I don’t know if it’s because the Spurs were officially warned by the league after the Lakers appealed.
Before the start of G4, the Spurs did not commit crimes against the wind and continued to use off-board moves to influence Lakers players.
The Lakers can play normally and have nothing to fear.
After the game officially started, the Lakers quickly took advantage of a more solid and stronger lineup.
The Spurs had to play tougher, dirtier defense and constantly tease Lakers players on the court at the edge of the rules.
It can be regarded as a hammer. More than 7 minutes into the second quarter, Malone opened a hole in the corner of Horry's eyebrow.
There is no concussion protection mechanism these days, otherwise Horry would definitely not be able to continue playing on the court.
Fortunately, before the fight at the Palace of Auburn Hills broke out, the league had a relatively broad standard for evaluating criminals.
Since Horry was not carried directly off and could still play on the court, it is relatively reasonable that Malone only received a first-level flagrant foul.
It was also through this bloodshed that Malone relied on the notoriety he had accumulated for twenty years to continue to frighten the villains Popovich specially raised to do dirty work.
Unable to use role players to replace the Lakers' star players, the Spurs could only watch the Lakers take away the G4 victory.
101 to 87, the Lakers defeated the Spurs by 14 points in Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals and returned to Los Angeles with match point in advance.
Time soon came to the evening of May 29, and the G5 game between the Lakers and Spurs started again at the Staples Center.
Also because they returned to the Lakers' home court, Kobe and others finally didn't have to be as careful as they did in the away game.
The Spurs players also had a premonition that they would be eliminated by the Lakers tonight, so they basically didn't make much defensive moves.
In this way, it will be relatively simple for the Lakers to advance to the finals.
Just like when the Lakers won the game before, the Lakers didn't need to use dirty tricks to win the game with dignity based on their own strength.
Relying on Fisher, Kobe, Duane, Malone, and O'Neal, they scored 8 points, 26 points, 23 points, 13 points, and 25 points respectively.
The Lakers' starting lineup scored 95 points together, and the team scored 113 points. They easily defeated the Spurs and advanced to the finals.
After the game, Du En was ready to celebrate and go home to reward himself.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Duncan came to the door.
Of course, Duncan first hugged O'Neal and had an intimate conversation with them.
Then he chatted with Kobe for a few more words, and then it was Duane's turn.
Although NBA culture is not great, it still pays attention to inheritance.
Duncan met James in the playoffs for the first time and encouraged James.
Now when meeting Du En, although Du En is the winner, Duncan still has to be a good teacher.
"Hey, brother, you're playing really well. It's a pleasure to play and compete with you.
I like you and the way you play with your teammates, I like your attitude when playing, and I hope you can continue to do so.
I hope I can fight you again at this time next year, but next time I believe I can make a comeback and beat you, and you guys.
However, I must first congratulate you. Now the victory belongs to you, keep up the good work!
Don't be timid, be brave, and keep fighting.
Go and win the championship that belongs to you!
I will support you in San Antonio next season, see you next season! "
Before Duncan spoke, Du En thought that Duncan was going to say that classic line.
It can only be said that the Lakers swept the Spurs gentleman, causing Duncan to be unable to say this to Duan.
"Tim, as long as the Lakers have me, Shaq, and Kobe, it will be difficult for you to beat us!
However, I also hope that you can make a comeback, and I want to face stronger opponents.
Isn’t that the charm of basketball?
Solve the regrets in your heart with challenges again and again.
Use hard work again and again to pursue the elusive dream!
I believe that you will make us feel pressured next season!
Fighting against you will make me stronger! I look forward to playing with you again next season! "
Seeing that Duncan could afford to lose, Duan was willing to chat with Duncan a little more. Although the Spurs were dirty, Duncan's character was still fine.
Just like the notorious Pistons Bad Boys, there is a Sportsmanship Award spokesperson like Joe Dumars.
After being pulled out of his hair by Duncan, Dunn quickly returned to the locker room and prepared to wash his hair first to avoid going from sudden shooting to baldness like Ginobili did.
However, when he returned to the locker room, he saw that members of the Lakers uniform team had been waiting here for a long time.
"Dunn, put on the Western Conference championship jersey and this hat!
We are going to play again, and next is our moment of honor!
Why are you still standing there? The fans are still expecting us to win the Western Conference Championship Trophy! "
Bass Jr. represented Bass Sr. and took command in the locker room. Seeing that a rookie like Du En was confused and didn't know anything, he explained it to Du En.
To fans, the overall runner-up is the biggest loser.
For the team, even for a giant like the Lakers, the division championship is an honor worthy of special mention!
Not to mention, the team uniforms and baseball caps participating in the Western Conference Championship Award Ceremony can once again stimulate Lakers fans, making them spend a lot of money to buy and collect team uniforms and baseball caps, making the Lakers make a lot of money.
Because there is no Magic Cup these days, the Western Conference championship award ceremony is not as complicated as the championship award ceremony.
Therefore, by the time O'Neal and Kobe win the Western Conference Championship trophy together, tonight's process will basically be over.
However, what Du En didn't expect was that there would be an unexpected surprise tonight.
[Congratulations on helping the Los Angeles Lakers win the 27th NBA Western Conference championship in team history as a starting player for the Los Angeles Lakers in the 2003-04 NBA season.
Achieved the NBA Western Conference Championship achievement.
Get an NBA Western Conference Champion Player Template Lucky Draw opportunity. Do you want to be lucky enough? 】
"It's directly the Western Conference champion player template. Isn't it divided into role player champions, starting player champions, and dominant player champions?
Does this mean that if you are unlucky, you will still get a junk player template?
However, this lottery was not in my plan in the first place! "
Having received the lottery opportunity to be a Western Conference champion player template, Duan did not worry about gains and losses.
Some time ago, Du En was still digesting the aunt template, and the finals are about to start. It will be difficult for Du En to digest it if he has another player template.
In fact, with Du En's current strength, the help of ordinary All-Star templates to Du En is extremely limited.
So, don’t worry so much, just let nature take its course.
After packing his things in the locker room, Du En quickly drove home, preparing to fast and take a bath before going to bed, trying to improve his character and draw a better template.
However, halfway home, Duan's cell phone rang.
Looking at the caller ID, who else could it be but good brother Anthony?
"Brother, you're not really going to win the championship, are you?"
"Melon, I'm already the Western Conference champion!
By the way, have you ever thought about it? Syracuse University has not had an NCAA championship in its 100 years of existence, but I will have one when I come here!
After I left, the Syracuse Orangemen were gone again. What did you say happened? "
Duane joked with Anthony.
Anthony heard this and said angrily: "I admit, you may be a little better than me now!
But before in Syracuse Orange, you were not as strong as you are now!
It was obviously me who led you to win the championship. This is a fact. You have to admit it! "
"Okay, okay, don't be angry. If there is a chance in the future, I will help you win the championship. That's alright!"
Because he was still driving, Du En did not continue chatting with Anthony.
But just after hanging up the phone with Anthony, Wade's call came not long after.
Then Bosh and others came to celebrate Du En reaching the finals.
"Oh, look at my damn charm!"
