Because the game between the Clippers and the Grizzlies was rested for three days, except for the series between the Spurs and the Jazz that was held on the same day, the results of the second game of the two series in the rest of the West had already come out, which can be said to have surprised fans!

The second game between the Lakers and the Nuggets, if you only look at the data and don't look at the score, the Lakers obviously won quite easily, but when you look at the score is only 104-100, it can only be said that it is a slight advantage to win, but depending on the content of the game, it is not easy for the Lakers to win at all, and it is possible to turn the tables if you are a little lax.

The Nuggets' stated goal was to drag down the Lakers with quick offense, but that plan fell through in the first game of the meeting between the two teams, as they were beaten by Bynum with a triple-double with 10 blocks and nearly a sixth of the Nuggets' shots were covered by him.

And Bynum didn't have so many blocks today, but Kobe Bryant's return continued the feeling of the previous game, and the Lakers were still at ease.

At the beginning of the game, the Lakers went on a 12-3 run, with Bynum and Gasol scoring 10 of those points, and Kobe Bryant dunking once. The Nuggets didn't hit their first shot until nearly four minutes into the game, and then they were hit hard by Kobe Bryant.

In the last 1 minute and 40 seconds of the quarter, Kobe Bryant scored 8 points alone, he first scored 3 points with free throws, and then hit a mid-range shot. With five seconds left in the quarter, Bryant got an opportunity from the outside and hit a three-point shot to give the Lakers a 32-25 lead. Bryant scored 14 points in the first quarter.

In the first game, Kobe Bryant was mediocre in the first half and couldn't find the feeling of shooting, but as the game progressed, he began to kill all sides. Today, Kobe Bryant continued the momentum of the previous game, and he felt very good. The Nuggets tied the score at 36-36 in the second quarter, the only tie of the game. Bryant then hit three shots from the opponent's tight defense, and in the process of hitting a free throw, one of them scored seven points, and the Lakers regained the advantage after hitting a 9-0 attack wave. Bynum was also strong under the basket, and with 9.9 seconds left in the quarter, Sessions missed a three-point shot, but Bynum grabbed an offensive rebound and forced a layup under multiple blocks to give the Lakers a 55-46 lead. Bynum also had a chance to add a penalty, but unfortunately missed. Faryd hit the final shot of the quarter to put the Nuggets up 48-55.

Bryant shot 9-of-12 in the first half, shooting 75 percent from the field, and scored 21 points alone. Bynum's first half performance was also excellent, although he scored only 16 points, he got six rebounds and two assists, and shot 7-of-9 from the field, shooting 77.8 percent, as for the others, it can only be said that the performance was average, Sessions did not perform badly in the first half, scoring only 4 points on 2-of-7 shooting.

On the Nuggets side, the first half scoring was more average, with Tylawson scoring 8 points and 5 assists, Farid scoring 8 points and 6 rebounds, and veteran Harrington scoring 8 points and 5 rebounds! As for Gallinari, he also got 6 points and 3 rebounds, although it was a bargaining chip to trade Anthony, but it was obviously just a make-up, and the performance of the two seasons could only be said to be average.

In the first half of the third quarter, the two teams came off the bench to score each other's points, and at 6:31, Devin Ibanks, who was on the court early, hit a shot, and the Lakers completed a 16-4 attack wave to lead by 19 points at 71-52.

The Lakers' problem with a large lead suddenly appeared, and the defense suddenly became very lax, Lawson made a sudden shot, and one person scored 7 points in a row, and the Nuggets also chased the score to 70-75 with an 18-4 attack wave. The Nuggets' eagerness to attack also gave the Lakers plenty of opportunities, with Bynum scoring two easy baskets and Bryant scoring four straight points before the end of the quarter, and they still maintained their advantage and went into the final quarter at 81-74.

The Lakers started the fourth quarter on a 10-3 run, and with 7:47 left in the quarter, the Lakers regained a double-digit advantage at 91-77 after Sessions hit back-to-back shots. The Nuggets also went on a 10-1 run to close the gap to five points.

Bryant received the ball from outside the three-point line, failed to shake off the opponent with several feints, and had to force a jumper in the face of the interference of defenders and hit a three-pointer to give the Lakers a 95-87 lead.

After the Nuggets narrowed the gap to 4 points, the Lakers missed the shot, but when the Nuggets were on the fast break, Kobe Bryant made a steal and drove the ball straight to the basket, Kobe Bryant did not shoot, but chose to pass the ball to Bynum, who dunked and caused a foul, scored 3 points with free throws, and stabilized his position 98-91 with 2 minutes and 15 seconds left in the game.

The Nuggets have since narrowed the gap to 4 points, but every time the Lakers don't give a chance, as long as the Nuggets improve slightly, they will immediately suppress it, and in the two games in Los Angeles, the Nuggets will be difficult to win.

