When he said it, Kerr's iron rooster plucked his feathers, and on the night of the end of the first game, he really paid for the Lakers players. www.biquge.info However, Chu Xuan didn't cheat Cole much, and according to incomplete statistics, Cole also paid about 100,000 US dollars. This is really not a lot of money, after all, there were more than 30 people who went to spend by the Lakers that night. How many hundred dollars per person on average? It's definitely saving Cole money.

However, even so, Kerr still vomited bitterness with Barkley, Miller and others, and was painful because of the fact that the Lakers killed $100,000. The media was very enthusiastic about the post-game highlights, which kept the series in the spotlight that it had been able to draw. Things outside the arena are laughed at as after-dinner conversations, and the playoffs are in full swing, and the game is naturally the most concerned.

On the night of the first game, the Pistons and 76ers in the East had a head-to-head, and Monroe broke out and scored 36 points to help the Pistons defeat the 76ers and win the first game, making a good start to the series. The next day, two more games were played, with the Cavaliers hosting the Boston Celtics. The Celtics' core had a big explosion in the game, and Stevenson's coaching received a lot of praise, with Rondo diching out 18 assists and Hayward scoring 40 points under excellent tactical execution. Although the Cavaliers' Big Three did not have a particularly eye-catching performance, they scored 20 points at the same time, plus a group of substitutes, the Cavaliers narrowly beat the Celtics by 7 points. In the other game, the Jazz continued to be the dark horse, beating the Rockets at home.

Seriously, the Jazz's performance this year can only be surprising, and it is also surprising that the Jazz can maintain such a strong competitiveness in the face of the mighty Rockets. Although the Rockets lack Anthony, who is still recovering from injury, the overall strength is also the top in the league. And the Jazz can play such a performance, which also makes people indignant and curious, will this team become the biggest dark horse this year? This is the first time the Jazz have made the playoffs in recent years, and if they make their first playoff trip to the Western Conference Finals after a rebuild, it will be the biggest news of the season.

The Jazz team has been talked about a lot, Chu Xuan has also paid some attention to this, and he also wants to be curious, can the Jazz team really overturn the Rockets?

In the second game against the Warriors, the Lakers are still playing at home.

In this game, Chu Xuan made tactical adjustments, allowing players to score more with the help of passing and cutting, and then began to block and dismantle in the second half, so that the Lakers maintained a very good offensive efficiency. However, if you want to win in the playoffs, the most important thing is defense, and after the first game, Chu Xuan has been focusing on defense, and only if the Lakers do a good job of defending the Warriors, the chances of winning will be bigger and bigger. I have to say that the Lakers' ability to adjust is extremely gratifying, in the first half of the lead of only 2 points, in the second half, the Lakers won the Warriors by 11 points and 17 points in a single quarter, and finally won the second game with a 30-point victory, which is also the sixth consecutive win since the start of the playoffs this season.

'We played well in the half, and the second half was like two teams, and that led to us losing. Kerr looked a little frustrated, down 0-2, the Warriors have fallen into a very big crisis, and if they lose again, then they are obviously in danger of being eliminated.

"The most important thing is to defend, it depends on who defends the opponent better." Kerr on the reason for the loss: "The Lakers found a way to defend in the second half, so they played a wave and took us away. However, the series is not over and we still have a chance. They won their home stadium and when we get back to Oracle Arena we have to get our home advantage. It's a bit passive at the moment, but we have to be optimistic and emotional. ”

0:2 behind, the Warriors' situation is indeed not particularly good, but as Kerr said, the Lakers got its 2 home court advantages, and next, the Warriors must give full play to their 2 home court advantages, otherwise, the Warriors are really passive.

Kobe Bryant contributed 7 points, 11 rebounds and 9 assists in this game, and his performance could not be said to be particularly good, but his all-round performance and selfless on-court cooperation attitude helped the Lakers win. Towns was activated by Kobe Bryant in this game, and he cut a big double-double of 18 points and 18 boards, becoming the biggest contributor to the Lakers' victory. On the outside, LaVine scored 33 points in a single game and was the only player to break 30 points in the game.

The Lakers' defeat of the Warriors became the biggest news of the day, and the media began to discuss the possibility of the Lakers making the cut, and in the end, many people felt that the Lakers had at least an 80% chance of advancing to the Western Conference Finals. If they win the next game, then the Lakers will definitely reach the Western Conference Finals very safely this season. Considering that the Rockets and Jazz are not much of a threat to the Lakers, that is to say, if the Lakers defeat the Warriors, it is not surprising that they will reach the Finals for three consecutive years and hit the three consecutive championships in the post-Kobe era!

In the following two days, the second battle of the other three groups of duels also had results.

The Jazz defeated the Rockets 106-103 and led 2-0.

In the East, the Pistons defeated the 76ers again in one blow, also leading 2-0. Considering the strength of the Pistons' interior and bench, after this game, most people already think that the Pistons will reach the Eastern Conference Finals again.

Another group matchup in the East, the Cavaliers played the Celtics at home, and in this game, the Celtics scored 7 double-doubles, defeating the Cavaliers 108-100 incredibly, bringing the big score to 1:1, making the Cavaliers and Celtics this round of the series also full of suspense.
