On May 26, the second game of the Western Conference Finals kicked off. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The Rockets were the first to change the starting lineup, Reed came into the starting lineup in place of the in-form Maddy, and the Lakers lineup remained unchanged. When the players from both sides came on the court, Kobe Bryant glanced at Maddie on the bench and sighed to himself.

The Lakers won possession and the first shot was given to Battier on a jumper from inside the three-point line, which missed. But Gasol poked the ball into the basket from Bosh with a long arm.

Bosh felt that the ball had lost face and insisted on regaining face. He held the ball and forced Gasol, and when he made a layup, he was pulled by Kobe Bryant, who came up to help defend him, and fouled! Bosh made 1 of 2 free throws.

Kobe Bryant missed a single shot, Yao Ming bullied Mutombo for his old age, and hit a goal before the Lakers changed lineups.

This time Bryant hit a jumper, turned around and stole Jefferson's serve. However, Kobe Bryant was also happy and sad, and he made a mistake in his busy schedule and turned back the pass to Billups. Chauncey didn't waste the opportunity, and a dragon broke through and hit a layup, 4:5.

Gasol missed a shot, and Yao Ming received a pass from Chauncy and scored again in the low post.

Van Gundy was quick to change this time. Seeing that Mutombo couldn't hold Yao Ming, he immediately adjusted to Odom. Yao Ming's opponent was replaced by Gasol, and this lineup was also the easiest lineup for the Lakers to win points in the regular season.

This lineup is really extraordinary, Odom and Gasol, two big men who are good at passing, revitalize the attack and play more routines. Battier and Williams hit back-to-back three-pointers to quickly overtake the score.

But the Rockets' shooters were even more terrifying, Reed and Jefferson hit consecutive shots, and instantly overtook the score. Reed's goal was not tight, but it aroused Kobe's competitiveness, he continued to ask for the ball to play singles, and the shaking left and right deceived Reed but unfortunately missed the shot. Yao Ming picked up the rebound and handed it to his teammates to launch a fast break, and Jefferson countered and hit a layup, 12:16.

But the Lakers stopped the game. George was shaken to the ground by Jefferson in this defense, and suddenly fell to the ground in pain after his wrist was on the ground. After a brief diagnosis, the Lakers doctor suspected that he had not had an ordinary contusion and a broken wrist and could not continue playing.

Van Gundy was already a fierce bald man, but now his sad face looked even more vicious. George isn't very strong, and his absence won't have much of an impact on this round of playoffs, but the problem is that the Lakers don't have a backup at the No. 3 spot. Previous main substitute Luke. Wharton has already been sent to the Grizzlies in a trade, and there is no one else available. Van Gundy finally set his sights on Matt at the end of the bench. Barnes.

Barnes knew his chance had come, and he glared and got up from the bench. Van Gundy had no choice but to nod. Originally, he looked down on Barnes, and Van Gundy can't be blamed for this, not only him, but the whole league looks down on Barnes.

Barnes was a long, lanky man, and his brass bell-like eyes didn't look like a kind man. He also has tattoos all over his body, and the first thing he feels like is a problem player for the team. His early basketball career was rocky, playing four years in college before entering the draft, being drafted by the Grizzlies with the 46th overall pick in the second round, and being sent to the Cavaliers right away, where he was cut a few months later, and was ignored and failed to play in the first year. He was signed by the SuperSonics in September '03 and was laid off again in October. He was signed by the Clippers in January 04, and this time he got the first chance to play in his life, and he played 38 games for the Clippers, averaging 4+4 per game. The following year, he played 43 games for the Kings, playing an average of 16 minutes per game and contributing 3+3. It was only this season that he joined the Lakers.

In Van Gundy's view, the Lakers are the team that wants to challenge for the championship, and this player who averages 3+3 per game is not eligible to enter the main rotation lineup. Now it is purely Shuzhong no general Liao Hua as a vanguard, unless he wants to send Odom or Kobe Bryant to the No. 3 position, but Kobe's substitute Lu Wei has also lost the trust of Fan Bald.

This time, Barnes did not disappoint the manager and the fans, and his diligent running created good chances, and Gasol watched the four-way pass arrive, and Barnes shook off Reid for a layup.

Jason. Buss smiled with satisfaction, and in his opinion George's injury might be a good thing, and Barnes was the better player. Barnes is very tough defensively, and with good height and reach, the defensive end is definitely above average. On the offensive end, although he didn't have much shooting ability in the early part of his career, he didn't lag behind with his aggressive running.

This game was particularly difficult for the Rockets, and Yao Ming, the scoring weapon they relied on in the regular season, did not have a high degree of certainty against Gasol, so they relied more on Billups' play. Chauncy hadn't felt like this for a long time, and he faced the strong Delong and used all his eighteen martial arts. And the young Delon is a force to break ten, and he will either block and dismantle with his teammates when he gets the ball, or break through to the basket with his head bored.

With a wave of Kobe Bryant's explosion in the third quarter, the Lakers took the lead. And the Rockets, organized by Billups, are slowly closing the gap. In the final five minutes of the game, the Lakers had a slight lead of 93-89.

Gasol's strong attack under the basket was blocked by Yao Ming, and Odom grabbed the rebound in the front court and missed the rebound. The Rockets had a good chance to chase the points, but Reed also missed a desperate three-pointer.

On the Lakers' side, Kobe Bryant also contributed a piece of iron. Billups finally broke through and hit a layup, and Gasol, who almost played the whole court, couldn't block it, and the difference narrowed to 2 points.

Van Gundy called a timeout, and he was forced to replace the tired Gasol with Mime.

Battier missed a three-pointer from an open position, and Billups grabbed the rebound to complete a triple-double. On the Rockets' side, Turkoglu missed a layup that was close at hand. Bryant got the ball and fought back directly, hitting a dry pull-up jumper in front of the free throw line, 95-91.

Yao Ming made a mistake and was cut off by Battier, but fortunately Meme's mid-range shot missed. The Rockets got the ball back and still handed it to Yao Ming, and he was still certain that he was sure of beating Mime, causing the opponent to foul. It's a pity that Yao Ming was too tired at this time, and he was very sure that he only made 1 of 2 free throws.

Adelman shook his head bitterly, he knew better than anyone that Yao Ming was overdrawn. But at this critical moment of fighting, he must not be replaced by Dapu who has no attack power, in this kind of confrontation of top teams, one ring will lose the whole game, and Yao Ming can only grit his teeth and hold on.

Bryant hit Tekoglou with his back and hit a turnaround jumper, 97-92.

The Rockets took a timeout and brought on Jefferson and Roy, as well as the mediocre Turkoglou and Reed. The Lakers traded for Gasol.

Roy played the Lakers with foreign energy, and as soon as he came on the court, he broke through the point to assist Yao Ming to score.

But today's Lakers life is hard, Delon missed three points, and Gasol grabbed the frontcourt rebound and gave it to Kobe. Bryant drew Roy and made both free throws, 99-94. There are less than 2 minutes left in the game.

Billups' three-pointer gave Rockets fans renewed hope of victory, but Battier's three-pointer sent them to hell again. The Rockets launched several counter-attacks in the fourth quarter, but each time the Lakers responded with timely goals. In the final minute, the Rockets used foul tactics, but the current Lakers are not O'Neal. Gasol and Odom both had good free-throw shooting ability to ensure the victory.

At 106:98, the Lakers won again away and led the Rockets 2-0. The next series will move to Staples, where the Rockets may be buried. (To be continued.) )
