7 years ago, the Western Conference Finals.

Portland Trail Blazers vs Los Angeles Lakers.

From the perspective of now, there must be no suspense in that round of the series.

Because everyone knows that that was the beginning of a dynasty for the Lakers.

Everyone also knows that after that season, the Trail Blazers embarked on the road of no return for the prison team.

Historically, the Lakers and Trail Blazers in the 21st century are not at all a level team.

So if you have a wave of impressions, you might feel that the Lakers should win very easily.

Not really.

That year, Kobe Bryant was still an ambitious young talent, and Shaq was also in the most immature year of the three-consecutive championship period, and there was still a difference between the momentum of God blocking and killing God in the last two years.

The cunning "Roof of the World" Sabonis and the young Rashid even embarrassed Shaq very much at one point.

At that time, the battle situation was not a one-sided crush, but both sides won one game each, and then two games each, until the tie-break.

That's right, the Trail Blazers pushed the Lakers to a tie-break!

And in the tie-break match, with more than ten minutes left in the fourth quarter, the Trail Blazers also led the Lakers by 15 points!

At the time, everyone thought the Lakers were finished and the Trail Blazers were going back to the top. Allen's money is finally no longer just a waste of money.

As a result, in the fourth quarter of the game, the Lakers staged a classic super reversal.

There was a time in the fourth quarter when the Trail Blazers experienced seven minutes without a score.

The Lakers seized the opportunity, pressed the score, and finally overtook it.

That's it, the Lakers grabbed seven and entered the Finals!

This also makes for a great OK combination.

Without a 15-point comeback in the final quarter, the greatest three-game dynasty of the 21st century would have ceased to exist.

Therefore, the reunion of the Trail Blazers and Lakers is far from as simple as it seems on the surface.

Seven years on, both teams are on the same page.

The Trail Blazers directly changed a group of people, although the Lakers still have Kobe, Fisher, and a top center, but they are also very different from the beginning.

The people who compete have changed, but one thing will never change - the competition between the two sides is still fierce!

Don't look at Kobe's Chinese sentences before are really funny, but as soon as the game came up, Kobe Bryant let Wayne realize what is called Los Angeles Little Ponylon.

In the first offense, Bryant singled Parker with the ball.

Wayne put Odom in the bottom corner two steps and shrank into the three-point line, ready to help defend.

Sure enough, Bryant broke through Parker with ease. And that's not to blame Parker, after all, he's up against one of the most difficult players in the league to defend.

The best way to defend him is to wait for him to strike the iron himself.

After Bryant broke through, Wayne immediately made up for it.

is to bet on Odangdang, this point is unstable.

In a duel like this with close strength, defense is actually a process of tearing down the east wall and making up the west wall.

If you want to say that you are completely guarding the Lakers like the Jazz and the Suns, that's a dream.

Bryant saw Wayne come up on defense, but didn't pass the ball.

Are you kidding.

I'm Kobe. Bryant, eh!

I've never had a good pass button!

It's not that I don't want to pass, it's that I pressed the pass button and it doesn't respond.

What can I do? Only singles!

"Bang!"

The bodies of the two of them touched together solidly, and the hatred and resentment accumulated from the dozens of mutual text messages all sparked at this moment.

Touched the hardness that the Western Conference Finals should have.

Then just as Kobe Bryant was leaning on Wayne to break through, he inadvertently swung his elbow and Wayne in the stomach.

Wayne suddenly held his breath in pain, although the Iron Man ensured that Wayne would not be seriously injured, but it would not shield Wayne's pain.

Ma Dan Kobe, you're not kind.

Coming to martial arts as soon as you come up? Don't warm up with two sentences of text first?

Kobe Bryant doesn't engage in those virtual things, this is the Western Conference Finals.

The intensity of the confrontation has been upgraded compared to the previous two rounds.

In this way, Bryant got rid of Wayne, burst into the restricted area and avoided Wayne's chase with a beautiful pull-up layup, ending the offense.

