Chapter 359 Fighting the Lakers Again
In general, the Lakers didn't play very well at home today. There were no good goals in the finals. The Lakers focused most of their energy on limiting the Warriors' offense. Naturally, their offense was also strictly limited by the Warriors. This is a game. Game of limits and anti-limits.

In the end, it depends on who has fewer turnovers and who has stronger defensive toughness. Obviously, the Lakers had the last laugh. They have more experience in the finals and conference finals, which helped them overcome difficulties and beat the visiting Golden State Warriors.

The Lakers teenager Kobe Bryant is obviously the biggest contributor to today's victory. He played 44 minutes and played almost the entire game. He made 26 of 12 shots and scored 30 points, 6 assists and 5 assists. It's the final of the NBA Western Conference playoffs. Such a performance is already very good.

Shaquille O'Neal, the big shark, today's performance can only be said to be very ordinary. He made 21 of 11 shots and scored 26 points and 9 rebounds. In addition, he also had 2 steals and 4 blocks. The insiders of the Warriors have done their best. He did his best to limit the most powerful player on the Lakers.

The veteran of the Lakers, Robert Horry, made 12 of 6 shots and was the Lakers' third scoring point today, with 18 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists. Without his outstanding performance, the Lakers might not be able to win so easily.

Players in the Warriors, No. 7 Jr. O’Neal, he did not disappoint the expectations of his teammates and head coach Lenny. He made 25 of 14 shots, 28 points, 14 rebounds and 6 assists. He fought until five fouls, almost in the He was sent off at the last moment.

You must know that this is the NBA Western Conference Finals, not an ordinary NBA regular season. On such occasions, with such defensive strength and strict law enforcement, he can still get quasi-triple-double data. O'Neal has already proved to the world he himself.

Billups also struggled almost with leg cramps. He is the player with the most playing time in the Warriors. He played a total of about 40 minutes, which is almost equal to three and a half quarters. He contributed 19 points, 2 rebounds and 5 assists. The fans of the Warriors have left messages on the Warriors official forum, expressing their appreciation for Billups. He played very tough and did not let the Lakers' perimeter take any advantage.

The highly anticipated twin stars of the Warriors, Tracy McGrady and Hill played a little abnormally in the first game of the Western Conference Finals of the NBA playoffs. One scored 13 points and the other scored 12 points. If they are ordinary starters or rotation players, there is nothing wrong with it, but They are the sharpest spears in the Warriors. They cannot lead the Golden State Warriors to victory. All voices and eyes of doubt are directed to the Warriors' No. 1 and No. 33.

In the Warriors, Shane Battier, who came off the bench, performed beyond everyone's expectations. He made 15 of 9 shots, scored 21 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists. He came out and took over the right to fire. Perhaps this has something to do with the Lakers not defending him closely enough, but Battier expressed his courage and determination with actions.

Dayao's statistics are also mediocre. He didn't play much time. In his rookie season, he faced the peak Sharks. It is impossible to set too high demands on him. The statistics of 4 points, 11 rebounds, 2 steals and 5 blocks, At least in terms of defense, Yao Ming gave the Warriors enough height. The Lakers' shooting percentage is not high today, and Yao's contribution must be the greatest.

The process of the western nba finals seemed to be much faster. Two days later, on May 2002, 5, the Golden State Warriors, who had eliminated the Mavericks Kings in a row, continued to challenge the famous OK Combined, the Los Angeles Lakers.

"The starting lineup of the Lakers at home has not changed. Center Shaquille O'Neal, power forward Robert Horry, small forward Rick Fox, shooting guard Kobe Bryant, point guard Derek Fisher."

"The Warriors always like to change the head coach Lenny, but unexpectedly did not make any adjustments in this game, and sent out the starting lineup he has always used."

"The center is still the No. 11 center Yao Ming from China, and the No. 7 power forward Jermaine O'Neal. He will still be the Warriors' main attack today. After all, the Lakers' No. 3 and No. 4 positions are the blind spots in their OK combination. There is a lot of space to make a fuss."

"The Warriors' starting small forward is still No. 1 McGrady. Lenny will not mess up at this time. McGrady and Yao Ming are the cornerstones of the Warriors for the next ten years. No one will win or lose in one or two games. Negating the role of McGrady and Yao Ming, after all, McGrady and Yao Ming are only 22 years old, they still have enough time to hone and improve themselves."

"Using the NBA Western Conference playoff finals to train the team, I have to say that the head coach of the Warriors, Lenny Wilkens, has a very strong heart. Fans also left messages on the official website forum to support the current players of the Warriors. And strongly support the Warriors coaching staff headed by Lenny."

"After all, all Warriors fans have seen the huge changes in the Golden State Warriors in the past two seasons. The Warriors, who were originally the bottom of the Western Conference, are accustomed to the last place in the regular season and the role of playoff spectators. But at least in the past two seasons, the Warriors have given all fans a bright performance, whether it is the playoffs or the regular season, it is definitely remarkable."

"Last year's playoffs, the Warriors were the losers of the Los Angeles Lakers. They blocked their ambition to defend the NBA championship in the first round. This has to be said to be a huge blow to the entire Lakers team and Lakers fans. This season, the Lakers routine The downturn in the game must have a lot to do with the Warriors' blocking."

"Warriors shooting guard No. 33 Grant Hill, his task in this series is very heavy, because what he needs to face is the talented young Lakers Kobe Bryant. No one knows where Kobe's upper limit is. The windy boy Hill praised Kobe more than once, and he was full of praise from the bottom of his heart."

"Hill, who is about to turn 30 years old, has been playing in the major league of the NBA for several seasons. His physical condition is definitely not as good as it was back then. After all, he has been hit by very serious injuries. It is estimated that he will be replaced by an ordinary player. Retired."

"In the long history of the nba, there have been too many talented and talented players, but in the end, there are not many players who can be remembered by the league and all fans. Diligence and hard work are sometimes far more important than talent and physical fitness. many."

"Jordan, the core basketball god of the Bull Dynasty, and Rodman, the rebounding king, are not so strong whether it is the ranking in the NBA draft or the physical fitness during the physical test. Rodman was the first in the second round in 1986. 27th overall pick."
