Although they have previously praised the Los Angeles Lakers in the newspapers, calling them the strongest contenders for the championship this season.

Especially when Shaq and Kobe Bryant broke out one after another, bringing the total score to 3:0, they even prepared the title of today's sweep.

It's just that the situation has changed a little now, but this has not affected their good mood in the slightest.

The sonic power continued, and Phil Jackson felt as if he was surrounded by countless flies, and these eyeless flies were still burrowing into his ears, which made him very annoyed.

I don't know if it's a short circuit in the brain, or if there's really something wrong with the nerves, Cuban suddenly had a vision in his head, as if he was back to the scene when he killed the New Jersey Nets last season and won the championship. The reporters around him were not attacking him, but turned into a cheering crowd.

In front of everyone's eyes, Phil Jackson suddenly showed an extremely idiotic smile, which frightened a reporter who had just entered the industry to faint on the spot, and then his expression became extremely proud.

"Cheers! For the great Los Angeles Lakers!" was this sentence, which made the reporters who were still noisy just now instantly quieted down, and the crowd stopped crowding forward, and all stood in place.

Reporters are speculating in their minds about how Phil Jackson could be so calm after the humiliating incident of his team being slaughtered by the Warriors?

Was Phil Jackson really confident and intentional?

As soon as Phil Jackson's words came out, his head was instantly clear, and he even became deaf and clear. He also realized that he had done a very idiotic thing, and his old face immediately turned red as a traffic light.

After more than a dozen seconds of unbearable silence, the crowd burst into laughter.

Fei'er could clearly feel a wave of heat coming towards him, and found that the reporters seemed to be laughing, taking this opportunity he couldn't care about anything else, and his already slightly staggering steps became extremely agile at this moment, and he bypassed the reporters' encirclement and got into the car and left.

"It's unbelievable!" Dampoter's eyes widened, their simple brains probably couldn't figure out how the Lakers were going to play in a hundred years.

"It's not unbelievable, when Phil said that in front of the media, I knew they definitely didn't have good fruit to eat! Obviously three consecutive championships made him lose himself! Maybe the Los Angeles Lakers are much stronger than the Golden State Warriors, but sometimes on the court it doesn't have to be about strength to decide the outcome of the game. ”

"When the strong one has lost his mind, and the weak one has been red with anger, things will often turn around! The Los Angeles Lakers should not despise the Golden State Warriors, this is the playoffs after all, and the team that can finally break into the playoffs will not be despised all the time!"

After listening to Lamar's tirade, Alan Houston said with a smile: "Listen to you as if you are the head coach of the Warriors! Lamar, do you think the Golden State Warriors will continue to be mighty and finally achieve a big comeback after falling behind 3-0? Do the Lakers still have a chance to become our opponent in the Finals?"

"Of course not!" Lamar shook his head: "The Warriors are not enough, as long as the Los Angeles Lakers come to their senses, the power of the OK combination is not something they can resist! As for our opponent in the Finals? I think the Lakers are a bit hanging this year!"

If Lamar is not mistaken, according to history, the Lakers will definitely not be the Knicks' ultimate opponent this year.

As Lamar predicted, the Warriors' miracle ended here, the Lakers finally woke up after a heavy defeat, and the Los Angeles Lakers also showed the strength that the defending champions should have. In the fifth game, he won the Golden State Warriors bloodlessly, and finally turned the total score into 4:1 and successfully entered the Western Conference semifinals.

The first round of the playoffs cleared, and the league's best eight teams came out on top after a grueling series. In the Western Conference semifinals, the San Antonio Spurs will face the Utah Jazz.

This battle between iron-blooded defenses has already attracted the attention of many people before the game has even started.

One wonders if the San Antonio Spurs, representing the emerging powers, will have the last laugh, or the Utah Jazz, representing the established powers, will emerge victorious.

Of course, if you throw this question in front of the league chairman, David Stern, the answer is obvious. The old Jewish man, who has always regarded defense as a cancer in the league, curses those who advocate playing defensive basketball even when he is asleep.

The way the Spurs and Pistons play is not just in the league, even the most incomprehensible people will not be treated well because their games are so dull that the audience is drowsy.

If you lose viewers, you lose ratings, if you lose ratings, the league loses a large number of advertisers, and if you lose advertisers, you have to go bankrupt! So neither Stern nor the league executives like the game between the Spurs and the Utah Jazz very much.

