On April 27, the Lakers already led 2-0 in the first round of the playoffs, and NBA history proves that they are likely to eliminate the Trail Blazers and enter the next round, and the Lakers are also quietly focusing part of their attention on the next round of their biggest possible opponent, the Spurs. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The Lakers' chances of progressing to the Western Conference semifinals seemed sealed with a home win over the Trail Blazers, with the Spurs already leading the Clippers 2-0 an hour and a half ago, and last year's Western Conference semifinals opponents are likely to meet again.

History also proves that the Trail Blazers have "half cut into the ground", because in the history of the NBA, only 11 teams have come back from a 2-0 deficit in the playoffs, and the Lakers have not missed a single game since 1969 with a 2-0 lead in the playoffs.

In the last six years, only one second-ranked team has been eliminated in the first round, and since the current playoff format was introduced in 1984, only three seventh-ranked teams have advanced to the second round.

Lakers scouts and coaches are already quietly gathering some information about the Spurs in preparation for revenge on last season's opponents.

Of course, they didn't get carried away, and they didn't book the celebration banquet in advance.

In her post-match interview, Zhang was confident, but also cautious: "I think we are constantly improving from the performance of the whole team to each player. That's where we are now. But it's not like we don't have to work anymore, and I'm not sure we're in a position where we can compete with the Spurs, and the playoffs aren't regular seasons, and we can't make the same mistakes as the Trail Blazers thought they could beat us in the playoffs. ”

If this is said by someone else, it is full of arrogance, but when it comes out of Zhang Fu's mouth, it is indeed very cautious.

The Lakers and Spurs were in a very different situation, with them suppressing the Trail Blazers and the Spurs completely controlling the Clippers, both of whom were two-win, winning by an average of 18 points per game.

Clippers owner Sterling is very unhappy now, especially seeing that Zhang Zhu can attack and defend well in these two games, without the slightest embarrassment of rookie players in the playoffs, and it can even be said that Zhang Qi is the best player in the first round of the playoffs so far this year, how can this not make him angry?

To be honest, the Clippers have played well in the regular season, Eddie Jones and Divac have also played star-level performances in the playoffs, and the two have nothing to find fault with, only blame the Clippers for the whole team for playing at a level for these two people, and the performance of others is really not flattering.

When Baylor was frantically shouted out of class by Clippers fans, the only consolation was that the two players he traded were not parallel goods, but it was the excellent performance of these two in the regular season that allowed the Clippers to enter the playoffs, and these two also played their proper performance in the playoffs.

But the problem is that Zhang Zhu's side is too perverted, unless Divac and Eddie Jones play as a Rockets duo, otherwise Baylor will be drowned in the saliva of Clippers fans all the way, and will continue to be the laughing stock of global media and fans.

On the Trail Blazers' side, Sabonis's fatigue has always been the focus, and he was almost invisible in the fourth quarter, at which time you can see the reason why he only played two quarters in the regular season.

PJ Callesimo was a little distressed, but he said the Trail Blazers weren't panicking: "We also followed them for a while and didn't get pulled away until late in the fourth quarter. We'll be waiting for the Lakers in Portland on Tuesday. ”

This kind of voice is the last stubbornness of the head coach, and everyone knows that the time of the Trail Blazers is running out.

The biggest problem for the Trailblazers now is Zhang Zhu, they can't stop the Koala baby with the ball, although they can see some targeted defense, but it is useless, who let them defend Zhang Zhu's first line of defense is similar to paper paste. It can be said that if no one blocks Zhang Qi's breakthrough first, it is unlikely that he will be prevented under the existing rules.

Even, now some voices are coming out, they think: joint defense is imperative, and a monster like Zhang Yu has to use joint defense to sanction him.

At first, the media thought that the Trail Blazers' interior was stronger than the Lakers in both offense and defense, but in the game, Sabonis was too slow, and although Clifford's defense was good, he had to focus on the Magic and couldn't play on the other side.

In this case, Zhang Fu is basically a single defense, as long as he wants to score, he can at least get a lot of free throws, and the game is completely impossible to play, so it is really necessary for joint defense to become legal.

