Wayne was out of breath, but Yao Ming, who was defending him, was not easy.

At this point, Odom caught Wayne, who was about to fall into a dead end.

Wayne had no choice but to pass the ball to the gunner, who was ready outside the three-point line, before the bag came up.

The Zen master on the sidelines breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Wayne passed, the Lakers' defense was successful!

The basketball was handed to a barrage of point guards, and in the face of the old fish's defense, Paul was able to clean him up with just a sudden acceleration.

The cuckold fish is as steady as ever.

But after Pao'er broke through the old fish, he didn't get a chance to score easily, because the tendon-covered Tai made up for it as soon as possible.

"Rub!" Cannon cursed and calmly distributed the ball to Yuduka.

Yuduka received the ball and threw it, but the moment he shot, he was successfully interfered with by Atai, who was actively rushing up.

The passionate Artest is indeed the kind of player who can defend two people at the same time.

Even if he flanks Paul, it doesn't mean that there is an empty space on the court.

Because he's perfectly capable of getting back into position the moment you hit the ball.

Yuduka's empty three-pointer is indeed stable, but the anti-interference ability is almost meaningless.

This is also the reason why he has such a high three-point shooting percentage, but he does not average double-doubles in points per game.

In a high-level game, you can only get a few big open shots in one game, right?

"Bang!" Basketball stumbled out of the box, and the Lakers' defense was once again a big success!

Atai let out a low roar as Yuduka struck, which made him look even wilder with a new hairstyle.

Well, today's new hairstyle of Atai made him attract attention as soon as he appeared.

As for the short hairs on Atai's head, most people can't make a name for themselves with this kind of hair.

But for a people's artist who can enjoy himself with his eyes closed on the tennis court, where is the personality that Atai can't show?

So, Atai decided to start with the sides of his hair. He asked the hairstylist to shave the two Chinese characters "champion" on the side of his hair.

Well, Wayne said why this product suddenly asked himself how to write the championship in Chinese a few days ago.

To be honest, in Wayne's previous life, it was not uncommon to shave patterns on the sides of his hair.

But in 2008, this shape of Yitai can be said to be quite avant-garde.

Not to mention that he is handsome, he is also full of personality and is at the forefront of fashion.

With a "champion" on his head, he is unequivocal today.

On the defensive end, he runs all over the field, is not afraid of confrontation, and every time he successfully defends or scores, he will let out a loud roar.

This is the typical hairstyle that determines the state.

Wayne glared viciously at Tai, who was still yelling just now, you have changed, you dare to yell at us now, and you dare to be impatient with me.

You weren't like that before!

You're really Kobe Bryant's guy now!

Scumbag!

"Ron. Artest had a great performance today, and he proved how right and smart the Lakers were about that trade for him last summer! With his contribution on the defensive end, the Lakers seem to be one step closer to the championship! ”

Lakers fans cheered, and the live commentators looked in a good mood.

Because after Yuduka's missed shot, the Trail Blazers are still 7 points behind the Lakers!

At this time, there were only 44 seconds left until the end of the race.

The Lakers win is decided!

Throughout today, the Trail Blazers were very embarrassed by the Lakers.

The Zen master was not polite to Wayne, and directly used a very layered defensive strategy against Wayne, rather than a one-on-one single defense.

If Wayne is in the low post, then Yao Ming will be the main defender and Odom will be in the bag.

If Wayne is active in a high position, he wants to fish Yao Ming out.

Then I'm sorry, Yao Ming won't go out. Odom will defend Wayne and then wait for Tayne to take the lead.

In the last round against the Jazz, the Lakers have already tested the feasibility of this defensive strategy.

While neither Oku nor Boozer can compare to Wayne, they have similarities.

Oku flies kites every day to pull Chairman Yao out, and Boozer is also very fond of finishing attacks from mid-range.

In short, it is to trick Chairman Yao out and kill him.

At that time, the Zen master used this trick to save the day.

Yao Ming just stayed under the basket with peace of mind, no way, the front line is so luxurious, this is so luxurious, it can help Yao Ming wipe his ass.

Popovich said that it was sour, if the Spurs could have a forward to wipe Duncan's ass......

Of course, with such a tight defense, Wayne has scored 23 points so far.

It is impossible to be completely defeated, or in that sentence, a real superstar cannot be completely prevented, and no matter how well you do, you can only say that you can restrict him.

Wayne made a hard shot and stumbled to nearly 25 points.

So, what really put the Trail Blazers in a desperate situation today was not offense, but defense.

