Chapter 293 The Super Center is Dead (9000 words chapter)
Dwight Howard once reached the Finals with a one-star system.
Relying on his unparalleled influence on the defensive end, the super center successfully limited the Cavaliers Zhan in the 1.0 period.
The annual drama of 23VS24 was even messed up by this super center.
But the heroes don't mention the courage back then. With the impact of injuries, Howard is no longer the omnipotent superman. Under D'Antoni's system, the super center seems particularly uncomfortable.
On the evening of the 21st, in the first round of G1 in the Western Conference, with 2 minutes and 34 seconds left in the first quarter, the score was 10:24. As Gasol hit a mid-range jumper from the free throw line, the Lakers scored 12. point.
Coach D'Antoni on the sidelines has gone numb, and Jody Meeks who replaced him has no effect. Antawn Jamison also failed to score a point. The Lakers' outside line was completely misfired.
Watching Chris Paul slowly dribble across the half court, he immediately played a high pick-and-roll at the 4th position. Coach D'Antoni on the sidelines couldn't help but loudly signaled that Paul Gasol was delayed.
To be on the safe side, after Gasol was delayed, Paul, who was holding the ball in his left hand, did not choose to take the risk of passing the ball to Griffin who was going down. Instead, following Gasol's delay, he crossed the ball again. To Li Ze on the left flank outside the three-point line.
After completing the pass, immediately ran to the left corner, and immediately signaled Griffin and Jordan under the basket to pay attention to the rebound.
At this time, Ray Allen had come off the bench, and the veteran was walking on the right flank outside the three-point line at this time, opening up space for Li Ze to attack.
Antawn Jamieson saw Li Ze catch the ball, and felt a little apprehensive in his heart. After receiving the ball, Li Ze made a simple three-threat, took a quick tentative step with his left foot, and then suddenly stepped forward to the right, while pressing his shoulders, The right hand holds the ball and breaks through with a cross step.
Veteran Jamison desperately slid to the left back, broke through to the free throw line, and Li Ze took advantage of the trend to pull back sharply, and then continued to hold the ball in his left hand to accelerate the breakthrough.
The defensive right front foot was attacked, making the veteran Jamison unable to react at all. After finally readjusting the focus of defense, he found that he had been squeezed by Li Ze.
Noticing that Gasol on the inside seemed to want to step forward to help defend, Li Ze, who took two big steps, suddenly used his right foot as the axis, and pulled the ball backwards with his left hand. Akira didn't know how to defend.
When Li Ze's body quickly twisted forward, exerted force on his feet, and flew into the air, and completed a mid-range fadeaway jumper, the veteran Jamison stood still in place again, without even having time to reach out.
"Shua!" Two points scored again!
Beating up the elderly didn't give Li Ze a lot of sense of accomplishment. He retreated immediately after scoring a goal. He didn't care about the Lakers' perimeter defense at all.
At 12:26, the score difference is still 14 points. In the commentary booth of TNT, Steve Kerr was not talking about the situation on the field at this time:
"Kayce seems to have strengthened his mid-range shooting this season. Many times, he will choose to end his offense at the mid-range. Of course, this is also inseparable from his precise three-pointers from the outside. After three threats, he can hold the ball with both hands and break through. The pull-up jumper is his best weapon."
Reggie Miller also chatted with him, and said with emotion:
"There is no outdated technology. Basketball is a sport of putting the ball in the basket. The Lakers are very strong inside, but Kayce can kill the game in the middle and long distances. The simple pick-and-roll cooperation allows the two big players of the Lakers to The kid is helpless."
While the two were chatting, Steve Nash and Pau Gasol completed the pick-and-roll at the top of the arc again, but this time Chris Paul quickly squeezed through the screen and continued to interfere with Nash's dribbling on the side.
There was no chance of being entangled. Nash returned the ball to Gasol on the free throw line. He wanted to take advantage of the situation to make a high-low coordination. As a result, Howard on the inside was held back by Jordan, and the two almost wrestled in the paint. .
There was no good opportunity, and Griffin's defense also began to push upwards. Gasol finally turned his body sideways, put the ball with his right hand, and moved to the three-point line, signaling Jodi Micks to play a pass. hand coordination.
But the offensive intention was too obvious. When Meeks received a hand-off pass from Gasol, Ray Allen was close to the opponent, not giving the opponent a chance to easily dribble and break through.
Perhaps it was the big lag that made the Lakers players dizzy. After Jody Meeks broke through from the top of the arc with the ball in his left hand, he threw the ball to Antawn Jamison on the right wing outside the three-point line.
When the ball was about to pass in front of Jamison, Li Ze, who had been shrinking inside the three-point line, was like a nimble leopard, suddenly jumped up, saw the opportunity and grabbed the ball directly, and stole the ball away!
Veteran Jamison just wanted to chase and defend, but found that Li Ze dribbled the ball so fast that he had already crossed the half court.
Li Ze, who holds the ball in his left hand, accelerated crazily, stepped on the free throw line and took off quickly. Amidst the screams of fans in the Staples Arena, Li Ze took advantage of the situation and turned the ball around in the air. Pull it to your side, then slam the ball into the hoop!
"Boom!" The windmill dunked successfully!
"God! The game may be over, Kayce has completely dominated the perimeter!"
Commentator Kevin Harlan looked at the frustrated Lakers players on the field and couldn't help but announce the end of the game early.
Howard on the field looked at Li Ze, who was in the limelight, and couldn't help cursing. Since he was dunked, he has put all his energy on the defensive end, waiting for Li Ze to break through and come in!
As a result, after waiting for most of the game, Li Ze was either in the middle distance or switched offenses, which made this super center powerless.
Seeing that the point difference was widened again, Coach D'Antoni sat back on the bench directly.
Steve Blake was robbed once by Li Zesheng, oppressed the defense and fumbled the ball once, and there was no big difference between Jody Meeks and Antawn Jamison in the second half of the first quarter. was completely suppressed.
The coaching staff of the Lakers couldn't bear to look straight at the sight of Jody Meeks hitting another iron from beyond the three-point line. It's painful to watch you play!
This time Li Ze had just received the ball in the right block position, and Jody Meeks cooperated with Antawn Jamison to double-team Li Ze.
Faced with such a defense, Li Ze was not in a hurry, he protected the ball steadily, and dribbled two steps out with his left hand. Before the double-teaming between the two was about to form, he immediately jumped up and threw the ball to the free throw line to respond. griffin.
At this time, the Lakers' defense was a bit embarrassing. Howard on the inside was responsible for defending Jordan, while veteran Steve Nash defended Ray Allen and Paul alone.
When Griffin threw the ball to Paul on the left baseline, Paul had an open shot, but seeing Steve Nash suddenly defended, Paul passed the ball to Ray on the left wing outside the three-point line. - Alan.
The latter catches the ball, facing such a large open opportunity, without making too many adjustments, he quickly shoots a jumper from outside the three-point line!
"Allen! Wide open! That's good!"
The commentator Kevin Harlan yelled passionately when he saw Ray Allen hit a three-pointer.
The Clippers scored 31 points. Li Ze celebrated with a smile and high-five veteran Ray Allen.
The veteran made 41.9% of his three-pointers in the regular season, averaged 24.5 minutes per game, and could contribute 11.6 points. At present, Ray Allen is the most stable substitute for the Clippers in the transition period. Lawford, the coaching staff also trust the veteran more.
