1400.BEAT-LJ (6th full 96W recommended votes plus update)
The new month arrived, and after coming to Los Angeles for a day of rest, Sun Ce and his teammates went to the Staples Center to challenge the Lakers away.
There are still fans who are expecting the Lakers to turn the tables, and public opinion has changed the direction again, and those keyboard warriors who have just said good things about their Grizzlies and "want to be different" have fallen to the side of the Lakers.
However, that won't stop the Grizzlies from reaching the Finals for the second year in a row.
Paul completely collapsed tonight, shooting 4 of 14 from the field, without any idea of fighting, played 31 minutes, and got 10 points and 5 assists.
Kobe Bryant shot 8 of 24 in the first three quarters, got 23 points, 7 boards, 1 assist, 2 steals and 6 fouls and 5 turnovers, without Paul's help, Paul himself didn't play well, Kobe Bryant encountered the strongest defense encountered in this series, without the excellent performance in the first four games, the shooting rate was only 33 percent, and at the beginning of the fourth quarter, he left the court with six fouls because of overly active but inadequate defense!
The Grizzlies played very steadily, and the previous loss made the Grizzlies not dare to be careless no matter how advantageous the situation was, and played steadily.
Sun Ce played 30 minutes, scored 17 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists, 4 steals and 1 block on 6-of-11 shooting, including 3 steals of Kobe Bryant's pass, and began to rest after the third quarter.
In the case that the Lakers' tactical core had no intention of fighting and wanted to take an early holiday, the Grizzlies did not give the Lakers a chance, 95-77, and the Grizzlies beat the Lakers lightly and advanced 4-1!
Randolph scored 23 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals, and became the MVP of the game for a post-game interview.
Randolph performed the best on the team tonight, or if it weren't for Sun Ce's two single-game 40+ triple-doubles and 50+ triple-doubles, Randolph was the best performer in the entire series, averaging 24.2 points, 9.6 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.4 steals per game in 5 games.
The fans left the stadium disappointed after the game, and many Lakers players also left after the game.
However, Bryant, who played 27 seconds in the fourth quarter and committed six fouls, did not leave in a hurry as he did after the last loss, but hugged his old friend Nash well.
Probably this will be the last time I'll fight Nash.
Sun Ce didn't leave here, and he was about to send the Western Championship trophy.
Sun Ce thought that after Kobe Bryant lost, he would ignore him like before for a while, but he didn't expect Kobe Bryant to walk towards him after talking to Nash.
"What? Want to fight? No, this guy fights so much every time he gets beaten, it's unlikely to ......"
Just when Sun Ce's stomach was slandering, Kobe stopped in front of him and said, "BEAT-LJ." ”
After saying that, Kobe Bryant turned around and left, leaving Sun Ce, who was messy in the wind because of his words......
“BEAT-LJ? Not LA? Oh! It's James! Who says this guy doesn't care about the fight with James? He cares better than anyone else! ”
After a while, NBA Vice President Stu Jackson came to the scene with the Western Conference Championship Trophy, and this time the Zu Geese who came with the team also wanted to ask for the trophy, but he had already won one, and the team did not have one......
……
……
Reaching the Western Conference Finals for two consecutive years, Sun Ce and his teammates are very excited.
Now that no one is saying that the Grizzlies are difficult to defend their title in small cities, it has come this time that the Grizzlies have played super dominant in the Western Conference playoffs, 12-3! The Grizzlies have lost just three games so far in this year's playoffs.
At 8:30 p.m. on May 2, the two regional finals teams in the east lost 3 games each in this round.
Back in Chicago, the Bulls narrowly defeated the Heat 101-100 and equalized the score!
Rose had 35 points, 6 boards, 10 assists and 3 steals in a single game, and his performance was very good, especially in the last offense, when the Heat team released Rose who was on the top arc, he only scored 10 three-pointers in the playoffs this season, and Rose, who had a shooting rate of only 30 percent, beat the Heat!
Sun Ce felt this picture, he was killed by Rose once back then.
Sun Ce felt that the Heat's defense was okay in this round, but Rose just threw it.
After returning to Memphis for a day of rest and watching a game, Grizzlies owner Robert Pera made the decision to go to Miami to prepare for the game on the morning of the 3rd.
The time set for the Heat and Bulls to break off is No. 5, and the first game of the Finals will start on No. 7 no matter which team in the East advances.
After discussing with the Grizzlies owner and coaching staff, they felt that the Heat team had more hope of qualifying, and no matter how advanced there, the Eastern Finals would tie seven, and most of the games would be within 10 points or even 5 points, which was a good thing for the Grizzlies.
Even if you make a mistake, it is a good choice to go to the game on the 5th and rest in Miami, where the weather is good.
……
On the afternoon of the 3rd, when they arrived in Miami, the Grizzlies immediately held a tactical meeting and discussed the training that began tomorrow in the hotel conference room.
Coach Hollins did not blindly prepare for the Heat as an imaginary enemy, but focused on training anti-pick-and-roll, anti-pass cutting, and anti-running shooting.
Sun Ce was surprised to find that the Heat and Bulls had many similar characteristics during the tactical meeting, but he hadn't noticed it before.
"Maybe that's why the Bulls can tie seven with the Heat when they are at a disadvantage, Sloan Sr. is good at blocking, and naturally he is also good at blocking and picking."
Sun Ce had his own judgment on the situation that the anxiety on the eastern side exceeded his expectations, and after a comprehensive analysis of the two teams by the coaching staff of his own team.
Sun Ce has always listened to the coaching staff for big strategies such as training directions and tactical guidelines, and they are much more professional.
In the evening, Sun Ce accompanied Zu Geese, who came to Miami together, to the beach and tread water...... It's just treading water, and neither of them is good at swimming.
After a day off, the 4th went to the basketball arena of Florida State University and began training for the game against the Heat.
The intensity is not great, mainly the details of training and coordination, James and Rose are among the best players in the league to use blocking, the former has been very good in this regard, and Rose has been very good for more than two years.
But the Grizzlies also have Nash and Stockton, two big guys who are very good at blocking and pick-and-roll in NBA history, and with two of them, the training plan is excellent.
Training in the morning and resting in the afternoon, the Grizzlies did a great job of combining work and rest.
After the training on the morning of the 5th, Sun Ce accompanied the two girls to go shopping in the afternoon, and after dinner, Sun Ce and the two girls came to the American Airlines Center to meet their teammates, and several players from the Grizzlies came to watch the game tonight.
At 6:10 in the evening, after Rose and James entered the court one after another, they saw Sun Ce in the third row opposite the technical table.
Outside of this game about the pressure of the game!
