The Lakers killed Kemp at home with two clever outside players, and George Karl quickly figured out why, and he could guess that the Lakers would do it in the next game. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Kemp also has the mobility of an outside player, but he is still a lot worse than Zhang Mao's footwork. Compared with the Magic's technology, I don't know where to be thrown at, and the two of them crush Camp in the ball quotient, and then let the "Rain Man" forcibly defend the Lakers' two pseudo-interior lines, it is estimated that it will still be a tragedy.

George Karl simply didn't let Kemp spend too much effort on defense this time, and in this game he asked the disciple to just do his best on the defensive end, and never risk blocking, even if the Lakers players scored some points, as long as he can stay on the court for a long time, it will be a choice that will do more than harm for the SuperSonics. If nothing else, Kemp's role on the offensive end alone can make up for most of these lost points, not to mention that even if he doesn't do his best to block, he can still cause a lot of trouble for the Lakers' offense.

Now that Kemp has gotten the hang of it, it won't be too easy to get into foul trouble like in previous years, and the fifth game is in Seattle, on their own home court, and as long as they pay attention, it's not so easy to fall into foul trouble again.

SuperSonics starters: Payton, Hawkins, Schramf, Kemp, Perkins.

Lakers starters: Van Exel, Cebaros, Finley, Zhang, Magic.

The SuperSonics have also made adjustments to the starting lineup at home, while the Lakers don't need to make any further adjustments, they just need to wait for the SuperSonics to pick up.

The only thing embarrassing for the Lakers now is that the SuperSonics only need one more punch to knock the Lakers out, and they can accomplish this small goal with three fights.

The Lakers got off to a good start today, hitting six of their first eight shots, with Finley scoring nine of the first 13 points and the Lakers getting off to a 13-6 start.

The SuperSonics immediately called a timeout, and the Lakers got off to a very good start, with the players in high spirits on the road, and Zhang Fu kept praising the younger brother who was older than himself by Finley's side after the timeout, obviously very satisfied with his performance, which also bodes well for the Lakers.

But after the game restarted, the consistent supersonic speed was the dominant one on the field, showing the ability of a mature team to withstand pressure and adjust quickly.

Payton sent two assists in a row, and the equally stable Schramf and Hawkins hit shots one after another, and then Payton himself took charge of it, scoring four points in a row, and the SuperSonics quickly launched an 8-0 attack wave to overtake the score at 14-13.

The Lakers now have enough knowledge of the supersonics, and their opponents mainly use two engines on the offensive end to launch offense, supplemented by the combination of Hawkins, Schramf, and Perkins, who can effectively involve the defense and act as a battery for Payton and Kemp.

The combination of supersonic 2+3 is very scientific, with both impact and stability, and the dual core is enough to ensure that even if the opponent prevents one of them, the other can bring three experienced veterans to defeat the opponent.

The Bulls are actually such a combination, the most scientific team building plan in this era is dual-core + three or four high-quality role players, including the Lakers, which is also a similar structure, but the Magic is too old, otherwise the boss of the West will not be the turn of the supersonic.

In the first two years, the supersonic speed has not been able to play, mainly because Kemp and Payton are not mature enough, and the defects of the two engines make this team always lack scoring explosiveness, just like the aero engine problem that has plagued China for many years. But this year, both men have entered the peak of their respective careers, making significant progress on the offensive end, and the supersonic speed has naturally exploded, and they have officially taken off.

The Lakers' ability to resist pressure is not bad, but the control of details in the stalemate is not as good as the supersonic fire, especially in the away game is not easy to get free throws, after Kemp shrugged up again, they returned to the state of the first three games, both offensive and defensive are a little worse, and the score is being pulled away point by point.

In the last two minutes of the first quarter, the SuperSonics used their tacit team cooperation to shoot in the last second of this offense, and Hawkins' whistle shot gave the SuperSonics a 24-20 lead.

Zhang Wei had an indescribable grievance in his heart, when he was about to defend himself, he was scored by someone at the last second, which was the most demoralizing situation, and the mentality of the Lakers players collapsed a little.

In the next round, the Lakers were almost defended by the supersonic for 24 seconds, but fortunately they also threw the ball in the last second, but the chances created were not as good as the supersonics, and Campbell's mid-range shot was deflected.

This is embarrassing, almost the same process, but the result is completely different, the Lakers players only feel more hurt, and their mentality is even more powerful!

At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers trailed 22-27.

It's not a big difference, but the Lakers' scoring ability in key rounds is significantly inferior to the SuperSonics, and in the absence of an outburst on either side, this slight inferiority is a slow death.

