The Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Raptors in the first game of the second round, which was very much in line with everyone's expectations before the game, and the final score of this game also showed that the Lakers won this game, which is the most normal result for many fans. It can be said that it is also the most normal result of all four matchups in the second round so far.

This year's playoffs are very intense, and there is already such a trend in the first round, the first round of five series tie-breaks, which speaks for itself, and after the second round, this trend even has a tendency to double, in the first round, for most of the top teams, their first home game can be won, although in the end many of the top teams were dragged down, but it will definitely not be like the second round, once it comes out, Except for the Lakers who defended their home-court advantage, the other three matches, the first home game of the team lost.

The Timberwolves, the second in the West, lost 99-112 at home to the Spurs, who played the same as a dead dog in the first round, of course, at this time, everyone knows that the Spurs in the first round are obviously in order to train the young interior Dwight Howard who came to the team in the middle of the season, and deliberately made the situation, in the second round, the Timberwolves are not the Trail Blazers, if they still dare to hide their strength, then it will be a real tragedy, but it is obvious that the Timberwolves of the first game between the two sides are not too aware of this, Or for the extremely familiar Spurs, George Karl was prepared but still underestimated. In the end, it also led to a home loss.

In addition to the second-place Timberwolves in the West losing at home to the third-place Spurs Socks, the same was true for the two-round matchup in the East, where the Grizzlies, who were first in the East, lost 67-74 at home to the Boston Celtics.

The scariest thing about this game is not the victory or defeat of both teams. The scary thing is the hit rate of both teams. Neither of these teams has a shooting percentage of more than 30%. No player shot more than 40 percent from the field, which is a record in NBA playoff history.

In particular, the two superstars of this game, Carter and Maddy, combined for the whole game, scored a total of 42 points, which is somewhat incredible, but it also makes it clear what the theme of this series is, that is, extreme defense.

In the entire NBA, the Boston Celtics' defense doesn't have much to do in front of this team except that it can't kill the Lakers' offense. In the end, you can only fight offense like many teams against the Lakers, and you have to fight defense when you face the Celtics.

Of course, compared with the extreme defense of the Celtics and the Grizzlies, although in another game in the East, the Wizards, the second in the East, also lost on their home court, but there is no doubt that the game between the Wizards and the Knicks is definitely an offensive battle, which is the opposite of the Celtics and the Grizzlies, in this offensive battle, the Wizards who fought at home finally lost to the Knicks 111-122. The Wizards weren't able to play the best overall offense in this game, and were ultimately killed by O'Neal and Marbury's individual offense.

Four games. Three of the home teams lost, at the beginning of the second round of the NBA playoffs, this round of the series detonated the public opinion of the entire NBA, at this time there are even many people who have labeled the most fierce playoff matchup in history on this year's playoffs, but at this time the Lakers are still playing a triumphant song and easily defeating the opponent is naturally more than what makes this team look a little like the strongest team in history now.

And the day after the home defeat to the Raptors, the league announced the award for the best general manager of the season, and the Lakers' Mitch Kupchak won the award again, and last year with the credit for forming F6, the Lakers general manager was already the best general manager in the league, and this year, an O'Neal in exchange for the Lakers' three elders once again proved the Lakers' trading and operation right.

In this case, there is actually no doubt about the Lakers general manager's award as Zhuang Fei's best head coach, there is not much suspense before this award is awarded, and at this time, I am afraid that many people will envy the good luck of the Lakers general manager, after all, everyone knows that last year, the Lakers' F6 had little to do with him, and this year's O'Neal transaction also had little to do with him. It's just that if these people who envy Kupchak's good luck know Kupchak's status and experience in this Laker, I'm afraid they won't envy this person who has always been able to win the best general manager.

Of course, although he has become the general manager of the team in recent years, he has no real power as a general manager at all, but even so, the glory of being able to win the best head coach in the league still makes the Lakers veteran very excited, at least every time he comes to Zhuang Fei's office, Zhuang Fei can always see the smiling expression of the team's general manager, and this also makes Zhuang Fei feel a little funny.

Sometimes Zhuang Fei really doesn't like the fame and fortune of the general manager of the team, the general manager of the Lakers was able to fully reflect this when he united with the two little Buss to get rid of Jerry West, but although the desire for power is very heavy, but what makes people feel funny is that he was born in a team with the most serious power struggle, which dooms him to be impossible to fulfill his wishes, which is a person who makes people feel funny, but also a little pitiful and hateful.

Of course, Kupchak was very excited at this time, he naturally wouldn't notice any changes in Zhuang Fei's eyes when he looked at him, and for him personally, he didn't care about anyone's opinion at this time.

On May 11, 2005, the second game between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Memphis Raptors, although the Lakers were very happy in the last two days to become the first to defend the best general manager in history, Kupchak, but the playoffs between the Lakers and the Raptors are not over.

The Los Angeles Lakers beat the Raptors in their first game, not only winning against this team, but also using this team to regain the feeling of the game they lost because they had not played for a long time, so to speak, the Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Raptors on their home court in the first game. In the last game, it can be said that the Lakers achieved all the goals they wanted.

Of course. For a team like the Raptors. In the last game, because they had just played a tie-break with the SuperSonics two days ago, they were a little tired and not very well prepared at the same time.

