With Dell Curry's stunner, it was not only the Lakers' first win on the road that took away the Lakers' first victory, but also the last vestige of confidence for the SuperSonics, and even Seattle fans, who have always been very supportive of the team, did not think that the SuperSonics could turn the tables in the remaining games.

As a result, the Lakers are the only teams that are still in the playoffs by the end of May 8, and the rest of the teams have inevitably suffered defeats on the road.

The Lakers' victory made Los Angeles fans ecstatic, but in addition to being happy, the Los Angeles media did not let go of the referee of the game, Mr. Steve Javi, in the description of the Los Angeles media and fans, this Mr. Jarvey has completely become a negative character, and has been ridiculed by many stars including Hollywood and fans, his "blind" nickname has been widely known with the spread of the people of Los Angeles, many years later, Jarvey is quite affectionate to this title, after all, this is a legend - Liu Han brought his nickname.

The league doesn't care too much about the outcome of the game, they only care about the ratings, as long as the game is exciting enough, then it doesn't matter who wins the result, on the contrary, the Lakers win is worthy of recognition, after all, they suffered injustice, and there was no dispute because of it, and the most important thing is that they won the final victory.

The entire Lakers team is now completely integrated, and the whole team is dreaming of their championship.

The playoffs continued, with one game each playing in the East and West on May 9.

The Pacers suffered a loss in their first game to New York. Patrick Ewing, who was out for the season, ended his recovery period early and returned to the fireline, facing most of the Knicks' 2-0 deficit, hoping to get a championship ring, and he risked another injury.

Ewing played just 26 games in the regular season this season, after which he underwent knee surgery and has been recovering.

In this game, Ewing played 32 minutes, scored 19 points and 7 rebounds, and although the stats were not high, his presence was a good constraint on the Pacers' offense.

The core of the Pacers team is the three-point shooter Reggie Miller, although Miller is accurate in three-point shooting, but he has a flaw that he does not have the ability to create scoring opportunities by himself, and all the balls must be scored with the cooperation of teammates, which makes the common tactic in the Pacers' offense is to break through the ball. In the previous game, Ewing was not there, and the Pacers were easy to score when they broke inside, which made the Knicks pay a lot of attention to breaking defense, so it would be much easier for the Pacers to shoot from the outside, so their efficiency in the offense was not bad.

But now that Ewing is back, the Knicks' players just need to defend the perimeter, so their defense is starting to get better, and the whole team has a new twist.

In the end, the Knicks relied on defense and a team of six players to score double-doubles to defeat the Pacers 83-78 and tie the overall score at 2-1.

In the second round of the playoffs in the West, the San Antonio Spurs, who returned home, played with amazing defensive intensity.

David Robinson's status on the team has been declining since rookie Tim Duncan showed his talent, but he didn't fall out with the team because of this, and retired David Robinson from the Navy has been trained militarized, so he knows the importance of unity, and Robinson has played as second-in-command in the previous playoffs, but today he broke out.

In the whole game, Robinson sent 7 big hats, and the Jazz team who fanned the North could not find North, and only Karl Malone scored 18 points in the whole team, and no one else scored in double figures. In addition to that, David Robinson also chipped in 21 points and nine rebounds, four of which were frontcourt boards.

The Jazz were very scary at home, but when they got to the road, they often fell into a slump, in this game, the whole team shot only 28.6% from the field, and Jeff Hornacek shot 1 of 8, shooting 12.5%; Stockton shot 0-of-4 and scored just two points from the free-throw line; Adam Faki shot 0-of-6 and played 24 minutes without scoring a point. Even Ma Long, who has always been stable, shot 6 of 21 today, and the shooting rate was less than 30%.

The Spurs will certainly not be soft against such a Jazz team, and in the end they defeated the Jazz by 22 points 86-64, and the 64-point score is also the lowest full-game score in the playoffs this season.

On May 10, the Bulls beat the Hornets on the road.

Michael Jordan scored 31 points on 14-of-31 shooting; Pippen scored 17 points on 7-of-12 shooting, but he also had eight assists and six rebounds to complete his duties as a point forward. On the Bulls' bench, Tony Kukoc also scored 15 points.

On the Hornets' side, five players scored in double figures, but none scored more than 15 points, with Divac scoring 15 points and Glen Rice scoring just 13 points on 6-of-17 shooting.

In the end, the Bulls defeated the Hornets 94-80 to tie the overall score at 3-1.

The Lakers once again set foot in the home arena of the SuperSonics after a day off, but to their surprise today, the SuperSonics fans and even the players were a little uninterested.

The Lakers originally made detailed arrangements and rehearsals for this game, but what they didn't expect was that although the SuperSonics still played very hard in this game, they didn't want to work as hard as in the last game, and their defense was not as active as the last game, but the offense was quite impressive.

In this situation, the Lakers did not miss the opportunity, and they began to attack mainly from the interior like the SuperSonics to launch counterattacks.

Gary Payton changed the defensive mode of stalking in the past, and turned on the offensive mode today, facing the still slightly immature Nash, Gary Payton scored 12 points in the first quarter.

On the Lakers' side, today's focus is on interior offense, O'Neal played with ease in the face of the slow McYlvain, and more importantly, today's referee was replaced by "bald" Crawford, a referee who has a good impression of the Lakers, and in the games he enforces, the Lakers are often taken care of. So O'Neal let go of his hands and feet today, and McYlvain, who hit him, felt pressure.

At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers led by six points at 34-28.

After the start of the second quarter, Liu Han, who was at a break in the second half of the first quarter, began to attack like a supersonic team with four substitute players, Liu Han's strong firepower output attracted the defense of the supersonic team, and the Lakers blossomed more and played an offensive climax, once expanding the gap in the score to more than 15 points. However, with the SuperSonics replacing their starters, the Lakers were unable to continue to extend their lead.

At halftime, the Lakers led by 11 points, 68-57.

Heading into the second half, O'Neal dominated the game again, his strong power to make the opposing center resist, and now his free throws are much better than before, so O'Neal's scoring began to rise.

At the end of the third quarter, the Lakers once again extended their lead to 19 points, and O'Neal had 34 points by the end of the third quarter.

Heading into the fourth quarter, the SuperSonics gave up the game completely after withdrawing half a quarter, and they trailed by more than 20 points with four minutes left in the game.

In the end, the Lakers completed a sweep of the SuperSonics for the second year in a row, and they also became the first team to advance to the Western Conference Finals.

Gary Payton silently turned back to the locker room before the game was over, he didn't want to stay in the arena where fans began to leave the stadium to be "taken care of" by the camera, and the whole arena, except for the Lakers' happiness, was only Seattle's loneliness. (To be continued.) )
