5 month 8 day.
"Six consecutive victories, we are very strong, and we will definitely win the championship this year. The Jazz are just a stepping stone for us,"
"The Jazz are not easy to play at home, so don't be careless."
"Yes, their home court seems to be the devil's home court."
"I think Zhou Hang and Kobe will take care of them."
"This year's Zhou is so cool, I like his ultra-long three-pointer, which is an epoch-making three-pointer."
"I hate Zhou. This guy made the wild field also set off a super long three-pointer. The teammates I met these days are all throwing super long three-pointers. It doesn't matter if you can make it. The key is not to make it."
"It happened to me too. I don't have Zhou's ability, so I just want to pretend to be aggressive there, so I really want to hit someone."
In Los Angeles, in a basketball-themed nightclub, many Lakers fans gathered to discuss the upcoming G3 game.
It's just one corner of Los Angeles.
On this night, countless domestic and foreign fans watched the third game between the Lakers and the Jazz in front of the TV.
Zhou Hang's use of three-pointers set off a wave of enthusiasm in the league, not only in the NBA, but also in the field.
It is said that some NCAA players have started throwing all kinds of ultra-long three-pointers like Zhou Hang.
Stephen Curry, who is very famous recently at Davidson College, scored many such wonderful goals in previous games.
The G3 battle is what the Jazz think is the final battle.
If they lose this game again, it means that there is no suspense in this round of the series.
Salt Lake City, Utah has cultivated a group of loyal fans since the Scottoton-Malone period.
No matter what kind of difficulties this group of fans face, they will not give up supporting the team.
The square outside the energy solution arena was occupied by crazy Jazz fans early on.
These Jazz fans pulled various banners and shouted unified slogans to cheer for the Jazz.
The posters of Zhou Hang and Kobe were crazily humiliated by Jazz fans.
After the arena was allowed to enter, countless fans in white jerseys frantically flocked into the Energy Solutions arena.
When Zhou Hang's name was called at the appearance ceremony, Zhou Hang heard the biggest booing this season.
"Fake, Zhou Hang!!"
"Kobe, go back!"
"This is not your place"
In the end, all kinds of abuse converged 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 coming to an end. At the Celtics home court, the 76ers led the Celtics by more than 20 points. If they win the game, they can directly enter finals.
On the other side, the Lakers in the West have won and entered the finals.
The Celtics fans saw that there was no hope of winning and could not have a final duel with their old opponents. They even shouted "BEAT LA!!" and handed over the hope of defeating the Lakers to their opponent Philadelphia.
After this game, this slogan originally given to the Philadelphia 76ers gradually became a slogan for Boston Celtics fans to cheer for their team, and it spread more and more widely, so that many NBA players after the 90s If the team enters the playoffs and the opponent is the Lakers, the local fans will shout this slogan. .
Compared with the Nuggets fans in the last round, Jazz fans are even crazier now.
"This is their fear of us." Kobe patted Zhou Hang on the shoulder and said calmly.
In the face of the abuse and doubts from the audience, Kobe always has a reverse understanding. He is very good at turning these doubts into motivation.
"Then get rid of them tonight." Zhou Hang said confidently.

These boots feature the latest technology and are suitable for defenders.
The sneakers are very comfortable to wear, and Zhou Hang can feel their intention to make a good product.
Anta sent a truckload of shoes to Zhou Hang.
After wearing the sneakers he designed, Zhou Hang felt very unique.
Zhou Hang wanted to win tonight's game, and he didn't want to encounter Waterloo on the debut day of his new shoes.
"Flying General 1" will also start selling online and offline at the same time after the game starts tonight.
After the entrance ceremony, Zhou Hang followed the Lakers players and listened to Master Zen explain the tactics.
Zen Master still likes to use the triangle offense.
Zhou Hang understands the triangle offense in theory, but in practice it is almost meaningless. This is why the Zen master occasionally feels that Zhou Hang is not so perfect.
Barkley and Smith on the TNT commentary desk have been waiting for a long time.
Barkley said: "The Jazz have lost two consecutive away games, and they have no retreat in this game."
Smith said: "Yes, in theory, as long as the Lakers win tonight's game, there will be no suspense between the two teams in the series."
Barkley said: "The key players on the Lakers side tonight are still Zhou Hang and Kobe. Whether their outside firepower can continue to the level of the previous two games, if they both open at the same time, it will cause huge trouble for the Jazz. "
Smith said: "The Jazz need more people to stand up. Both Deron and Carlos are playing normally. They need to have the third and fourth points to stand up to beat the Lakers. Of course, Sloan's formation The lineup also needs to be readjusted to see if it can make a fundamental change for the Jazz."
Barkley said: "Zhou Hang is also the focus of our attention tonight. Zhou Hang scored 40+ in the first two games. This is incredible for a rookie."
Smith said: "Under the Lakers' system, next to Kobe and Gasol, Zhou Hang encountered little defensive pressure, which gave him a lot of room to play."
On the court, the coaches of the two teams finished their tactics and the starting players stayed on the court.
Both Deron and Kobe were cheering on their teammates.
Lakers starters: Zhou Hang, Kobe Bryant, Walton, Gasol, Odom.
Jazz starting: 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 the main defense to the main attack.
Sloan also understood that if he wanted to defend against the Lakers, he couldn't defend against them. He could only fight against them on the offensive end, so as to have a chance of survival.
Although it is possible to lose even worse in a confrontation, Sloan has no choice.
