Chapter 247 247. Western Conference Finals 2
Dior is a romantic man, otherwise he would not wave his body into a ball. You must know that when he first joined the Suns, he was called a thin center like the wind.

"I beat the Lakers easily back then, and I can still beat them easily now!" Dior was full of confidence.

Based on Dior's understanding of Kobe, it is very normal for Kobe to have a quarrel with his teammates, which is why the media firmly believe that this news will be popular!
In Diaw's view, the Lakers are doomed. As for Popovich's reminder, he felt that he was too worried. That guy was Kobe!A guy who can have conflicts with the combination of O'Neal, Malone, and Payton.

On the other side, Kobe and Liu Ren stood together, but they didn't show any expression, as if they didn't want to look at each other. In fact, the two were talking about each other, but they couldn't see it from a long distance.

"Master, are you sure you want to take turns playing singles? They are the Spurs!" Liu Ren asked while pretending to look at the ceiling.

"There is only one way to beat them. I know them too well! We can only use stronger singles to tear up their defense!" Kobe whispered through his teeth.

The Lakers are always so weird, and they dare to do something surprising at any time. Which team will have internal strife when it goes smoothly to the Western Conference Finals?Even if there is real internal strife, it will be suppressed because of winning, right?Just like O'Neal and Kobe back then, the conflict between the two was almost irreconcilable, and Zen Master still let them play hard together willingly to win three consecutive championships.

As a result, D'Antoni's lying gun was compared with the Zen master. D'Antoni was also unlucky. He just led the Big Four to be swept in the first round last season. All the way to the Eastern Conference Finals.

San Antonio is a multi-ethnic place with a strong exotic atmosphere. Except for the fact that the arena makes Liu Ren, a Chinese native, complain about bad luck, other aspects are really unique.

Pre-match entertainment, a group of beautiful girls of all skin colors came to dance, and the colorful colors were really good.

Finally, the pre-match activities and preparations are over, and the Western Conference Finals will begin soon!
The Lakers start!

Nash, Kobe, Liu Ren, Gasol, Green, the combination of the three veteran superstars and the two potential new stars has become a new symbol of the Lakers!
The Spurs are still led by the troika in the starting lineup, with Leonard and Diaw partnering in the frontcourt.

Before the jump ball, Nash, as the ball-handler of the team, went to high-five the players of the visiting team to show his friendliness. Ginobili, Parker, Leonard, and Duncan all gave him high-fives, but when it came to Dior, Dior looked disdainful. He reached out and touched Nash's hand.

When he was in the Suns, Diaw played the peak of his career for the first time, but he was too unprofessional and often made his body worse than Eddie Curry in the summer. You can see from his current ball-like body come out.

The result of not training well in the summer and causing his body to deteriorate is that before the regular season is over, Dior can't play in the playoffs. He has repeatedly played diving in the playoffs. Naturally, the game was not easy to play, and the angry Nash asked the team to trade him away, so the two formed a bond.

That is to say, Popovich is good at employing people, and he can even use a ball to make a good use of it. This is the reason why Popovich, although his offensive coaching ability may not be much better than D'Antoni, is even better.

Dior's attitude towards Nash made the players on the Lakers very angry, especially Gasol, who was already unhappy with Dior, and now he is even more annoyed.

jump ball!

Gasol jumped the ball with anger. He and Diaw were old rivals when they played in the national team. They disliked each other, and now they dislike each other even more!

Gasol exploded with all his strength, won the jump ball over Duncan's head, then gave Diaw a contemptuous look, and ran upfield.

After Duncan lost the jump ball, he didn't react at all and didn't retreat.

Dior was very angry, he felt a kind of humiliation!Gasol is using his eyes to despise him!

Dior took the initiative to defend Gasol!

Originally the appointment was for Liu Ren to play singles first, but seeing Gasol and Dior stuck on the right side of the free throw line, Gasol was very aggressive and Liu Ren immediately passed the pass. The state is quite trustworthy!
Very easily, Dior's chubby body was easily cut to the basket by Gasol, and he stood directly on the edge of the reasonable collision zone and asked Liu Ren for the ball.

Liu Renma uploaded it. Dior's defense is notoriously weak. After all, he came out of D'Antoni's hands. With such a huge advantage, he would be a fool not to use it.

Gasol received the ball, cut one step directly to a reasonable collision and dunked with one hand!
Duncan was pulled out by Green, and could only watch Gasol ravage Diaw.

Moreover, when Gasol dunked, Dior pulled Gasol, not only useless, but also a foul!

The referee whistles, 2+1!

"FUXK." Diaw cursed in his heart. He jumped up vigorously, but he couldn't even interfere with Gasol. He slapped Gasol on the forearm, but Gasol still violently dunked the ball into the basket. basket!

Gasol's rare toughness!The fans booed loudly. The fans in small cities are very loyal. They don't like to see their players being abused!
Dior hates this kind of insider who is taller and more flexible than him, especially the opponents of the national team, which makes him even more upset.

Gasol added a free throw, 3 to 0, and the Lakers took the lead in scoring.

The Spurs attacked, as expected, as expected by Kobe, Gasol, and Nash before the game. Diaw didn't go inside and almost stood outside the three-point line.

In addition to Diaw, the Spurs' starting power forward Duncan also stands in the middle distance. Duncan can still gain a foothold in the league at this time. Needless to say on the defensive end, the offensive end relies on his precise mid-range.
Diaw asked for the ball immediately after Parker advanced to the frontcourt, and Gasol just got one, and he wanted to save face.

It was a pity that they missed the championship in the finals last year. This year's playoffs, the team did not try their best to reach the Western Conference finals. Among them, Dior's performance is indispensable. He averaged 11 points, 12 rebounds and 6 assists in 7 games in the playoffs this season. The data is very versatile, so he is very confident now, and feels that he is much better than Aldridge and Randolph, and he is ready to fight Gasol hard!
Seeing that Gasol didn't come out on the inside and didn't take himself seriously at all, Diaw was very angry and shot a three-pointer directly.

After Diaw shot, Gasol turned around to face the rebound, with one hand, and his huge body blocked Ginobili and Leonard. The Spurs have the most rebounds except for Duncan. The Spurs' rebounds can only be counted in the league. On average, Dior basically has no offensive rebounds without three points.

But today Dior's touch is very good, the ball hits hollow. 3 to 3 draw.

"Hey, big fool, see, it's a three-pointer! Can you do it?" Dio spit while running next to Gasol during the transition.

Gasol didn't speak, and his expression was serious. He didn't want to argue with Dior verbally. His character determined that he was not a troll and was not good at trash talking.

Although Gasol looked down on Dior, he was not an arrogant person.

Diaw was able to perform so well in the face of Aldridge and Randolph. Naturally, he has quite good strength. He just wanted to test how Dior feels. If Diaw shoots from outside the three-point line, the Lakers will Defensive side will be in big trouble.

The Lakers continue to attack, the Lakers play is very simple, to Gasol.

When Diao saw that Gasol was going to fight again, he was also a little timid. He was arrogant, and he was very aware of his shortcoming of poor defense.

Diaw immediately sought a double-team, and Leonard saw that Dior was being beaten back by Gasol, so he hurried over to help.