The Lakers beat the Nuggets 104-100 at home to take a 2-0 lead in the first round of the playoffs, and Bryant contributed 38 points in the game, the 83rd time in his career that he scored more than 30 points in the playoffs, second only to Michael Jordan. At the same time, Bryant also had three steals, bringing his total playoff steals to 298, surpassing Larry Bird to become the fifth in NBA history and the most active NBA player.

Bynum had 27 points, nine rebounds and two blocks, Gasol had 13 points, 10 rebounds and five assists, and Sessions had 14 points.

The Nuggets returned home with a score of 0-2. Tylawson had 25 points and seven assists, Gallinari had 13 points and eight rebounds, Faried had 14 points and 10 rebounds and Afflalo had 11 points.

Another game in the West that has ended the Mavericks vs. Thunder series surprised everyone, last season's championship was beaten 2-0 by the Young Guards Thunder, although the first game between the two teams was difficult to solve, but this second game suddenly exposed the current situation of the Mavericks, that is, there is no stable scoring point, although last season and this season's regular season, Terry's performance was good, but his state is not stable, last season there was Huang Yu in front of the gun, he can output with peace of mind.

But this season is not good, the Mavericks did not bring in people who can score, the old Carter's offensive power is not enough at all, and his state is not even as good as Terry, and he only scored 5 points and 5 rebounds in the whole game! Although Kidd seems to be a quasi-triple-double every game, it can't hide the shortcomings of his high shot but no shooting percentage.

The Thunder were almost defeated in the first game, and Durant's 1.5-second shot bounced off the basket before hitting it, narrowly beating the Mavericks by one point. After a day off, the Thunder's morale continued unabated.

Perkins exploded after the opening stanza, scoring seven points in less than four minutes as the Thunder opened the game 9-6. Durant and Westbrook then won back-to-back, and the two sides entered a state of entanglement as soon as the game began.

With 1:34 left in the quarter, the Mavericks led by one point at 24-23, Harden also hit a three-pointer, and the Thunder hit four consecutive shots, scoring nine consecutive points in the final 82 seconds to take a 32-24 advantage.

Fisher, who chose not to report to Reppie because he went to the Rockets, finally found his place with the Thunder, hitting three three-pointers at the start of the second quarter, while Durant and Westbrook took over the game after that, covering 17 of the Thunder's next 19 points. The Thunder led by 16 points at 46-30 at one point, and the Mavericks fought back, Marion and Nowitzki hit shots one after another, and Kidd also scored three points with free throws, and Nowitzki scored consecutive points after that, and the Mavericks closed the gap and fell behind only 50-57 in the first half. Nowitzki scored 20 points on 8-of-12 shooting in the first half, and it was under his leadership that the Mavericks narrowed the gap to 16 points at one point.

Nowitzki hit two more free throws at the start of the third quarter, and Marion hit a three-pointer to put the Mavericks up 55-57. With 7:41 left in the quarter, Nowitzki hit two free throws to put the Mavericks up 65-64 for the first time since the second quarter. Kidd then hit two free throws to give the Mavericks a three-point lead, but Kidd then missed consecutive three-point shots, and the Mavericks failed to shoot in five minutes, and the Thunder scored four straight points to regain the lead. The Mavericks have since improved their shooting percentage, alternating leads several times, and after three quarters, the Mavericks trail 77-79.

After four minutes in the fourth quarter, the Thunder only had Collison score two points on a layup, but he then drew his sixth foul and was ejected. Masimmi hit one of two free throws, while Terry hit a three-pointer to give the Mavericks an 83-81 lead. The scores alternated between the two sides, and the Thunder gradually got into the groove, and at the halfway point of the quarter, Westbrook hit a three-pointer to give the Thunder a re-lead at 89-88. Nowitzki missed a layup after that, and the Thunder got another chance on offense, and Fisher was unguarded and hit a three-point shot to give the Thunder a 92-88 lead, forcing the Mavericks to call a timeout.

Coming back after a timeout, Nowitzki scored three points with free throws to close the gap to one point, and the two sides were still inseparable. Carter hit a shot with 2:17 left in the game to put the Mavericks up 97-96, but Durant then hit two free throws to give the Thunder the upper hand as the game entered the final minute. The race is getting hot. The Mavericks were a little less lucky, and with 25.5 seconds left in the game, Nowitzki made a shot that jumped off the basket a few times and missed. The Mavericks only fouled, Harden hit two free throws, and the Thunder led by three points.

The Mavericks still had a three-point shot in the last minute to pull the game into overtime, but Terry missed, and after Carter grabbed the rebound, the Mavericks still had a desperate blow, but Terry missed again under strict defense, and the Mavericks disarmed.

Carlisle obviously thinks too much, although Terry can shoot the ball, but that is when there are scoring points to attract the defense, and in the current situation, the Thunder will not let Terry shoot easily if Carter or Kidd shoots.

Although Nowitzki scored 31 points and 6 rebounds, he couldn't support it alone, and he couldn't carry the Mavericks alone, Marion had 15 points and 8 rebounds, West had 13 points, Kidd had 10 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists, and Terry had 13 points.

