In a best-of-seven match, winning the first two home games basically means stepping into the next round of the stage with half a foot.

In the NBA, there has always been a saying that if you don't win on the road, the playoffs don't start.

Does this statement make sense?

It certainly makes sense.

However, as long as there is no away win, the leading team still has the possibility of being overturned.

It's just that the premise of this sentence is that in the previous game, the two teams played really inseparable, and both teams could pull each other off the horse in the game.

But the first two games between the Seattle SuperSonics and the Lakers have been very obvious.

It's clearly not a close fight.

The Lakers' biggest advantage over the SuperSonics is that their run-and-gun triangle offensive system is indeed very strong.

Any defensive player who can support Kobe Bryant to play supersonic in the game.

As long as Kobe Bryant can break down his own defenders in the game with the support of this tactical system, the strength of the Lakers will be considerable.

However, in the first two games, Kobe Bryant challenged Yes, the most defensive outside player of the supersonic team, and ended in failure.

Kobe Bryant and Phil Jackson are not stupid, why did they let Rondo not collapse, but Collapse Leaves?

Of course, it's because it's useless to collapse Rondo!

In last season's Finals, Wade collapsed Rondo into that miserable appearance, and in the end, wasn't the Heat still collapsed by the SuperSonics?

And the overall advantage of the Heat in the face of supersonic is much better than the overall advantage of the Lakers in the face of supersound!

In fact, the Lakers lost two games in a row, and both of them were by a large margin, all because the overall strength of their team was rigidly restrained by the SuperSonics, not because Kobe Bryant scored many fewer points than Yes, or because his performance was not so good.

The whole world knows that Yes is the key to the supersound, and Yes must not be allowed to play as he wants, Yes must be suppressed, and the player who can suppress Yes is Kobe Bryant in the entire Lakers.

And even Kobe Bryant, in fact, it can't be said to be suppressed, it can only be said to be restricted.

Kobe Bryant and the Lakers want to sanction Rondo.

But who will suppress Yes?

When the time comes, it will be really fatal to release all the strength of Yes, and the first two games of the regular season this season are not like that?

Kobe Bryant went to suppress Rondo, not only did he not suppress Rondo, but also leaked Yes, the Yes who were leaked out, the organizational ability was simply desperate, and in the end, Kobe was humiliated by Rondo, and almost didn't collapse Kobe's mentality.

Since then, when the Los Angeles Lakers played the Seattle SuperSonics, Phil Jackson and Kobe Bryant didn't dare to make a roundabout Hondo, and they all let Kobe fight directly with Yes.

Basically, it's true that you can't spell it, but Ye Si can't completely bring up the supersound, basically Kobe and Ye Si can also be regarded as fighting four or five, if Kobe is in good shape, maybe it's five or five.

If the Lakers won the first game of the Western Conference finals, Phil Jackson would be willing to say that Kobe Bryant would fight for Yese, and he could fight a six-4 when he was in the best condition, but didn't he lose in the end?

Therefore, in the end the Lakers were not able to fight the supersonic in Kobe's good state, and Phil Jackson and the Lakers actually knew that this round of the series was desperate.

"The SuperSonics are really the nemesis of the Lakers in the league!"

No way, the SuperSonics are a real Lakers.

Phil Jackson can be sure that the team will not have such passivity and desperate passivity when facing any team in the league, even the Heat.

But there is no way, the Lakers are really facing no other team, or the Seattle SuperSonics.

left Seattle with the team and returned to Los Angeles, but Phil Jackson's face did not feel the slightest relaxation, and he was still so dignified and uncomfortable.

"How's Ron's injury now?"

Artest though he has now changed his name to Charity World Peace.

But with the Los Angeles Lakers, no one would call him charity or world peace.

People still call him Ron.

Artest was injured by Yes in the first game of hand-to-hand combat with Yes.

Artest didn't play in the second game, and whether he would play in the next game or not, the Lakers are also uncertain.

After 100 days of injuries, Artest's injury was not so serious, it was just a muscle strain, but it also needed to rest.

