On May 12, 2003, in the Eastern Conference semifinals, the Nets and Knicks both advanced, meeting in the division finals for two consecutive years.

The Pistons, like the Pacers, had a rout in G4.

At 82:102, the Nets, who returned to their home court, did not waste the opportunity and swept the opponent with a big score of 4:0, ending the series early!

Billups continued his previous performance, shooting 1-of-8 from the field with 6 points, 6 assists, 1 steal, 1 block and 1 turnover.

Kidd was in control of the game, shooting 10-of-21, 1-of-5 from beyond the three-point line, 5-of-5 from the free-throw line, and finished with 26 points, 12 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals and 6 turnovers.

Obviously, most of the Eastern Conference linebackers are no match for Kidd, and after Iverson, Billups is also cool.

When attending a press conference after the game, he led the team to the Eastern Conference Finals again, and Kidd also pretended to be an X:

"We're ready for a long time, and as I promised, I'm going to lead the Nets to the conference finals again."

"Lee and the Knicks have always been my biggest rivals, and we've been preparing for this moment all season!"

"I know how good I am, I'm the best point guard in the league, and as for Lee, he's a two-way guard, it's not in comparison, and there's a big difference in our style of play."

Kidd's boasting of being the best point guard in the league has not been refuted by sports reporters.

If the Eastern Conference didn't have Lee You, maybe he would have really led that former fish belly team to the Finals.

It's unfortunate to meet Kidd with Woo Lee, but if he continues to stay in the Western Conference, he may not even be able to touch the floor of the division finals.

Unless Kidd can lower his value and actively choose to join the Lakers, Spurs, and Timberwolves to play "brother basketball".

Otherwise, with the Suns' current configuration, it will definitely not be an easy task to reach the Western Conference Finals.

Kidd boasted and showed confidence, and in the other game of the night, 112-91, the Knicks continued to win by a wide margin, sweeping the Pacers 4-0.

In this series, Reggie Miller, who is not in good health, played an average of 29.5 minutes per game;

He averaged 10.0 points, 3.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.8 turnovers per game while shooting 27.7% from the field, 16.0% from three-point range and 91.3% from the free throw line.

Grant Hill and the veteran were the same as above, without saving a little face for each other, plus the Knicks outside players took turns to take care of them, and Miller Sr. pulled 4 games.

At the press conference after the game, Lee You and Grant Hill just talked about the scene.

There is no need to discuss this series at all, all four games have been won by a big score, and the two teams are not on the same level at all.

Reggie Miller and Jalen Rose, who attended the press conference, were also not embarrassed by sports reporters.

Losing a game by less than 10 points proves that the two sides still have something to play, and losing like this in the semifinals will not come as a surprise to everyone when the Pacers announce a rebuild in the offseason.

Finally, TNT's reporter asked the most important question from everyone in the audience:

"Reggie, will the fans still see you on the pitch next season? Do you have any plans to retire? ”

Wearing a dark gray suit, Reggie Miller's face was a little ugly after the loss, and he immediately replied after hearing this question:

"I don't want to retire, I'm going to keep chasing championships, and I'm not going to leave the Pacers."

"I'm not going to choose to join an opponent for a ring, and I don't need any players' sympathy."

"If you can beat me, then come! Just like Hill did in this round series. ”

"I've lost to the Knicks a lot of times, Lee has a chance to be the best player of all time, I've been through the Miles and Lee eras, and I've enjoyed my career playing against them."

When any player reaches the age of 38, his physical condition will begin to decline, and the reporter accompanying the Pacers looked at the core of the stubborn statement, and felt a little sour in his heart:

"Maybe we won't win a championship for a couple of years."

The Eastern Conference Finals will begin on May 18, with both teams getting more than a week to recuperate.

The benefits of the Nets and Knicks playing the division finals are obvious, and in the next half month, both sides will not have to fly, and playing away from home will be like "going home".

And for Lee You, he really likes to play the playoffs with the Nets.

