Chapter 211 Advance to the Western Conference Finals
Three consecutive games were crushed without any suspense. It has become a joke for the Suns to make a comeback. The fourth game was just a face-to-face battle to protect the only face.
Game 4 of the Lakers and Suns series begins.
As soon as the Suns came up, they put up a lineup of Sir, Dior, Marion, Laga Bell and Nash with extremely strong attack power.
The Lakers put Bynum, Millsap, Wang Hao, Tucker and Kobe in a normal manner.
"Send them to vacation" Lakers yelled in unison before the game.
Bang!
If nothing unexpected happens, Wang Hao will still win the jump ball, and the Lakers will win the first attack.
Kobe, who had been lying for three games, was about to show his power in this game. He looked for the urgency of the game. In the words of Lao Ke, "I will rust my body when I lie down every day."
The Lakers scored the first place after a breakthrough.
No matter how hard Laga Bell tried, he just couldn't defend himself from Kobe, except for the throat lock.
"Bryant Terminator? This is a joke. Who can defend against Kobe who is serious?" Barkley sneered.
"Charles, have you completely given up on your old boss?"
"Kenny, there is no need to provoke it. Everyone can see that the Suns this year are no longer hopeful. The only thing I am concerned about is how many games the Lakers need to win the Suns. I'm just looking for truth."
As Barkley said, the Suns are just trying to beat the Lakers now and not let themselves lose too badly.
Kobe is the main attacker, and Wang Hao puts all his attention on defense and eating cakes.
As soon as the Suns came up, they still hit Nash and Xiao Si's pass and cut cooperation. Although Bynum could push Xiao Si in the inside, his speed really couldn't keep up with Xiao Si. After disassembling it, Xiao Si stepped into the inside and raised his hand and violently exploded the basket, as if venting the resentment of the past few days.
If there is any difference between the fourth game and the previous game, Wang Hao feels that the Suns have a momentum of burning their boats, but it is unknown how long this momentum can last.
Kobe's move with a little hand, and Wang Hao ran over to pick-and-roll the boss.
The pick-and-roll of the two men attracted the attention of the Suns and the five Suns. Through a season of evidence, no one dared to underestimate the power of the snake pick-and-roll.
Wang Hao and Kobe walked into the inside at the same time, whirl! Kobe got the ball, but the target was not Wang Hao, but Kover who used Millsap to cover the opportunity.
Swish!
Korver hit a 3-pointer with a steadily.
"I wonder if your other old team, the 76ers, will regret this deal when Korver performs like this." Kenny Smith continued to make fun of Barkley's old team.
"I said it has nothing to do with me anymore." Barkley said arrogantly.
Will the 76ers regret it? The 76ers have made their hearts regret. They gave away one Korver and accompanied a little Louwei. Both of them played well in the Lakers. Looking at Kwame Brown and Peterson, who were traded to the 76ers, Morris Chicks was in tears.
Kobe who only knows that he can work alone is not scary. After all, Kobe cannot get 60+ in every game, but Kobe who can work alone and connect with his teammates is too scary, okay?
Marion's three-pointer was interfered by Wang Hao and went out of the box, and Bynum won the rebound.
Kobe advanced to the frontcourt, Millsap came over to pick-and-roll, Kobe broke through Dior, who replaced the defense in one step, and killed the inside. Laga Bale and Sergei double-teamed one in front and one behind to defend Kobe.
Whoosh!
With eyes on his back, Kobe threw the ball back and passed it to Millsap. Millsap was not greedy for the ball, and made another pass, pushing the ball to Bynum, who was very strong. Because Sir Jr. defended Kobe, there was no one in front of Bynum at this moment.
Duang!
Bynum gave a wonderful dunk.
"Have the Lakers started playing team basketball?" Seeing the Lakers' offense in the past few rounds, Barkley was a little dumbfounded.
"The Lakers are preparing for the next opponent."
Yes, the Lakers have started playing team basketball. Wang Hao acted as a defensive vanguard and three-pointer. Kobe played the role of the team's heart. Millsap can also play high-level support. The entire Lakers' offense is extremely smooth.
In the first quarter, the two teams played back and forth, and the scores rose alternately until the end of the first quarter. The two teams were 31:33 and the Lakers were 2 points behind.
"Coach..." During the holidays, Wang Hao looked at the Zen master, and his meaning was self-evident.
"Haha! Go."
The Zen master waved his hand and untied Wang Hao's seal.
It was at this moment when we stepped into the Western Conference Finals, and there was no next game, we were going to sweep.
"It seems that the Lakers don't want to play in the fifth game anymore, so they put Wang Hao on the field in the second quarter." Barkley said when he saw the lineup sent by the Lakers in the second quarter.
"On the other side, the Spurs have swept the Warriors 4:0. It seems that the Lakers don't want the Spurs to wait for a long time."
Famal, who had not received a chance for a long time, was sent out to appear with Wang Hao.
"Don't worry, brother, I'll pass the ball to you like I did in college," Famal said.
The two have been on the same team from college to NBA. The last time they played the knockout round at the same time was March Crazy last year. This year it was replaced by the fourth game of the Western Conference semi-finals. The venue was changed, the audience changed, and even the teammates were only left with Famal and Wang Hao, but the feeling of passing the ball will not change.
"Come on, brothers" two people from each other fists to encourage each other.
In the second quarter, the Suns replaced Nash with Barbosa, and Cote Thomas replaced Sir Jr., and the rest continued to stay on the court.
Bang!
The Suns' first goal was slapped away by Wang Hao. Barbosa, who was a little dissatisfied, even asked the referee to argue. Finally, he saw the referee pick up the whistle and left reluctantly.
"Remember the feeling brothers I used to feel."
After saying that, Famal passed the ball to Wang Hao who ran across the center line.
Swish!
Wang Hao caught the ball and made a three-pointer.
"Your pass is still so comfortable."
Wang Hao praised.
"It's over, I probably won't have a chance to play in the second half." Kobe smiled bitterly at the Zen master.
"..." The Zen master also smiled bitterly.
If you really let him play a player like Wang Hao, he can really convert all kinds of impossible goals into goals.
Swish!
After defending against the Suns, Wang Hao hit another three-pointer.
"Prepare for vacation!" Wang Hao shouted at the Suns bench.
Barkley held his head in pain in the commentary seat, "Although I don't want to admit it, the game is over. Through a season of observation, Wang Hao has proved like us that whenever he enters this state, his opponent has no chance to resist."
"Charles, this is not as open-minded as you showed before." Kenny Smith made fun of him without any mercy.
"I really didn't expect the Suns to be able to take away a victory."
Back to the game, Wang Hao, who was getting more and more smooth, made 12 three-pointers in the second quarter, while Famal scored 12 assists in the single quarter.
With such a super-god performance, the Suns collapse was inevitable. 87:54, the Lakers beat the Suns in a single quarter at 56:21, and Wang Hao scored 38 points in a single quarter. In the third quarter, facing a group of big men with red eyes in the Suns, the Zen master directly pressed Wang Hao and Kobe on the bench, and the advantage of 33 points was enough for the Suns to chase.
Chapter completed!
