Jim Bass Ambition

Chapter 343 each with their own minds

Although they lost a home court, the total score of 1 win and 1 loss, 3 to 1, is still acceptable to Lakers fans, and it can be regarded as maintaining the home court advantage they won.

With three match points in hand, the Lakers return to Dallas.

The performance of the players was obviously much easier. On the chartered flight to Dallas, several young people played cards under the call of Garnett and Billups; Artest took out a midi keyboard and connected it to the Music creation started on the computer, and there were people watching; Kobe was listening to music with headphones on as always, holding a copy of "Sports Weekly" in his hand. The photo with the title is "Zijin Lakers will end the series in 5 games".

Obviously, although Kobe said he didn't care, he still cared about the public's opinion of him.

"You adjusted your mentality very quickly. After you lost the game, I think you are broken in love. You don't want to eat." Jim teased Stevens who was also reading the newspaper.

"Isn't there a famous saying that victory is a panacea... I forgot who said it, and it probably meant this. By the way, sir, should we think about our opponents in the next round? The Suns just swept the Timberwolves. 118.5 points per game... It's unbelievable, such a high score in the playoffs, such a good offensive efficiency, poor Gilbert, averaging 34.8 points, can't help the team win Even a victory." Stevens handed over the newspaper, with a picture of Nash assisting Marion to complete the alley-oop over the head of Jermaine O'Neal.

"Let's talk about the Mavericks first. I have a hunch that the next game may not be so easy, but what is certain is that the way we deal with Terry will definitely not work on Steve Nash. " Jim glanced at the newspaper, and the Rockets pulled back a victory at home. Bob Sura and Mike James broke out at the same time. The two scored 35 points and hit 7 three-pointers. Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady A lot of pressure was shared, and Ginobili suddenly became super ghost in the Spurs. Only 14 of 2, the Rockets were able to breathe on the edge of the cliff, and did not follow in the footsteps of the Timberwolves.

Back at home, the Kings still had no good way to limit the sudden explosion of Jerome James. Fortunately, they also had surprise players in their formation. Killed, the Kings were able to breathe, and in the fourth game, they kept the dignity of the old strong team, beat the Sonics, and tied the score 15-2.

In the East, the Pistons swept the Cavaliers. Apart from LeBron James, only Ilgauskas could score 11.5 points and 8.8 rebounds. As for Eric Snow, who is known for his stability, Larry Snow, who knows him well In front of Brown and the mature Sam Cassell, there were many loopholes and showed his original shape. He averaged 5 points and 3 assists per game, and his shooting percentage was only 37%, which made Jim Paxson extremely distressed.

If there's anything worse than Eric Snow's disastrous performance, it's the fact that he has four years left on his big contract with no trade value at all.

The Pacers played against the Bulls. The young Bulls, led by Luol Deng and Ben Gordon, pulled back a victory at home. Tyson Chandler performed well in the winning game, although he scored only 5 points, but grabbed 17 rebounds and sent 4 blocks. It seems that he is gradually showing his talent on the defensive end.

The Nets and 76ers tied 2-2, and the Heat led the Celtics 3-1.Of course, no one is optimistic about which of these four teams can beat the Pistons or the Pacers in the Eastern Conference Finals. Although the Nets have collected the tridents of Kidd, Carter and Jefferson, Krstic also played well, but inside The defense sucks; the 76ers have a double pick in Iverson and Chris Webber, and prospects like Andre Iguodala and Samuel Dalembert, but Iverson and Weber's defensive problems are too obvious, and they don't call each other very much. For example, in the fourth game, Weber made 9 of 5 shots and only scored 12 points, while Iverson made 33 of 11 shots. 29 points, but the efficiency is simply outrageous.

It is said that after the game, Weber and his friends complained: "I can't cooperate with him at all. He will dribble alone for 20 seconds, and then shoot or do something else. If I continue to fight like this, I will go crazy. You all know I want to get the ball going, but he's been on the ball for so long, I can't be here next season."

It seems that all teams are the same, as long as they lose, all the problems will come.

"It is said that Mark Cuban has already planned to fire Don Nelson. I really can't bear to see such a respected old man lose his life at the end of the festival. Do you think we should give him a chance?" Jim rolled I picked up the newspaper, but suddenly such a sentence popped up.

"What chance, let the water lose the first round?" Stevens was full of question marks.

"how is this possible."

It is impossible for Jim to let the old Nelson stay in the Mavericks' coaching position for a few more games. Of course, the Mavericks can't kill the neck, which means that they have made drastic changes to the lineup for two consecutive years in order to hit the championship. The adjustment completely failed.

In the fifth game, the Mavericks specially arranged for Finley and Josh Howard to respond to Terry in response to the Lakers' double-team tactics. The Lakers' defensive players shrank inside, preventing sudden shots.

Fortunately, Josh Howard is in a brave state today. Not only is his mid-range shot solid, but his three-point shooting percentage is also online, which makes the Lakers' defense a little bit overwhelmed.

"The Lakers are in trouble now. If they stick to this defensive strategy, even if Jason Terry's scoring is contained, the rest of the Mavericks will have enough firepower to help them win this game." Courtside, Mark Jackson and Marv Albert formed a combination of old and new commentators.

"No matter how many points Josh Howard scores, we must stick to the current defensive strategy! Anyone can score, only Terry and Nowitzki can't! Get it!" The Lakers called a timeout, and Jim was like a crazy bet He issued an order that "the game can be lost, but the plane and tank must die".

Terry and Nowitzki continued to face double-teams and close defenses, but second-year Josh Howard began to show his talent, constantly scoring in various ways.

Off the court, Wade was eager to see, and there were still a few days before the comeback time arranged by the team doctor for him, but watching the last rookie of the same level in the first round shine in the game, the prehistoric power in his heart is also surging.
