Chapter 297: Advancing to the Finals (Part I)

Seeing Bynum and Huang Yu chatting, Artest suddenly burst out with an evil fire! Decisively called Famar, who could be bullied, over, although Artest was also very angry, but he didn't dare to find Huang Yu to practice, Huang Yu's data yesterday was the second highest in the team! 29 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists! Although there is no Kobe Bryant's 38 points, 10 assists and 6 rebounds, it also sets off their incompetence as a starter, although he and Huang Yu did not tear their faces face to face, but if he dares to call Huang Yu to practice offense in the past! It's certain to fight.

Although the last game was won by the Lakers, the coaching staff is working overtime to discuss the joint defense tactics, if the next game cannot come up with an effective plan to break the Suns' defense, then the Lakers are likely to waste more time in this series, after all, now the Lakers are leading the Suns 3-1, as long as they work hard to win this series! If the Suns drag the game until Game 7, the variables will be huge, and the Lakers can't accept such an outcome.

The main reason is that Kobe Bryant is in good shape in this round of the series, not only in terms of scores, but also in other statistics! Especially the assists, almost the first two rounds combined! So in order to avoid Kobe Bryant getting into a single betting fight, the coaching staff felt it was important to end the game in Game 5!

Although the Suns and the Magic have been pushed to the edge of the cliff, the Suns and Lakers can be said to be inseparable, and it is difficult to distinguish the winner until the last second! Relatively speaking, the Magic has been standing on the edge of the cliff since entering the Eastern Conference finals, and although they broke out strongly after losing in a row, they pulled back a game! But every game was on the edge of the cliff, so that the Magic team did not dare to relax at all.

Magic can find a backstabber in almost every game! In the first game, Warcraft with 7 turnovers and Barnes, who only scored 2 points in the starters, and Lewis, who only scored 6 points, in the second game, in addition to Carter Sr., Warcraft and Redick, almost other players were named and criticized by the media one by one, and in the third game, Lewis was almost criticized as a dog! Quoting scriptures before the game, the result was only 4 points! Although there are 2 points of Barnes at the bottom! But the value of the two people is not the same, of course the media has to pick expensive sprays! This will make it appear to have 13 squares!

In the fourth game, it was said that Lewis scored double-doubles and also scored 5 rebounds, so I thought no one scolded him this time! After all, he has also contributed to this battle of dignity! But I didn't expect that the low shooting rate of 1 of 9 shots of old Carter also became a horse in the eyes of the media, and Lewis's previous games of 2 of 8, 2 of 6, and 2 of 10 were also taken out to say, even the battle of dignity was only 4 of 10, and he played almost the whole court in 42 minutes, and the media believes that this is the representative of the shooting rate! Suddenly, after reading the report, Lewis dropped his new mobile phone!

Although it is not known whether the Magic top management was affected by Lewis's declining form, on December 18, 2010, the Magic and the Wizards reached a deal, and Rashad Lewis and "The General" Gilbert Arenas, the two much-maligned Mr. Billions swapped owners.

However, Lewis's career is still much more perfect than that of some stars, at least he got a championship ring when the Heat hugged his thigh, at least there are no regrets in his entire career! As for Arenas, although he has been able to contribute an average of 8 points per game for a long time, he is no longer as brave as he used to be! While it is unknown why the Magic chose to lay him off with an amnesty clause, it is apparent that he no longer has the ability to help the Magic.

----------

Standing on the edge of the cliff, the Magic will host the Celtics on the 27th! For the Magic, every game is a back-to-back battle, because as long as they lose, they are eliminated.

But after the opening, the Magic quickly fell behind 0-5, but Carter and Lewis, who were criticized by the media, hit three-point shots one after another, helping the Magic to start a counterattack, and they rained three-pointers in the first quarter, shooting 5 three-pointers in the first quarter, while the monster Howard dominated the basket, not only did he dunk twice in this quarter, but also sent out big hats many times, and the Magic gradually overtook and ended the quarter 31-27.

The Magic's three-point rain did not stop in the second quarter, but continued to fire from the outside, although it was slightly more than the first quarter, but they also hit four three-pointers in the second quarter, and when the outside was so hot, the Celtics were difficult to resist, and at one point extended the advantage to double digits.

Redick, who had played well in the previous games, also hit a three-pointer to help the Magic take a 49-35 lead and bring the gap to 14 points, and just four minutes into the quarter, Howard and Nelson's aerial dunk gave them a 53-39 lead, but the Magic's shooting percentage dropped a bit after that, hitting just one shot late in the quarter, and the Celtics trailed the score at 49-57 at halftime.