The Los Angeles Times fully affirmed the Lakers' performance in Game 2, and there were some bright spots in this game: Finley jumped to become a lethal shooter (4-of-7 three-pointers), Zhang Yi re-emerged as the team's firepower (4-of-8 three-pointers), Sebaros scored 18 points in Game 2, Van Exel also scored 12 points, and the Lakers' main players did not perform badly.

Coach Harris said "everything is working well at the moment and no injuries is the best news", except that Van Exel seemed to be unhappy with the lack of playing time again, playing only 24 minutes in the second game and 25 minutes in the first, and was clearly a little restless after the game.

Most of the media agreed that Zhang Mao's performance in the second game was particularly eye-catching, with his unstoppable violent breakthroughs and solid back hits, and even some fancy back-backs, which fascinated the fans.

Harris gave him more freedom on offense in Game 2, and although Zhang also barely took a shot on several occasions, he missed, and he could also use his strong body to get fouled.

In the second game, Zhang's 15 free throws cost the Trail Blazers not only the score, but also the excessive number of internal fouls prevented them from taking full advantage of their interior advantage.

Overall, the Lakers are too strong to lose all three of their remaining games in the first round, so let's see how they perform on the road.

The strength of the Lakers is much better than that of the Trail Blazers, and the competition in other groups is similar.

Ross Barkley scored 32 points on the road, but still lost to the supersonic powerhouse as a whole, and lost again.

Although the Rockets and Jazz played 1:1, this was the score caused by the close strength of the two teams, and the other matches were much different.

Only the Pacers, who lacked Miller in the East, pulled one back at home, the Bulls and Knicks both easily won the score of 2-0, and the Magic continued to bloodied the Pistons at home.

The Pistons were able to score more than 90 points in the last game, and this time only 6 people on the team scored.

Yes, you read that right!

The Pistons only had six players score on the team, and some of them only scored two points, which is a rare game.

Grant Hill fought hard in the second game, but only got 19 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists, and the shooting percentage was only 8 of 18, and his performance was relatively sluggish.

After this embarrassing match, no American media thought Hill could be Zhang Fu's opponent, and the two of them did not seem to be a heavyweight player, and their respective qualities were completely tested in the playoffs.

In the face of the pioneers who are not weak, Zhang Yu is simply punching and kicking, like bullying a small pot friend, knocking out the opponent with a huge advantage every time.

But what about Hill? He faced opponents that Zhang had beaten twice in the regular season, but he seemed powerless. Yes, even if the difference in strength between the two teams is obvious, it is too ugly to hand over this kind of answer sheet, right? Not to mention, Hill is 5 years older than Zhang, which means that the two cannot be compared in terms of potential, and they are indeed not a player of a magnitude.

The Chinese media even used a very arrogant headline - West Zhangqiu, East Hill?

As for the content, it's good to refer to the words of the big cute king Gu Mozhi, it's nothing more than that the "West" Zhang Zhu is really worthy of his reputation, and he deserves this prestige, but the "East" Hill is a waste of fame and vulnerability, which is really insulting Zhang Zhu's prestige......

This kind of voice has also become very serious in the United States, and many American fans are no different from Chinese trolls, especially those fans who originally hoped that Hill could beat Zhang Zhu, but now they can't stand the cruel facts, and they have turned from pink to black, and have turned crazy to criticize Hill for how rubbish he is, and I can't wait for him to retire immediately, so as to thank the world!

Before leaving for Portland, Zhang Wei deliberately commented on the fall of some media and fans in his space log: "I saw some very ridiculous voices, Hill is my friend, what is his strength, I know very well, how can I be sure of a momentary success or failure?" What's more, the overall strength of the Pistons is not as good as that of the Magic, and they are fighting away from home, even if I am replaced to lead the team, I dare not say that they can do better than Hill. ”

After knowing Zhang Zhu's support for him, although Hill wondered when they became friends, he was still very grateful for this kind of behavior, and quickly left a thank you and a dozen "pitiful" expressions under Zhang Zhu's space log.

This incident was quickly reported by the media screenshots, which was equivalent to another free advertisement for the Dragonborn Company.