In the last minute of the first quarter of the game, Steve Nash made a difficult throw. Veteran Jamison made 1 of 2 free throws, and the Lakers finally scored 1 points.
At the end of the first quarter, at 15:35, everyone on the Lakers team who walked to the bench was silent, and Howard didn't have a smile on his face.
The 20-point difference left the three in the TNT commentary speechless. The game ended just after it started. Is this the playoffs?
"Kayce performed very well. He made 7 of 6 in the first quarter, made 2 of 2 free throws, scored 14 points, 1 rebound, 2 assists and 2 steals. Facing the double team of the Lakers, he handled the ball very well several times. Of course, we must also praise Look at Griffin's performance, his support at the free throw line is also very important!"
Looking at the technical statistics in his hands, Steve Kerr didn't mention the performance of the Lakers players. After all, scoring 15 points in a single quarter can be said to be a big leap.
"With such a point difference, maybe the Lakers should give it a go. At this time, not only the inside players need to stand up, but other outside players also need to shoot boldly."
Reggie Miller played the role of a good old man. He did not criticize Howard, who scored 4 of 1 in a single quarter and scored 2 points. Instead, he simply pointed out the problem of the Lakers' perimeter.
The three of them started to help the Lakers in the commentary booth, and the head coach D'Antoni was also desperate at this time, directly smashing the main force!
In the rotation stage, Steve Blake, Artest, Pau Gasol, Dwight Howard continued to appear, Jody Meeks replaced Steve Nash, and the Lakers came directly to four. starting lineup.
As for the Clippers, the coaching staff rotated step by step. Bledsoe, Ray Allen, Crawford, Turiaf, and Hollins appeared on the stage. Obviously, the 20-point difference allowed De Nagro to take the lead. The coach has plenty of confidence.
Howard, who traveled on a staggered peak, finally showed his super center strength in the second quarter. He came up with a fierce attack and scored consecutive points at the basket!
Although the defense of the bench lineup is really mediocre, Jamal Crawford is also at ease facing the Lakers' perimeter. He made sudden shots on the offensive end and successfully withstood the Lakers' counterattack.
After playing for more than three minutes in the second quarter, seeing that the point difference was still not narrowed, head coach De Nagro replaced Matt Barnes and Ray Allen, and then Tucker also got a chance to play , After replacing Turiaf, the lineup on the field became smaller and smaller.
在第2节比赛还剩4分31秒时,场上的比分为30:50,分差依然还是20分。
Li Ze made his appearance again with 4 minutes left in the first half. The audience at the Staples Center burst into cheers when they saw Li Ze enter the field.
The Clippers attacked, and Li Ze stood in the left corner after halftime. Artest didn't dare to be careless, and kept facing Li Ze, as if he didn't want him to catch the ball easily.
Noticing that Griffin was moving in the direction of Li Ze, Artest quickly approached Li Ze, and at the same time concealedly pulled with his hand.
At the top of the arc, Paul just completed a high pick-and-roll with Jordan Jr., and after getting rid of Nash's defense with his left hand, Li Ze also started immediately.
The sudden explosive start slowed Artest's defense a step, and then he was hung up by Griffin who was on the screen. When Li Ze easily received the ball on the left wing outside the three-point line, Artest The chasing defense is not in place yet.
Faced with such an excellent opportunity, Li Ze did not make any adjustments, and quickly shot a jumper from outside the three-point line after receiving the ball!
"Shua!" The three-pointer hit the net hollowly!
"The Lakers may consider changing a defender. Obviously Artest can't keep up with Kayce's rhythm."
Seeing that the game was going to be completely spent, Steve Kerr couldn't help complaining about the Lakers' perimeter defense.
Lezi fans began to scream excitedly again. For them, the result of the game is not important, what is important is to see the star score
Howard seemed a little dissatisfied with the team's perimeter defense. While serving the ball, he pulled his face and complained:
"Hey! We can't let him score easily, let's defend! 23 points difference!"
But no one responded to such complaints. Artest didn't even look at Howard, and ran towards the half court blankly to prepare to attack.
In the next few rounds, Howard also began to become frustrated. Because Li Ze and Paul pulled up the perimeter defense intensity, Nash and Blake could not pass the ball easily.
In many cases, Pau Gasol completed the pass. After two consecutive turnovers, the frustrated Howard's speed of returning to defense also dropped suddenly.
Taking advantage of Gasol's mistake, Paul quickly launched a counterattack again. He immediately sent the ball to Li Ze on the left flank. Ze immediately sent a lob pass.
When the ball arrived, Griffin caught the ball in the air, stayed in the air for a short time, then turned the ball around, grabbed the ball with one hand with his left hand, and smashed the ball into the basket!
"Boom!" The empty catch dunk was successful!
The wonderful alley-oop dunk instantly ignited the atmosphere of the Staples Arena, and the Lezi fans yelled happily, while Kobe on the bench felt the joyful atmosphere of the scene, his eyes blazed, and he said nothing send.
The Clippers played an iconic three-line fast break, which also heralded the complete collapse of the Lakers' defense.
As the defensive intensity declined, Chris Paul took advantage of the situation and hit hard, using Jordan's high pick-and-roll twice in a row to hit two three-pointers at the top of the arc outside the three-point line.
In the two defenses, Howard failed to delay in time, which made the coach D'Antoni on the sidelines a little annoyed, and shouted to the players on the field to keep their defensive focus.
With Gasol's mid-range miss again, Li Ze received a long rebound, and the Clippers launched another conversion attack.
Quickly dribbling through the half court, Steve Blake has been constantly harassing at his side. When he came to the right flank beyond the three-point line, Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his right hand, suddenly lowered his center of gravity and accelerated again.
When approaching the three-point line, the right hand took advantage of the trend and pulled back the crotch, and then the left hand paused slightly. At the same time, the right hand pretended to join the ball. A simple emergency stop and a fake move by Buddha made Steve Blake subconsciously jump up to block the shot.
Seeing that the opponent was shaking, Li Ze quickly changed direction with his left hand, and then accelerated with all his strength while holding the ball in his right hand, completely passing the opponent's defense and rushing directly to the penalty area.
Howard, who returned to the basket, saw that Li Ze made a successful breakthrough, and immediately prepared to hit him hard. However, Li Ze, who was on the move, saw that Howard had completely ignored Jordan on his side. The moment he approached the paint area, he immediately threw the ball to the basket. Throw it on the basket.
Li Ze passed the ball very high and easily passed Howard's fingertips. Under the basket, Jordan jumped high, grabbed the ball with both hands, and pressed the ball into the basket hard!
"Boom!" The empty pick and eat the pie!
Jordan, who successfully dunked, yelled excitedly, stood in front of Howard and beat his chest. This scene immediately made Howard very angry.
In the next few rounds, Howard began to frequently ask for the ball in the low post again, and because the Lakers' outside line was really stretched, the Clippers' defenders near the outside line began to cooperate with the inside players to double-team.
Under the attack of Matt Barnes and Jordan Jr., Howard threw the ball to Artest on the left flank with difficulty, and the latter hit the iron again with an open three-pointer!
The long rebound was accepted by Li Ze again, and then quickly launched a conversion attack.
