<h4>Chapter 561 West Conference Semifinals 1</h4>


    Jake went after a few hours to do training with the Los Angeles Lakers team, Jake could see that his teammates were excited about the win, but they were also tired from thest few games.


    Of course, the yers wanted to y all the yoff games as long as they could, after all, besides being important for the team, it was also important for their career, so the yers were trying hard in training even though they were tired.


    Jake was not so worried because he thought that with those 2 days without a game the yers would be able to rest well before the next game if Shaq and Kobe continued ying well, the Los Angeles Lakers team could win the 4 games and advance to the next phase.


    The San Antonio Spurs team was having more difficulty and lost the first game and won the second game against the Utah Jazz team, so regardless of which team progressed in that phase the Los Angeles Lakers team would have more time to rest if they won the 4 games without losing no game.


    Jake no longer knew what could happen in the next games because it was different from what happened in his past life, so Jake just hoped that Kobe and Shaq would continue to perform well in the next games.


    Not only Shaq and Kobe but also Dennis and Rick were important for the Los Angeles Lakers team to win in the next games, Rick and Dennis were not ying very well in thatst game and therefore the game was more difficult for the Lakers team to win.


    After training Jake returned to his house and the next day the yers of the Los Angeles Lakers team could rest, the next day Jake and Eva left Los Angeles to go to Pornd, Oregon.


    The directors of the Los Angeles Lakers team decided it was best for the Lakers yers to travel to Pornd, Oregon the day before the game so they wouldn’t get too tired, so Eva also went to Pornd, Oregon by helicopter with a hotel room ready for her.


    The other day game day came and the Los Angeles Lakers team went to the Rose Garden to y the next game, Jake can see the Pornd Trail zers fansing to the Rose Garden waiting for the Pornd Trail zers to win.


    In thest games, the Pornd Trail zers team yed very well and the games were bnced, as were all the games between the two teams throughout the season, just as Jake hoped the Pornd Trail zers team was a tough opponent.


    Even more in this game that the Pornd Trail zers team would y at home with the confidence of thest game that they almost managed to win, Jake hoped that the yers of the Los Angeles Lakers team were ying well and so he would try harder for the Lakers team achieve victory.


    In that game the Los Angeles Lakers team would start the game with Jake Smith ying as PG, Kobe Bryant ying as SG, Rick Fox ying as SF, Dennis Rodman ying as PF, and Shaquille O’Neal ying as Center.


    The Pornd Trail zers team would start the game with Damon Stoudamire ying as PG, Isaiah Rider ying as SG, Brian Grant ying as SF, Rasheed Wace ying as PF, and Arvydas Sabonis ying as Center.


    "Wee to everyone who came to watch this game this NBA season, this is the third game of this phase of the yoffs and it is the first game here at the Rose Garden in Pornd, Oregon, so the Pornd Trail zers team is more likely to win that game."


    "In the 2 games of the West Conference Semifinal, the Los Angeles Lakers team won the victory ying at home and having a great performance from the yers of both teams, in the second game the Pornd Trail zers team almost won."


    "Jake Smith is the main highlight of this Lakers team and also the highlight of this season, Jake performed well in all games in those yoffs, and it was very important for the Los Angeles Lakers team to win at the end of thest game."


    "The Los Angeles Lakers team has the best attack of this season, and besides Jake, they have excellent yers like Shaquille O’Neal and Kobe Bryant, and in that, the Lakers team has the advantage because the Pornd Trail zers team does not have such outstanding yers."


    "The highlight of the Pornd Trail zers team is all the yers and the coach, without any highlight, the Pornd Trail zers team arrived in these yoffs as one of the best teams because the yers have a good rtionship and achieve good performances."


    "We will follow in this game if the Pornd Trail zers team wins the victory ying at home or if the Los Angeles Lakers team will win this game more and get closer to progressing to the next phase."


    Asmentators said, even with the Los Angeles Lakers team having won 2 games, the advantage in that game was the Pornd Trail zers team, after all in thest 2 games the Pornd Trail zers team lost more yers yed very well.


    So ying at home, the Pornd Trail zers team had a better chance of winning that first game, even with Shaq and Kobe ying very well, if the yers of the Los Angeles Lakers team the chances of the Pornd Trail zers team winning increase.


