Chapter 828: S Convergence II

Eastern Conference Finals, Celtics vs. Pistons, Western Conference Finals, Warriors vs. Lakers.

Meeting the Lakers in the playoffs is the first time the Warriors have met in recent years, and the Warriors themselves do not have much grudge entanglement with the Lakers, but because of the O'Neal trade, the Lakers have been reported as a negative teaching material in the past two years.

In fact, Kupchak can't be blamed for this at all, when Yang Di was in the Heat, he hadn't shown his talent on the offensive end, and it seemed that the online line was at most a low-profile version of the big book. Who would have thought that Yang Di would actually progress like this later, and finally step into the ranks of the strongest in the alliance.

But no matter what, the Lakers' game against the Warriors has become the most watched event in the NBA at present.

On May 20, the Eastern Conference Finals between the Celtics and Pistons kicked off, while the Lakers and Warriors practiced at the Oracle Arena in Oakland.

The Celtics won the game 88-79 at home.

Paul Pearce scored a game-high 26 points, and Pau Gasol had 22 points and 14 rebounds.

At the end of the third quarter of the game, Celtics head coach Doug Rivers spoke to reporters on the sidelines. Speaking about why he scored 11 points in the third quarter, Doug Rivers said, "We controlled the pace of the game well, and the most important thing about us in the fourth quarter was to continue to control the pace of the game. Rivers was almost incessantly shouting "control the tempo" from the sidelines throughout the fourth quarter, and in fact, the Celtics did the same, and they controlled the outcome of the game.

On the evening of May 21, Oracle Arena.

Fans wore white jerseys to cheer on their home team, and the Lakers will wear their classic purple and gold jerseys for this game.

"It's a matchup between the 8th and the 24th."

Before the game started, the host was promoting such an argument.

Kobe Bryant and Yang Di, who is the first person in the league today? Or is it a direct dialogue between the controversial "first man" of the previous two years and the league's strongest supergiant that is now in the limelight?

In Yang Di's view, it is the highlight between the two S+.

Kobe's rating is one of the few in the league today with the same S+ level as Yang Di, and Kobe's offensive abilities tend to be at their peak and full value, and his strength is strong, not under Yang Di.

After the warm-up training of the two teams, the pre-opening ceremony began.

The Warriors players took the field one after another, receiving applause and cheers from the audience.

Warriors' starting lineup: Byron Davis, Ray Allen, Danny Granger, Jandy and Tyson Chandler.

Lakers starting lineup: Derrick Fisher, Kobe Bryant, Rademanovic, Kevin Garnett and Kwame Brown.

Tyson Chandler and Kwame Brown stand in the center circle and jump balls.

Tyson jumped to win Kwame Brown, and the audience cheered.

Byron Davis dribbled across the half court, Yang Di turned sideways to Kevin Garnett, Garnett came up, and as soon as they met, he immediately opened his mouth with broken thoughts and began to spit trash talk at Yang Di.

"You can't win this series, you can't win with me, and you can only play a rookie team like the Jazz."

Yang Di's counterattack was equally sharp: "The Jazz have proven themselves in the playoffs many times, you are the rookies, right?" ”

Garnett scolded: "A rookie like you knows what a rookie is, do you think it's great if you win two championships?" ”

Yang Di rolled his eyes suddenly, Garnett is a good person in his usual life, but when he comes to the arena, he is simply born to attract hatred, and a mouth is stinky.

Outside the three-point line, Byron Davis held out his fingers to direct the tactics.

Yang Di pushed Garnett away and ran out to the three-point line to block for Byron Davis, who quickly broke through with the help of Yang Di's cover.

The Lakers decisively wrapped up Byron with the ball.

As soon as Byron shook off Derek Fisher, he met Garnett, who was caught in the bag, Garnett's long arms were outstretched, and the defensive area was particularly large, with long arms and legs, and it felt like he was facing a spider-man.

Byron retracted the momentum of the breakthrough and originally wanted to take advantage of this gap to pass to Yang Di, but he was still recognized by Garnett, Garnett quickly retreated, and when Byron passed the ball to Yang Di, Yang Di actually did not occupy much of a breakthrough or shooting offensive advantage, and faced Garnett one-on-one in the mid-range position.

The fans are clamoring, and the fans want to see the heads-up images of the top stars, which is the main theme that has not changed for the ages.

The Lakers shrank their formation, except for Kobe, who had to defend Ray Allen, who was still staring at Ray Allen, the rest were all around, and Yang Di took the ball and dotted it in the air.

Garnett was unmoved, holding his breath to observe Yang Di's movements.

Three threats, Yang Di landed directly with his right hand and broke through, Garnett blocked with both arms, and collided with Yang Di directly with a "bang".

That terrifying force exploded, Rao is an interior player with good strength in the NBA like Garnett, and he couldn't bear it at all, and was knocked out of the way by Yang Di.

Fortunately, at this time, the Lakers' bag also arrived, and Yang Di could only jump and cross with the overall situation and hand it to Danny Granger, who was 45 degrees vacant on the weak side.

Granger made a three-pointer jumper and made a jumper in front of Radmanovic's defense.

"Bell!"

The cheers of the fans stopped abruptly, and they thought that Danny Granger would hit, but they didn't expect the unguarded shot to go wide.

Under the basket, Yang Di and Garnett huddled together, Garnett gritted his teeth and resisted Yang Di's card position stubbornly, and the rebound flew to the other side, Kwame Brown and Tyson Chandler grabbed together, and neither of them grabbed the rebound.

A purple figure rushed over and snatched the rebound before the two took off for the second time.

"Attack!"

Bryant waved his hand and loudly reminded his teammates to dribble forward.

The Lakers are the least fast-break team in the entire league, their tempo is much slower than the Warriors, but their offense is always very good, and the offensive efficiency of positional battles can rank first in the league.

After Derrick Fisher received the ball, he pretended to direct the movement of the other Lakers players.

Kobe Bryant fell to the low post to single out Ray Allen, and Garnett moved to the weak side and took away Yang Di, who was the strongest defensive player on the Warriors, and Yang Di turned his head to look at Kobe Bryant, looking like a tiger.

"Bang!"

The two star scorers of the Class of '96 began to compete, and Kobe Bryant seemed to have more power than Ray Allen, crashing into Ray Allen and grinding into it some distance.

Before entering the paint area, Yang Di was not ready to move over to assist in the defense.

Kobe Bryant's shoulders trembled, pretending to turn over and break through the jump shot to the baseline, but suddenly he made a mistake, but he took a breakthrough in front of the basket, jumped a step and made a direct jump shot, and Ray Allen jumped up to interfere.

The two are of similar height and in the same position, and Ray Allen defends well, covering Bryant's eyes with his palm.

Kobe Bryant was unmoved, raised his arm, and gently pulled the ball out with his ten fingers.

"Huh!"

Hollow into the net.
