Just when the Lakers players were sitting on the mountain in Los Angeles watching the tiger fight, the game between the Warriors and the Spurs was finally decided, and the defending champion Warriors were slightly better after all, winning the match point on the Spurs' home court and advancing to the Western Conference finals with a score of 4:2.

In this semi-final, Duncan played 20+ points and 10+ rebounds in the top performance, and after 18 years in the NBA, he is still the best power forward in the league!

This year's Spurs are 65-17 under veteran coach Popovich and have shown good form by sweeping the Dallas Mavericks 4-0 in the first round of the playoffs.

Unfortunately, the Warriors have a Curry who can break down the technique and tactics, and the title of "perverted quasi" is not to be said, he threw 33 three-pointers in six semifinals, averaging 32.6 points per game. In the regular season, Curry made 350 three-pointers, an average of more than four per game, setting a new NBA all-time high.

If it weren't for Xiao Feng's incredible 460 three-pointers, Curry would have left his mark on the history of the NBA, and in a sense, the emergence of Curry and Xiao Feng has redefined the meaning of shooting.

Last year, Curry had already used his three-point shot to shoot the Big Three led by James to death, and this year, the teams against the Warriors and Lakers have tasted even more pain.

Although the Warriors and Spurs did not fight to the final tie-breaker, the high-intensity six fierce battles still left everyone bruised and physically and mentally exhausted.

After a long regular season, the players ushered in a more competitive playoffs, which presented the toughest test of each player's physical, physical and even mental strength.

Because of this, every year's championship will be remembered by fans and history. Every classic battle, every classic duel, will leave an impressive picture.

Two teams that set the best records in NBA history in the same season met in the Western Conference Finals, something that the media and fans expected before the game and had been waiting for for a long time. In the eyes of many, the Lakers and Warriors, who are doing well, can be considered the two best teams in the league today, and this is the Finals held early!

When the Warriors defeated the Spurs to advance to the Western Conference Finals. 'Early Finals' has become the headline of many media outlets, making James sour in the far East.

After back-to-back 4-0/4-1 wins over the Bulls and Hawks, the Cavaliers once again advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals against the Raptors, who were ranked in the Eastern Conference during the regular season.

As in the West, the playoffs in the East are still uneventful, with weak teams unable to break the blockade of strong teams, and the contrast between strong and weak is extremely obvious.

Just when James was sharpening his knife and preparing to break into the finals again, the media reports were undoubtedly like a basin of cold water poured on his head, making him extremely depressed.

This year marks his 10th year in the NBA. He made it to the finals six times but lost four times, and the only two championships were won by Wade, which made him very aggrieved.

Nike and James have been at an impasse since losing to Curry's Warriors in the Finals last year, and perhaps Nike is no longer optimistic about James' future. In addition to Nike, other sponsors have also slowed down negotiations on new contracts, which made James and his team realize the seriousness of the problem.

Especially on the All-Star level, James' uncool behavior has exacerbated this perception. The trend of public opinion is becoming more and more unfavorable for James. Luckily, James was a guest at Staples Arena. showed a rare bloody and decisive character, which slightly changed everyone's impression of him.

This year's finals will be James' best chance to prove himself, but when the East-West finals are about to begin, the media's slogans undoubtedly show that the outside world is unanimously not optimistic about James!

…………

On May 19, although it was midweek, Staples Arena still welcomed 20,000 spectators. The whole stadium began to pour fans after 5 o'clock in the afternoon, and it seemed very lively.

Both the NBA league and the Lakers take every game very seriously, and strive to make the game a carnival of fun for fans, so coming to the arena is more than just watching the game. The Lakers, backed by Hollywood's vast entertainment resources. There will be a variety of wonderful cultural performances in every major game, which is also one of the benefits of Lakers fans.

In the first two years, because the Lakers' sluggish form made the playoffs far away, and the usual heavyweight matchups were all lost, fans were not in the mood to enjoy all kinds of entertainment outside the game.

