Bishop: since 1998

Chapter 136 Advancing to the Finals!
January 5, Los Angeles, Staples Center Arena.

The G5 Tianwangshan battle was held at the home court of the Lakers.

Both starting lineups remain unchanged.

The Lakers started with 5 players, Billups, Kobe, Bowen, Big Ben, O'Neal.

The Trail Blazers have 5 generals, Stoudemire, Smith, Pippen, Rasheed, Sabonis.

beep~
In the jump ball, O'Neal broke out, defeated Sabonis, and scored the first attack for the Lakers.

Billups made a cold shot with a three-pointer in the frontcourt——!
Swish-!
Little Flying Squirrel defended the sky and was eaten, so he could only defend with his eyes.

0 to 3! !
The Trail Blazers attacked, Pippen crushed Bowen, turned around and faced the block for a layup.

Same precision hit.

2 to 3! !
The game started, and the two sides are very familiar with each other until now.

Next, O'Neal was defended around the front, and Kobe ran an off-ball tactic and circled around.

Go back to the weak side to catch the ball, make a shot, shake Rasheed's defensive center of gravity, immediately receive the ball and break through, and kill the penalty area.

Bang-dang-!
Elbow in the air, block the block, and chop the basketball into the hoop with the other hand.

2 to 5! !
Looking back, Rashid turned over and made a big jumper, bullying Big Ben's height.

Swish-!
As soon as the trick shines, the Blazers' offense is completed.

4 to 5! !
The Lakers attacked, and O'Neal caught the ball with his back, sat back, and slammed hard.

After Sabonis was knocked away, he turned around immediately, carrying Rasheed's help defense and Sabonis' block, and with a bang, he blasted the basketball into the basket forcefully.

4 to 7! !
O'Neal at his peak is just unreasonable.

The catch is the threat.

Later, Stoudemire came by himself, broke through with the ball, and after being flanked by the Lakers, he forced a shot against the defense.

Snapped--!
Bryant helped defend and solidly blocked Stoudemire.

The Lakers quickly turned from defense to offense. Stoudemire thought the ball was a foul and complained to the referee.

As a result, the Blazers players returned to defense half a beat slower.

Kobe rushed up, got the basketball, rushed to the frontcourt, made a gliding dunk, and blasted the basketball into the basket.

4 to 9! !
"Kobe's offense and defense, the front block, very beautiful, no fouls.

This is the Western Conference Finals, and the referee prefers the players to decide the game.

Moreover, the whistleblowing scale, the Lakers at home, have an advantage. "

With anger, Stoudemire crossover Billups, extremely fast speed, extremely low center of gravity, sudden change of direction, Billups was passed a clean.

Then, desperately, dribbled the ball into the penalty area.

Snapped--!
O'Neal dribbled the ball and overturned Stoudemire's storm to the ground.

The two sides almost fought, and the anger of the game also came out.

Made two free throws.

6 to 9! !
Next, O'Neal dominated the game.

Card position Sabonis reached out for the ball, received the ball in a [-]-on-[-], and while blasting the basketball into the basket, it also caused a thug foul by Rasheed.

On the free throw line, O'Neal was like a god, and he actually made a free throw, scoring 2+1.

6 to 12! !
Immediately afterwards, the ball hit Sabonis and continued to hit Rasheed. There was only one basket left in front of him. With a bang, it went straight to the southeast branch.

An angry O'Neal is invincible.

首节战罢，比分32比24，奥尼尔9投7中，罚球4中2，轰下16分4篮板2助攻1盖帽，带领湖人队取得8分的领先优势。

In the second quarter, O'Neill took the initiative to ask for the game.

Li Mu didn't refuse, the key battle was to fight the main force.

Know people and make good use of them?

This trick is useless, and he has to use his strength to fight for the superstar's personal ability.

Li Mu only changed Bowen and went to Rice.

The lineup at this time became Billups, Kobe, Rice, Ben and O'Neal.

With Rice on the outside, the Trail Blazers can only help defend and cannot encircle O'Neal.