To be exact, the defense of Kobe!

The Zen master thought that without Gasol, he could let Yao Ming wantonly bomb the low position.

As a result, Wayne's defensive ability in the low post was surprising, and Yao Ming failed to take advantage of Wayne on several offenses.

So, after going around in a circle, I still have to be stingy Mamba to come.

Then, the MVP exploded.

In the Western Conference Finals last year, how did the Trail Blazers defend Kobe?

relied on the 48 minutes of continuous entanglement by the gun, and after the gun was injured, he relied on the 48 minutes of uninterrupted wrapping by Posey and Yuduka and others.

And Wayne's just right co-defense!

That's it, in fact, it didn't really limit Kobe, but it just made Kobe miss key shots repeatedly.

Aside from the missed shots of some key shots, Kobe Bryant's average points per game in the Western Conference finals last year was not low.

This year, the Trail Blazers can still only rely on guns to fight Kobe Bryant.

McMillan was really worried that the cannon would be damaged by the cannon carriage.

The Trailblazers have lost their sister-in-law, and if there are no more guns, even if they enter the finals, they can't guarantee that they will win the cup.

But no, that's the only way to do it now.

However, this year, Wayne was firmly sucked in by Da Yao, so it is impossible to be as flexible as last season.

McMillan has not thought of ways to do so, such as playing the number five with Milicic.

Or let the meat shields of Mutombo, P.J. Brown and others work.

But it's not easy to do!

Except for Wayne, everyone else didn't defend Yao Ming well.

Uncle Mu and Brown, after all, they are post-60s.

Well, maybe Uncle Mu is still a post-50s generation.

They'll be able to take a round or two once in a while, or a few minutes, and that's actually what they're capable of.

If you want to say that you really have to defend Yao Ming for a long time, and you have to have a good effect, that is to pull the calf.

Just kidding, this is the pinnacle of Tuyao.

In the original history, the Lakers twin towers were put together, which also allowed Chairman Yao to do 28+10 with a 52.9% shooting rate.

In the end, it was Wayne who had to deal with his big brother himself.

Brother Yao smiled: "Xiao Wei, come to hand-to-hand combat, the kind of man on top of man." ”

Wayne can't help it, this guy is too big, I really can't pull away to guard against that stingy ghost!

As a result, today Kobe Bryant is simply invincible on the offensive end.

Without Wayne's help in defense, relying on guns alone would not be able to hold the MVP with bursting self-confidence.

Kobe Bryant's continuous and efficient offense is the reason why the Trail Blazers have not been able to grasp the initiative.

At this time, the Trail Blazers, who are seven points behind, must do a good job of defending this time to retain a glimmer of hope.

Chairman Yao leaned on Wayne's key position as always, it doesn't matter if he catches the ball or not, the key is not to let Wayne run around.

Wayne was sweating profusely, and the collar of his jersey was completely soaked.

There is a child of more than 300 pounds and delicate skills in front of me, do you know how desperate I am?

Just finished carrying the dazed, and came to carry Tuyao again.

It's really hard to get a job.

Yao Ming completely nailed Wayne to death, and Lao Yu handed the ball to Kobe.

At this point, the rest of the Trail Blazers didn't dare to wrap up, especially Yudoka.

If he misses Atay and causes him to kill the game with three points, then Yuduka will be a sinner for the ages.

Artay's three-point shooting percentage so far in this year's playoffs is actually not good, only 32.1%.

But that's better than Ariza who couldn't shoot last season!

Odom's three-point shooting percentage in the playoffs has also picked up, so he really doesn't dare to gamble at crunch time.

In this way, Kobe Bryant singled out with his back and turned over and jumped without help.

"Brush!"

Basketball hit, the Lakers led by 9 points in the final moments!

Kobe Bryant's shooting almost sentenced the Trail Blazers to death!

After scoring the goal, Bryant compared his hand to a gun, put it to his mouth and blew it — a gesture Wayne used to do after scoring the crucial shot last season.

Now, Kobe Bryant has returned it all.

"Beautiful goal, MVP killed the game! Unless a miracle happens, the Trail Blazers can't win the game! ”

At this point, there were only 28 seconds left until the end of the race.

Most of the fans have turned off their televisions because the winner has been decided.

But there are still some fans, especially Chinese fans, who are still in front of the TV, clenched into fists.

The last time the Lakers made the Trail Blazers so desperate, Wayne finished the game with 4:05 to the end.

This time there are still 28 seconds, maybe there will be a drama!