Blake wanted to make a tactical foul immediately, but Li Ze dribbled the ball behind his back with his right hand, easily swayed it, and accelerated to cross the half court with the ball in his left hand.
Li Ze, the left winger outside the three-point line, began to slow down, and Steve Blake stepped forward to interfere. At the moment of sticking to the defense, Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his left hand, suddenly in and out slightly, and then accelerated again.
After seeing the opposite direction, Li Ze dribbled the ball behind his back with his left hand and returned to the three-point line. Before Blake could react, he quickly shot the three-pointer!
"Wow! Kayce Another three! YES!"
Although the game completely lost suspense, the commentator Kevin Harlan yelled excitedly when he saw Li Ze complete the three-pointer.
Steve Blake was completely paralyzed, and Li Ze's offense completely destroyed him. From the beginning to the present, his defense has never been successful.
And scoring this conversion three-pointer also made the Clippers' bench jubilant, there is no suspense!
In the remaining 2 minutes of the second quarter, the Lakers, who broke the defense, could only use fouls to stop Li Ze. With 2 free throws made steadily, the Lakers players on the field have completely collapsed.
At the end of the half, at 37:66, the Clippers have led by 29 points.
Except for the happy fans in the Staples Arena, the Clippers fans were all smiling, while the Lakers fans who bought tickets to watch the game broke their defenses. Is this the playoffs?The promised super center dominates the inside?
After the start of the third quarter, Howard didn't seem to want to play anymore, and he didn't ask for the ball in the low post, nor did he go to the high pick-and-roll. This super center completely lost his fighting spirit.
In the third quarter, the score was zero in a single quarter, only 3 rebounds were grabbed, and a turnover was also sent.
With the Clippers releasing water, the Lakers only scored 20 points in a single quarter.
At 57:92, the Clippers continued to expand their lead!
Coach D'Antoni also discovered Howard's situation. After playing for more than three minutes in the fourth quarter, he directly switched to the atmosphere group and completely declared defeat.
At this time, Li Ze had already changed into his training uniform and was sitting in his seat. In the fourth quarter, he didn't have to play.
"It seems that we can easily pass the first round. I didn't expect the F4 of the Lakers to fail so much this season."
Griffin, who also changed into his training uniform, was in a good mood. Watching the score on the court, Brother Surface mocked the performance of the Lakers by the way.
"The offensive and defensive rhythm of the Lakers is too slow, maybe they can think about their opponents in the next round in advance."
Hearing Li Ze's words, Chris Paul on the side suddenly thought that he might meet the Grizzlies in the next round, and his joy suddenly disappeared. He glanced at Jordan who was waving a towel on the sidelines, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion. for a moment:
"Fortunately, we have home court advantage. Whether it's going to Denver or Memphis, it's bound to be a difficult game."
As soon as Paul finished speaking, the fun fans at the scene saw Earl Clark complete a dunk and cheered for the Lakers' goal. Such a scene immediately made the corner of Paul's mouth twitch, maybe he was too optimistic
The garbage time passed quickly, and the referee didn't blow the whistle too much. In the end, at 81:114, the Clippers beat the Lakers at home, and the series came to 1:0.
"Facing a team like the Clippers, you can't win with only 81 points!"
"Kayce only played 27 minutes, 16 of 12, including 3 of 2 three-pointers, 6 of 6 free throws, extremely efficient scoring 32 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals, and no turnovers. The Lakers' perimeter defense is thorough. Failed!"
Steve Kerr predicted before the game that this round of the series would be 4:1, but after the actual match, he found that the Lakers were weaker than he thought, so he was unceremonious in his comments after the game.
“克里斯-保罗11中7,其中三分球4中2,罚球4中4,高效砍下20分2篮板10助攻2抢断,并且同样没有失误。”
"I don't know what adjustments Coach D'Antoni will make in the next game. Griffin made 10 of 6, 16 points and 10 rebounds, and Andrew Jordan had 6 points and 10 rebounds. Judging from the current situation, the Lakers have no advantage." .”
Reggie Miller still didn't criticize Howard's game attitude, but only vaguely pointed out that the Clippers' insiders played good numbers.
Most of the comments of the three after the game focused on the Clippers, and when the Lakers' press conference was held, Howard was criticized by the Los Angeles media:
"Dwight, facing an insider like the Clippers, with 20 points and 15 rebounds, what do you think of your performance?"
"Why did you get 0 points in the third quarter? Dwight, can you talk about your performance in the third quarter? How should you adjust in the next game?"
"If Kobe is here, the team will definitely not lose easily. Dwight, as a leader, do you still have the confidence to lead the team through the first round?"
Facing fancy questions from various media, Howard was completely paralyzed, especially when the Los Angeles media blamed him for the loss, which also made Howard feel aggrieved. It was obvious that there was a problem with the perimeter defense, but in the end he couldn't it's his fault
In contrast, the Clippers' press conference was very friendly. Everyone boasted about business together, and many sports media also flattered Li Ze, thinking that he would win this season's MVP. The scene was harmonious .
In the two Eastern Conference games played simultaneously that night, the Pacers easily defeated the Eagles 90:107.
保罗-乔治全场13中3,罚球18中17,拿到23分11篮板12助攻1抢断1盖帽4失误的三双数据。
Although the hit rate is stretched and there is suspicion of brushing the data, the triple-double has been well received by most football critics.
乔治-希尔发挥同样出色,10中7,其中三分球4中3,罚球1中1,18分3篮板2助攻1失误。
In another game, Big Mouth Jennings uttered wild words before the game, thinking that he would lead the Bucks to beat the Heat, but the game that night was slapped in the face.
87:110,热火队最终23分大胜对手,勒布朗-詹姆斯几乎三节打卡,11中9,其中三分球2中1,罚球11中8,砍下27分10篮板8助攻5失误。
Wade 16, Bosh 15 points, the playing time of the Big Three is about 30 minutes, obviously the two teams are not on the same level.
Another game in the Western Conference, 91:120, the Thunder beat the Rockets!
胡子球手哈登第1次打季后赛表现的有些拉胯,19中6,其中三分球6中1,罚球7中7,拿到20分6篮板2助攻1抢断2失误的数据。
This game is also a three-quarter check-in. Durant and Guigui also only played 30 minutes. They scored 24 points and 19 points respectively. The defending champion also showed his strength.
The first round of G1 games is all over, and the teams in the top half have successfully demonstrated their dominance. In the 2013 playoffs, there was basically no such thing as a bottom line.
After the first round of the G1 game, the Clippers have two days of rest.
On the morning of the 22nd, the coaching staff gave the Clippers another half-day off. At this time, Li Ze was summing up with his training team at home:
"Tony, is the medical report out? How is my knee?"
Hearing the big employer's inquiry, the trainer Tony looked a little weird, looked at Li Ze who was lying on the sofa with Ge You, and said in an inexplicable tone:
"The situation is very good, it should be said that it is incredible, the way you play has changed a lot this season, more pull-up jumpers, without any impact on the body, and you are as strong as a bull, which is really amazing. Incredible!"
Trainer Meg, as the developer of Li Ze's physical coordination, and also a daily physical therapist, knows his physical condition best. After receiving Tony's physical examination report, she couldn't help raising her eyebrows and said:
"It's really incredible. Our training plan seems to be unable to keep up with your body. Maybe Tony is right. We should be bold. In addition to core strength and training, we can carry out more training at the same time, such as reaction speed and explosive power. The model has to be readjusted as well.”
