan protected the rebound for the Lakers.

It was the Lakers' turn to attack.

At this time, less than 10 seconds after the last surprise, Van Gundy felt that the Warriors had ushered in "double happiness" tonight!

Because Su Feng, who was too eager to win in Van Gundy's eyes...

Actually started his strong attack mode right away!

Good heavens!

This wave...

Was really suicidal, wasn't it?

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

On the court, after forming a triangle, Su Feng, who had sunk to the low post, immediately launched a contest between real men against Artest behind him the moment he got the ball.

And in this collision of muscles and muscles, the splashing sweat was constantly reminding people...

This was a back-to-the-basket isolation play that consumed a lot of energy.

Bang!

At the low post, at the moment when the last muscle collision was completed, Su Feng turned around and flicked the ball towards the basket with his fingers.

Swish!

2 to 0.

On the court, while retreating, Kobe was anxious.

"You clearly knew that Ron's strength is no less than yours... Why didn't you pass the ball out just now?" Looking at the sweat dripping down Su Feng's neck, Kobe said with a look of distress.

"Why should I pass when there was such a good isolation opportunity?" Su Feng asked with a smile.

Stubborn!

So stubborn!

"You are our leader, your energy must be saved for more critical moments!" Kobe said, looking at Su Feng with a serious expression.

"Kobe, haven't you figured it out yet? Now is our most critical moment.

This game is our only chance to end this series." Su Feng said after patting Kobe on the shoulder.

Although losing Game 6 didn't mean the end for the Lakers.

But...

To be honest.

Right now, this Lakers team had reached the point where they were about to run out of ammunition and food.

Therefore, even if Game 7 would return to Staples Center...

At that time, the Lakers would be the ones with a higher probability of losing the series.

As for deliberately conserving energy in Game 6 and then trying to find a way to end the series after returning to Los Angeles?

Don't joke around!

In the situation of holding the match point, not thinking of ways to end the series, but having to play a heartbeat in the last game...

Did he, Su Feng, and this Lakers team really think that their hearts were made of steel and could guarantee a super performance in every game?

In fact, this was a very simple probability question.

Simply put, if they deliberately chose to conserve energy and bet their fate on the last game, the Lakers' chances of advancing would be 50%...

Then the Lakers who chose to fight hard in Game 6, even if they didn't win that 50% in Game 6, would still have at least a 35% chance of advancing in the final Game 7.

One was 0% plus 50%, and the other was 50% plus 35%.

If you don't understand, just ask...

Which plan would you choose?

Huh?

You said that if the Lakers had prepared in advance to give up Game 6, the probability of advancing in Game 7 would be more than 50%?

Then the question comes...

Under the premise that you have decided to give up Game 6...

How much energy do you think the Warriors would need to expend to beat your Lakers?

And to take a step back...

Could it be that the overall strength of this Warriors team would actively weaken, except in the event of unpredictable factors such as injuries?

Therefore, in Su Feng's view, tonight's battle was the time to give it all.

Sixteen years ago.

Since Michael Jordan could cross the physical limit in the game.

Then Su Feng also believed that he could cross that so-called limit.

On the court, looking at James who didn't even call for a pick-and-roll and wanted to force his way past him, Su Feng directly slapped away the ball he was holding in his arms.

At this time, on the sidelines, looking at Su Feng, Coach Lu, who was lost in thought, said more firmly to Walton beside him, "Jeff still doesn't understand Su enough."

Hearing this, Walton asked with a puzzled expression, "Which aspect are you referring to?"

Coach Lu smiled and said, "Of course... every aspect!"

Miami, in front of the TV, Riley, who had just led the Heat behind the scenes to snatch a match point in Miami with a score of 3 to 2, fired at the air speechlessly, "Who on earth gave them the courage to think that time and the game environment could defeat Su?"

Boston, recalling that tragic five-overtime game, Duncan looked at Leonard sitting beside him and said, "He can never be defeated by the so-called game environment."

Leonard nodded and said, "I know, I already knew it on that percentage night."

On the court, after personally stealing the ball from James' hand, Su Feng made a fast break and scored a layup.

4 to 0.

Back on defense, the Warriors attacked.

On the sidelines, looking at Su Feng, who was sparing no effort in desperately defending James, Van Gundy's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Pa—!

Just a few seconds later, Van Gundy suddenly realized a very serious problem.

"Fools!

Even if you think that the game environment and time can defeat Su, didn't you ever think that...

Before that, you might be defeated by him?" Riley couldn't help but complain in front of the TV.

Oracle Arena.

Still a steal from Su Feng!

At the top of the arc, at the moment when he was about to hold the ball and launch an attack, Little James, who was too eager to have physical contact with Su Feng, obviously forgot the painful experience he had previously suffered under Su Feng's defense.

NBA common sense.

When trying to isolate Su Feng.

Any offensive player who dares not to prioritize protecting the ball is a hero.

On the court, Su Feng scored two fast breaks in a row!

6 to 0!

On the sidelines, seeing this, Van Gundy, who had come to his senses, hurriedly applied for a timeout in front of the technical table.

At this time, while walking towards Su Feng, Kobe sighed and said, "If I guessed correctly...

You have been thinking about playing the entire game from the very beginning, right?"

Su Feng nodded and said with a smile, "So, don't I always say that you are the only one in this league who understands me?"

On the court, at the end of this timeout, Su Feng turned his head and said to Coach Lu, "Tyronn, can you promise me one thing tonight?"

Coach Lu: "Hmm?"

"I'll have plenty of time to rest after I die.

So...

Tonight, wait until I die before you sub me off to rest!" After stroking his hair, Su Feng said to Coach Lu word by word.

...

Fa Biao De Wo Niu: Now that that man has returned like lightning, then no matter what, Chang Chuxiao must also make a comeback like thunder in spring! Before 24:00 on the 12th, I'm booking a 10,000-word chapter, betting my last ripple on it!