    The game started with Shaquille O’Neal winning the first ball possession for the Los Angeles Lakers team, Shaq passed the ball to Jake who started organizing the first attack of the game, Jake advanced the ball and passed it to Kobe Bryant on the right.


    Kobe received the ball and Isaiah Rider came on to defend, Kobe was one of the best yers in the Los Angeles Lakers team in thest game with 32 points and just wasn’t the best because Jake was more important at the end of the game and made a triple-double.


    So Kobe had more confidence in this game and he would not try so hard because he was more tired, Kobe held the ball for a while and passed it to Rick Fox on the left, Rick received the ball and Brian Grant came pressing on the defense.


    Rick tried a feint and Grant was not deceived and continued in defense, Rick was not ying very well in this phase of the yoffs because Grant was defending well against him, even though Rick knew he was helping the team by making more than 10 points per game and not allowing the Pornd Trail zers to double-team Jake and Kobe.


    Rick gave up on the individual move and passed the ball to Jake further back, Jake received the ball and Damon Stoudamire came in pressing on the defense, Jake advanced with the ball and did a quick crossover and advanced on the left.


    Stoudamire was not so close to Jake and managed to react after being duped and continued on defense, Jake change of pace and advanced with the ball on the right and this unbnced Stoudamire who fell to the ground.


    Jake continued to advance with speed after the beautiful y and Arvydas Sabonis arrived to defend, Sabonis went to defend against Jake even though he knew he would pass the ball to Shaq, but different from what Sabonis thought Jake drive to the basket and made the 2 points with a dunk for the Los Angeles Lakers team.


    Sabonis still tried to defend, but he didn’t want to miss and Jake attacked too fast and Jake’s y was unexpected for him, and for Shaq also waiting for the pass, the Pornd Trail zers fans did not like the y, but the fans respected Jake’s ability.


    Stoudamire was a little embarrassed after the ankle break y on thest move, but he tried to keep defending even though he knew Jake’s speed was higher and after 2 dribble he lost his bnce and fell.


    In another move the Pornd Trail zers team was on the attack and Stoudamire was organizing the attack, Stoudamire advanced with the ball and passed to Rider on the left, Rider received the ball and Kobe came pressing on the defense.


    Rider tried to deceive Kobe with a feint, but Kobe was not deceived and Rider had to pass the ball to Grant from the right, Grant received the ball and Rick arrived pressing in defense, in thest 2 games Grant was one of the best yers on the Pornd Trail team zers and he was confident in that game too.


    Grant advanced with the ball using his strength and Rick couldn’t stop Grant, Grant made a feint and Rick retreated, so Grant tried a mid-range shot to score 2 points for the Pornd Trail zers.


    The game started out bnced just like thest games, in that game Kobe and Shaq were ying well and so Jake was hoping to get the win, but Jake realized that Kobe and Shaq were not ying as well as in thest games and if the Pornd Trail zers team yed as well as in thest game they could win.


    Jake knew that the biggest weakness of the Los Angeles Lakers team was the coach Rambis, the Los Angeles Lakers team achieved several victories with the yers having an excellent performance and achieving the victory for the Lakers team.


    When they lost it was when Shaq or Kobe were not ying well and the opponent was ying well, this was because the opponent knew the weaknesses of the Los Angeles Lakers team and Coach Rambis could not change the team’s ying style if Shaq and Kobe did not. were ying well.


    The Pornd Trail zers coach Mike Dunleavy managed to do this very well this season and managed to get the Pornd Trail zers team into the yoffs even though the team had no such prominent yer.


    In another move, Jake advanced with the ball and passed it to Rick on the left, Rick received the ball and held it a little before passing to Kobe on the right, Kobe received the ball and Rider came pressing on the defense.


    Kobe kept the ball doing the low dribble and Rider continued in defense, Kobe jab stepped and Rider did not react, so Kobe took the opportunity to advance from the right using his speed and Rider was slow to react.


    Kobe advanced with the ball and nobody went to defend against him, so Kobe drive to the basket and made theyup and 2 more points for the Los Angeles Lakers team.
