Chapter 237 237. Playoffs in Progress
The Heat beat the Nets, that kind of devastating victory made people have to sigh that the Big Four of the Nets are really old, even Deron looked so old in front of Chalmers and Kerr, Kidd regarded Deron as a peace Rondo's use is undoubtedly a big trick.

A fierce battle that people expected turned into a one-sided massacre, which was quite unexpected. The game between the Spurs and the Trail Blazers was also beyond people's expectations. Even Popovich did not expect the Blazers to be so powerful!
The Trail Blazers are a well-known team in the league that only rely on the starters. Except for the five starters, the substitutes playing in the development league are not good enough. People think that as long as the Spurs start to delay the time that the Blazers are on the court, they can rely on the second team. Take away the game.

But even Popovich didn't expect that Aldridge and Lillard, a second-year player, teamed up to blow up the Spurs' starters!
Aldridge scored 51 points in regular time, playing post-up singles inside, terribly accurate mid-range catch and shoot, and hit 29 of 20 super high shooting percentages. Aldridge performed perfectly, scoring 29 points and 15 assists in regular time, dragging the Spurs into overtime abruptly!
Fortunately, the Spurs have a deep lineup, and there is also a strong rotation lineup in overtime, and the five main players of the Blazers have exhausted their physical strength. The Spurs beat the Blazers in overtime and won their first victory.

On the 5th, the entire Lakers team conducted an in-team training. The main content was a tactical drill against the Thunder. It lasted for two hours, and the rest of the time was free for training.

"I didn't expect the Trail Blazers to be so good, and they were dragged to the end with the Spurs! I don't know who the next opponent will be!" Thackeray sighed about last night's game.

"Those two pioneers are really powerful. They can bring us a lot of trouble every time, but they are just too arrogant!" Liu Ren snorted coldly.

Kobe rolled his eyes at Liu Ren and said, "Who is more arrogant than you? Damir and Radmarcus are indeed very good young people, especially Damir. I admire him very much. He has a lot of fighting spirit and wants to fight with you." It's normal to fight over who is stronger, wouldn't it be boring if he gets scared when he sees you?"

Liu Ren thinks about it, it is true, the game against the Blazers is so interesting, isn't it because these two guys are so powerful and so arrogant?There are very few opponents like this in the league now!

However, Liu Ren is still a little puzzled: "I can understand Lillard's arrogance. He was dissatisfied with his draft pick in his rookie year. Last season, he declared that he was the best rookie last year, and he did it. The best rookie. But Aldridge is too strange. I remember him as a very restrained guy, and he is not as good as he is now. Nate, you're so good on both ends of the floor! It's unbelievable!"

"I don't understand this point." Kobe also found it difficult to understand.

"I think I know why Radmarcus is so good all of a sudden. No, he has always been so good. It's just that he doesn't take it seriously when he doesn't have a goal to work hard for." Thackeray is the most powerful diplomat of the Lakers. People, especially after he was elected as the All-Star starter and entered the circle of superstars, his social scope has become wider.

Of course, it doesn't mean that Thackeray has the strength and voice of a superstar, but he can get in touch with those superstars more, and because of Kobe's face, those stars also put Thackeray in their eyes.

"You traitor! You actually called those two pioneers so affectionate! Tell me, what do you know!" Liu Ren said, staring at Thackeray.

"What kind of rebels, Liu, you're making it too ugly, isn't Kobe calling them by their first names? You're the only one who likes to call people by their surnames! I'm just familiar with them. I knew Damir when I was in college. , we entered the league in the same year, of course we will know each other, I had a dinner appointment with Tumen during the All-Stars, got to know Radmarcus, and found him a very interesting guy.” Thackeray Say it quickly.

Liu Ren asked with great interest: "Quickly tell me what you learned!"

"How should I put it? He's a weird guy. If he doesn't have motivation, he'll play lazily. It's enough to get 20 points and 10 rebounds. If he has motivation, he will go crazy like playing against us. , Playing with full strength. Damier told me that Radmarcus is the strongest power forward he has seen since he played, whether on TV or after entering the league, yes the strongest!” Thackeray said.

Liu Ren said thoughtfully: "That is to say, he will use his full strength because he wants to defeat us?"

"I think he wants to kill you, an arrogant guy, not us. We didn't see Radmarcus so seriously before we played against the Trail Blazers!" Kobe said deliberately.

Liu Ren not only didn't regret that he didn't know why he gave others the impression of being arrogant, but was very excited!
"Is that so? That's interesting, isn't it? I really hope they get rid of the Spurs, so I can play against these two guys!" Liu Ren said excitedly.

Kobe appreciates Liu Ren's domineering side very much. This is what he wants to be his successor, but he is not so optimistic about the Blazers: "But I think the Spurs must win in the end! Your idea is probably going to fail. "

"Why? The Blazers seem to have a good chance of winning, don't they? No one in the Spurs can compete with Damier and Radmarcus, right?" Thackeray asked curiously.

"The Trail Blazers are really strong in the starting lineup. Except for the starting center, everyone else has an All-Star level, but this is not enough to beat the Spurs. Now their three old men have not exerted their strength. Don't underestimate the Spurs..."

……

The NBA playoffs are in full swing. On the night of the 5th, the Knicks continued to beat the Wizards with a 110-87 victory over the Wizards, stirring up trouble in the playoffs as a dark horse.
