Chapter 580 Advancing to the second round!
The Lakers were stolen a home game by the Grizzlies, and lost an away game at the Grizzlies' home game, falling behind by a big score of 2:1.

In the game between the Spurs and the Thunder, the Thunder had grown to the point where the Spurs felt tricky, especially when Leonard was intercepted by Gatsby. Without Leonard's restraint, Durant could do whatever he wanted, and Popovich could only let Dan Niglin went to defend Durant.

Danny Green is a very good defender, but facing Durant, he is still not very able to defend after all.The Thunder won two of the three games, and the one they won was the combination of GDP, especially Duncan, who beat Ibaka so hard that he won one game, but Duncan is old after all, it depends on Duncan Exploding to win the game, the Spurs' prospects are worrying.

In the game between the Clippers and the Mavericks, the Clippers played with ease. The Mavericks are on the verge of rebuilding. Nowitzki, the cornerstone of the team, has reached the twilight years of his career. The opportunity was lost, and now there are not many players in the team who can play. Facing a super team like the Clippers, Nowitzki is alone. The Clippers won all three games and basically won the series.

The Warriors played against the Trail Blazers. These two teams are the most anxious. Curry is still the cornerstone of the Warriors, but the rest of the team members are different. It is impossible for the Warriors to play the famous five minors in the previous life. A completely different team. This Warriors is a super strong team, but it is impossible to be as dominant as in the previous life. The Warriors lead the Trail Blazers 2:1.

The Eastern Conference is strong and weak, especially the Knicks. The Knicks lead the Pacers with a 3-0 score easily and neatly. With one more game, they will advance to the second round.

The west is confused, and the east is strong and weak.

FedEx Arena.

The fourth game between the Grizzlies and the Lakers is about to start. The Grizzlies lead the Lakers 2:1. But it turned around. Instead, they won two games in a row. The fourth game is still at home. If this game can still win, then with a 3:1 lead, the Grizzlies have a high probability of entering the second round.

The atmosphere at home is especially warm. The Lakers and his team look solemn. The away games in the playoffs are never easy, especially when they are behind. The combination of various factors will make some players with poor psychological quality change their performance. Difference.

Most of the Lakers' players are more experienced players, but the impact is less, but the away factor still cannot be ignored.

At the beginning of the game, the Grizzlies continued the touch of the last two games. Gatsby made consecutive hits as soon as they came up. , the Lakers were too passive, they were in trouble, and Gatsby would never allow such a thing to happen.

Fortunately, the other players of the Lakers are back in shape, and Gatsby can also make shots. The players stood up, as long as other people can make shots, the Grizzlies can't put all their energy on him.

In fact, this kind of game happened in the first round, which is unbelievable in many seasons of playoffs, because the intensity is too great, it is not like the first and eighth games at all, it is more like it happened in the third A round of competition, that is, the intensity that will only appear in the Western Conference Finals.

But this is the West today. The term Wild West has been the most popular in recent years. A Gatsby appeared in the East a few years ago, forcing the teams in the East to move to the West. In order to win the championship, the teams in the West formed successively The addition of superteams makes the term Wild West even more veritable.

This has led to the fact that even a team like the Rockets cannot enter the playoffs, and even if the Grizzlies are in the eighth place, their strength is still shockingly strong!

When Gatsby got a chance to breathe, he exploded.

第一节16分4助攻3篮板，第二届14分3助攻2篮板，第三节13分5助攻2篮板，第四节是震撼人心的21分2助攻4篮板！

After the whole game, Gatsby scored a large triple-double with 54 points, 14 assists and 11 rebounds. If Gatsby played like this and the Grizzlies can still win, then the Grizzlies are too strong, but it is obvious that the Grizzlies Bears haven't gotten to that level yet.

The Lakers won this life-and-death battle, which made the Lakers stabilize their morale, but there are still many public opinions inside and outside the Lakers who are not optimistic about the Lakers. It is probably because the Lakers are so hard to even play the first round, and they are still facing the eighth-ranked ball Even if the Lakers barely win the series and enter the second round, whether it is facing the Spurs or the Thunder, the Lakers simply don't have enough strength to face them.

Rumors were coming from all over, and Gatsby listened attentively. He smelled some conspiracy from them. He smiled coldly. Some people just didn't give up, but he had no intention of taking action anymore. Things on the court were done. Okay, people outside the field will naturally calm down. This is competitive sports, and it is such a reality. No matter how you fight, all conspiracies and tricks have to give way in the face of competitive strength.

The fifth game is the home court of the Lakers. In this game, Gatsby was not careless in the slightest. The battle of Tianwangshan is so important. Gatsby broke out completely in this game. This explosion does not mean that he put all his energy on scoring. , He is more comprehensive, his defense almost covers half of the court, he keeps sweeping, checking for omissions to fill in the gaps, and offensively, he constantly attracts flanking attacks. If the Grizzlies do not flank, he will force the Grizzlies to defend He tilted, this game, he scored 21 assists!
Gatsby's assists per game are quite a lot, with an average of 10+ assists per game, which is definitely a historical level, but people's impression of Gatsby has always been-Gatsby is a good scorer!

Gatsby's talent in scoring conceals the fact that he is actually a top assister in history. When he wins the assists title for the first time, fans will suddenly realize - oh, Gatsby has won the assists title again.

Gatsby led the Lakers to win the battle of Tianwangshan!
In the sixth game in Memphis, Coach Jogel once again took out the trick of completely blocking Gatsby. Well, it was very effective. After all, there were two people chasing and intercepting Gatsby to prevent Gatsby from receiving the ball. In terms of defense, Gatsby couldn't use it even if he had great ability.

But, it's one thing. Since the Lakers have suffered this loss, the Grizzlies are destined to suffer a big loss if they want to use this method to defend the Lakers.

In this game, Jokic was the core, Adelaide was the arrow, Gatsby was used as a cover to attract defense, Kobe and Joe Johnson were used as punishment measures when they were emptied, and the Grizzlies were defeated!
The Lakers reversed the form, defeated the Grizzlies 4:2, and advanced to the second round!
