On May 22, Staples Center Stadium.

The second game of the Western Conference Finals in the 199/00 season was played at home at the Lakers.

If the table is not broken, there is no reason to replace it. Li Mu ranked five starting players, Billups, Kobe, Bowen, Big Ben, and O'Neal.

On the Trail Blazers, the starting five tigers remain unchanged, point guard Stoudemire, point guard Smith, small forward Pippen, power forward Rashid, and center Sabonis.

Beep ~

With the sound of whistles, the basketball flew into the sky.

O'Neal and Sabonis looked up and jumped up almost at the same time.

Bang-!

Sabonis laughed to the end and scored the first offensive for the Trail Blazers.

Stoudemire took advantage of the chaos to play fast attacks, accelerated and broke through, and his height of 1.78 meters was misplaced by anyone.

Using speed, easily tear the Lakers' defense line, and make a small throw in the penalty area...

Swish—!

Kobe and Da Ben retreated quickly and still couldn't stop him.

Little Flying Mouse gives him space, and the offensive firepower is so awesome.

2 to 0!!

Looking back, Billups beat Stoudemire on his back.

By the way, in the last game, O'Neal almost broke the Trail Blazers.

He will definitely place heavy troops on his defense.

The Trail Blazers' forward line is invincible, and the point guard and center positions are all flaws.

Don't think about hitting Stoudemire.

Step by step, it hits the stomach and hits the shooting sweet spot. Before the Trail Blazers' assisted defense was closed, they immediately turned around and jumped back and made a jump shot...

Stoudemire's jump was good, but he couldn't reach it at all.

Swish—!

Billups hit two points.

The characteristics of good at playing basketball are fully demonstrated.

2 to 2!!

Trail Blazers offense.

Stoudemire tried to break through and was forced back by Kobe and Billups.

O'Neal was in the penalty area, swept the ball around himself, and three outsiders locked the two-point area, forcing the offensive opponent to stay away from the shooting.

This is the Lakers' special defensive ability. To put it bluntly, it is just to be a turtle.

By the way, being a turtle is not that easy to be.

The Lakers' lineup is very good.

Stoudemire has no room for breakthrough at all.

If it were the regular season, he would probably bet on the three-point shooting feel.

Now that he is in the Western Conference Finals, he decided to make a steady move.

There is no offensive opportunity, so I pass the ball to Pippen and play superstar basketball.

Seeing that Bowen ignored his three-pointer, he hit him with his back, and was assisted by Kobe.

Pippen continued to transfer the ball and played very patiently.

Bang-!

One hit to the ground and give the ball to the low position on the left.

When approaching the bottom corner, it is difficult for the Lakers to defend the joint defense and it is impossible for a person to run out of the bottom line.

Rashid took a step towards the bottom line, completely blocking the Lakers' joint defense tactics.

He fought with a one-on-one big book, turned over and leaned back and jumped to make a jump shot...

The advantage of body separation, the abnormal wingspan, the slight tilt, the top of the big body, and the defensive skills gradually become stronger, and there is still no use for birds.

This is Rashid's unique skill, and Yao Ming will not be blocked.

Swish—!

"Beautiful, blending the body and skills together, Rashid's roar after scoring the goal is understandable.

Because, this ball is so handsome, I have to celebrate it." Mike Brynn explained with a smile.

"Next, let's see the Lakers' offense.

Not that troublesome.

By the way.

Send the basketball to O'Neal.

Bang-!

Bump away, turn around, get up, score...

O'Neal's physical talent is so dominant."

To be honest, he can't withstand his flexibility in tonnage.

The tonnage and flexibility are blocked, and O'Neal can also eat with his height.

If the first three are blocked, O'Neal can still play with technology.

if……

No, no if.

Because, that is not scientific, not human.

The Trail Blazers attacked and seemed to feel good tonight.

Stoudemire broke through, a back-to-back pass, Smith received the ball, jumped up, and made a three-pointer...

Steve Smith is an All-Star Scoreman.

The Lakers shrink and Kobe wants to save and block it, but it is too late.

Swish—!

At its peak, he averaged 20+4+4 per game and had excellent offensive ability.

Even though he came to the Trail Blazers this season, his ball rights have been reduced a lot, and he still averaged 15 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists per game.

If such a star is out, the Lakers are completely playing with fire.

As a result, the Lakers were asked for Ren and got Ren, and were hit by the Trail Blazers' three-pointer.

When the Lakers attacked, Stoudemire showed his toughness and did not hesitate to physically intertwined him, interrupting Billups' back hit.

Plus Pippen emptied Bowen and rushed over to help defend.

Billuplin couldn't beat the Trail Blazers' point guard position, and it was difficult for O'Neal to catch the ball.

Kobe stood up.

He started running back and played the off-ball tactic.

Back on the left, the Trail Blazers' defense has been taken away.

Billups passed the ball like a scalpel, Kobe received the ball, raised it, and made a move to shoot.

When Rashid's defense center of gravity moved, Kobe quickly collected the ball and rushed to the basket.

Boom--!

With a one-handed dunk, Kobe knocked the basketball into the basket.

At this time, the Lakers' offense has never been just O'Neal.

Meyerbrin shook his head and said with a smile, "In Adelman's words, there are two bottles of poison in front of him, either O'Neal or Kobe.

For the Trail Blazers, the point guard is Stoudemire, who loses the defensively.

This poison is equivalent to selling two for free.

The Trail Blazers can't stop the Lakers' offense."

If the defense can't be stopped, then fight for the offense.

Off the field, Dunleavy's face was calm.

In terms of lineup, the Trail Blazers, which reasonably spend more money, have the advantage.
