Just like the San Antonio Spurs team knew they had to attack as hard as they could to win, the Los Angeles Lakers team players knew they had to work hard to defend well if they wanted to win this game and advance to the NBA Finals.

After a few minutes of play, it was clear that the players of the Los Angeles Lakers team were more relaxed and that's why they were playing better, the players of San Antonio Spurs team were making more mistakes and that's why the Lakers team managed to open a small advantage in points.

Shaquille O'Neal kept finding spaces even though he had two players defending against him, so Kobe Bryant also found more chances to advance the painted area and the Los Angeles Lakers team had more attacking options.

Jake, seeing this, made the ȧssists on the team correctly and decided not to try to make shots from outside in the first minutes of the game, but even if Jake didn't try to make any three-pointers he still caught the attention of two San Antonio Spurs players and gave more freedom for Kobe and Rick.

The players of the San Antonio Spurs team realized what was happening and decided to change the way they defend a little, so Sean Elliott and Avery Johnson started to move away from Jake a little to defend against Kobe and Rick.

Jake who organized the attack plays was the first to notice this, with this change Kobe could no longer advance to the painted area and Rick no longer had the freedom to try mid-range shots.

So on the next move Jake advanced the ball to the attack, Jake passed the ball to Kobe on the right, Kobe received the ball and Mario Elie arrived pressing on the defense, Avery Johnson also stayed close to help in the defense if Kobe tried to advance to the indoor area.

Kobe noticed this and passed the ball back to Jake further back, Jake had retreated a little further and was far from Avery, and also from the three-point line, Jake didn't wait for Avery to get closer and tried an outside shot and hit, making more 3 points for the Los Angeles Lakers team.

In the next plays Jake tried a three-point shot whenever Avery moved away to help the defense, the distance didn't affect Jake's accuracy in the three-point shots much, what got in the way was having a player defending against him at close range, so Jake had 9 points in 4 plays.

Soon the first quarter was over and the Los Angeles Lakers team was led by an 8 point lead, the San Antonio Spurs players seemed to have been very affected by the pressure and were missing more attacks and so they were well behind the score.

In that first quarter Jake had 11 points, 4 ȧssists, 2 steals and 1 rebound, Jake was getting further away from the inside area to not let Avery help in the defense, and with that Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant managed to score together 14 points in that first quarter.

"First quarter ends, the Los Angeles Lakers team has a good 8 point lead and is closer to advancing to the NBA Finals, Shaquille O'Neal, Kobe Bryant, and Jake Smith were the highlights of this first quarter."

"It really looks like the San Antonio team is having a hard time defending with the strategies of coach Gregg Popovich, plus the San Antonio Spurs players are making mistakes in an offense that they haven't made in the other games."

"I don't know if it's the pressure that's affecting the players on the San Antonio Spurs team, but for them who need to win to have any chance of advancing to the NBA Finals, they can't keep making mistakes like this."

Just as commentators said the San Antonio Spurs were getting further and further away from getting the victory they needed to stay alive in the playoffs, head coach Gregg Popovich knew this and decided to change defensive strategy again.

As the second quarter started Jake realized that the line against him was more intense, but with that Jake realized that Coach Popovich had given up on putting two players to defend against Shaq.

So Jake was even further away on the three-point line and so Rick Fox had more freedom to attack, in addition, Kobe Bryant could try more plays in the painted area and Shaquille O'Neal also had more freedom to attack.

At the end of the second quarter the Los Angeles Lakers team was still leading by 5 points, with the change of the defensive strategy of the San Antonio Spurs team, Jake didn't have as many chances to attack.

Even so, Jake still scored 8 points by hitting two three-point shots from afar and making a layup move, the advantage was just not greater because Rick wasn't doing so well and still missed some plays even though he had so much space to try mid-range shots.

The third quarter continued the same way, the San Antonio Spurs players continued to feel the increasing pressure and continued to miss in the offense, so the Los Angeles Lakers team maintained the advantage in points. .

Soon the game ended and the Los Angeles Lakers team won the game with 108 points against 104 points for San Antonio Spurs team, it was unexpected that the Los Angeles Lakers team advanced to the NBA Finals making 4-0 in that Conference Finals.

Jake got a double-double in that game making 35 points, 15 ȧssists, 7 steals, and 5 rebounds, that was the game where Jake had the fewest points in the 4 games against the San Antonio Spurs, but in this game, Jake was important because he took 2 players from the defense of the San Antonio Spurs team.

"The game ends, the Los Angeles Lakers team gets four wins and advances to the NBA Finals this season in the NBA, it was an unexpected result for the season that the San Antonio Spurs had been doing, but it was expected that the Los Angeles Lakers team would advance to the NBA Finals."

"Really, the San Antonio Spurs team had been surprising this season and was one of the favorite teams to maybe win this NBA title, but they faced the Los Angeles Lakers team that had better players and was the biggest favorite."

"The advantages that the San Antonio Spurs team had was having head coach Gregg Popovich and having a better defense, but the Los Angeles Lakers team had the stars Jake Smith, Shaquille O'Neal, and Kobe Bryant."

"Coach Gregg Popovich had a tough job that all the coaches this season had which was to stop Jake, plus he had to use Tim Duncan and David Robinson well to stop Shaq from scoring that many points."

"Coach Gregg Popovich even managed to do that in a few games, but it wasn't enough to get a win at this stage of the playoffs, it shows the strength of the Los Angeles Lakers team that is favorite to win the NBA title at the NBA Finals."

"It's true, the Los Angeles Lakers team can face the New York Knicks team or the Indiana Pacers team in the NBA Finals, and any team that goes to the NBA Finals has to do a great job if they want to beat the Los Angeles Lakers team."

As the commentators said, the coach Gregg Popovich did the best he could with this team that would win the NBA title this season, but that wasn't enough to stop the Los Angeles Lakers team with Jake playing this season.

This showed that no team would have the ability to win against the Los Angeles Lakers team in this multi-game season, the only way the Los Angeles Lakers team could lose was if the opponents played the best they could and the Lakers team players played very poorly.

But it was almost impossible in a playoff that a team needed 4 wins to advance the Los Angeles Lakers team played poorly in more than 4 games, and Jake never played badly in any game this season, so one of the conditions for victory was to prevent so Jake could score.

Only Jake knew that this season there weren't many games where he could really do the best he could, if he did the best he could he for sure wouldn't be playing as a team and would have to do an individual game, moreover Jake knew that if he did that, he wouldn't have such a good hit rate on three-pointers.

That's why Jake would never do that with any player on his team making a good game, after all with Jake missing a three-point shot or an attacking play, it meant that the Los Angeles Lakers team missed an attacking play in which they could make more points.

Fortunately, on a team with Shaquille O'Neal, Kobe Bryant, Dennis Rodman, and Rick Fox, there weren't many games where all these players were performing poorly, most of the time two of those four would be playing poorly, but the Los Angeles Lakers team he would still get the win with Jake.

Of course in such a happy situation the players wouldn't refuse to do interviews, reporters will soon be reaching out to all players with most reporters trying to talk to Jake, Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal, and coach Kurt Rambis.

"Coach Rambis, this season the Los Angeles Lakers team had three coaches, you coached the team in most games this reduced season and playoffs, what do you think about that now that the Los Angeles Lakers team has reached the NBA Finals?"

"I can't say anything about the Los Angeles Lakers team's decision to change coaches, I can only say that as a coach I am very happy to have reached the NBA Finals this season, this is very important for the team and for me as well."
