I am Really an Insider

Wayne was out of breath, but Yao Ming, who was guarding him, was not easy either.

At this time, Odom clamped down on Wayne, who was about to fall into a deadlock.

There was no other way, so Wayne had no choice but to pass the ball to Pao'er who was ready outside the three-point line before the double-team came up.

The Zen Master on the sidelines let out a big sigh. As long as Wayne passes the ball, the Lakers' defense will be successful!

The basketball was handed over to the hands of a group of point guards. Facing Laoyu's defense, Paul just suddenly accelerated and was able to pass him cleanly.

Cuckolds are as solid as ever.

But after Pao'er broke through Laoyu, he didn't get a chance to score easily, because Zitai, who was full of tendons, made up for it immediately.

"Wipe it!" Pao'er cursed secretly and calmly gave the ball to Uduka.

Uduka caught the ball and shot, but the moment he took the shot, he was successfully interfered by Artest who rushed forward actively.

The passionate Artest is indeed the kind of player who can guard two people at the same time.

Even if he double-teams Paul, it doesn't mean there's an opening on the court.

Because he is fully capable of returning to the match the moment you release the ball.

Uduka's open three-pointers are indeed reliable, but his ability to resist interference is almost useless.

This is why his three-point shooting percentage is so high, but his scoring average does not reach double figures.

In a high-level game, how many open shots can you get in a game?

"Bang!" The basketball knocked out of the frame, and the Lakers' defense once again achieved great success!

Artest roared when Uduka hit the iron, which made him look even wilder with his new hairstyle.

Well, Artest's new hairstyle today attracted much attention as soon as he appeared on the stage.

As for the few short hairs on Artest's head, most people can't do much with this kind of hair.

But for a people's artist who can enjoy himself on the tennis court with his eyes closed, is there any personality that Artest can't show off?

So, Artest decided to start from both sides of the hair. He asked his hairstylist to shave the Chinese characters for "champion" on the side of his hair.

Well, Wayne was talking about why this guy suddenly asked himself how to write champion in Chinese a few days ago.

To be honest, it was not uncommon for Wayne to shave the sides of his hair in a pattern in his previous life.

But in 2008, Zitai's style can be said to be quite avant-garde.

Not only is he extremely handsome, he is also full of personality and at the forefront of fashion.

Zangtai, who has a "champion" on his head, was unambiguous today.

On the defensive end, he runs all over the court, is not afraid of confrontation, and roars loudly every time he successfully defends or scores a goal.

This is a typical hairstyle-determined state.

Wayne glared fiercely at the coward who was yelling just now, "You have changed. Now you dare to yell at both of us, and you dare to be impatient with me."

You were not like this before!

You are really Kobe’s person now!

Scumbag!

"Ron Artest's performance today was outstanding. He proved how correct and smart the Lakers' deal for him last summer was! With his contribution on the defensive end, the Lakers seem to be one step closer to the championship. !”

Lakers fans cheered and the on-site commentators seemed to be in a good mood.

Because after Uduka missed that shot, the Trail Blazers were still 7 points behind the Lakers!

At this time, there were only the last 44 seconds left before the end of the game.

The Lakers' victory is determined!

Throughout today's game, the Trail Blazers were suppressed by the Lakers.

Jackson was not polite to Wayne and directly used a layered defensive strategy against Wayne instead of one-on-one defense.

That is, if Wayne is active in the low post, then Yao Ming will be the main defender and Odom will double-team.

If Wayne is active in a high position, he wants to fish out Yao Ming.

So I'm sorry, Yao Ming won't go out. Odom will defend Wayne, and then encourage Tai to double-team.

In the last round against the Jazz, the Lakers had already tested the feasibility of this defensive strategy.

While neither Okur nor Boozer can be compared to Wayne, there are similarities.

Okur flies a kite every day to pull Chairman Yao out, and Boozer also likes to finish the offense in the mid-range.

In short, they want to trick Chairman Yao out and kill him.

At that time, the Zen master used this trick to avert danger.

Yao Ming can just stay at the basket and be done with it. There is nothing he can do about it. The forward line is so luxurious. It is such a luxury. It just helps Yao Ming wipe his butt.

Popovich said he was very sad if the Spurs could also have a forward who could wipe Duncan's butt.

Of course, with such a tight defense, Wayne has scored 23 points so far.

It is impossible to defeat him if he is completely defeated. Again, a true superstar cannot be completely prevented. No matter how good you are, you can only limit him.

Wayne just made a difficult shot and nearly reached 25 points.

Therefore, what really put the Blazers into dire straits today was not the offense, but the defense.

