The Lakers and the Trail Blazers decided the winner, and the rest of the East and West duels also had results.

The Eastern Bulls eliminated the Pacers 4:1, the Heat eliminated the 4ers 1:76, and the Eagles eliminated the Magic 4:2.The magic and the eagle are the most suspenseful group. In the regular season, the performance of the magic looks better than the eagle, but in the end it is the eagle that advances to the second round.

In this way, the two groups of matchups in the second round of the Eastern Conference are the Bulls against the Eagles and the Heat against the Celtics.

In the west, the Hornets did not escape the fate of sweeping in the end. The Spurs easily advanced 4:0, and the Mavericks eliminated the Nuggets 4:1.The second round of the Western Conference will be the Warriors against the Lakers and the Spurs against the Mavericks.

In Yang Shuai's first year with the Warriors, they were eliminated by the Lakers in the first round of the playoffs, and the Lakers won the championship.Last season, the Warriors and the Lakers met in the Western Conference Finals. The Warriors defeated their opponents to advance to the Finals and win the championship. Now, the two teams are facing each other again.

In fact, the main theme of the Western Conference in the past two years has been the confrontation between the Warriors and the Lakers. Although the Spurs have occupied the first position this season, people still think of the Warriors and the Lakers when they think of the Western Conference. outside.

Compared with the duel between the Warriors and the Lakers, the battle between the bulls and horses has gradually faded out of people's sight in the past two years. After all, these two teams have not played well in the past two years, but now, it is time to turn over old scores .

Entering May, the second round of the playoffs kicked off, with two four-round duels between the east and the west, and the two groups staged on the first day undoubtedly attracted more attention.

Before the start of the season, the Celtics and the Heat in the East were once considered to be the two teams that staged the Eastern Conference Finals. Although this set of duels mentioned the second round, it did not affect people's attention. The new and old Big Three The duel is undoubtedly the biggest attraction.

The Warriors and Lakers in the West are both the top five most popular teams in the league. Coupled with the grievances between the two teams, the matchup between Kobe and Yang Shuai is also a matchup that has attracted much attention.

Because of the difference in time zones, this group of duels in the Eastern Conference took the lead. When the game between the Warriors and the Lakers was about to be staged, the duel between the Celtics and the Heat had already been decided. The Heat defeated Kyle 99:90 at home. Specialist, won the first victory.

"The players are about to play. LeBron's Heat won the first game, which will obviously stimulate Yang who is playing away. The Lakers lost the first round of the first game at home to the Trail Blazers. Maybe this will give The Zijin Army creates some pressure, of course, the biggest pressure comes from Yang."

Just when Barkley said this, Yang Shuai happened to enter the stadium, and there was boos at the scene.Perhaps it was because Yang Shuai watched the match before, the boos at the scene seemed to be more intense than when Yang Shuai appeared here before.

"No one is sure why Young came to Staples Center to watch the Lakers and Trail Blazers, but there is no doubt that Young is getting less and less popular in Los Angeles. Of course, this Maybe Los Angeles fans will hate Young even more after the matchup."

All Lakers fans could hear Barkley's implication, which also made the Lakers fans in front of the screen even more upset. Why would I hate that guy even more after this round of matchup? Maybe I would ignore that guy.

Regardless of whether the Lakers fans ignore or hate Yang Shuai after this round of matchup, at least no Lakers fan will like Yang Shuai now.

Cheers soon erupted in the Staples Arena. Yang Shuai knew that it was the players of the home team who were about to play. When he heard the cheers reached the highest level, Yang Shuai also turned his attention to the Lakers bench. He knew it must be Kobe appears.

"We met again." Looking at Kobe who was high-fiving his teammates one by one in the distance, Yang Shuai raised his lips slightly. Although this round of matchup is a matchup between two teams, it is also another round between Yang Shuai and Kobe. In the duel, the performance of these two people is related to the direction of this round of duel.

The starting players of both sides quickly stood near the middle circle, and the Lakers lineup was very neat. They had the same starting lineup as the two teams played against each other in the Western Conference Finals last season.Center Andrew Bynum, power forward Pau Gasol, small forward Ron Artest, shooting guard Kobe Bryant, point guard Derek Fisher.

Warriors starting lineup has not changed, center Tyson - Chandler, power forward Antawn - Jamison, small forward Yang Shuai, shooting guard Tyreke - Evans, point guard Kirk - Hinrich.

Bynum won the first attack for the Lakers, Fisher dribbled the ball to Kobe's hands at halftime, and the cheers on the scene became louder again at this time.

After catching the ball, he broke through quickly. Instead of handing the ball to his teammates, Kobe chose to attack by himself.On Bryant's side, Evans clung to the defense.Evans' defense is getting better and better. He was also nominated for the best defensive team this season. Although he did not enter the second team of the best defensive team in the end, it can be regarded as an affirmation of his defensive ability.

Kobe Bryant rushed forward without breaking through Evans' defense, and rushed forward to the front left of the free throw line. Kobe made an emergency stop jumper and hit two points.