Then, in the second quarter, O'Neal blasted the Trail Blazers inside.

Open the point difference to 15 points.

Seeing that O'Neal was going to explode and take the game away, Dunleavy could only guard O'Neal heavily, and blocked the penalty area by the way, allowing the Lakers to shoot three-pointers.

It was still two and a half bottles of poison. Now that he tasted O'Neill's poison, he could only swallow another bottle of poison after knowing that he couldn't solve it.

Then, Rice also exploded, making consecutive three-pointers.

Kobe also came to join in the fun, and Billups also came to make up the knife, and it actually rained three points.

After the second quarter, the Lakers have opened the point difference to 21 points.

Came back in the second half of the game.

Li Mu was not conservative.

When O'Neal has no solution to the offense, Kobe has a shot, and Rice has a three-pointer.

All that needs to be done is to take advantage of the victory and chase down the game, and in the end, it is necessary to break the mentality of the Trail Blazers and let them understand that the Lakers are invincible.

So, Billups, Kobe, Rice, Big Ben and O'Neal were sent.

You ask why they keep fighting?
Don't ask, there is nothing wrong with being young if you ask.

After the second half of the game, the Trail Blazers attacked.

At this time, the Lakers blocked the penalty area, with O'Neal and Ben in charge, and blocked the two-point line, while Kobe, Rice and Billups defended at all costs.

Let the Blazers shoot away from the basket.

The Trail Blazers are naturally unwilling to float outside to shoot, using pick-and-roll tactics, or the personal ability of the stars, to frequently attack the Lakers guarded inside.

Determination is nice, but the offense isn't efficient.

The rhythm of the game is firmly in the hands of the Lakers, and it is still on both ends of the offense and defense.

In addition to solid defense, the Lakers' offense has not lost its color.

O'Neill is too strong.

Kobe can run too much, pass too much, shoot too much, and shoot too much.

Rice can shoot too well.

Billups is so passable.

Big Ben you ask?

In other words, does he count as being able to carry people?
Regardless of whether it counts or not, with him or without him, the Lakers' offense still takes off and is unstoppable.

After the first three quarters, the Lakers widened the point difference to 31 points.

In the fourth quarter, the Trail Blazers tried to shoot a few three-pointers, but the results were not good.

They were not originally a team that was good at shooting three-pointers.

The trade to Smith is to solve this problem.

It's just that this person's three-pointers are neither good nor bad. He can shoot but has limited lethality.

The Lakers played a defensive counterattack.

The Blazers missed the shot and immediately rushed to play.

After all, the gap is so bad that the Lakers can make waves.

Some waves will kill themselves, while some waves can destroy opponents.

Obviously, the Lakers belong to the second category.

hum~
With the sound of the buzzer, the game time is over.

With a score of 126 to 87, the Lakers beat the Trail Blazers by 39 points and won Tianwangshan. They scored a big score of 3 to 2 and won the match point of the Western Conference Finals.

O'Neal scored 41 points, 13 rebounds, 6 assists and 4 blocks, almost blowing up the Trail Blazers alone.

科比24分8助攻7篮板2封盖2抢断，继续着全能的表现。

Rice had 21 points and 3 rebounds, and made 10 of 6 three-pointers.

The Lakers' Big Three offensively shined collectively, and the Trail Blazers were not wronged when they lost.

April 6, Rose Garden Arena.

The G6 coordinates are played on the Trail Blazers.

If you lose, you have to go home and go fishing.

This is unacceptable for the Trail Blazers with the most lines in the league.

They really work hard and want to win.

O'Neal broke out in the last game. In this game, the defense against O'Neal was the ultimate, only allowing O'Neal to score 23 points and 9 rebounds.

However, Kobe broke out, scoring 37 points, 10 assists and 9 rebounds, leading the Lakers to a 109-103 victory over the Trail Blazers, and advancing to the 4/2 season with a score of 99-00. finals.

Two bottles of poison, no matter how the Trail Blazers choose, they are all dead words, and it depends on whose hands they die.