"Kayce, you need to pay attention to your diet. Your weight will continue to increase. In the future, pay attention to replacing the drinks at the party with soda water. If you don't get fat, you should thank the intensity of the NBA game."
When Li Ze heard Wagner's opinion, the corner of his mouth twitched immediately. The synthetic [Three Threat King] badge was surprisingly effective, but the A+ grade energy drink also brought him a lot of trouble. strong state.
"Next season, I need to increase ball control training and three-point shooting training. The league may introduce new rules, and I need to prepare in advance."
Li Ze's words aroused the curiosity of the three, and the trainer Tony couldn't help asking curiously:
"Will the new rules continue to strengthen outside players? The league is really crazy!"
Hearing the discussion of the three, Li Ze simply shrugged his shoulders and said with emotion:
"What the league is after is ratings and a bigger broadcast contract. Fans like to see gorgeous people. The era of big men is over. Keds will have training camp activities during the offseason. Don't forget to update the training plan. I have plenty of time to hone my skills this offseason."
"No problem, there is no national team task, which is also a good thing for you!"
Li Ze did not participate too much in the training plan customized by the three of them. Through the cooperation over the past few years, both parties trust each other very much.
And it has always been his favorite practice to entrust professional things to professional people. Thinking of the impact of the new rules next season, Li Ze smiled in his heart:
"The style of play that conforms to the times can become the biggest beneficiary!"
On the evening of the 22nd, the playoffs G2 officially started. There were two games that night.
In the Eastern Conference, 90:82, the tenacious Bulls successfully pulled back a city. After defeating the Nets in an away game, the score of the two sides also came to 1:1.
Deron Williams showed his hips, 9 of 1, 8 points, 4 rebounds and 10 assists, Gerald Wallace 7 of 1, 2 points, 3 rebounds and 2 turnovers. The contribution of these two is not to be ignored.
Western Conference, 91:93, the Grizzlies stumbled to win again. Although the Nuggets played extremely tenaciously, Randolph caused a foul at the last moment and killed the game with free throws. The score also came to 2:0.
Chris Paul watched the game from start to finish at home, noticed the Grizzlies' grinding style of play, and immediately worried about whether the team's inside line could withstand it.
"Training during the day and watching the game at home at night, you should spend more time with your son!"
Hearing what his wife Yada said, Paul could only laugh along with him. After reassuring him, he was still a little worried about the Grizzlies:
"No matter what, we must reach the Western Conference Finals this year"
On the morning of April 4, the NBA announced the Most Improved Player Award (MIP) for the 23-2012 season, and Paul George of the Pacers successfully won this award.
There were three games that night, the Eastern Conference, 86:98, and the Heat easily won the game again.
Although LeBron James generally only scored 19 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists, the gap in strength between the two teams was too obvious. America's commentators agreed that there was no suspense in this round of the series.
In another game, 71:87, the Knicks also successfully defeated the Celtics, and the big score also came to 2:0.
In this game, the Celtics scored 3 points in the third quarter and 11 points in the fourth quarter. This kind of cross-stretching offense really made many people stupid.
Coach Rivers seems to be at the end of his rope, and Pierce and Garnett are completely dead.
Carmelo Anthony scored another 34 points in this game, the Knicks fans were ecstatic, and many fans even chanted the Knicks championship slogan directly
In the Western Conference game, 100:91, the Warriors in the away game counterattacked the Spurs!
本场比赛克莱-汤普森出场47分钟,26中13,其中三分球9中8,砍下34分14篮板1助攻3抢断1盖帽1失误。
The exaggerated three-point shot directly blinded everyone on the Spurs team, and this game also shocked America's critics. Many people even thought that the Warriors had a chance to complete the black 7!
On the night of the 24th, the Clippers also ushered in their own G2. The Lakers, like the last game, started with two point guards.
Maybe it's because there is really no one else, or maybe it's D'Antoni's head coach. In short, after the first half of the game, the Lakers almost confessed again.
At 48:64, at halftime, the Clippers led their opponents by another 16 points.
The Lakers adjusted their defensive strategy and strengthened the double-teaming of Li Ze, but they also paid a huge price for this.
雷-阿伦半场7中4,其中3分球5中2,轻松砍下12分。
Coupled with Crawford's sudden outbreak, 7 of 6 and 13 points, Li Ze only played 14 minutes in the first half.
During the intermission, Reggie Miller said a little boredly in the TNT broadcast booth:
"The gap between the two teams is too obvious, and Howard made 9 of 4 in the half and only scored 10 points and 2 rebounds. Such a performance is impossible to lead the Lakers to win!"
Steve Kerr no longer paid attention to the outcome of the game, looked at the technical statistics in his hand, and suddenly said with a smile:
"The way the Clippers dealt with double-teams is very interesting. Kayce made 11 of 7 in the half, including 2 of 2 three-pointers and 4 of 4 free throws. He scored 20 points. Facing the targeted defense of the Lakers, he chose more A lot of offense without the ball, if I were to coach the Lakers, maybe I wouldn't have a good way to solve this."
Obviously Steve Kerr is still standing for D'Antoni. At present, many media in Los Angeles are calling for D'Antoni to resign. In this case, Steve Kerr can be regarded as a timely help.
After the intermission, the Lakers did not make any adjustments. At the start of the second half, Steve Nash and Steve Blake were still in the backcourt, and neither side made any adjustments to the starting lineup.
The Clippers took the lead in attacking, and Chris Paul quickly dribbled through halftime amidst the rhythmic cheers of the DJ on the scene.
At this time, Li Ze has activated the [Enter the Rhythm] BUFF, coupled with the extra speed bonus brought by the [Green Machine] badge, he has entered the strongest state.
The left flank outside the three-point line receives the ball, swings left and right, quickly lowers the center of gravity of the body, and breaks through with the ball in his right hand.
Artest slid back desperately, while Li Ze, who was making a rapid breakthrough, suddenly made a sharp change in front of his body, and then there was no sign of slowing down, and continued to accelerate the breakthrough with the ball in his left hand.
"Oh!"
In the Staples Arena, the fans at the scene let out an exclamation. Artest was directly shaken by Li Ze's change of direction, and he leaned on the ground with one hand, and almost sat down on the floor.
Li Ze's breakthrough speed was extremely fast. After entering the paint area, just as Gasol and Howard on the inside reacted, Li Ze had already jumped with both feet and flew in mid-air.
Facing the block from the two, Li Ze, who was in the air for a short time, pulled the bar sharply, from top to bottom, completely dodged the defense of the two, twisted his right wrist, the ball hit the backboard, and finally bounced accurately into the net nest!
"Oh——!"
"Too big! Too strong! Too fast! Too good!"
"That's why he is the youngest MVP!"
Li Ze passed the three-man commentator Kevin Harlan couldn't help shouting.
The fun fans and Clippers fans at the scene were screaming in excitement. Artest, who was knocked down, couldn't help cursing inwardly, while Howard at the basket was so jealous that he almost broke apart. Li Ze stole the limelight. gone!
In the first half of the third quarter, it almost became Li Ze's performance time. Both offensive and defensive ends completely suppressed the Lakers' outside line. After half the game, at 3:58, the Clippers widened the point difference to 82 points.
