Chapter 276: After waiting for three years, I finally got an opportunity and touched the floor of the Western Conference Finals!
May 9, Energy Solutions Arena.
With the momentum of his first regular season MVP, Kobe came to the home court of the Jazz to play the G3 game.
Kobe's strength at his peak was so terrifying. He continued to play offensively and continued to add firepower. He scored 34 points, 8 assists and 7 rebounds. He scored a 30-level triple-double in three consecutive games. He was too strong to be able to top it, but he beat him.
A lonely person becomes the leader of the empty slashing group.
The Jazz team played better, narrowly beating the Lakers by 3 points with a score of 104 to 101, and tied the score to 1 to 2.
In the G3 battle, the key to determining the outcome is not the outside line, but the inside line showdown.
Energy Solutions Arena is indeed the well-known home stadium of the Devils. When playing games here, the advantage goes to the Jazz.
With the support of the Devils at home, the Jazz can shoot more accurately, defend more aggressively, and play more confidently. After all, the whistle is on their side...
On the contrary, the Lakers' various abilities are being reduced, including physical discomfort, shooting, inaccurate shooting, rushing to the basket, and rushing to the basket without a whistle...
Anyway, it's just annoying. The Lakers can't find their own rhythm at all.
Odom made 3 of 3 shots, 1 of 1 three-pointers, 6 of 8 free throws, and scored 13 points and 12 rebounds. Rounding it off is no longer a 20-20 double-double performance, but a 10-10 double-double performance.
Half of it is damaged, and it is more vicious than the defensive ability of the Kardashian family women. What do you use to break it?
Gasol was not much better. Without the first two games, he played a more important tactical role than Kobe. He only contributed 6 of 10 shots, 12 points, 6 rebounds and 1 assist. In one word: softie.
!
With the blessing of home court advantage, once the Jazz's defensive intensity increased, Gasol's condition dropped, and his performance was still the soft guy before.
Boozer was really tough, shooting 12 of 21 from the field and scoring 27 points and 20 rebounds, which was still a little bit behind the previous two games.
Okur's shooting was accurate, 8 of 14. The key was 4 of 7 three-pointers, scoring 22 points and 7 rebounds.
In the interior competition, the Jazz's two-level insiders perform at the level of two All-Star-level insiders, while the Lakers' two All-Star-level insiders perform at the level of two role players. What can the Lakers do to compete?
No matter how bad Kobe's performance is, you can't stand up to him.
In addition, Su Bei was strictly guarded. He made 4 of 9 shots, 3 of 8 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws. He scored 13 points, 3 assists, and 4 rebounds. It was an ordinary performance, but he and Odom were both No. 1 on the ball.
Second high score, is this the performance?
The Lakers did not lose unfairly.
Especially Deron, who still performs at an All-Star level on the outside, with 18 points and 12 assists, the Jazz are so strong that they can't even compete!
You ask, how can you narrowly win by 3 points if you have a strong opponent?
No idea, I can only say that the Lakers' triangle offensive tactics are too much like the Jazz's pick-and-roll tactics. If a father beats his son, no matter how hard he jumps, he can still run away from home?
Sure enough, the son of the Jazz's resistance was only temporary. If he wanted to resist for a long time, it was not enough to just rely on a devil's home court to protect him from wind and rain.
The players of the Lakers are also adapting. After being in the plateau area for five days, the altitude sickness that reduces the players' strength has been reduced a lot.
Especially since Jackson no longer wanted to have fun and be a bad person. Kobe, Gasol, Odom and Su Bei basically only rested for three or four minutes in the G4 game on May 11.
There's no such thing as rotation, it's just about starvation.
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
Kobe is really incredible this season. He continued his previous firepower and scored 33 points, 11 assists and 8 rebounds. He was just a little short of a sewer job. Otherwise, he would have had a 30-level triple-double performance in four consecutive games.
, the opponent is the AK47, who has been in the best defensive team. I want to ask you if you are afraid?
Then, Gasol made 11 of 16 shots and scored 23 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists. Odom made 10 of 18 shots and scored 26 points, 12 rebounds and 4 assists.
With Kobe's 35+ offensive base, the Lakers' two big men only need one of them to perform at an All-Star level, and the Lakers will win 80% of the time. Now both of the two big men are playing at an All-Star level, and that's the Lakers.
The winning formula.
Su Bei made 5 of 8 shots, 4 of 6 three-pointers, and 1 of 1 free throws. He scored 15 points, 4 assists, and 3 rebounds, which did not hinder the Lakers' true Big Three.
Boozer had 14 points and 13 rebounds, and Okur had 16 points and 9 rebounds. Without his strength in the G3 game, Deron's output of 29 points and 14 assists alone could not prevent the Jazz from defeat.
What about Kirilenko? Isn’t he awesome?
He made 4 of 4 shots, 7 of 9 free throws, efficiently scored 15 points, 5 blocks and 3 assists. He was also very good at grabbing basketballs, but he was assigned to be a "stuck forward". He was so uncomfortable playing, how could you expect an AK47?
Save this team?
Even if Kirilenko has this intention, the Jazz may not give him this opportunity.
If it’s not a win led by the Utah duo, we don’t want it.
