At the end of the Western Conference semifinals with the Jazz, the Lakers breathed a sigh of relief.

After crossing the Jazz hurdle, the Lakers found that the two remaining opponents in the West, whether it was the supersonic or the Rockets, did not seem to be so difficult.

In the playoffs, all teams are more focused on their strengths, and if there is a strong point on the other side that they can't solve, it's really uncomfortable.

The overall strength of the Lakers is above the Jazz, but because of the strong point of Malone, which cannot be completely solved, the Lakers are playing very awkwardly.

After the series ended, Rodman didn't go to the night show for a long time, and he was actually practicing.

However, for those media, the Jazz's 0-4 rout is unlikely to make them feel that the Jazz have really caused much trouble to the Lakers.

At most, it's Malone who caused problems for the Lakers!

Therefore, after this round of the series, these American media began to report on the topic of who will end the Lakers' playoff winning streak.

Or will this year's Lakers go on a winning streak all the way?

Nor can these media outlets be blamed for thinking this way.

It's really the focus of the Lakers and Jazz, and the 4-0 score is really amazing!

Before the start of this series, the Jazz were considered to be perhaps the strongest team outside of the Lakers and Bulls!

The Jazz's record in the second half of the regular season is also second only to the Lakers and Bulls, and stronger than the Magic, SuperSonics and Rockets!

Plus now USA Today has ranked Malone third in the power list of active players.

Add to that the Jazz's roster depth is also adequate, and the team's chemistry is outstanding.

is such a jazz, and the Lakers led by Lin Han actually scored 4-0 in the playoffs!

This year's Lakers, that's really powerful and terrifying!

Compared with last year, this year's Lakers have more Mutombo and Joe Dumas and other strong players, which really doesn't have any shortcomings.

On the other hand, the Lakers' opponents, whether they are the Bulls or the Magic or the Rockets or the Supersonics, have their own large number of problems.

For example, this battle between the Eastern Conference champion Bulls and the Knicks, who are fourth in the East.

The Knicks are certainly no match for the Bulls.

The strength of the Bulls is indeed the only team in the league that can challenge the Lakers.

But in the second round of the East, Jordan is still using a lot of his step-back three-pointers!

Jordan actually made it to the playoffs and is still developing his three-point shooting skills!

What does this mean?

This represents an imperfect sense of urgency about his own strength!

A lot of players will develop their skills in the playoffs, and that's fine.

The problem is, the amount of effort it takes to develop skills!

And the goal of what level to develop a skill!

Looking at this series between Jordan and the Knicks, even if he loses, he has to develop his step-back three-pointers to the extreme.

Jordan is preparing for the next round against the Magic or the Pacers, and he has to do this!

It's just that in the face of the Magic or the Pacers, if Jordan comes like this again, will he be able to pass the test?

Perhaps, the Bulls, who pose the greatest threat to the Lakers, will die at the hands of the Magic by Jordan Waves!

This is a crisis for the bulls!

It's just that the Bulls still fully support Jordan's self-improvement.

There is nothing that can be done by the media pundits who support the Bulls and the Bulls fans.

"I haven't perfected yet, I took the Bulls to the Finals to face Lin Han and only lost, and if I really lost to the Magic or the Pacers in the Eastern Conference Finals, it would also be a loss."

"Lin Han is right in what he said, the runner-up is the biggest loser, I don't want to be a loser, let alone the biggest loser!"

That's what Jordan said in an interview after leading the Bulls to a 4-2 win over the Knicks.

Based on the strength of the Bulls and the Knicks, the Bulls don't need six games to eliminate the Knicks.

According to many people's opinions, the Bulls' strength is only five games at most to sweep the Knicks away.

Especially after Lin Han in the West swept the stronger Jazz with the Lakers 4-0, Jordan's elimination of the Knicks with a score of 4-2 will be particularly conspicuous.

It's just that Jordan doesn't seem to care about these public opinions.

Lin Han has always been in contact with Jordan, and after entering the playoffs, against the Heat and against the Knicks, Jordan really had a good time.

Lin Han also felt that Jordan's three-point skill of holding the ball with the ball in a step-back step may have been improved from lv1 to lv2 now!

