For the next period of time, the Thunder have been resting their energy and waiting for the end of the series between the Spurs and the Lakers.

The final result was not as Yang Fan expected, that was that the Lakers defeated the Spurs with a big score of 4:2 and successfully entered the Western Conference Finals.

A new round of fighting with the Thunder will be launched in the Western Conference Finals.

Fans would not be surprised that these two teams could meet in the Western Conference Finals.

Because before the playoffs started, the Lakers and the Thunder were the two most optimistic Western Conference teams in the world.

To be precise, the defending champion Lakers have been regarded as the most powerful champion contender of the season since the beginning of the season.

The Thunder, relying on their excellent team abilities in the regular season, stood on the same starting line as the Lakers.

Therefore, this round of the series can be regarded as the peak battle of this season.

Even the Eastern Conference also has many teams such as the Cavaliers, Magic, Celtics and Hawks with excellent record and strength.

But as the No. 1 in the league this season and the Lakers are the defending champion this season, the halo of these two teams is definitely incomparable to other teams.

At least the ratings can prove everything. This round of series has not started yet, but the number of times you booked online to watch the game has reached more than 1 million clicks.

From this point of view, it is not difficult to see how much the fans are looking forward to this series.

…………………

May 16.

The first game between the Thunder and the Lakers in the Western Conference Finals will be held at the Ford Center Arena.

In fact, the Lakers' lineup has not changed much this season. The biggest change is that Ariza has become Artest.

In theory, this can be called a reinforcement.

After all, Artest, who is just over thirty years old, is much better than Ariza, who is 24 years old. At least there is still some gap between the two in their role on the defensive end.

In addition, the Lakers also lost Sun Yue, the hero who won the championship last season!!

This may be considered bad news for the Lakers, because it means that when Kobe is out of the game, he will not be able to drink a glass of cold water as soon as possible.

After his teammates scored a goal, the Lakers' bench also lacked a crazy swaying towel atmosphere group.

I have to say that Sun Dasheng's departure is definitely a big loss for the Lakers this season...

At least the Lakers in the post-Sun Yue era are indeed difficult to move forward, and their record is even worse, and they still won a few fewer wins than last season!!

"Guys, I know everyone is very excited, but I hope you don't be nervous. You just need to show our usual strength in the field."

"Because the Lakers are nothing great, don't forget, we are the number one in the regular season!"

"And in my opinion, the Lakers are just occupying a more favorable market. If we fight with real swords and guns, we can definitely press him to the ground and rub him wildly."

Yang Fan said slightly relaxedly before the game in the home team's locker room.

"The coach is right. Don't forget that I am also a player from this Lakers. I also won three championships for them, so there is nothing amazing on the opponent."

"At least after I left, the Lakers were so dismal that they only got into a championship trophy." Following the words of head coach Yang Fan, O'Neal also said with disdain.

Sure enough, after hearing O'Neal and Yang Fan's words, many young players in the Thunder breathed a sigh of relief.

Especially O'Neal's words made people feel more relaxed.

Yes, so what if the Lakers were the defending champion last season, so what if they had Kobe Bryant!!

After leaving O'Neal, he only won a championship trophy. Thinking of this, when the halo of the Lakers faded, it seemed that this team really had nothing to be respected.

………

After the game began, as the Thunder starters came on the court, the home fans instantly burst into deafening calls.

Especially when Durant walked into the court slowly, it attracted the screams of many female fans!!

That's right, Durant has now become a popular star in the league, although Durant has a strong atmosphere of a contractor.

And it has always been called "Diaosi Du", but there are also many female fans who like him at present.

According to rumors, someone invited Durant to drink his feet...

Pooh!

It is to express your willingness to drink Durant's foot wash!!

Well...yes, that's it!

After the start, the Lakers' starting lineup was Fisher, Kobe, Artest, Gasol, and Bynum.

The Thunder are Curry, "Martial Saint" Jackson, Durant, Ibaka and O'Neal.

In this game, Yang Fan sent a double tower lineup in the inside to match the Lakers' inside.

After all, although the star of this Lakers is Kobe Bryant, the real terrifying thing is the dominance that the two towers can play.

This season, Gasol can average 18 points, 11 rebounds and 3 assists per game, while Bynum also has 15 points, 8 rebounds and 1.5 blocks.

When the Lakers' inside double towers are on the court at the same time, the Lakers can beat their opponents by 9.7 points per 100 rounds.

So Yang Fan has to pay attention to this point. At least Jamison can no longer be placed in the starting lineup, otherwise he will definitely be beaten to autism by Gasol.

Although Gasol has always been nicknamed "Sister-in-law" by Lakers fans, he has always joked that Gasol's style of play is not tough enough.

But this is only compared to the top power forward. If you encounter Jamison, then Gasol will show you every minute!!

The Lakers were the first to get the ball as soon as the game started. On the offensive end, the Lakers still made a familiar triangular offense without making any adjustments.

This is completely within Yang Fan's expectations, because the Lakers head coach is "Zen Master" Jackson, a coach who is very obsessed with triangle offense.

For Jackson, you can lose the game, but you don’t need a triangle attack. Sorry, that won’t work!!

In fact, the tactic of triangular offense is simple, it can be said to be very simple, and it is also very complicated.

Because this tactic also emphasizes equality for everyone when it can help stars create one-on-one singles opportunities as much as possible.

Everyone can move back and forth between the two triangles on the left and right sides, waiting for an opportunity to make a lot of mobile phones out.

Many people in later generations have discussed this, saying that although the triangular offensive helped Michael Jordan, he helped him cross the mountain of the Bad Boys Legion.

But at the same time, this tactic also restricted Michael Jordan, making him unable to play a complete singles alone alone, and comfortably scored 40 or 50.

But no matter what, the triangle offense is indeed a worthwhile tactic for top offensive stars like Kobe and Michael Jordan.

As the others were all pulled apart, Kobe held the ball in the right horn position, and Yang Fan did not arrange players to double-team. After all, this is the essence of the triangle offense.

Once a player doubles the ball, Kobe can quickly transfer the ball and create a large number of mobile phone opportunities.

So what Yang Fan chose was to resolutely defend Kobe alone, and then the two teams let go of the offensive end to fight for bayonets.
Chapter completed!