If this ball is changed to Xiao Si, Wayne will definitely be able to mention it again.

But Kobe Bryant wasn't that stupid, he knew that Wayne wasn't a vegetarian, so he didn't think that an easy layup could score.

So, I played a hand-changing lever.

In the first attack, Kobe Bryant successfully elbowed a way for the Lakers.

Los Angeles Little Ponyon, worthy of its name!

After Kobe Bryant scored, he glanced at Yao Ming, and Yao Ming also nodded, not knowing what they were talking about.

In that case, Wayne didn't want to pretend.

They are all people in the same way, and they all fight is a kind of boxing method.

If you make a move first, don't blame me for standing up.

"Oops, I'm Cao! The referee helps, Artai saves me! ”

After a round, Lamar. Odom began to call C...... under Wayne's fierce assault Wailed.

Gasso pulled Yao Ming high and Wayne took a position on the edge of the three-second zone, leaning his back against Odom.

Wayne thought that Yao Ming and Kobe Bryant were eyebrow-raising just now, and it was Yao Ming who was going to defend himself, but it didn't.

Judging from the TV, maybe Wayne just leaned on Odom, which is nothing.

But this process of grabbing positions is actually very intense.

In the Western Conference Finals, everyone should be the leader, why should people let you easily receive the ball in the low post.

Therefore, every important position is actually a hand-to-hand war.

The war on the basketball court often begins before the ball is received.

Wayne sat back against Odom as he propped up his elbows and pushed back.

Odom tried to resist, but was defeated.

Atai? Atay can't save you even if he comes.

As everyone knows, he is the first person in the NBA to succumb to Wayne's elbow.

Atai looked at the TV and shook his head slightly.

Instead of making useless resistance, try to enjoy the process.

Next to each other, you will find that it is as if you are still uncomfortable without elbows for a day.

I've been feeling bad for a long time.

From the TV, the details of these confrontations are not visible. Only by experiencing it first-hand can you know what it means to be called the Western Conference Finals.

When Odom was pushed into the three-second zone, Paul also lifted the ball lightly and passed it to Wayne.

Wayne was excited, my silver "Kobe Bryant" finally came into play!

After receiving the ball, Odom was still guessing how Wayne would finish the offense.

But Wayne didn't give Odom a chance to think at all, and the moment he received the ball, he turned in the direction of the baseline, jumped up, and shot.

This sudden jump shot without any feints made Odom a little unprepared and reacted half a beat slower.

The basketball hit steadily, and Wayne immediately returned the color!

"Beautiful! We've improved a lot this season with a turnaround and lean, which has become one of his most lethal moves. ”

Odom is a bit autistic, and he was unlucky to meet this kind of top big forward in two consecutive rounds.

It's a bit unlucky, because to be exact, Odang is three consecutive rounds against the top forward.

It's just that in the first round of Spurs, Yao Ming helped him get Duncan, and Odom escaped.

But Dirk and Wayne, tall SGs who play on the outside, are not something that Yao Ming can help him.

Despite Dirk's baptism, Odom still feels fucked.

Dirk's offense is strong, and Yan Xie is hot.

But people don't easily support their elbows!

This Wayne is going to elbow me into a dead end as soon as he comes up.

Wayne can't help it, it's all your boss who forced me.

Fisher slowly dribbled the ball up, and this time the ball was passed to Yao Ming.

McMillan's strategy is to let Gasso defend Yao Ming alone, and Wayne will not go to the bag for the time being, to see if Gaso can defend against it.

The eldest sister-in-law is in the international arena, and she really has a back and forth fight with Yao Ming. This year's regular season against Yao Ming is not particularly at a loss.

But Yao Ming in the Western Conference Finals is different from Yao Ming in peacetime.

After everyone pulled away, Yao Ming used his back to feel Gasuo's defense.

Then, he chose an attack that was exactly the same as Wayne's - a turnaround jumper!

