Chapter 493: The Los Angeles Twins

The battle on May 5th completely pushed Ji Guosha to the position of the league's superstar, and when the little fox entered the best team and the defensive team, he should actually have such a status. But the white people have always discriminated against the attitude of the yellow race, so that they only recognize the superstar status of Brother Panda, but instead use this to belittle Ji Guosha, thinking that he hugged his brother's thigh, this battle can be regarded as his own name.

After the game between the Clippers and the Rockets, the Cleveland Cavaliers sat at home and played the first game of the Eastern Conference semifinals with the Atlanta Hawks.

In the end, the Cavaliers beat the Hawks 99-72 at home to get off to a flying start, leading the Hawks 1-0 overall.

At the critical moment, Mo. Williams stepped up and hit a three-pointer from the outside to stabilize the morale of the military, and then James scored six points on consecutive free throws, and the Cavaliers made the score 15-15.

James, who was back in the game, stepped up again. Consecutive free throws helped the team stabilize their position, but one person still couldn't parry the Eagles' counterattack, Eagle King Smith scored three consecutive attacks, Bibby fired from the outside, and the Eagles instantly narrowed the score gap to 4 points.

At halftime, the Cavaliers still led the Hawks 49-44.

Since then, the Hawks have been unable to narrow the score, James can stand up and score at every critical moment, and 3 minutes and 17 seconds before the end, the Cavaliers rewrote the score to 96:75, and the Hawks are gone.

Then both sides replaced all the starting generals, and the game went into so-called garbage time, and finally the Cavaliers defeated the Hawks 102-80.

Eagle: Josh. Smith had 24 points and 6 rebounds. Bibby 20 points and 8 assists, Joe. Johnson had 15 points and six assists.

Cavaliers: LeBron. James 34 points, 10 rebounds and 4 steals. Williams 21 points, DeLonge. West had 13 points and nine assists.

In the post-game press conference, an old topic came back into focus: will James leave the Cavaliers in 2010?

This season, the Cavaliers had the best record in team history in the regular season, advanced to the playoffs as the Eastern Conference boss, and defeated the Bulls in Brand's absence, and are considered the favorites to win the championship.

American media have reported that one of the main reasons why James is hesitant to stay with the Cavaliers is that he is worried that the Cavaliers are not strong enough to win the championship. So now, after the team has strengthened, has James made up his mind to stay with the Cavaliers?

When asked by reporters, James still gave a vague answer, which is also his attitude to his own questions this season.

James said: "Even if I win the championship, it doesn't mean that my mission is done. It's not going to be a good job in six or seven years, it's a long way and I want to be a better player, a role model for society, a good father, a good teammate and a good friend, and I have a lot to do. ”

The Little Emperor finished second in the MVP vote this season, unfortunately losing to Ji Guoqiu, a red giant panda, who is even more perverted this year.

"Why do you keep asking this question, I really don't really value individual awards, panda did a good job this year, but the championship is the most important award for me." James said this, of course, the tone was sour, and the gorilla hadn't won the MVP yet.

James signed a contract extension with the Cavaliers in 2006, and in 2010 he could choose to jump out of the contract and become a free agent, including the New Jersey Nets, New York Knicks, Houston Rockets, Detroit Pistons and many other teams are interested in chasing James in 2010, and even the Clippers occasionally make noise, because they still have close to 30 million salary space, and it is no problem to sign James. But if that's the case, Popovich is expected to join the Zen master to boycott the game, and this Nima will not let people play?

"I still have a lot of goals to achieve, six years have passed quickly, I haven't had time to look back, now I care more about the team's performance, personal results and the renewal of the contract in the summer, it is not important to me for the time being." James's emphasis always has a bit of a desire to cover it up.

On May 6, the Lakers challenged the Spurs, who are second in the West, in San Antonio, which was also a key battle.

It was the first playoff time the two teams had met since 2004, when Fisher's 0.4-second final strike left the Spurs devastated the Spurs, but the Lakers failed to win the championship that year. Since then, with the departure of O'Neill. The Lakers are starting to go downhill. Only last year was he back in the ranks of title contenders.

The Spurs have won two championships in the three years that the Lakers have been silent, and the two teams have won seven championships in nine years, and their encounters are interesting.

Before the game, Lakers legend Jerry Brown. West said in an interview with the media: James is the best player in the NBA at the moment, and he has surpassed the Lakers' star Kobe Bryant, although Kobe Bryant has been on the All-Star team 14 times.

