Healthy basketball, starting from eating the old Lakers F4

Chapter 92 Gentleman Sweeps, Advances to the Second Round! (First update, please subscribe)
"BEAT LA! BEAT LA! BEAT LA!"

Delta Airlines Center, the first round of the playoffs between the Lakers and the Jazz will be played here.

After the Lakers starting players came on the stage, the Jazz fans at the scene immediately chanted in unison and put pressure on the Lakers players.

Even though Jazz legend Karl Malone played as the Lakers' starting power forward, the fans at the scene did not stop cheering.

Obviously, Jazz fans know very well that the Jazz this season has reached a critical moment of life and death.

If they can't keep the victory in this game, then the Jazz will be completely eliminated by the Lakers, and it is very likely to be swept!
The gap between No. [-] in the Western Conference and No. [-] in the Western Conference is too big!
Facing a super team like the Lakers and a civilian team like the Jazz that relies on Sloan's support, it's hard to win.

However, after G3 started, the Jazz fans at the scene immediately ignited their hopes.

I don’t know if the Lakers players were really frightened by them, or if the plateau climate in Salt Lake City had an impact on the Lakers players. In short, the Lakers performed poorly in the first quarter.

"It seems that the brothers have released a lot of pressure! But what's going on with this guy Kobe?"

As a member of the Lakers, Dunn naturally understands why Malone, who has been in Salt Lake City for so many years, has to start "adapting" to the climate of Salt Lake City again.

The starters are like this, and the substitutes may be even weaker after a while.

What surprised Dunn a little was that Kobe was the first to leave after the previous banquet.

Which is better in Los Angeles?

Know what you know, don't ask what you don't know.

In short, Kobe made 5 of 1 shots in the first quarter, so scared that Dunn passed the ball to Fisher who came off the bench, and he dared not pass the ball to Kobe again.

16 to 23, the Lakers lost 7 points in the first quarter and did not improve in the second quarter.

Du En performed a little better, but Jackson suddenly adjusted his playing time. He only played 5 minutes with a substitute in the second quarter, and Du En went to rest first.

Whoever gets the hot hand ends up, and Du En can also see that Zen Master is cooperating with Sloan to play tacitly.

The Lakers' main playing time has been reduced to a certain extent, and the Jazz's defensive strength is not as strong as in the first quarter.

It can only be said that no one can remain unmoved and remain alone in front of millions of tickets at a home stadium in the playoffs.

Zen master is the head coach, but he will inevitably be affected by the management.

It's no wonder that Jackson won so many championships with the Lakers and insisted on leaving immediately after the contract ended, even Aunt Jenny.

"Since there will be tacit balls, why are there still people who are always swept away?"

Du En didn't understand very well, so he could only observe and learn slowly, accumulating experience in the playoffs.

83比91，湖人跟爵士的G3打得要比G1和G2快多了，差不多早了半个小时。

After the Lakers lost to the Jazz by 8 points, all members quickly returned to the hotel to rest.

It's not like losing in the regular season-either the Zen master took everyone to meditate to relieve the pressure of the game.

Either there is an important game to be played next, and the Zen master has to say something serious and profound that goes straight to the heart and inspires the morale of the team.

Since nothing happened, the Lakers players were happy and relaxed, returned to the hotel, and went to rest early.

Anyway, after checking into the hotel for the away game, the Lakers team leader adopted closed management of the players.

In addition to listening to music and playing games in each other's rooms to pass the time, the players can only go to bed early.

Time soon came to April 4, at the Delta Air Lines Center, G27 between the Lakers and Jazz started again.

The Lakers players, who had just arrived in Salt Lake City and looked tired after traveling, finally showed the level they should have.

However, the Jazz player who just won a victory is also full of momentum, not giving up in the slightest.

Therefore, you should be cautious when considering your next round of opponents in advance.

With O'Neal scoring 11 points in the first quarter, the Lakers beat the Jazz by 26 to 24, temporarily beating the Jazz by 2 points.

In the second quarter, Jackson also made new adjustments, allowing Kobe, who only scored 2 points on three shots in the first quarter, to come out with Duan to lead the bench.

Duane and Kobe this season are undoubtedly the league's number one wing combination.

Although it has not reached the level of peak Jordan and Pippen, it is enough to make other teams in the league drink a pot.

Sloan also knew the power of Duane and Kobe being on the court at the same time, so he could only enter the mode of controlling the main force in advance and continue to compete head-on with the Lakers.

However, in the defensive counterattack led by Du En, the Lakers still seized more opportunities and widened the point difference to about 5 points.

After halfway through the second quarter, Malone and O'Neal returned to the court. The Jazz, who was not physically strong enough, was suddenly defeated by the Lakers.

O'Neal was as vigorous as in the first quarter, not at all as limp and unwilling to move like a salted fish in the previous game.

As the shark splashed on the basket again and again, not only the Great Pyrenees, but also other Jazz inside players were beaten by O'Neal.

54比46，上半场砍下21分7篮板2盖帽的奥尼尔，帮助湖人取得了8分的领先。

In this game, Kobe, still under the arrangement of Zen Master, continued to lead the bench with Du En at the beginning of the third quarter.

Relying on Duane to attract the defense, Kobe finally stood up to take over the game, making 7 of 5 shots in a single quarter, 4 of 3 free throws, and scored 13 points, laying a solid foundation for the Lakers to win G4.