To be precise, it was the defense against Kobe!

Zen Master thought that without Gasol, Yao Ming could bomb the low post at will.

As a result, Wayne's defensive ability in the low post was amazing. Yao Ming failed to take advantage of Wayne in several attacks.

So, after going full circle, I still have to be stingy with Mamba.

Then, MVP exploded.

How did the Trail Blazers defend Kobe Bryant in last year's Western Conference Finals?

It relied on Pao'er's continuous entanglement for 48 minutes. After Pao'er was injured, it relied on 48 minutes of non-stop double-teaming by Posey, Uduka and others.

And Wayne's just right help in defense!

In this regard, it actually did not restrict Kobe in a real sense, it just caused Kobe to miss key shots many times.

Putting aside some missed key shots, Kobe's scoring average in last year's Western Conference finals was not low.

This year, the Trail Blazers still can only rely on guns to compete with Kobe.

McMillan was really worried that the cannon would be damaged again.

The Trail Blazers have lost their sister-in-law. If they don't have Pao'er again, there is no guarantee that they will win the trophy even if they make it to the finals.

But there is no choice, this is the only way now.

However, this year, because Wayne is firmly attracted by Dayao, he can no longer help defend as flexibly as he did last season.

It's not like McMillan didn't think of ways, such as using Milicic to play the fifth position.

Or let Mutombo, P.J. Brown and other meat shields function.

But everything doesn’t work!

Except for Wayne, everyone else's defense against Yao Ming was not effective.

Uncle Mu and Brown, they were born in the 1960s after all.

Well, maybe Uncle Mu is still born in the 50s.

They occasionally hold up for a turn or two, or for a few minutes, but that's actually their function.

If you really want to defend Yao Ming for a long time and the effect is good, then it is nonsense.

Just kidding, this is Yao Yao at his peak.

In the original history, the Lakers twin towers played together, which also allowed Chairman Yao to shoot 28+10 with a 52.9% shooting rate.

In the end, after all the twists and turns, Wayne had to deal with his big brother himself.

Brother Yao chuckled: "Xiao Wei, let's fight hand to hand, a male on top of a male."

There's nothing Wayne can do about it. This guy is too big. I really can't move away to guard against that stingy guy!

As a result, Kobe was absolutely invincible on the offensive end today.

Without Wayne's defensive assistance, relying solely on cannons, it would be impossible to defeat the confident MVP.

Kobe's continuous and efficient offense is the reason why the Blazers have been unable to take the initiative.

At this time, the Trail Blazers, who were 7 points behind, had to defend well this time to retain a glimmer of hope.

Chairman Yao, as always, leaned on Wayne to take the position. It didn't matter whether he caught the ball or not. The important thing was that Wayne couldn't run around.

Wayne was sweating profusely and the collar of his jersey was completely soaked.

There is a child weighing over 300 pounds in front of me who is still very skilled. Do you know how desperate I am?

Just after carrying Dudu, I came to carry Tu Yao again.

It’s really hard to get a job.

Yao Ming completely nailed Wayne, and the old fish handed the ball to Kobe.

At this time, other members of the Trail Blazers did not dare to double-team blindly, especially Uduka.

If Artest is missed and he kills the game with a three-pointer, then Uduka will be a sinner for the ages.

Artest's three-point shooting percentage so far in this year's playoffs is actually not very good, only 32.1%.

But that's better than Ariza who couldn't make any shots last season!

Odom's three-point shooting percentage has also improved in the playoffs, so he really doesn't dare to gamble at critical moments.

Just like that, Kobe posted up and shot the jumper elegantly without any help.

"brush!"

The basketball hit and the Lakers led by 9 points at the last minute!

Kobe's shot almost sentenced the Trail Blazers to death!

After scoring the goal, Kobe compared his hand to a gun, put it to his mouth and blew - this was Wayne's usual action after making a key goal last season.

Now, Kobe has given it all back.

"Beautiful goal, MVP killed the game! Unless a miracle happens, it is impossible for the Trail Blazers to win the game!"

At this time, there were only 28 seconds left before the end of the game.

Most fans had turned off their televisions because the winner was decided.

But there are still some fans, especially Chinese fans, who still stay in front of the TV with clenched fists.

The last time the Lakers made the Trail Blazers so desperate, Wayne ended the game with 4 seconds and 5 minutes.

There are still 28 seconds left this time, maybe there will be a scene!

However, things like 4 seconds and 5 minutes can be copied wherever you want. Even if you send Tracy McGrady back to December 9th four years ago, he may not be able to copy 35 seconds and 13 minutes.

