Chapter 135: Against the Trailblazers 12
As it turned out, the Trail Blazers' tactics were indeed too correct, and the Lakers fell to Portland again, and at the end of the game, Shaq angrily threw the towel on the ground, and his offense was stifled by an old guy!
Back to the home court of the Trail Blazers, Pippen and Sabonis's small actions finally had a place available, Sabonis's fake fall only took two and a half quarters to send Shaq off the court, and in the end the referees felt that this guy fell to the ground too fake, but it was on the home court of the Trail Blazers, and this kind of whistle that can be blown or not is of course biased in favor of the Portlanders.

Kobe Bryant, too, has no power in his breakthrough, Pippen's stumbling block is a ruthless one, and Pippen is smarter and more experienced than Russell of the Utah Jazz. He didn't want to hurt Kobe, it was too big to make a move, too difficult to favor their referee. He let Kobe Bryant break through when he walked, every time Kobe broke through from him, Bowen stretched his leg and swung his elbow, in order to maintain his balance, Kobe Bryant could only hold the ball to adjust his footsteps, and of course this gave the referee a chance to blow him for walking.
Game 5 back to Los Angeles. The furious Lakers confirmed their determination to advance with a hearty victory.
After the end of the fourth game, the referees received a message from Stern boss, Stern's order is very simple, just, fair, and open! The referees only need to follow this principle, if anyone dares to blow the whistle again, then I'm sorry, wait for me Stern to kill chickens and monkeys.
Stern also has a bitter voice, he doesn't want to directly interfere with the referees' decisions, but he really doesn't want to see the Trail Blazers enter the Finals, and the first game of the Western Conference Finals has a 12.6% rating in the United States. The second game was 15.8 percent, the third game was 9.3 percent, and the fourth game was 5.4 percent! If you continue to play like this, then no one in the NBA will watch it.
The Eastern Conference finals are also in full swing, the myth of the Pacers' unbeaten home game in the playoffs was broken by the Knicks, and in the first game of the finals, the Pacers taught the old orangutan a lesson with a hot offense, and Reggie Miller told the New Yorkers with facts that he is a scoring guard who is not inferior to Jordan.
In the first game of the Eastern Conference finals, the Pacers defeated the Knicks 103-96, Reggie Miller scored 37 points on 13-of-21 shooting and 6-of-6 three-pointers, and Jermaine O'Neal got the first double-double of his playoff career, with 18 points and 12 rebounds. You know, Knicks center Gorilla Ewing only had 8 rebounds.
O'Neal Jr. became an overnight fame after this game, although Reggie Miller scored the most, but O'Neal Jr. only had 11 shots, and he shot 7 of 11.
In the second game, the Knicks finally pulled one back. Houston scored 35 points and grabbed seven rebounds.
It was because of Houston's courage that the Knicks won 101-99, and if it weren't for Reggie Miller's three-point miss at the last minute, the Knicks would have begun to cry by now.
Even so, the Knicks can't be too happy, because in the next two games, the Pacers took the Knicks down, yes, the Pacers led the Knicks 3-1, and according to experts' speculation, it was only a matter of time before the Pacers took out the Knicks.
As it turned out, the Eastern Conference Finals came to an end when the Lakers lost to the Trail Blazers again. The Knicks, who had been pinned on a lot of hope, didn't even make it to the Finals this year, and they were eventually eliminated by the Indianas.
After 28 years, the Indiana reached the finals again.
The Lakers lost to the Trail Blazers in Game 6 of the Western Conference Finals, and the Lakers played well today, but the Trail Blazers obviously played better, and the Trail Blazers played an incredibly smooth offense in this game. In the face of the Trail Blazers' offensive like a cloud of peers, the Lakers were dumbfounded, they had adapted to the iron-blooded Trail Blazers, and now the Trail Blazers changed their court, and the Lakers felt very uncomfortable.
Relying on the hot hand, the Trail Blazers defeated the Lakers in a fierce way, and after the game, the Lakers players left Portland with gloomy faces, and the seventh game was held in Sacramento, where their home court was held, and they had to win this game.
The only thing that can give Kobe a little comfort is that the Knicks led by the old orangutan were eliminated in an upset, so that Mr. Orangutan had to be sent away early, and the focus of the league was on him, of course, there were also many spotlights on Jermaine O'Neal, who was born.