During the Eastern Conference Finals, he can stay in Manhattan until the end of May, and even in early June, after the Finals, the Knicks can continue to wait for their opponents in Manhattan with their record advantage.

This kind of benefit on the schedule not only made Li You smile, but everyone was happy on the return plane.

Playing on a plane is not as comfortable as playing at home.

D'Antoni has recently felt like he's going to heaven, and he may win a championship in his first season in charge of the Knicks.

The coaching staff also drank a little wine on the plane at this time, and the team had a two-day holiday, and they still had a big advantage in the lineup against the Nets.

Perhaps because he drank too much whiskey, assistant coach Crawford touched his bald head and suddenly sighed in a low voice:

"It's definitely good to coach the Knicks, and when Jeff is in Cleveland, he can't enjoy life in New York."

Another assistant coach, Andy Greer, understands the bald young coach a little, but he is not optimistic about the success of the opponent in Cleveland:

"After two days of the lottery ceremony, the Cavaliers will definitely get the first pick."

"It was said that Cleveland would prepare a grand welcome ceremony for him, welcoming him and the gifted high school student."

"The savior of Cleveland Sports, even if he can't win a championship, Jeff in New York will never get that treatment."

Greg, the Knicks' chief trainer, pursed his lips when he heard the words of the two, and then whispered:

"Do you think coaches should enjoy the same exposure as star players? Forget it, in modern basketball, there's only one big man like Pat Riley. ”

"Jeff has too many extravagant expectations, and the market is also a big factor, which player would like to play in Cleveland?"

"Michael, if you were to achieve the same in the future, would you choose to leave New York?"

D'Antoni, who was also drinking a little wine, had already thrown his coat aside, unbuttoned his shirt by two, and replied casually when he heard the question:

"Leaving New York, did Lee retire? When he retires, I will no longer coach, and I will leave here by then. ”

"Manhattan is too lively for an older person like me."

The three of them were speechless when they heard it, it will take at least 10 years for Li You to retire, and D'Antoni will indeed be an old man by then, and several people realized that this person is going to hold his thigh and not let go!

On the night of the 13th, the two Western Conference semifinals, the team that returned to its home court won again.

93:112, the Mavericks win the battle of Tianwang Mountain!

Chris Webber has suffered an injury, and the Mavericks' Nowitzki and Finley have also been average.

Fortunately, Nash ushered in a burst, 5-of-12 from the field, 15-of-16 from the free-throw line, and scored a game-high 25 points!

Winning this game also gives the Mavericks a good chance of reaching the division finals.

The Lakers and Spurs played a stalemate until the final quarter.

The Lakers dug too much in the first half, losing by 18 points at 38:56, rebounding strongly in the second half, and finally losing helplessly.

3.6 seconds before the end, Robert Horry hit an iron outside the three-point line, and finally, 94:96, the Spurs once again protected the home court, and the series score came to 3:2!

Bryant played the whole game, 15-of-31, 5-of-11 from beyond the three-point line, 1-of-2 from the free throw line, and got 36 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals and 4 turnovers.

O'Neal was 8-of-14 from the field and 4-of-7 from the free-throw line to finish with 20 points, 12 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 blocks and 5 turnovers.

Popovich was ecstatic to win this game and praised his thigh again after the game:

"We played a perfect game in the first half, and although there were some problems on the defensive end in the second half, Thiem's assist and David's jumper gave us the win!"

"G6 away, we will give it our all!"

In the key game, Popovich naturally beat Duncan again, playing 45 minutes, 11-of-22, 5-of-8 free throws, and getting a big double-double of 27 points, 14 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal, 1 block and 2 turnovers.

Tony Parker was also very good, scoring 21 points on 8-of-16 shooting, while Ginobili also had 12 points on his account.

In contrast, the Lakers' perimeter Bonb hit 6-of-22 shooting, and apart from Bryant, only Bryan Shaw hit a three-pointer.

This situation is simply a copy of the Knicks in last year's Finals, the outside line is dead and alive, and the opposite side is more blooming.