Although the Magic leaded, they did not relax, and the Celtics in order to chase the score, but also took a breath, not only the confrontation on the court was very intense, physical conflicts and body stirring also occurred frequently, Perkins in the first half because of the constant entanglement with the monster, after the action was blown too big, he was not convinced and referee JJ, and was sent out of the game by two technical fouls.

However, the referee's decision did not allow the players to experience wrestling's enthusiasm to fade, and in the second half, there have been various contact grappling for a long time, armgrappling, leg tripping and other techniques, and the referee naturally has to maintain his dignity, although he continues to send technical fouls, but it has not changed the atmosphere on the court.

Towards the end of the third quarter, Howard was blocked by Nate Robinson, who was on his heel, as he was about to make a layup (which is what this stuff is good at). As Howard withdrew, an elbow hit Big Baby Davis in the face.

This is still an unconscious elbow of the monster, which made Davis faint on the spot, if it is prepared, it is estimated that it is not impossible to go directly to the hospital, although Davis was ready to get up after a few seconds, but it took two kicks to get up, although he was ready to continue to participate in the attack, but his feet were no longer obedient, and he almost fell again, he staggered to the sidelines, and was supported by the referee bald Qiao, so he did not fall.

The hapless Davis had to go to the locker room for treatment, and the Celtics didn't make the final attack of the quarter, trailing 75-84 in the first three quarters.

Davis's departure and Rasheed Wallace's fouls left the Celtics a little empty inside, so they had to send a big and four small lineup at the start of the fourth quarter, at which point Lewis took the opportunity to hit consecutive close-range shots to single-handedly score the Magic for the first seven points of the quarter, and they extended their advantage to 91-78.

However, the Celtics were unwilling to be tied up, and began the "slashing Warcraft" tactic (and the slashing shark tactic is a routine) before the halfway point of this section, but the extraordinarily played Warcraft made two free throws and two hits, directly crushing their attempt, although Wallace hit consecutive three-point shots, but Nelson immediately returned to three points, and the Magic still led 99-86. A minute later, Nelson scored another three-pointer and the Magic went on an 8-0 run to extend their advantage at 104-86.

The gap between the two sides has since reached 19 points, and the Celtics have no choice but to remove Garnett and other key players, hoping for a comeback at home, of course, this is also the capital they have to choose to give up.

The total score of 2-3 made the Magic a little bit back, but it is impossible to breathe a sigh of relief, once this breath is sent, the next game will definitely be lost!

----------

Just before the fifth game between the Lakers and the Suns was not played, many Mi media were optimistic that the Lakers would end the Suns and become the Western champions and advance to the finals, but some media also sang the opposite, after all, only in this way can they retain the attention of fans, as for whether they will be slapped in the face! These media will tell you very sensibly that our faces can be regarded as third-level armor when we take them off!

As the defending champions, the Lakers were optimistic about the first place in the West almost when they locked up the first place in the West, especially after entering the Western Conference Finals, which was reported by all media from all sides, and the Lakers can be said to crush the Suns in the lineup.

A strong interior line is one of the reasons, even if Bynum is injured, the presence of Gasol and Odom has allowed the Lakers to completely gain the upper hand in the interior competition. However, as the finals progressed, the situation on the court was not as rosy as people predicted, and the Lakers had the upper hand on the inside, but the advantage was not obvious, and they did not occupy a dominant position.

Playing with an injury also has to be divided into situations, you play well and are naturally admired, but Bynum's injury has weakened the Lakers' interior strength, not only did he not show his power on the offensive end, but also frequently became a breakthrough after the Suns blocked and dismantled because of the problem of movement speed in defense, and now Bynum has almost become a cancer of the team.

The media also helped the Lakers come up with ideas, thinking that if the Lakers want to win, they must take advantage of the inside advantage, and Bynum's play will become crucial, in addition to helping the team in rebounds and blocks, he must strive to be more brilliant on the offensive end, if he can attack back, coupled with the joint impact of Gasol and Odom, the Lakers' interior advantage will really be reflected, of course, this is those media that are closer to the Lakers, will report so.

Those who are in opposition think that it would be good to take Bynum off as a substitute, and let Gasol, who is in good form, be the starting center, and Odom will be the power forward! Powell became a substitute power forward, and they didn't think it was a big deal to withdraw Huang Yu as well, and in their eyes, the Lakers' starting lineup should be like this.