After the official timeout, coach D'Antoni seemed to have given up on the game and went directly to the atmosphere group.
Then head coach De Nagro also requested a timeout and replaced the main lineup.
Li Ze greeted the substitute lineup with a fist bump with a relaxed expression, sat back in his seat, took the water bottle handed by Grant Hill, refilled some water, and sighed silently in his heart:
"It seems that the effect of the purple [Ankle Terminator] badge is very obvious. Do you want to integrate it?"

The first round is almost over.
The next chapter is up to the Grizzlies - . -
(End of this chapter)
Dwight Howard once reached the Finals with a one-star system.
Relying on his unparalleled influence on the defensive end, the super center successfully limited the Cavaliers Zhan in the 1.0 period.
The annual drama of 23VS24 was even messed up by this super center.
But the heroes don't mention the courage back then. With the impact of injuries, Howard is no longer the omnipotent superman. Under D'Antoni's system, the super center seems particularly uncomfortable.
On the evening of the 21st, in the first round of G1 in the Western Conference, with 2 minutes and 34 seconds left in the first quarter, the score was 10:24. As Gasol hit a mid-range jumper from the free throw line, the Lakers scored 12. point.
Coach D'Antoni on the sidelines has gone numb, and Jody Meeks who replaced him has no effect. Antawn Jamison also failed to score a point. The Lakers' outside line was completely misfired.
Watching Chris Paul slowly dribble across the half court, he immediately played a high pick-and-roll at the 4th position. Coach D'Antoni on the sidelines couldn't help but loudly signaled that Paul Gasol was delayed.
To be on the safe side, after Gasol was delayed, Paul, who was holding the ball in his left hand, did not choose to take the risk of passing the ball to Griffin who was going down. Instead, following Gasol's delay, he crossed the ball again. To Li Ze on the left flank outside the three-point line.
After completing the pass, immediately ran to the left corner, and immediately signaled Griffin and Jordan under the basket to pay attention to the rebound.
At this time, Ray Allen had come off the bench, and the veteran was walking on the right flank outside the three-point line at this time, opening up space for Li Ze to attack.
Antawn Jamieson saw Li Ze catch the ball, and felt a little apprehensive in his heart. After receiving the ball, Li Ze made a simple three-threat, took a quick tentative step with his left foot, and then suddenly stepped forward to the right, while pressing his shoulders, The right hand holds the ball and breaks through with a cross step.
Veteran Jamison desperately slid to the left back, broke through to the free throw line, and Li Ze took advantage of the trend to pull back sharply, and then continued to hold the ball in his left hand to accelerate the breakthrough.
The defensive right front foot was attacked, making the veteran Jamison unable to react at all. After finally readjusting the focus of defense, he found that he had been squeezed by Li Ze.
Noticing that Gasol on the inside seemed to want to step forward to help defend, Li Ze, who took two big steps, suddenly used his right foot as the axis, and pulled the ball backwards with his left hand. Akira didn't know how to defend.
When Li Ze's body quickly twisted forward, exerted force on his feet, and flew into the air, and completed a mid-range fadeaway jumper, the veteran Jamison stood still in place again, without even having time to reach out.
"Shua!" Two points scored again!
Beating up the elderly didn't give Li Ze a lot of sense of accomplishment. He retreated immediately after scoring a goal. He didn't care about the Lakers' perimeter defense at all.
At 12:26, the score difference is still 14 points. In the commentary booth of TNT, Steve Kerr was not talking about the situation on the field at this time:
"Kayce seems to have strengthened his mid-range shooting this season. Many times, he will choose to end his offense at the mid-range. Of course, this is also inseparable from his precise three-pointers from the outside. After three threats, he can hold the ball with both hands and break through. The pull-up jumper is his best weapon."
Reggie Miller also chatted with him, and said with emotion:
"There is no outdated technology. Basketball is a sport of putting the ball in the basket. The Lakers are very strong inside, but Kayce can kill the game in the middle and long distances. The simple pick-and-roll cooperation allows the two big players of the Lakers to The kid is helpless."
While the two were chatting, Steve Nash and Pau Gasol completed the pick-and-roll at the top of the arc again, but this time Chris Paul quickly squeezed through the screen and continued to interfere with Nash's dribbling on the side.
There was no chance of being entangled. Nash returned the ball to Gasol on the free throw line. He wanted to take advantage of the situation to make a high-low coordination. As a result, Howard on the inside was held back by Jordan, and the two almost wrestled in the paint. .
There was no good opportunity, and Griffin's defense also began to push upwards. Gasol finally turned his body sideways, put the ball with his right hand, and moved to the three-point line, signaling Jodi Micks to play a pass. hand coordination.
But the offensive intention was too obvious. When Meeks received a hand-off pass from Gasol, Ray Allen was close to the opponent, not giving the opponent a chance to easily dribble and break through.
Perhaps it was the big lag that made the Lakers players dizzy. After Jody Meeks broke through from the top of the arc with the ball in his left hand, he threw the ball to Antawn Jamison on the right wing outside the three-point line.
When the ball was about to pass in front of Jamison, Li Ze, who had been shrinking inside the three-point line, was like a nimble leopard, suddenly jumped up, saw the opportunity and grabbed the ball directly, and stole the ball away!
Veteran Jamison just wanted to chase and defend, but found that Li Ze dribbled the ball so fast that he had already crossed the half court.
Li Ze, who holds the ball in his left hand, accelerated crazily, stepped on the free throw line and took off quickly. Amidst the screams of fans in the Staples Arena, Li Ze took advantage of the situation and turned the ball around in the air. Pull it to your side, then slam the ball into the hoop!
"Boom!" The windmill dunked successfully!
"God! The game may be over, Kayce has completely dominated the perimeter!"
Commentator Kevin Harlan looked at the frustrated Lakers players on the field and couldn't help but announce the end of the game early.
Howard on the field looked at Li Ze, who was in the limelight, and couldn't help cursing. Since he was dunked, he has put all his energy on the defensive end, waiting for Li Ze to break through and come in!
As a result, after waiting for most of the game, Li Ze was either in the middle distance or switched offenses, which made this super center powerless.
Seeing that the point difference was widened again, Coach D'Antoni sat back on the bench directly.
Steve Blake was robbed once by Li Zesheng, oppressed the defense and fumbled the ball once, and there was no big difference between Jody Meeks and Antawn Jamison in the second half of the first quarter. was completely suppressed.
The coaching staff of the Lakers couldn't bear to look straight at the sight of Jody Meeks hitting another iron from beyond the three-point line. It's painful to watch you play!
This time Li Ze had just received the ball in the right block position, and Jody Meeks cooperated with Antawn Jamison to double-team Li Ze.
Faced with such a defense, Li Ze was not in a hurry, he protected the ball steadily, and dribbled two steps out with his left hand. Before the double-teaming between the two was about to form, he immediately jumped up and threw the ball to the free throw line to respond. griffin.
At this time, the Lakers' defense was a bit embarrassing. Howard on the inside was responsible for defending Jordan, while veteran Steve Nash defended Ray Allen and Paul alone.
When Griffin threw the ball to Paul on the left baseline, Paul had an open shot, but seeing Steve Nash suddenly defended, Paul passed the ball to Ray on the left wing outside the three-point line. - Alan.