As the boss of the team, Dumb is really too unphotogenic, and he really achieves the superb realm of not turning on the flash when the camera is pointed at him, and the camera is facing him without taking off the lens cover. Not to mention the official game, even in the All-Star Game, Duncan was also thrown bricks.

Secondly, like Parker, although his ball skills are good, he is still a little less gorgeous, and he can catch up with sprinters if he is fast, but he will be sick to his stomach if he sees too much. And most of the time, the French sports car doesn't gear at all, just follows Duncan, the old cow, on the field.

The only thing to watch in the team is the Argentine demon knife Ginobili, but it's a pity that I don't know that Zhuge Vic doesn't know whose door he was squeezed, and the stubborn and ugly and hard stones in the pit are ugly and hard, just ignore the calls of the people, and throw this demon knife to the bench, just don't let him start.

The rest are like Bruce Bowen, Brent Barry, Finley, Johnson and the like, and even the people who call them uncles when the dinosaurs are resurrected, I really don't know why they haven't retired yet.

Of course, it's not much better to have him on Sir Side, and Stockton, Karl Malone, and Hornacek can be Lamar's dad if they take it out.

Although the Utah Jazz play a pick-and-roll game and play beautifully, they still advocate iron-blooded defense in their bones. After a game, you can score 90 points, and such a team will naturally not get the support of the fans.

To be fair, when it comes to the side that is more likely to win, the younger, more energetic Spurs will be the first choice. The bottom line is that the Spurs' bench depth this season is not comparable to that of the Utah Jazz.

The other game in the West will be played against the Los Angeles Lakers, who are still in shame, against the high-spirited Minnesota Timberwolves.

I have to say that the Los Angeles Lakers have had good luck in this year's playoffs. The Golden State Warriors, who have just passed through one of the weak teams in the playoffs, are now meeting the Minnesota Timberwolves, who have the least playoff experience in the league.

A newcomer to a league like the Timberwolves is often easier to deal with because they lack playoff experience. However, the mentality of the Lakers is obviously not very good now, and the prospects are still worrying under the ups and downs!

In the two matchups in the East, in addition to the Knicks vs. the old rival Nets, the other is the Detroit Pistons, who are hated by Stern, against the Indiana Pacers led by Reggie Miller.

If the Spurs and Jazz's defense is lethargic and dreary, then the Pistons' defense is exciting.

As long as it's a game for the Pistons, it's often controversial, and as the league's biggest troublemaker, Rashid Wallace has never been a worry-free guy. If where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, then where there is Wallace, there will be violence.

From the Atlanta Hawks to the Portland Trail Blazers to the Detroit Pistons, Rasheed Wallace's career has never been one of Stern peace of mind. Either slapping into the roaring referee or attacking the opponent, his brain is in a state of dysfunction most of the time, and every now and then he goes crazy and then makes the beautiful vase in Stern's office one less one.

Roaring Celestial Venerable Rashid Wallace, plus Hamilton the Mask Man, Big Ben Ben Wallace, Little Prince Prince, and Maniac Van Exel, such a lineup is absolutely powerful no matter where it goes.

Although they are missing the cold-blooded killer Chancey Billups, they are still strong contenders for the championship.

The other game is related to the New York Knicks, and their opponent is no stranger, the New Jersey Nets. This name has been deeply engraved in the hearts of all New York fans since last season.

Last year, the Knicks fell at the feet of the Nets and became a stepping stone for the Nets to enter the Finals.

It can be said that Knicks fans are the happiest when they meet the opponent of the Nets. They all know that Lamar will not let them down this year.

In contrast to the optimism of New York fans, New Jersey fans are gloomy. In the final stage of the regular season this year, the Nets had another opportunity to choose an opponent, but in the end, the Nets head coach and management chose to face the New York Knicks instead of the Detroit Pistons after consultation!

In Scott's view, the Detroit Pistons, who advocate iron-blooded defense, are obviously more difficult to deal with than the Knicks, and the Pistons seem to have been born to restrain the Nets.

Although fans of the New Jersey Nets know the strength of the Knicks, they are still full of illusions, after all, they eliminated the New York Knicks in the Eastern Conference Finals last year!

Facing the Pistons or the Knicks? Perhaps from the day the regular season ended, Nets fans began to calculate for the team how to face the Knicks.
