The Lakers' tenacity exceeded people's expectations.
They were down 0-2 in the initial stage, and as everyone knows, when you're up against the Warriors, 0-2 is no different from 0-3.
Moreover, the Lakers lost both of their home games.
However, the team led by the MVP, the top seed in the West, dramatically clawed their way back to tie the series.
Although they lost the pivotal game, the Lakers still shocked the world, just like the twenty thousand corpses in the warehouse at Columbia Airport shocked the world.
With the experience of winning the first two games at Oracle Arena, Kobe Bryant returned to Mission Bay with strong confidence.
Upon seeing Mark Twain's poster outside Oracle Arena, Kobe walked to the one that read "The deep sea of the Bay Area will drown the Lakers."
"Caron, come take a picture for me."
"Huh? What's so special about this lousy poster?"
"Just take the picture."
