Chapter Seventy-Nine: A Fog
"Mr. Mars, after you won this game, you have changed the score to 2-0, you only need to win one more game to advance, what do you think about the opponents of this series, the Trail Blazers?" At the press conference after the game, a reporter asked Tony a question. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Harris sat next to Toney, and instead of being as excited as the Lakers players, instead, he had a very serious face.
"Hehe, I'm already thinking about the next round of opponents." Tony replied calmly, but he still couldn't hide the excitement and smugness between his brows.
Oops!
Harris heard Tony say this and secretly felt bad, two big wins in a row, Tony really doesn't take the Trail Blazers in his eyes anymore, and if he goes on like this, he will really suffer.
"A very confident answer." The reporter said with a smile, and then he threw the question to Kobe Bryant, who was next to Tony.
Kobe Bryant's expression looked relaxed, and although his answer to this question was not as arrogant as Tony's, he was also very confident.
"The Trail Blazers are an interesting opponent and they can cause us some problems, but that's about it, and we're confident that we can finish this series in the next game."
......
Game 3 is two days later, when the Lakers are going to Portland to play on the Trail Blazers' home court, and the Lakers' players are so confident that they think the team will definitely be able to advance so easily that they are now looking at how to deal with the Jazz in the semifinals, and although the results are still out, no one will think that the Clippers can beat the Jazz.
And in the course of two days, the other teams in the league also finished the second game one after another.
On April 27th, the same day as the Lakers' second game, the Phoenix Suns, who were upset in the first game, were directly beaten back to their original form in this game.
122:78
The Seattle SuperSonics used a massive 44-point margin to tell the Suns how bad it would be to anger a tiger.
Compared to the cruelty of supersound, Utah Jazz is much gentler.
104:92
They didn't play very ferociously throughout the game, but they didn't give the Clippers a chance to win, and Stockton, as the famous master of the court in history, kept the rhythm firmly in the hands of the Jazz throughout the game.
The black and white twin evils are like boiling frogs in warm water, slowly boiling the Clippers to death.
The two teams in the top three in the West won a crisp victory without much resistance, while the Houston Rockets were met with desperate resistance from the Minnesota Timberwolves, who showed their wolf nature, and they were not willing to let the Rockets advance easily, led by Tom Gugliotta and Dean Gatler, the Timberwolves dragged the game until the last minute.
125:120
The Timberwolves lost by a narrow margin of five points. However, Gugliotta and Garrett scored 27 points and 10 rebounds and 26 points and 15 boards, respectively, and Garrett comprehensively suppressed Olajuwon throughout the game, and he allowed Olajuwon to only score 19 points and 11 boards.
Sadly, the depth of the Rockets' roster is far greater than that of the Timberwolves.
In the East, the Chicago Bulls were not in great shape overall, but Michael Jordan once again played a playoff masterpiece, facing the Washington Bullets' crazy counterattack, he shot 22 of 35 from the field, scored 55 points in a crazy way, and almost single-handedly defeated the Washington Bullets 109-104.
In the game between the Detroit Pistons and the Atlanta Hawks, Grant Hill scored 25 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists to lead the Pistons to defeat the Hawks and bring the overall score to 1:1.
The New York Knicks defeated the Charlotte Hornets again 104-95, and they now have a total score of 2-0, and they only need one more game to advance to the Eastern Conference semifinals, where Alan Houston and Larry Johnson scored 22 and 20 points respectively, and Patrick Ewing played 16 points, 11 rebounds and 5 assists, and the Knicks looked flawless on both ends of the floor.
The final matchup is the Orlando Magic's Miami Heat.
The Magic played a humiliating game in the first game, this one they were humiliated and brave, Shaq O'Neal went on a rampage, he cut down an epic stat of 43 points and 21 boards, and the Magic beat the Heat 117-100 on the road.
April 29, the day before the Lakers' third game.
Several teams have already taken the lead in the third game.
The Houston Rockets defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves 100-91, Olajuwon and Barkley cut 18 points, 10 boards, 5 assists, 4 steals and 4 blocks respectively and 20 points, 15 boards, 5 assists and 1 steal, and the Rockets swept the Timberwolves 3-0 to advance to the Western Conference semifinals.
The Utah Jazz and the Los Angeles Clippers game, the Clippers are on the verge of elimination, in this desperate moment, they made the last dying struggle when they returned to their home court, and even led the Jazz by 14 points in the middle of the game, but the Jazz relied on Karl Malone's 39 points and 11 rebounds against the sky, and finally regained the disadvantage and overtook the score.
105:98
The Clippers still couldn't win this game, and they also announced their exit with a score of 0:3.
The New York Knicks also completed a sweep of the Hornets on the day, with Patrick Ewing scoring 30 points and nine rebounds to beat their opponent 100-93.
Compared with the easy promotion of these giants, the Atlanta Hawks, Miami Heat and Seattle SuperSonics, who are also ranked highly, are in an awkward situation.
In the game between the Detroit Pistons and the Hawks, Pistons' Lynch Hunter exploded, scoring a game-high 26 points to help the Pistons beat the Hawks and win the match point at home to take a 2-1 advantage.
After the Magic returned to the home court, O'Neal once again played perverted statistics, he cut 30 points, 11 rebounds and 4 blocks, and he led the team to defeat the Heat again.
To everyone's surprise, the Suns also upset again, beating the SuperSonics 110-103 at home.
As a result, all three teams are in a desperate situation, and if they lose the next game, then they will also be out of the first round.
However, many fans are happy to hear about this, after all, upsets are not common, and there are so many dark horses that may counterattack this year, especially the Suns, a team with a regular season win rate of less than fifty percent of the team actually forced the third supersonic in the West to such a point in the first round, and for a while, there were many Suns fans in the league.
The talk of eliminating hypersound was also endless for a while.