After George Carr's pause, the repeated emphasis was on "focus"!

If neither side can score explosive points, then the supersonic will definitely have the last laugh.

But the most feared thing is that the supersonic players are careless after taking the lead, George Carr feels that in terms of scoring explosiveness, the Lakers are actually a little stronger than them, and those guys have been improving, which is what worries him the most, so the superSonics must always maintain absolute "focus" before the end of the game, and cannot give the Lakers a chance to play offensive.

The current supersonic can get a total score of 3:1, relying on stable defense and rich experience.

The Lakers were paying tuition in their first three games, but they're like Saiyans who make them stronger after every loss.

The SuperSonics' experience advantage is running out, and if they can't take out the Lakers in one go today and win another game, George Karl feels they have a good chance of becoming the first team in history to be eliminated after a 3-0 lead.

If the Lakers win two games in a row after 0:3, the morale will be improved beyond imagination, and they can be used to rise to the same level as them, and considering the huge pressure on the SuperSonics at that time, I am afraid they will really overturn.

So, Game 5 was a watershed moment in the series, and if the Lakers pulled it back one more time, the whole situation would be completely reversed.

George Carr hasn't watched Dragon Ball, but he can also feel the importance of this match.

The Lakers, who finally won one game after losing in a row, are at a critical point, and if they go further, they will really have the strength to compete with the superSonics, after all, Van Exel and Cebaros are also quasi-All-Star players, and the overall strength of the Lakers is only a little worse than the superSonics, and the losing streak is just a lack of experience in high-intensity games.

Shortly after the start of the second quarter, supersonics, without the slightest carelessness, extended the advantage to 8 points.

The Lakers' defense today is much better than the previous three games, and they defended the supersonic speed to the last few seconds several times in the first quarter, but they were always shot by the opponent at the last moment, a bit like the national football team in this period, and the kick at the door is always a breath away.

Zhang Wei said that he was much better than the national football team, and after the pause, he continued to break through and score, and he used his personal ability to narrow the score difference again.

Camp was a little embarrassed, in the face of Zhang Mao's breakthrough, he remembered the coach's instructions, even if he couldn't prevent it, he couldn't foul, he must stay on the field, so he always didn't dare to do his best to block when defending Zhang Qiu.

Both of them have athletic talent beyond their time, but one is the No. 3 position, the other is the pure No. 4 position, there is a gap in speed and agility, if they don't dare to do their best to defend, there is nothing Camp can do to break through Zhang Mao.

Van Exel then hit a three-pointer and the Lakers responded with a 9-0 spurt to tie the score by one point at 8:33 of the second quarter.

But the Lakers players, who took the SuperSonics out of the timeout, did not expect that it would be their last lead of the game, after which the SuperSonics' defense caused them to do nothing.

After the game restarted, the SuperSonics compressed the defense, leaving only Payton to defend Van Exel, and the rest of the team retreated to the middle to defend.

George Carr instructed that unless the Lakers players run to the perimeter on their own, they would rather miss some long-range shooting opportunities for the Lakers, and concentrate on using the numerical advantage in the middle and close range to help Camp complete the defense against Zhang and the Magic.

Now the time came to test the Lakers' long-range shots, but the huge boos inside the key arena worked, and for the next four minutes, the Lakers couldn't shoot a single shot from 18 feet out.

The SuperSonics took the opportunity to launch a 15-5 attack wave, and with 2:06 left in the first half, they managed to pull away the score at 52:41.

Kemp scored eight points on this wave of attacks, and Zhang only helped the Lakers hit a 3-pointer before the end of the first half, and the Lakers could only chase the score to 44-56.

Zhang Ji once again had 17 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists in the first half, but it could not play a decisive role in the overall situation, because in addition to that four-minute scoring drought, they also let the SuperSonics shoot too many whistle shots.

Harris's stats clearly remember that the Lakers allowed the SuperSonics to shoot a total of 8 shots in the last 3 seconds of the offensive round in the first half, even if these 8 shots were two-point shots, that would be a loss of 16 points. If the Lakers can defend half of them, the difference between the two teams will not reach double digits.

But there is no way, the bull is also the positive result of the cultivation after a lot of tempering, even if it is a talented player, you have to know how to correct some mistakes after you make them, some experiences you have to learn after being taught a lesson, and some choices have to go through failure to know the correct answer.

Why are these old players stable with the superSonics? Why do you get more wages than Van Exel's and others?

That's because they've had those failures, and they've gained countless valuable lessons from countless mistakes, lessons, and choices, and those lessons can be used once in a crucial round of a crucial match, and maybe a win or a loss.