That kind of three-point step back, in terms of difficulty, is definitely no worse than his dry three-pointers.

Ordinary people want to have a stable hit rate, that's impossible!

Even a player can't shoot 10 times in a season, such a difficult step-back three-pointer!

But what about Jordan?

In Game 6 against the Knicks, he hit 10 of those step-backs in one game!

When Jordan was able to hit 10 of those incredible step-back threes in the game, combined with his purple ball control and purple mid-range.

The whole stadium, from the inside to the outside, his offense really did it without any dead ends!

It's horrible!

Terrifying than his attack!

If he pairs a five-to-five bag with a three-pointer, then his Bryant-style back-to-back mid-range shot is a matter of watching the sky.

If he opens his schoolbag to Kobe Bryant and turns back, then his dry pull is to watch the sky and eat.

Don't look at him, it seems that there are no dead spots in the attack.

But in fact, there are still dead ends!

At the end of the day, it's the difference between his and Jordan's style that makes him different from Jordan's.

He admitted that after Jordan developed a purple-gold level of step-back three-pointers and upgraded this skill to lv2, Jordan's offense was already the first in the league!

However, although Jordan's offense is back to the first place in the league, if you want to talk about the strength comparison between the two sides, Lin Han feels that he is still stronger than Jordan.

If Jordan's purple-gold three-point skill is upgraded to lv3, and then further improves the purple-gold to purple, then he really can't suppress Jordan.

However, this is difficult, how can a purple skill be so easy to achieve!

Purple Skill - Purple Gold Skill with Purple Trait - Purple Gold Skill

Three levels, like a moat!

The game between the Bulls and the Knicks displeased many pro-Bulls media pundits in the United States.

I think Jordan is joking in the playoffs.

But regardless, the Bulls eliminated the Knicks 4-2 to become the second team to reach the division finals.

Compared with the Lakers and Bulls, who have all qualified, the Magic and the Pacers, the Rockets and the SuperSonics have all entered the tiebreaker.

The Magic led by Hardaway and O'Neal faced the Pacers, and most people originally felt that the Magic should not be so hard.

After all, the Pacers lost Davis Davis, the defensive core that claims to be able to withstand O'Neal.

Now the Pacers simply don't have anyone to match the O'Neal point.

Coupled with the Magic and Hardaway and other strongmen, the Pacers' record took off after adding Barkley in the second half of the regular season.

However, Larry Brown's style of leading the team is defense, and let him lead an offensive team to play in the playoffs, and no one knows how much strength he will play in the end.

So, most people think that the Magic should be able to take out the Pacers in six or even five games.

The Pacers really have no one to do O'Neal, but the Magic doesn't have anyone to do Barkley!

As for whether Larry Brown will make a commotion to reduce the strength of the Pacers.

Larry Brown wanted to do it, but Barkley and Reggie Miller, who was taken by Barkley, didn't listen to him at all!

It should be said that I listened to it off the field, but I resolutely did not change it on the field!

This style is exactly the same as the general manager of the Pacers, listen to Larry Brown, but it just doesn't change.

In the end, Larry Brown can only watch with his hands on his hips to the side, just to see what kind of game Barkley and Reggie Miller will play with this group of offensive Pacers.

The final result is that he didn't touch Lin Han and completely liberated his Barkley, which is really strong!

In the first game between the Pacers and the Magic, Barkley almost killed the Magic with the Pacers.

In the first game, Barkley scored 37 points, 16 rebounds and 5 assists on 12-of-22 shooting, 3-of-6 three-pointers and 10-of-13 free throws.

Plus Reggie Miller, who shot 11-of-18 and scored 28 points.

Magic was really scared out of a cold sweat.

In the end, the Magic took out the Pacers with two overtimes!

In the second game between the two sides, the Magic finally lost at home.

In the second game between the two teams, the Magic lost 88-93 at home to the Pacers.

O'Neill and Barkley were still evenly matched in this game.

Hardaway and Reggie Miller were also indistinguishable on the offensive end.

The Pacers won because O'Neal made 4 of 14 free throws while Barkley made 7 of 13 free throws!