Sure enough, this time Wayne's shot from beyond the three-point line encountered interference from Odom and Artest, and finally missed the frame.

Yao Ming grabbed the rebound and the Lakers kept the ball!

Seeing this situation, Milicic immediately fouled Chairman Yao and sent him to the free throw line.

However, Chairman Yao used his strength to explain what it means to have a perfect shot.

Although he was very tired, Chairman Yao's free throw rhythm was not affected in any way.

Like Wayne, he likes to hit the top of his head when shooting free throws.

Two free throws were made and the Lakers led by 11 points!

If Kobe Bryant had just shot to the head, then Yao Ming was like running up and taking a shot on the Trail Blazers' corpse.

Although Wayne scored a goal later, it was to no avail.

In the end, the Trail Blazers lost to the Lakers by 9 points at the Staples Center!

The Trail Blazers suffered their first defeat in the playoffs this season, while the Lakers have won nine consecutive games since entering the playoffs!

Kobe Bryant scored 36 points, Yao Ming scored 21 points and 10 rebounds, and Tai Tai scored 15 points.

On the Trail Blazers side, except for Paoer and Wayne, no one scored in double figures.

Gasol on the bench gritted his teeth and hated it!

If it weren't for being injured

The moment the game ended, Wayne turned around and left the court.

To be honest, I definitely feel bad after losing, let alone such a crucial battle.

Paul looked at Wayne and felt a little disappointed.

He swore that he had tried his best to defend Kobe, but that guy just managed to score!

The two talked for so long yesterday, but they were immediately hit in the face today.

After his sister-in-law, who was wearing a suit, came back, she expressed that she wanted to come back and play in the Western Conference Finals. He couldn't just watch the team fall into the abyss.

As a result, after participating in confrontation training the next day, my sister-in-law immediately felt discomfort in her legs, and the soreness was unbearable after the training.

No way, the comeback plan can only be stopped urgently. The Trail Blazers still have to face the 70-win Lakers without Gasol!

In the second game of the Western Conference Finals, Wayne broke out completely, making 8 of 11 three-pointers and scoring 43 points!

He is only 5 points away from his career-high 48 points.

When Wayne hits a three-pointer, no matter what defensive strategy the Lakers try, it won't work.

Thanks to Wayne's efforts, the Trail Blazers won the second game in Los Angeles and tied the series at 1-1!

Although he lost the game, Jackson remained very calm at the press conference: "I never imagined that I would be able to pass easily. The Portland Trail Blazers are a very strong team. No matter who wins in the end, the winner will not win easily. of.

It's a pity to lose a home court, but we still have the upper hand! "

The translation of the Zen master's words is: "Don't panic, let the bullet fly for a while. As long as the bullet is fired, sooner or later someone will die."

So, in the third game, the bullet fired by the Zen Master worked.

Wayne struggled in the second half of today's game, with his shooting percentage once falling below 45%.

Director Zhang, who was commentating on the game, kept repeating one sentence: "Wayne is really tired!"

Well, most of the time, this sentence was applied to Chairman Yao.

But this time, this sentence was applied to Wayne.

Since the last round of the series, I have become a father and a mother again, and I have been with Duncan for four full games.

In the Western Conference finals, we have to fight Chairman Yao again.

When Chairman Yao took a break, he had to continue fighting hand-to-hand with Little Shark, the elder of the Beautiful Country Branch of the Buried Love Family.

No matter how strong the ox is, he can't plow it!

Wayne's physical ability is indeed very good, but it is not beyond human limits. Just like a person with abnormal physical fitness, you can't ask him to take off and dunk from outside the three-point line.

No matter how good your physical fitness is, there is a limit.

In the second half of today's game, Wayne reached his limit.

His efficiency was very low in the second half, and it was not until the fourth quarter that he relied on the effect of the "big heart killer" to barely get his shooting percentage back.

Fortunately, when Wayne couldn't score, Paoer took up the banner.

Otherwise, even the "critical moment" condition will not be triggered.

In this way, the Lakers won Game 3 with an 8-point advantage. The guardian of the rose garden failed to protect his territory this time.

2 to 1, the Lakers lead again!

Although the Trail Blazers and Lakers played equally anxiously last season, Portland fans vaguely feel that something is different this season.

Although last season was intense, it felt like the Lakers were chasing behind.

But this year, it is the Trail Blazers who have been desperately chasing behind.

2 to 1, although the best-of-seven series has only played three games.

But the Trail Blazers have been cornered.

Think about it, if they lose the next game again, let the Lakers return to Los Angeles with a 3-1 lead.