Yao Ming's turnaround jumper did not fall back, and he didn't jump high, but the shot point was very high.

Gasol tried hard to seal it, and it looked like the ball had been sealed on Yao Ming's face.

But Yao Ming didn't blink his eyes, and his shooting action was still steady, showing his soft feel that did not match his height.

Basketball is 4-2 again!

"Wonderful, it's a showdown between superstars! Every single person who stepped up and scored a great goal. Yao and Wei, they both scored. Kobe Bryant was right, these two Chinese players will feel the trend of the game! ”

Kobe took the initiative to go up and high-five Yao Ming, and after a season, Kobe and Yao Ming got along very happily.

When Yao Ming was playing in the low post, Kobe Bryant would never be verbose.

Because when he wants to play singles, Yao Ming won't say a word.

Shaq, who is even more angry than the one who can't get the ball, doesn't know where to go!

In the eyes of the current Kobe, Yao Ming is better than Shaq.

Shakter, I can't understand the ball!

Sure enough, men love freshness.

Yao Ming scored a goal to help the Lakers take the lead again.

But before the Lakers fans could eat a bite of bud rice, the score was equalized again.

This time, it was Paul who scored.

Fisher was known for his defensive eyes, so the Zen master's strategy was to have Tiezha help the cuckold fish clean up the mess.

Bryant?

Kobe Bryant has to keep his fitness on the offensive end.

In the regular season, Kobe Bryant's defensive cannon ended up being that Kobe Bryant was tired of pulling his hips on the offensive end.

The conscientious Tiezha did lean on for the first time, but the cannon was not afraid at all, and insisted on relying on Zaza to break through to the basket and score a layup.

Although Yao Ming protects the frame under the basket, he can't defend every ball.

4-4, just a few rounds after the game began, the two teams began to go toe-to-toe.

"Chris. Splash! He brought his excellent form from the previous round to the Western Conference Finals. Believe me, he's become an integral strength for the Trail Blazers.

He's the X-factor, and he's going to bring a lot of uncertainty to this series. ”

Paul's goal didn't surprise Bryant.

After all, he had already told Yao Ming that that dwarf winter melon would become a problem.

As it turned out, Bryant didn't look away.

Well, he'd like to see it now......

If only there was the vision of Old Man Qiao.

Jordan: Finally someone admits that I've got a good eye!

"Defend solidly, defend solidly, don't let them score again!" After the gun scored, Wayne immediately clapped his hands and shouted.

Now he doesn't have to worry about trash talk, and although it hasn't been long since the game started, Wayne feels that this game is really different from before.

It feels like every round is a real showdown, and every round is not sloppy.

Although everyone responded to Wayne's call and retreated very aggressively, the Lakers still scored.

Moreover, it was Yao Ming who scored the goal!

Yao Ming received the ball in the low post for the second round in a row, which was something that no one expected.

Kobe Bryant was so arrogant before, was it just a feint?

Could it be that Kobe Bryant just made eye contact with Yao Ming, just to let Yao Ming fight?

This is not in line with Kobe's character!

This time, the Lakers still helped Yao Ming open up space, and then sat and watched Yao Ming play with his sister-in-law in the low post.

Even in Mosaic at the beginning, it was rare to see Yao Ming attack continuously as soon as the game came up.

Is there still a Kobe Bryant on the outside line? Don't use it?

Zen Master: Eight uses!

The triangle offense can create one-on-one opportunities for a star, but that star doesn't necessarily mean Kobe.

How? No one really thinks that Xiao Si is the league's No. 1 center, right?

Now the real No. 1 center is on my hands!

Isn't it the right thing I should do if I give the first center a couple of singles tactics?

The Zen master's strategy really surprised everyone, after all, everyone thought that Kobe Bryant was going to start the one-on-five mode as soon as he came up.

So why would Kobe Bryant be willing to watch Yao Ming play unscrupulously in such a crucial game?

