After the Cavaliers advanced, Barkley commented that day, saying: "Last year, Michael Jordan, who had gained weight on his face, heard that the Cavaliers were eliminated, a strange smile appeared on his lips! Do you know what that means? The seven-year itch must be the fate of two generations No. 23. Not to mention the championship, even Yao Ming and McGrady were forced to deduct a seven-year itch after breaking through the first round! Since James entered the NBA, his stay and departure have always been a major event in the league. The Cavaliers don't have many chips. Judging from the current salary and free market resources, it is difficult for the Clevelanders to catch big fish like Pippen or even Arte! When seven years have passed, how long will the emperor have to wait? Unless his godfather Stern changes the draft rules in a angrily manner: the team with the best record has the No. 1 pick..."

Barkley believes that James cannot replicate Jordan this season because Brand is not Pippen, Moon is as hard as Rodman, and of course because he does not have the referee who is in high spirits in the 1990s!

"I think Stern couldn't help but sigh in the face of the chaotic script: The referee is really worse than the other! A technical foul for no reason, and then a cancellation for no reason, the media finally didn't have to worry about finding news materials! Recalling the past, the other No. 23 frowned and had free throws, one hitter + one pusher = a perfect kill forever! At that time, Ma Long's hand was probably swollen, and Russell was pushed down even more unjustly! The referee level in the 1990s was so high that when you replay the classics many years later, you realized, oh, it turned out that it was a misjudgment!"

Barkley's jealousy towards Jordan made everyone smell it through the words. When the retired old man saw Barkley's article, he smiled and refused to comment. Of course, he was cursing in his heart: "Big ass. Damn it!"

The mainstream American media has temporarily focused on the Los Angeles Lakers. In the entire regular season, except for the initial stage, the Lakers are considered the biggest favorites in the West who have the chance to appear in the finals. Kobe and James are currently recognized as one of the best players in the NBA. Many people hope to stage the finals battle between the Lakers and the Cavaliers, because 24vs23 has never been staged.

However, after the Clippers easily entered the Western Conference Finals, the Cavaliers were still as strong as they were. However, the Lakers still had to continue fighting with the Spurs in hand to hand, and the media's optimism about them was naturally a sharp decline with Japan. The Clippers, who are also in Los Angeles, have already killed the Rockets in five games. Watch the sixth battle between the Lakers and the Spurs. Now more and more people are questioning whether the Lakers can compete with the Clippers, and even whether they can see the Clippers?

There is no doubt that the Lakers are strong, but what they lack is their stable performance in every game. This is also the reason why the media is not optimistic about the Lakers becoming the Western Conference champion at this time, except for Lakers fans.

Barkley, who served as a commentator at TNT, finished black Jordan this week. Continuing the Black Zen Master, he said: "The Clippers and the Cavaliers are the best teams I have seen in the playoffs. I think the Clippers will still make it to the Finals, and the Lakers are playing too unstable."

Barkley's commentator Kenny Smith also agreed with his statement, "The Lakers can be regarded as the best team in the league, and maybe they are excellent from the first to the sixth. They also know this very well, so they are proud, and it is precisely because of their conceit that their performance on the court is surprising."

On May 17, the Lakers and the Spurs played their sixth Western Conference semi-final matchup. After the opening, the situation was unexpectedly one-sided. Duncan frequently made shots, and the Spurs started with a 15-2 attack wave. However, the Lakers missed a continuous shot and failed to make a goal in the first 5 minutes. They only scored two points with free throws. It was not until 6 minutes and 30 seconds left in this quarter that Kobe scored a strong score at the basket.

The Spurs once led by 18 points 22-4. In the first 8 minutes, the Lakers only made one goal.

More than the last minute of this quarter, the Lakers made two three-pointers to narrow the gap slightly, and fell behind 15-27 in the first quarter.

Duncan scored 14 points in the first quarter, while Kobe scored only 4 points.

Kobe made a shot after the start of the second quarter, and the Lakers scored 4 points in a row, but Jamison and Ginobili immediately made consecutive three-pointers to return, and the Spurs opened the gap again.

The Spurs made a three-pointer in this quarter, and with 5 minutes and 50 seconds left, Parker also made a three-pointer, and the Spurs led 44-26.

In the second quarter, Ginobili was hit on the face while defending Kobe. The demon sword suppressed his anger and refused to argue with Kobe. The referee gave Kobe a technical foul.

Before the end of the first half, Jamison made another three-pointer, and the Spurs led by 19 points 55-36.

Duncan scored 18 points and 9 rebounds in the first half. Kobe made only 6 of 16 shots, scored 14 points, and only assisted 1 times.

In the second half, the Lakers started the third quarter with a 9-0 wave, chasing the score to 45-55 in one fell swoop.

With 8 minutes and 56 seconds left in the third quarter, the Spurs scored 2 points with Duncan's tip-off.

The Lakers' bad touch in the first half seemed to be transferred to the Spurs. In the first 6 minutes and 30 seconds of this quarter, the Spurs only made one goal. After the Lakers scored 16-2, they tied the score to 52-57.

Jamison scored 3 points with 5 minutes and 16 seconds left in this quarter. The Spurs regained their feelings and scored 8-2 after a wave, and then led 64-54.

The Spurs held their position, Duncan made a mid-range shot before the end of this quarter, and the Spurs led 78-65 into the last quarter.