After losing the game in such a situation, Co did not explain the reason for his crazy shot, but only expressed his opinion to the sports media:

"I've given it my all and now I just want to focus on the next game!"

“.”

On May 14, the NBA league announced the best defensive team of the season:

The first team of 5 people are:

Woo Lee, Doug Christie, Ron Artest, Tim Duncan, Ben Wallace;

The second team of 5 people are:

Jason Kidd, Kobe Bryant, Bruce Bowen, Kevin Garnett, Shaquille O'Neal.

Christie, who didn't make it to the defensive lineup last year, seems to be compensated, and the coaches are likely to take a look at the defensive efficiency value when they vote.

After the list was announced, some people were naturally dissatisfied, and Garnett, who fell in the first round, expressed doubts through media reporters:

"I'm the best frontcourt defender in the league, I don't know what's going on now? The data doesn't mean anything at all! ”

"If you just look at the stats, why did Kobe Bryant and O'Neal make the defensive second team?"

"In terms of defensive efficiency, the two of them are not even in the top 50? Was it just because they got lucky to win a championship last year? ”

"I don't understand that, my defensive impact is better than Ron Artest! I should be in the defensive line! ”

Kevin Garnett, who made a statement to the media, seemed very excited, offended several people as soon as he opened his mouth, and the tough guy who was counterattacked in the first round seemed to break the defense

When the list was announced in the morning, Yahoo Sports reported Garnett's complaints, and then the New York media also began to arch the fire, and Artest, who entered the defensive line, also began to mock his opponent in an interview:

"Check my stats, look at my games, see who I'm playing against every night!"

"You don't know anything about me, go and look at the stats of the players who are playing against me, the numbers don't lie!"

"I'm not like a thief with the Lakers who will only use fame to get votes, nor will I be like that Timberwolves softie, who only shouts and loses the first round."

“.”

The list of the best defensive team seems to be a fuse, and the boring New York media has recently taken the opportunity to explode and prepare for a few big jobs in the next half month!

In the evening, Lee was resting at his home on 82nd Street in Manhattan and chatted with his agent, Mark Battlestein, about hooking contracts.

Ever since Kwame Brown was in the water with the Wizards, Mark Battlestein has also had some bad times.

Even if Mai Buckle retires, there is a high probability of leaving the Wizards in the future, and this budding newcomer still plans to leave the team!

It may be that there is too much time to tear up with the Wizards management, and Mark Battlestein has not gained much recently, and this time the LeBron James battle was lost to the well-known agent Aaron Goodwin.

Mark Battlestein, who was drinking black tea in the study, was a little haggard, his hair was significantly reduced, and his eyes were bloodshot, and he missed several potential rookies in the class of 03, which really made him lose a lot:

"The hook will definitely promise you a personal brand and will also hand out a lifetime contract."

"Your influence in China is more exaggerated than they think, and they won't miss out on this huge market."

"As for the sales dividend, the other party will definitely put forward harsh conditions, and in fact, because Michael Jordan has interfered with the operation of the hook, the other party also intends to reclaim the shares in his hands."

"The exchange of recycled shares for sales dividends seems to have been discussed internally."

"The only thing worth discussing at the moment is the dividend ratio, which is difficult for us to agree on in a short period of time, and we still need legal services!"

"After you retire, in order to prevent the other party from turning the other party and denying it, we have to protect our rights and interests when we sign the contract."

Li You secretly took a cool breath, and under the wide desk, Scarlett slowly accelerated the pace with a smile.

After controlling his expression, Li You then gossiped and asked:

"I almost forgot that Mai Buckle still has a stake in his hand, and according to his character, he really wants to go further into management and get more say."

"The dividend ratio is really a problem, and my age is both an advantage and a disadvantage, after all, they will bite the uncertainty of the future."

There are a lot of American knives involved in this question, and the two sides will definitely have to tear themselves up internally at that time, and Mark Battlestein suggests:

"There is another option, after the execution of the next two years of the contract, we will formally negotiate the issue of dividend ratio."

