Chapter 205 Playing against the Lakers
With the in-depth development of the NBA playoffs, the teams entering the second round are increasingly attracting people's attention.

The reason why they have to sharpen their heads and enter the second round is not only one step closer to the championship with the highest honor, but also an important reason to achieve higher results at the end of the season.

The Lakers, Timberwolves, Spurs, Rockets, Cavaliers, Eagles, Magic, and Celtics, these eight teams stood out from the sixteen playoff teams and became the teams competing for the second round of the playoffs.

Among them, the matchup between any two teams is very interesting.

For example, the Lakers, in an international metropolis like Los Angeles, have a superstar like Kobe, and there is never a shortage of topics. For example, the Timberwolves enjoy extremely high popularity throughout Asia.When these two teams met together, it was like sparks hitting the earth, causing a huge commotion.

Staples on the evening of May 5 was already overcrowded.

Here, you can see the least "unified" Lakers fans, because sitting here are the most fashionable and glamorous Hollywood movie stars; here, you can see the most gorgeous Lakers fans , big directors, big stars, big stars, and celebrities appear in the first row of the stadium; here, you can see countless ordinary Los Angeles Lakers fans, their age is old, they have watched the game for a long time, and even It can be traced back to the time of Chamberlain in ancient times.

The rise of the Lakers warship built with a lot of money is a matter of course.

Not only are the fans willing to see the rise of the Lakers, but the league also hopes for a duel between giants.Last year, the reunion of the Celtics and Lakers in the finals after 20 years earned enough ratings.There are much more articles here than when the Spurs played the Pistons, and even the number of major reports during the Finals has increased a lot year-on-year.

Logically speaking, the Lakers were the team that reached the finals last year, and this year's regular season record is also ranked first in the league, far surpassing the regular season record of the Timberwolves. Not to mention, the team has playoff experience and finals experience. There are a lot of players who are pulled out far surpassing the Timberwolves.If the original style of the experts is followed, it should not be uncommon to predict the Lakers 4 to 0 at this moment, and predict the Lakers 4 to 1.

However, the Timberwolves really like to smash the signs of the experts, so that they have become cautious in making predictions now.Nowadays, there are many people who predict the victory of the Lakers, but there are really no experts who predict the end of the game within a few games. Some experts even predict that the Timberwolves will be upset again and unexpectedly kill the Lakers.

The Celtics and Magic also played the game on the same day. Due to the time difference, the game between the two teams was played before the game between the Timberwolves and the Lakers.

The 7 games with the Bulls consumed too much energy, and the Celtics were always in a passive situation.Although the Celtics fought back in the last quarter, they failed to regain the situation. In the end, they lost 90 to 95 at home. Howard scored 16 points and 22 rebounds, and Garnett continued to be absent.

The 09 playoffs were undoubtedly painful for the defending champions. Garnett underwent surgery on his right knee and missed the entire playoffs. It took him 7 games to beat the young Bulls led by a young boy.The three old guys originally planned to do another big fight this year, but unfortunately the luck is not good, just like the song sang: I don't have that kind of life, what I leave is for future generations to have infinite reverie, if I add Nate isn't hurt, so what.
After the Eastern Conference game, the eyes of the whole country and even the world focused on the Staples Center.

At this moment, the Timberwolves players have completed Staples' appearance ceremony, and the warm-up training before the game has also been completed. The referee walked onto the field with an orange Spalding basketball, and he beckoned the players of the two teams to prepare for the game .

The scenes at the scene are obviously very good at finding the protagonists, and they have been staring at Kobe and Zheng Ke. Finally, let them wait for the camera: Kobe, Zheng Ke and others hug each other with fists, and the two hug each other very generously.

"The lighting here is good." Zheng Ke smiled in Kobe's ear.

"Unfortunately, this is my home court." Kobe also smiled, and he responded: "Staples will definitely defeat the Timberwolves, are you ready?"

Zheng Ke shrugged indifferently. Kobe was always aggressive, like a black mamba, an African poisonous snake.

Today, TNT's famous basketball commentators, Magic Johnson and Chris Webber, are in the arena. Both of them are the most gorgeous basketball players in their respective positions. Let them work together to support the gorgeous Lakers. Team commentator, TNT can be described as unique.

