I'm good at basketball too

The Lakers also sent their strongest lineup.

Chris Paul, Kobe Bryant, Matt Barnes, Channing Frye, Yao Ming.

In the middle of the season, the Lakers almost bought Frye from the Hornets.

Because of the excellent performances of Yi Jianlian and Harris, Frye was a bit unable to play in the Hornets, so when the Lakers offered an olive branch, Frye chose to join the Lakers without hesitation and became Kobe's helper.

The addition of this space-based insider allowed the Lakers to make up for the last shortcoming. He and Yao Ming, who is on the inside, can form a perfect complement. This is one of the important reasons why the Lakers can get 50 wins this season.

However, can such a Lakers stop the Grizzlies?
Although Lao Dengtou is one year older, Li Ran, Paul and Xiao Jia are correspondingly one year older.

They are all time to raise the ball now.

Therefore, in the first game, everyone found that this Grizzly seemed to be stronger than the Grizzly when they played 16-0 last season!
Li Ran estimated that after this season of practice, Curry's current strength is close to that of Curry's unanimous MVP season in his previous life.

Although there is still a gap, it is not much.

As for Xiaojia, he is one step closer to the DPOY in his previous life.

As for Duncan, he is one year older. . .

Does it make any difference to him?

It seems not. . .

As for Li Ran, this season's scoring champion can already explain a lot of problems.

He has successfully proved that although he is at the historical level in other aspects, in terms of scoring, Li Ran is also one of the top scorers in active service.

After only two quarters, the Lakers found that they had fallen behind by ten points before they knew it.

Kobe's performance in this game was impeccable. His shooting percentage has been kept above 50%. Paul also organized the entire team very well. Even Metta Shiping, who came off the bench, seemed to have regressed five years in strength. Became the all-around elite small forward.

However, none of this worked.

The Grizzlies just attacked and defended step by step, relying on higher offensive and defensive efficiency to take the lead.

The way the Grizzlies play now can be described with a famous saying from Mr. Jin Yong.

Epee without front!

It's a coincidence!

In addition to organizing other aspects, Curry seems to be open to catch and shoot, but that's it. He made 6 of 5 three-pointers in the first half, scored 18 points, and had 6 assists.

Duncan teamed up with Xiaojia on the inside to build a high wall, which was comparable to Yao Ming.

What about Li Ran?
29 points and 10 rebounds, a stat that others might not be able to achieve in a whole game, was easily obtained by Li Ran in halftime.

His breakthroughs, three-pointers and mid-range shots were like sharp throwing knives one after another, and every knife stabbed the Lakers' vitals.

This feeling of being slowly boiled to death in warm water made the Lakers very uncomfortable.

It was like an invisible big net bound them tightly.

Only bystanders know that this is the real hard power gap.

The height of the upper limit is different, so naturally there is no suspense in the game.

虽然科比打满了全场，拿到了45分的高分，但是李然44分22篮板4抢断4盖帽的数据还是让灰熊笑到了最后。

The final point difference between the two teams was not much, only eight points.

But with these eight points, almost from the beginning of the game, it has been maintained until the end.

Seeing the Grizzlies who easily killed the Lakers, everyone broke out in a cold sweat.

With the strength of the Lakers, neither team in the Eastern Conference Finals dared to win lightly, but the Grizzlies just won the game lightly.

The second game is still the home of the Grizzlies.

Still the same plot as the previous game, the Grizzlies won this game by 9 points.

After the game, Kobe, who scored 39 points, walked out of the player channel with a dark face.

He was not dissatisfied with the performance of his teammates, but the aggrieved heart almost made him vomit blood.

It is still suppressed from beginning to end, and it still feels like a frog in warm water.

Yes, despair.

This is what most Lakers players think after these two games.

Even Yao Ming, who is usually humorous and funny, lost the interest of joking. After a hasty interview after the game, he returned to Los Angeles to lick his wounds.

But how can there be so much time for the Lakers to adjust in the series.

The Grizzlies followed the Lakers to Los Angeles like the god of death who harvested the victory.

Originally, the Lakers fans hoped that returning to the home team could make a comeback, but after Game 3, the Staples Arena was as silent as a library.

9 points!
Another 9 points!
The Grizzlies are on the road and still beat the Lakers by 9 points.

Everyone began to think of a terrifying possibility.

Did the Grizzlies not try their best in the first two games?

Thinking of this possibility, except for the Grizzlies fans, everyone shuddered.

Is there no team in the league that can force the Grizzlies to their full potential?
In the fourth game, although it was still at home, the Lakers, who had no fighting spirit, lost the worst game of this round of playoffs.

They lost to the Grizzlies at home by a full 23 points.

Li Ran averaged 36.5 points, 17 rebounds, 3.5 steals and 3 blocks per game in these four games, and handed in a perfect score.

However, the Grizzlies knew that in this round of the series, it wasn't that the Grizzlies didn't do their best, but that Li Ran didn't do their best.

Under the current league rules, it is too easy for Li Ran to average 40+ points per game.

In the Grizzlies training match, Calipari has clearly asked the players to use the HAND-CHECK rule to defend Li Ran.

Moreover, most of the players who played against Li Ran were Kirilenko.

Even so, Li Ran was also the one with the strongest scoring ability in the Grizzlies training game.

As we all know, if there is no HAND-CHECK, the defensive pressure faced by the players is completely different.

Just as the Grizzlies swept the Lakers and were waiting for the results of the two teams in the East, the Bulls and Cavaliers were fighting fiercely.

Originally, many people thought that the Eastern Conference finals would reach the tiebreaker.

But now, after four games, the Bulls surprisingly lead the Heat with a big score of 3:1.

James, who was unstoppable in the first two rounds, suddenly misfired in this round of the series.

The attention of the entire league is on the Bulls' little-known No. 2 player.

This small forward, who was as expressionless as Duncan and rarely even said a word, managed to defend against James.

Of course, defending James is not a lock, but in the four games that have been played in this round of the series, James scored five points less than the previous two rounds, and his shooting percentage dropped by a full 5 points!

Rose is now like a sharp and dazzling Yitian sword, his attack power can pierce through all defenses.

The offense of Rose and Bosh, coupled with the defense of Leonard and Noah, managed to snatch a victory at the Heat's home court! (end of this chapter)