The Thunder twins scored a total of 55 points, with Sbrook scoring 29 points for the Thunder, Durant 26 points and 10 rebounds, and Perkins 13 points and 6 rebounds. Harden came off the bench with 15 points, five rebounds and five assists, and Fisher had 11 points.

In the second game between the Spurs and the Jazz, the Spurs played very easily, winning easily 114-93 at home, with a total score of 2-0, and the pressure was completely lost to the Jazz.

There was no way for the Jazz to win the Spurs in the regular season, the two teams played a total of four games, and the first three of them lost, and finally won one game at the end of the regular season, which was still the rest of GDP in that round.

In the first game of the playoffs, the Jazz fell behind by a large score and finally lost by 15 points, and Parker was like no one under the basket and easily scored 28 points.

The Jazz lineup is unchanged today, and Josh Howard, who had a sluggish first game, is still in the starting lineup. The Jazz still want to make a change, at least to strengthen their defense against Parker, and Al Jefferson claims that he must be fouled once or twice or else he won't be able to defend the basket.

The Jazz defense still didn't work, and this time they collapsed earlier. It took 4:30 minutes before the Jazz hit their first shot after they were already trailing 2-10. Parker was still at ease, and halfway through the quarter, he scored a layup on a fast break, followed by a steal from Dior, and the Spurs made another fast break, Parker assisted on Green, who dunked, and the Spurs extended their advantage to 17-4. It was only in the final minutes of the quarter that the Jazz picked up and tied the score at 17-28.

Neal hit a three-pointer at the start of the second quarter, but it was the Spurs' only score in the first 5:30 of the quarter as the Jazz took the opportunity to tie the score at 26-31. The Spurs then found their way from beyond the three-point line, with Green hitting three three-pointers and Leonard hitting a long shot, while the Spurs failed to score for nearly seven minutes and went on a 20-0 spurt to open up a 51-26 deficit. The Jazz didn't score again until 17.9 seconds left in the quarter, trailing 28-53 at halftime.

The Jazz kept Parker's plan from going bankrupt, and the door was open to him in the second half. Shortly after the start of the third quarter, Parker hit two consecutive shots to give the Spurs a 28-point lead at 61-33. With 6:46 left in the quarter, Parker made a layup to give the Spurs a 68-35 lead. Parker continued to break through, Duncan didn't come to the board, and the perimeter also hit a three-pointer, and the Spurs led by 36 points at the most, 83-47. After three quarters, they were leading 87-53.

The outcome lost suspense, and the Jazz no longer sent their main players on the court in the final quarter, and the Spurs started with only Dio on the court. The Jazz played nearly three minutes in the quarter and failed to shoot as the Spurs extended their advantage to 38 points.

Although there is such a strange thing as rotating rest for the Spurs in the league, after the Spurs reviewed by Gary Neil, the Spurs' lineup with no injuries at all is still terrible, this is the essence of a strong team!

Last year's Grizzlies Black Eight can be said to have made the Spurs lose face and lose a lot, and this season the Spurs will go all out, otherwise they will not get a 50-16 record! Although he is tied with the Bulls, the difference between him and the second-place Thunder is 3 games, while the difference between the Bulls and the Heat is 4 wins, so the Spurs not only won the first place in the Western regular season, but also the first in the league.

"I'll go, now it's noisy outside, are you still as stable as Mount Tai?"

Bill Duffy looked at Huang Yu who was sitting there watching the news, and he was angry and banned himself from the team, what is this playing, and there is a general, but he directly poured a lot of dirty water on himself, even if he fires Negro next year, it is very difficult to recruit a good coach, after all, not every coach has the ability to fight wits and courage with the internal thorn head, unless the Spurs' Popovich is poached, it is difficult to do!

"Don't worry, there are a lot of candidates for coaching, I think the one next door is good, and the Lakers' record this season is not bad! ~”

Huang Yu took a sip and said.

It's a matter of time before Negro replaces, after all, he has already violated the taboo between a coach and a player and the boss, although there is nothing wrong with you standing in line, but it is not right to want to be left and right, this kind of unstable element should still be done!

As for the head coach who is eyeing the Lakers, Huang Yu also thinks that McBrown is a capable nanny, he is the head coach of the Spurs, a defensive expert recognized by the league, and he led the Cavaliers to a 66-16 record when he was a nanny for James, which is much stronger than Negro, and he can also be used at critical moments, and only an idiot like the Lakers will fire him.

He originally led the Lakers to the Western Conference semifinals this season, and look at his successors, Mike Anthony and Byron Scott, who took more money than him, but what about the record! The best was McMike Anthony's 12-13 season, which ended in the first round, and he couldn't even make the playoffs for the next three years.

Although Huang Yu is actually more optimistic about Tyronn Lue, who has been a nanny for James, he has a good relationship with the Giants and should know how to communicate with Chinese players, but he is currently studying with the Celtics and is still a long time away from coming out of the mountain.
