Chapter 1314 No Suspense, Reaching the Western Conference Finals

"Dayao has always been my role model. He taught me a lot when I first entered the NBA. His spirit has always inspired me to move forward. He is the best senior and elder brother. I am very sorry for his injury. It's regrettable and sad, but because we firmly believe that he will return to this court, all we have to do now is to wait patiently." Ji Feng responded to a reporter who asked him if he was wearing the No. 11 wristband at the post-match press conference. He replied to express his respect for Dayao.

The reporters at the scene nodded frequently, and many Chinese reporters had red eyes. It was obvious that Ji Feng was sincere and there was no flattery. Judging from Ji Feng's performance on and off the field, Ji Feng and Dayao Needless to say, my feelings.

Just like Su Qun said after the game; "Ji Feng could not have done these things, because injuries are part of the game, and as an opponent, Ji Feng has done everything he can, but life is more than basketball. And Ji Feng’s behavior proves that he has the same characteristics as the Ji Feng I know, he is affectionate, righteous and responsible, and he is a real man.”

Ji Feng then left the arena with the team without much celebration. However, while others were going to the airport, Ji Feng rushed to the hospital where Dayao lived. Also accompanying Ji Feng was Sun Yue. This guy was also very It was uncomfortable. According to him, this was the first time he felt unhappy after winning a game.

Accompanied by the staff, the two drove to the hospital for 30 minutes. After chatting with Dayao for 40 minutes at the hospital, they left. The content of the conversation was unknown, but the expressions on Ji Feng and Sun Yue's faces after they came out were still surprising. of.

That's right, although Dayao was seriously injured in the ward and could not hide the regret of being reimbursed for the season on his face, there was still hope in his eyes. Fortunately in the misfortune, because of Ji Feng's reminder and the decisive test by Rockets doctor Jones, The condition of Dayao's left foot was discovered in advance, which allowed Dayao to avoid a series of troubles that he encountered due to forced playing. Therefore, this injury can still be recovered. Although the recovery period is still long, as long as careful treatment, Dayao's career can still be saved.

This also made Ji Feng and his two brothers feel a lot more relaxed. In any case, being able to continue their careers is the best news for all athletes.

(In reality, Dayao chose to continue competing because he did not check the condition of his foot immediately. Therefore, he sprained his ankle again during the game and left the game. Only then did he discover a stress fracture and took conservative treatment to no avail. The surgery was performed just now, which is also considered to be one of the reasons for Dayao's retirement. Here I will make up for this regret. As for why I still write about Dayao's injury, firstly, it is to respect history, and secondly, it is the return of the king. This scene is definitely the masterpiece of Dayao’s career. It would be a pity not to take a photo of it.)

…

After watching Dayao, Ji Feng and Sun Yue returned to Los Angeles on their own. At this time, the media also began to report on this seemingly very different game.

In addition to Ji Feng, five Lakers players scored in double figures in this game. Kobe Bryant had 21 points and 4 assists, Bynum had 16 points and 8 rebounds, Gasol had 15 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks, and Farmar had 11 points.

The Rockets had only three players, Brooks with 20 points, Scola with 15 points, Artest with 14 points, and only Battier who contributed 8 points and Landry with 6 points.

The average playing time of the Lakers team is only 30 minutes, and no one in the starting lineup exceeds 35 minutes. Their shooting percentage is over 50%. They have 14 more rebounds than the Rockets, 8 more free throws, and 4 fewer turnovers. In a word, Dayao is missing. The Rockets and Lakers are not teams of the same level.

After this game, the Lakers took a 3-1 lead and were only one step away from the Western Conference Finals. Game 5 will return to Los Angeles and officially start on May 13.

However, regardless of the result of Game 5, the Lakers will not be the first team to advance, because later on the 12th, the fourth game between the Cavaliers and Hawks continued in Atlanta. The Cavaliers had already won 3- With a 0 lead, a spot in the Eastern Conference Finals has almost been determined, so this game is regarded as a battle of honor for the Eagles.

However, the Hawks are really poor in this series. Although Joe Johnson averaged 22.4 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 3.2 assists in this series, it does not change the fact that he is weak. As a leader, the Eagle King, He just barely qualified, and his performance was not outstanding.

What's even softer is Josh Smith, who directly confronts James. Regardless of his height, weight or physical fitness, Josh Smith actually has the ability to confront Lao James head-on. Needless to say, James' physical confrontation is understandable. Everyone knows it, but Josh Smith is not bad either. He is 206 centimeters tall, weighs more than 240 pounds, and has won the dunk king. At first glance, he looks like an absolute macho man. Moreover, Josh has extremely strong shot-blocking ability and defensive ability. He's not weak either, he has good court vision, and his passing ability isn't bad either. Generally, a guy like this should play extremely aggressively.

However, Josh Smith's playing style is really hard to describe. His poor shot selection and enthusiasm for mid-to-long-range shots are really hard to understand. He turned out to be a guy who is unwilling to fight, coupled with his hard-to-speak long-range shooting. Literally, he was basically pressed to the ground and rubbed by Lao Zhan.

In this round of the series, Lao Zhan encountered no difficulty in playing him. He averaged 30.1 points, 9 rebounds and 8.2 assists per game, with a shooting percentage of over 50%. He played so easily in front of him.

After Josh Smith performed poorly in the previous games, he made a classic 4-for-18 shooting in this fourth game and scored 14 points.

This performance made Yuan Ben's performance average. James, who scored 26 points on 7 of 22 shots, was much taller.

The two core Eagle Kings were given away, and the Cavaliers naturally won without a fight, 87-74. The Cavaliers won another away game, eliminating the Eagles with a total score of 4-0, and took the lead in entering the Eastern Conference Finals!

The Cavaliers have also become the team that remains undefeated in the playoffs so far this season, 8-0. Now Cleveland has begun to look forward to its opponents in the finals.

The Lakers did not let the fans wait too long. On the night of the 13th, the Lakers faced the Rockets again at home. The disastrous defeat in the previous game obviously affected the Rockets' confidence. In this game, they overall seemed to lack confidence.

The successive injuries to the generals greatly damaged their confidence, and they were lost amid the purple and gold at Staples.

"Artest, Artest dribbles, the Rockets have not scored for 4 minutes, they continue to score to stop the decline, oh! No! Artest made a dribbling error and was intercepted by Ji Feng, the Lakers' third-line fast break, Ji Feng dunked with one arm !”

"15-0, the Lakers hit a super climax in the opening game!"

The game lost all suspense almost from the first minute. The camera swept over and all that could be seen on the faces of the Rockets players was confusion.

This state made the game lose its suspense early, and it only took half a quarter for the Lakers to determine their victory.

The score was fixed at 113-80, the final whistle sounded, and Ji Feng was lying in the middle of the field again.

Western Conference Finals, here I go again!
