April 30, Ako Stadium.

G3 was played at the Kings' home court. In this game, the Kings' offensive broke out. In addition to the starter Weber, Jason Williams and Divac, the starting players, the bench also showed the style of the bench gang.

Stoyakovic scored 22 points and became the surprise soldier of the Kings.

But the Lakers' three-point shooting was a blacksmith, and the defense standards were very strict, so the Lakers could not get any benefits in defense.

The score was 114 to 109, and the Lakers lost the Kings by 5 points, and the score was tied 1 to 2.

May 2, Ako Stadium.

In the G4 game, the Lakers did not give the Kings any chance. On defense, they locked the penalty area, blocked the 2-point line, and made three-pointers. The Kings failed to kill anyone with a three-point shot.

On the offense, the Lakers' three-pointer instead opened, plus the offense and defense dominated by the inside.

The score was 112-98, and the Lakers defeated the Kings 14 points, and advanced to the semi-finals with a score of 3-1.

By the way, the Suns have already advanced first. In the first three games, the Suns have no Kidd and the Spurs have no Duncan, so they are still anxious.

Led by David Robinson, the Spurs fell 1-2.

There is no way, the Admiral is so magical. He is not very capable of leading the team in the playoffs, let alone now he is 35 years old.

Kidd returned in the fourth game, quickly ended the battle, and also advanced with a score of 3-1.

In other matches, the Trail Blazers 3-1 Timberwolves, the Jazz and the Supersonics played 5, and with the Devils' home court, they laughed to the end of the game.

...

Staples Center Staples Stadium on May 7, Los Angeles.

In the second round of the 99/00 playoffs, the Lakers VS Suns played at the Lakers' home court.

After a simple appearance and warm-up, the starting lineup of both sides was played on the big screen of the arena.

The Lakers' five players, Billups, Kobe, Bowen, Big Ben, and O'Neal.

The Suns started with 5 Tigers, Kidd, Hardaway, Marion, Clifford Robinson, and Longley.

Beep ~

With the sound of whistles, the basketball flew into the sky, and the game started with the competition.

O'Neal defeated Longley to get the Lakers' first offense.

Billups dribbled to the frontcourt, observed it, and immediately found the direction of the attack.

Don't ask, asking is attacking the inside.

O'Neal's personal offense is unsolvable, and the Suns' inside are not strong.

Bang —!

Longley was knocked away, O'Neal turned around, faced the pincer attack, and quickly passed the ball out.

Bowen received the ball, jumped up, raised his hand and shot the three-pointer...

Marion swept back, it was too late.

Bang-!

His hands were a little cold, and Bao Wen's only offensive method was not effective.

Da Ben roared, jumped up, and took the basketball that was struck out of the iron.

After being attacked and having no room for re-subjection, he immediately threw the basketball out.

Kobe received the ball, made a three-point jump shot...

Bang-!

"The Lakers' three-pointer still failed to hit.

This shot feels so bad!" Mike Bryn shook his head and said.

The fans at the scene also booed.

They don't want to watch the iron symphony.

Li Mu's face turned calm because the rebounding was still from the Lakers, and O'Neal grabbed the rebound.

He bumped into the basket with a bang, and a one-handed dunk, knocking the basketball into the basket.

0 to 2!!

In the first round, the Lakers showed their absolute crushing strength in the inside.

It was the Suns at this time, and Tom Gugliotta was reimbursed.

This gave Suns head coach Skeles a headache.

Now that the Suns want to defeat the Lakers, they can only compete for the outside attack.

On the field.

Kidd took the ball to the frontcourt and was taken a step further by Billups.

Ji's shooting ability is not attacking and cannot kill the game.

This is the consensus of the league, and Billups defends comfortably.

Kidd's style of play is very stable, and he does not rush to attack, but looks for opportunities bit by bit.

However, after 15 seconds of the game, the Suns still couldn't find a good opportunity.

Or there are bad opportunities in the interior and many three-pointers.

This is what the Lakers gave, not what the Suns or Kidd wanted.

The Lakers' defensive tactics are still O'Neal in the penalty area, and Da Ben is responsible for sweeping.

Billups, Kobe and Bowen used their mobility to block the 2-point line.

"In defense of the Lakers, this is to keep the Suns away from the basket." Mavs Albert analyzed.

This way the Suns will be uncomfortable.

Kidd did not try to use an unreliable three-point shot, but instead played a high pick-and-roll with Clifford Robinson.

Robinson has a mid-range shot and three-pointer, and he has reached a high position. The Lakers must not ignore it, right?

As a result, the Lakers' defensive formation remains unchanged.

In front of the Suns, either the Suns would kill the Lakers with a three-pointer, or the Suns would attack and attack the Lakers' strong defense.

After pick-and-roll tactics, Robinson received the ball and made a jump shot...

On the outside, Kobe stretched out his hand and made a simple interference.

Bang-!

Clifford Robinson failed to make the ball.

The rebound was taken by O'Neal, and the ball was quickly passed to Billups.

Kobe and Bowen rushed up like two sharp blades.

Kidd saw through the Lakers' offensive intentions at a glance, and used the defense from the league ceiling to interrupt Billups' offensive rhythm.

If you can't fight a fast attack, you can slowly push the positional battle.

The Lakers have O'Neal, a big killer weapon, which can attack quickly or slow.

In the frontcourt, the Suns were defending around the front and cut off O'Neal's catch.

Billups suddenly drew the ball and made a three-pointer.

The Suns choose to be the money, so they can only let go of the outside, and the opportunity is for the Lakers.

Bang-!

Billups' three-pointer was not reliable either.

"At the beginning of the game, the two sides started a battle.

However, the Lakers are open-minded.

The rebound was grabbed by Kobe, and he was re-dragged, twisted his waist, jumped up, and was stuck in the air. He was going to bet on a three-point shot again!"

Swish—!

Who would have thought that Kobe's three-pointer would actually have?

0 to 5!!

Li Mu nodded and only played two rounds, feeling that the Lakers were stable.

In defense, the Lakers controlled the basket, the penalty area, and the 2-point area.

The Lakers have no problems with offense, rebounds, close range, and three-pointers.

The Suns lost multiple games, what are they going to fight against the Lakers?

Of course, the game is not counting, it depends on the performance on the field.
