Now the Trail Blazers and the Lakers have a 1:2 score, and the Lakers are temporarily leading by one win.

It seems that this group of duels has little to do with the Grizzlies. No matter who advances, he may not be a match for the Grizzlies, but Jiang Dongbing has a headache.

The main reason is that the Lakers are now somewhat different from those under normal circumstances.

Under normal circumstances, the Lakers have already fired Rodman, but now the playoffs have started, and Rodman is still in the Lakers team, and the Lakers have no intention of termination of Rodman's contract.

Jiang Dongbing didn't know if it was because of his own reasons, but he only knew that this matter was extremely difficult now.

If nothing unexpected happens, it should be no big problem for the Lakers to kill the Trail Blazers. The Grizzlies will meet the Lakers in the Western Conference semi-finals next.

Jiang Dongbing is now worried that he will capsize in his gutter and lose to the Lakers who have Rodman.

If Rodman doesn't consider his performance off the court, he is actually a very dedicated player. In the classic NBA saves, there will definitely be a place where Rodman flies to save the ball in parallel.

As long as he is on the court, he can tilt all his energy out, grab the board and defend frantically.

"Jiang, the Lakers advanced, they killed the Trail Blazers 3:1." Stewart walked into Jiang Dongbing's office and informed Jiang Dongbing of the Western Conference playoffs.

"I understand, Mr. Jackson." Jiang Dongbing nodded.

"What's wrong? Are you worried that we will lose to the Lakers?" Stewart couldn't help asking when he saw Jiang Dongbing's face full of sorrow.

Jiang Dongbing nodded silently. He was really worried about this matter now. He finally got to this point and didn't want to be intercepted by the Lakers.

Stewart smiled and waved his hand, "No need to worry too much, you've done it perfectly enough this season."

"Even if we really lose to the Lakers in the Western Conference semifinals, the boss can actually accept it. We are an extremely young team. Players like Jackson and Miller still have three years of rookie contracts and have a lot of opportunities in the future."

"So, don't put too much pressure on yourself, just do your best."

Jiang Dongbing smiled bitterly, and the bosses McCaugh and Stewart were optimistic, as if they didn't think about winning the championship at all.

Maybe it's a habit of weak chickens. Now even if the Grizzlies have the record of being the first in the league, they dare not expect too much to win the championship.

And McCaw's idea is also very simple. The Grizzlies are an extremely young team now. If they don't win the championship this year, they still have a great chance to win the championship next year, and there will be no need to do so.

Even as long as the Grizzlies can stabilize their current box office appeal, McCaw feels that even if he doesn't win the championship, it's actually no big deal.

"Mr. Jackson, do you think the Clippers can sell David Tyron to us?" Jiang Dongbing suddenly asked a strange question.

Stewart was silent. He didn't know why Jiang Dongbing suddenly had such an idea in his mind.

"Jiang, there is nothing impossible in this league. As long as you give a player of any team, as long as the chips you give are high enough, it is impossible for you to not get a hand." Stewart talked happily.

"But what do we want David Tyron to do? I don't think he is better than Miller."

Jiang Dongbing shook his head. In fact, starting from next season, this league will become the Lakers' world, to be precise, O'Neal's world, and this situation will last for at least several years.

Jiang Dongbing felt very insecure when he did not have a player who could compete with O'Neal head-on.

In his mind, there is probably only one David Tyrone in this league who can really say that he has the potential to confront O'Neal head-on.

Although Da Ben has also performed on the court with O'Neal alone, his defense effect is not good, and he often needs teammates to help defend.

Anyway, Jiang Dongbing couldn't think of any player in his mind that could defend O'Neal alone at his peak. At least there was no such player in the league and in the next 199 draft.

David Taylon can be said to be the only choice, so Jiang Dongbing naturally put his ideas on David.

However, in Stewart's opinion, although David's performance improved a little in the second half of the season, he was not sure how talented he was. He averaged only 14 points and 7.8 rebounds per game in the entire season, which is not very bad, but compared to his draft prospects, it must be considered relatively poor.

The most important thing is that David Tyron often makes some very low-level mistakes in the game, which also disappoints those who are optimistic about David.

If Stewart really wants to choose, he would rather have Miller than consider David.

After all, Miller still has a strong ability to pass the ball at the basket, which David does not have at all.

Jiang Dongbing did not refute Stewart's statement, because there was no need for this. Judging from the current performance of the two, Miller is indeed better than David.

But that was just because David had not undergone further training from his own. If David was under his command, his focus might have improved a lot, and if his strength reached the limit, he would definitely have the ability to compete with O'Neal.

...

Two days later, the Western Conference semi-finals started at the Grizzlies' home court.

The scene was full of fans, and the attendance rate directly broke the Grizzlies' team history record. Teams like the Grizzlies that have just been established for a few years will definitely be easily broken.

O'Neal's appearance caused a burst of cheers at the scene. As the most popular center player in the league, Vancouver also has many O'Neal fans.

O'Neal also waved his hand to greet the fans on the scene, with a smile on his face.

"Defend the opponent's outside line well, be sure to guard well, and show your strongest defense!"

"We have all reached this point now, and we must not relax our vigilance. Believe me, the Lakers are definitely our biggest opponent on the road to winning the championship!"

Jiang Dongbing was afraid that the players would underestimate the Lakers' strength, so he repeatedly told the players to cheer up before the game.

Jackson and other new players are very excited at this moment and want the game to start immediately.

"Dududu!"

The competition officially begins!

At the beginning of the game, O'Neal directly showed his dominant strength at the basket, and beat Miller two in a row, successfully scoring four points to score.

The Grizzlies' two shots at the beginning, but they all missed, and the situation was a bit unfavorable.

Judging from the situation, Miller is obviously not O'Neal's opponent, and his defense does not pose a great threat to the peak O'Neal.

As time passed by minute by minute, the sad face on Jiang Dongbing's face became stronger and stronger.

The Grizzlies' outside feel is quite bad tonight, and O's offensive end is also invisible under Rodman's crazy defense.
