Chapter 355 Finals Opponent Revealed

In a training facility at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, the Lakers players discussed yesterday's Eastern Conference finals after finishing recovery training and tactical analysis of the Spurs.

Odom said: "I didn't expect the Hawks to really enter the finals. I always feel that even if the Celtics fall behind 3:1, they still have a good chance to come back."

Luke Walton said: "It can only be said that the Hawks are underestimated, especially their small ball lineup, which disrupted the deployment of the Celtics."

Fisher said indifferently: "Come on, the Eagles just finished a sneak attack.

Their fundamentals are superstar singles.Just look at the numbers of Kraft Nguyen and Joe Johnson in G5.

When it comes to maximizing the use efficiency of superstars, there is no more perfect tactic than the 'triangular tactic'. "

After the old fish said this, he even took a peek at Phil Jackson. This flattery really made people feel refreshed.

Kobe said to his sister-in-law, "What do you think, Paul?"

After thinking about it, Gasol hugged his shoulders and said, "I don't care about the situation in the Eastern Conference right now. Let's deal with the Spurs first."

To be honest, in the past few games, Gasol has been beaten by Duncan almost every game. He really has no interest in discussing his opponent in the next round.In his view, the top priority is to get rid of the Spurs first.

Kobe said: "Okay, after we win the Western Conference championship, we will discuss the opponents in the finals."

Since he got Jiasao, Kobe has always taken the initiative to maintain Jiasao's status in the team intentionally or unintentionally. Even in the first four games in the Western Conference, Gasol did not get cheap from Deng Daidai, but Kobe understood very well that changing someone Going up, I'm afraid it's not as simple as being blown up.

That's right, Mrs. Jia was indeed beaten by Daidai, but from an overall point of view, Mrs. Jia has indeed restricted Daidai to a certain extent, and this cannot be reflected from the data .

The Lakers use Jordan's rule two against the Spurs, and the target is the No. 21 rookie.

The players didn't put too much energy on the Hawks, but Phil Jackson, the head coach, was very concerned.

On the surface, the Hawks eliminated the powerful Celtics, which should be quite beneficial to the Lakers.

There is even a school of thought that it is a matter of time before the Lakers win the championship, and the league is favoring the Zijin nobles.

But Zen Master doesn’t think so. The Hawks can kill the Celtics 4:1, which means that they are at least not weaker than the Celtics in terms of overall strength. Only stupid guys will believe that the league will favor the Lakers. statement.

His assistant coach and inventor of the triangle offense, Tex Winter, saw the old man's concern at a glance.

Old Winter is more strict than Jackson in training. It is said that even Jordan will be criticized by him. Due to physical reasons, this must be his last season as an NBA coach, but he has 9 A championship ring (Bulls 6 + Lakers 3) can already explain everything.

"Are you worried about Atlanta's small-ball game, Phil?" Tex Winter said with a laugh.

Jackson said: "Do you say that the future of the league will really become an era of rapid offensive and defensive transition?"

Old Winter smiled again: "Of course, if the next Olajuwon or O'Neal does not appear in the league, it must be a matter of time. Old man, maybe the good days of the triangle offense are really coming to an end. faster and faster!"

Phil Jackson shook his head and said: "No, I still think that in the playoffs, there is no tactic that can play the super giant's personal ability better than the triangle offense. Turk, I don't think our era will end. "

Old Winter was very open to these, and he continued: "Yes, your era is not over yet, but mine is coming to an end."

Phil Jackson suddenly said firmly: "Give me a good life, and I will definitely lift you into the Hall of Fame."

Tex Winter said: "Don't worry, I'll get in alive, and hopefully I won't have to buy a ticket then."

When it was over, both of them laughed.

On May 2008, 5, at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, the Game 29 of the Western Conference Finals between the Lakers and the Spurs was about to start.

Since the Lakers took a big lead to get the match point, fans in Los Angeles are generally optimistic that the Lakers can advance to the finals.

The Spurs in even-numbered years are still strong, but to a large extent, they exist for the whetstone of the final championship.

Thinking about how the Eagles defeated the Spurs in the away game during the regular season, and then thinking about how the Lakers suppressed the Spurs in the Western Conference Finals, it is not difficult to find that if they want to win the championship, the Spurs are the hurdle that cannot be avoided.

As soon as G5 started, the Spurs showed the courage to break the boat. Mike Finley and Tim Duncan were the best players in the first quarter of the game. They scored 8 and 7 points in a single quarter respectively.

As for the Lakers, Radmanovich and Kobe scored a team-high 5 points and 4 points respectively.

At 28:15, the first quarter ended. The Lakers trailed their opponents by 13 points at home. This pit is really not small.

Maybe they are really thinking about their opponents in the finals, but the old Spurs told the Lakers a reality that the Western Conference Finals are not over yet.

In the second quarter of the game, Kobe Bryant stood up. He made 6 of 4 shots in a single quarter, made 1 of 1 free throw, and scored 9 points and 1 assist in a single quarter.Er Niu's senior at UCLA, Jordan Farmar, also performed well. He made 6 of 3 shots in a single quarter and scored 6 points, recovering a lot of points for the Lakers in the second quarter.

For the Spurs, only Brent Barry played well, making 3 of 2 three-pointers in a single quarter, scoring 6 points, 1 rebound, and 1 assist.

At 20:27, the Lakers recovered 7 points in a single quarter.

At the end of the first half, at 48:42, the Spurs entered the second half with a 6-point advantage.

The third quarter of the game can be described as a watershed in the entire game.

In the first half of this quarter, to be precise, it should be before the last 5 minutes and 19 seconds of the third quarter. The Lakers were playing a hard role in catching up, but it was difficult to catch up.

But in the last 5 minutes or so, the situation on the field changed suddenly. The Lakers played a wave of 14:7 counterattacks, and in the last half minute, with a 3-pointer from Radmanovic, they completed the game. A go-ahead score.

At 15:22, the Lakers recovered 7 points in a single quarter.

Kobe turned on the singles mode again, scoring 9 points and 1 assist in a single quarter. Odom was very focused in this quarter, scoring 6 points, 5 rebounds, and 1 assist, helping the Lakers overtake their opponents.

In the last quarter of the game, it completely became Kobe Bryant's performance time.

Although the Spurs have narrowed the score more than once, they have no power to parry in the face of Kobe who has entered the killing mode.

In this quarter, Kobe made 11 of 6 shots, 3 of 1 three-pointers, and 4 of 4 free throws. He scored 17 points and 1 assist in a single quarter, completely ending the suspense of the game.

At 29:36, the Lakers kept suppressing the Spurs in the last quarter, and they won G5.

When countless ribbons floated down from the sky and the Lakers started to celebrate wildly, the Spurs knew that their 07-08 season was over.

No matter how strong they are in odd-numbered years, in the second year, they can't cover up their weakness in even-numbered years.

The Spurs are indeed a strong force in the West, but this season, they should go home to drink and fish now.

Daidai would not say jokes like "the future is yours" to Kobe.They are all thousand-year-old foxes, so there is no need to play Liaozhai.

"Good luck, Kobe, the Eagles are not weak at all!" Daidai said.

Kobe smiled: "Tim, I will catch up with your ring count!"

　Kobe has 07 rings in the 08-3 season, Duncan has 4, the third is slower, can't wait to see tomorrow