The seventh game of the Western Conference Finals, which will be a game of life and death, now the league has a unified understanding that the West is significantly stronger than the East, which means that the winner of the Western Conference Finals will be the final champion. Now this game between the Lakers and the Trail Blazers is the battle for the ultimate championship.
On May 25, 2000, the Lakers hosted the Trail Blazers.
The game was already hyped before the game, and no one dared to guess who would advance to the finals in the end.
Compared to the two teams, the Trail Blazers are more experienced and have a more stable mentality, compared to the Lakers, who are a little too young, and they have never even played this kind of tie-breaker.
However, the game was held in Los Angeles, and before they knew it, the Lakers held a record, they have never tasted defeat at home in the playoffs, and since last season's playoffs, the Lakers have won all at home.
That way, the game will be suspenseful. One is to occupy the time and place, the other is to occupy the people, who wins and who loses can only depend on the on-the-spot swing of the two teams. However, experts agree that if Lamar can open his point of attack, the Lakers will undoubtedly have a better chance of winning.
But can Lamar do that? You know, the rookies nowadays have a characteristic, which is to drop the chain at a critical moment.
Look at the LeBron of the future, he is such a typical example, this guy's performance in the playoffs is really unsatisfactory, especially in key games, Howard is the same, in the playoffs, the monster who can dominate the restricted area in the regular season often disappears without a trace, otherwise the Magic team will not lose so, and even Wade is the same, of course, that guy is not bad, but when it comes to this kind of critical game, he will be injured, the early days are fine, and the late ones are often like this.
"I'm willing to bet that if Lamar can keep up his regular season play, then the Portlanders are dead and we can play the Los Angeles and Indiana games. Before the game, Bill Wharton said optimistically to the Smith duo.
Collins shook his head, he was not a lama fan, so he said more objectively: "This is an extremely important tournament, Lamar has never played such a match. If nothing else, his form will definitely suffer. And in such a game, the strength of one person is useless, only the whole team can win the opponent! From this point of view, there is no doubt that the Portlanders have a more reasonable reason to advance. ”
Bill Wharton reluctantly said, "Hey, man, you're just guessing on your own, you're just talking about average players, Lamar is like me, we all have big hearts, you know? ”
Seeing Bill Wharton and Collins arguing, Smith gave the two old guys a blank look, and honestly sat on the sidelines and listened to the two of them talking about it, and fans and viewers liked this kind of commentary.
"Let's look at the SMS support ratings for both teams right now, oh my God, and now that the game hasn't started yet, there are already six million enthusiastic fans who have come to support SMS. As we guessed, the Lakers have a higher approval rating, and it's unbelievable that Knicks fans are now voting for them, and poor Portlanders only have local fans to support them. Collins laughed.
Smith also laughed: "It seems that the Los Angeles people are expected to advance in this game, almost all the fans in the United States are supporting them, if they end up losing to the Portlanders, then I don't think there will be fans to ambush them." ”
Outside, the court was bustling with excitement as if it was Christmas, and the Lakers' locker room was buzzing, where Ramon Murray sang a blast of rock 'n' roll to cheer his teammates on.
"Lamond, hey, Rammond, you bastard, sit down honestly, we're going to have a game soon, and I don't want to go to the court with a vomited body. Lamar said loudly, not loud, Ramon Murray sang very devotedly.
Ramon Murray shook his thick, dark, wicked fingers and muttered discontentedly, "Man, I'm cheering you on, don't you feel your blood boiling when you listen to this song?
"Murray, it's better for you to sit down honestly. Horry said with a smile, fiddling his ass to leave an empty seat for Ramon Murray.
"Are you nervous?" said Shaw quietly, saying that it was the first time he had played such an important match, and it was a real knockout match.
Chauncey Billups struggled to put on a calm expression, and he was about to open his mouth when a loud boo suddenly came from outside, and it seemed that it was a Trail Blazers player entering.
Chauncey Billups' calm was taken aback by the loud boo, and he said in frustration: "To be honest, I'm a little nervous right now! Well, don't look at me like that, I'm very nervous, it's the first time for someone to play like this! But it's okay, don't we still have Shaq and Kobe? As long as they have them, there must be no problem." They're all old birds!"