"This year, there will be a trip to China, or in other words, there will be activities every year in the future, and they also want to see the effect, which can also ease the current skirmish."

"It's a good time, as long as you win the championship this year, you can further increase your influence, and no one will give up the opportunity to win."

Li You nodded, and by the way, he reached out and twisted Scarlett, which was still speeding up Scarlett, but this chick became even worse.

Mark Battlestein seemed to think of the recent hot news again, and sighed in a low voice:

"That high school student from Akron is terrifyingly popular!"

"It is said that after the Cavaliers' reporter Chris Dennis broke the news that James was open to leaving his hometown to join other teams, the agent Goodwin's phone was blown up."

"It's a cliché play, to join a team in my hometown and change Cleveland Sports on your own, it's the perfect script!"

"David Stern is most likely ready for the rookie, and it won't be a few years before the league will promote him and challenge you."

Li You has not paid attention to this news, but he knows that the major sports media began to build momentum after the McDonald's All-Star Game:

"Challenge? There won't be anyone in the Eastern Conference who will be a match for the Knicks in the future. ”

"On the contrary, the Pistons are lucky this year, the Grizzlies' 2003 first-round protection pick, they will definitely get this sign, after all, the first pick will definitely be the Cavaliers."

Mark Battlestein chuckled when he heard it, and Jerry West of the Grizzlies must have been depressed, and the pick was almost for nothing.

The two chatted about the general arrangement for June again, and finally Mark Battlestein waved his hand, still a little depressed and said:

"I've got to get back to Chicago early and see if I can sign some potential rookies, this is my last chance!"

Looking at the agent who got up to leave, Li You could only send his blessings:

"Good luck, Mark! Say hello to my family on my behalf! ”

When there were only two people left in the study, Li You quickly took another breath of cool air, and the girl's breathing became heavy, and soon both of them snorted.

Scarlett had just stood up from under the table when Christen-Rit arrived at the study with two snacks.

The girl's face was slightly red, she swallowed directly, and then pretended to be fine, and said in a somewhat hoarse voice:

"I was going to get some cookies, Alyce, what would you like to drink?"

The little attendant was wearing home clothes, combing a ponytail, and put on light makeup quite schemingly, but at this time he showed a confused expression:

"Lemonade is good, my appetite hasn't been very good lately, I wouldn't have gone to Italy with you if I knew it!"

Scarlett smiled and glanced at Li You, then twisted her waist and walked out of the study, and Christen-Litte handed Li You a cookie like a treasure:

"Clay, try my craft, I've improved the recipe, it's not so sweet!"

The little follower said in a greasy voice, and then suddenly wrinkled his nose, revealing a suspicious gaze, Li You ate the cookies in his hand in one bite:

"Delicious, Alyce! Where do you want to go at night? ”

Kristen Ritter was distracted when she heard the question, and then quickly leaned into her ear and began to coquettish.

It was rare that they were able to stay in Manhattan for the rest of the race, and the trio celebrated in the evening.

The bedroom was dimly lit, and Christen Little, who had just experienced a fierce confrontation, went limp.

On the other side, Scarlett sneaked out of the big bed, took out the handheld camera prepared by the other party, held it in her hand after turning it on, and then chuckled.

Before the little follower could react, the slippery girl held the camera and hugged Li You from behind, breathing rapidly, and laughed in a somewhat hoarse voice:

"Alyce, you're so beautiful tonight! I must record this wonderful moment! ”

The laughter and slapstick filled the bedroom, Li You turned his head and kissed the girl, pulled the other party in front of him, took the camera and went straight in:

"You're always going to be able to play something new!"

On May 15, the Western Conference semifinals attracted a large number of fans.

Despite falling behind by a big score, the fans in Los Angeles were obsessed with confidence and firmly believed that returning to the home court "OK" combination would blow up the opponent!

In the first half, players on both sides performed very well, and Duncan broke out completely, 9 of 11, and cut 19 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 turnovers in the half;

Parker also had 13 points on the account, and the Spurs had another multi-point finish.