O'Neal's strength is still better than Barkley's, but O'Neal's free throw percentage makes him higher than those strengths are actually erased!

It should be said that O'Neill is strong, but Barkley is much stronger than everyone thinks!

More than a season of second-in-command life with the Rockets, coupled with the slump in the face of Lin Han, made everyone ignore Barkley's strength.

It used to make people think that he was not the weakest of the eight superstars in the alliance.

In fact, it is not for nothing that Barkley was able to suppress Malone, who was not yet fully fit, and became the league's No. 1 forward.

In this case, the Pacers and Magic went up and down based on O'Neal's free-throw shooting percentage, winning one game and losing one game.

The Magic and the Pacers are evenly matched, and the two teams really only look at O'Neal's free throw count and shooting percentage.

So, after the Magic and the Pacers were entangled for six games, the night before the two teams tied for seven, Lin Han received a call from O'Neal crying.

"I want to learn how to hold a urinal!"

O'Neill, who was full of vigilance, finally gave in.

This big man who didn't know how to hold a urinal, was finally ready to snatch the banner of holding a urinal from his hand.

Whether O'Neill is suitable for the posture of holding the urinal or not, Lin Han is not sure.

However, as long as O'Neill uses it on the court, then he is completely in the hole.

Based on what he knew about this dead fat man, he was a man who broke the jar and broke it.

On May 15, 1996, the Magic hosted the Pacers in a seven-game tiebreaker.

O'Neal's version of the urinal has finally appeared in front of fans around the world.

When the funny dead fat man took the first shot of the game in a urinal position, even the Magic players were stunned.

"Shaq is very suitable for this position, he is very talented when he is using this position, and he hits the first free throw"

Using this special free-throw stance is very damaging to his image of wisdom and martial arts, and if he can, he really doesn't want to use it!

But the first penalty was hit, and O'Neal had the illusion that I was really fit for this position.

O'Neill's faith was greatly enhanced!

When thinking of the All-Star, Lin Han can hit three points with his eyes closed, just because he has found the right posture and feeling.

He's now found a position that suits him to the free throw shot, so what's he afraid of?

Don't be afraid of being fouled by your opponent!

O'Neal, who was very uncomfortable by the Pacers in this round of the series, played an incredible performance in this tie-break game that was related to the fate of the Magic.

O'Neal made 17 of 25 shots and 15 of 18 free throws in the game, scoring 49 points on 74.4% true shooting!

And his partner Hardaway also scored 36 points on 14-of-27 shooting in this game because of O'Neal's huge containment on the inside.

In the end, the Magic defeated the Pacers 115-111 at home!

The Magic's victory in this game made O'Neal quite excited.

If he hadn't learned the essence of the urinal from Lin Han, how could he have a free throw shooting rate of more than 80% in a game!

15 of 18 free throws!

As long as he misses 5 free throws in this game, his team loses!

It smells so good!

O'Neal feels that the rest of his career is really inseparable from this free-throw position.

"This dead fat guy wouldn't really fit into this position, would he?"

To be honest, Lin Handu, who watched the game, didn't know for a while whether to say whether this was O'Neal's real fit for this posture or his psychological effect.

However, in this game, O'Neal's free throws are really accurate!

You know, the Pacers made 50 free throws in this game!

Neither Barkley nor Reggie Miller were the ones to drop the chain in key games.

Reggie Miller usually makes seven or eight free throws, and this game made 15 free throws, and Barkley made 16 free throws!

The Pacers caused 32 fouls to the Magic!

Grant was fouled six by Barkley and Hardaway also had five fouls.

If O'Neal hadn't made the right free throw, the Magic would have really been killed by Barkley and Reggie Miller in this game!

However, in the end, the Magic still eliminated the Pacers without danger and met the Bulls in the Eastern Conference Finals.

On May 16, 1996, the seventh game of the Rockets and the SuperSonics, the Lakers' opponent in the Western Conference was also determined.

The Houston Rockets, the opponent of the Lakers in the Western Conference last season, lost 107-111 to the SuperSonics in the tiebreaker and was eliminated!

The Lakers' opponent in the Western Conference will be the SuperSonics led by Payton and Kemp!
