Teams in the West that made the playoffs: 1 Los Angeles Lakers, 2 Portland Trail Blazers, 3 San Antonio Spurs, 4 Sacramento Kings, 5 Utah Jazz, 6 Phoenix Suns, 7 Seattle SuperSonics, 8 Houston Rockets!

Due to the appearance of Lamar, the Lakers' record has changed a lot from their previous life, resulting in a small butterfly effect. www.biquge.info The Minnesota Timberwolves, who originally entered the playoffs, were overtaken by the Houston Rockets in the final stage and did not make the playoffs!

On April 23, the Rockets players arrived in Los Angeles, and the Lakers fans warmly welcomed them along the way, but unfortunately the welcome was not very civilized!

Fortunately, the Los Angeles people don't look down on the Rockets players, and now everyone knows that the Lakers can easily eliminate the Rockets and enter the second round, so the boos for the Rockets players are not too big.

I don't know if the Rockets players should cry or laugh when they know that the reason why they didn't get much resistance from the fans is this.

It's no wonder that Lakers fans despise the Rockets, that's the case, the record is there! The current Rockets team is really not the opponent of the Lakers, the two teams met three times in the regular season, and the Lakers won all three games, if you add the preseason game, then the Lakers will win 4:0! In the face of the Lakers, the Rockets have no resistance at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends.

At seven p.m. on April 7, the Lakers are at home at Staples Center.

In the locker room of the home team, the Lakers players couldn't see the tension of the upcoming life-and-death battle on their faces, for the Rockets, they were really not afraid at all, even a little nervous, except for Lamar, this guy is very excited now.

"Wouldn't that be bad if we just killed the Houstonians? Maybe it would be psychologically traumatic for Steve. Lamar asked with a smile as he sat in his chair.

The other players laughed as well, and Horry shrugged and said, "Guys, we're actually helping them, wouldn't it be nice to let them go on vacation sooner? ”

Shaq wants to tell his teammates not to take the opponent lightly, but even he can't put the Rockets players in his eyes, so how can he remind his teammates?

"We'd better be careful! Neither Steve nor the old fellow are easy people to deal with, and they may have come with revenge. "Our goal this season is to win the championship, I don't want to see us fall in the first round because of a slight defeat, if that happens, then we should know what the fans in Los Angeles will think of us!"

Shaq nodded approvingly, Phil pushed the door and walked in, he took out the tactical board and began to deploy tactics: "Just like before, we have to run when we attack, and be tough when we defend." Kobe, Steve is over to you! I don't want to see him score twenty points in this game! Chauncey, I think you should have no problem with Mobley, right? Shaq, Big Dream old guy is over to you, Lamar, you're ready to make up for it, you know? Can't let their core easily get into the box and score!" Lamar yelled with Shaq, looking like he was in a good position.

"Kill the Houstonians and prepare for the next round!" Lamar stood up and said to his teammates solemnly, "Championship, we want to win!"

The Lakers players looked up, their eyes burning even more.

Since entering 2000, the league is more concerned about the progress of NBA globalization, so CCTV from China broadcast the game live, and the Lakers appeared in front of the Chinese people for the first time in the playoffs.

The lineup on the Lakers' side is: center Shaq O'Neal, power forward Lamar Odom, small forward Ramon Murray, scoring guard Kobe Bryant, and playmaking guard Chancey Billups.

This is the lineup that the Lakers usually use in the regular season. And it was also relying on this lineup that the Lakers took out the Rockets three times to win. Shaq is now very good at defending Olajuwon and he is always able to keep Olajuwon away from the box as much as possible to make him as dangerous as possible. The current Shaq is not the rookie who has just entered the league, think about Shak's abnormal performance when he faced the big dream, and look at his current performance!

The lineup on the Rockets' side is: center Hakeem Olajuwon, power forward Glen Davis, small forward Larry Baines, scoring guard Catino Mobley, and playmaking guard Steve Francis.

Rudy Tomjanovic also knows that it is dangerous to face the Lakers with such a lineup, but this is the most reasonable lineup he can come up with, and the offense and defense are excellent, even if they can't keep up with the pace of the Lakers' offense, it will not be too bad.

