Chapter 101: Advance to the Finals, Western Champion
I don't know if it was because the Spurs were officially warned by the league after the Lakers appealed.
Before the start of G4, the Spurs did not defy the wind and continued to use off-the-market moves to influence Lakers players.
The Lakers are able to play normally and are naturally fearless.
After the game officially started, the Lakers quickly gained the upper hand with a more solid and solid lineup.
The Spurs had to come up with tougher, dirtier defense and constantly tease Lakers players on the court at the edge of the rules.
can be regarded as a hammer, and when the second quarter reached more than 7 minutes, Malone opened a hole in the corner of Horry's eyebrows.
There is no concussion protection mechanism in these years, otherwise Horry would definitely not be able to continue playing on the court.
But fortunately, before the Auburn Hills palace fight broke out, the league had a relatively wide scale for assessing evildoers.
Since Horry was not directly carried down and could still play on the court, it is reasonable that Malone only received a first-degree malicious foul.
It was also through this bloodshed that Malone continued to deter the villains that Popovich had specially bred to do dirty work, relying on the notoriety he had accumulated for twenty years.
The Spurs couldn't redeem the Lakers' star with role players, and in the end they could only watch the Lakers take away G4's victory.
101-87, the Lakers defeated the Spurs by 14 points in G4 of the Western Conference Finals, and returned to Los Angeles with the match point in advance.
The time soon came on the evening of May 29, and the G5 between the Lakers and the Spurs played again at the Staples Center.
is also because of returning to the Lakers' home court, Kobe Bryant and others finally don't have to play as carefully as they do away.
And the Spurs players also had a premonition that they would be eliminated by the Lakers tonight, so they basically didn't have much defensive action.
In this way, it will be easier for the Lakers to advance to the Finals.
Just like the previous games where the Lakers won, the Lakers don't need to use dirty means to win the game with their own strength.
Relying on Fisher, Kobe, Doon, Malone, and O'Neal, they scored 8 points, 26 points, 23 points, 13 points, and 25 points respectively.
The Lakers' starting lineup combined for 95 points, and the team scored 113 points, easily defeating the Spurs and advancing to the Finals.
After the match, Doon was ready to celebrate and go home to reward himself.
No, at this time, Duncan took the initiative to find the door.
Of course, Duncan hugged O'Neill first, and they had an intimate conversation.
Immediately after that, I chatted with Kobe Bryant a few more words, and then it was Doon's turn.
Although the NBA culture is not good, it still pays more attention to inheritance.
Duncan met James for the first time in the playoffs, and he encouraged him well.
Now that he has met Doon, although Doon is the one who wins, Duncan will inevitably have to be a good teacher.
"Hey, brother, you're playing really well, it's a pleasure to play with you and compete with you.
I love the way you play with your teammates, the way you play, and I hope you keep it up.
I hope to be able to play against you this time next year, but next time I believe I can come back and beat you and you.
However, I also have to congratulate you first, now that the victory is yours, keep up the good work!
Don't be timid, you must be brave, and you must continue to fight.
Go ahead and win the championship that belongs to you!
I'll be supporting you in San Antonio and see you next season! ”
Before Duncan spoke, Doon thought that Duncan was going to say that classic line.
It can only be said that the Lakers swept the Spurs gentlemen, causing Duncan to be unable to say this to Dwan.
"Tim, as long as the Lakers have me, Shaq, and Kobe, it's hard for you to beat us!
However, I also want you to make a comeback, and I want to face stronger opponents.
Isn't that the charm of basketball?
Use challenge after challenge again and again to solve the regrets in your heart.
With hard work again and again, pursue dreams that are difficult to achieve!
I'm sure you're going to make us feel the pressure next season!
Fighting you will make me stronger! I look forward to playing you again next season! ”
Seeing that Duncan can afford to lose so much, Doon is also willing to talk to Duncan more, although the Spurs are dirty, Duncan's character is still fine.
It's like the infamous Pistons Bad Boys Army, but with the image spokesperson of the sportsmanship award like Joe Dumas.
After being swept by Duncan, Doon hurriedly returned to the locker room, preparing to wash his hair first to avoid going from a sudden combination to a bald combination like Ginobili.
However, after returning to the locker room, I saw that the members of the Lakers' uniform team had been waiting here for a long time.
"Doon, put on the Western Conference Championship jersey and put on this hat!
We're going to be back on the pitch and it's time for us to be honored!
Why are you still stunned? Fans are still expecting us to lift the Western Conference Championship trophy! ”
Buss Jr., representing Old Bass, was in command in the locker room, and saw that a rookie like Doon was confused and didn't know anything, so he explained it to Doon.
For the fans, the overall runner-up is the biggest loser.
For the team, even for a giant like the Lakers, the division championship is an honor worthy of special mention!
Not to mention, the uniforms and baseball caps that participated in the Western Conference Championship Awards Ceremony can also stimulate Lakers fans again, making them spend a lot of money to buy and collect team uniforms and baseball caps, making the Lakers make a lot of money.
Because there is no Magic Cup this year, the Western Conference championship award ceremony is not as complicated as the championship award ceremony.
So, by the time O'Neal and Kobe Bryant lift the Western Conference championship trophy together, tonight's process will basically be over.
It's just that what Doon didn't expect was that there was an unexpected surprise tonight.
[Congratulations on helping the Los Angeles Lakers win the 27th NBA Western Conference championship in team history as a starter in the NBA 03-04 season.]
Achieved the NBA Western Conference Championship achievement.
Get a chance to win a NBA Western Conference Championship player template raffle, is it a raffle? 】
"It's directly the Western Conference Championship player template, isn't it divided into role player championships, starting player championships, and home player championships?
Does this mean that, if you're unlucky, you'll still get a garbage player template?
However, this lottery was not in my plan in the first place! ”
Having been given a raffle to the Western Conference Championship Player Template, Doon didn't suffer from any gains.
Some time ago, Doon was still digesting the aunt template, and then the finals will start soon, and it will be difficult for Doon to digest it if he has one more player template.
In fact, with Doon's current strength, the general all-star template is extremely limited in its help.
So, don't worry so much, just let it be.
After packing up his things in the locker room, Doon quickly drove home, ready to fast and bathe before going to bed, and strive for a character explosion and draw a better template.
However, halfway home, Doon's cell phone rang.
Looking at the caller ID, who else can it be besides the good brother Anthony?
"Brother, you're not really going to win the championship, are you?"
"Melon, I'm already a Western champion!
By the way, have you thought about it? Syracuse University has been around for 100 years, and there has been no NCAA championship, and I have it since I came!
After I left, the Syracuse orange people were gone. What's going on, you say? ”
Doon joked with Anthony.
Anthony was angry when he heard this: "I admit it, you may be a little better than me now!"
But before in Syracuse Orange Man, you weren't as strong as you are now!
Obviously, I led you to win the championship, this is a fact, you have to admit it! ”
"Okay, okay, don't be angry, if you have a chance in the future, I will also take you to win the championship, this will always work!"
Because he was still driving, Doon didn't continue to talk to Anthony more.
However, as soon as Anthony hung up the phone, it didn't take long for Wade's call to come.
Then there were Bosh and others, all of whom came to celebrate Doon's entry into the finals.
"Oh, look at my damn charm!"
