All-Around Forward Swingman

On May 16, the Magic beat the Celtics 74:69 at home and drew 3:3.

On May 17, back at home, the Lakers still had an inseparable fight with the Suns. The Suns entered the fourth quarter with 16 points behind. They chased 13 points in the fourth quarter, and finally lost to the Lakers 105:108.

The Lakers defeated the Suns 4:3 to advance to the Western Conference Finals.

On May 18, the Celtics played against the Magic at home. In the end, the Celtics defeated the Magic 97:92 and entered the Eastern Conference Finals.

As a result, the four teams that have entered the conference finals in 2002 have been determined, the Celtics in the East against the Cavaliers, and the Rockets in the West against the Lakers.

On May 19, US time, the Rockets played against the Lakers at home.

Experts from all walks of life are not optimistic about the Lakers. The Lakers fought the Suns in seven games. Kobe averaged 33.5 points, but the rest is still very difficult.

The main reason is that Pau Gasol has a lot of ups and downs, not even as stable as Odom.

On the other hand, the Lakers' bench lineup has almost fallen into a situation where no one is available. If the little shark Bynum is not injured, the Lakers can barely fight the Rockets.

But now that Bynum is injured, Odom, who could have played small forward, has to play power forward. The Lakers had no choice but to use Radmanovich as the starting small forward.

His offense is actually not good, but the Suns' horse Lyon was traded away, and the forward defense has declined, which made him perform well in the match against Weihai.

But in the face of the Rockets' terrifying peak defensive group, no one knows what he can do.

Not to mention him, experts now believe that even Kobe Bryant will not take much advantage of the Rockets' front and back defenses.

Rockets Shane Battier, James Posey, Stevenson, plus the best team in the league Yang Shan. Four people can take care of Kobe in shifts, and only Kobe has a good perimeter defense.

Put Yang Shan or defend McGrady? Besides, even Kobe, who is now at his peak, if a lot of energy is wasted on defense, how much energy can he have on the offensive end?

Historically, the Lakers could have brought in Trevor Ariza and Artest to win two championships. Otherwise, Ray Allen and Pierce would be enough for them on the outside.

On the other side, the Celtics also have this problem. There are not enough defensive players on the forward and back lines. Needless to say, James, McMiller is also a good player, and Ma Lyon is a big head just thinking about it.

Of course, this is just, from the analysis of strength on paper, what the game will look like depends on how well the two sides perform on the spot.

After playing the Suns at home, the Lakers had a rest all night, and the next day they flew to Houston to watch the first game of the Western Conference Finals by flying 437.

The Kardashian sisters and Paris Hilton, who haven't shown up at the Toyota Center for a long time, also appeared. Their reality show ratings have stabilized recently, and of course they want to hype it now

Of course, the Kardashian sisters are also smart people. Knowing how to copy the hype, Kardashian donated 500,000 US dollars in the name of YK Company.

Of course, she herself was not willing to donate so much, but she was willing to donate only at Yang Shan's request. Similarly, YH Company also donated not 500,000 but 1 million US dollars, and the money was sent directly to the local consulate general. .
