Chapter 195: The playoffs begin!
After the game with the Kings on April 19, the Lakers' O6-O7 season was all completed. From being not favored at the beginning of the season to having a straight win in the middle of the season, to entering the third place in the West and fourth place in the league! The Lakers have been breaking the experts' predictions this season! But there are still many experts saying that the Lakers are not far in the playoffs. After all, there are Kobe and Odom in the entire team with rich experience in the playoffs. Others basically go out to play the first round of the playoffs with the Lakers, so many people jump out and advocate in the media that the Lakers are still playing for the first round of the playoffs this season, and they can't beat the Jazz! After all, the Rockets' internal and external dual cores are defeated in Salt Lake City, let alone Kobe alone! Most of these people are Salt Lake City's own media and some experts who are not optimistic about the Lakers!
The Los Angeles media also came out to defend their team. A reporter from the Los Angeles Daily said: The Jazz lost to the Lakers in four regular season games, not to mention the playoffs, the Lakers are expected to directly sweep the Jazz to enter the second round!
"Los Angeles Basketball Pioneer" also comes out: Although the Jazz are known as the nemesis of the Rockets, they cannot beat the Lakers. Kobe alone can turn their inside line upside down, not to mention that we have this season's new players He Yiming and Odom, and the Lakers are now ranked fourth in the West and fifth in the league! The Lakers' strength is not something the Jazz can resist!
Journalists from Salt Lake City also came out to speak for their team. Some people said that although Kobe scored high scores in the regular season, he could not get high scores against the Jazz's Tietong defense! There is also someone who is He Yiming, a newcomer, has no experience in the playoffs. It is so naive that the Lakers want to rely on him to come out!
There are always many different opinions from the outside world. The Lakers still arrange training bit by bit according to their own tactics. The Zen master has already arranged the tactics against the Jazz. In his opinion, the Lakers are most likely to win the Jazz 4:1. He is now preparing for his opponent in the second round!
Currently, the Western Conference playoffs list has also come out. The Mavericks ranked first in the West, and they will face the Warriors, the eighth-ranked West! The Warriors reversed the Clippers at the last moment and won the last place in the Western Conference playoffs! The Suns, the second in the West, are against the Rockets, the seventh in the West! The match between Yao and Sir is also the last two inside players in the O2 season! The third in the West Spurs is the Nuggets, the sixth-ranked one with a golden double gun! The Lakers are the fifth-ranked Jazz!
The battle situation in the East has also emerged: the first Pistons vs. the eighth Magic, the second Cavaliers vs. the seventh Wizards, the third Raptors vs. the sixth Nets, and the fourth Heat vs. the fifth Bulls!
Four days later, on April 23, the Lakers' first playoff game will be held at Staples Stadium. After the improvement of the playoff system in the previous few years, it has become 2-2-1-1-1, which means two home games, two away games, and one home game, and one away game! Because the Lakers' record is above the Jazz, the Lakers have two home games first!
.Ω Biqu 』 Pavilion...
It's April 23, at 8 pm! Staples' stadium has been crowded! The Lakers are so strong this season that the fans are rushing to watch the Lakers' playoff performance! They also sincerely hope that the team will get better and better. The Lakers' record in the past few seasons has also made the fans a little sad, but their mood this season is different! Some even played the slogan of sweeping the Jazz on the sidelines!
The Jazz players' faces are also a little unfair! They are also secretly encouraging themselves! Today they sent their main lineup:
Point Guard: Derek Fisher
Quantile: Deron Williams
Small forward: Andre Kirilenko
Power forward: Carlos Boozer
Center: Memit Oku
Although Derek Fisher played the point guard position, everyone knows that Deron Williams is the real point guard of the Jazz! Derek Fisher just used the ball through half the game and then watched Derek Williams slowly take the field!
The Lakers also sent their own ace main force:
Point Guard: Luke Walton
Quantile: Kobe
Small forward: Lamar Odom
Power forward: He Yiming
Center: Kwame Brown
This is also He Yiming's first time playing in the playoffs, and he also felt a little different! The atmosphere on the court is a bit different! It's not as relaxed as the regular season, yes, it's relaxing! This makes He Yiming a little nervous! But He Yiming is not afraid either. He knows that he has no playoff experience and has practiced in the system early!
Fortunately, there is a simulation game function in the system. Although he consumes a lot of points! However, He Yiming still went in and practiced many times! He also consumed all the points he accumulated during this period!
However, this also accumulated a lot of playoff experience for He Yiming. In many trials, the Lakers won the game several times. The Lakers won the game, which made He Yiming less nervous! After all, he didn't have much power, so what's scary about the Lakers winning!
"Dou!" The referee blew the whistle at the beginning of the game! Kwame Brown and Oku jumped up together! But Oku was weighing after all, and Kwame Brown directly rapped the racket into Luke Walton's hands!
At the beginning of the game, He Yiming also got into the state! Luke Walton is also a veteran, slowly controlling the ball to transport it to the frontcourt! The defender of him was Lao Yu, Fisher, the former Lakers point guard, but now he appears in the opposite direction of the Lakers! Although he set an o.4 second final victory with the Lakers, helping the Lakers win the championship! But the opponent is the opponent!
Luke Walton did not give the ball directly to Kobe. Defensive Kobe is a famous defender in the league, Kirilenko, nicknamed ak-47! He has been tangled with Kobe from the beginning and does not give him any chance to catch the ball!
When Luke Walton saw it, he used his own way faster than the old fish and passed the old fish! Entering the Jazz's inside line! At this time, the Jazz's formation changed. The Jazz's is worthy of being the Jazz. Under the arrangement of Old Sloan, Luke Walton was immediately stuck at the free throw line! However, at this time, Luke Walton still looked relaxed, and he threw the ball directly to the right, where was He Yiming! He Yiming received the ball while running and attacked directly towards the Jazz's inside line without pause! Boozer saw He Yiming killing in, and turned around and headed towards him!
However, He Yiming is only one part of this tactic. The real attack is Kobe! Kobe used Odom's cover to penetrate directly into the penalty area. He Yiming attracted Boozer's defense to hang the ball into the inside! Kobe had already arrived inside the penalty area at this time. After receiving He Yiming's pass, he jumped up and took the opportunity to take advantage of the situation and poured the ball directly into the Jazz's basket!