ICQ's spatial function is not quite the same as that of later things like Twitter and blogs, but it already has some prototypes of social platforms.

From Zhang Mao's posting of the journal, Hill's response with an expression, and the media directly reprinting the report, it can be seen that ICQ's influence has been very terrifying, and a primitive virtual social platform has been established to a certain extent.

On April 29, the first two matches of the first round were all over, and the situation was as follows-

Western Division - (2) Supersonic VS Suns (0); (2) Lakers VS Trail Blazers (0); (2) Spurs VS Clippers (0); (1) Jazz VS Rockets (1).

Eastern Conference - (2) Bulls VS Heat (0); (2) Magic VS Pistons (0); (1) Pacers vs. Hawks (1); (2) Knicks vs Cavaliers (0).

Zhang Zhu has come to Portland with the team at the moment, the city has been in good law and order before the 90s, but after entering the 90s, affected by the economic downturn and the increase in unemployment, he can always be seen in the top 10 crime rates in the United States.

If you look at it this way, the atmosphere of the Trail Blazers' team is getting worse and worse, which is actually in sync with the overall degeneration of the city.

If Portland is still one of the top 10 cities in North America, how can this team have such a bad reputation? The local fans won't be willing to do it, so it's still a problem of the upper beam being crooked and the lower beam being crooked.

Zhang Wei has always disliked this kind of city with a high crime rate, so he only plans to play a game here and leave, there are still many young ladies waiting for him at home, and Canada's sister Kobayashi will come to Los Angeles to work on May 1st, how can he have the kung fu to ink with the pioneers here!

However, his sense of superiority is a bit inexplicable, and Los Angeles has always been unsafe, especially the notoriously nightlife, which is second to none in the United States and even the world. But Zhang Fu just doesn't look down on other cities with poor security, which is very consistent with the style of Lakers fans, and he plays on this team with a similar smell.

The Lakers were very open-minded in the face of opponents who were easily defeated by them twice.

But as reported by the Los Angeles media, everyone has not yet carried away, and there is some caution and seriousness in their hearts.

This is a guarantee to prevent the water from turning over, and once you get carried away, it is the beginning of the rollover, but it doesn't matter if you are confident.

The game between the two teams was played on the 30th, and this time they were scheduled for the penultimate game of the day, and the Spurs had already finished off the Clippers in the afternoon, without giving the Lakers a little face. The hapless Clippers were also the first team to be swept. Then, just an hour before the Lakers game, the poor Pistons were taken away by the Magic. Grant Hill is afraid that he will send dozens of "pitiful" expressions in his ICQ space now, and he feels sorry for him for a second.

The game between the Pacers and the Hawks was played an hour and a half later than the Lakers, and if Miller hadn't been injured unexpectedly at the end of the regular season, the Hawks would have been down 0-2 now, and it would have been impossible to play so closely with the Pacers.

This also shows that the current NBA team is still in a state of disparity between strength and weakness, although everyone says that NBA teams have no weak teams, and it seems that any game is very suspenseful.

In the regular season, there may be some truth in this, it is not uncommon to put down the Lakers and Spurs in the regular season, and these bigwigs are sometimes embarrassed.

But in the playoffs, if you want to cause an upset, you have to have a little bit of foundation.

The Lakers' first game against the Trail Blazers was a big score abuse, and the second game was still a complete defeat, which really made people see the significant gap between first-class teams and second-rate teams, first-class stars and second-rate stars.

In both games, Zhang and Magic showed that they were different from ordinary stars, and once they started playing at their best, the Trail Blazers, who were in a five-to-five match with the Lakers in the regular season, couldn't resist it, and a bunch of people were scrambling and short-hearted.

Cleverford Robinson, Rod Strickland, Sabonis, all three are All-Stars or quasi-All-Stars, but they play a good game for a while at most, play a normal game, but the situation is a mountain of defeat when it matters most?

This shows that there is a considerable gap in the level of the stars who decide the game, and no matter how wishful the Trail Blazers fans are, their three good players really did not reach the level of the NBA's top stars, which is the real reason for the two defeats.

