James absolutely loves the city of Los Angeles, and in his previous life, he would come here every summer to train, sometimes inviting Durant, sometimes inviting John Wall.

But now he can't agree to Wade's invitation, although he desperately hopes to establish a friendship with Wade, because Sun Zhuo is also among the participants in this training.

James' first season has ended, if there is anything or someone that impresses him this season, it can only be Sun Zhuo, Sun Zhuo completely stole his top edge, and the two meetings in the regular season were all targeted by Sun Zhuo.

James really didn't want to train with Sun Zhuo, and during his first vacation, he didn't want to remember the sad things, so James made an excuse and hung up the phone.

Since the first two games of the Western Conference Finals were played on the home court of the Timberwolves, Wade decided to go to Los Angeles when the two sides played the third game, and he had already bought tickets for the Lakers vs Timberwolves G3.

……

On May 21, the Timberwolves' home court, the target center arena, the first game of the Western Conference semifinals has been officially staged.

The Timberwolves are the No. 1 team in the West this season, and Kevin Garnett also won the regular season MVP this season, which seems to be a very strong opponent, but after playing against the powerful Lakers, the Timberwolves have no sign of victory.

Just opened, the Lakers suppressed the Timberwolves in all directions, defending O'Neal is Ervin Johnson, who has the same name as Magic Johnson, it seems that before the fight, he was afraid of O'Neal, O'Neal was nervous before he got the ball, and he kept trying to have a physical confrontation with O'Neal that he couldn't take advantage of, and didn't let O'Neal receive the ball.

The Lakers have long expected that no matter who the opponent is, O'Neal must be the most feared point of the opponent, followed by Kobe, Kobe Bryant, who also encountered a lot of interference when holding the ball, but now the Lakers have another point to trust in addition to the OK combination, that is, Sun Zhuo.

On the first ball, Kobe Bryant gave the ball to Sun Zhuo in the bottom corner, and Sun Zhuo successfully hit the first three points after receiving the ball.

"I didn't expect it to be so easy." Sun Zhuo is very relaxed, because he knows that the Timberwolves are not the opponent of the Lakers, and he thought that after he exposed his three-point ability in the bottom corner, the opponent would defend himself strictly, but he didn't expect that this was not the case, and the Timberwolves still preferred to put the defense on O'Neal and Kobe.

"I'd rather let this rookie beat us than let Shaq and Kobe play their rhythm, the power of the OK combination, we really can't resist it, and this rookie, I don't believe he's really that good." Timberwolves coach Philip Sanders, unlike Popovich, doesn't take Son Zhuotai seriously, he has never seen such a good three-point shooter in the world, and he doesn't believe that such a situation can happen to a rookie who has just entered the league.

However, Sun Zhuo's three-pointers fell into the Nets accurately again and again, and every time he scored, Sanders' face would be ugly.

Not only Sun Zhuo, Karl Malone also played very well today, his counterpart is the new MVP Kevin Garnett, but Malone seems to have a special desire to educate Garnett, the whole person is full of vitality, he is still a little old in the first two rounds of the series, and when he came to the Western Conference Finals, he was able to directly turn over and shoot Garnett after receiving the ball, and he could also do a false move, and quickly hit the basket to play 2+1!

"What happened to Carl Malone? I feel ten years younger all at once! ”

All the Lakers players are happy with the veteran, and Karl Malone's form has also provoked others to play.

Kobe Bryant is unstoppable, he first hit a few shots, and then, O'Neal also began to be active under the basket, hanging the Timberwolves inside, sometimes you will even see O'Neal get the ball under the basket, and the Timberwolves all four pounced.

The Lakers were very quick to pass the ball, and Gary Payton began to hit three-pointers at a 45-degree angle.

The Western Conference Finals were very surprising, I thought the game would be very intense, but I didn't expect it to be the Lakers beating the Timberwolves, and in less than halftime, the Lakers led by as many as 15 points.

The Timberwolves lost not only the score, but the most important thing is the momentum, today is still on their home court, but there is no momentum at all, if it goes to the Lakers' home court, the Timberwolves are even more hopeless.

As a result, in the first game of the series, the Lakers relied on the performance of the whole team and easily defeated the Timberwolves, and the highest score for the Timberwolves was the "madman" Sprewell, a guy who had defended Kobe Bryant with 0 points, and Mr. Garnett, the MVP, only scored 14 points.

The next day, it was the game between the Pacers and the Pistons in the East, the Pacers won one game first, but it was very difficult to win, the Pistons prevented O'Neal Jr. and Artest from shooting miserably, and I believe that soon the Pacers will be defeated by the Pistons.

Then came the second game between the Lakers and the Timberwolves.

In my impression, the Timberwolves won two games in this series, one of which was at home, the team with home court advantage, it is really unreasonable to lose two games in a row, G2 this game, it is indeed the Timberwolves who played better, O'Neal, Karl Malone This game is no longer as excited as the first game, only Kobe Bryant has always played a cold-blooded killer, and Sun Zhuo, he has fully adapted to the rhythm of the playoffs, and scoring is not limited to shooting three points in the bottom corner.

As a result, this time, the Lakers won again, and the Timberwolves lost two games in a row!

After the game, the media and fans were lamenting the strength of the Lakers, who were able to win two games in a row on the road, and they won against the No. 1 team in the West with the MVP! Is there really no one in the West who is the Lakers' opponent except for the Spurs?

Some people even completely ignore the opponents in the East, thinking that no team can stop the Lakers this season, and the Lakers are already ironclad champions!

There is also laughter within the Lakers, and the training has been relaxed and happy in the past few days, and Phil Jackson is even thinking about which is the opponent of the Lakers in the Finals.

In the second game between the Pistons and the Pacers, the Pacers were defeated by the Pistons, and they only scored 66 points in the whole game.

Therefore, even if the Lakers lead the Timberwolves 2-0, Phil Jackson is still cautious, their goal is the championship, not the Western Conference championship, the Pistons began to make Phil feel uneasy, and now, they must quickly solve the opponent of the Timberwolves and prepare for the Finals.

The third game between the Lakers and the Timberwolves returned to the Staples Center, the home of the Lakers, and in today's game, Dwyane Wade also came to watch and bought a first-row position.

After the players from both sides entered the field, Sun Zhuo took the initiative to walk towards Wade and stretched out his hand to welcome his arrival.

Wade also stood up and shook Sun Zhuo's hand, saying, "Is this what the Western Conference Finals feel?" Really want to experience it. ”

It's good for Wade to be able to enter the second round of the playoffs in his rookie season, James didn't even make the playoffs, if Sun Zhuo didn't have such a strong teammate, he wouldn't be able to come to the stage of the Western Conference Finals alone, but people are always not satisfied, and Wade's goal now is to make it to the division finals.

Sun Zhuo smiled: "Then you have to join a team in the west first." ”

"Haha." Wade smiled, glanced at the Timberwolves players on the court, and suddenly said, "Sun, I don't think you guys have a good game today, you look at Kevin Garnett's expression." ”

Sun Zhuo looked at the half of the Timberwolves players and found Garnett, who had a bald head and a tall figure, with a wolf-like gaze in his eyes!

"It's really a wolf." Sun Zhuo was also frightened.
