The older superstars of the NBA

The last two teams in the Western Conference to achieve results were the Denver Nuggets and the Los Angeles Lakers.

Although LeBron James is gone, the Lakers also welcomed Jimmy Butler.

After Butler's arrival, he injected a boost of strength into the Lakers, allowing the Lakers, whose state had fluctuated too much, to stabilize in a short period of time. Especially in terms of team morale, Butler's arrival did make up for the Lakers' predicament after LeBron left.

Although he can't replace LeBron, he also has his own style.

A total of 6 games were played in the entire series.

The Nuggets won the first two games. The core lineup headed by Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray performed well. They had a big explosion in the first two games, which also enabled them to successfully win.

But in the third game, the Lakers finally hit their stride.

Big eyebrow brother Anthony Davis and Butler scored 61 points together. Their performance can be said to have accounted for nearly half of the Lakers' points.

Therefore, this game was won by the Lakers.

After getting a victory, the morale of the Lakers was greatly boosted, and soon they exerted their strength in the subsequent games.

There was almost no big obstacle. The Lakers won two games in a row and scored 3-2, and the Nuggets' team morale completely collapsed.

In the last game, Butler scored 30+ points while being double-teamed by the Nuggets. At the same time, he also threw a winning three-pointer at the last minute. This outstanding performance successfully helped the Lakers win the game.

The Lakers successfully advanced to the semifinals.

Interestingly enough, their next opponent is the Golden State Warriors. Before this semifinal showdown officially arrived, fans in Los Angeles also fired wildly at LeBron.

Many people went to the Lakers' official website to leave messages, saying that the team must be at 200% to play the Warriors.

"The Warriors are nothing special! I hope the Lakers will kill LeBron hard... Yes, we can lose! But we must make the traitor LeBron suffer..."

"No, we shouldn't lose! Now our lineup is not worse than theirs, and we have an extra guy with a stronger fighting spirit... We must kill the Warriors and defeat LeBron and his team. This way Only then can everyone have the pleasure of revenge..."

"Damn it! We must not lose to them!"

NBA officials are very happy to see such "grievances".

Therefore, before the semi-finals of this round officially started, the officials were intentionally or unintentionally promoting the affairs between LeBron and the Lakers.

The effect is indeed very good. Not only the fans of the two teams are very concerned about it, but also the fans in other cities have set their sights on the Lakers. Everyone wants to see whether LeBron and his Warriors will be defeated by this Lakers team. Kill the team!

After all, the Lakers' record doesn't look that bad, and it's not necessarily impossible for the Warriors to capsize in the gutter.

Meanwhile, the Knicks-Hawks game is finally here.

The Hawks were the last team in the Eastern Conference last season, and their sudden rise this season has undoubtedly surprised many fans. However, in the face of absolute strength, such surprise is nothing at all.

The first battle between the two sides started at Madison Square Garden Arena.

The Knicks won the game without any effort at all.

In the first quarter, Zhao Feiyang made many shots and produced very good data. In the second quarter, Zach LaVine led the team to continue to open up the score. He scored 14 points in this quarter and also sent 7 assists.

In the third quarter, LaVine also temporarily went to rest. Although Zhao Feiyang was on the court, he chose to transfer the ball to Derrick Rose in order to save energy. Rose performed very well this time. He faced the interference of Trae Young. Not only did he not panic at all, but he also used his experience to beat the opponent several times and score.

After the first three quarters, the Knicks opened the point difference to 10 points, and the Eagles also found a way to counterattack at this time.

However, it turns out that the Hawks really can't defeat the Knicks.

At the beginning of the last quarter, Trae Young took crazy shots. With the blessing of good condition, he once narrowed the score gap to 5 points, but Zhao Feiyang soon took action.

After getting the ball, he continued to rush into the Eagles' basket in singles. With his strong output and key goals, it didn't take long for the Eagles' point difference to be stretched to double digits.

At the last moment, Zhao Feiyang single-handedly helped the team hold on to the situation, which completely ruined the Eagles' pursuit of points.

After the first game, the Knicks continued their efforts. In the second game that followed, Zhao Feiyang scored an astonishing 40 points as the core.

This performance made countless fans exclaim.

After a big score of 2-0, the Knicks seemed to be going smoothly. However, in the third game, the Eagles finally showed their strength.

Trae Young scored one after another under the interference of LaVine, scoring 20 points in the first half. Although he was double-teamed in the second half, he still scored 11 more points with his amazing three-point touch.

In the end, this guy led the team to a narrow victory over the Knicks with 31 points.

Although they only won by 2 points, the Knicks had to admit defeat.

Fortunately, everything is only temporary.

After this game, the Knicks never had any problems again. The Knicks performed very strongly in the fourth and fifth games after that. Zhao Feiyang successfully helped the team win the opponent with 30+ points.

As a result, the Knicks successfully defeated the Hawks with a score of 4-1 and once again advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals.

After the Knicks entered the Eastern Conference finals, the other two super teams in the Eastern Conference were inextricably tied.

The Brooklyn Nets' game against the Milwaukee Bucks is much tougher.

The lineups of both teams are very strong, and the offense and defense of both teams are also very hard. Both sides almost won one game and I immediately counterattacked. When the game entered the fifth game, the Nets finally took the lead in getting the match point.

After the score was tied at 3-2, the Bucks were somewhat panicked.

Especially Damian Lillard, who is the core, his performance in the fourth and fifth games was not very good.

As a result, Bucks fans criticized him, and many fans who had supported him before were confused by his joining.

"Can Damien actually help the Bucks?"

"I don't think his arrival has made us better! At least, if it's the Nets, it would be easier to beat them in the state we were in last year... Looking at it now, Damien is lying on Young Nice's side follows the team forward..."

"What a pity! If it were players like Zhao instead of Damien, we would have won three consecutive championships long ago..."