"Ron said he could play in the next game."

D'Antoni did not say what the doctor's opinion was, but Artest's own opinion, for this round of the series, Artest is no longer the team doctor's decision, only Artest himself and the team's head coach Phil Jackson can really decide.

Artest is still very scrappy.

Finally, Phil Jackson sighed slightly.

As a smart person, it is actually the most painful time when you are desperate.

People who are not so smart can think more and think that they still have a chance, as those media reporters do.

But smart people have no way to deceive themselves, and they force themselves to believe that they still have a chance when they don't have a chance.

In fact, there is no need to play the third game now, in fact, after the first game, he and the Lakers did not reach the goal, the Lakers' desperate bet has failed, and the fate of him and the Lakers has been decided.

Although the Lakers know that this series has no chance.

I wouldn't really expect that the home court hadn't been lost yet, and there would still be a chance in the playoffs, but after returning to Los Angeles on May 22, at the Los Angeles Lakers' training gym, the Lakers looked at the Los Angeles fans inside and outside the training hall who were frantically chanting their names, Phil Jackson and Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles players were still very moved.

From the point of view of the players and coaches, the game has reached this point, and no matter how many reasons and statements there are, there is no way to explain it to the fans.

The Lakers have not been without miserable times in the history of the Lakers, and it is even more common to be swept in the playoffs, the Lakers have been ridiculed by Celtics fans for not having the tenacity of the giants, and they are desperate when they encounter difficulties, as long as they play the Lakers 3-0, the Lakers will definitely be very aristocratic to send 4-0 up, and they will never want to turn 3-0 into 3-1.

Therefore, the purple and gold aristocrats of the Los Angeles Lakers were also ridiculed by Celtics fans as 'purple and gold kneeling', whose knees were too soft and did not have the iron-blooded temperament of a giant like the Celtics.

Is this true?

Well, to some extent that's true, the Lakers really don't have that kind of iron-blooded gene.

When it comes to underestimation, the Lakers really don't have the breath of the Celtics, and sometimes they become like those funny aristocrats fighting in the European Middle Ages.

In this year's playoffs, if the Celtics are replaced by the Lakers, they will definitely be swept by the Heat without any suspense.

But the Celtics gritted their teeth and persevered, and suddenly broke out in the last game, blocking the Heat's five-eight sweeping plan.

A team has never developed such a temperament and culture, and even if one of its players has such a temperament, they will eventually be drowned in the fact that basketball is a five-player sport.

Hearing the Lakers fans around him cheering his name like this, Kobe Bryant is definitely the player who the entire Lakers most want to do something in the future games, at least, in Los Angeles, in the territory that belongs to him and the Lakers, to give an explanation.

He Kobe Bryant is never cowardly!

Although the fans in Los Angeles did not ask them to have anything to say, they simply expressed their satisfaction with their previous games.

While the Los Angeles Lakers players were preparing for the rest of the game with a very tangled mood, Yees and the Seattle SuperSonics were preparing for UCLA University with much easier.

The Lakers are their favorite team to play, and they have been expecting the Lakers to be their Western Conference opponents even before the start of this series.

Now after two games, they know and are more familiar with this Lakers, which is indeed their favorite team.

As long as Yes can suppress Kobe, they can really hang the Lakers up and play in all directions, and they have an advantage in almost every position.

"Yes, before you enter the finals, you are going to win 12 in a row!"

In UCLA's training hall, as the host of UCLA University, Avralo Kevin Love, who claims to be a friend of Yes, and Westbrook and other core players of former UCLA University are watching the Seattle SuperSonics practice.

In the current UCLA University training hall, not only the players of Afflalo, but also the previous Bill Walton and even earlier Bill Wharton, Skyhook Abdul-Jabbar and others are all here now.

In fact, these people have been following the Seattle SuperSonics before, just because they can't get into the Seattle SuperSonics training gym, and now, they can finally get close to the SuperSonics, a team destined to become NBA legends.