Just like the Lakers' offense was handed over to Kobe, the Warriors' offense was directly handed over to Yang Shuai after halftime, and Yang Shuai also chose to break through.

After shaking to the right, he quickly started to rush to the left. Yang Shuai's start speed was very fast, so fast that Artest had to take a step back, but at this moment, Yang Shuai, who was rushing to the left, suddenly turned to the right He turned around and turned his back to Artest. Just as Artest moved his feet, Yang Shuai had turned around to face the basket again, and he rushed past Artest like the wind.

Bynum at the basket saw Yang Shuai rushing forward, and hurriedly stepped forward to defend, but this left Chandler in the air.Although Gasol quickly reacted and rushed back to the basket, Yang Shuai did not give him a chance to make up the defense. He threw the ball directly in the forward rush, and the ball went over Bynum's head to the right side of the basket.

Slam dunk may be Chandler's most familiar offensive method. Seeing that Pibuo came to the top of his head, he immediately jumped up without hesitation, took the basketball and dunked it into the basket hard.

"Bang!" A heavy dunk made Chandler jump up excitedly, which also made the cheers on the scene much quieter.

After halftime, Fisher handed the ball to Kobe again, and Kobe broke through again, but this time it was a false breakthrough. Just one step forward, the ball in his hand flew to the free throw line. Gasol hands.

Facing the basket after receiving the ball, Gasol tried to dribble and attack, but the ball was quickly hoisted to Bynum under the basket.

"Dick!" Bynum carried Chandler's forced attack. After the referee blew the whistle, Bynum also threw the ball to the basket.

"Coax!" The scene was soon overwhelmed by cheers, the basketball bounced in the air and fell into the basket, 2+1!

Bynum's penalty also hit, the score came to 2:5, the Lakers lead by 3 points.The offensive power came to the Warriors. This time, Hinrich did not pass the ball directly to Yang Shuai. When Yang Shuai used Yang Shuai to run to attract the Lakers' defensive attention, Hinrich handed the ball to Evans. .

After receiving the ball, Evans rushed to the basket quickly, and then distributed the ball to Jamison, who was running near the three-point line on the right. It fell into the hands of Kobe.

Kobe, who grabbed the backcourt rebound, dribbled towards the half court by himself. Evans failed to keep up with Kobe in time. Seeing that Kobe was about to rush into the three-point line, Yang Shuai hurriedly abandoned Artest. Come forward to block.

Bryant did not choose Yang Shuai singles but quickly passed the ball out, the target is not at this time Hinrich caught up with the defensive Artest but Derek Fisher outside the three-point line.

After receiving the ball, Fisher's surroundings were still in a defensive vacuum, and Lao Yu naturally would not let go of such an opportunity. He made a decisive shot from outside the three-point line and made a shot.

2:8, looking at such a score, Yang Shuai chose to attack by himself.Artest was stuck in the middle distance, and Yang Shuai raised his hand to catch Hinrich's pass, and then squeezed back.

Artest's strength is really abnormal, pushing back with Yang Shuai's super strength only allowed Artest to move his footsteps a little, and exerted his strength again. Yang Shuai squeezed back again, at this moment he suddenly Sensing the flash of a figure on the side, he immediately grabbed the ball in his hand with a tightening heart.

Yang Shuai's movement was really fast, which also made Kobe's right hand empty, but after seeing Yang Shuai picked up the ball, Kobe quickly posted it up, and Artest moved Yang Shuai one by one. caught in the middle.

Holding the ball with both hands above his head, Yang Shuai quickly threw the ball to Evans who was outside the three-point line. After receiving the pass, Evans chose to shoot directly from outside the three-point line.

I don't know if it was because he didn't find his form after the opening or was interfered by Gasol rushing from the inside. Evans' ball also bounced out of the basket. The Lakers player who caught the backcourt rebound did not blindly launch a fast break.Falling into the position After the battle, Gasol and Kobe moved to the distance after the pick-and-roll. Kobe seized the opportunity that Jamison did not keep up with the first time and sent the ball to the Spaniard. Gasol made a mid-range shot with 2:10 , less than 3 minutes into the game, the point difference between the two teams was widened to 8 points.

Old Nelson did not call a timeout, and Hinrich directly put the ball into the hands of Yang Shuai after halftime.After receiving the ball, he quickly moved a step to the right and rushed forward. With the help of Jamison's cover, Yang Shuai rushed to the basket quickly.

Gasol and Artest intercepted at the same time, but Yang Shuai still rushed into the three-second zone, leaning on Gasol and jumping, Yang Shuai picked out the ball with his right hand.

"Squeak!" The third defensive player appeared at this time. Bynum rushed forward from the side, swept his fingers under the basketball, the ball changed direction and hit the backboard and bounced back. After the rebound, he quickly threw the ball into the hands of Kobe in front of him.

Bryant made a fast break dunk, 2:12.
