The rest is just noise

In the first round of the Western Conference playoffs, the Lakers will face the Suns, who are ranked eighth in the division.

Facing the 77-5 Big Mac, no one would take any chances with the Suns.

In a word, the Lakers' unlucky 3-0 advance to the semifinals was a serious outperformance.

Before Game 1, Louis greeted Yu Tiancan.

"Xiao Yu, you have gained weight." Louis teased, "Isn't this fat specially raised to deal with your junior brother (Duncan)?"

Yu Tiancan said with a smile: "No such thing, the doctor suggested that I gain some weight, saying that this would allow me to survive the long season healthily."

Louis remembers hearing a similar statement from O'Neal.

However, a person like O'Neal, who has a strong self-esteem but a very small mind, has to find an excuse for any shortcomings he has. People say why he can't shoot free throws accurately. He said that he fell while climbing a tree when he was a child and couldn't get treatment;

He said he was fat, and he said that the extra dozens of taels of meat could offset the wear and tear on him. There was probably only one thing he couldn't find an excuse for, and that was that he was disliked by his ex-girlfriend.

different.

As a man, you don't have to be reasonable about this matter. You think you are pretty good, but the customer's experience is at stake.

"Okay, keep going." Louis patted Yu Tiancan on the back and turned back to his bench.

There is a huge gap in hard power between the two sides, so Louis does not need to arrange any new content. He can win the game as long as he plays his own routine step by step.

From the beginning, Bodiloga competed with Kevin Johnson.

The former is the hottest rising star at the moment - in terms of fame, he has surpassed the true rookie king Duncan - and the latter is a lightning guard at the tail end of his peak.

Bodiloga plays post-up, pick-and-roll roll call, emergency stop and mid-range shot.

KJ could easily break down Bodilloga's defense with just one change of direction, but Garnett and Duncan made the penalty area airtight.

Although KJ got past Bodiroga, his results after the breakthrough were average because of his unstable shooting.

The Lakers used the counterattack brought by the inside defense to score consecutive points. In less than four minutes, they reached a 16-6 climax, and the Suns were forced to request a timeout.

Subsequently, Louis replaced Bodiroga and Liu Yuqing, and replaced Dumars and Kobe.

The game enters a transitional phase.

Because the Suns are not very competitive, Wilson is just sweating casually on the court, which gives him a huge advantage.

At this time, he prefers to let young people show themselves.

"I'll go to the corner to take a breath, and you guys will figure it out."

Wilson said willfully and ran to the bottom corner to watch the wind without looking back.

Seeing this scene, the young people in the Lakers team were naturally full of energy and wanted the ball.

"I'll go first!"

Kobe naturally strives for the lead. As an outside shooter, it is easier to get the ball.

Garnett had no objection: "The next ball is mine!"

Duncan's big eyes blinked, and he obviously had something to say but didn't know where to start.

On the next offensive possession, Garnett caught the ball.

However, Garnett was more than capable today but lacked touch.

When the third offensive round came, Kobe and Garnett's calls for the ball instantly overwhelmed the position.

Everyone only looked at the two of them, completely ignoring Duncan who was also asking for the ball.

"Isn't this bullying an honest person?" Louis looked amused.

However, trying to persuade those two people to meditate has no effect at all, and they are still so frustrated.

After two minutes, Duncan, who had been ignored many times, finally got the ball.

Then, Taiyang refused to give him any face and double-teamed him.

Duncan, who didn't want to hit hard, could only score one point, and Kobe hit a three-pointer from the outside.

"Good pass, Tim, I knew you could pass it!"

When Duncan returned to defense, he agreed: "It's like I know you can't pass the ball."

"Don't be so stingy, Tim. You know, it's not that I don't pass the ball, it's just not necessary because I still have a lot of skills that I haven't shown yet!"

Bodiloga made a sharp comment on Kobe Bryant off the court: "That guy doesn't even know what teamwork is, he only has eyes for himself."

Liu Yuqing took a deep look at Bodilloga.

This person understands high school students.

After that, back to the Lakers' offensive round again, Kobe shouted for the ball, and Duncan shut himself up.

Even so, the Lakers' game rhythm is actually quite well controlled because their overall talent is much better than their opponents.