To what extent are these people exaggerating in order to get up close and personal with this supersonic?

Like Reggie Miller, they all dragged their families with cameras to record themselves and the supersonic bits and pieces as if they were going to shoot a documentary.

Even TNT and ESPN want to spend tens of millions of dollars from the SuperSonics to buy locker room time for each of the SuperSonics' playoff games in preparation for a documentary about the SuperSonics' 2010 all-win championship.

It's just that such demands from TNT and ESPN were ruthlessly rejected by Supersonic.

Of course, this kind of thing that ruins character cannot be done.

Now just open the locker room to do a documentary about winning the championship, if you don't win the championship, isn't it going to be slapped in the face to death?

While these media of the Supersonic this year's all-win winning documentary SuperSonics can refuse.

But if it's like a private documentary by NBA players, there's no way around it.

As long as they don't use these documentaries to make money, as long as they don't go to the SuperSonics' locker room, they follow the Seattle SuperSonics every game, every day, like fans, there's really nothing they can do.

"Yes, your voice is too cold, you should be excited, this is a complete victory!"

"We haven't won it all."

After Yass finished speaking at the camera that Aflaro was carrying, he turned and walked to the next one.

Yes didn't want to be the protagonist of these people's private documentaries.

However, they give face like this, but he can't help but give them face.

Just say a few words and pose a few times.

It doesn't affect anything.

Unlike Yes, the other Seattle SuperSonics players on the other side are enjoying the chase right now.

Except, of course, for the team's head coach, Nelson Sr.

"Now it seems like everybody thinks we can win all of them and go to the finals, and we can win all of them this season."

After the first two games with the Lakers, Nelson Sr. also felt that there was no problem with the sweep of this series, but the atmosphere was really hot.

After the first two games against the Lakers, the Heat, who had been selectively forgotten before, reappeared in the eyes of these people.

Because in the eyes of these people, the Lakers are past the opponent.

It's time for them to think about their next opponent.

And who is the next opponent of the Seattle SuperSonics?

Of course, it's the same 2-0 home game that leads the Magic Heat!

On May 23, 2010, the third game of the Eastern Conference Finals between the Heat and the Magic started first, this is the game where the Magic team returned to their home court, if the Magic win, there is still suspense in this series, and if the Heat win, then there is no suspense in this series.

Attention is back, and it's something that both Howard and James can feel.

So in this game, the two of them are really desperate.

On the western side, the Lakers are finished.

Those guys are looking for the next Yes opponent again!

Whether it's James or Howard, they want to take the spot of Yes's next opponent.

Especially for Howard, even if he is at a disadvantage now, he can't give up this position to James Wade and the Heat, even if it is exposed for one more day, even if it is discussed for one more day!

This season has been a nightmare for Howard.

He's a guy who likes to be in the spotlight, but except for being the focus of attention by Rondo with his flaming red lips, he's been transparent the rest of the time, so transparent that he lost the best defensive player, and even the best team!

If you don't expose yourself in front of the whole world, I'm afraid that soon these guys will forget that there is such a powerful person in the NBA.

It can be said that in order to expose more of the matchup between the Magic and the Heat G3, Howard is really fighting, desperate.

However, the final result was very miserable, even though Howard bombarded 32 points, 28 rebounds and 8 blocks in this game, which was extremely terrifying, but in the end the Magic still lost to the Heat 112-124.

The 3-0 score made the attention that came back pass by his side, and all focused on the Heat, Wade and James.

Looking at James, who had been disappointed with him before, was now in high spirits, Howard was very uncomfortable.

And on the other side of Los Angeles.

、

"We seem to be outdated now."

In fact, you don't need to watch the Heat surrounded by TV from the fact that all the Lakers celebrities of Abdul-Jabbar Magic are in the UCLA training hall, and everyone thinks that they are in the past tense where it is impossible to turn over.

"We're still in the center of the stage, and we haven't left yet!"

Looking at the Heat and James on TV, Kobe's hands were clenched tightly.

This time, I want to be different!
