The Lakes continue to confirm the status of the main favorite in the race for the championship. The team did not even encounter any problems during the playoffs and this indicates a high level. Recall that the club from Los Angeles began its journey to the final with a victory over Portland (4:1), then confidently dealt with James Harden and the company from Houston (4:1). The third round turned out to be no less easy, as Denver could not oppose anything in return (4:1). The Lakers are one step closer to the gold medals after the last meeting, in which they dealt with Miami (116:98). The star bunch of Anthony Davis and LeBron James scored 59 points by two, and King James also scored a double-double. Frank Vogel’s players are in good shape. All leaders are in the ranks, so its not surprising to see the team as the favorite before the second match, but the opponent will clearly be rebuilding and you need to be ready for this.
Sampdoria is doing very badly. This team lost both starting matches and both times allowed three goals into their own net. No one has missed yet more than the Genoese, so the “White-blue” are rightly on the last line. Moreover, it is very important that Sampa played the first match with Juventus and it is not a shame to miss three goals from such an opponent. This club has been the champion of the country for ten years without a break, but the second round was a failure. It was a meeting with the Benevento team, which had just advanced to Serie A and conceding three goals from such an opponent is a very weak indicator. Moreover, Sampa was leading 2:1, so there are still very big questions for the tactical preparation of the club.
