Chapter 669 The Semi-Final Match Is Finally Released

When the award was announced, the Lakers training room also became a sea of ​​joy, Kupchak also sent a congratulatory call, and even the old Buss came to the locker room after training to express his congratulations to them.

This is the third award the Lakers have won this season, and it is also the most important award. The best defensive player, the best rookie, and the best coach have been won by a unified team. This is the first time in history.

This has undoubtedly greatly deepened the reputation of the Lakers. Can Old Buss be unhappy?

Now the important awards are just short of the final MVP. If Kobe can get it as he wishes, then the Lakers will achieve a sweep of awards this season~!

However, the MVP announcement will not be announced until the second round, so the Lakers will have to wait a little longer.

After the awards are announced, the most important thing is undoubtedly who the opponent in the Western Conference semifinals will be.

And on the day the awards were announced, on the night of May 2, the next opponent of the Lakers was finally confirmed, and that was the Jazz predicted by the Lakers!

Although the Rockets beat the Jazz 95-69 at their home on the night of April 30, tying the total score to 2-3, the Rockets in desperation still did their best.

The three armed forces used their lives to complete a 12-player rotation, and everyone scored points. McGrady scored 29 points, 5 assists and 5 rebounds on 13 of 26 points.

But in the sixth game between the Rockets and the Jazz on the night of May 2, the Jazz who returned to the home court did not give the Rockets another chance, 113-91, a clean victory, with a total score of 4-2 to eliminate the Rockets and enter the Western Conference semi-finals. finals!

The Jazz also became the third Western Conference team to reach the semifinals.

After the game, the regrets of the Rockets generals were evident, and McGrady was even more unwilling. This is completely understandable. After all, they played very well at the beginning of the season, and they also created the longest 21 consecutive games in team history in the latter part of the season. Victory, and in the end, they kept their top four positions in the Western Conference without Dayao. Unfortunately, they still failed to break through the curse of the first round, and unfortunately stopped in the first round.

Ji Feng also immediately sent condolence text messages to McGrady and Dayao. Seriously, the Rockets are really good this season. If Dayao comes back, or if the inside line is not Uncle Mu, who is in his 40s, they may go further. , Unfortunately, injuries are fiercer than tigers.

What is even more frightening is that the famous combination of Dayao and McGrady is no longer young, and their opportunities are getting fewer and fewer.

However, the Rockets still won respect. After all, they are pure single-core, and it is amazing enough to be able to play this way when they are behind 0-2. After all, the opposite is the Jazz who are extremely restrained in their style.

And that night, the NBA also took advantage of the opportunity to announce the time of the first Western Conference semifinals between the Lakers and the Jazz. They will shoot the first shot of the semifinals at Staples on May 5!

The Spurs had already defeated the Suns on the 30th of last month, becoming the second team to reach the semifinals after the Lakers, 92-87, a seemingly close score.

The 5-point advantage does not seem to be much, but those who have watched the game know that these 5 points are like a moat. Although the Suns played very hard, they could not continue to expand the score. This score has been maintained since the first quarter. For four full quarters, the sun did not overtake once, which is a very desperate thing.

The Spurs' defense showed its power and made everyone realize what a playoff-level Spurs defense is. He let the Suns' main scoring points, Nash, Stoudemire, and O'Neal all score no more than 15 points. It is not surprising that the Suns failed. .

In fact, this failure is already doomed. From the desperate attempt to trade Marion for O'Neal, the gorgeous running and shooting Suns no longer exist. Next season, the Suns are bound to rebuild. It is reported that D'Antoni has considered resigning. Without the helm, the future of the sun is foggy.

Following the pace of the Jazz, the match between the Hornets and the Mavericks, which ended later, was also decided on the 3rd day. The Hornets defeated the Mavericks 99-94 at home and entered the Western Conference semifinals with a total score of 4-1. Will play against the old-fashioned Spurs.

The Mavericks and Suns were both out, which also made countless fans feel embarrassed. The two kings who dominated the league a few years ago are now on the verge of rebuilding, and the league structure is about to be rewritten.

So far, the four semifinal teams in the Western Conference have all been confirmed, and they are:

Los Angeles Lakers vs. Utah Jazz, San Antonio Spurs vs. New Orleans Hornets!

The Western Conference was the first to be released, while the Eastern Conference was still chaotic. Only the Magic was the first to break out of the four groups of matchups.

After taking a 3-1 lead, the Magic who returned home easily defeated the Raptors 102-92 and advanced to the next round with a score of 4-1. The Raptors did not cause any trouble for the Magic on the whole, and Howard's interior dominance was too high , Bosh can not limit him, after all, Bosh is more suitable to play the 4th position rather than the 5th big center.

The Raptors lacked a genuine center, which allowed Howard to play with ease. The giant double-double of 21 points and 21 rebounds in the last game said it all.

After that, on May 3, the Cavaliers also successfully broke through. James scored a triple-double of 31 points, 13 rebounds and 13 assists in front of his hometown elders. 88. The Cavaliers won fairly easily, 4-2, and the Cavaliers advanced smoothly.

Followed by the Pistons, they woke up after a 2-2 tie with the 76, and then won two consecutive games and limited their opponents to 80 points or less, which is brutal, but it also matches the strength. Contrast and people's expectations.

The Pistons will face the Magic in the semifinals.

The most surprising thing is the Celtics in the Celtics. After they easily won the Eagles 110-85 at home to take a 3-2 lead, everyone thought that they would solve their opponents in 6 games. After all, in terms of strength and configuration, the green The army simply won, and everyone just thought they looked down on their opponents to be beaten like this. Didn't the Pistons win very smoothly next door?

But the eagle taught everyone who looked down on them a profound lesson, and let everyone know that they are definitely not fish belly, but real hard goods!

At home they had a bloody battle with the Green Army for 4 quarters. When the first quarter was scored 20-32, they frantically played 30-18 in the second quarter to tie the score, and then completed an amazing last minute in the last quarter. The three-point lore!

The Eagles beat the Green Army again at home to tie the total score at 3-3!

This also means that the first tiebreaker in the playoffs this season turned out to be the first in the East and the eighth in the East!

Eagle World War I Conferred God!

Under such adversity, they played so bloody that Ji Feng, who was watching the game, cheered them on without realizing it. Although the three giants of the Green Army scored 60 points together, the Eagles' starting 5 scored all double-doubles, and the final 6 scored. Doubles will keep the victory in Atlanta!

This battle left everyone shocked and speechless. Could it be that the legendary Black Eight is coming again? !

This is too fucking crazy, the Mavericks were just hacked last season, isn't the division champion poisonous!

"Eagle is awesome, I'll give you a thumbs up if you can really win..." Ji Feng said while looking at the TV, where there were all the eagle generals who were celebrating wildly.

But Ji Feng couldn't see this game. They will play on May 5 at the same time as the semi-finals, so Ji Feng can only cheer for the Eagles in his heart.
