When the Lakers led by Kobe Bryant and O'Neal swept the Rockets 3-0 in a way that no one expected to advance to the second round, and the rest of the league was still strangling, the Lakers began to pay attention to the next round.

"Utah Sizz, I feel like I'm getting better and better." Rambis frowned.

The Jazz had the second-best record in the league in the regular season, and this was the result of their back-to-back wins by the Lakers and Spurs at the beginning of the season due to poor run-in.

In the playoffs, the games between the Jazz and the Portland Trail Blazers have brought the run-in between the three Jazz stars to a new level.

"This is the effect that Richmond sacrificed himself to achieve, and the benefit of this is that the team's overall offense has gone up a notch, but at critical moments, when playing tough battles, there is still only one player who can stand up." Kobe Bryant's deep voice made the Lakers' players full of confidence!

That's Kobe Bryant's confidence! The deep meaning of Kobe's words is that he can press Stockton and Richmond to death by himself!

Jazz fought to the end, and there was still only one Malone!

Then it is impossible for them to defeat the Lakers with the OK King bomb!

The horror of the Lakers now is that Kobe can kill almost any outside superstar, and then add Kobe and O'Neal two superstars to call the wind and rain on the offensive end, Kobe Bryant's effect is to add one to his own team and subtract one from the opposing team!

"3:1, the Jazz won, Malone averaged 27.8 points, 12.1 rebounds, 6.7 assists, 1.2 blocks and 0.6 steals per game in the series."

"Sabonis and Rashid Wallace have worked hard, but they still can't stop Marlon."

"It's very good for a team like the Trail Blazers without a superstar to be able to play with the Jazz to this point."

"The game between the SuperSonics and the Timberwolves actually reached the fifth game!"

As expected by Kobe, Garnett, who already has a peak strength of 9 percent, has too much advantage in the face of Wenbeck! Garnett also played an average of 20+10+5+2+2 top power forward performance in this series!

"Kevin is the big forward second only to Malone now." The Lakers' players are also very familiar with Garnett because of the Mamba Academy.

"Duncan won for a while, and the league does have a hype gimmick."

"Does the league want to build an inside Kobe?" Horry's words were bloody.

The sensation of last year's rookie Kobe Bryant continues to this day, and Kobe Bryant is hailed as the No. 1 rookie. And even if Duncan's performance this year is not as good as Kobe, many experts have begun to call Duncan the No. 1 rookie.

The league just wants to establish an interior line that can fight against Kobe's court, just like Jordan vs Olajuwon back then.

Outside line VS inside line, in this day and age, everyone wants to know who is more dominant! In the same West, the Lakers will play the Spurs many times a year, and the hype of Kobe and Duncan will be even more eye-catching.

"It's a pity that Marbury's last strike against Payton missed."

"It's very good that Marbury, a kid, can average 17+6 per game in the series in front of Payton."

"Top ball sense and ball handling, playmaking above league level. The shooting skills after the dribble are also very good, and his and Garnett's pick-and-rolls really cause a lot of trouble for the SuperSonics. ”

"Next season, if Marbury and Kevin continue to upgrade, then this Timberwolves will become a first-team team in the league!"

The final series in the West is a game between the Spurs and Suns.

The battle for fourth and fifth in the West should be very fierce.

But the result was almost one-sided.

Duncan and David Robinson unreasonably turned the restricted area into their home, averaging 51.2 points, 27.6 rebounds, 9.3 assists, 6.1 blocks, 2.1 steals and 5.6 turnovers per game throughout the series.

Whether it is Danny Manning or new recruit McDyes, the Suns' interior line is about to collapse in the face of the combination of Shi Buddha and Admiral!

Danny Angie worked hard to rob a group of players who came from the trade, and there was nothing he could do in the face of the situation of being stabbed into a basket on the inside!

Whoever gets the inside line wins the world! When the Spurs twin towers can grab more than a dozen frontcourt rebounds in a game, this game really doesn't need to be played.

The penalty area is blocked, and there is absolutely no second chance to attack if the peripheral shot does not score! How can you win such a run?

Kevin Johnson and Kidd are both the kind of play that kill inside, they rush into the penalty area, and they face the double ghost of Duncan and David Robinson!

Tragic!

Looking at Kevin Johnson and Kidd, who were photographed on the ground again and again, Kobe Bryant couldn't help but shake his head.

In this era, under such defensive rules, such a guardian of the penalty area is a Tianke breakthrough player.

Even if he is a peak Zhan Huang, it is impossible to pierce the spurs' penalty area without projection.

"In the next round, it looks like we're going to play Spurs."

The Spurs easily beat the Suns 3-1.

Victory!

Danny Angie's expression after the race was as if he had taken a big bite of Xiang!

He thought that the Suns wouldn't be able to go far without superstars, but with two top stars like Kevin Johnson and Kidd, they should at least make it to the second round!

So many unpredictable pre-season trades in exchange for a playoff round?

This result was unacceptable to the old thief Anji

"Damn! If you don't have a superstar, you can't do it. "Danny Angie is secretly ruthless, but there are so many superstars in the league, almost all of them are the treasures of the team, where did he get a supergiant?

What Danny Angie doesn't know is... He traded an MVP-caliber player for a cabbage price in the offseason.

"Harm! That rookie champion is a soft egg, Kobe Bryant and I can easily handle him! O'Neal raised his chin, instead of running a series with the Suns, the Big Shark would be willing to fight Admiral Duncan!

"Don't underestimate Duncan." Kobe's words are loud, he has played against the No. 1 forward in history countless times! No one knows the greatness of the Stone Buddha better than Kobe!

"Kobe, not really. It feels like you're more afraid of the Spurs than the Rockets. ”

"The Spurs have to be inside, stronger than the Rockets!"

Olajuwon and Barkley are already in their twilight years, although they can maintain a historic level on the offensive end, but the defensive end is not the same level as the current Admiral Shifo!

Their physical fitness is not at the same level either!

In the face of Spurs, in the face of Popovich, any carelessness will overturn!

The last Spurs' first championship after Jordan's retirement was won by stepping on the head of the Lakers!

In this life! Kobe Bryant won't allow his team to make that mistake again!

The Spurs are strong on the inside, but their outside...

Bryant clenched his fists.