Therefore, starting from the next game, the Trail Blazers will enter the rhythm of life and death!

In the fourth game, people noticed that Wayne was wearing a pair of white silk

Well, I actually wore a pair of leg protectors.

Because Wayne felt vaguely sore in his calves, probably caused by being too tired.

"Man of Steel" can only allow Wayne to avoid major injuries, but it does not say that it can allow Wayne to resist normal fatigue injuries.

In today's game, Kobe took advantage of Wayne as soon as he started.

Only then did people notice that the Trail Blazers asked Darko to defend Yao Ming today, and Wayne continued to return to his most comfortable assist defense position.

Then, the Lakers began to frantically send the ball inside.

In the eighth minute of the first quarter, when Chairman Yao completed the hook shot against Milicic, scoring his sixth point of the game and allowing the Lakers to go overtime, Wayne walked up to Milicic and touched the ball. Good hair.

Milicic officially entered the fighting national form!

In the subsequent games, Mickey made Chairman Yao very, very uncomfortable.

Although Mickey is not yet capable of kicking Chairman Yao and punching Little Shark even if his head is touched.

But at least it put a lot of pressure on Yao Ming.

In the second half, Yao Ming's efficiency began to decline after being tortured by Mitch, and Chairman Yao's physical problems began to appear!

At one point, Jackson had to go up with a baby shark.

But now Bynum is not at the same level as Chairman Yao on the offensive end.

In this way, the Blazers only need to concentrate on dealing with Kobe!

In the last attack of the third quarter, Paoer's pass to Wayne was stabbed by Kobe who suddenly rushed out.

At this time, P.J. Brown, who came on as a substitute, wanted to catch the ball.

Unexpectedly, I suddenly got buttery hands

Originally, if he didn't catch it, the ball would have been out of bounds by Kobe.

But he did not catch it, which was very embarrassing.

As a result, Brown, who was nearly 40 years old, couldn't care about anything else. He rushed out of the baseline and made a flying jump, and got the ball back in a daze!

Wayne, who was one step inside the three-point line, caught the basketball and then rushed toward the basket.

Bynum also didn't react, and just raised his hands high.

As a result, Wayne suddenly jumped up and dunked with both hands through the little shark with his arms raised high!

"A dunk from behind! P.J. Brown's save saved the Trail Blazers' chance! The Trail Blazers are leading by 8 points. This is their best game!"

Wayne yelled after landing, and Bynum reluctantly gave Wayne a gentle push.

Well, I really don’t dare to push hard.

I can only express my dissatisfaction weakly.

This 8-point advantage was maintained by the Trail Blazers until the end of the third quarter.

In the fourth quarter, Yao Ming obviously had not recovered yet, and both offense and defense were affected.

The defensive end was very slow, and Milicic passed Yao Ming twice.

At this time, to be honest, if the Zen master lets Bynum go up, although the offense is not that good, the defense will never be stretched.

But Zen Master is famous for not using Bynum at critical moments. He just doesn't trust this stupid guy.

Therefore, at the critical moment, Zen Master still sent the exhausted Yao Ming.

In the end, he paid the price - Wayne broke through Yao Ming twice and successfully scored twice before being double-teamed, completely ending the game!

2 to 2, the Trail Blazers tenaciously equalized the score again!

The Trail Blazers give people the impression that they are invincible Xiaoqiang.

Every time people thought they couldn't get back up, they bit the Lakers hard.

You think they're finished, but they win a game.

However, the loss of this game also completely angered Kobe.

"We will not drag the game into a tiebreaker!" Kobe said.

Just like that, in Game 5 in Los Angeles, Kobe swept away 47 points like a god.

In this game, Wayne touched the heads of Milicic and Pao'er respectively, but even Pao'er who entered the violent mode could not contain Kobe.

Kobe Bryant: Who doesn’t have beast form yet? You can come today, but don't treat me like a human being.

In the last 13.2 seconds of the game, the Trail Blazers were 2 points behind. As long as they defended this goal, they would have a chance to counterattack.

As a result, Kobe used a three-pointer over Wayne to widen the point difference to 5 points and end everything!

Wayne was dumbfounded. With his height and wingspan, he believed that Kobe couldn't see the basket when he shot.

But it’s outrageous that they all got in!

I'm afraid your "big heart killer" is diamond level!

The Trail Blazers really lacked someone who could guard Kobe.

3-2, the Los Angeles Lakers once again got the match point!

Wayne said he would work hard in the Rose Garden. No one doubted this, including Kobe.

But he also responded: "Even if I have to be carried out on a stretcher, I will not give in in the Rose Garden!"