They don't have to worry about problems from their opponents at all.

Louis even had the time to take Kobe and Garnett out during the game and let them meditate on the spot.

"Sir, wouldn't it be better for us to find the feeling directly on the court?"

"It's not good." Louis said, "When you are on the field, you only have eyes for yourself, which greatly affects your view of the overall situation. Mental thinking can help you jump out of your personal frame and look down from the high point to the low point. Now, you close your eyes

Eyes, try to look at the problem from Tim's perspective - I play seriously, work hard and selflessly, and try my best to help my teammates, but there are two immature people in my team who always want to be in the limelight, and I can't get along with them.

If there is a direct dispute, we cannot remain indifferent to it..."

Although they were clearly in the noisy Forum Arena, Garnett and Kobe fell into a meditative state.

This worked better than last time, they really - touched something that is usually hard to reach.

They didn't break out of that state until three minutes into the second quarter.

Kobe was so ashamed that if he had experienced what Duncan experienced, he would have been furious.

Garnett said with emotion: "Tim is a loyal man!"

Although Louis always feels that he is the only loyal person in the NBA circle, if there must be a second one, it should be Duncan.

Being as famous as Duncan will never make him repeat the shame of Xiao Feng and Murong Fu.

After that, two high school students appeared again.

This time, they gave people a much better impression.

If he looked like a wild horse that had escaped the reins just now, now he looks like a tamed horse.

The high school students kept to themselves and there were no more splashes in the game.

For the Suns, there are only two bright spots.

Yu Tiancan, who supported Garnett and Duncan, played the most 40 minutes in the game, scoring 22 points, 13 rebounds and 3 blocks. Compared with KJ, who faced off against Bodiloga, Yu Tiancan had more playing time and more garbage time.

Advantage, he scored 31 points and 10 assists in one game, which was much more impressive than Bodiloga's 17 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists.

I don’t know if the data advantage gave KJ confidence. He said after the game: "I think everyone knows that I am the better player, but unfortunately, this is a game between the Lakers and the Suns."

Such words may become a beef for American players.

As for Bodilloga, he was not in the mood to compete with KJ. Instead of wasting energy on these things, it would be better to find another ice cream brand that suits the taste.

Two days later, in Game 2, before the game started, Wilson talked about tonight's goal in the locker room.

Originally, Louis should be responsible for this kind of thing, but tonight's goal is quite special. If Louis were to give the order, it would be suspected of favoring someone. If Wilson takes the responsibility, it would be purely the boss's promotion of the newcomer.

First of all, winning is a must.

Secondly, we need to let Bodiroga compete. KJ dared to speak nonsense a few days ago. Isn't the reason why his post-game statistics look good? Tonight we are going to let the Europeans win both games and people.

Bodiloga was greatly surprised by this battle: "It's just a small matter, there's no need to mobilize so many troops, right?"

"Don't think this is a trivial matter. You are our commander and have the strength of the top ten in the league, but KJ has never been at this level. You have to prove it to him." Wilson said, "Otherwise, we will be disgraced.

.”

At the beginning of the night, Louis had a good time.

He asked Bodilloga to imitate the magician of the year and play as a center forward to jump the ball with Yu Tiancan. The result was of course that the opening ball was lost.

Subsequently, every second Bodiloga was on the court, he could deeply feel that the team was indeed running with him as the center.

This made him even more focused.

Fortunately, Bodiloga felt very good tonight. If you want to play a wonderful performance, having a good touch will get twice the result with half the effort.

KJ is still the third player, breaking through like a god. In the end, he was interfered by Stone Buddha and Wolf King, and most of them were useless. If he wants to beat Bodiroga in terms of statistics, he has to wait for garbage time to start brushing.

Today, the Lakers are not going to give him such an opportunity.

Bodiloga asked him to call his name the whole time, and Wilson also asked him to call his name when he had the opportunity - anyway, whoever got the ball, his first target was to call KJ's name.

Before the third quarter was over, KJ committed five fouls and left the game. As soon as the fourth quarter came up, he was directly called out for his sixth foul.

However, Bodilloga scored a huge triple-double with 42 points, 17 rebounds and 13 assists in a tornado, leading the Lakers to a 2-0 lead.
