There will be no sweep in the East, which is confirmed by the top of the league, because they have actually put in place a series of measures to help the current "son".

However, it remains to be said whether James Hart, the current "own son", can be used for a long time, because after entering the playoffs, Dwyane Wall has performed much better than him.

And the reason why the Western League is worried is because they didn't expect the Lakers to lose so badly.

Although the Runners swept the Lakers in the regular season, the league has always believed that the gap between the two sides is not too big, which is not only the consensus of many senior leaders in the league, but also the consensus of many professionals, in any case, the Runners are a team that is equivalent to playing the playoffs for the first time.

However, with the end of the first two rounds of the playoffs, many people's minds have changed, and just after the Runners played the first game of the Western Conference Finals against the Lakers, most professional commentators have also changed their tunes, and they have predicted that this will be a Western Conference Finals with little suspense.

The league is reluctant to see the Lakers swept, after all, this is completely inconsistent with their fundamental interests, and the league wants to see a close match, while competing against the fierce Western Conference Finals, so that the game will have high ratings and attract more fans to watch the game.

When it comes to the Western Conference Finals, the number of neutral fans is much higher than the number of home and away fans, and although the Runners have a large number of fans in the East, the league also knows that their roots are still in North America, so the preferences of neutral fans in North America determine which team the league should support.

Neutral fans in North America don't want to see a game without suspense, and they do have a good impression of the new style of play led by the Runners, but if one side of the game is abused and incomplete, then neutral fans don't want to watch such a game, so the Lakers can't be swept has become the consensus of the league's top management and even the broadcasters of the Western Conference finals.

So when Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals between the Runners and the Lakers began, the Runners could feel the subtle atmosphere of the game.

In fact, at the beginning of this game, the runners were absolutely dominant, and the Saskata fans got up and cheered excitedly from the beginning of the game.

Turgun was in great shape for the game, hitting two difficult three-pointers in a row from the start, which directly made the entire Energy Balance Arena high.

The Lakers returned to their traditional inside-outside style of play, and Van Lauderway knew that if he continued to keep the team running and shooting, he might end up in the coaching position.

But the Lakers, who have returned to their traditional style of play, don't have a good way to defend against the Runners who started to play run-and-shoot.

Charles Mobley has already cast a shadow on Turgon, and he has been passive against Turgon.

In fact, Mobley's defense was not out of position at all at the beginning, but Turgun could still throw the ball in when the opponent's defense was in the face, which had to make Mobley feel extremely frustrated.

However, the atmosphere of the game changed subtly.

The referee's whistle began to slow down the pace of the game abruptly, and the runners' running and bombing style relied on the rhythm to drive, but the referee's punishment suddenly became harsh.

First, the Lakers were whistled for a foul for an overly defensive move, which was beneficial to the Runners, but Turgon's next mid-range shot was not counted.

If that's all there is to it, the referee then blew for Turgun and Salish for a back-to-back walking violation, as well as a blow for Blair to step on the line in the bottom corner.

After a few consecutive free throws, the Runners' rhythm and feel were disrupted, and instead the Lakers took advantage of the inside and began to tie the score.

Elvin Butler has grown rapidly this season, but his height has always been a big disadvantage, which has kept him on the back foot when defending Stellary Carter.

Stelle Carter also seemed to understand the referee's intentions right away, and he attacked the Runners inside in quick succession, and Irvin was forced to rest with two individual fouls less than seven minutes into the game.

Wang Lei actually almost understood the league's intention after the referee's blowing became severe, so he decisively called a timeout after that, and then asked the team to change the style of play and slow down with the opponent little by little.

Wang Lei's response did not make a difference to the Runners' predicament, and although the referee's decision did not seem to be very biased, the situation was increasingly favorable to the Lakers.

At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers led the Runners by four points.

Heading into the second quarter, the two sides were evenly matched, and the referees began to rein in their behaviour at this point, with the Runners starting to regain the advantage after the starters returned to the court, and Turgun was in excellent form today, with his three-pointer giving the Runners a six-point lead at halftime.

At halftime, Wang Lei reminded the players to pay attention to the referee in the second half, of course, in fact, the players of the Runners also generally have an accurate judgment of the referee's penalty in the game.

Sure enough, after entering the third quarter, Turgun was whistled for an offensive foul.

This blow finally made the Sa City fans present understand something, and for a while, the boos in the stands were loud.

Ma Dongmei was still watching the game from the sidelines today, and she was also a little frowning at this time.

During the period of pregnancy and giving birth to her son, Ma Dongmei began to find time to understand and learn basketball things, and she felt that as Wang Lei's wife, she could not understand anything, nor could she embarrass her husband outside.

Ma Dongmei, who has watched a lot of game videos, also understands that the referee's whistle is a little biased today, which makes her question the game environment of the NBA league a little.

The Lakers began to become more and more ferocious in the third quarter, and they generally understood the intentions of the referees and the league at halftime, so after the start of the third quarter, the Lakers frequently looked for physical confrontation with the Runners players.

Wang Lei had to make frequent substitutions to ensure that the players on the court did not carry too many fouls, but the game was almost out of his control now.

By the end of the third quarter, the Runners had trailed the Lakers by eleven points.

Halfway through the fourth quarter, Wang Lei had to send all the rotation players, because at this time, except for Turgon, the other four starters on the court had five fouls, and Erwin had already left the court full of fouls.

The Lakers finally took away a victory in Sacramento, although this victory was said to be stolen by Saucasa fans, but this is the NBA, and no one can fight against interests and capital.
