Chapter 1937 An Ordinary Sweep of the Little Genius

The statistics in the first game were only 14 points, 8 assists and 6 rebounds, which was mediocre. It seemed to be somewhat different from the big-name stars who scored 30+ points in the first round, and it also seemed to be different from the characters who dominated almost all the lists in the regular season. Some discrepancies.

However, no one doubts that Ji Feng is a star in the regular season. After all, Ji Feng only played 20 minutes in half of the first game. Contributing such data has proven his strength. After all, even if you give Jordan such a short time, he can't Do better, after all, it’s hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice.

And more fans are lamenting that the first round of the playoffs is really not challenging for the Lakers and Ji Feng.

"Starting from the 2007-2008 season, the Lakers have swept their opponents in the first round of the playoffs in four seasons. Their 16-game winning streak is also the first-round winning streak record in NBA history. After tonight, this record has been extended to 17 games, and the Lakers won this game very easily. 12 people from the team played and 12 people scored. They didn't even need Ji Feng to play in the third quarter. Such a gap in strength makes it hard to believe that the Jazz have a chance to take advantage of Ji Feng. Win even one victory." Barkley's words after the game were heartbreaking.

After hearing these words, Jazz fans want to punch someone!

However, it was difficult for them to find a reason to refute. In the first game, the Jazz played hard. They wanted to use zone defense to limit the Lakers' breakthrough from the beginning. This proved that they used three days to study a lot of tactics to deal with it, but it was a pity. , their zone defense only lasted less than one quarter before it collapsed under the powerful attack of Ji Feng and Kobe Bryant.

The person responsible for defending Ji Feng is Hayward. This trustworthy man who can compete for the ranking of handsome men in NBA history played in the playoffs for the first time, and then he was given the important task of guarding Ji Feng.

It's just that Ji Feng taught in the first half of the game. Hayward came back with 5 fouls in the half. He was almost beaten by Ji Feng at a huge cost, but he was still beaten mercilessly by Ji Feng.

When he was replaced, the dull look on his face made Barkley a little bit unbearable: "They shouldn't let a rookie be responsible for guarding Ji Feng. This is too cruel for him."

But this is the current situation of the Jazz. Their ability to enter the playoffs has actually exceeded the expectations of most fans. They lost Boozer and Okur last season, as well as the veteran coach who has worked with the team for decades. Long wanted to retain Deron, the core point guard. However, Deron did not say goodbye this season. He first went to Europe, and after the lockout ended, he fell out with the Jazz when he returned to the NBA, and eventually left for the East.

At the same time, Russian AK47 Kirilenko also returned to Russia, ending his eleven-year NBA career.

This also means that the Jazz Double Shame 2.0 era is completely over, and the Jazz has entered a period of reconstruction.

It's just that their new coach was very smart to correct Millsap, who had performed well before, and paired it with the traded Devin Hasler and Josh Smith. It turned out to be extremely useful, coupled with the unexpected growth of rookie Hayward. , the Jazz, a team considered to be a strong contender for the league's vice squad leader this season, counterattacked all the way from 12th to ninth, and miraculously completed the last five games to surpass the Rockets and enter the playoffs.

However, this is already their limit. This lineup has won 34 games, which is more than 20 fewer wins than the Lakers. This speaks volumes.

On May 2, the Lakers will continue to face the Jazz at home.

The Jazz made adjustments in this game. Josh Howard was responsible for guarding Ji Feng. In the starting lineup, Favors replaced Devin Harris, who did not perform well in the first game, as the starter.

The Jazz seem to be on the verge of ruin!

However, as the lights at Staples went out one by one, all the attention was attracted by Ji Feng, who led the Lakers players on the court.

Ji Feng, Kobe, Artest, Gasol, Bynum.

The familiar Five Tigers of Death from the Lakers actually appeared at such a moment.

This is the Lakers' second game in this year's playoffs. In Ji Feng's words, the Lakers can't hold back in this game. As the saying goes, if you go all out in one go, you will lose three times, winning the first game is nothing. If you lose the game, the home field advantage will be gone.

So Zen Master waved his hand, and the Five Tigers of the Lakers appeared on the stage.

The Jazz players are almost crying. This is different from what he prepared before the game. Are you still reasonable? Do you have to change even if you win? You don't follow martial ethics!

So facing the overwhelming Lakers, the Jazz surrendered after risking their lives to resist the first three quarters.

Not bad, I resisted for three quarters.

The score actually reached 19 points in the first half, but Jackson still allowed the Lakers to play the entire three quarters, mainly to find their status for the next game. After all, the playoffs have just begun.

No, brother, listen to me, it’s really not about brushing up data, nor is it about winning 40 points, we are not so superficial!

The Jazz head coach has ‘believe’ written all over his face…

128-88, a perfect 40-point victory. The Lakers suffered another tragedy, posting the largest point difference in the playoffs so far.

Ji Feng had 23 points, 10 assists, 8 rebounds and 3 steals. All statistics were much better than in the first game. He made 9 of 11 shots, which was no longer accurate. Of course, the playing time was still only 25 minutes.

But Ji Feng was very happy. In the first round, he was supposed to help his teammates get into shape, but it was not yet time for him to exert his strength.

On May 4th, the Jazz, who were defeated two games in a row by the Lakers, returned to their home court, but the result remained unchanged.

118-100, the Jazz successfully maintained the point difference within 20 points!

Millsap also got his first 25+12 in the playoffs!

However, seven Lakers players scored in double figures. Ji Feng scored his first triple-double in the playoffs this season with 20 points, 10 assists and 11 rebounds. Kobe Bryant made 8 of 8 shots and scored 16 points. This may be the most comfortable game of his career. .

Many fans who watched this game complained: Is this really the playoffs?

What about the promised strength?

The Jazz are also very desperate. To increase the intensity, the two teams must be close in strength, but the distance between them and the Lakers is really too far!

Millsap, the guy who had finally been the core, was beaten to the point of being autistic. He now has some experience of the mood of those guys who cut down the crowd. When he plays well or poorly, he can't change the outcome of the game. This feeling It's really too grassy.

By the fourth game, Millsap, who was full of confidence before the start of the playoffs, was already thinking about going fishing there.

It’s not that I don’t work hard, but my enemy is too perverted!

109-102, the first round of the playoffs between the Lakers and Jazz came to an end. The Jazz managed to save some face in the last game, but the Lakers were too relaxed, but the result still did not change.

4-0!

The Lakers advanced to the second round of the playoffs first.

The unbeaten season continues in the first round of the playoffs.

"Maybe I really am an ordinary little genius who sweeps away."
