May 2, 2011, Staples Center. has already scored 36 points of the "God of Killing" Kobe. Bryant holds the ball outside the three-point line, and all Staples fans are waiting for Kobe to contribute a stunner!

With 3 seconds left in the game, the Lakers trailed by 1 point, and Kobe Bryant controlled the ball, which seemed to be a script written specifically for Kobe. According to the "script development", he should score a stunner, stop the Texans' progress, win the first game of the Western Conference semifinals, and express the Lakers' determination to win three consecutive championships.

However, Bryant's difficult three-pointer ultimately didn't score. The electronic beep sounded, and the whole Staples was in an uproar, and the defending champion Lakers lost!

"Didn't go in, God, Kobe. Bryant misses the lore! This means that the Dallas Mavericks came back from a maximum of 16 points down to win the defending champion and claim their first win in the Western Conference semifinals! Dirk. Nowitzki scored 16 points in the second half, and the German and his team are full of ambition this year! "On the commentary stage, Mike. Brin shouted in surprise. No one could have imagined that Dirk, who has always been "weak", and the calf who has always loved to drop the chain at a critical moment, could fight tenaciously to the end in Staples.

With a 16-point reversal, the Dallas Mavericks gave the defending champion a sense of crisis! Nowitzki led the Mavericks to score double-doubles in all five starters, while on the Lakers' side, except for Kobe and Gasol, the others played very average.

Watching the Mavericks players look ecstatic on the court, Mike. Brin was trying to remember what had happened in the past two days. In this year's playoffs, there are so many incredible things happening!

After the first game of the Western Conference semifinals was all played, the result was different from what everyone expected. Most people have the impression that the Lakers, who are aiming for a three-game winning streak, will definitely book a spot in the Western Conference Finals. The veteran powerhouse Spurs may have a tough battle with the Grizzlies, but they will still be the winners.

As a result, in the first game of the Western Conference semifinals, both favorites lost.

Kobe Bryant just missed the stunner and ruined the situation. And in yesterday's game between the Spurs and the Grizzlies, Link's 25 points and 10 assists also made the first place in the West deflated.

Both games were equally magical, with the Grizzlies relying on their strong perseverance to stabilize the situation in the face of the Spurs' frantic comeback, and completely ended the game in the final 1 and a half minutes of the game.

On the Mavericks' side, they trailed by 16 points at halftime, and they relied on everyone's efforts to fight back little by little.

The astonishing quality displayed by these two underdogs has thrown the whole West into chaos.

On the court, Kobe Bryant reluctantly walked into the players' tunnel. He looked at his knees, then sighed deeply. Seeing this, Mike. Brin hurriedly took out Kobe's data sheet today and found that Kobe Bryant didn't score any penalty area today! Only 4 of the 36 points came from free throws, and the rest basically relied on jump shots!

Yes, Kobe Bryant has been facing huge injury troubles this season. In today's game, Kobe Bryant basically didn't break through. He scored 36 points on shooting alone, and Mike. Brynn was horrible.

But Mike. Instead of praising Bryant on the idea, Brin thought of another, more discussable, "Maybe the two teams that will end up in the Western Conference Finals this year will be more than we imagined." ”

"What did you say?" Mike. Next to Bryn, Kevin. Harran asked in surprise.

"I mean, the Mavericks and the Grizzlies yesterday were victorious, not just by chance. The Lakers and the Spurs, two high-profile teams, actually have big problems. On the Spurs' side, there is not enough internal reserves and no fresh blood. They couldn't stop the Grizzlies' interior offense, and Parker and Ginobili struggled to kill the game under the Grizzlies' dreaded perimeter defensive chain. The Spurs' lineup, completely restrained by the Grizzlies! ”

"And on the Lakers' side, Kobe's form is a big problem. He barely broke through today, scoring from the ball throughout the game. Kobe Bryant was able to score 36 points today, but it was impossible to score so much on shooting every game. Kobe's knee has been tormented all season, can an unhealthy Kobe really withstand the impact of the Mavericks? I think it's too hard, the Dallas Mavericks are definitely one of the most underrated teams this season. ”

Mike. After Brin finished, Kevin. Harlan did not refute. Can the "uninformed" Grizzlies and the Mavericks, who always drop their chains at critical moments, take out Kobe Bryant and Duncan alone? Harlan was still a little unacceptable.

After all, since 1998, only in 2006, the Western Conference Finals did not have Kobe and Duncan. This kind of Western Conference attendance is enough to show the ability of Kobe and Duncan.

A Western Conference Finals without Duncan or Kobe, Kevin. Harlan wasn't used to it.

But I have to admit that Mike. Brin has a point. The victory of the Grizzlies and Mavericks is not accidental, and they really have a good chance of changing the landscape of the entire West!

What will turn out of the situation, Harlan can't wait to find out.

※※※

Link has been on fire in Memphis lately, after all, he became the most successful rookie in Grizzlies history, not one of them. His title will somewhat embarrass Tabit, who has begun to take a vacation, and Mayo, who has been reduced to a substitute.

