It's just a game. Moreover, the playoffs are still best-of-7. But tonight the Lakers fans are just happy! And the Clippers also know that they must adjust their condition immediately and wait for the second game against the Lakers the day after tomorrow. It's still Staples Arena.

"The opponent played well under the basket. But tonight's shooting is a little inaccurate," the Zen master was also in good shape at this time, and was there to be questioned by reporters.

"Zhou Yang and Walton are both good players, but whether they can grasp the good performance in the playoffs depends on the future" For Walton, he is in the playoffs for the third time. But it's the first time I've seen the Lakers so united!

Bryant didn't have the slightest emotional wave. Not much to talk about, as if you had just gone through a regular season game. After answering some questions with the team at the press conference, he went straight home.

109：90！ The Clippers collapsed in the final quarter! Ao Fat didn't end up until the last minute of the game...... Their "shark-cutting tactics" failed today. And Kobe Bryant couldn't catch it even more......

In addition to the cooperation of the two people on the field, Odom and Zhou Yang also joined in. Although it was reported in the media that the Lakers' "Big Three" cooperated tacitly to win the game. But Jackson knew that there was also Zhou Yang's credit in this!

In this game, Brand got 15 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists! Margeti 12 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists! Carman had 9 points, 10 rebounds and 2 blocks, Mobley had 20 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists, and Livingston had 19 points, 5 rebounds and 3 steals!

Because they didn't win the game, some of the players' wonderful games were not exposed too much. However, the Lakers coaching staff still saw that the opponent's young player Livingston performed well today!

On the Lakers' side, O'Neal got 16 points, 12 rebounds and 5 blocks!! Zhou Yang had 16 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists, Cook had 7 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists, and Kobe Bryant had 26 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists! Smush had 14 points and two assists.

Odom got 12 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists in this game! Cook is still quite satisfied with his stats in this game. His turnovers were the second lowest on the team!

The Zen master was very happy with this result! What makes him very happy is that Kobe Bryant can balance offense and defense in this game, and he can also support his teammates in terms of external assists! This is a rare occurrence!

It is precisely because of this that the role players play normally, the overall strength is good, the team stars are not alone, and the cooperation and tacit understanding on the field can only play such an effect when it reaches a certain level!

The Clippers played a good game, but when they played against such a Lakers, they also knew what the outcome would be. Livingston led the second and third teams into the final quarter.

He also knew that the team couldn't win this game, so he simply increased the number of attacks he attacked. This makes his stats a little better. Even in the end, there are data comparable to the main players of the team.

Clippers coach Dunleavy didn't care about it. Now that it's all like this. Then the players in the room are free to do whatever they want. It's good to have your own experience.

After this battle, the morale of the Lakers has improved a lot! They have also gone from the somewhat uncertain mood before the first playoff game to a team with a lot of confidence! First of all, the team's two players, O'Neal and Odom, have brought a lot of confidence to the team's interior defense!

......

There have been no miracles of reversal this season. Even the fourth and fifth places on both sides did not have such a situation. The Lakers finally eliminated the Clippers 4-1!

After the opponent only won one game in the third game, the Lakers won two straight games and won them! It's fair to say that the first round of the tournament was a little too smooth for them.

Both the Spurs and Mavericks won 4-2. The Suns swept the Grizzlies 4-0. Then the Lakers will play two games at home with the Spurs in the next game. This season's regular season for second and third place battles!

The Phoenix Suns are about to meet Dallas. The matchup on the other end of the East is that the Pistons face the Cavaliers, and the Heat and Nets play the next round of the battle!

Linda finally had time to watch the game at this point. She is still learning about her future work every day. She plans to try to compress it as much as possible in college.

Some of the students who were admitted to university with her took a year off to travel. They want to spend the year thinking about what they will do in the future. Or don't want anything just to relax.

And Linda already knew what she wanted to do when she was in middle school. If she hadn't been adopted back by Zhou Yang's mother, I really wouldn't know what she was doing now.

When she was in the orphanage, as long as she couldn't play together, Linda would basically quarrel and even fight with each other! What she knew there was that she either beat someone else on this day, or that she was unprepared to be beaten by five or six children who were also orphans several years older than herself!

That's why she doesn't show mercy when she fights!

If she had been assigned to a nearby school by the orphanage, she would have been at a loss when she came out. In the middle school near the orphanage, the admission rate was always the lowest among the schools in the area.

The children who are going to school in their orphanage are all talking about that kind of school, and you will know more about what it means to be abandoned. Crimes and fights are very frequent! Linda considers herself lucky.

I have now been accepted into a university. In the future, if I can become an assistant in a company, or even open a brokerage company, I can recruit some potential artists like Taylor......

Whenever she thinks about it, Linda is a little embarrassed. Although this idea was a bit of a gamble at the beginning, when I think about what I want to do in the future, I still feel a little unrealistic.

In the days with Zhou Yang, the two of them had a very difficult time. During that time, Zhou Yang went out to work when he was about to run out of money, and went to the school cafeteria to eat for free, in order to have some money left over every day to pay for some living expenses for the remaining months.

At that time, Linda didn't have any hobbies. Every day, in addition to watching some funny TV series with Zhou Yang, he is studying and chatting with students at school. Until that time students from other schools came to the school. She also met her senpai, Taylor, who was a senior sister at the time.

She didn't expect that Taylor, a girl who didn't have many friends like herself, is now a cutting-edge star in recent years! It's too late to let her sing now, Linda wants to listen to the song, and she has nothing to hum some songs about. But she had no idea of becoming a singer in the future.

Since Taylor came to her house that day and left phone calls with Zhou Yang or something, it made her angry! Now one step closer to the idea of becoming a broker or company assistant!