Although in the fourth quarter, the Jazz are still resisting, and O'Neal has exhausted a lot of energy in the first three quarters, and he is already a little unable to move.

However, the jazz is not at the end of the crossbow and can't wear Lu Jin?
Like G2, Dunn, who has learned to distribute his physical strength reasonably in the regular season, once again stood up to show North American fans the slam dunk king's explosive physical talent.

When the enemy is tired, I attack; when the enemy retreats, I pursue him!

When the main force of the Jazz was physically weak, Dunn struck out with heavy punches, which made the scalps of the Jazz fans numb.

The dunks that broke into the basket again and again made some Jazz fans exclaim.

Just like Westbrook at his peak, others couldn't run in the fourth quarter, and Westbrook just flew in the sky and played in his own way.

Even though Westbrook's shooting percentage is not high in many cases, watching Westbrook's game is still very shocking.

101 to 89, the Lakers have stars who can stand up and lead the team in every quarter, and the commoner Jazz is naturally not the Lakers' opponent.

After winning G4, the Lakers and their team are about to set off and return to Los Angeles.

Before leaving, O'Neal said in a post-game interview: "I am so lucky to have Duan!
Dunn, like Kobe, is the future of the Los Angeles Lakers!

We can still win three championships and we will be the best in history! "

If the Lakers were not first in the Western Conference, not a super team, and had not won three consecutive championships before, many people might think O'Neal was too arrogant, and it would be troublesome to beat the Jazz, who are eighth in the Western Conference.

However, judging from the current situation, O'Neill's current wave is really not a prince who sells melons, but sells and boasts.

Kobe, Dunn, O'Neal, can this lineup be comparable to the Big Three of the Bulls led by Jordan?

The OK combination is enough to win the three consecutive championships. Du En's rookie season is so fierce, it can't be to hold back the legs, right?
Ever since, after the post-game interview was sent back to Los Angeles, many Lakers fans went out to fight with Bulls fans online, showing the momentum of the Lakers being the best in the world.

By the way, also in the post-game interview, Duane also said: "When I think of the fans in Los Angeles waiting for us, I want to end this game as soon as possible.

Like Gary and Karl, I joined the Los Angeles Lakers just to win the championship!
I was an NCAA champion before I came to the NBA. I believe that after entering the NBA, I can also become an NBA champion!

My ambition is very big, not one or two, nor three or four...

The Los Angeles Lakers will become the league's No. [-] team!

In my opinion, Phil is the best coach ever and Shaq is the best player ever! "

Dunn is not reconciled from being the No. [-] player in the regular season to the No. [-] and No. [-] player in the playoffs.

Duane does not deny that the Lakers in the playoffs are OK Lakers, but this does not prevent him from becoming the center of public opinion for the Lakers.

I had received news before that the best rookie award was about to be announced, and Duen also took advantage of the second round of the playoffs before the start to add fuel to his fire.

On April 4, the Lakers returned to Los Angeles.

When the bus arrived at the Toyota Center, we found a large number of fans at the door, who spontaneously came to greet us.

Dunn saw many fans wearing his jersey at the scene, obviously he is also very popular.

However, Dunn did not have time to greet the fans.

After getting the car keys and heading to the underground garage, Du En drove his car again and went home to rest for a day.

It wasn't until the afternoon of the next day that the Lakers gathered together again and began to warm up, train, and prepare for the game.

It is worth mentioning that on this night, the Lakers learned of their opponent in the second round in advance, and they can start to study, that is, the Sacramento Kings.

In the second half of the regular season, Webber's return did not make the King's strength to a higher level, but rather destroyed the king's chemical reaction.

As a result, the Kings, who were second in the regular season, were overtaken by the Timberwolves and Spurs, falling to fourth in the Western Conference.

However, relying on the Princeton system, relying on the full strength of the Kings, the Mavericks, who were also luxuriously equipped, were still swept by the Kings 4-1, and entered the second round of the playoffs earlier than the Lakers.

On the third day, that is, on the evening of April 4, the G30 game between the Lakers and Jazz started again.

With no release of water and a home game, the Jazz are naturally no match for the Lakers.

83 to 98, the Lakers won by 15 points and easily defeated their opponents in the first round of this year's playoffs.

而整个系列赛中，奥尼尔表现的最出色，场均17.8次出手，砍下27.4分12.6篮板1.2助攻0.4抢断2.8盖帽。

以得分数据而论，科比排第二，场均17.4次出手，获得22.4分5.5篮板3.2助攻2.6抢断0.2盖帽。

杜恩则排到了第三，场均15.4次出手，斩获20.6分5.2篮板10.8助攻1.2抢断0.8盖帽。

As for Malone, he only averaged 14.6 points and 9.8 rebounds per game, which is only at the starting level.

Not to mention Payton, even Fisher can't match, averaging only 4.2 points per game, and Fisher has 6.8 points anyway.

By the way, just judging from the situation in the first round, Duan's influence in the playoffs is no less than that of Kobe.

This undoubtedly declares that Dunn has gained a firm foothold in the playoffs.

As long as O'Neal's condition declines, as long as Duan helps the Lakers win the championship, Duan will be qualified to challenge the position of Lakers boss!

But before that, Dunn still has to hold a trophy with James first.

[Congratulations on winning the best rookie award in the NBA03-04 season. You have achieved the best rookie achievement and won a chance to draw the best rookie player template. Do you want to draw a lottery? 】
