NBA: Being criticized for half a year at the beginning

After the Rockets' game, the Lakers also defeated the Mavericks at home, changing the score to 2-0.

The two teams are advancing in parallel, and they are likely to meet in the Western Conference Finals.

Kobe continued to do whatever he wanted on the offensive end, scoring 31 points and 8 assists with 11 of 20 shots. Although there were as many as 6 turnovers, the flaws did not overshadow the merits.

The Lakers' inside line blew up the Mavericks' inside line in G2. Odom, Gasol and Bynum all got 15 rebounds, grabbing a total of 45 rebounds, including 15 frontcourt rebounds, and coincidentally, each of them had 5 offensive rebounds and 10 defensive rebounds.

It is reasonable for the Mavericks' inside line to collapse and lose the game. The Mavericks lost another game 114-102.

The next day, the Celtics won back a game at the home court of the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Coach Long continued his excellent performance, playing 45 minutes and scoring super data of 14 points and 20 assists.

In addition, all five Celtics starters scored in double digits, with Gentleman Ray steadily outputting 22 points and 7 rebounds.

‘Wolf King’ Garnett scored 20 points and 10 rebounds for a double-double of 20+10.

‘Truth’ Pierce scored 15 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, 5 turnovers and 5 fouls, which is somewhat obsessive-compulsive.

Perkins also scored 10 points and 10 rebounds, an economical double-double.

James on the Cavaliers side failed to continue his superb performance in the previous game, scoring only 26 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists in the whole game. He failed to connect his teammates tonight.

David West still had a stable output of 22 points and 12 rebounds.

In addition to James, the Cavaliers lacked a player who could take on the work of the second organizer.

105-87, the Cavaliers lost to the Celtics at home, and the two teams tied 1-1.

The first game of another semifinal in the Eastern Conference started a day later.

The Orlando Magic, led by Howard, easily defeated the Hawks 115-73 at their home Amway Arena.

The 42-point difference made the Hawks lose face.

Three Magic starters scored more than 20 points.

Howard played a dominant performance, with 22 points, 12 rebounds and 5 blocks, which made the Amway Arena a no-fly zone.

Turkoglu, the Turkish agent, scored 21 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists with 4 of 5 three-pointers.

Point guard Nelson scored 20 points, 5 assists and 2 steals.

The Hawks didn't know whether it was because of fatigue or the Magic's defense was too strong, but their shooting percentage was only 34.6 and their three-point shooting percentage was 15.4.

The player with the most points was Al Horford, who scored 15 points, and Joe scored 10 points in singles.

Except for the two of them, no one of the Hawks scored in double digits.

......

Tang Yu has already started to study the Los Angeles Lakers, and he basically handed over the work of the game against the Suns to Stevens.

Tang Yu also asked Gary Payton, who had worked with Kobe in the Lakers, to study this team together.

"Gary, I want to know what you think of the Lakers? Or how can we beat this team?"

Payton pondered for a while and said: "Boss, as the defending champion, the Lakers have a very mature tactical system. Although we beat the opponent twice in the regular season. But with Gasol, we didn't win a single game!"

"Hey! I know, so I want to hear your opinion!"

"In terms of matchups, their second, third and fourth positions are slightly better than ours. There is also an Odom in the substitute lineup, and his organizational ability is very strong. Battier can't fully restrict the opponent when defending Kobe, so we don't have an advantage in this matchup."

Tang Yu didn't speak, waiting for Payton to continue.

"I think the only way to win is to attack. We have to score more points than them! Stephen and James are our winners. If James and Kobe can explode each other, we have a chance."

Payton is right, Tang Yu nodded in agreement.

Although the Rockets have many players, the same thing applies in the playoffs. It's the upper limit of the main players and the team's stars, and the substitutes have few opportunities to play.

"Do we need to adopt a double-teaming tactic against Kobe?"

"I think it's better not to. The other players of the Lakers are also very capable, and their three-point ability is not weak. Just let Battier defend alone."

Tang Yu nodded. Payton was right. Although Kobe can score, he is also famous for his iron shots. Rather than double-teaming, it's better for Battier to defend alone.

"How many people do you think we should rotate?"

"8 people. If Beverley must be used, I suggest not to play for too long."

Beverley's role is single defense, and Fisher's proportion in the Lakers' offense is not large. Payton said it.

Jordan, Al-Jazeera and Carter must be in the rotation, and then there is Beverley.Lee and Scola.

As for the two veterans, Iverson and McGrady, they can only play as surprise troops if there is a chance.

Tang Yu tapped the desktop with his mobile phone, muttering: "Lakers, Lakers, it's really annoying!"

"Haha, boss, don't worry too much, I believe our team will win. You are a madman!"

Tang Yu laughed and scolded: "Damn, Gary, you are making fun of me too. Be careful of your championship ring!"

"Fuck, boss, if you don't give me the ring, I will definitely go to your house and make a scene!"

The two looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

......

Taylor Swift is holding a concert recently, and the two have not seen each other for nearly 10 days.

Tang Yu, who is alone, can only stay alone in the empty room every day and talk on the phone to relieve his lovesickness.

It took a long time to call Taylor Swift.

"Hi, what's wrong, dear?"

"Are you busy? Is the concert going well?" Tang Yu asked.

Taylor Swift said gently: "Well, it's not bad. The fans are very enthusiastic. I will go back soon. There is still one more game. Do you miss me?"

"Of course, I am waiting for you to participate in the finals. You are an important fan club!"

"Haha, that's a sure thing. Your team must enter the finals. I will sing for you in the first game of the finals!"

Tang Yu laughed and said: "This is a bit difficult. I can't afford your appearance fee!"

Taylor Swift said coquettishly: "Hmph~ Then use people to pay the debt!"

"You wish, then I will lose money!"

"Oh, it turns out that our boss Tang still has chastity! This is big news!" Taylor Swift mocked Tang Yu.

Tang Yu said viciously: "Of course, I will show you my chastity when you come back!"

The two flirted for a while on the phone, and Taylor Swift also said that she would return to Houston in six days.

After hanging up the phone, Tang Yu threw his head back and fell on the soft bed, "I have to be a monk for another week!"
