The NBA system urges me to pay back the money

Chapter 208 12. Things are a little tricky.
The Suns who returned to the home court had no other strategy except to think of a way on Qin Xiong.

So far, though, the Suns' strategy doesn't seem to be working.

At least Suns coach Frank Johnson didn't get the desired effect.

The Suns coaching staff originally thought that Qin Xiong was the weakest link in the Lakers' starting lineup, but unexpectedly he kicked on the iron plate and was seriously injured.

What's more, the Lakers are far more than Qin Xiong who can beat the Suns alone. Kobe and Ao Pang haven't exerted their strength yet!
The most important thing is that Marbury's scoring efficiency is incomparable with Qin Xiong.

After the start of the second quarter, Kobe and O'Neal worked together to quickly open the point difference to 15+; in the third quarter, the Lakers took advantage of the victory and chased to open the point difference to 30+ in one fell swoop. The sun was powerless, and coach Johnson raised his hand and surrendered .

Two days later, the Lakers beat the Suns 118+ 87:30 and sent the young Suns home to go fishing.

The Lakers, who swept the Suns, took the lead in advancing to the Western Conference semifinals.

After the Lakers advanced, the Spurs were not to be outdone, and also swept the Jazz 4-0.

Although the old Utah Shuangsha are still fighting for the championship, this era does not belong to them after all.

After being swept by the Spurs, Stockton announced his retirement at a press conference.

The veteran who once had a peak duel with the leader of Qiao Gang couldn't stand the passing of time, and decided to put his sword in the sheath, wash his hands and return to the world.

Stockton's retirement caused a lot of repercussions, but there was too much news about the league's superstars during the playoffs, and soon, this news was overwhelmed by other news.

The Lakers and Spurs took the lead in advancing to the semifinals, and their opponents quickly decided the winner.

The Mavericks defeated the Timberwolves 4:2 and became the Lakers' opponent in the next round; the Kings narrowly beat the Trail Blazers 4:3, drained the last drop of oil in Pi Erye's fuel tank, and struggled to join the Spurs in the Western Conference semifinals.

There is basically no suspense in the semifinals between the Mavericks and the Lakers. The media predicts that the Lakers will win the Mavericks 4:0 or 4:1 and join the Spurs in the Western Conference Finals.

Mavericks coach Nelson is an old man with a great personality. Before the game, he told the media: The Lakers are brilliant, but he will use shark-slashing tactics.

O'Neill's face was ashen when he was frightened by his words.

The old guy still can't forget the shark hacking tactic.

The most important thing is that the shark slashing tactic was invented by the old boy Nelson. He used the shark slashing tactic very happily, and many teams in the league followed suit, making Ofa miserable.

However, Nelson spoke big words, but did not resort to the "shark-cutting tactics" in the game.

He has no chance to use it!
Qin Xiong and Kobe teamed up to blow up the Mavericks outside, and Mr. Nash was directly beaten to the bench by Qin Xiong.Ao Pang didn't exert much force, and the Mavericks couldn't stand it anymore.

In this case, how could Nelson care about O'Neill?
The Mavericks were swept, without a doubt, 4:0.

After taking care of the Mavericks, the Lakers took the lead in advancing to the Western Conference Finals, recuperating and waiting for their opponents.

Compared with the situation where the Mavericks were helpless against the Lakers, the confrontation between the Spurs and the Kings was much better.

Both teams have super power forwards, the Spurs are tough and down-to-earth, and the Kings are gorgeous but soft.

The two teams have been entangled until the tiebreaker. The Spurs narrowly won a move, passed through danger, and joined the Lakers in the Western Conference Finals.

The top two in the Western Conference Finals appeared, and the two sides in the Eastern Conference Finals also quickly emerged: Pistons vs. Nets.

Kidd is getting more and more demon!
After leaving the Mavericks, he quickly entered the peak and led the little-known Nets into the public eye. Last season, he led the Nets to the finals, losing to the OK combination.

The media predicts that the Nets should be able to enter the Finals this season, because the opponent Pistons are too weak and too inconspicuous.

On May 5, the Western Conference finals kicked off at the Staples Center.

The Spurs are strong and strong, strong and tough, but the result of the game was 74:111, and the Spurs were blown up by their opponents.

After the first game, O'Neal touched Duncan's head and said something meaningful: "Work hard, Tim, the future belongs to you!"

In the second game of the Western Conference Finals, the Lakers didn't give the Spurs any chance, and easily settled their opponents 108:88 cleanly.

The battlefield shifted to San Antonio.

Popovich tried his best, but failed to win even a single victory for the Spurs.

It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice!
The difference in hard power between the two sides is too large. Kobe and Qin Xiong teamed up to blow up the outside of the Spurs, and O'Neal and Duncan fought evenly... Therefore, the Spurs' defeat did not cause a sensation.

After all, the current Lakers team is too strong.

0:3, the Spurs are in desperation.

No team has ever come back from a 0-3 slump, and the Spurs are no exception.

Two days later, the Lakers beat the Spurs again 114:98, repeating the glory of the 00-01 season-the promotion to the finals without a single defeat!

The strength of the Lakers caused panic within the league!
No one expected that the peak period of the Lakers would be so long.

The Lakers swept the Spurs 4:0, and the Nets also swept the Pistons 4:0. The two teams met in the Finals for the second consecutive year.

The competition between the two teams in the finals for two consecutive years has become a topic of media hype, and the momentum has become very large.

Coupled with the high-level propaganda of the league, the atmosphere of the finals is very hot.

However, publicity depends on words, and playing depends on strength.

The atmosphere of the finals was really hot, but the process of the game was really depressing.

The reason is simple: the Nets were blown away by the Lakers!

From the first game, the Lakers have been firmly in the upper hand and quickly got the match point.

The Nets are in a desperate situation.

Hey, it seems that the Lakers opponents have this experience!
Always being in a desperate situation is really not something to show off.

Perhaps it was the reason why the strength of the Lakers caused panic within the league. In the fourth game, the Nets received a lot of care. Before the end of the third quarter, Kobe made 5 fouls and O'Neal made 4 fouls.

As for Qin Xiong, he was called for two fouls in a row in the third quarter and had five fouls on his back. Coach Jackson had already arranged for him to rest on the bench.

After Kobe committed 5 fouls, Zen Master replaced Kobe with Qin Xiong, ready to win the game in one go.

Qin Xiong knew that the referee took good care of the Nets, so he took a big step away from Kidd when defending, and he did not let go.

Kidd has a mid-range shot, but he is very iron.

If it's the regular season, Kidd's small flaw is nothing; but in the finals, this small lack is fatal.

Right now.

Qin Xiong took the initiative to retreat, but Kidd hesitated while holding the ball. Once he hesitated, the good opportunity was gone.

A small flaw caused Kidd to hate the finals again!
The Lakers lift the championship trophy at Continental Stadium!
The Lakers story seems complete.

Have won the cup for four consecutive years!

But this is not the case.

The Lakers management has some regrets!

They regretted that the contract given to Qin Xiong was too small. Although the 1+1 contract was forced on them by O'Neill, the facts have proved that O'Pang has a good vision.

But Qin Xiong's contract will end next season!

This is the key point, very tricky.
