As a Kobe hater, he was actually teammates with Kobe!

The Golden State Warriors defeated the Thunder's Big Three in a Game 7 and advanced to the Western Conference semifinals.

The second round of the Western Conference playoffs has also been officially announced.

Los Angeles Lakers vs. Golden State Warriors

Memphis Grizzlies vs. Dallas Mavericks

...

...

Eastern Conference.

Derrick Rose, the 2008 No. 1 draft pick, led the team to a 4-1 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks, advancing to the semifinals. Rose's unstoppable change of direction and explosive power in the playoffs were impressive.

LeBron James, who formed the Heat's Big Three and was hailed as the "Dragon Slayer" by the American media and the new regular season MVP, also defeated the New York Knicks 4-4.

But it's worth mentioning that even though Amar'e Stoudemire lost, he didn't break his wrist by punching a fire hydrant after the game, which barely saved his career.

Although the Boston Celtics lost Tracy McGrady this season, the team is still strong and eventually defeated the Philadelphia 76ers led by Andrew Byram and Andre Iguodala 4-1.

Furthermore, Byram played in just two games of the series before suffering a season-ending Achilles tendon rupture. The post-game injury report was bleak, and many in the US media speculated that Byram would be unable to continue playing in the NBA.

The Orlando Magic, home of Eastern Conference No. 1 center Dwight Howard, defeated the Atlanta Hawks 4-2.

To this end, the second round of the Eastern Conference playoffs matchups are:

Chicago Bulls vs. Orlando Magic

Miami Heat vs. Boston Celtics

...

...

The game against the Warriors is three days later.

As the Los Angeles Lakers, who have the best record in the league, enjoy home-court advantage.

Before the game, the American media also gave their predictions.

71% of fans believe that the Lakers will sweep the Warriors 4-0 and advance to the Western Conference Finals.

28.5% of fans believe that the Lakers will sweep the Golden State Warriors 4-1 and advance to the Western Conference Finals.

The remaining 0.5% are other results.

The Warriors, with Yao Ming, Curry and a group of former Rockets players, are more difficult to deal with than the Lakers imagined.

Yao Ming and Curry really have a good understanding of each other. Although neither of them is a player with explosive dynamic talents, their superior basketball IQ and selfless character give the Warriors extremely strong team cohesion.

The legendary bird Landry desperately helped to block Odom's layup. He lost his balance in the air and fell heavily to the ground, even losing a tooth.

When he stood up, blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth and dripped onto the floor. When the caddy saw it, he hurried over to wipe it clean.

The game was also forced to be suspended.

"Kobe... Yao Ming and Stephen now have a group of very strong and reliable helpers." Zhou Ze, who was resting on the bench during the rotation period, couldn't help but sigh.

"Well, that's true."

"But don't you also have a large group of trustworthy companions?"

Kobe said.

After saying that, Zhou Ze and Kobe looked at each other and laughed out loud.

The Golden State Warriors are incredibly ambitious this season, and Yao Ming, currently at the peak of his career, is desperately pursuing his first championship ring.

The former Rockets players also gave their all.

only...

The Warriors want to compete for the championship, and so do the Lakers players.

...

...

"Everyone must not let their guard down!"

"Although Los Angeles has won four consecutive championships, their desire to win the championship again is no less than ours."

Dayao said solemnly.

Under Yao Ming's mobilization, the Golden State Warriors burst out with a strong fighting will, but in the face of absolute strength, everything was in vain.

When the Warriors scored exciting and difficult goals, Zhou Ze and Kobe always responded with understatement.

1 is better than 0!

2 is better than 0!

Although the suspense of the game remained until the last 4 minutes and the score difference was no more than 12 points, the Los Angeles Lakers still won 2 home games.

The outside media promoted it as "The Lakers didn't even break a sweat and defeated the Warriors who fought hard."

Hard work and struggle always pay off. In Game 3 of the Golden State Warriors' series at their Oracle home arena, they broke the Lakers' unbeaten streak by 5 points.

Of course, they were eventually swept 4-1 by the Lakers.

But the Warriors became the only team to beat the Lakers in the playoffs in the past two years, which made the outside world have a particularly high opinion of them.

At the same time, fans outside are also praising Zhou Ze for his good vision. Last year's best rookie, Zhou Ze has always supported Stephen Curry.

Another matchup in the Western Conference semifinals is the Dallas Mavericks vs. the Memphis Grizzlies. The Grizzlies completed the black seven feat in the first round against the Spurs, who were second in the Western Conference, but this also seemed to have drained their energy.

Facing Nowitzki who had mastered the one-legged stand, he was swept out by the opponent 4-1.

...

...

In the Eastern Conference, the Bulls defeated Orlando and successfully entered the Eastern Conference Finals.

After a fierce battle in Game 7, the Heat's Big Three, Wade and James, finally defeated the Celtics who had been blocking their way, and will meet the Bulls in the Eastern Conference Finals.

Seeing the Celtics being eliminated in the Eastern Conference semifinals, the fans felt very sad.

The Lakers defeated them in the finals for two consecutive years...

Now we have encountered the 03 Platinum Generation who are sticking together.

Is it true that Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen have never won a championship in their careers?

...

...

The time comes on June 5th.

The Western Conference Finals begin.

Before the game, the Dallas Mavericks' team reporter revealed that Nowitzki had contracted the flu and had been coughing.

Naturally, the media reporters also relayed this matter to Zhou Ze.

"It's a bit regrettable that we may not be able to see Dirk in his prime tonight, but I believe Dirk can overcome this difficulty." Zhou Ze naturally believed that Nowitzki was really infected with the flu. For these players who played with injuries, all he had was respect!!!

but...

Zhou Ze will not let up because of this.

In Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals, Nowitzki, who had a cold and cough, was in poor condition and the Mavericks were defeated after only three quarters.

Just when the outside media believed that the Lakers were about to sweep the Mavericks and advance to the finals, in Game 2, Nowitzki, whose cold had recovered, used one stand after another to resist the Lakers' bombardment.

In Game 2, Nowitzki scored 42 points, 30 of which were scored against Zhou Ze, a two-time DPOY and hailed by the media as the greatest DPOY of all time.

Being able to score so many goals under his defense, Dirk Nowitzki deserves to be known as the second best offensive power forward in NBA history.

But unfortunately...the battle with G2 was lost in the end.

The situations in G3 and G4 were similar. The Mavericks fought until the last moment. The unstoppable Nowitzki met the even more unstoppable Zhou Ze and Kobe.

The Lakers swept the Mavericks 4-0 and entered the finals!!!

...

...

On June 1st, the finals kicked off.

Miami Heat vs. Los Angeles Lakers.

Although James entered the NBA two years earlier than Zhou Ze, he only won the regular season MVP this year.

Zhou Ze has won three regular season MVPs in the past four years.

For this reason, in the eyes of the outside media...

James is more like a challenger to the throne!!!
