After the confession failed, I went to the NBA to play and lose weight

Chapter 276
The playoffs are still going on. After the Magic team took the lead in completing the promotion, the Lakers also won two cities in a row, becoming the second team to cross the second round.

In these two games, the Jazz actually have a certain chance.

In the battle of Tianwangshan, the two teams tied in the first three quarters, but in the critical fourth quarter, the Lakers suddenly made a last wave and successfully sent the Jazz away.

In this game, all ten starting players from the two teams scored in double figures. Deron scored 27+10, but the three of the Lakers scored 20+. Odom and Gasol became Kobe's right-hand men. The Lakers seized the opportunity.

At the end of the sixth half, the Lakers led by 19 points, and once reached a 20-point lead in the third quarter. As a result, the Jazz scrambled to catch up in the second half.

Deron and Boozer, who were lost in the first half, seemed to wake up suddenly and scored consecutively. Deron scored 20+10 again, and the six players of the team scored in double figures. Unfortunately, there was Kobe on the opposite side.

科比这场19中9、罚球17中15砍下34分8篮板6助攻，关键时刻连续冲击内线得手，在第四节湖人队陷入进攻困境的时候，站出来稳住了局势。

In the end, the Jazz were eliminated by only 3 points.

What's interesting is that the Lakers also scored in double figures with six players in this game, but the others felt good in the first half, but it was difficult for them to stand up when the score was close in the second half.

If it weren't for Kobe's performance at the critical moment, and Gasol and Odom's inside line finally supported the scene and blocked Boozer's impact at the critical moment, maybe it would really be overturned.

And Kobe, who averaged 30+ per game in two consecutive series, is undoubtedly the MVP of this series.

It's just that after entering the playoffs, except for the finals, including the East and West finals, there is no MVP set, and the FMVP is only the MVP of the finals. In terms of nature, it is more like "the best of the week", not necessarily The best player in the entire playoffs.

Just like the OK combination of the dynastic Lakers back then, although O’Neal won three consecutive FMVPs, it can only be said that he performed better than Kobe in every finals, but it cannot be said that he played better than Kobe in the playoffs every season In some series, when O'Neal was restricted, Kobe was able to stand up, which also raised the team's upper limit.

Therefore, the inside and outside of this team are indispensable. If they work together, they may really win two or three more championships, but unfortunately they can't...

At the same time, the matches on the other two sides reached the tie-break, and both old men played against the youth team.

The game between the Celtics and the Raptors was somewhat unexpected, and the most unexpected of course was the Raptors, who were almost black all the way. After all, the record gap between the two teams in the regular season was so big. The Big Three should perform better than the Raptors in the playoffs.

But since the playoffs, their performance at home and away has almost become a rule. The reason why they are fast is because there are three games that do not meet the requirements. However, after the two teams tied 2:2, It was verified again.

The result was that the Celtics at home in Tianwangshan killed the Raptors. Garnett and Pierce both scored 20+ points. Ray Allen also scored 5 three-pointers. Also abused the Green Army.

Although Bosh's performance in this series was not as impressive as in the first round, and seemed to be limited by the inside defense of the Celtics led by Garnett, his teammates performed exceptionally well.

In other words, it doesn't necessarily mean that they play well, but that the Green Army is like falling into a curse when they go to the away game. Get back the match point.

But this made this round of the series less suspenseful, because everyone knew that the Celtics returning home were different, and they did not disappoint.

The game also remained suspenseful in the third quarter, but Ray Allen, who was 6-for-1 at the beginning of the fourth quarter, suddenly regained his touch and scored 3 consecutive three-pointers to help the team quickly open to 10 points. The army played steadily and maintained a double-digit lead until the end of the game.

The lineup for the Eastern Conference finals has also been released. The next round will be the Magic and the Celtics, the two teams with the top two records in the Eastern Conference and the league.

It's just that the four regular season matches all ended in victory for the Magic, and the performance of the two teams in the playoffs is even more different, which also makes the outside world not so optimistic about the Celtics.

Especially when they met the Orlando Magic, which ranked first in the regular season, even the safest home court advantage would be lost.

And when they faced Philadelphia and Toronto teams in the first two rounds, they didn't feel that they were under any pressure, but they were dragged to six or seven games, which made people doubt their true strength even more.

Will they be strong when they are strong, weak when they are weak, or let the Magic go straight back to their original form?
If the so-called Big Three formed by such a big deal during the offseason failed to reach the finals, even if this is the first season, it will definitely disappoint many people.

After all, Garnett, Ray Allen, and Pierce are still in their prime, and they are not the same as Payton, Malone of the Lakers F4, or Barkley who defected to Houston later.

Then the opponent of the Lakers in the Western Conference Finals was also decided, and it was the old opponent of the Spurs.

Jiang is still old and hot. The Spurs were able to win two consecutive cities twice after being forced into danger twice by the Hornets and missed Tianwangshan, thus winning with a total score of 4:3 this difficult series.

The Hornets still paid the price of being young. Although their overall performance is not bad, they are far inferior to their opponents in handling some details, and the next two games have 80 points in one game and 82 points in the other game. Something went wrong.

The magic trick of the Spurs, the key to the reversal, was to directly put Ginobili on the starting lineup. As a result, Ginobili averaged 25.5 points per game in the last two games, which was a major contributor to the team's victory.

Scott was unable to come up with an effective countermeasure against this, but he responded to someone's evaluation that he missed the best coach. He is not good at tactical adjustment and on-the-spot response, and it all depends on Paul, the commander on the field.

But Paul is only in his third season, and he is also the team's most stable point in this series. If it weren't for his performance, the Hornets wouldn't have played against the Spurs until Game [-] and still had the advantage twice. What else can we criticize? Woolen cloth?

Anyway, he's still young, he can accumulate experience if he fails, and try again next time, it's impossible for him to miss the second round all the time, right?
Like the Celtics vs. Magic, the outside world is not very optimistic about the matchup between the Spurs and the Lakers. The Lakers played too easily and too strong, and the Spurs really showed some old age this season.

Facing the young Hornets, they can rely on their experience to make a comeback, but facing the Lakers led by Kobe Bryant, who is not less experienced than them and can be said to be a "Spurs killer", can they do the same thing?
The next game will officially start on May 5. The first game will naturally be the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals. The Magic will face the challenge of the Celtics at home.

There are many stories between these two teams in the regular season. There are conflicts and tit-for-tat between Li Chengming and Garnett, the entanglement between Perkins and Howard, Pierce and Turkoglu, two different types of third positions. Wait and see.

The fierce competition between the two teams for the top spot at the end of the season also made the fans feel very enjoyable. It is said that some fans did not even watch the game, but paid attention to who won and who lost the two teams. There is hope to overtake and go back.

In the end, there was only one game difference, which is enough to show how fierce the competition is, although Magic fans may say, "We are all training in the end, and Boston only cares about the first place in the regular season."

In the playoffs, their performances were very different. The Magic were a little uncomfortable at the beginning, but quickly stabilized their position and played better and better.

Especially the most worrying point before, Li Chengming continued his strong performance until the playoffs, proving his gold content as the best rookie.

As for the Green Army, the offense of the Big Three is not very stable, let alone other players, so it depends on whether their defense can stop the Magic.

But the Magic can be said to be the only inside pressure in the league. The regular season has proved that they can't stop them. Will the playoffs improve?

They don't have the speed-type offensive guards that the Magic are worried about, but Pierce's singles tactics at the third position can be expected.

So everyone focused on the performance of Pierce and Li Chengming. Whoever played better might directly determine the outcome.
