导出博客文章Minnesota and Los Angeles , the top two teams in the WNBA during the regular
season, have looked every bit the best in the league during the WNBA semifinals.
Both have 2-0 leads. Now its up to Phoenix and Chicago, with some help with
their home crowds, to try to extend their respective series.Thats going to be
tough, because the Lynx and Sparks really have not left the door open for that
to happen. The Mercury and Sky are going to have to force it open by taking the
series leaders out of their comfort zones.Sunday on ESPN, Chicago hosts Los
Angeles (3 p.m. ET) and Phoenix hosts Minnesota (5 p.m, ET). The Lynx and the
Sparks for the most part have done exactly what they wanted to do offensively;
Minnesota won its two games by an average of 14.0 points, Los Angeles by
17.5.Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve wasnt thrilled with her teams defense in Fridays
96-86 victory, so that will be her biggest focus. Of course, she expects the
Mercury will be more energized by playing in Phoenix on Sunday.But the defending
champion Lynx are so good about not getting rattled, even by the
sure-to-be-vocal Phoenix fans. For the Mercury, its do-or-die time in a season
where theyve had multiple peaks and valleys. They have to avoid foul trouble,
and theyll need a much bigger presence from center Brittney Griner than she had
in the first two games.A week ago Sunday, Chicago knocked off visiting Atlanta
in a second-round single-elimination game at Allstate Arena in Rosemont,
Illinois. As joyful as the Sky were after that game, realistically they knew
theyd have their hands full in this series with the Sparks.That would be the
case even if 2015 MVP Elena Delle Donne were healthy for Chicago. With her out
with a thumb injury, the Sky really have to play at an extraordinarily high
level defensively to try to keep the Sparks from running away from them.The
Sparks post players stole the show in the opening game, a 95-75 victory. In the
second game, which Los Angeles won 99-84, the Sparks bombarded the Sky both from
inside and outside the paint.Los Angeles is trying to make the WNBA Finals for
the first time since 2003.Im coaching a lot of mature players, and theyre pros.
So not much needs to be said, Sparks coach Brian Agler said when asked if theres
any different approach he takes since its a potential series-clincher. We just
talk about what we think were going to see and prepare for that. And just
understand that theyre going to be playing with a tremendous sense of urgency.
And were going to have to play that same way.

says he will leave the Spanish club at the end of the season despite having two
years left on his contract. The 59-year-old Pellegrini says he is leaving
because of "sporting reasons." The Chilean has been linked to the Manchester
City post made vacant when Roberto Mancini was fired last week. Pellegrini said
Wednesday that "everyone has the right and obligation to folloow their chosen
path, and Malaga must do the same.dddddddddddd The club requires a realistic
project next season. Malaga had a past without Manuel Pellegrini, and will also
have a future without Manuel Pellegrini." Pellegrini joined Malaga in 2010. He
has also coached Real Madrid and Villarrael in Spain. Malaga reached the
Champions League quarterfinals this season, losing to eventual finalist Borussia
Dortmund. ' ' '
