The Lakers or Spurs have appeared on this stage eight of the past nine Western Conference Finals, and the O'Brien Trophy has been awarded to these two great teams seven times in the last nine years. in the bag. At the same time, the lineups of both sides are also changing with each passing day. Looking back at the last dialogue between the two teams in the Western Conference Finals, in 2000, the veterans of the Lakers lineup also included guards Derek Fisher and Kobe Bryant. They face old faces like Tim Duncan and Bruce Bowen from the Spurs. The Spurs' two guards, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili, have grown rapidly in the past few years. Los Angeles and the Lakers' other playoff meetings were in 1999, 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004. (That's the last nine years, including any time in the playoffs). In these conversations, the Lakers won in 2001, 2002 and 2004. In 2001 and 2002, they had the last laugh and won the championship. In 2004, the Lakers also reached the finals stage. , but they were defeated by the Pistons in the finals and missed the championship. Xiaoyu, Kobe and Duncan have experienced these five encounters. Parker and Bowen began to witness the dialogue between the two teams in 2001, while Ginobili began to win glory for the Spurs in 2003. In that year, he already played a key role. During the regular season, the Lakers and Spurs met four times a day, and the result was a 2-2 tie. In other words, judging from the regular season record, the two teams are evenly matched (PS, the record against the Hornets is exactly the same 2-2). The first game: Spurs 107-92 at home. Lakers. In the regular season, the Lakers were It was the team with the second most points, but Bruce Bowen restricted Kobe very well. In this game, Kobe only scored 18 points and hit nine of 19 shots. The most frightening thing is that Bowen completely blocked the game. Blocking Kobe's shot from beyond the three-point line, Kobe took five shots from beyond the three-point line but failed to hit any of them. Bowen not only made outstanding contributions on the defensive end, but also scored 23 points on the offensive end. Unlike Kobe, Bowen's three-pointers became a scoring tool, making six of six shots. Game 2: Lakers 102-97 at home. The Spurs were "defeated" in this game because Duncan and Manu both missed the game, resulting in the Spurs losing to the Lakers by five points. in hand. At the same time, M-Kobe-V-Bryant-P scored 30 points in this game, but his shooting rate was still very high, making 10 of 24 shots. Game 3: Spurs at home, Spurs 103-91. At this time, it was the Spurs' turn for the Lakers to "win without force." At this time, Bynum, the little shark, did not attend due to an ankle injury, and neither did Pau Gasol. Was traded to the Lakers. Kobe is still the unique leader of the Lakers. He scored 29 points, but at the same time, he also made 9 turnovers, which was embarrassing. Game 4: Lakers home court, Lakers 106-85 Spurs, there are still injured soldiers, embarrassment, the Argentine's best sixth man Ginobili missed this game. The Lakers performed well in the second half - the best second half of the season, as KFC said in the post-game commentary: "What a wonderful half, we came out of the locker room, returned to the court, and then performed It was a very meaningful second half game. We got into a bottleneck in the first half. Tony Parker gave us a lot of obstruction. He could always send the ball to our net. We couldn't find anything in the first half. We have to find a way to stop this French wizard. I think that after we came back in the second half, we did a good job defensively and stopped the opponent's scoring momentum. In this game, Lama scored 17 points and 14 rebounds, and Parker led the entire Spurs. The answer sheet he handed over was 20 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists. (Old K said: In these regular season scans, basically none of the games were played against each other with the current lineups of the two teams. Comparatively. A similar meeting could only be regarded as the last confrontation, but Ginobili did not play at that time.

At the same time, the Spurs' nursing home is also preparing to come out in full force - Finley, Thomas, Barry... Our bench is deep because of our youth, but the combined average score of Princess Shasha and Jonton is only three points of Auntie's. One - nine points, Xiaonong and Tuyarif are a little bit brainless and tenacious, but their performance opportunities are limited. However, we can only count on small farmers to keep up with Parker, and we can only count on Butchers to compete with Shifo in the low post - the main premise is that they don't continue to lose strength. X Factor: Lama If a lama doesn't chant sutras or become a spy, he can be an unsolvable man. Coach: Cunning and cunning VS scheming = evenly matched. Please decide for yourself who will win the two adjectives above. Holly has been coached by two coaches, and both won championship rings under them, so he may be the best judge of the two. However, Holly said that Popovich is better, and the Lake District coach It is estimated that it is already ready to be fucked. Holly's confession is Jiang Zi: "Phil won't talk shit about big names. But Pop will evaluate every player equally, that is, he will complain to the bosses and lose his temper to the little devils. Also, Pop Veach emphasizes defense more. "There is another sentence that is even more cramped: "If you give Popovich a group of talented players like Phil's, Pop can win more championship rings." (Old Holly thought. The mixed playing time is what I want to tell us-the Lakers players are better than the Spurs?) Closing argument: The Spurs are a better team, but the Lakers have the best players. The Spurs have the advantage in three of the five matchups, and they maintain moderate support and trust in each other. The Spurs are the team with the third fewest points in the league within 100 shots, and our Lakers are the team with the fewest points within 100 shots. The team with the third most points in the league. This will be another conversation between the most talented MVP in the NBA and the best defensive team in the league: Duncan and Bowen. But I don't think anyone can stop Kobe. This is already the fifth time Kobe Bryant has met with Pop and Duncan's Spurs in the playoffs. Four of the times, the greats have been the undisputed scoring champions. In three of the four confrontations, the Lakers have the upper hand. What's the difference between now and before: The people around Kobe have changed. They used to be sharks, but now they're Lama and his wife. When Gasol came to Kobe, Kobe said: "It's time to take a step forward." Although Kobe and O'Neal have won three championship trophies before, they do not belong to the "great god". He needs a trophy of his own. Now, it's time to set off and get it.
