Theron lay tiredly in Li Ang's arms. He had not been able to sleep well in the past few days because he had to be woken up several times a night.

It seems that I need to buy a humidifier, otherwise the air will be too dry.

Li Ang was watching TV at this time, his palms all sweaty.

He is nervous!

Although when he saw the changes to the playoff lineup, Li Ang knew that the ending of this history was likely to be different from the original history.

But when all this was about to happen, Li Ang still found it unbelievable.

At this time, G6 of the Western Conference Finals between the Trail Blazers and the Lakers was being played on the TV.

There are more than two minutes left before the end of the game, which is also very possible...

It’s the last two minutes or so of the Lakers’ season!

In the original history, the Trail Blazers did win G6 of the Western Conference Finals. But at that time, it was the Trail Blazers who were pushed to the edge of the cliff, not the Lakers.

At that time, the Lakers had a 3-2 lead, and the Trail Blazers would be eliminated if they lost in G6.

But now, the situation has reversed. It is the Trail Blazers who lead 3-2. If the Lakers cannot close the 10-point gap in the last two minutes, they will fall into the abyss!

Li Ang swallowed, I can't have such a poisonous mouth, right?

It can't be done!

The reason why this year's Western Conference finals did not develop according to the historical trajectory can be traced back to the elbow that Li Ang gave Malone during the regular season.

Yes, Li Ang's elbow affected the Lakers.

That elbow caused Malone, a tough man who had never missed a game due to injury, to miss several games.

Because he missed several games, the Jazz are ranked lower than they were historically.

Because the Jazz's ranking changed, the playoff matchup changed. In the second round of the playoffs, the Jazz met the Lakers.

Karl Malone is determined to win. Although the Lakers' regular season record is very gorgeous, the outside world agrees that Kobe and O'Neal do not have the experience to fight a tough battle.

What's more, the last time the two sides met in the playoffs, the Jazz swept the Lakers 4-0.

But it turns out that the Jazz are indeed old. Facts have proved that O'Neal and Kobe have grown up very quickly.

The Lakers eventually defeated the Utah Jazz in six games in the Western Conference semifinals.

At that time, Li Ang also believed that although the opponent had changed and the process had changed, the outcome of winning the championship would not change.

But Li Ang was wrong. The Lakers did still win the Western Conference semifinals, but just like the Heat escaped from Toronto in six bloody games, their victory was not easy.

It means killing one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred to oneself.

With the Jazz's kind of defense, it's no wonder everyone on the Lakers has such a good time.

Karl Malone did whatever he wanted at the fourth position and caused a lot of trouble for the Lakers.

Therefore, the Lakers have become quite tired after the Western Conference semifinals.

On the other hand, the Trail Blazers played very, very easily in the first two rounds because of the change in ranking.

They swept the SuperSonics in the first round and swept the Timberwolves 4-1 in the second round.

Even though the Trail Blazers played one less game than the Lakers in the second round, the intensity of the five games between the Trail Blazers and the Timberwolves was not at the same level as the intensity of the six games between the Lakers and the Jazz.

A tough guy like Jute, facing the encirclement and suppression of the Blazers' luxurious forward group, had to fight and retreat!

Throughout the series, as an insider, Harde averaged only 38.5% field goal percentage. His three-point field goal percentage was the highest on the team, reaching 66.7%.

The more he fights, the more he drifts away. He is worthy of being a master of fighting and retreating at the same time.

But if you say hard is not hard enough, he won't agree.

Why isn't it tough enough? A big jump shot, why isn't it tough enough?

Is it because I am no longer handsome when doing push-ups, or is it because I am no longer intimidating when I beat my chest and roar?

Anyway, I am tough!

The Trail Blazers players strongly agree with this.

If it hadn't been for the toughness of the game, this series would probably have ended 4-0.

In this way, the energetic Trail Blazers faced off against the exhausted Los Angeles Lakers.