West used the words he had about Kobe Bryant when he was the general manager of the Lakers to send it to James. And this is probably the highest evaluation of a basketball player in the world. "James could be the next Jordan in the league." West said.

"When I watch Cavaliers games, I always ask myself: How many games would the Cavaliers have won without James? If you know the answer, you know how good James is, and he definitely has a chance to compete for the honor of being the best athlete in the entire basketball world, and he should be the MVP. West added.

West served as general manager of the Lakers in 1995 and general manager of the Grizzlies in 2004. He said: "Mike. Jordan is the best defensive player in the league, and he's also the best offensive player. This is not an accident of the year, he has already been verified by history. James definitely has a chance to reach the same heights as Jordan because he's still getting better and better, and he's slowly becoming a more efficient pitcher. When he can shoot the ball from the outside. No one could stop him. Because he was so tall and too strong. It's too fast, too. He's got incredible control of his body, and he's also a very team player. ”

The Lakers eliminated the Hornets with a total score of 4-1 in the first round to advance, and the excellent play of Kobe, Davis and Gasol was an important reason for the team's pass, and of course, Chandler's defensive role on the interior cannot be ignored. Coming home to Spurs today, they are hungry to win a good start to the second round; The Spurs are an old powerhouse, they also knocked out arch-rivals Mavericks 4-1 in the first round, and they will be looking to grab a big win to snatch the jackpot today.

Although the Spurs finished ahead of the Lakers in the regular season and had home-court advantage, there is no doubt that more people are optimistic about the Lakers, and the Purple and Gold have always been more favorable.

After the opening, the Lakers won back-to-back games to start the game with an 8-0 run. The Spurs didn't get into the groove for a long time, and the old guys rested for nearly a week, obviously not getting warm. Popovich called a timeout, but after the timeout, the Spurs still missed consecutive shots, and they played nearly five minutes in the first quarter before Parker hit his first shot.

Ginobili started to stir up the game after he came on, he and Parker continued to score from the outside, the two hit two three-pointers in the first quarter, Ginobili scored 10 points, Parker also scored 10 points, and the Spurs quickly exceeded the score, leading 28-24 in the first quarter.

Halfway through the second quarter, the Lakers relied on Kobe Bryant's consecutive singles to overtake the score 36-35, but the Spurs launched a three-point attack, Jamison and Finley hit three-pointers in a row, Ginobili also "hit a four-pointer", and the Spurs played 10-0 to regain the advantage at 45-36.

The Lakers closed the gap at the end of the quarter with Gasol's interior attack, trailing 46-51 in the first half.

In the first half, the Lakers didn't play with their pace and were unsuccessful defending from the outside. However, after the start of the second half, Byron. Davis pulled up the Lakers' pace. In the middle of the quarter, Kobe Bryant ran without the ball and scored consecutive shots, while Davis stole Parker successfully and made a basket himself, and then Odom hit a three-point shot, and the Lakers went on a 13-0 run to go ahead 64:57.

The Spurs called a timeout during this period, but they still couldn't stop the Lakers' offense, and the Lakers won 29-17 in the quarter, Kobe Bryant alone scored 11 points, and the Lakers went ahead 76-68 after three quarters.

In the fourth quarter, the Lakers were firmly in control of the situation, and the Spurs had nothing to do with them. In the middle of the quarter, Bryant used the breakaway to make three consecutive layups, and after one person went on a 6-2 run, the Lakers led by 11 points at 93:82.

Jamison also hit a three-pointer, but it was only a drop in the bucket, and Davis and Kobe Bryant scored back-to-back baskets to give the Lakers a 13-2 run to take a 19-point advantage at 106-87 with 1:11 left in the game.

The two teams failed to score after that, and the Lakers won by a big win on the road.

Spurs big man Tim. Duncan had eight points and 10 rebounds on just 2-of-8 shooting, while Ginobili scored 17 points in the first half, but he deserved four points in the second half. Tony. Parker scored 25 points, continuing the outstanding performance of this playoffs, and Jamison had 19 points and eight rebounds.

Bryant. Bryan had 32 points, eight assists and five rebounds, Gasol had 19 points, seven rebounds and two blocks. Davis 20 points and 7 assists, Odom 14 points and 8 rebounds, Tyson. Chandler 8 points and 12 rebounds, Jordan. Famar 10 points. (To be continued......) R1292