However, if you want to come to the playoffs, you will not be able to go far in the playoffs by blindly relying on offense. It's the thoughts that inspire Houston fans, and only then do they ignore the pundits' prediction that the "Rockets will be struck!" dilemma.

"Guys, you should know why this old guy Rodman is on this team, you should know Rodman's age and physical condition, this year is our best chance to win the championship! I don't allow anyone to drag the team back in the series, you know? Win for Rodman, guys. Victory!" Shaq shouted loudly as he gathered all the players together before the kick-off.

"Must-win! Lakers!must-win!" the Lakers players clasped their hands together and followed Shaq to roar loudly.

"Go on!" Shaq tore off his coat and threw it on the floor, his face bruised and his eyes glowing with bloodthirst, like a savage fighter about to rush to the gladiatorial arena.

The moment a Lakers player steps onto the court. The fans in the arena stood up together and shouted, "Lakers, go ahead!" Go ahead!"

The Lakers players shook their fists at the fans and slapped their chests together. Vowed to win this game.

The referee threw the ball on the floor, and as soon as the basketball was shot, Shaq jumped up as if he was stepping on a spring, reached out and touched the ball to Billups.

Lamar gave Shaq the ball to the first attack, and it was undoubtedly the most appropriate for him to single Olajuwon.

In this kind of important game, it is important to score a goal on the first attack to boost the morale of the opponent as much as possible.

Shaq is a veteran, he knows how to come, leaning on Olajuwon's chest, Shaq slammed back! The big hand slapped the ball back and then hit it back fiercely again, the current Olajuwon couldn't stop Shak's hard hit at all, he was directly squeezed out of a gap.

With a gap behind him, Shaq turned around and slapped the ball and continued to arch to the basket!

Shaq stopped slightly, and when Olajuwon was stuck behind him again, Shaq made a hidden elbow swing and turned around Olajuwon. This time, Olajuwon didn't have the strength to go up again.

The elbow hit him right in the lower abdomen, making it hard for him to breathe.

Lamar jammed Davis and left him with no chance to make up for it, and Shaq held the ball with both hands and poured it into the hoop.

This slam dunk ignited the offensive passion of the Lakers players, and Shaq slapped his chest vigorously and yelled at Olajuwon: "Welcome to the playoffs, old bird!

Facing Shaq with a hideous expression, Olajuwon couldn't help but feel a trace of helplessness in his heart! In his heart, Shaq was no longer the young rookie, but a bloodthirsty prehistoric giant shark! He was old, and he was no longer the big brother who could easily beat him.

"Give it to Big Dream!" Rudy shouted at Mobley, the first ball for Olajuwon to play the safest.

Olajuwon stuck Shaq to ask for the ball, and Shaq pushed Olajuwon's waist hard to push him out, but at this time Olajuwon was still quite strong. He is not much worse than Shaq in terms of strength, and he also has his own unique skills.

Olajuwon's shoulder flicked quickly when he got the ball, and he cut off Shaq on the left side with the ball, and Shaq was more agile than Olajuwon. He stepped out with his big foot and pressed against Olajuwon's waist again. However, it was only a feint by Olajuwon, who turned around and cut in from Shaq's right side while holding the ball. Raise the ball with his right hand, flick his wrist easily, and send the ball into the hoop.

"Well done!" Steve cheered at Olajuwon, nothing unusual about the hook. The point is that just now Lamar chased up from behind and wanted to quietly give Olajuwon a big hat, but Olajuwon suddenly raised the height of his shot, so that this block became delusional.

Lamar shook his head stupidly, and Shaq smiled, "Do you still want to crush them at the beginning? man, be patient, the Houstonians are the eighth team in the West after all." ”

Shaq said this, but it didn't mean that he didn't want to end the fight as soon as possible!

The Lakers players rushed across the half court like a gust of wind, and the Lakers rushed through almost as fast as they could. After all, Olajuwon is already old, and once he is physically exhausted, the inside line of the Rockets will be scum! Lamar is very keenly aware of this, so he signaled to Chauncy to speed up the offense and defense slightly!

Rudy has also thought about this situation for a long time, his team has a fairly good playmaker, as long as Steve can get stuck Billups, the Lakers' roller will have no engine, and it doesn't matter how fast the Lakers run. (To be continued.) )