Center Pau Gasol, power forward Lamar Odom, small forward Huang Yu, scoring guard Kobe Bryant, point guard Derrick Fisher.

Although it doesn't seem to have any problems, the Lakers' ability to protect rebounds inside this lineup has directly dropped a lot! Although Bynum not only did not attack well in these two games, but the defense also frequently became the breakthrough point of the Suns, at least his backcourt rebounding protection is still remarkable! If Gasol and Odom are under the basket to protect the box! I don't think the Suns will give up playing Stoudeyer, especially Odom, which is estimated to be chiseled by Stoudeyer!

----------

In the fourth game, the Suns were unexpectedly killed at home, falling behind 3-1 on aggregate, but the Suns did not think that there was something wrong with their tactics, on the contrary, they were determined to win the fifth game! Although the pressure is a bit high, they are still confident that they will drag the Lakers into a tie-break.

However, the Lakers have experienced this situation more than once, winning the championship last year and defending the title this year, the two-year playoffs Lakers can be said to have gone through many tests, the battle of the seven and the battle of Tianwang Mountain, I don't know how many games have been played, and the Suns have been away from the playoffs for two years, and the lineup has changed a lot! Obviously, the team has very little experience in this kind of key game, and the head coach is not experienced enough, and there will definitely be loopholes in the layout, but as long as they maintain the defense in the first few games, it will bring a lot of trouble to the Lakers, after all, the Suns who can defend are the most terrible.

However, when the Zen master was interviewed on the day of the competition, he was very confident in facing the reporter's answer, and he installed a wave of 13 in front of the camera for the first time! "There's no doubt that we like the situation as it is!" Seeing that the female reporter's eyes were full of little stars, the Zen master threw the note into the trash with some regret, if Jenny was no longer there, maybe he would talk to the female reporter.

"Where's Andrew's ticket?"

Huang Yu shouted at Bynum, who was tying his shoes!

"Here! But I said, "Well! ”

Bynum was a little puzzled, it's not normal for his girlfriend and family to go on vacation, why do you see Rain so nervous!

If Huang Yu knew what Odom thought, it would definitely be a combination of punches, so that you know that you know the power of Huaxia's mother-in-law, you won't say that! Although Huang Yu was ten single in his previous life, he also knew that most of the super mothers-in-law in Huaxia were powerful, asking for a car, a house, and the death of both parents This is the minimum standard for them to choose a son-in-law! Not to mention the salary card handed in, and the real estate certificate is written in her name! Even your car won't be yours, you want to drive to work, it's impossible, she still has to drive to buy groceries!

But this is also in my mind, with Bynum's character to find a Chinese daughter-in-law, it is estimated that the mother-in-law will be crazy! Maybe they'll be happy to wear it upside down!

----------

Abby told Huang Yu yesterday that the Hornacek family is going to travel to the UK! Although he would love to take Huang Yu with him, Mr. Hornacek thinks that he is now on the rise and needs more training to improve himself so that he can gain a foothold in the league, so Abby thinks that his father is right!

So Huang Yu was excluded from the tour! It will take at least a month to be alone in the empty house, and not only that, even if the Hornacek family returns to the United States, they will not come to Los Angeles, but will return to Salt Lake City!

So Huang Yu will either move his training base to Salt Lake City, or continue to be a monk! So when Abby mentioned that the Hornacek family would have a chance in Los Angeles today, Huang Yu decided to invite them to Staples to watch the game! I'm looking for an empty box though! But the Western Conference final, and the more critical one for the Lakers, few people will give up.

So Huang Yu could only retreat and snatch the ticket from Bynum! and promised to exchange his ticket for the finals, who let his ticket be on the right side adjacent to him, of course, if Artest's ticket is on the right side, then Huang Yu will go directly to Kobe Bryant and ask him for his ticket on the left!

Huang Yu came to the entrance of the player's tunnel wearing a jersey and saw Abby standing there waving at him! Huang Yu walked over and handed over the ticket! Although he wanted to pinch two handfuls on the stiffness, he vaguely felt a gaze looking at him, and when he looked up, he saw that it was the death light gun Hornacek, and suddenly Huang Yu took the hand that pressed Abby's ass down!

"Go ahead, don't let your father-in-law wait, the position is in the fourth row behind the Lakers bench!"

Huang Yu said with a light tap on Abby's lips.