But on the flip side, these young players of the Lakers may have played well in every game, but it only takes one serious mistake at a critical moment to bury the entire game.

That's how the Lakers collapsed today, and although the Magic hit a 2-point shot after the opening of the second half, the Lakers still couldn't make the right choice when it came to defense and offense. Maybe these choices are correct, but as long as they are not as perfect as the opponent, the result is that they are always a little worse than the opponent as they are today, and it will be more than just a little bit over time.

The advantage of supersonic speed is adding up, which means that the difference is widening little by little.

If the Lakers want to chase points, they will inevitably choose some risks, but the result of the risks is often to lose more, just like the psychology of gamblers in the casino.

Soon, with the cheers and shouts of the home fans, the SuperSonics completely suppressed the Lakers in morale, and the offensive end blossomed more points, successfully playing a wave of 7:0 attacks, and when Payton broke through Van Exel to score 2 points, they extended their advantage to 17 points.

The Lakers had to make a final resistance, and Zhang Fu scored two consecutive offensive shots, and one of his consecutive dunks changed hands from two people finally helped the Lakers close the gap to 12 points with 2:18 left in the third quarter.

However, this brilliant goal failed to dampen the morale of the superSonics, and instead stimulated the opponent to complete a more aggressive defence.

The Lakers missed all four shots in the last two minutes of the third quarter and did not score a point for a long time, but the SuperSonics scored six points in a row to lead by 18 points at 87:69 at the end of the third quarter.

Everyone knows that the Lakers' deadline is approaching......

The home fans in Seattle also saw the victory coming, and today they are likely to return to the Finals stage for the first time in 18 years.

In the final quarter, Seattle fans all stood to watch the SuperSonics' final game in the Western Conference Finals.

Zhang Qi and Magic did not go to rest, and the Lakers used almost all the starting lineup to fight to the death!

But in the midst of the frantic shouts of the fans, Payton hit a 2-pointer at the beginning, and then Kemp grabbed an offensive rebound and scored a layup.

The shot hit the Lakers' players badly, and after Perkins also hit a 2-pointer from the Magic's head, the SuperSonics started the quarter 6-2 and led 93-71 with 10:30 left in the game.

With 22 points trailing in the final quarter, the Lakers were already desperate, and Zhang Mao couldn't do anything about it.

The SuperSonics were getting more and more relaxed, and Kemp even completed an unbalanced pull-up layup in the middle of Zhang and Magic's sandwich.

Obviously, no one will be able to stop this monster.

The Lakers had to keep shooting three-pointers in desperation, but it was too late, and the SuperSonics extended their advantage to 26 points at one point, and now no one can stop them from reaching the Finals again after 18 years.

When the final whistle sounded, Zhang Mao, who had been on the field, could only narrow the difference to within 20 points when the victory and defeat had been scored.

The SuperSonics didn't try to create a massacre, but they were afraid that the defeated Lakers would break it at the last minute, and if they hurt one of their main forces, it would be too late to regret it.

Therefore, Kemp and Payton were substituted in the last five minutes, and the final score was 100:115, which at least left a little face for the Lakers.

Zhang Qi scored 18 points in the last quarter, and the supersonic players quickly replaced all their main forces after the Magic and others left the court, and they no longer defended desperately, almost letting Zhang Qi score on the court, and the result was that Zhang Fu brushed up a data of 44 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists.

Well, although Zhang Wei himself said that personal data has no value when losing. But years later, when people come back to the past, they will only remember that Zhang led the team to the division finals in his rookie season, and won 3 40+ times in 5 games in this series.

The final conclusion must be: the koala baby can go so far with four wastes, it is really powerful and domineering......

Of course, Zhang Mao would definitely not say that, but he took the initiative to excuse his teammates after the game, not at all like a normal 19-year-old kid who would cry bitterly because he was eliminated.

"We still lost in the end, but I don't think it's a very frustrating result. Think about our original goal, and look at the mission we changed three times, we set ourselves too high a standard for success, and even we felt that if we didn't reach our goal, if we didn't win the championship, we would be a failure. But I don't think so, who would have thought a year ago that we could make the playoffs? Who would have thought six months ago that we would make it to the divisional finals? ”

Zhang Yu is not only excusing his teammates, but also comforting himself, although no one will criticize him for being eliminated, because he did do well enough.

His real challenge is the next season.

Don't look at the Lakers fans and the media can understand their loss this season, but it's easy to go up and hard to come down, Zhang Zhu drew his starting line so high in the first year, if he can't win more than 62 wins next season, if he can't reach the finals, it will be tantamount to standing still, and then Lakers fans will not be as reasonable as they are now, and the media will not be so polite.