Before the start of the game, Mr. Reasonable also gave Chinese fans a science popularization on the commentary seat: "This round of the series has been played so far, don't evaluate the level of coaching, the quality of tactics, in fact, I can't see what tactics Zhang Yu played in the last game, he wants to burst out, he wants to shoot far away, it is completely free to play, it is completely personal ability." The old magician also plays freely, this is the style and level of a superstar. And the pioneer's Sanying is much more tender, often the brain is short-circuited, and you can't see the fire, what is the use of the best tactics? ”

The reasonable master did not forget to tout another wave of Zhang Fu, "A lot of people think that the Lakers' bench depth is better than that of the Trail Blazers, and the likes of Finley and Malik were excellent in the last game. In fact, this is just a superficial phenomenon, the bench is not a big problem, and the sixth man of the Trail Blazers, Aaron McKee, will not perform worse than Finley when he arrives with the Lakers. Conversely, if Aaron were to go to the Lakers to replace Cebaros, or Finley to replace Zhang Mao, they would not be so brave. The level of several leading stars can basically determine the level of a team. ”

At 20:30 in the evening, the Los Angeles Lakers played on time against the Portland Trail Blazers, and the game was even five minutes early, which shows that the Trail Blazers are not in the mood for pre-game ceremonies.

After winning their first two games, the Lakers are hoping to make their playoff sweep possible today. You must know that since retiring from Magic, the Lakers have not swept their opponents neatly, but there have been examples of being swept.

Today, Harris changed the lineup again, and the Magic and Cebaroz returned to the starting lineup, which was worried that the young Finley would not be able to adjust well on the road, but not every rookie can be like the Magic of the year, and now Zhang Zhu, who does not regard the playoffs as a difficult copy at all.

As the reasonable master said, the Lakers' tactics are not very sophisticated, and even if they play routines, they are to create opportunities for Zhang or Magic to use their individual abilities, not to let anyone score directly.

At the start of the first quarter, Zhang Chu first hit a back-to-back shot, and then Strickland also made a step-back shot into the basket.

But it has to be said that after the Trail Blazers returned to their home court, the defense was a little tighter.

Although the Lakers play the individual ability of players on the offensive end, they are also very tight on the defensive end.

This also left both sides with not many easy scoring opportunities after scoring a goal in the opening game, and this kind of back-to-back is not always a throw.

Under the tight defense of both sides, until there were more than 6 minutes left in the first quarter, the score was still 8:6, and the Trail Blazers temporarily took the lead.

The Lakers called a timeout in hopes of stepping up their offense.

After the game restarted, Clifford, who had been lucky in the previous game, hit a shot from outside the three-point line, and the Lakers' Van Exel and Sebaroz also scored jumpers respectively, and the stalemate continued on both sides.

The Lakers' attack wave appeared in the last 2 minutes of the first quarter, Zhang Mao's back hit allowed the Lakers to exceed the score, Sabonis made a strong attack under the basket to overtake the score again, Zhang Qi immediately scored a three-pointer, and then assisted Finley to dunk it.

This is again the personal ability of the star, the Trail Blazers can't hold it anymore, Zhang Yu turned his head and broke through again, causing a foul, and hit both free throws.

The Trail Blazers encountered another crisis, but fortunately, Sabonis gave all his strength today, and made two long-range jumpers into the basket in the last minute of the quarter, and finally played the first-class star level for a while, helping the Trail Blazers to tie the score at 22:22 after the first quarter, and the two teams ended the first quarter in a tie.

Zhang Wei scored 11 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist in the first quarter, and half of the Lakers' points were contributed by him.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the two sides exchanged leads in a row, but the Lakers still led the Trail Blazers three minutes later, and the bench advantage was evident at this time, and bench depth was still useful.

Zhang only rested for more than two minutes, and Harris needs him to keep putting pressure on his opponents on the court, and it is best to find an opportunity to take away opponents as soon as possible and sweep the Trail Blazers to give them plenty of rest.

However, it backfired, and the Trail Blazers' sixth man, Aaron McGee, hit two shots, and Clifford hit a rebound, and the score gap was narrowed.

With 7:12 left in the second quarter, Sabonis' 3-pointer put the Trail Blazers back ahead of the Lakers by three points.