The NBA playoffs are highly targeted games, and when one team has a targeted arrangement for another team, it is difficult for the opponent to fully exert its strength, and this game is the second game between the two sides, and the Raptors will naturally be more targeted, and because it is the second game, the Raptors will be better prepared. Therefore, this game is definitely much more difficult than the first game, after all, at this time, Raptors head coach Sam Mitchell will not be as aggressive and lose his cool as he did in the last game after being taught a lesson by Zhuang Fei.

The second game between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Raptors, before the game, more people are still optimistic about the Los Angeles Lakers, which is also a reality, and wants to make the style of play similar, but the Raptors, who are at a disadvantage in all aspects, are in front of the Lakers who have already played the game, and it is indeed difficult for this team to have too many achievements. They want to be able to fight and try to create some trouble and pressure for the Lakers. So let's see if we can find a counter-attack when we are at home.

It's just obvious that although the Raptors are prepared enough for the second game with the Lakers, and the targeted tactics are more, the trend of this game is not as good as the previous game, if the last game Raptors can still play with the Lakers in the first two quarters, but this game has been dominant since the first quarter, and the Lakers' game mode in this game is completely different from the last game.

"The strength of the Lakers is really strong" Seeing that the court was almost suppressed by the Lakers without any resistance at all, or there was a desire to resist, but there was no ability to resist the Raptors, Barkley on the commentary bench also wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and said, for the strength of the political Lakers, in his opinion, it is too terrible, especially in terms of offense, as a legendary player who has experienced the Jordan era, He even really thinks that this team is stronger than the Bulls back then, and maybe really is the strongest team in the history of the league.

"Yes, the Lakers are indeed strong, but the strength of the Lakers is not only in the strength of the players in this team, but in the infinite possibilities and infinite changes that this team has, no team dares to say that they can test all the basketball that the Lakers have when facing the Lakers, and the variability of this team makes it difficult for them to be beaten" Finally, after Barkley finished speaking, Kenny Smith also sighed and said, change, this is the biggest weapon of the Lakers now, This team that is constantly changing or changing is almost unpredictable for everyone, and if you can't even figure it out, how can you take the initiative to find a way to beat them?

The Raptors played very hard in this game, which is inevitable, after losing the first game, if they lose the second game again, although this is an away game, everyone knows that Coach Z's team has never lost the series after 2-0, so for the Raptors, if they want to win in this round of the series, they must find a way to beat the Lakers in the second game, otherwise this will basically declare the team out.

It's just that although the effort is hard, how can a way to beat Zhuang Fei be so easy to find, at least for this team, this game is a continuation of the previous game The Raptors have not been able to find a way to beat the Lakers.

"Damn"

Anthony looked at the Grant Hill in front of him helplessly, for him, these two games were really a little aggrieved, although the Lakers couldn't defend him, and he could even say that he never thought he would be defended by the opposing team, but there is no doubt that in the face of the Lakers' almost suffocating shooting percentage in these two games, the Raptors' leading player has always been unable to stay calm.

As the leader of this team is also the player with the most scoring ability, he needs to take the responsibility of scoring this team, in this case, he has a lot of requirements for his own scoring, but obviously, his shooting arrangement is far worse than the Lakers, in the first half of the first game, when Kwame Brown can easily grab the rebound in the front court, his requirements for shooting percentage are not so big, after all, even if he still does not score, is there still Kwame Brown? It's just that now, when Kwame Brown is entangled with Webber again, and the team doesn't have as many frontcourt rebounds, the shooting percentage requirement is a bit more stressful.

Anthony doesn't like to lose, he doesn't want to fall in front of the Lakers for his own reasons like he did last season, and in this case, he also hopes to change that through his own efforts, but after losing to the Lakers again in the last game because of him, the Raptors' mentality in this game has changed.

"I want a shooting percentage, I must raise the shooting percentage, I want to beat the Lakers" When I thought of this, Anthony, who was holding a basketball in his hand and didn't let go, suddenly felt that his back was empty, and the player he had just leaned on his side seemed to be no longer behind him, and when he thought of this, suddenly a figure next to him roared past and rushed towards the Raptors' half, Anthony fixed his eyes and saw that the player who rushed to the Raptors half court was Grant Hill, who was defending him, and at this time the basketball in his own hand was gone, Stolen.

A dunk, an unsurprisingly one-handed slam dunk, Hill easily completed the score.

And at this time, looking at Hill's back, Anthony was a little dazed, and the other Raptors players were also a little dazed, even at this time, the head coach of the Raptors, Sam Mitchell.

"The Lakers are very old and spicy, the Raptors are very young, this game is even worse than the last one, this team has a serious mental imbalance under the Lakers' crazy defensive counterattack, and the Raptors lost this game" Kenny Smith finally said a little helplessly.

In fact, the final result of this game was that the Raptors lost 100-131 to the Lakers away, and the Lakers also achieved a 2-0 score advantage. It can be said that one foot is in the next round.

It's just that for the Lakers, beating the Raptors to achieve a 2-0 score advantage may not be the best news, the day after beating the Raptors, the league announced the regular season MVP, and Kobe Bryant was very surprised and expected to win the regular season MVP.