The latter catches the ball, facing such a large open opportunity, without making too many adjustments, he quickly shoots a jumper from outside the three-point line!
"Allen! Wide open! That's good!"
The commentator Kevin Harlan yelled passionately when he saw Ray Allen hit a three-pointer.
The Clippers scored 31 points. Li Ze celebrated with a smile and high-five veteran Ray Allen.
The veteran made 41.9% of his three-pointers in the regular season, averaged 24.5 minutes per game, and could contribute 11.6 points. At present, Ray Allen is the most stable substitute for the Clippers in the transition period. Lawford, the coaching staff also trust the veteran more.
In the last minute of the first quarter of the game, Steve Nash made a difficult throw. Veteran Jamison made 1 of 2 free throws, and the Lakers finally scored 1 points.
At the end of the first quarter, at 15:35, everyone on the Lakers team who walked to the bench was silent, and Howard didn't have a smile on his face.
The 20-point difference left the three in the TNT commentary speechless. The game ended just after it started. Is this the playoffs?
"Kayce performed very well. He made 7 of 6 in the first quarter, made 2 of 2 free throws, scored 14 points, 1 rebound, 2 assists and 2 steals. Facing the double team of the Lakers, he handled the ball very well several times. Of course, we must also praise Look at Griffin's performance, his support at the free throw line is also very important!"
Looking at the technical statistics in his hands, Steve Kerr didn't mention the performance of the Lakers players. After all, scoring 15 points in a single quarter can be said to be a big leap.
"With such a point difference, maybe the Lakers should give it a go. At this time, not only the inside players need to stand up, but other outside players also need to shoot boldly."
Reggie Miller played the role of a good old man. He did not criticize Howard, who scored 4 of 1 in a single quarter and scored 2 points. Instead, he simply pointed out the problem of the Lakers' perimeter.
The three of them started to help the Lakers in the commentary booth, and the head coach D'Antoni was also desperate at this time, directly smashing the main force!
In the rotation stage, Steve Blake, Artest, Pau Gasol, Dwight Howard continued to appear, Jody Meeks replaced Steve Nash, and the Lakers came directly to four. starting lineup.
As for the Clippers, the coaching staff rotated step by step. Bledsoe, Ray Allen, Crawford, Turiaf, and Hollins appeared on the stage. Obviously, the 20-point difference allowed De Nagro to take the lead. The coach has plenty of confidence.
Howard, who traveled on a staggered peak, finally showed his super center strength in the second quarter. He came up with a fierce attack and scored consecutive points at the basket!
Although the defense of the bench lineup is really mediocre, Jamal Crawford is also at ease facing the Lakers' perimeter. He made sudden shots on the offensive end and successfully withstood the Lakers' counterattack.
After playing for more than three minutes in the second quarter, seeing that the point difference was still not narrowed, head coach De Nagro replaced Matt Barnes and Ray Allen, and then Tucker also got a chance to play , After replacing Turiaf, the lineup on the field became smaller and smaller.
在第2节比赛还剩4分31秒时,场上的比分为30:50,分差依然还是20分。
Li Ze made his appearance again with 4 minutes left in the first half. The audience at the Staples Center burst into cheers when they saw Li Ze enter the field.
The Clippers attacked, and Li Ze stood in the left corner after halftime. Artest didn't dare to be careless, and kept facing Li Ze, as if he didn't want him to catch the ball easily.
Noticing that Griffin was moving in the direction of Li Ze, Artest quickly approached Li Ze, and at the same time concealedly pulled with his hand.
At the top of the arc, Paul just completed a high pick-and-roll with Jordan Jr., and after getting rid of Nash's defense with his left hand, Li Ze also started immediately.
The sudden explosive start slowed Artest's defense a step, and then he was hung up by Griffin who was on the screen. When Li Ze easily received the ball on the left wing outside the three-point line, Artest The chasing defense is not in place yet.
Faced with such an excellent opportunity, Li Ze did not make any adjustments, and quickly shot a jumper from outside the three-point line after receiving the ball!
"Shua!" The three-pointer hit the net hollowly!
"The Lakers may consider changing a defender. Obviously Artest can't keep up with Kayce's rhythm."
Seeing that the game was going to be completely spent, Steve Kerr couldn't help complaining about the Lakers' perimeter defense.
Lezi fans began to scream excitedly again. For them, the result of the game is not important, what is important is to see the star score
Howard seemed a little dissatisfied with the team's perimeter defense. While serving the ball, he pulled his face and complained:
"Hey! We can't let him score easily, let's defend! 23 points difference!"
But no one responded to such complaints. Artest didn't even look at Howard, and ran towards the half court blankly to prepare to attack.
In the next few rounds, Howard also began to become frustrated. Because Li Ze and Paul pulled up the perimeter defense intensity, Nash and Blake could not pass the ball easily.
In many cases, Pau Gasol completed the pass. After two consecutive turnovers, the frustrated Howard's speed of returning to defense also dropped suddenly.
Taking advantage of Gasol's mistake, Paul quickly launched a counterattack again. He immediately sent the ball to Li Ze on the left flank. Ze immediately sent a lob pass.
When the ball arrived, Griffin caught the ball in the air, stayed in the air for a short time, then turned the ball around, grabbed the ball with one hand with his left hand, and smashed the ball into the basket!
"Boom!" The empty catch dunk was successful!
The wonderful alley-oop dunk instantly ignited the atmosphere of the Staples Arena, and the Lezi fans yelled happily, while Kobe on the bench felt the joyful atmosphere of the scene, his eyes blazed, and he said nothing send.
The Clippers played an iconic three-line fast break, which also heralded the complete collapse of the Lakers' defense.
As the defensive intensity declined, Chris Paul took advantage of the situation and hit hard, using Jordan's high pick-and-roll twice in a row to hit two three-pointers at the top of the arc outside the three-point line.
In the two defenses, Howard failed to delay in time, which made the coach D'Antoni on the sidelines a little annoyed, and shouted to the players on the field to keep their defensive focus.
With Gasol's mid-range miss again, Li Ze received a long rebound, and the Clippers launched another conversion attack.
Quickly dribbling through the half court, Steve Blake has been constantly harassing at his side. When he came to the right flank beyond the three-point line, Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his right hand, suddenly lowered his center of gravity and accelerated again.
When approaching the three-point line, the right hand took advantage of the trend and pulled back the crotch, and then the left hand paused slightly. At the same time, the right hand pretended to join the ball. A simple emergency stop and a fake move by Buddha made Steve Blake subconsciously jump up to block the shot.
Seeing that the opponent was shaking, Li Ze quickly changed direction with his left hand, and then accelerated with all his strength while holding the ball in his right hand, completely passing the opponent's defense and rushing directly to the penalty area.
Howard, who returned to the basket, saw that Li Ze made a successful breakthrough, and immediately prepared to hit him hard. However, Li Ze, who was on the move, saw that Howard had completely ignored Jordan on his side. The moment he approached the paint area, he immediately threw the ball to the basket. Throw it on the basket.
Li Ze passed the ball very high and easily passed Howard's fingertips. Under the basket, Jordan jumped high, grabbed the ball with both hands, and pressed the ball into the basket hard!
"Boom!" The empty pick and eat the pie!
Jordan, who successfully dunked, yelled excitedly, stood in front of Howard and beat his chest. This scene immediately made Howard very angry.
