Chapter 822 Advancement
During the regular season, the Lakers almost overtook the Warriors at the beginning and won the first record in the Western Conference.

In the middle and late stages, it was surpassed by the more stable Warriors.

But in terms of lineup analysis, the two teams are actually evenly matched, but when the Lakers entered the playoffs, Bynum was injured, and the young center who was troubled by the injury directly missed the entire playoffs.

This discounted the strength of the Lakers' lineup, and they also lacked confidence when facing the Warriors.

After finally winning the first game, the Warriors brought them back to reality with two consecutive victories. If Kobe is not superb, the Lakers will lose the game.

After all, Garnett led the team without strong teammates, and could not defeat the Warriors who were all soldiers.

So the Lakers lost 18 points to the Warriors at home, which surprised all the experts and media.

After the game, the Warriors and the Warriors were very low-key. Instead, Montgomery encouraged the Lakers: "They still have a strong tactical quality, and their strength lies there. We just feel better in this game. We are a few For a team of this level, it is difficult to define who wins and who loses."

In the Eastern Conference Finals, the Celtics and Pistons tied 2-2.

This is the third consecutive Eastern Conference Finals for the Pistons. They lost to the Heat and the Cavaliers respectively before. If they lose to the Celtics again this year and fail to reach the finals, it will undoubtedly add to the turbulent rumors of the Pistons. A huge question mark.

Prior to this, there were rumors that the Pistons may rebuild, if the championship fails again.

The Celtics stumbled, but the more they played, the better they were. The Pistons in the Eastern Conference Finals did not have the experience of entering the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time. Even the Pistons defeated the Pistons 94-80 at home and were able to take a tough battle .

The whole world is paying attention to the Celtics and the Lakers. Can these two rising giants enter the Finals in 21 years of reincarnation?

The league must have such a planning recommendation, but in the game, it is still the players who can finally decide the result.

Two days later, the two sides played a G4 battle.

Still in the star-studded Staples Arena, there are still big-name Hollywood stars sitting on the sidelines.

The Lakers took the lead and took a 12-3 lead at the beginning of the game. The Warriors entered the game in a different state from the previous game and became a little slow.

But as the game progressed, the Warriors slowly found their form. Ray Allen hit consecutive 3-pointers and stopped the Lakers.

Ray Allen was defended by Kobe. In the previous few games, Ray Allen had no chance at all, and his scoring average fell below single digits per game. His personal regression was very obvious.

But today is very different. After getting an open shot, the shot is particularly firm, showing the good qualities of a pitcher.

The Lakers led the Warriors by 25 points 23 to 2 in the first quarter.

The Warriors dominated the bench. Fortunately, the Lakers were still led by superstars. The game did not collapse, but the Warriors overtook the score after the second quarter. Kobe returned to the court after a rest of less than 3 minutes.

In the second half of the second quarter, Yang Di scored consecutively to kill the Lakers inside. At halftime, the Warriors overtook the Lakers 51 to 50 by 1 point.

The Lakers scored 25 points in both quarters, and the pace of the game was tepid.

In this round of the series, the number of Yang Di's defensive blocks decreased significantly. He couldn't block Garnett, and he couldn't find many opportunities to block Kobe. Fisher occasionally broke through the inside line, and the other Dmanovic has never been inside the three-point line.

The most blocked shots by Yang Di are actually on Fisher and Kwame Brown.

Kwame Brown is a blue-collar insider with few opportunities to attack. Yang Di blocks less than 2 shots per game, which is much less than the previous games.

The Lakers avoided the heavyweights and avoided Yang Di's strong defense, which also reflected the core idea of ​​the overall tactics.

In the third quarter, Kobe went all out and scored 14 points in a single quarter. The Lakers clung to the score. The two sides experienced the same anxious game as the first game.

Kobe scored 30 points in three quarters, and Ariza's defense didn't work when he felt good.

In the decisive stage, the two sides entangled until the last minute of the 48-minute game. Yang Di made Kwame Brown's sixth foul and made two free throws, giving the Warriors a 1-6 lead over the Lakers.

Kobe Bryant hit a key two-point jumper, and the two sides drew at 101.

Then the Warriors made the last wave of offense. Yang Di singled out Garnett in a low post and then turned to walk to the bottom line. When he encountered the frantic siege of the new insider Mbenga, Yang Di missed the shot with a half-man and the two sides entered overtime.

At the beginning of overtime, Yang Di made a two-point jumper from the outside to make up for the last missed goal.

For the Lakers, Kobe missed a jumper from the bottom line, and Yang Di grabbed a key rebound.

Yang Di broke through and gave Tyson Chandler a dunk. The Warriors led the Lakers 105 to 101. Chandler grabbed the basket and roared to the sky, venting his suppressed emotions.

In overtime, the balance of victory was obviously tilted towards the Warriors.

With the Warriors' next few waves of offense with a high success rate, the Warriors finally defeated the Lakers 114 to 105.

Through a small climax in overtime, Kobe defeated the Lakers who were short of major generals in overtime. Kobe scored 29 points on 15 of 43 shots, the highest in the game.

And Yang Di didn't score high, only 29 points, but grabbed 22 rebounds, which helped the team in other ways.

After the Warriors lost an opening game, they actually won 3 games in a row, leading the Lakers 3-1.

In this way, the Lakers didn't even defend their own home court. The total score of the series was at stake, and they might go home to fish if they took a step back.

The crucial fifth game is still going on at the Warriors' home court, and the Lakers have become more ominous.

All the winds have been reversed at this time. The probability of the Lakers' final promotion has dropped from 80% to 0.5% in these few games. Winning has become an unattainable thing.

When the Celtics won the battle of Tianwangshan and led the Pistons 3-2.

The G5 game between the Warriors and the Lakers series was held as scheduled. The Warriors defeated the Lakers 99 to 91 at home and advanced to the finals again.

The team framework of the Lakers is placed there, but because of the trade of Garnett, too much survival has been emptied. The depth of the bench and the depth of the entire team need to be strengthened. As soon as the series ends, Kupchak said that he will use "KK" as the absolute core this summer to carry out large-scale reinforcement.

The Warriors have entered the finals for three consecutive years, and Yang Di is only one step away from realizing his dream of becoming a dynasty.

In Game 6 of the Eastern Conference finals, the Celtics won 89 to 81 at home to the Pistons.

The day after the game ended, the Pistons announced that they had fired head coach Saunders.