This time Zhang Yu couldn't hang his face, and the koala baby, who used ten successes, first assisted Cebaros to hit a mid-range shot, and then he continued to shoot near the free throw line, and after more than two minutes, the two sides tied at 41:41 again.

After that, the situation on the court changed abruptly, and the Trail Blazers became as if they couldn't shoot, and they didn't hit a shot for three minutes, but after Zhang Fu hit a three-point shot, the Magic scored 6 points in a row to make the Trail Blazers team instantly stunned.

The most lethal thing was that with 12 seconds left in the first half, Zhang Mao dribbled the ball from the backcourt to the frontcourt alone, and in the face of the defense of the two players of the Trail Blazers, he still hit a strong three-point shot, which allowed the Lakers to end the first half of the contest between the two sides 54:43.

Master Reasonable said calmly: "There is nothing to say, it is the individual ability of the star that has played a role, Zhang Mao and the Magic's sudden frenzy at the end of the second quarter made the score quickly stretched, if this situation occurs again in the second half, the Trail Blazers will have no chance at all." ”

However, this poisonous milk from Master Reasonable almost made the Lakers overturn on the road.

When the Lakers players were in the halfcourt, they also felt that they were going to punch and kick the Trail Blazers again, and then send the opponent home to fish in a sweeping manner. Once they have this mentality, the problem of being careless finally appears in them, and even Zhang Qi is a little floating.

This mentality also led to another change in the second half, Sabonis hit two consecutive baskets at the start of the third quarter, and the gap was reduced to seven points, and then Buck Williams grabbed two more frontcourt rebounds in a row, but the Lakers did not score for the first time until four minutes later in the quarter, at which point their lead was gone, and this is how Lang ended.

Sabonis even hit another three-pointer midway through the quarter, which also tied the score for the Trail Blazers, and he then hit two free throws to help the Trail Blazers take the lead.

The Lakers players finally panicked at this time, and when there were 3 minutes and 25 seconds left in the third quarter, they were already behind by 4 points, and after the first three quarters, the score was fixed at 75:72, the Lakers only scored 18 points in this quarter, and the Trail Blazers scored 32 points.

The Lakers players finally realized the consequences of the "wave" and no longer dared to underestimate the Trail Blazers.

At the start of the fourth quarter, Sabonis hit a three-pointer, and Zhang returned four free throws to help the team score with a breakthrough that he still couldn't stop.

The Trail Blazers had a problem, and in the third quarter they came back to a frenzied Sabonis, but the Lithuanian had the same problem in the fourth quarter as Yao Ming, who would be in the NBA, - a lack of stamina.

Sabonis had no physical problems when he was younger, but at 32 years old and full of injuries, Sabonis was different.

By the start of the fourth quarter, Sabonis' stamina was close to exhaustion, and that three-point shot was more like a flashback. Next, he missed three consecutive shots, but Zhang Mao burst inside and outside, and could also assist his teammates to score, and the Lakers quickly launched an 8:0 attack wave to overtake the score.

The Trail Blazers reacted, but none of them except Sabonis could really turn the tide at this time.

Strickland couldn't show his "street ball king" in the playoffs, there was no room for him to dribble and break through at will, and only a strong body like Zhang Qian was king in the playoffs.

Clifford is weak defensively, slightly lacking offensively, and his playoff performance has been criticized for what he has been criticized for, so don't expect him to play like Kemp.

The worst thing is that Sabonis's loss of stamina made his role on the defensive end disappear, and Campbell, who had been invisible for two games, suddenly made two flashes and scored five points in a row under Zhang Mao's breakthrough point, and the Lakers really played another attack wave.

The Trail Blazers struggled, and by the time the clock was 2:16, the score was 100-86, and the Lakers once again played a decisive scoring wave in the final quarter.

In the "Rose Garden" stadium, the little time left and the 14-point disadvantage made many fans choose to leave the stadium early, and they could not see the hope of their own team turning the tables. The Trail Blazers struggled to score every point in the final quarter, and once again they fell in the fourth quarter, in the critical moment, on the real first-class stars.
