Chapter 378 : One more win, one out!

They successfully won the first game of the Western Conference semifinal series with the Lakers. The reality did not give Wang Pan too much time to enjoy the joy of victory. After only a day’s rest, the two sides started the first game in the energy solution arena. The second confrontation.

Everything is like a replica of the first battle.

At the beginning of the Jazz game, Ostertag, who was outstanding in height and weight, was sent to constantly consume O’Neill’s stamina. The strength attributes of Karl? Malone will double-team and supplement defense from time to time. He doesn’t want to completely defend O’Neal, but only wants the opponent to devote more energy to each attack.

Not only are the two big shields inside, Wang Pan and Stockton will often rush into the basket and steal O’Neal, making it impossible to defend.

In this situation, in the second round, O’Neal made up to 25 shots in total, but only hit 10 of them “forty-eight-seven”, which is exactly 40% of the shooting rate, for a superstar strength level. As far as the big center is concerned, this hit rate is really too low, and the free throw is 5 of 10. For the Sharks, it is already a good performance.

25 points, 12 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 blocks, 5 turnovers and 4 fouls. Is that Shaquille? O’Neal’s answer sheet for this game.

Although the data looks good, this level of performance is obviously not enough for O’Neal’s personal ability and the Lakers who want to win.

Especially when most players in the team can’t help O’Neal much.

Nick? Van Exel is 6 of 17 in this game. Eddie? Jones is 0 for 3, Kobe? Bryant is 1 in 1, Ronnie? Fields scored 1 in 0, and many of the defenders who had high hopes on the team were either unqualified, or had no ball rights, and could not be played.

Is it the 36-year-old veteran Byron? Scott, and Robert, who has often failed to match the team’s tactics? Horry, the competitive state of this game seems very good. The former scored 7 goals, including 3 of 5 three-pointers, 7 of 7 free throws, and scored 24 points.

The latter is an amazing 7 of 7 three-pointers, scoring 21 points, in the case that O’Neal has greatly attracted the attention of the Jazz defense, Robert? Horry always gets an open shot.

The three of the Lakers scored 20+, and the four scored in double figures. On paper, they seemed to be performing well.

But with the Jazz six players in double figures, Wang Pan and Carl? Compared with Malone’s 30+ score, it’s obviously still a lot worse.



The final score was 112:93. The Jazz won another game at home, leading by 2:0.

“Judging from the situation of these two games, the Lakers guards have a big problem. Everyone wants to attack with the ball. Everyone is the kind of player who can only show their strength if they have the ball in their hands. It’s not a good sign.”

“The Lakers already have a Shaquille with unlimited firepower? O’Neal already, these outside players really need to have a certain ability to shoot the ball, but they mainly have to make contributions to the defensive end and the off-ball shooting/shooting. Obviously, the current Lakers guards cannot do this.”

“In this game, Robert? Horry and Byron? Scott played very well. They both scored 20+ points. Unfortunately, the winning point for the Lakers is still on O’Neal. Once this big shark It is impossible for them to win the Jazz if they can’t perform at the dominant level.”

“From the specific process of these two games, it is obvious that the Jazz’s defensive center is always on O’Neal. It turns out that their tactical thinking is very correct. The shooting of the Lakers guards The quasi-head is really not good.”

“Byron? Scott and Robert? Horry are so efficient in this game and can get so many points, largely because they are always on the weak side of the Jazz defensively. Did not receive too much defensive pressure.”

“Facts have proved that it is difficult for the Lakers to win the jazz on the offensive when Nick and Eddie on the outside can’t play well.”

After two U 99 games, many problems can actually be seen, and the fans are eager to discuss scoring.

Obviously, the vast majority of fans are more optimistic about the Jazz.

Looking at the entire league, except for the Jazz and Lakers semifinals, which are in full swing, the other three groups are also unfolding as scheduled.

The other set of matchups in the West, the regular season rankings are even better, the first to start the game at home, the first round is the Rockets who swept their opponents and easily promoted, against the first round with a big score of 3:2 and risky promotion, both physical and energy. Hasn’t the Sonics fully recovered? ? 0 Obviously, the Rockets have to be more dominant in the situation.

But after two games, the Rockets won the first game 112:102, but the second game was overturned at home. The Sonics are relying on Jose? Hawkins’ excellent defensive performance in 6 steals, and Gary? Payton and Sean? Camp’s excellent performance kept his small lead to the end and finally won the game by 5 points.

The battle between the two sides became 1:1, the Rockets no longer have home court advantage, and both sides returned to the same starting line.

His gaze shifted to the east side…

The most eye-catching thing is undoubtedly the duel between the Bulls and the Eagles.

Most fans are more optimistic that the Bulls can easily win this series, and the Bulls did easily win the Hawks in the first game. In the second game, the Eagles have a collective breakout in the away game, Mucci? Blaylock made 9 of 13 shots and 8 of the 9 goals he hit were three-pointers. He staged a stunning three-point show, scoring 26 points, 7 rebounds, 9 assists and 3 steals.

Inside core Mutombo 28+15+3+6, terrifying 6 blocked shots, making the Eagles inside a no-fly zone!

Steve? Smith scored 24 points!

Others such as Christine? Lightner, Eldridge? Rekasner is doing well.

Relying on the overall outstanding performance, the Hawks overturned the Bulls by 8 points away from the 5.9 team and tied with a big score of 1:1, which exceeded everyone’s expectations.

Are the Bulls going to lose?

Everyone has such a doubt in their hearts.


Similarly, in the other side of the Eastern Conference, the Heat vs. Knicks, the Heat lost the first game at home. The second game relied on Mourning and Hardaway’s excellent performance, 4 points. The narrow victory, the big score is also 1:1, the home court advantage is no longer.

On the whole, the semi-finals of the entire league have reached this point. Except for the Jazz’s record, which has reached everyone’s expectations, with a big score of 2:0, the other three groups of matchups turned out to be 1:1. The situation is not clear.

Wang Pan, they can be said to be thriving.

In this state, all Jazz members flew to Los Angeles smoothly. The crucial third game is about to begin…? …
