For fans of the Los Angeles Lakers, they are looking forward to their team reaching the Western Conference Finals and then knocking the Runners to the top.

Although many Lakers fans also know that the Runners are not a strong team in the traditional sense, they have their own unique style and characteristics, and they can even be said to be the most offensive team in the world basketball today.

But Lakers fans have always believed that the Runners will definitely show their defeat if they make the playoffs, because they are a team with little to no playoff experience.

However, the reality is that the Runners made it to the Western Conference Finals early after losing only one of the first two playoff rounds, and their own team was hit by a fierce counterattack from the Grizzlies.

The day after the Runners eliminated the tenacious Rockets to reach the Western Conference Finals with a 4-1 aggregate score, Game 5 between the Lakers and the Grizzlies began.

In the previous four matchups, the Lakers and Grizzlies were tied 2-2.

The Grizzlies took the Lakers off the road in their first game.

At Staples Arena, no one would have expected the Grizzlies, who had not been very good before, to explode into such a powerful fight, their offensive tactics seemed very simple, but under the tutelage of coach Ron Jerry, the Grizzlies' core combination of point guard Kouryat Lawrence and power forward Pastor Manney used the seemingly simple classic blocking and pick-and-roll tactics to play extremely strong offensive firepower.

Compared to his first time against the Runners, Coolyat Lawrence's outside shooting ability has improved dramatically, and his good partner Pastor Manny's mid-range shooting ability has been redeveloped by coach Rons Jerry.

This pair, which is very similar to the black and white combination of the Utah Jazz in the mid-to-late nineties of the twentieth century in Wang Lei's image of the earth, is extremely eye-catching under the Lakers' defense.

The Lakers clearly underestimated the Grizzlies in their opening game, underestimating the power of the Grizzlies' core duo, and with the excellent play of several of the Grizzlies' role players, the Grizzlies were able to win their first game on the road despite some minor mistakes made by Ronce Jerry while directing on the floor.

The Lakers, who lost their first home game, repented and finally recovered their form in Game 2, but the Grizzlies still caused the Lakers a lot of problems.

In the final moments of the game, if it weren't for the Lakers' interior core Streey Carter's strong attack to make a two-and-one and cause Grizzlies power forward Paster Manny to leave the court, maybe the Lakers would have lost their second home court.

Game 3 moved to Memphis, the Grizzlies' home court, and Grizzlies fans in Memphis "welcomed" the Lakers in their own unique way.

Lakers head coach Van Lauderway originally thought that he had figured out the characteristics of the Grizzlies' classic blocking and dismantling tactics after the previous two games, but Lons Jerry is worthy of being a coach that Wang Lei admires a little.

Grizzlies point guard Cyriat Lawrence had an amazing third game, scoring just 16 points, but he dished out 26 assists in a game that made new league history.

Prior to that, the league's playoff record for assists in a single game was 23, and now Kouyat has raised that number to 26, which is a staggering statistic.

So although the Lakers played very well in this game, with all six players scoring in double figures, and Stellar Carter even brushing up a quasi-triple-double of 32 points, 13 rebounds and 8 assists, the Lakers still lost to Memphis by four points in the end.

In the face of difficulties, Lakers head coach Van Lauderway showed his Dutch-American decisive side, and he allowed the Lakers to launch an all-out offense in Game 4, which was very close to the Run-and-Gun tactics of the Runners.

The Grizzlies exposed their lack of response at this point, as Ronce Jerry's poor on-court command caused the team's rout in the third quarter.

After levelling the aggregate score at 2-2, the crucial fifth game finally arrived.

The Lakers, who are back at home, have a very clear "home-court advantage".

Compared with the lesser-known Memphis Grizzlies, the league has always felt that the Western Conference Finals between the Lakers and the Runners may be more attractive to fans and even the general public, so at Staples Arena, although the referees are very hidden, discerning people can still see the difference between the referees in the judgment between the two teams.

The Grizzlies ultimately failed to pull off a miracle on the road, as they reached the end of the fourth quarter with five fouls on both of the team's cores, and Paster Manny was the Grizzlies' defensive slug, which ultimately led to the Grizzlies' defeat of Staples.

After losing Game 5, the Grizzlies also lost the confidence of the game, and Lons Jerry himself was a little distracted, and he even had some resentment towards himself, and he felt that his lack of knowledge on the court was the real reason for the team's loss.

The Grizzlies, who eventually returned to Memphis, failed to withstand the onslaught of the Lakers at home.

The Lakers also eliminated the Grizzlies with a total score of 4-2 and successfully advanced to the Western Conference Finals.

This is undoubtedly the best result for the league, regardless of the outcome of the Western Conference Finals, their goal has been achieved, and what a dramatic Western Conference Finals matchup between the league's established powerhouses and emerging kings will be.

On the Eastern side, the league's "own son" James Hart did not continue to drop the chain, and this extremely realistic player changed his more exclusive style of play after the second round of the playoffs.

The Washington Wizards face the Orlando Magic in the second round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

Although the Magic's interior center Ryan Worcesterley still performed well in the second round, the Magic team also learned from the Runners and killed James Hart, but James Hart was very smart to attract the Magic team with his ears, and then the rest of the Wizards played a wonderful performance, and won two home games in this way.

After that, the Magic team was forced to give up the bag against James Hart, and James Hart, who had almost no opponents in the heads-up matchup, eventually led the team to win one of the two away games, which also led to the final collapse of the Magic team.

In the end, the Wizards defeated the Magic 4-1 to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals.