However, 4 seconds and 5 minutes can be replicated wherever you want to, and if you send Maddie back to December 9, four years ago, he may not be able to replicate a 35.13 minutes.

Sure enough, this time Wayne's shot from outside the three-point line was interfered with by Odom and Atay, and finally stumbled out of the frame.

Yao Ming grabbed the rebound, and the Lakers kept the ball!

Seeing this, Milicic immediately fouled Chairman Yao and sent him to the free throw line.

However, Chairman Yao used his strength to explain what it means to be a bullet.

Although he was already very tired, Chairman Yao's free throw rhythm was not affected in any way.

He, like Wayne, likes to pause on top of his head when he makes free throws.

Two free throws and two hits, the Lakers lead by 11 points!

If Kobe Bryant was already equivalent to a headshot just now, then Yao Ming ran up and made up for a shot on the corpse of the Trail Blazers.

Although Wayne scored a goal afterwards, it didn't help.

In the end, the Trail Blazers lost to the Lakers by 9 points at the Staples Center!

The Trail Blazers suffered their first loss in the playoffs this season, while the Lakers have won a nine-game winning streak since entering the playoffs!

Kobe Bryant scored 36 points in the game, Yao Ming had 21 points and 10 rebounds, and Tai Tai scored 15 points.

On the Trail Blazers' side, except for Gun'er and Wayne, no one scored in double figures.

Gasol, who was on the bench, gritted his teeth and hated it!

If it weren't for the fact that I was injured......

The moment the game ended, Wayne turned and left the court.

To be honest, it's definitely not a good mood to lose, let alone this kind of critical battle.

Paul looked at Wayne, also a little lost.

He swore he had just done everything he could to defend Kobe, but that was just going to get in!

The two talked for so long yesterday, but they were immediately hit in the face today.

After the sister-in-law in the suit came back, she said that she wanted to come back to play the Western finals, and he couldn't watch the team fall into the abyss like this.

As a result, after participating in confrontational training the next day, my sister-in-law's legs immediately felt uncomfortable, and the pain was unbearable after the training.

No way, the comeback plan can only be called off urgently, and the Trail Blazers still have to fight against the 70-win Lakers without Gasol!

In the second game of the Western Conference Finals, Wayne completely broke out, making 8 of 11 three-pointers and scoring 43 points!

It was only four points away from a career-high 48 points.

When Wayne's three-point explosion occurs, no matter what defensive strategy you have for the Lakers, it will not be easy to use.

Thanks to Wayne's efforts, the Trail Blazers won their second game in Los Angeles and turned the series to a 1-1 draw!

Despite the loss, the Zen master was still very calm at the press conference: "I never imagined that I could get through easily, the Portland Trail Blazers are a very strong team, no matter who wins in the end, the winner is an easy winner."

It was a shame to lose a home game, but we still had the upper hand! ”

The Zen master's words translate as: "Don't panic, let the bullets fly a little longer." As long as the bullet is fired, sooner or later it will kill someone. ”

So, in the third scene, the bullet fired by the Zen master worked.

Wayne struggled in the second half of the game today, and his shooting percentage dropped below 45 percent at one point.

The sentence that Director Zhang, who commented on the game, kept repeating: "Wayne is really tired!" ”

Well, most of the time before, this phrase was used on Chairman Yao.

But this time, the phrase was used on Wayne.

Since the last round of the series, he has been a father and a mother, and he has been grinding with Duncan for four full games.

In the Western Conference Finals, you have to fight hand-to-hand with Chairman Yao.

When Chairman Yao was out of the break, he had to continue to fight hand-to-hand with the little shark, the elder of the beautiful country of the Fuai family.

No matter how strong the cow is, he can't plow it!

Wayne's physical fitness is really good, but it's not beyond human limits yet. It's like a person with a who's physical pervert, you can't ask him to jump off the three-point line for a dunk.

No matter how good your physical fitness is, there is a limit.

In the second half of today's game, Wayne was at the limit.

His efficiency in the second half was very low for a while, and it was not until the fourth quarter that he relied on the effect of the "big heart killer" to barely pull the shooting percentage back.

It's also a shame that when Wayne couldn't score, the cannon carried the banner.

Otherwise, even the "moment of truth" condition cannot be triggered.

In this way, the Lakers won the third game with an 8-point advantage. The guardian of the Rose Garden, this time did not protect his territory.

2-1, the Lakers lead again!

While the Trail Blazers and Lakers played similarly anxiously last season, Portland fans have a vague sense of something different this season......