Just like that, it was the Trail Blazers who led 3-2.

Li Ang's elbow put the Lakers' lives on the line!

In original history, the Trail Blazers and Lakers did not decide the winner until the final moments of the tiebreaker.

The strength gap between the two teams is not big. If we try again, any result is possible.

At this time, the Lakers attacked and they didn't have much time to waste.

O'Neal caught the basketball in the low post. At that moment, four Blazers surrounded O'Neal!

Sabonis withstood O'Brien, Pippen helped prevent interference, Schremf pushed him quietly, and finally when O'Brien jumped up, Tianzun swung the basketball with a long arm.

O'Neal fell to the ground in embarrassment and spread his hands.

But the referee ignored it. He thought it was a good defense and the Lakers missed a key offensive round!

This kind of encirclement and suppression is the norm in this series!

The Zen master held a tactical board and denounced the ruthlessness of the capitalists.

This lineup is beating the balls!

After Paul Allen joined the Trail Blazers, he spent money like crazy and built a lineup worth 73 million.

You know, the Lakers, whose salary ranks third in the league, have a roster worth just over 50 million!

Jackson once said that the Trail Blazers have "the best lineup money can buy."

It's really no exaggeration at all.

The Blazers' iron-blooded forward line made O'Neal miserable.

Allen told the world that if you have money, you can do whatever you want!

With his money-making ability, he can enjoy success wherever he goes.

So far in this game, the exhausted Sharks haven't even hit 45%.

He is a historical beast in the paint!

After the Trail Blazers counterattacked, Rasheed faced Horry's defense and made a trademark straight-arm shot.

The basketball went hollow into the net, and Rasheed's offense was as good as ever. In other words, the Lakers' fourth position was as weak as ever.

When the score difference reached 12 points, Master Jackson called a halt to the game. The Lakers were already in dire straits!

"Why do you look more nervous than the Lakers players?" Theron leaned on Li Ang's chest and felt Li Ang's heartbeat speeding up.

"I'm really nervous because they are making history!" Li Ang really couldn't believe that the "what if" series would become a reality.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! If the Trail Blazers had not made 1 of 14 shots in the final moments of the tiebreaker. If the Lakers had not completed a 15-point comeback in the tiebreaker, the league structure would have changed.

What will it become?

Li Ang is about to see the answer!

On the next attack, Kobe shot from outside the three-point line and hit a three-pointer.

It has to be said that whether in the original history or now, this series against the Trail Blazers is one of Kobe's playoff masterpieces.

If it weren't for his support today, the game would probably have entered garbage time.

After scoring this goal, Kobe has scored 33 points and made 6 of 9 from beyond the three-point line!

But even so, the Trail Blazers still lead by 9 points!

In 1992, the Trail Blazers had the second MVP glider, Buck Williams, a rebounding machine on the secondary defense, Terry Porter, Davox, Clifford Robinson and other players who could beat Stockton.

The lineup is extremely luxurious.

But in the end, it became the stepping stone for the Flying Dynasty.

After eight years, the Trail Blazers once again put together the best lineup in the league.

This time, they will not miss the opportunity to reach the top!

Kobe's three-pointer was timely, but the Trail Blazers did not back down, but instead increased their efforts on the defensive end.

Pippen personally defended Kobe, O'Neal fell into a double-team quagmire, and the tired Lakers were getting further and further away from victory.

More than a minute later, the thing that Li Ang couldn't believe happened happened.

The Los Angeles Lakers lost to the Portland Trail Blazers 93-103 on the road. The Trail Blazers advanced to the Finals with a total score of 4-2!

"Fuck, it's too big, it's too big..." Li Ang looked at the Blazers players celebrating crazily on the TV, swallowed, and couldn't help but glance at the elbow where he hit Malone.

It really opened up a new world with just one elbow.

You know, when the Lakers lost, it wasn't just because this year's championship changed.