She even thought that if she opened a brokerage company in the future, would she ask Zhou Yang to sign over. In that way, he will meet with himself from time to time because of his work~

......

"You're right. There were even times when we were able to get ahead of the Clippers in terms of team coordination. But when we meet Spurs, our cooperation looks like a set of 'pieces' to them. They can move freely through it. ”

During the days off the team, Phil and Vincent, who had gathered ideas for each assistant coach, chatted in a room. The computer is connected to the Internet, and the other teaching assistants are either at home or outside.

The reason why I didn't call the TAs was because they were all in trouble...... The tense playoffs have left them mentally stressed. When the first round is over, the other party starts to ask for leave. There's no reason Jackson shouldn't give.

Although in the current game, he still has to sort out and analyze the team's tactical play by himself. But a lot of the details of the work in my hands are done by the teaching assistants. You can't use them all the time without giving them time to rest.

"The Spurs are in good shape right now with outside scoring and scoring points in combinations. But they also have moments of downturns."

"yes, I thought they could sweep the Suns as well. The Kings are very good, and it makes San Antonio's heart less strong."

"Zhou Yang, I took a look, his average playing time in the five games of the playoffs was 23.2 minutes, and he was able to get 10.2 points, 4 rebounds and 3.4 assists. My idea is not to increase his playing time because the team is now in a state of both having him and not having him."

"This kid is okay with the Clippers, but I don't think the Spurs can play with that kind of stats. We have Cook, Wharton and Zhou Yang here. Of the three, I think it is Wharton who has more experience and ability among the three. Zhou Yang...... After all, this is his first playoff appearance in his first season......

"I found that Zhou Yang's personal ability and consciousness are really good!" Vincent still felt that it was a more appropriate choice to let Zhou Yang increase his playing time at this time.

"If we have to do it, we might as well try it. The big forward is still Odom, and the small front is more suitable for Wharton. I really don't want to meet the Spurs in the playoffs. You know why? ”

Phil let out a sigh of relief and picked up the coffee cup that Vincent pressed down, and he immediately went out with two cups. From Jackson's state at this time, Chinese Sen knew that this old man had really worked hard in the past few days.

"The Spurs have grown again? Am I guessing right? Vincent was holding a pale blue tray at this time. A cup of hot coffee appeared in front of the Zen master with a cup of hot coffee on it.

"Vincent's main content for today has already been discussed. Pack up your things and go back to rest in a moment. I won't use it tomorrow. Are you okay to take time off these days? ”

"First of all, am I right?" Vincent heard his boss asking him with concern. My heart immediately warmed. But he really hasn't had anything to do these days. And the main thing to think about is how to play the teaching assistants, but he is more relaxed than them.

"The Spurs, if they don't play well, they will be eliminated in the second round or the final Western Conference Finals. But when they are in good shape, they go all the way to the finals, and they can easily win them when they meet the Eastern Conference champion, which is the last opponent of the season! Such a contingent is terrible. Thinking of this, there are always teams to face them. Fortunately, we are not weak."

Jackson wanted to open a video of the Spurs playoffs. He stopped what he was doing in time.

"That's all for today's work. Vinson, if you leave here in a moment, it's a holiday. Gives you two days off. Text me again if you have any new ideas, I'm going to take a break too, but I'm always waiting for your message."

The Zen master got up and stretched. While chatting with Vincent about something else, he stood up and walked aimlessly around the room.

......

The Clippers are not as strong as they could have been. Zhou Yang's data in the match with them is okay. Some media were also surprised that Zhou Yang could play such a result in the playoffs. That's a decent blue-collar striker.

If it weren't for the more than 20 minutes of playing time given by the coach and the trust of his teammates, it is estimated that it would be difficult for him to get such data! The morale of the Clippers is also becoming increasingly erratic.

And in the third and fourth games against the Clippers, Zhou Yang came on as a substitute. In the end of the third game, Jackson thought that the Lakers couldn't catch up, so he let Zhou Yang go up to play the final game, so he would get more data.

In the fourth game, the Lakers dragged the opponent into garbage time early, and Zhou Yang also followed the team to score some points during that time.

The reason why Zhou Yang feels that it is not so difficult to enter the playoffs is because the Lakers are in third place in the West after the regular season!

If they were in the bottom four, it wouldn't have been easy. You must know that in the first round of the playoffs, the bottom four teams in the East and West have all been eliminated!

And in the second round, the intensity of the competition is not low. The top four teams are all strong! In the West, only the Mavericks may be slightly weaker, and teams like the Suns and Spurs have both shown their ability to function well through the regular season this year!

The Suns have Nash, and the Spurs have Parker! Popovich felt that the Lakers team would not be too difficult after winning the Kings.

They have a lot of great players though. But the overall feeling of the team is still relatively slow. It may only take five games to win them. One of the main things the team is going to do with the Lakers is to cut ties between them.

They're pretty good at that. As long as this is done well, the Lakers as a whole will be broken down into several parts. At that time, it won't be so difficult for the Spurs to take them.

The team will also be a little more outlier in the early stage in terms of playing style. Because of the Lakers' big center, if you can't let him go down immediately. The opponent's defense under the basket is still very strong.

The Lakers came to San Antonio after a few days of practice. The players are basically holding back their emotions. Because the second round has just begun. Their opponent is the Spurs.

As long as they win, the Spurs will advance again in the Western Conference finals! They are already very close to the championship!

"I don't mean for you to start learning and increasing your teamwork now, but to get used to the pace of the Spurs in the game. Only in this way is it possible not to be disturbed by the rhythm of the other party. O'Neal, you should also pay more attention when you are playing."

The players were quiet in the dressing room at this time. After listening to what Jackson said, some nodded and some looked at each other. The shouts of the fans at this time seem to be blocked out.