Although it was intense last season, it felt like the Lakers were chasing behind.

And this year, it is the pioneers who have been desperately chasing behind.

2-1, although only three games were played in the best-of-seven series.

But the Trail Blazers have been cornered.

Think about it, if you lose the next game again, let the Lakers return to Los Angeles with a 3-1 lead......

Therefore, from the next game, the Trail Blazers will enter the rhythm of life and death!

In the fourth battle, it was noticed that Wayne was wearing a pair of white silk ......

Well, in fact, I wore a pair of leg protectors.

Because Wayne vaguely felt that his calves were a little sore, it was probably caused by being too tired.

"Man of Steel" only allowed Wayne to avoid major injuries, but it didn't say that it could allow Wayne to fight normal fatigue injuries.

In today's game, Kobe Bryant ate Wayne as soon as he came up.

Only then did people notice that the Trail Blazers let Darko defend Yao Ming today, and Wayne continued to return to his most comfortable assistant defense position.

Then, the Lakers started frantically sending the ball inside.

In the eighth minute of the first quarter, when Chairman Yao faced Milicic to complete the hook, scored his sixth point in the game, and let the Lakers overtake, Wayne walked up to Milicic and touched the hair of the goods.

Milicic has officially entered the form of a fighting nation!

In the game that followed, Mitch made Chairman Yao very, very uncomfortable.

Although Mickey is not yet touched to kick Chairman Yao and punch the little shark.

But at least it put a lot of pressure on Yao Ming.

In the second half, Yao Ming, who was tortured by Mickey, began to decline in efficiency, and Chairman Yao's physical problems began to appear!

At one point, Jackson had to use a small shark on top.

But the current Bynum is not at the same level as Chairman Yao on the offensive end.

In this way, the Trail Blazers only need to concentrate on Kobe!

On the last attack of the third quarter, the pass to Wayne was stabbed by Kobe Bryant, who suddenly rushed out.

At this point, P.J. Brown, who came off the bench, wanted to catch the ball.

Unexpectedly, he suddenly gave butter hands......

Originally, if he didn't take it, this ball would be Kobe Bryant's out of bounds.

But he didn't catch it, which was very embarrassing.

So, the old Brown, who is nearly 40 years old, can't care about anything else, rushing out of the bottom line is to fly and jump, and he was stunned to get the ball back!

Wayne, who was one step inside the three-point line, received the basket and then rushed to the basket.

Bynum was a little unresponsive, and just raised his hands high.

As a result, Wayne directly burst out, and scored through the hands of the little shark who raised his arms high!

"Separate people and deduct them! P.J. Brown's save gives the Trail Blazers a lost chance! The Trail Blazers have an eight-point lead and this is their best game! ”

Wayne yelled when he landed, and Bynum nudged Wayne unwillingly.

Well, I don't dare to push hard.

I can only weakly express my dissatisfaction.

The eight-point advantage was maintained by the Trail Blazers until the end of the third quarter.

In the fourth quarter, Yao Ming obviously hasn't recovered yet, and both offensive and defensive ends have been affected.

Defensively, Milicic was very slow, and Milicic burst Yao Ming twice.

At this time, to be honest, whenever the Zen master lets Bynum go up, although the offense is not so good, the defense will never pull the hips.

But the Zen master is notoriously unfond of using Bynum at critical moments, and he just doesn't trust this stunned guy.

Therefore, at the critical moment, the Zen master still sent Yao Ming, who was already exhausted.

In the end, it also paid the price - Wayne broke through Yao Ming twice in a row before the bag came up and successfully scored, completely ending the game!

2-2, the Trail Blazers stubbornly equalized again!

The Pioneer gives people the feeling that they can't be beaten to death.

Every time, when people thought they couldn't get back up again, they bit the Lakers hard.

You think they're going to be finished, but they win a game.

However, the loss of this game also completely angered Kobe.

"We're not going to drag the game into a tie-break!" Coe said.

In this way, in the fifth game in Los Angeles, Kobe Bryant went down to earth and swept away 47 points.

In this game, Wayne touched Milicic and Pao'er's shots respectively, but even Pao'er, who entered berserk mode, failed to contain Kobe.

Kobe: Who doesn't have a beast form? Come today, don't treat me like a human being.

In the last 13.2 seconds of the game, the Trail Blazers trailed by 2 points, and as long as they prevented this ball, they had a chance to fight back.

As a result, Kobe Bryant used a three-point shot against Wayne to expand the difference to 5 points and end everything!