Facing David Robinson's top defense, O'Neal was 9-of-14 in the half, 3-of-5 from the free-throw line, and scored 21 points!

Bryant was extremely efficient, shooting 6-of-7 from the field and 1-of-1 from beyond the three-point line to score 13 points.

At 54:50, although the score was behind, the OK combination performed strongly, and in the Staples Arena, the fans in Los Angeles were also in high spirits, and everyone firmly believed that the Lakers would win the game!

In the third quarter, Duncan was 5-of-11 and 4-of-6 from the free-throw line, going all out to score 14 points, 5 rebounds and 1 block.

Under the leadership of this core player, the Spurs extended their lead at 24:19 in the first quarter.

In the fourth quarter of the game, something happened that was difficult for Lakers fans to accept, and Kobe, who was efficient in slashing points, began to bang the iron.

The Lakers role players couldn't respond with a pass from the outside, and O'Neal struggled to catch the ball and watched the Spurs keep playing transition offense.

In the final quarter of the game, Kobe Bryant was 1 of 7 in a single quarter, scoring 2 points and 1 turnover, and O'Neal was 2 of 4, contributing 5 points and 2 rebounds.

In the end, the Spurs played a wave of offense, 32-13 in the single quarter.

At the end of the game, 110:82, the big score of 4:2 successfully eliminated the defending champion and reached the Western Conference finals again!

In this extremely crucial game, playing 42 minutes, 16-of-25 and 5-of-7 free throws, Tim Duncan exploded with 37 points, 16 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 blocks and 3 turnovers.

Parker was 9-of-19 from the field, 2-of-4 from beyond the three-point line, and 7-of-10 from the free-throw line to finish with 27 points, 1 rebound, 5 assists, 2 steals and 3 turnovers.

In addition, Ginobili, who came off the bench, also contributed 12 points, and the role players who appeared on the court all scored, and the Spurs made 10 turnovers in the whole game, playing a perfect game!

Staples Arena was still noisy after the game, and the fans in Los Angeles broke the defense, and there was no dynasty left!

Watching the Spurs celebrate wildly, Popovich raised his arms and shouted, and Phil Jackson on the sidelines was so angry that he didn't want to speak.

O'Neal and Kobe Bryant did their best, but the Spurs performed too bravely, and they really couldn't stand it with outside projection.

13-of-21, 5-of-10 free throws, 31 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, 3 blocks and 1 turnover, O'Neal turned around and walked away after the game after playing 38 minutes.

Bryant sat on the bench with his hands over his face, 9-of-19, 2-of-5 from beyond the three-point line, 0-of-2 from the free throw line, and finished with 20 points, 2 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal and 7 turnovers.

The fourth-quarter performance ruined the Lakers' hopes of a comeback, and Bryant couldn't accept the result and sat on the bench for a long time reluctant to get up.

After winning the series, Duncan, who was present at the press conference, also assured the San Antonio fans:

"We're going to win the championship this season and it's a gift to the fans!"

"David will lift the O'Brien Cup before he retires, he's given everything for the Spurs, and we're going to help him make that dream come true!"

David Robinson's eyes lit up as he heard this, and he was very satisfied that everyone on the Spurs team had been united this season, and that he was able to enjoy such a process as he retired:

"I take Tim's word for it, we're ready!"

On the other side, O'Neal and Kobe, who attended the press conference, had a big face throughout the whole process, and there was no communication between the two.

When asked about his performance in the fourth quarter, Bryant glared at the ESPN reporter and said calmly:

"I had a good shooting touch in the first half, and in the fourth quarter, I just couldn't shoot."

"I have no problem shooting, I always believe that I can hit the basket next time!"

O'Neal was obviously dissatisfied with Kobe's offensive options, and he didn't forget to answer the question:

"I've done my best, I can still dominate the basket, maybe there's a problem with the team's tactics, I'll have a good talk with Phil in the offseason!"

When the two left, they didn't look at each other, and each pulled a big face and walked away quickly.

