On May 21, Beijing time, the NBA playoffs continued. According to the schedule, the Lakers will host the Nuggets today, which is the third leg of the Western Conference Finals between the two teams, the Lakers have lost both previous two games and are currently trailing the Nuggets 2-0.
That's why today's game is especially important for both teams. On the Lakers side, James, Davis and other stars entered training five hours early. James is wearing very handsome today, and wearing sunglasses looks particularly temperamental. Davis dressed very casually, in line with his usual style of dressing. In addition, stars such as Hachimura and Reeves also made handsome appearances.
James practiced mid-range shots during the warm-up, especially the extra threes. Since entering the playoffs, James' three-point shooting has been very bad, and he only made 1 of 20 in the final quarter, which directly caused the Lakers to fail to open the situation in some anxious moments. In the Western Conference finals G1 and G2, James missed shots in consecutive key moments. At the same time, Hachimura also practiced three-pointers.
In addition, the NBA officially announced the referee team arrangement of the game, the famous referee Scott Foster served as the referee, the first deputy referee was Bill Kennedy, the second deputy referee was Mark Lindsay, and the substitute referee was Mitchell Irving.
Interestingly, Nuggets reporter Harrison Wind reported that Nuggets Jokic's two older brothers, Nemanja and Strahinja, will travel to Los Angeles today to watch the Western Conference finals G3. Jokic's two older brothers are not basketball players, and they became famous for stepping up during the Nuggets-Heat clash last season and traveling to Miami to protect Jokic. Today they came to the away stadium on purpose, undoubtedly to cheer for their younger brother.
The game will be played at 8:30 a.m. today, will the Lakers win the first Western Conference final, or will the Nuggets take a 3-0 lead? Let's wait and see.