Johnson is undoubtedly a staunch supporter of the Lakers. His tone of commentary is always particularly biased towards the Lakers: "The Lakers have a winning percentage of [-]% in this game."

"Why?" Weber asked with great interest.

"The inside of the Lakers is too strong. The twin towers formed by Bynum and Gasol completely outperformed the inside of the Timberwolves composed of Love and Anderson. You know, on the basketball court, the inside wins the world. If the gap between the two teams is too big Big, the Lakers only need to keep expanding this advantage, then the Timberwolves will definitely be at a disadvantage and eventually lose this game.”

Although Webber thinks his words are very reasonable, he can't turn this broadcast game into an all-out support for the Lakers. Besides, he doesn't want to support the Lakers in such a clear-cut way. He is still worried about the Western Conference Finals.

"I don't think so. The Timberwolves are not weak inside. You know, Love can contribute 11 rebounds per game in the regular season, and Anderson also averages 2.6 blocks per game. These two points are very strong." Weber said.

"Well, even so, the gap in coaching is a bit big." Johnson said: "Phil (Jackson) is a champion coach. The games he has coached, his coaching tactics, and his coaching experience are far superior to Randy (Jackson). Whitman), that gap we have to bring up."

Seeing that Johnson seemed to be holding on to this problem, Weber quickly stared at the field and interrupted Johnson's words: "The game has begun. The Lakers won the ball by jumping and got the ball for the first offense."

The Lakers' lineup on the field: point guard Fisher Fisher, shooting guard Kobe Bryant, small forward Trevor Ariza, power forward Paul Gasol, center Andrew Bynum.

It is worth mentioning that Sun Yue is also currently on the Lakers playoff roster. The Lakers have a 14-man roster for this playoffs, but only 12 players played. Although they may not have the opportunity to play, But if he can win the championship, Sun Yue can also get a championship ring.

Compared with the prosperous Yao Ming and the popular Zheng Ke, Sun Yue's NBA journey is not so ideal. The Lakers are full of talents, and there are so many outside players. His chances of playing in the Lakers are pitiful, so Zheng Ke saw him Sometimes, he was always a little sullen.

Zheng Ke told him to wait patiently and not to be discouraged. Hard training is more important than performance on the field.Hearing that he often served as Kobe's partner during training, Zheng Ke told him to seize such opportunities, and his improvement in defense would make it easier for him to win the favor of the coach.

In fact, Zheng Ke also finds it quite strange. Since he entered the NBA, a lot of history has changed, but many things still develop according to their original trajectories. Sun Yue's growth rate is as slow as he expected. But he still can't understand it.He also remembered the "Argentina's Enchanted Moment" that he used for everyone last year. Although this S-level prop was only a one-time item, it left a lot of "sequelae".The potential of many Chinese players has increased after using this item. He feels that Yao Ming's "great increase in skill" is inseparable from this artifact.

And after winning such a heaven-defying artifact, Zheng Ke has rarely had the chance to draw a lottery for so long, and most of the time, he has won some GS points and ordinary player skills, which are of no great use.The system's help to him is gradually decreasing. When he is on the court, he relies more on his own efforts.

Just like now, Ariza made a rare breakthrough layup, Zheng Ke caught up from behind, slapped it on the backboard, and the rebounded rebound was grabbed by Billups.

"Quick attack!"

The Timberwolves' characteristic offense penetrates like mercury.

Billups didn't look at anyone outside the three-point line to score the ball. Zheng Ke received a pass from Billups in the middle, and without dribbling, he jumped up in three steps, rounded his hand, and completed a tomahawk dunk !
"Hey, buddy. Don't shoot easily in front of him. He and LeBron are the same type of player. You can easily be chased and blocked by him when you shoot like this!"

Kobe was very dissatisfied with Ariza's shot choice this time. When he returned to defense, he spread his hands and told him loudly about the next game.

Ariza knew that he had made a mistake, and kept nodding like a chicken pecking at rice. He looked back at Jackson, and found that Zen Master was still sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, and he had no intention of replacing him. He breathed a sigh of relief
