Chapter 298 The Second Battle of the Western Finals (2)
Curry's three-point shot is accurate, and his shooting percentage at the basket is no worse than Kobe's!
Curry can easily score the ball despite being blocked by a big center, let alone Kobe.
After switching to the offensive lineup, it turned into a scoring battle between Kobe and Curry.
Kobe's touch was very hot. In just three minutes, Kobe made two three-pointers and scored 12 points.
An average of 4 points per minute!
Curry is even worse. In the same time, Curry made three three-pointers and two goals from the basket, one of which was two plus one!
Three minutes and 14 points!
The point difference between the two teams has expanded by 2 points!
112:82!
The Warriors lead by 30 points!
Kobe exploded, and Curry also showed off his power!
Kobe's scoring ability is quite strong, and Curry's explosive scoring power is even more terrifying!
There are only more than two minutes left in the third quarter!
The Lakers trailed by 30 points, and their hope of winning became increasingly uncertain.
No matter what, Kobe will not give up, he will continue to attack and score.
Curry was also not to be outdone, making three-point breakthroughs one after another.
Soon, the third quarter ended and the score became 120:90!
The Warriors lead by 30 points.
The game entered garbage time early.
In the fourth quarter, both teams came off the bench and the game was played very quickly.
Although it was garbage time, the fans at Oracle Arena were still very happy and kept cheering for the substitutes!
Curry was also very funny on the bench, making everyone in Jordan laugh.
On the contrary, everyone on the Lakers bench looked gloomy and listless.
Kobe returned to the locker room early.
Finally, when the referee blew the whistle, the score was fixed at 142:113!
Warriors win by 29 points!
The first game of the Western Conference Finals started with a victory.
Kobe performed well throughout the game, scoring 38 points, 5 assists, and 9 rebounds.
Among them, he made 4 of 5 three-pointers and 12 of 14 free throws.
Obviously, healing the finger injury will help Kobe's shooting a lot.
If the shot is accurate, the breakthrough will be more threatening and more likely to cause fouls.
Curry's performance was even more impressive, making 11 of 15 three-pointers and scoring 45 points, 8 assists, 5 rebounds, and 4 steals!
When being interviewed by reporters after the game, Deng Fang did not keep a low profile and gave a good show!
No matter how Deng Fang boasted, the reporters still nodded and kept saying yes!
When you win, your farts taste good!
Not surprisingly, the Warriors once again made the front pages of major sports media.
"Curry defeated Kobe Bryant in a huge scoring battle. The replacement of the old and new players as the number one player in the league has been completed!"
"Curry overtook the car at a corner, and James wanted to cry without tears!"
"The new army went all out, and the defending champion suffered a disastrous defeat in the first battle!"
"The Warriors' daily mode is on. Who in the alliance can stop the Warriors' progress?"
"The rookie coach defeated the Zen master, the Warriors have a bright future!"
…
This game allowed Deng Fang to gain 64 ability points!
Before the game, Deng Fang boasted of a great victory, and in the end it was as Deng Fang said, a 29-point victory.
Enough bluster to build momentum and attract a lot of attention. Of course, such a win must be rewarded with enough points.
It is possible to get 8 ability points for such a victory in the regular season. Now it is the Western Conference Finals, and it will be 8 times higher!
It cost 80 ability points to treat Kobe Bryant once before.
That’s a minor injury within a month!
Now it costs at least 80 ability points to treat any main force once!
Deng Fang also worked hard for his ability!
Now Deng Fang has a total of 79 ability points.
It’s still not safe, you still have to brag!
Of course, the premise is to be prepared and ensure you win, otherwise you will be in trouble!
…
On May 18, the Eastern Conference Finals began.
The two sides facing off are the Cavaliers and Magic.
The Magic were the only team to sweep their opponents 4-0 in the semifinals.
Likewise, the Magic are the only team to sweep their opponents in both series.
Don't worry if your opponent is weak. Being able to do this also shows that magic is very powerful.
Being able to abuse food is also a skill!
Besides, no team that can make it to the playoffs is really a rookie!
People also worked hard for a season to get in.
But no matter what, the Magic ended the series early, took a lot of rest, and were already waiting for their opponents.
In terms of physical fitness, the Magic definitely have a considerable advantage.
The Cavaliers, on the other hand, played five games against the young Bulls in the first round, and then played seven games against the Celtics in the second round before deciding the winner.
Although the Bulls are ranked eighth, they are harder to beat than the Bobcats (7th) and the Bucks (6th).
Even the fifth-place Heat were better than the Bulls in the playoffs.
James also injured his right elbow for this reason.
It is for this reason that the Cavaliers had a difficult matchup with the Celtics.
If Deng Fang hadn't healed James' right elbow injury, the Cavaliers would have lost in the end.
The Cavaliers in history were eliminated by the Celtics in 6 games.
In the end, the Celtics eliminated the Magic in 6 games and advanced to the Finals where they battled the Lakers in 7 games.
If Perkins hadn't been injured in Game 6 of the Finals and only played 7 minutes, and missed Game 7, it's not certain who would have the last laugh.
But now that James is free of injuries, the Cavaliers eliminated the Celtics, and the Magic's opponent has become the Cavaliers.
After the tiebreaker on the evening of May 15th, the conference finals against the Magic will begin on the 18th today. The Cavaliers' physical fitness is somewhat worrying.
But the result was very unexpected. The Cavaliers took the initiative from the beginning and played very well on both offense and defense.
On the contrary, the Magic is restricted everywhere, unable to score on offense and unable to defend on defense.
To put it bluntly, the intensity cannot keep up.
This is the problem with resting for too long.
No matter how intense the training is, it will be different from the competition.
We are all teammates, how many of you are you embarrassed to elbow or bump into during training?
Even if you want to, the coach won't.
It's not worth it if you get hurt.
No one can do anything about getting injured during the game. How unfair it is to get injured during training!
If the intensity cannot keep up, the reaction must be slower.
It's okay to have a leader who takes the lead, but if the leader doesn't perform well, the team will be in trouble.
The boss of the Magic is Howard, but he doesn't play a big role on the offensive end.
Many times, the Magic play more smoothly without Howard.
It would be fine if Howard could contribute on the defensive end with peace of mind, but the problem is that he is unwilling to do so.
If you want the ball, you must give it. If you don't give it, you won't be happy. If you give it, you can't score. If it doesn't work, your opponent can use foul tactics to make you take free throws. Such a boss position is more embarrassing.
On the contrary, James of the Cavaliers can still lead the charge.
Breaking through the paint to cause damage, attracting teammates to attack and score, and occasionally shooting a three-pointer, James kept the team in order.
Although they played 7 games against the Celtics, the Cavaliers' morale was even stronger.
They are all professional players, so physical fitness is not as important as morale.
Under the leadership of James, the Cavaliers led by 11 points in the first quarter!
At halftime, the Magic were already 15 points behind.
Although the Magic reacted in the second half and began to counterattack, the Cavaliers took advantage of their home court to firmly hold on to their lead.
In the end, the Cavaliers defeated the Magic 102:91 and won their first victory in the Eastern Conference Finals.