The defending champions are out, and the happiest will naturally be the media in New York, and from this moment on, they can laugh at their opponents to their heart's content!

In the other Western Conference semifinals, 109-115, the Mavericks failed to take advantage of the opportunity, and the two sides will have a tie-break.

On May 16, the NBA league announced the best team of the season:

The first team of 5 people are:

Woo Lee, Tracy McGrady, Kevin Garnett, Tim Duncan, Shaquille O'Neal;

The second team of 5 people are:

Jason Kidd, Kobe Bryant, Dirk Nowitzki, Chris Webb, Ben Wallace.

The five members of the third squad are:

Steve Nash, Grant Hill, Paul Pearce, Jermaine O'Neal, Pau Gasol.

The Knicks were named to the All-Star team and became the biggest winners!

The All-NBA announcement also failed to steal the Lakers' hot news, and commentators were talking about the defending champions' loss in the Western Conference semifinals.

In TNT's program, the trio did not let go of this topic, after all, the Eastern Conference is no longer alive, and if you really want to increase the ratings, you have to point to the Lakers.

"We shouldn't blame Kobe, he did a great job in this series! The Lakers have a big problem with their role players. ”

Kenny Smith still plays the role of the good old guy and has not followed the trend to criticize Kobe's performance.

On the other hand, Charles Barkley, who opened the technical statistics, said unceremoniously:

"So who's responsible for the Lakers' loss, Phil Jackson? Or Shaquille O'Neal? ”

"You can't blame the role players for losing, they don't pay that much!"

"Bryant did well, averaging 32.3 points per game while shooting 43.4 percent from the field, 44.1 percent from three-point range, and 78.8 percent from the free throw line."

"He had a high usage rate in this series, averaging 4.5 turnovers per game, and if I had to choose the reason for the loss, I would still think Kobe Bryant had too many shots."

"Averaging 26.5 shots per game, he should have given the ball more to Shaq, he's not Lee, he's not Michael Jordan!"

"He should realize that his performance in the playoffs is weaker than in the regular season every year, and his efficiency will drop in the playoffs."

Ernnie Johnson interrupted the two and said seriously:

'Shaq did a good job but I think his toe injury affected his performance and he could have avoided it.

"Perhaps, as Lee said, Shaq is satisfied, this season's loss should be counted from the regular season, and as the team leader, he should be responsible for the loss."

O'Neal was not limited in this series, still averaging 25.3 points per game while shooting 55.9% from the field and 63.3% from the free-throw line.

"17 shots per game? Why did Shaq take fewer than 20 shots? ”

"When a team has a really good big man, why not give the ball to him more?"

The director gave the data, and Charles Barkley began to ask rhetorical questions again, and then asked and answered himself, making something out of nothing:

"Bryant may not be happy with Shaq's central position, but he must realize that he is not strong enough."

"We praise Michael Jordan and Lee for their better performance in the playoffs in their championship season than in the regular season!"

"I've always disliked talking about Lee like a data guru, but the truth is, he's far more effective than any player in his third year as a rookie."

"Bryant can't play like that, and he should be aware that he has to give the ball to his teammates on the team who are doing better."

'I have a lot of respect for Coach Phil Jackson, but after losing this season he should have to make a change and he has to establish who is at the heart of the team.

Kenny Smith thinks Kobe's agent will send them a lawyer's letter sooner or later, and although the data is true, it's still a bit too much to belittle a player like this:

"Chuck, you shouldn't be using Lee and Mai to demand from other players, they're on another level."

"I only hope that the Lakers can effectively strengthen after this season, and there is still room for the OK combination to rise!"

Charles Barkley pouted, he even wanted to invite Kobe Bryant to come to the field to face the line, and he was complained, he didn't care at all.

As long as the show's ratings rise, he will continue to criticize these players, and after one glance at his partner, Charles Barkley swears:

"No one can stop the Knicks anymore, and Lee will win the fifth championship of his career!"

"We can finally talk about the best topics in history this offseason!"

“.”

