Chapter 317 Strongly advance to the Western Conference Finals
With the Warriors gaining match point with a total score of 3-0, it indicates that this series is basically over.
In the long history of the NBA, there has never been a team that can complete a comeback from 0 to 3 down.
It can be said that the Lakers have basically said goodbye to this season.
The only thing they can do now is to avoid being swept by the Warriors and prevent themselves from losing so miserably.
Since the outcome of the series between the Warriors and Lakers is not very suspenseful, fans have begun to pay attention to several other series.
The second game of the series between the Thunder and the Spurs still had to be decided at the last minute.
Parker played bravely, scoring a near-double-double with 34 points and 8 assists, leading the team to a thrilling win.
After the Spurs won another victory at home, they took a 2-0 lead with a total score. As long as they win again in the next game, they will have one foot within the threshold of the Western Conference Finals.
After this game, almost everyone was optimistic that the Spurs would advance to the Western Conference Finals.
But something unexpected happened, and there was a turning point in the next game.
Returning to their home court, the Thunder fought back against the odds. The players broke out collectively and their offense was as smooth and silky as Dove chocolate.
At the same time, they limited the Spurs' scoring to less than 80 points through strong defense.
In the end, the Thunder defeated the Spurs 102-80, bringing the total score to 1-2.
After this game, the series between the Thunder and the Spurs became confusing and full of suspense again.
In the East, the series between the Bulls and the Pacers is one-sided.
A healthy Bulls team can definitely deserve the honor of being first in the Eastern Conference.
Under the leadership of Rose, the Bulls not only have fierce offensive firepower, but also fierce defense. They are nicknamed the Little Warriors of the Eastern Conference by fans.
When the Pacers faced the Bulls, who had an integrated offense and defense, they simply couldn't resist it. They lost three games in a row, falling behind 0-3 with a total score of 0-3, which was basically a death sentence.
In another group of Eastern Conference semifinals, the Heat and the Numbers were inextricably tied.
In G2 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals, the Heat took the lead in making adjustments and changed their previous tactical strategy of blindly shooting from the outside.
James, Wade and others worked together to attack the inside line and cause damage.
At the same time, they also adopted "killing Huo tactics" to interfere with Howard's offensive rhythm.
As soon as this plan came out, Howard encountered a foul crisis. He was timid on both offense and defense, and his mentality was a bit unbalanced. His game was not as happy as in the first game.
After solving Howard's problem, the Heat pursued the victory. James and Wade broke out one after another and won this hard-won victory.
In the next Eastern Conference semifinals G3, the Heat repeated their old tricks and wanted to win again.
The digital team is not so easy to figure out, and they can find a way to deal with James' breakthrough through adjustments.
After James was targeted and defended, Wade was unable to fight with his two fists and failed to turn the tide.
In the end, the Digital People relied on their strong defense to narrowly defeat the Heat 89-84, struggling to maintain their home court advantage.
After the first three games of the second round series, some people were happy and some were sad.
The Warriors and Bulls have already entered the Eastern and Western Conference finals, and it is only a matter of time before they advance.
The Heat and Thunder struggled hard and tried to fight back to have the last laugh.
The situation is over for the Lakers and Pacers, and they will only fight for dignity next;
The Spurs and the Numbers Team are considering how to expand their lead and maintain the fruits of victory until the end.
Seeing the hype on the Internet that the Warriors are expected to advance to the Western Conference Finals, Sun Yi didn't have any troubles in his heart and continued to train without changing his original intention.
Before the final result comes out, anything can happen.
At the same time, he did not forget to remind his teammates to guard against arrogance and impetuosity and train hard for the next game.
If the Warriors lost this series because they took it lightly and underestimated their opponents, it would be quite an explosion in the circle of shame.
With the warning from Sun Yi and the double buff bonus of chicken soup for the soul instilled by head coach Nelson, some players of the Warriors suddenly woke up and prepared for the next game with all their strength...
…
On May 20, the Western Conference semifinals G4 between the Warriors and the Lakers continued at Staples Arena.
Before the game started, the atmosphere in the locker rooms of the two teams was very different.
The players of the Warriors are relatively relaxed and are ready to go all out to sweep the Lakers and advance to the Western Conference Finals to avoid long nights and dreams.
The Lakers locker room was filled with a chilling atmosphere. Kobe and others looked serious, listening carefully to the final arrangements made by head coach Phil Jackson.
They didn't want to leave like this, they wanted to fight to the death and compete with the Warriors in an upright manner.
After the game started, the Lakers showed their determination to fight to the bitter end. Their offensive firepower was very fierce and they quickly seized the opportunity.
The Warriors quickly made adjustments, sending out five death defenses to consume the Lakers' energy, and then waited until the critical moment to let Sun Yi harvest the game.
After the first quarter of the game, the Lakers relied on their opening wave of offensive climax to enter the second quarter with a 6-point lead.
After the start of the second quarter, the Warriors immediately made tactical adjustments, speeding up the offensive pace and switching to run-and-gun tactics.
Sun Yi and a group of substitutes galloped on the court, running and gunning, which was quite a mess.
The Lakers unknowingly fell into the Warriors' rhythm and could only run back and forth.
In the second half of the second quarter, Sun Yi felt that he could close the net, so he immediately opened up his firepower and penetrated the inside to cause damage.
Sun Yi is the most popular player in the league today. He still has a whistle, unlike Curry who doesn’t have a cylinder.
When Sun Yi started killing everyone, the Lakers were in trouble.
With the decline in physical fitness, the movements of post players such as Gasol began to deform, causing them to be unable to control their movements when assisting in defense, thus paying for fouls again and again.
When Gasol and others fell into a foul crisis, the Lakers' inside line was riddled with holes.
Seeing that the inside was beaten, the Lakers had no choice at all.
They did not dare to rashly shrink their defense back into the penalty area.
If they really do that, what awaits the Lakers is one wave after another of three-pointers.
With Sun Yi's explosion in the second half of the second quarter, the Warriors achieved a comeback and entered the second half with a 4-point lead.
The short intermission ended and the second half began.
After the third quarter of the game started, the Warriors stopped pretending, showed their cards, and launched an all-out attack!
The Lakers, who had been consumed for half the game, were weak in spirit and power, unable to withstand the ferocious firepower of the Warriors, and were beaten back and forth.
The Warriors took the opportunity to play a wave of attacks that they are good at, widening the point difference.
Seeing that there was no suspense about the outcome of the game, who would have thought that Kobe suddenly broke out in the final quarter and scored consecutively to close the score.
Sun Yi will definitely not coddle Kobe and take the initiative to ask to defend Nao Nai alone.
With just a few moves, he completed a steal and a block on Kobe, completely suppressing the momentum of the chatter.
There were no accidents in the rest of the game. The Warriors relied on their fierce defense to repel the Lakers' attacks time and time again, successfully holding on to their lead.
In the end, the Warriors defeated the Lakers 97-90.