The score was 115 to 107. The Lakers had an 8-point advantage. They turned away and defeated the Jazz. The score was 3 to 1 and they took the lead in getting the match point in the series.
May 14, Staples Center Arena.
Kobe has restrained his quasi-super triple-double offensive firepower in this series, averaging 34.5 points, 9 assists and 9 rebounds per game, and assisted the twin towers of Gasol and Odom. He seemed to have found a winning formula. In the G5 game, only 10
He made 6 shots and scored 26 points, 7 assists and 6 rebounds, allowing the Lakers' inside line to continue to take off.
With the core players, except for Lao Yu, all playing for more than 40 minutes, the Lakers' internal and external offense continued to be full of firepower.
Odom scored 22 points and 11 rebounds. Gasol was omnipotent with 18 points, 9 assists, 7 rebounds and 4 assists. In addition, Su Bei made an average of 6 of 11 shots, 4 of 9 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws.
, a performance of 16 points, 3 assists and 4 rebounds.
The Big Four of the Lakers all played their respective roles well and did not give the Jazz any chance to steal the show. They dominated the Jazz from the first quarter until the end of the world.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The score was 121 to 104. The Lakers had a 17-point advantage and defeated the Jazz. They eliminated the Jazz with a big score of 4 to 1. After 3 years,
I touched the floor of the Western Conference Finals again.
"Kobe, after three years, the Lakers have once again touched the floor of the Western Conference Finals. How do you feel now?"
"Of course it's fun.
I did it, and I was able to reach the Western Conference Finals without that person."
"What do you want to do most right now?"
"Well, I want to lie down...sleep, get up at four in the morning, and continue practicing.
We have reached the Western Conference Finals, so there is no reason to lose. We can only continue to work hard and keep winning."
"What?
not enough?
Playing against the Jazz, you've averaged 33 points, 8 assists and 8 rebounds per game. That's it, aren't you satisfied?"
"Yes, if you don't win the final trophy, even if you reach the finals and get second place, you are still a loser, and you are still the biggest failure.
I never want to be that person.”
"Gasol, after joining the Lakers for half a season, he won something that the Grizzlies couldn't win in 7 years. What do you think?"
“Very incredible!
Then I thought, this is the Lakers, so there is nothing strange about it.
Winning is the tradition here, I am very happy to be part of such a team, and I am naturally very excited to be needed by the team..."
"Ding, gaining Kobe's favor with the Black Mamba is worth 6,000!"
"Ding, gaining the favor of my sister-in-law Gasol is worth 5,000!"
"Ding, getting Lama Odom's favor is worth 3000!"
"Ding, get 2000 of Little Fatty Delong's rage points!"
"Ding, get 2000 rage points from the rebellious Boozer!!"
"..."
After taking a shower, he returned home and turned on the system information prompt. Su Bei glanced at it and found it quite satisfactory.
"After waiting for three years, Kobe finally got the opportunity to touch the floor of the Western Conference. Not only could he prove his strength, but he could also get back what he had thrown away, which naturally gave him a lot of "qi".
Gasol has been suffering from an itch for 7 years, and now it is finally gone.
The "qi" given will also not be less.
I will stay with the Lakers for three more years, and the first year is a great time to gain momentum.
It will definitely be fun the first time, and it will be fun the second time, and it will always be fun if you keep doing it...
However, if you do too much, the output will definitely become less and less. After all, there is only one drop left, so what else can you give?
So, we have to continue to work hard. If we do not open for three years, we will eat for three years after opening. The words of our ancestors still make sense."
Thinking of this, Su Bei Ganfan became more active.
If you don't work hard, you will not only have a problem with your brain, but you will also be unable to do the work.
Solve the midnight snack and miss another meal in life.
Su Bei felt lifeless, closed his eyes, stretched out his legs, and went to find Meng Gu.
Next, it is another refreshing day.
The Lakers have two days off. After all, their opponents in the next round have not yet been decided.
The Spurs and Mavericks are playing very anxiously, and it is very likely that the winner will not be decided until the tiebreaker.
Not even a possibility, but a certainty.
In the previous life, they faced the Hornets led by Paul, and the Spurs also passed the test in 7 games.
Speaking of which, the Mavericks' reinforcements in recent years have all come from the Spurs. Their lineup is really not afraid of the Spurs.
The only flaw is that Kidd has just joined for two months, and his integration with the team is a problem.
After all, the Spurs' GDP combination with Bowen has been working together for some time.
Sure enough, in the tiebreaker, Kidd's "no offense" weakness was targeted. Although Duncan was in average condition, his defense was on line, and the outbreak of Ginobili's demonic sword gave the Mavericks a fatal blow.
The score was 93 to 90. The Spurs narrowly defeated the Mavericks by 3 points. They eliminated the Mavericks with a big score of 4 to 3 and got another ticket to the Western Conference Finals.
After determining the opponent, Su Bei felt that there was no need to study the opponent.
There is nothing to study about Bowen. Although he continues to make the All-Defensive First Team this season, he was born in 1971 and is already 37 years old.
Although this bad old man is very bad, with Su Bei's youth and invincibility, he should be able to defeat him!