In the next few rounds, Howard began to frequently ask for the ball in the low post again, and because the Lakers' outside line was really stretched, the Clippers' defenders near the outside line began to cooperate with the inside players to double-team.
Under the attack of Matt Barnes and Jordan Jr., Howard threw the ball to Artest on the left flank with difficulty, and the latter hit the iron again with an open three-pointer!
The long rebound was accepted by Li Ze again, and then quickly launched a conversion attack.
Blake wanted to make a tactical foul immediately, but Li Ze dribbled the ball behind his back with his right hand, easily swayed it, and accelerated to cross the half court with the ball in his left hand.
Li Ze, the left winger outside the three-point line, began to slow down, and Steve Blake stepped forward to interfere. At the moment of sticking to the defense, Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his left hand, suddenly in and out slightly, and then accelerated again.
After seeing the opposite direction, Li Ze dribbled the ball behind his back with his left hand and returned to the three-point line. Before Blake could react, he quickly shot the three-pointer!
"Wow! Kayce Another three! YES!"
Although the game completely lost suspense, the commentator Kevin Harlan yelled excitedly when he saw Li Ze complete the three-pointer.
Steve Blake was completely paralyzed, and Li Ze's offense completely destroyed him. From the beginning to the present, his defense has never been successful.
And scoring this conversion three-pointer also made the Clippers' bench jubilant, there is no suspense!
In the remaining 2 minutes of the second quarter, the Lakers, who broke the defense, could only use fouls to stop Li Ze. With 2 free throws made steadily, the Lakers players on the field have completely collapsed.
At the end of the half, at 37:66, the Clippers have led by 29 points.
Except for the happy fans in the Staples Arena, the Clippers fans were all smiling, while the Lakers fans who bought tickets to watch the game broke their defenses. Is this the playoffs?The promised super center dominates the inside?
After the start of the third quarter, Howard didn't seem to want to play anymore, and he didn't ask for the ball in the low post, nor did he go to the high pick-and-roll. This super center completely lost his fighting spirit.
In the third quarter, the score was zero in a single quarter, only 3 rebounds were grabbed, and a turnover was also sent.
With the Clippers releasing water, the Lakers only scored 20 points in a single quarter.
At 57:92, the Clippers continued to expand their lead!
Coach D'Antoni also discovered Howard's situation. After playing for more than three minutes in the fourth quarter, he directly switched to the atmosphere group and completely declared defeat.
At this time, Li Ze had already changed into his training uniform and was sitting in his seat. In the fourth quarter, he didn't have to play.
"It seems that we can easily pass the first round. I didn't expect the F4 of the Lakers to fail so much this season."
Griffin, who also changed into his training uniform, was in a good mood. Watching the score on the court, Brother Surface mocked the performance of the Lakers by the way.
"The offensive and defensive rhythm of the Lakers is too slow, maybe they can think about their opponents in the next round in advance."
Hearing Li Ze's words, Chris Paul on the side suddenly thought that he might meet the Grizzlies in the next round, and his joy suddenly disappeared. He glanced at Jordan who was waving a towel on the sidelines, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion. for a moment:
"Fortunately, we have home court advantage. Whether it's going to Denver or Memphis, it's bound to be a difficult game."
As soon as Paul finished speaking, the fun fans at the scene saw Earl Clark complete a dunk and cheered for the Lakers' goal. Such a scene immediately made the corner of Paul's mouth twitch, maybe he was too optimistic
The garbage time passed quickly, and the referee didn't blow the whistle too much. In the end, at 81:114, the Clippers beat the Lakers at home, and the series came to 1:0.
"Facing a team like the Clippers, you can't win with only 81 points!"
"Kayce only played 27 minutes, 16 of 12, including 3 of 2 three-pointers, 6 of 6 free throws, extremely efficient scoring 32 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals, and no turnovers. The Lakers' perimeter defense is thorough. Failed!"
Steve Kerr predicted before the game that this round of the series would be 4:1, but after the actual match, he found that the Lakers were weaker than he thought, so he was unceremonious in his comments after the game.
“克里斯-保罗11中7,其中三分球4中2,罚球4中4,高效砍下20分2篮板10助攻2抢断,并且同样没有失误。”
"I don't know what adjustments Coach D'Antoni will make in the next game. Griffin made 10 of 6, 16 points and 10 rebounds, and Andrew Jordan had 6 points and 10 rebounds. Judging from the current situation, the Lakers have no advantage." .”
Reggie Miller still didn't criticize Howard's game attitude, but only vaguely pointed out that the Clippers' insiders played good numbers.
Most of the comments of the three after the game focused on the Clippers, and when the Lakers' press conference was held, Howard was criticized by the Los Angeles media:
"Dwight, facing an insider like the Clippers, with 20 points and 15 rebounds, what do you think of your performance?"
"Why did you get 0 points in the third quarter? Dwight, can you talk about your performance in the third quarter? How should you adjust in the next game?"
"If Kobe is here, the team will definitely not lose easily. Dwight, as a leader, do you still have the confidence to lead the team through the first round?"
Facing fancy questions from various media, Howard was completely paralyzed, especially when the Los Angeles media blamed him for the loss, which also made Howard feel aggrieved. It was obvious that there was a problem with the perimeter defense, but in the end he couldn't it's his fault
In contrast, the Clippers' press conference was very friendly. Everyone boasted about business together, and many sports media also flattered Li Ze, thinking that he would win this season's MVP. The scene was harmonious .
In the two Eastern Conference games played simultaneously that night, the Pacers easily defeated the Eagles 90:107.
保罗-乔治全场13中3,罚球18中17,拿到23分11篮板12助攻1抢断1盖帽4失误的三双数据。
Although the hit rate is stretched and there is suspicion of brushing the data, the triple-double has been well received by most football critics.
乔治-希尔发挥同样出色,10中7,其中三分球4中3,罚球1中1,18分3篮板2助攻1失误。
In another game, Big Mouth Jennings uttered wild words before the game, thinking that he would lead the Bucks to beat the Heat, but the game that night was slapped in the face.
87:110,热火队最终23分大胜对手,勒布朗-詹姆斯几乎三节打卡,11中9,其中三分球2中1,罚球11中8,砍下27分10篮板8助攻5失误。
Wade 16, Bosh 15 points, the playing time of the Big Three is about 30 minutes, obviously the two teams are not on the same level.
Another game in the Western Conference, 91:120, the Thunder beat the Rockets!
胡子球手哈登第1次打季后赛表现的有些拉胯,19中6,其中三分球6中1,罚球7中7,拿到20分6篮板2助攻1抢断2失误的数据。
This game is also a three-quarter check-in. Durant and Guigui also only played 30 minutes. They scored 24 points and 19 points respectively. The defending champion also showed his strength.
The first round of G1 games is all over, and the teams in the top half have successfully demonstrated their dominance. In the 2013 playoffs, there was basically no such thing as a bottom line.
After the first round of the G1 game, the Clippers have two days of rest.
On the morning of the 22nd, the coaching staff gave the Clippers another half-day off. At this time, Li Ze was summing up with his training team at home:
"Tony, is the medical report out? How is my knee?"
