In the 1988 Western Conference semifinals, how did Stockton and Johnson perform?

Fans know that Magic is the NBA's greatest point guard. Under his leadership, the Lakers also became the most successful player in the league in the 80s. In Magic's 13-year career, there aren't many point guards who can compete with him, and Stockton is one of them.

1988 was the peak of Magic, when the Lakers were the defending champions, and Magic also won the double MVP the year before, which is recognized as the first person in the league. However, in the playoffs, he was suppressed by Stockton all the way, what was the situation at that time?

In the '87-88 season, the Lakers were still the best team in the league, with 62 wins and 20 losses in the regular season, and they played the performance that the defending champions should have. The Jazz only have a 47-35 record, ranking fifth in the West, and the gap between the two sides is relatively large. The Lakers not only have the Big Three of Magic, Abdul-Jabbar and Worthy, but also excellent stars such as Scott and Green, while the Jazz rely more on Malone and Stockton.

In the playoffs that year, the Lakers and Jazz met in the Western Conference semifinals, and the outside world thought it would be a series without suspense. However, the series went from 1-1 to 2-2 to 3-3, and the Lakers were once in a passive situation, and finally advanced through the tie-break. In that series, Stockton completely suppressed the peak magicians.

After 7 games in the series, he got an exaggerated statistic of 4 rebounds and assists per game, and his shooting percentage was also high, and his performance was perfect.

As the boss of the Lakers, Magic averaged 14 shots per game, could get points, rebounds and assists, and shot 50% from the field. Scott and Worthy are the Lakers' most important scoring points, and the Magic is responsible for stringing together the team. He's also very good, but he's still a little bit worse than Stockton.

In the battle of Tianwang Mountain, the magician made 10 of 18 shots from the field, got 20 points, 3 rebounds and 13 assists, and his performance was very stable. However, Stockton was even more exaggerated, he played 48 minutes, shot 8 of 16 from the field, and scored a crazy stat of 23 points, 3 rebounds and 24 assists, but the Jazz still lost by 2 points. On the stage of the tiebreaker, the Magic scored a quasi-triple-double of 23 points, 9 rebounds and 16 assists, and played very well.

Not to be outdone, Stockton once again played 48 minutes, and scored 29 points, 20 assists and 5 steals, his performance was undoubtedly more dazzling than that of the Magic, but the Lakers were stronger overall, and in the end, they were also involved in the promotion.

watched the series of that year, Stockton played a super performance in the face of the Magic, the average of 19 points, 16 assists and 4 steals per game in the series is exaggerated enough, and on the stage of Tianwang Mountain and the robbery battle, they also got 20+20 data, I have to say that Stockton's performance that year was too strong.

The 88-year-old Stockton played a supernatural record in the face of the Magic, averaging 19 points, 16 assists and 4 steals per game in the series. And Johnson, he is the best point guard, it is not an exaggeration to call the first point guard in NBA history, Johnson played 48 minutes in the Western Conference semifinals, scored 25 points, 11 assists and 13 rebounds, and his performance was also excellent.

Stockton is averaging rebounds and assists per game, and Magic Johnson is averaging rebounds and assists per game.

Stockton and Johnson both performed well, with Stockton averaging 19 points and 16 assists per game, and Johnson had four rebounds and assists in four steals.

Stockton had 19 points and 16 assists, and his performance on the court was amazing, while Johnson scored 18 points, which was slightly worse than him, but also very good.
