Chapter 99

James absolutely loves the city of Los Angeles. In his previous life, he would come here to train every summer, sometimes inviting Durant and sometimes John Wall.

But now he can't agree to Wade's invitation, although he very much hopes to establish a friendship with Wade, because among the participants of this training, there is also Sun Zhuo.

The first season of James is over. If there is one thing or person that impresses him this season, it can only be Sun Zhuo. Sun Zhuo targeted.

James really didn't want to train with Sun Zhuo. He didn't want to recall sad things during his first vacation, so James found an excuse and hung up the phone.

Since the first two games of the Western Conference Finals were played at the home court of the Timberwolves, Wade decided to go to Los Angeles when the two sides played the third game. He also bought the tickets for Lakers VS Timberwolves G3.

……

On May 5, the Timberwolves' home court, Target Center Arena, the first game of the Western Conference semifinals has been officially staged.

The Timberwolves are No. [-] in the Western Conference this season, and Kevin Garnett also won the regular season MVP this season. This seems to be a very strong opponent. However, after playing against the powerful Lakers, the Timberwolves did not win at all. attitude of the reader.

Just at the beginning of the game, the Lakers suppressed the Timberwolves in all directions. The one who defended O'Neal was Irvin Johnson, who has the same name as Magic Johnson. It seemed that he was afraid of O'Neal before the fight. O'Neal was nervous before he got the ball. Terrible, has been trying to have a physical confrontation with O'Neal that he can't take advantage of, to prevent O'Neal from receiving the ball.

The Lakers have also expected that no matter who the opponent is, O'Neal must be the point that the opponent is most afraid of, followed by Kobe. Kobe also encountered a lot of interference when holding the ball, but now the Lakers have There is one point worthy of trust, and that is Sun Zhuo.

On the first ball, Kobe gave the ball to Sun Zhuo in the bottom corner, and Sun Zhuo successfully hit the first three-pointer after receiving the ball.

"I didn't expect it to be so easy." Sun Zhuo was very relaxed, because he knew that the Timberwolves were not the opponents of the Lakers. He thought that after he exposed his corner three-point ability, the opponents would strictly guard him. Put the defense on O'Neal and Kobe.

"I would rather let this rookie beat us than let Shaq and Kobe play their rhythm. We really can't resist the power of the OK combination, and this rookie, I don't believe he is really that good." Timberwolves coach Philip Sanders is different from Popovich. He doesn't take Sun Zhuo too seriously. He has never seen such an accurate three-point shooter in the world, and he doesn't believe that such a situation will happen to a newcomer to the league. rookie body.

However, Sun Zhuo's three-pointers fell into the Nets accurately time and time again. Every time he scored, Sanders' face would be ugly.

Not only Sun Zhuo, Karl Malone also played very well today. His matchup was the new MVP Kevin Garnett, but Malone seemed to want to educate Garnett. He was full of energy. In the first two rounds He was still a little old in the series, but when he came to the Western Conference Finals, he was able to turn over and hit Garnett after receiving the ball, and he could also make a feint and quickly hit the basket. 2+1!

"What happened to Karl Malone? I feel ten years younger!"

All the players of the Lakers are happy for this veteran, and Karl Malone's state has also inspired others to play.

Kobe is unstoppable. He first scored several goals in a row. Then, O'Neal became active under the basket, slamming the inside of the Timberwolves. Sometimes you even saw O'Neal get the ball under the basket. Timberwolves four Individuals all rushed past the grand occasion.

The Lakers passed the ball very quickly, and Gary Payton also started hitting three-pointers at a 45-degree angle.

The Western Conference Finals was a surprise. I thought the game would be fierce, but I didn't expect the Lakers to beat the Timberwolves. In less than halftime, the Lakers led by as much as 15 points.

What the Timberwolves lost was not only the points, but the most important thing was their momentum. They were still at their home court today, but they didn't show any momentum. If they went to the Lakers' home court, the Timberwolves would have no hope.

As a result, in the first game of the series, the Lakers relied on the performance of the whole team to easily beat the Timberwolves. The Timberwolves scored the highest score was "Madman" Sprewell, a guy who once defended Kobe to 0 points. Mr. Garnett, the MVP, scored only 14 points.

The next day was the game between the Pacers and the Pistons in the Eastern Conference. The Pacers won a game first, but it was very difficult to win. The Pistons prevented O'Neal and Artest's shooting percentages. I believe that the Pacers will soon Will be defeated by the Pistons once.

Then came the second game between the Lakers and Timberwolves.

In my impression, the Timberwolves won two games in this series, and one of them was at home. A team with home court advantage cannot justify losing two games in a row. In G2, the Timberwolves played better. O'Neal and Karl Malone are no longer as excited as the first game. Only Kobe has consistently played the role of a cold-blooded killer, and Sun Zhuo has fully adapted to the rhythm of the playoffs, and his scoring is not limited to the bottom corner. Shoot threes.

As a result, in this game, the Lakers won again, and the Timberwolves lost two games in a row!

After the game, the media and fans lamented how strong the Lakers are, they were able to win two games in a row on the road, and the team that won the MVP was the No. [-] team in the Western Conference!Is there really no one in the West who is the opponent of the Lakers except for the Spurs?

Some people even completely ignored the opponents in the East, thinking that no team can stop the Lakers this season, and the Lakers are already the definite champions!

The Lakers are also laughing and laughing. The past few days of training have been relaxed and happy. Phil Jackson has even wondered which one is the opponent of the Lakers in the finals, the Pistons or the Pacers.

In the second game between the Pistons and the Pacers, the Pacers were defeated by the Pistons. They only scored 66 points in the whole game. The result of this game not only shocked the Pacers, but also made the Lakers start to pay attention to the Pistons.

Therefore, even if the Lakers lead the Timberwolves 2:0, Phil Jackson is still cautious. Their goal is the championship, not the Western Conference championship. The Pistons began to make Phil feel uneasy. Now, they must quickly solve the Timberwolves. To prepare for the finals.

For the third game between the Lakers and the Timberwolves, they returned to the Lakers' home stadium, the Staples Center. In today's game, Dwyane Wade also came to the scene to watch and bought the first row position.

After the players from both sides entered the field, Sun Zhuo took the initiative to walk towards Wade and extended his hand to welcome him.

Wade also stood up and shook hands with Sun Zhuo, saying, "Is this the feeling of the Western Conference Finals? I really want to experience it."

Wade's rookie season to reach the second round of the playoffs is already good. James didn't even make it to the playoffs. If Sun Zhuo didn't have such a strong teammate, he would not be able to reach the stage of the Western Conference finals by himself. However, people are always dissatisfied. Wade's goal now is to make it to the conference finals.

Sun Zhuo smiled and said, "Then you have to join a western team first."

"Haha." Wade smiled, glanced at the Timberwolves players on the field, and suddenly said: "Sun, I think your game today is not easy. Look at Kevin Garnett's expression."

Sun Zhuo looked towards the half court where the Timberwolves players were, and found that Garnett, who was tall and thin with a bald head, had wolf-like gazes in his eyes!

"It's really a wolf." Sun Zhuo was also frightened.
