In the second round of the playoffs, the game on the court has begun.

The situation is obviously extremely favorable to the Trail Blazers. The Spurs' lineup still has the same problem, and it is too aging.

This is not the kind of aging that is joking, but really too old, especially for the Admiral. His current role on the court is less than one-third of what he was at his peak.

Big Ben played a crucial role tonight. He really couldn't defend O'Neal alone, but facing Duncan, who is much smaller than O'Neal, his individual defense ability played a big role.

In addition, David Robinson was in poor condition, and Rasheed could help Ben in defense from time to time, so Duncan was also playing extremely uncomfortable on the court.

The Spurs' perimeter lineup is undoubtedly quite old.

Elliott, who was originally traded to the Trail Blazers, will definitely return to the embrace of Popovich and become the Spurs' starting small forward.

Smith, who was acquired from the Trail Blazers, and the young general who fainted after being beaten by Artest last season.

The combined age of these three veterans must be at least a hundred years old...

It can be seen how outrageous the Spurs' lineup is, and there is absolutely nothing that can be done about it. Even if the Spurs have some financial resources, they will definitely not be able to create such a deformed lineup.

"Whoa!"

"Whoa!"

Payton on the outside of the Trail Blazers hit two consecutive three-pointers, which directly opened the point difference between the two sides to more than ten points.

Popovich on the sidelines could only sigh secretly. He actually knew that the Spurs' current lineup had almost no hope of winning the championship, but he must still be lucky.

But now that he has seen the powerful fighting power of the Trail Blazers, his original luck has disappeared.

This is just the Trail Blazers. If you know that the Grizzlies and Lakers are recognized to be stronger than the Trail Blazers, wouldn't they be even more difficult to deal with?

There were a total of seven games in the second round of the playoffs. As a result, the Trail Blazers won four games in a row, eliminated the Spurs, and directly obtained a ticket to the Western Conference Finals.

The Spurs were swept out, which actually exceeded many people's expectations.

In the eyes of all parties, although the Trail Blazers are strong, they are not so strong as to be ridiculous.

After carefully studying the Blazers' operations this year, experts found that since Payton arrived, the Blazers have directly triggered qualitative changes.

Payton's joining has indeed raised the Blazers' strength to a higher level, and Jiang Dongbing knows this better than anyone.

If it weren't for Payton, it might not be that easy for the Trail Blazers to face the Spurs.

Of course, you can definitely win, but it is absolutely impossible to sweep it all.

Payton is simply too strong, especially his extra exquisite three-point shot, which makes it difficult for opponents to guard against him.

At the post-match press conference, Jiang Dongbing was all smiles.

Now that they have passed the Spurs, they are actually infinitely close to the championship. It can even be said that they have won the championship.

The only variable is probably the Lakers. If they can defeat the Grizzlies, there will be more variables in the Trail Blazers' road to the championship.

However, this situation is obviously unlikely. No matter how stupid Mike Dunleavy is, he will not lose to the Lakers with a lineup like the Grizzlies.

The Lakers' strength this year is actually not as good as last season. The main reason is that Glenn Rice in their team has left. They lack a strong point on the forward and defensive lines, so their strength has naturally declined.

"Coach Jiang, congratulations on getting your tickets to the Western Conference Finals."

"Are you confident of winning the championship this season?" A reporter was given the opportunity to ask a question.

Jiang Dongbing nodded solemnly, "Of course, since I came to the Trail Blazers, my only purpose is to win the championship."

"I have full confidence to win the championship this season. No matter who the opponent is, the final champion will definitely be our Blazers."

"What if it's a grizzly bear? Do you have the confidence to defeat the grizzly bear that you created with your own hands?" the reporter asked curiously.

Because in their view, the Grizzlies built by Jiang Dongbing are completely invincible and a team that no one can defeat.

Judging from the current state of the Trail Blazers, although they are very strong, they are obviously still far from invincible.

"Of course, the Grizzlies are a team I built."

"I know the Grizzlies' weaknesses better than anyone else. If the opponent we face in the Western Conference Finals is the Grizzlies, I think the final winner will definitely be us!" Jiang Dongbing said with confidence.

These words directly made the headlines that day. The former coach said that he would definitely win against his old club. This made Dunleavy, who was determined to win the championship this season, very dissatisfied.

In his opinion, the Grizzlies were indeed built by Jiang Dongbing, but now the Grizzlies are his own team. In his eyes, the Grizzlies have no weaknesses at all. The Blazers are definitely no match for the Grizzlies!

…

In the game against the Lakers, the Grizzlies almost won the game, eliminating the Lakers with a score of 4:1.

For a team like the Lakers, when O'Neal and Kobe show off, no one knows what will happen.

Jiang Dongbing was so happy that he could even announce to the outside world that he had won the championship!

In the Western Conference Finals, the first game this time is Vancouver's home court.

During the regular season, Jiang Dongbing also led the Trail Blazers to the Grizzlies home court twice, and each time he received a warm welcome from the fans.

This time is of course no exception.

Even though Jiang Dongbing left the Grizzlies, fans still have not forgotten the glory Jiang Dongbing brought them.

Not only the fans, but also the Grizzlies generals happily ran to Jiang Dongbing and started chatting after the players from both sides entered the stadium.

"Coach, at the press conference two days ago, you said you were very confident that you could kill us."

"Is it true?" Jackson asked with a smile.

Jiang Dongbing nodded, "Of course it's true. I created your team. Who knows you better than me?"

"That's definitely true, coach, but do you really think our Grizzlies still have weaknesses?" Jackson continued to ask unbelievingly.

In Jackson's view, the Grizzlies are a flawless team with no flaws, how could there be any weaknesses.

"Just wait and see, you young people are still too arrogant."

"This series may make you take a good look at yourselves." Jiang Dongbing said with a serious face.

Mike Dunleavy was sitting on the bench, looking a little embarrassed, because all his core players were now running to the other side's head coach.

As a result, his head coach is like a polished commander, with no sense of presence at all.

After joining the Grizzlies, Grizzlies fans didn't really approve of his new coach.

So Dunleavy has been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. He wants to kill Jiang Dongbing in the playoffs and prove that he can achieve an invincible record with a lineup like the Grizzlies.

…

The game on the court has started. Jiang Dongbing called up the system and directly initialized Xiao Ao's attributes.

The reason why he targeted Xiao Ao was because Jiang Dongbing actually still wanted Xiao Ao to work for him.

Now that O'Neill has signed a maximum salary contract with the team, if his performance in this series is extremely poor and his performance at the start of next season is poor, the Grizzlies are very likely to trade him away.

If Jiang Dongbing supports Rasheed in trading Ou, the Grizzlies have no reason to refuse the deal.
