Chapter 270 Semifinal opponent, the Lakers
Black dog bites chicken, the name is really not very good, but Li Du also knows that the names of the moves in many boxing techniques are not very pleasant, and there is no domineering and mighty name for each move as in the novel.The names of most boxing techniques have something to do with training techniques and meanings, which are straightforward and concise.

Since the Warriors swept the Nuggets, and everyone in the Western Conference played inextricably, this gave Li Du enough time to practice this trick.

In other games in the Western Conference, the Lakers unexpectedly tied the young Thunder 2-2. The Spurs were also held back by the Mavericks, also tied 2-2!Among the top three in the Western Conference, only the Warriors have successfully advanced.

Although Li Du was surprised that the Thunder could compete with the Lakers like this, he deeply understood Kobe's temper, and that was the end of it for the Thunder, and it was only a matter of time before the Lakers eliminated them.However, the battle between the Mavericks and the Spurs surprised Li Du. He thought that as the Mavericks' lineup that was about to fight the whirlwind gradually fell apart, they should not cause much trouble to the Spurs. Unexpectedly, the Mavericks were so tenacious. .Li Du couldn't guess who would advance to the next round between the Mavericks and the Spurs.

There is no suspense between the Suns and the Blazers. After losing Roy, the Blazers' youth guards also lost their leader, which cannot be compared with Nash and Stoudemire.

Ignoring other teams, Li Du and the Warriors are now focusing on the game between the Lakers and the Thunder. Their opponent in the Western Conference semifinals is the winner of the two teams.Although Li Du firmly believes that the Lakers will win, there are many people who support the Thunder, because Durant and Westbrook are really difficult to defend!
Both of them are talented players, and it is too easy for them to score. Li Du himself estimated that even if he made a shot himself, he could only limit one of them, and there was no good way for the other. up.

Li Du's remarks surprised the inside of the Warriors. You must know that Li Du can only limit the opponent to one person only when facing superstars such as Kobe and James. When facing other teams without superstars, the Warriors revolve around Li Du. For defense, he can support a whole defensive system by himself!From this aspect, it can be seen how powerful the two future super scorers of the Thunder are!

In Li Du's heart, he actually hoped that the Lakers would lose the game!There are two reasons. The first is because if the Warriors face the Thunder in the Western Conference semifinals, then Li Du has a great chance of winning the series!The Thunder are still too young after all, and they rely on Durant and Westbrook. As long as Li Du can strangle one of them, no matter how strong the other is, they can't match the Warriors!
Another reason is that Li Du doesn't really want to play in Los Angeles.He has many friends in Los Angeles, and he is also very eager to fight Kobe again, but apart from them, Los Angeles is still Scarlett's home!After being together day and night for more than a month, Li Du understood Scarlett's thoughts about him very well, but if Scarlett fell in love with him, he always felt that it was impossible.

In Li Du's mind, the reason why Scarlett is so interested in him now is probably because she just got divorced and is in a vacant period, and Li Du is the only person who will take the initiative to keep a distance from her. She is curious and interested in Li Du. It's just fun.

If the Warriors' opponent in the Western Conference semifinals is the Lakers, in the entertainment capital of Los Angeles, the matter of Li Du and Scarlett will inevitably be guessed by countless people, and Li Du will be too embarrassed if they even ask.

Li Du didn't pay much attention to the situation in the Eastern Conference, but he believed that there were only two teams that could reach the championship this season, the Celtics and the Cavaliers!
Just when Li Du was earnestly learning new tricks and had to endure Scarlett's increasingly daring teases to him every day, the Lakers finally didn't give the Thunder another chance, defeated the Thunder with a big score of 4 to 2, and successfully joined the Warriors for a half finals!
After getting the news, Li Du immediately appeared in the old Nelson's office, and he asked, "Coach, how should we fight the Lakers? They don't have any obvious weaknesses in the lineup!"

Old Nelson nodded and didn't speak, but asked Li Du to sit down first.The question Li Du asked was also a question he was considering.

The Lakers lineup is very strong. Kobe and Gasol are top players. Bynum has grown rapidly in the past two seasons. Now he can be regarded as one of the inside leaders. Although there is still a gap compared with Yao Ming, the Lakers' inside But Bynum is not the only one.In addition, Odom has also matured. Although he still gets distracted from time to time on the court, he is getting closer to his idol, Scottie Pippen!

Casually, the Lakers have four strong players, and the Warriors, apart from Li Du and Yao Ming, only Curry is slightly better. Shooting and confrontation are his perpetual flaws.

The Warriors' inside line is even more problematic. Except for Yao Ming, no one can compete with the Lakers' two big inside lines. Radmanovich has made great progress under Li Du's guidance, but he has a low starting point after all. It's okay to play on other teams, but if you play against Bynum or Gasol, you can only be blown up.

From the perspective of the lineup, the Warriors have no advantage against the Lakers. Their only way is to maximize their crazy three-point shooting and fast offensive and defensive tactics since this season!As for how to play against the Lakers, it needs old Nelson to think hard.

When Old Nelson was thinking about it, Li Du was also thinking about the same problem.They played against the Lakers 4 times this season. Except for the second half of the season, when everyone didn’t care about the game, they had one win and one loss in the two key games. The one they won was when Li Du and Kobe scored against each other. In the end, both scored 60+.

But this kind of match is rare in a hundred years. No one can guarantee that Li Du and Kobe will score more than 60 points every time they face off!And in Li Du's heart, this playoff is the first real contest between him and Kobe.During the regular season, although Li Du and Kobe scored 60+ points, they were more competing for their personal strength at that time, rather than leading the team to victory like a true leader.This time they met in the playoffs, whether it is Kobe or Li Du, they must stand for the consideration of the team and lead the team to victory.

If the contest between Li Du and Kobe in the regular season is like a duel between two martial arts masters, then their contest in the playoffs this time is a battle of wits between two generals who command thousands of troops brave.

Li Du sat quietly in the old Nelson's office, but the flames of war ignited in his heart, "Boss Kobe, my master in basketball, let me truly see how powerful you are as the No.1 basketball player in the world!"