The Knicks were back in practice at this point, and at the Tarry Town Training Center, the morning video session was over, and everyone was congratulating the three who were selected to the All-Star team.

Pau Gasol is content to be named to the best three team in his second career.

Grant Hill wasn't surprised, and despite averaging less than 20 points per game, it was a matter of course that he was named to the All-Three team due to the team's record.

Artest was very envious, and although he was selected for the best defensive team, he was not satisfied.

"If I can get a few more points, maybe I can be in the best team!"

Stephen Jackson, who was sitting on the side, heard this sentence and immediately said:

"The number of shots is limited, we have the best number of rounds in the league, but there are so many statistics, it's not easy to get a few more points."

"Hey! Bro, be happy! Best Defensive Moment, You're going to get a big contract in the offseason! ”

Jackson hammered Artest, for role players, the contract is the most important thing, the incentive clause is for the star, he just wants to get more salary.

Before lunch, Li You was also blocked by the lively New York media, and the New York Times reporter asked with a smile:

"Lee, what do you think about the Lakers' loss?"

In the past few days, Li You has been practicing continuously, and Li You has felt comfortable physically and mentally, and when he heard this question, he also joked:

"I love the headline of today's news, but I'm not surprised the Lakers lost."

'That's all there is to them, I said a long time ago, Shaq is satisfied, I'm happy to see him improve his free throws, but sadly, he's lost control of the team.

"It's not easy to lead the team to a championship, he still has a lot to learn!"

"Maybe he should learn to compromise instead of fighting his teammates in the locker room, Kobe Bryant has been doing really well this season, and Shaq should be glad to have such a partner."

The New York Times and the New York Post joined forces today, with headlines for both newspapers:

“Where is Shark？”

“Where is Kobe？”

Naturally, there is nothing dry about the column, and when it comes to Excel, O'Neal is still very good, so everyone began to output Kobe.

The Yahoo Sports reporter didn't expect Li You's prediction to be completely correct, so he asked again:

"Lee, which team do you think will eventually make it to the Finals in the Western Conference?"

"It depends on the health of the team, and unfortunately the Kings have an injury first, and this is an opportunity for the Mavericks."

"It's the same when it comes to the division finals, and let's not forget that the Spurs and Mavericks have had a great record this season."

After Li You answered seriously, the ESPN reporter on the other side asked about Gong Huo:

"Lee, the Lakers lost, do you think Kobe Bryant should take more responsibility? His performance in the fourth quarter last night was terrible. ”

Li You, who is busy breaking bags every night, does not pay attention to Kobe's specific data, but there is a fixed template for answering this kind of question:

"The losing leader is responsible, that's Shaq's problem, just like last year when I lost the Finals, it's because I wasn't good enough."

"Kobe Bryant should continue to be himself, and top stars should have such an awareness and believe that their next shot will definitely hit!"

"That's mentioned in Tim Grover's Win."

"It's all about what we learned, I know Kobe's potential, all he has to do is believe in his talent!"

On May 17th, the night's tie-break battle, 69:112, the Mavericks had the last laugh and successfully reached the Western Conference Finals!

The battle between cattle and horses is about to start, and the Western Conference Finals will officially start on the evening of the 19th.

On the 18th, everyone from the Nets came to Manhattan in a bus in the morning.

Despite Kidd's constant shouting in front of the New Jersey media these days, critics rarely discuss them, and the second team is ignored again.

It happened to be a Sunday, and the Eastern Conference Finals officially began at 8 p.m.

An hour before the game, there was a large crowd of New York fans outside the Madison Square Garden arena.

Leziren designed a simple missing person poster, with a string of eye-catching words at the top:

"MISSING PERSON"

Below the words are photos of the players, and the fun people also deliberately chose some painful expressions.

One part of the New York fans held a poster of the missing person Kobe Bryant, and another held a poster of O'Neal.

Before the start of the game, the wild DJ brought its own stereo, and shouted loudly outside the stadium, and the two groups of people holding posters cheered heartily:

“Where is Shark？ Where is Kobe？ ”
