Chapter 165 Sweeping into the Western Conference Finals(2/2)

The suspension ended, and Millsap and Korver were both arranged to appear.

‘I’ll go, arrange these two great gods to play on the court, ask for guidance online, how should we guard against it?’ Li Tian looked up at the top of Staps.

"What are you doing?" Kobe asked.

"I'm asking God for help."

Jazz offense.

Deron and Millsap cooperated with the pick-and-roll and returned the ball to Millsap, and Walton stepped forward to defend.

Millsap passed Walton in one step, scored a layup.

He made contributions when he appeared, and he was worthy of being a great god in later generations.

After a few rounds, the Jazz had Millsap and Korver's outside restraint, and Kirilenko and Deron successfully scored several pick-and-rolls.

When Phil saw Walton chasing Millsap, he was a little troubled and immediately shouted Walton to the side of the dojo.

"You go to defend Korver, Millsap let Li go to defense." Walton nodded and agreed. It was indeed difficult for him to follow the defense.

When he came to Li Tian, ​​he whispered, "You come to defend Millsap, I go to defend Koval."

"No problem." I also want to challenge myself.

Walton was relieved when he heard the place agreed.

After a few rounds, at the end of the first quarter, Millsap, who was defended by Li Tian, ​​did not get a chance to take an easy move. Facing Li Tian's close-fitting defense, Millsap was still a little caught off guard and was a little messy to deal with it.

At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers led by 15 points with 18:33.

The Jazz, who scored a huge lead in the first quarter, fought back strongly in the second quarter, was hit by the Lakers' three-pointers from the outside, extinguishing the hope of counterattack.

The Lakers were suppressed throughout the game and the score difference was never close to two digits.

This game was smooth and the players cooperated smoothly. Oku was fouled by Gasol and Kobe in the fourth quarter, and he clocked in early and got off work, only 25 minutes of playing time.

It is also one of the important reasons why the Lakers win.

Although the Jazz's defense is good, the Lakers still hit 57%, while the Jazz only hit 44%.

The Lakers won easily again with 98:120.

Kobe scored 34 points in just 33 minutes, his efficiency was high, and his free throws were 11 of 12 shots; Fisher scored 4 of 5 shots from the outside, scoring 20 points; Gasol also scored 18 points;

Li Tian also scored 18 points; Odom scored 15 points and Vujasic scored 10 points.

The Jazz, who is a soldier in the nation, scored in double digits, and no one could stand up at the critical moment. This is their disadvantage. It is okay to win a game, but it is too difficult to win a series.

Two days later, the Lakers were visiting Salt Lake City.

The most glorious history of the Utah Jazz is that 97 and 98 have become the background board of the Chicago Bulls for two consecutive years and the background board of Jordan's deity.

After Jordan retired, he encountered the OK combination at his peak and failed again in the West, and he didn't even have the chance to touch the floor in the finals.

After Malone left, the Lakers formed F4 and the Utah two evil spirits fell apart. From then on, the Jazz fell into underestimation and struggled for many years before returning to the playoffs.

In Salt Lake City, the Jazz's first home game, the team fought to the death, but still failed to win the victory.

In the first half, the Jazz led by 5 points for the first time into the second half.

In the second half, Kobe turned into a God of War and played continuously at the basket; Walton and Li Tian frequently hit three-pointers from the outside to overturn the score difference. Since then, the Jazz have never been able to overtake the score again.

At 106:99, I rejoice at home again.

In the whole game, Kobe scored 34 points, Li Tian scored 20 points, Fisher and Gasol both scored 13 points, Walton scored 11 points, and the Lakers won another victory from Salt Lake City.

The Jazz team, who tried their best, played team basketball, and 5 players scored in double digits. Millsap, who performed well in the game, only scored 2 points in 15 minutes of playing time.

The playoffs are the stage for stars. Although the Jazz have four All-Stars, they are not the kind of players who can make a final decision at critical moments.

In the fourth game, the two teams tied at 108:108 in regular time.

During the overtime, Kobe and Li Tian stood up one after another, without giving the Jazz any chance.

Kobe made a series of fouls at the basket, causing Kirilenko to commit fouls at the basket and 6 fouls to leave the court.

The Jazz lost to Kirilenko, and there was a problem with their defense. Li Tian frequently ran out of three-pointers and made two three-pointers, which once again destroyed the Jazz's counterattack momentum.

At the end of the game, the Jazz generals were all in a state of dismay and left the stadium like walking corpses.

The fans kept yelling, and the Lakers players didn't care at all, celebrating the victory.

After winning this game, the Lakers swept 4:0 again and advanced to the Western Conference Finals strongly.

Both rounds of series were swept, making all media feel that this Lakers team will regain the prosperity of the OK dynasty.

Which team the Lakers will face in the next round has not appeared yet. Everyone originally thought that the Hornets would sweep the defending champion and advance to the Western Conference Finals strongly.

But it was surprising. Back to Santon Anio, the Hornets also lost two consecutive games, and the Spurs tied the score to 2:2.

This round of the series became blurred.

However, the Lakers still regard the Spurs as their opponent in the next round. With GDP and experienced Popovich, they are more optimistic about this defending champion.