Hearing the big employer's inquiry, the trainer Tony looked a little weird, looked at Li Ze who was lying on the sofa with Ge You, and said in an inexplicable tone:
"The situation is very good, it should be said that it is incredible, the way you play has changed a lot this season, more pull-up jumpers, without any impact on the body, and you are as strong as a bull, which is really amazing. Incredible!"
Trainer Meg, as the developer of Li Ze's physical coordination, and also a daily physical therapist, knows his physical condition best. After receiving Tony's physical examination report, she couldn't help raising her eyebrows and said:
"It's really incredible. Our training plan seems to be unable to keep up with your body. Maybe Tony is right. We should be bold. In addition to core strength and training, we can carry out more training at the same time, such as reaction speed and explosive power. The model has to be readjusted as well.”
"Kayce, you need to pay attention to your diet. Your weight will continue to increase. In the future, pay attention to replacing the drinks at the party with soda water. If you don't get fat, you should thank the intensity of the NBA game."
When Li Ze heard Wagner's opinion, the corner of his mouth twitched immediately. The synthetic [Three Threat King] badge was surprisingly effective, but the A+ grade energy drink also brought him a lot of trouble. strong state.
"Next season, I need to increase ball control training and three-point shooting training. The league may introduce new rules, and I need to prepare in advance."
Li Ze's words aroused the curiosity of the three, and the trainer Tony couldn't help asking curiously:
"Will the new rules continue to strengthen outside players? The league is really crazy!"
Hearing the discussion of the three, Li Ze simply shrugged his shoulders and said with emotion:
"What the league is after is ratings and a bigger broadcast contract. Fans like to see gorgeous people. The era of big men is over. Keds will have training camp activities during the offseason. Don't forget to update the training plan. I have plenty of time to hone my skills this offseason."
"No problem, there is no national team task, which is also a good thing for you!"
Li Ze did not participate too much in the training plan customized by the three of them. Through the cooperation over the past few years, both parties trust each other very much.
And it has always been his favorite practice to entrust professional things to professional people. Thinking of the impact of the new rules next season, Li Ze smiled in his heart:
"The style of play that conforms to the times can become the biggest beneficiary!"
On the evening of the 22nd, the playoffs G2 officially started. There were two games that night.
In the Eastern Conference, 90:82, the tenacious Bulls successfully pulled back a city. After defeating the Nets in an away game, the score of the two sides also came to 1:1.
Deron Williams showed his hips, 9 of 1, 8 points, 4 rebounds and 10 assists, Gerald Wallace 7 of 1, 2 points, 3 rebounds and 2 turnovers. The contribution of these two is not to be ignored.
Western Conference, 91:93, the Grizzlies stumbled to win again. Although the Nuggets played extremely tenaciously, Randolph caused a foul at the last moment and killed the game with free throws. The score also came to 2:0.
Chris Paul watched the game from start to finish at home, noticed the Grizzlies' grinding style of play, and immediately worried about whether the team's inside line could withstand it.
"Training during the day and watching the game at home at night, you should spend more time with your son!"
Hearing what his wife Yada said, Paul could only laugh along with him. After reassuring him, he was still a little worried about the Grizzlies:
"No matter what, we must reach the Western Conference Finals this year"
On the morning of April 4, the NBA announced the Most Improved Player Award (MIP) for the 23-2012 season, and Paul George of the Pacers successfully won this award.
There were three games that night, the Eastern Conference, 86:98, and the Heat easily won the game again.
Although LeBron James generally only scored 19 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists, the gap in strength between the two teams was too obvious. America's commentators agreed that there was no suspense in this round of the series.
In another game, 71:87, the Knicks also successfully defeated the Celtics, and the big score also came to 2:0.
In this game, the Celtics scored 3 points in the third quarter and 11 points in the fourth quarter. This kind of cross-stretching offense really made many people stupid.
Coach Rivers seems to be at the end of his rope, and Pierce and Garnett are completely dead.
Carmelo Anthony scored another 34 points in this game, the Knicks fans were ecstatic, and many fans even chanted the Knicks championship slogan directly
In the Western Conference game, 100:91, the Warriors in the away game counterattacked the Spurs!
本场比赛克莱-汤普森出场47分钟,26中13,其中三分球9中8,砍下34分14篮板1助攻3抢断1盖帽1失误。
The exaggerated three-point shot directly blinded everyone on the Spurs team, and this game also shocked America's critics. Many people even thought that the Warriors had a chance to complete the black 7!
On the night of the 24th, the Clippers also ushered in their own G2. The Lakers, like the last game, started with two point guards.
Maybe it's because there is really no one else, or maybe it's D'Antoni's head coach. In short, after the first half of the game, the Lakers almost confessed again.
At 48:64, at halftime, the Clippers led their opponents by another 16 points.
The Lakers adjusted their defensive strategy and strengthened the double-teaming of Li Ze, but they also paid a huge price for this.
雷-阿伦半场7中4,其中3分球5中2,轻松砍下12分。
Coupled with Crawford's sudden outbreak, 7 of 6 and 13 points, Li Ze only played 14 minutes in the first half.
During the intermission, Reggie Miller said a little boredly in the TNT broadcast booth:
"The gap between the two teams is too obvious, and Howard made 9 of 4 in the half and only scored 10 points and 2 rebounds. Such a performance is impossible to lead the Lakers to win!"
Steve Kerr no longer paid attention to the outcome of the game, looked at the technical statistics in his hand, and suddenly said with a smile:
"The way the Clippers dealt with double-teams is very interesting. Kayce made 11 of 7 in the half, including 2 of 2 three-pointers and 4 of 4 free throws. He scored 20 points. Facing the targeted defense of the Lakers, he chose more A lot of offense without the ball, if I were to coach the Lakers, maybe I wouldn't have a good way to solve this."
Obviously Steve Kerr is still standing for D'Antoni. At present, many media in Los Angeles are calling for D'Antoni to resign. In this case, Steve Kerr can be regarded as a timely help.
After the intermission, the Lakers did not make any adjustments. At the start of the second half, Steve Nash and Steve Blake were still in the backcourt, and neither side made any adjustments to the starting lineup.
The Clippers took the lead in attacking, and Chris Paul quickly dribbled through halftime amidst the rhythmic cheers of the DJ on the scene.
At this time, Li Ze has activated the [Enter the Rhythm] BUFF, coupled with the extra speed bonus brought by the [Green Machine] badge, he has entered the strongest state.
The left flank outside the three-point line receives the ball, swings left and right, quickly lowers the center of gravity of the body, and breaks through with the ball in his right hand.
Artest slid back desperately, while Li Ze, who was making a rapid breakthrough, suddenly made a sharp change in front of his body, and then there was no sign of slowing down, and continued to accelerate the breakthrough with the ball in his left hand.
"Oh!"
In the Staples Arena, the fans at the scene let out an exclamation. Artest was directly shaken by Li Ze's change of direction, and he leaned on the ground with one hand, and almost sat down on the floor.
Li Ze's breakthrough speed was extremely fast. After entering the paint area, just as Gasol and Howard on the inside reacted, Li Ze had already jumped with both feet and flew in mid-air.
Facing the block from the two, Li Ze, who was in the air for a short time, pulled the bar sharply, from top to bottom, completely dodged the defense of the two, twisted his right wrist, the ball hit the backboard, and finally bounced accurately into the net nest!
"Oh——!"
"Too big! Too strong! Too fast! Too good!"
"That's why he is the youngest MVP!"