In the fourth quarter, the Spurs became more and more courageous. Parker made a shot with 3 minutes and 50 seconds left in the game. Then Finley defended Kobe to shoot for "three nostalgia". Ginobili hit again when his body lost balance, and the Spurs opened the gap 93-75.

Kobe was forced to fight hard and kept fighting, but the effect was not good.

The Lakers have not been able to narrow the gap to less than 10 points since then, and have to play in the seventh game away against the Spurs.

The Lakers' poor performance has made more and more people lose confidence in it. Now everyone is looking forward to the Western Conference Finals between the Clippers and the Spurs. Mark Jackson, who served as a commentator on ABC TV, said after the Lakers' Spurs' sixth game: "This playoff has made me know one thing. There is no problem with the accumulation of stars, but if the chemistry is not good, no matter how gorgeous the lineup is, it will not be able to win."

That's right, the Lakers' luxury paper strength is better than the Spurs. However, their execution is much worse than the Spurs. Even the Clippers may not be able to match.

Fortunately, the person who coached this Lakers was Phil Jackson. If he changed to a coach with insufficient reputation, the Lakers might repeat the tragedy of F4 in 2004.

But even now, their f4 facing the Spurs is at a disadvantage. The total score is 3:3. The Spurs will decide their destiny at their home court. Although it seems that the Lakers still have a chance, unless Kobe continues to perform a crazy performance in the fifth game, he will want to defeat the Spurs in San Antonio. The difficulty is not ordinary.

On the same day, the Celtics lost to the Horror Warcraft away. Howard's double 20 data helped the team save the suspense to the last game. Now the two semi-final matches between the East and the East have all reached the seventh game.

The Clippers and the Cavaliers said it didn't matter. They would rest for two more days and they could gain enough energy to bully their semi-final opponents.

Especially the Clippers, the Spurs they hope to qualify now. It is said that Ginobili's ankle injury has not been cured. Now he is fighting to the seventh game. Do you think the big bald man will die?

Anyway, when Ji Guohuo was watching the game, he kept cursing the teams on both sides that it would be better to get one or two injured. They will have a greater advantage in the division finals.

On May 19, the Lakers and Spurs will play again.

The Spurs have really taught the Lakers a vivid teaching class until now, so that they can know how to play.

First of all, you have to focus on one game and focus on one team. No one can underestimate the other. Even if you are Kobe, even if you are Jackson, what's wrong with the Lakers? What's wrong with the regular season 1:3? Whether you are leading or falling behind, I still play my tactics, still play team basketball, use serious attitude and collective strength to offset your talent.

If you want to win in NBA, please pay attention to the other party first!

Now that six games have passed, the Lakers will never dare to look down on the Spurs again. At the beginning of the series, the Lakers felt that they were sure to win because they had the capital to underestimate the enemy. If there wasn't one game in the regular season, they could kill the Spurs four times.

It was the regular season that easily won, allowing them to compare the Spurs to the old and broken car, and Lakers fans also shouted the slogan to end the battle in five games.

The Lakers do have the strength. They can defeat the Spurs away, but they can also be reversed at home. This is the Lakers. They underestimate the opponent too much and are too unstable.

Talent is a shared word on this Lakers. Their five starters are talented enough, and they also have Odom, but the Spurs are not bad, and they play more like a team than a loose person. No matter how talented a team is, you can't win if you play five people by one. Even if you can win, you can only win one game.

A team that is determined to win the championship is full of arrogance. The Spurs once again taught the Lakers a good lesson today.

After the opening, the situation was unexpectedly one-sided. Duncan made frequent shots in the previous game, but the Lakers were crushed by pressure. He was intercepted by the Spurs several times and did not make any shots. His first 12 shots were missed, including the layup that was close at hand, and Gasol actually missed.

However, the Spurs turned pressure into motivation and launched a tight defense from the beginning. The precision-like mixed defense of the machine did not allow the Lakers to shoot a goal in the first 7 minutes, and started 13-0.

The Lakers did not make a layup until 4 minutes and 44 seconds left in this quarter.

After the first quarter, the Lakers fell behind 12-23.

Shortly after the start of the second quarter, the Lakers narrowed the gap to 9 points, but this was the smallest gap between the two teams since then. Duncan raised high and fought back with one goal, Jamison made a three-pointer, and the Spurs scored 11-2, and opened the gap 34-14.

With 1 minute and 30 seconds left in the quarter, Duncan hit another hook shot, and the Spurs led by 2 points 52-25.

The Lakers then scored 5 points in a row with Kobe and fell behind 30-52 in the first half.

The Lakers made only 12 of 40 shots in the first two quarters, including 1 of 9 three-pointers.

In the second half, the Spurs continued to lead by a big score, and Matt Bonner yawned all the time on the sidelines.

Shortly after the start of the third quarter, the Lakers narrowed the gap to 18 points, but Ginobili immediately re-pointed with three-pointers, the Spurs scored 7 points in a row, and opened the gap 59-34.

Although the Spurs' shooting percentage is not high in this quarter, they maintain an advantage of more than 20 points most of the time. After three quarters, they led 70-50.

In the fourth quarter, the Lakers accelerated and tried to launch a final counterattack, but after the speed increased, the shooting percentage failed to increase, which gave the Spurs the opportunity to counterattack. Parker made a quick move. After the Spurs scored 9-2, they led by 26 points with 6 minutes to 82-56.