Because in people's expectations, they should have played Link's role at this time.

All over Memphis was talking about Link, and people were speculating about how far he could grow. Countless fans poured into the streets, holding signs outside the Federal Express Arena, pleading with Chris. Wallace must keep him this summer.

Transfer rumours about Link have become similar to Chris. Paul is just as hot, he's already a star!

But in San Antonio, Link isn't very popular. There is no doubt that Link has become one of the most hated players for San Antonio. Because of his double-double data, the Spurs fell into a promotion crisis.

On May 3, the second game of the Western Conference Finals between the Spurs and the Grizzlies officially began. Today, the Spurs combined for 45 points to help the team pull one back at home. But even so, Spurs fans still can't be happy. Because today, the Grizzlies lost to the Spurs by only 4 points. If it weren't for the Grizzlies' several key misses at the final moment, the Spurs would probably have to overturn.

Link had 17 points, 7 assists and 4 rebounds, and his good performance continued.

The next day, the Dallas Mavericks beat the defending champions 93-81, and the Lakers lost all two of their home courts! Nowitzki blasted 24 points and 7 rebounds, and Gasol was taught to be a man. The Lakers shot 2-of-20 from three-point range and shot just 10% from three-point range. On the western side, the situation is still going against expectations.

On May 6, the Western Conference semifinals continued. The Mavericks continue to win at home. Nowitzki made 4 of 5 three-pointers and scored 32 points in one fell swoop! The German has had the experience of being overturned after leading 2-0, so he won't allow that to happen again.

Gasol scored 13 points from the field and shot just 38.5 percent from the field and continued to be taught to be a man. The Lakers are down 3-0, and unless a miracle happens, the dream of the defending champions to win three consecutive championships will be shattered!

A day later, the Grizzlies beat the Spurs 91-88! Randolph scored 25 points in the game, beating Duncan, who had only 13 points, showing his formidable attacking power. Link had 14 points, 8 assists and 6 rebounds, and was as versatile as ever. The Grizzlies kept up with the Mavericks and dealt the Spurs another blow.

On May 8, the Lakers, who had lost their heart, were frantically trampled by the Mavericks 122-86. The Mavericks went crazy as a team, shooting 11-of-15 from three-point range in the first half, tying the NBA playoff record. He made 20 of 32 three-pointers from the field, also equaling the record. "Jet" Terry was even more surprising, he scored 20 points on 6-of-7 three-pointers in the first half, and 9-of-10 three-pointers in the whole game, tying the NBA playoff personal record!

Veteran shooter Peja. Stojakovic was also magical, 6 of 6 three-pointers in the game, and the Lakers were shot alive!

At this point, the Mavericks swept the defending champion and successfully advanced to the Western Conference Finals! The Lakers also awkwardly became the seventh defending champion in NBA history to be swept in the playoffs. What's even more humiliating is that the Lakers occupy three of the seven defending champions who have been swept away......

The Mavericks magically performed and stunned the world. Of course, Mike. Brin's quote after the race is well said – "Don't be shocked too soon, because something even more surprising could happen next!" ”

Sure enough, on May 9, the Spurs knelt again! Game 4 of the Grizzlies-Spurs series, Tony. Parker scored 19 points on 7-of-7 shooting in the first half, and there was some momentum to lead the Spurs on the offensive back.

But in the second half, when Hollins decided to let Link go to help defend Parker, the game took a turn for the worse. The Spurs played nearly 5 minutes in the second half without scoring, and were beaten by the Grizzlies with a wave of 14-0! The Grizzlies' gritty defense and determination were not crushed by Parker's first-half shots.

On the contrary, it was the Spurs, who were contained by the Grizzlies' tough defense, and lost their rhythm in the second half. The Spurs shot just 37.8 percent from the field in the second half, and they ended up in Memphis, where they lost 86-104 to the Grizzlies. The Grizzlies didn't score 20 points in this game, but five players scored in double figures. They relied on team attack and resolute defense to successfully defend their home stadium!

Link had 13 points, nine rebounds and three assists, and his stats in the last few games were down from the magical first game that made team history. But no one thinks that this guy is just a flash in the pan. Everyone knows that when Hollins needs him to score, that Chinese No. 0 can score 20 points in minutes.

It's like Hill last year, when he almost disappeared when the wind was down. But once the team is against the wind and he needs to step up, he is duty-bound!

At this point, the Grizzlies have a 3-1 lead over the Spurs. Although there are examples of counterattacks in the NBA playoffs after falling behind 1-3, it is not realistic for the Spurs to counterattack the Grizzlies in their current situation.

Randolph was on the Spurs' inside, but the Spurs' offense repeatedly overturned under the Grizzlies' defense. The lineup is restrained, and it is not something that Spurs can save by working hard. Not surprisingly, the Grizzlies and Mavericks will break everyone's expectations and meet in the Western Conference Finals as dark horses!

The Grizzlies are heading to the Western Conference Finals! I believe that now, there are still many people who can't believe the truth of this matter.