This season, the strong rise of the Lakers has made Los Angeles fans quite happy, and every home game is a carnival day for fans, fans and their families enjoy the joy of victory in the arena, and they can also enjoy a variety of wonderful performances, which is naturally worth the ticket price!

The Lakers' flawless performance in the first two rounds of the playoffs made fans even more enthusiastic, and the tickets to the Western Conference Finals sold out on the Lakers' official website were sold out in just 2 minutes. On the day of the game, the fans who entered the stadium found that the audience sitting in the front row were all celebrities and super-rich, like a big gathering in the entertainment industry and the rich circle.

Based on the Lakers' performance in the playoffs, perhaps they only have four games left in Staples this season, and for Lakers star fans, this is the last chance to brush their faces.

Therefore, as long as many Hollywood stars can adjust the schedule, they will do everything possible to get tickets and appear in Staples.

Thankfully, the Lakers' management is experienced in dealing with this situation, and the hundreds of tickets for the best locations in the entire arena are not on sale, but are kept in their hands for these VIPs.

For Xiao Feng, the millions of dollars brought from the sale of these tickets are nothing, as long as the Lakers continue to move forward, these stars and big names can bring more attention to the Lakers, which is the most valuable place.

Therefore, super names such as Leonardo, Tom Tom, and the Pitts, who have just won the Oscar, can enter Staples for free. Sit closest to the pitch and even chat with the players on the bench.

That's the hallmark of the 'City of Angels', where the influence of Hollywood superstars is everywhere!

…………

When Curry took his teammates into the away locker room at Staples Arena, he also involuntarily took a deep breath, after all, in the face of the Lakers, everyone will have a huge pressure.

During the regular season. The Warriors visited Staples twice, both of which were big defeats, and even at Oracle Stadium, the Warriors did not take advantage of anything. After losing 4 consecutive seasons, the Lakers are the biggest sufferers of the Warriors this year, and now that the two teams meet again, everyone will do their best!

As the defending champions, the Warriors know that successfully defending their title is essential if they want to build a dynasty. The Lakers will be the biggest obstacle in the way for the Warriors to defend their title.

Therefore, after entering the visiting locker room in the arena, the atmosphere of the Warriors was a little heavy, and Iguodala, who usually likes to joke about you, also became a little silent.

…………

The opening ceremony of the Lakers in the playoffs is even more grand, whether it is lighting, sound or various ceremonies, they are full of strong Hollywood flavor, and they have also become the highlight of the broadcast picture.

Unlike European football culture, NBA fans and viewers have always had a tolerant and welcoming attitude towards the away team. The boos that resounded throughout the audience were naturally inaudible. So when Curry came in with the Warriors. They were greeted by warm applause and cheers, and the scene was quite lively.

Of course, the applause received by the home team will be a little more enthusiastic, especially when Xiao Feng and Kobe Bryant played in the finale, the roof of the Staples Arena was almost torn off, and the ultra-high decibel level on the scene was almost comparable to the take-off and landing of the A380.

For Lakers fans. They are undoubtedly happy this year, and the joy in their hearts can only be expressed in applause when they see the team invincible and only two steps away from the 17th championship trophy in history.

This Western Conference Finals, in addition to being broadcast live across the United States. Television stations in more than 100 countries around the world broadcast to more than 1.5 billion people, with Greater China and Asia contributing the lowest viewers. In the U.S. alone, the ratings for Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals surpassed those of last year's Finals, with 16% of the ratings, and more than 23 million fans tuned in to watch the game in front of their televisions.

With the advancement of technology, the live broadcast of sports games is no longer limited to satellite TV, and the live broadcast of the Internet and mobile phone clients has begun to rise, and has even accounted for more than half of the share.

The ballooning ratings have made the NBA's top brass laugh from ear to ear, which represents huge sponsorship costs and broader international reach.

Recently, some Chinese consortiums have begun to contact some teams in the NBA, intending to follow Xiao Feng's lead in the NBA, which also shows the deepening of the internationalization of the NBA.