Wayne was stupid, and with his height and reach, he believed that Kobe Bryant couldn't see the basket the moment he shot.

But it's outrageous!

Your "Big Heart Killer" is probably diamond!

The Trail Blazers really lacked someone who could defend Kobe.

3-2, the Los Angeles Lakers got the match point again!

Wayne said that he would work hard in the Rose Garden, and no one doubted it, including Kobe.

But he also responded: "Even if I have to be carried out on a stretcher in the end, I will not give in to the rose garden!" ”

The war between two stingy ghosts is full of a strong atmosphere of middle two.

Back in the sixth game, everyone was expecting the Blazers to continue to stage a comeback drama.

Only this time......

Today, the Zen master strictly controls Yao Ming's appearance time, just to avoid an early collapse of his physical fitness.

Kobe Bryant and Wayne fought a fairy battle, scoring each other's points, and no one could stop anyone.

In the end, Kobe Bryant scored 45 points and Wayne scored 46 points, which basically became a one-man show for the two.

If people want to understand how fierce the competition between Kobe Bryant and Wayne is in the future, then this game is the best interpretation.

It's the pinnacle of two of the most successful athletes of our time!

In the last 27 seconds of the game, Kobe Bryant shot the iron, and Wayne and Yao Ming fought for rebounds under the basket.

Because the confrontation in the air was very fierce, the two people clicked the basketball at the same time, but they didn't get the ball.

After landing, Wayne was about to jump again for the second time, but seeing that Chairman Yao's foot, which had already gone straight into the steel spike, was about to step on his instep, Wayne didn't want to dodge it in a hurry.

But it also made him miss the opportunity to scramble for rebounds.

Yi Tai hurriedly rushed in to pick the fruit, and handed the ball to Lao Yu after winning the frontcourt rebound.

The cuckold expert was stunned for a moment...... Atai, your heart is black enough, you throw this pot to me......

Wait, if I made this one, wouldn't it be ......

So the old fish did not hesitate, and threw the ball after receiving it.

What even he didn't expect was ...... This is a great goal!

Three-point hit, Fisher's three-pointer left the Trail Blazers six points behind!

If the Lakers win the game in the end, then Fischer's goal will undoubtedly be the most crucial goal of the game!

A whole series was blown up by the guns, and the old fish, who has basically been making negative contributions, can blow it for three or five years with this goal.

Some people, life is good.

"Xiao Wei, you just ......" Yao Ming knew that Wayne didn't jump just now in order to land himself safely.

Protecting opponents is the way they should be, but this time the price of protecting them is a bit ......

"Don't talk about Brother Yao, we haven't lost yet!" Wayne didn't entangle with Yao Ming too much, and decided that he did it himself, so he had to bear the consequences.

It's a pity that the score difference is too big and the time is too short.

In the end, the Trail Blazers lost to the Lakers with a three-point gap.

This also means......

The Los Angeles Lakers will advance to the Finals with a total score of 4-2!

"Hahaha, win, win! Huh!? The moment Kobe Bryant won, he ran over and was ready to find Yao Ming to hug.

Unexpectedly, Yao Ming was the first to run towards Wayne.

"Xiao Wei, Xiao Wei! ...... Thank you! Yao Ming called out to Wayne, and then forcefully took Wayne into his arms.

Wayne smiled wryly, what do you think I can do?

I'm struggling!

"Go and get the championship, and then we'll see you in Beijing." Wayne patted Chairman Yao on the back, then reflexively prepared to leave.

At this time, he saw Pao'er sitting on the bench, with a towel on his head, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

Wayne walked over and rested his head against Cannon's head.

'We played well, but they also won the game. It was painful, but they did win the fair. So, don't be so sorry.

You've done a great job this year, Chris, it's me who isn't strong enough, it's me who isn't strong enough...... I'm sorry I broke my promise that night. ”

As Wayne spoke, Cannon suddenly put his arms around Wayne's neck. Neither of them spoke again, and at this time, no need to speak is worth a thousand words.

When Kobe Bryant looked on the court after celebrating, he found that Wayne and Cannon were no longer there.

He sighed, if he could, he would rather eliminate someone else himself.

On May 29, 2008, the Portland Trail Blazers came to the end of their title defense.

Wayne failed to accomplish his goal of winning a consecutive championship, and he was left with a pimple in his heart.

A team cannot be called an era, a bunch of talents.

This time, it was the Angelenos who stood out.

Summer nights in the Rose Garden have never been so heavy......