It stands to reason that this power-hungry demon shouldn't be able to stand this kind of thing.

Kobe Bryant didn't make a fuss because he knew that he would have a chance to make a move later!

The Lakers' strategy is to maximize Yao Ming's value while he is in good shape.

Especially in the first quarter and the first part of the second quarter, Yao Ming will have more shots.

A physically energetic Yao Ming is not so easy to stop.

Yao Ming's threat in the low position is indeed very strong, and it can't be prevented at all without joint defense.

In Wayne's previous life, Spain beat China in the 08 Olympics, Yao Ming was defended very badly, and many people bragged about how Gasol was bullish.

But in fact, it was not the credit of my sister-in-law alone, but that Spain had thoroughly studied Yao Ming!

The whole team blocked Yao Ming, and he didn't let him receive the ball comfortably.

Although the Chinese team got a lot of opportunities on the outside because of this, they didn't have eggs, and people put you on the outside line, knowing that your outside line was an egg.

Therefore, the Chinese team lost the game and missed the opportunity to make history.

But if you let your sister-in-law carry Yao Ming one-on-one without support, he can't stand it.

In the previous two series, the Zen master did not use this strategy.

Because...... Not necessarily.

Kobe Bryant or Yao Ming, as long as they play normally, they can win the game.

But to play the Trailblazers, the Zen master has to distribute the physical strength of the players.

Under the defense of the Trail Blazers, Kobe Bryant and Yao Ming will be unbearable no matter who does it from beginning to end.

Therefore, the Zen master's attack has been meticulous to the point of allocating the right to shoot according to physical fitness and time period.

Old man KFC just doesn't like to call a timeout but if you think he's like D'Anthony and Avery. Johnson has no goods in his stomach, but he looks down on people too much.

Yao Ming scored, 6-4, and the game has been played so far, and neither side has had a successful defense.

From the first minute, the game went straight to the white-hot stage.

Subsequently, the two sides fought inextricably, attacking and defending each other.

Yao Ming made various operations in the low post, and Kobe Bryant played as an assistant on the outside.

On the Trailblazers' side, Wayne and Cannon also killed three in and three out, and no one was invincible.

After the first quarter of the game, Yao Ming scored 9 points in a single quarter, 3 points more than Kobe.

Wayne scored 10 points in a single quarter, and Paolo scored 6 points in a single quarter, singing a two-man play.

But Yao Ming's playing time in the first quarter was three minutes less than Wayne's.

Gasuo: Don't worry about me, I'm lonely. Let's play, have fun. It's okay, it's really okay......

27-27, the Trail Blazers and Lakers tied in the first quarter!

"Yao and Wei, they showed everyone the magical power of the East! In the first quarter of the game, it was completely dominated by two Chinese players! ”

The American commentary exclaimed.

"At the end of the first quarter, Yao Ming and Wayne played well, and we can look forward to their next performance!" The Chinese commentator was very excited.

"Gasuo didn't show much in the first quarter, Yao and Wei are really strong!" Spain's commentary has, frightened, this Nima, and the 08 Olympics will have one more strong opponent?

After the first quarter, McMillan and KFC also looked at each other.

Yes, there is something indeed!

McMillan wasted no time, picked up the tactical board and walked over to Wayne: "Bag clip!" ”

"Clip so early?"

"Clip!"

"Tight or loose?"

"Tight! Tight clips! ”

“O98K。”

On the other side, the Zen master also squatted in front of Odom: "Later, maybe the three-point chance will find you." Cast on the opposite side as you like, you can vote. But remember, be slow and calm down. ”

"I ...... As much as possible? So far in the playoffs, Odandown, who has only 27.3 percent three-point shooting, replied.

Soon, the break ended, and players from both sides took to the field again.

Every quarter, every round, is a fierce game.

Just like seven years ago.

Wayne looked at Yao Ming, and Odangdang looked at Wayne.

Whoever wants to take whomever is not a random matter.

The fierce battle will continue for a long time......