For the NBA league, capital is the most important thing, the nationality of the consortium is not the most critical factor, as long as it can promote the development of the league and bring more markets and benefits, the NBA league will always open its arms.

…………

After the game started, Curry still competed with Xiao Feng, and Green, who was selected for the best defensive team, also stalked Kobe, and the scene suddenly became Mars hitting the earth.

Although Curry is 6 centimeters taller than Xiao Feng, Xiao Feng's strength is obviously much stronger, so Xiao Feng is not at all inferior in the confrontation with him.

As a result, fans saw the scene of Xiao Feng and Curry exchanging three points in the first quarter, and Kobe Bryant was also happy to see it, and put the ball more in Xiao Feng's hands.

As the two best three-point shooters in NBA history, Xiao Feng's unreasonable shot and Curry's 'perverted accuracy' made the audience at the scene and in front of the TV watch the blood of the blood.

In a basketball game, in addition to the strong dunk that can stimulate the adrenaline of the audience, accurate three-point shooting will also have the same effect, after all, the scene of the basket like the sea is still quite spectacular.

The reason why the original 'Maddie moment' was so impressive was that Maddie hit four three-pointers in the last 35 seconds to snatch a victory away from the Spurs.

In the Western Conference Finals, the rivalry between the two three-pointers quickly brought the entire Staples Arena to a climax, and every three-point wave sent fans into a frenzy.

The other players also seemed to be interested in fulfilling these two, and they pulled away to let them go head-to-head, and this kind of lone heroic duel made the whole scene even more beautiful.

In the end, Xiao Feng was still a step ahead, and his eight consecutive 3-pointers were slightly better than Curry's 6 three-pointers, which also became a microcosm between the two teams.

Relying on Xiao Feng's wonderful performance, the Lakers led the Warriors 38-32 in the first quarter into the second quarter, and the trend of the whole game was laid.

In the end, relying on the excellent play of Xiao Feng and Kobe, as well as the other four scoring double-doubles, the Lakers easily defeated the Warriors 128-119 at home and won the first victory in the battle of Tianwang Mountain.

In fact, the trend of the whole series is the same as the first game, an inexplicable Xiao Feng and Kobe Bryant in peak condition are unstoppable by any team.

4:0, before Children's Day, the Lakers easily swept the Warriors, and entered the Finals again after six years, and they will attack the Celtics' 17th championship record.

After the game, Xiao Feng and Kobe Bryant, the two banner men, were interviewed by the global media and looked forward to the finals.

"To be able to enter the Finals with all the wins, thanks to the joint efforts of Kobe Bryant and other opponents, we hope to show stronger competitiveness in the Finals!" Xiao Feng is also well aware of the topic that reporters are interested in, and said with a smile: "The game between the Cavaliers and the Raptors is still going on, we can wait for them with a more relaxed attitude, which is a favorable condition for us!"

"Although we have played against LeBron dozens of times in the regular season, we have never met in the Finals, so I hope he can lead the Cavaliers to a successful breakthrough this year!" Kobe Bryant also did not hide his will to fight for James, and sent a battle post to James, who was fighting in the Eastern Conference Finals.

It's also ironic to say that the NBA league has been playing up the '23vs24' matchup since '06, but the two didn't meet in the Finals for various reasons.

If it weren't for Xiao Feng, Kobe would have retired after this season, and the legend of '23vs24' would only be a joke.

Fortunately, the strong rise of the Lakers this season has given the NBA league and fans a long-cherished feeling, so everyone is looking forward to James leading the Cavaliers to defeat the Raptors and compete with Kobe!

At present, the Cavaliers have won the match point with a score of 3-1, and they also have home-court advantage next, so they are also unanimously favored by the outside world.

As for the Lakers, who have finished the Western Conference Finals, they can sit leisurely in front of the TV, watch the Cavaliers and the Raptors fight each other, and reap the benefits of the fishermen! )