The war between two cheapskates is full of a strong chuuni atmosphere.

Game 6 returned to the Rose Garden, and everyone was looking forward to the Blazers continuing to stage a comeback.

just this time

Today, Master Zen strictly controls Yao Ming's playing time in order to avoid early physical collapse.

Kobe and Wayne fought a magical battle, scoring soaring points against each other, and no one could guard the other.

At the end of the game, Kobe scored 45 points and Wayne scored 46 points. This was basically a one-man show for the two.

If people want to understand how fierce the competition between Kobe and Wayne is in the future, then this game is the best explanation.

This is the pinnacle showdown between the two most successful athletes of this era!

In the last 27 seconds of the game, Kobe shot and shot, and Wayne and Yao Ming were fighting for rebounds under the basket.

Due to the fierce confrontation in the air, the two people touched the basketball at the same time, but neither of them got the ball.

After landing, Wayne prepared to take off a second time to fight again, but when he saw that Chairman Yao's foot, which had already penetrated the steel nail, was about to step on his instep, Wayne quickly avoided it without even thinking.

But this also caused him to miss the opportunity to compete for rebounds.

Zhitai rushed in and picked the fruit, grabbed the offensive rebound and handed the ball to Lao Yu.

The cuckold expert was stunned for a moment. Artest, you have such a dark heart. Leave the blame for this to me.

Wait, if I made this shot, wouldn't it be

So the old fish didn't hesitate, just caught the ball and shot.

What even he didn't expect was that the goal really went in!

Three-pointer hit, Fisher's three-pointer put the Trail Blazers 6 points behind!

If the Lakers eventually win the game, then Fisher's goal will undoubtedly be the most critical goal in the game!

The old fish, who has been bombarded by guns throughout the entire series and has basically been making negative contributions, can boast for three to five years with this goal.

Some people have a good life.

"Xiao Wei, what did you just do?" Yao Ming knew that Wayne didn't take off just to let himself land safely.

It is necessary to protect the opponent, but this time the cost of protecting the opponent is a little bit

"Stop talking about Brother Yao, we haven't lost yet!" Wayne didn't bother with Yao Ming. The decision was his own, and he had to bear the consequences.

It's a pity that the score difference is too big and the time is too short.

In the end, the Trail Blazers narrowly lost to the Lakers with a 3-point gap.

this also means

The Los Angeles Lakers will advance to the finals with a total score of 4 to 2!

"Hahahahaha, win, win! Eh!?" The moment Kobe won the ball, he ran over to Yao Ming for a hug.

Unexpectedly, Yao Ming was the first to run towards Wayne.

"Xiao Wei, Xiao Wei! Thank you!" Yao Ming called to Wayne, and then pulled Wayne into his arms.

Wayne smiled bitterly, what do you think I can do?

I’m really struggling too!

"Go win the championship, and then we'll see you in Beijing." Wayne patted Chairman Yao on the back, then turned around and prepared to leave.

At this time, he saw Pao'er sitting on the bench, with a towel covering his head and his body shaking uncontrollably.

Wayne walked over and leaned his head next to Pao'er's head.

"We played well, but they also won fair. It hurts, but they did win fair. So, don't be so sorry.

You've done a great job this year Chris, I'm not strong enough, I'm not strong enough. I'm sorry, I broke the promise I made that night. "

As Wayne was talking, Pao'er suddenly hugged Wayne's neck. Neither of them spoke anymore. At this time, no words were worth a thousand words.

When Kobe looked back at the court after celebrating, he found that Wayne and Paoer were no longer there.

He sighed, if he could, he would rather eliminate someone else.

On May 29, 2008, the Portland Trail Blazers' defense of the title came to an end.

Wayne failed to complete his goal of consecutive championships, and he also left a knot in his heart for consecutive championships.

A team cannot be called an era, a bunch of talents.

This time, it was Angelenos who stood out.

Summer nights in the rose garden have never been so heavy

I offer you 1.1W, please give me a guaranteed monthly ticket. It's not good to force a loss or a force win, so I tried my best to restore the strength comparison between the two sides. I know that if the Western Conference finals were written for several days and ended with a loss, everyone would not be happy to watch it. However, it doesn’t seem good to just rush through such a crucial plot. So, I used nearly 7,000 words to write about the Western Conference Finals at once, hoping that this would make the rhythm less procrastinating. I'll be here first today. In the evening, Lao Ge decided to go to the hospital for infusions and injections. Keep up the good work and have a good time tomorrow for the update with a guaranteed 1.5W~Finally, beg, beg, beg for a guaranteed monthly ticket!
