The strongest champion puzzle

Chapter 102 Huge Advantage
The Lakers are still strong inside, Gasol and Howard both scored in double figures in the first half.

In comparison, Splitter is a few grades lower, and it is difficult for Duncan to fight alone.

However, the Spurs belonged to a team with a balanced interior. Parker showed his power at the beginning of the second half. In fact, neither Nash nor Blake could guard Parker.

More importantly, Howard's foul is still a hidden danger. Rough technique is rough technique, and even the first center can't be cured.

Parker was blocked by Howard in the first half, but the French sports car is an old fritter, and he can't even fluctuate in his heart. In the third quarter, he stepped up his attack, and Howard was in tragedy. The total fouls of two fouls reached four and he had to leave the game early to rest. .

Without Howard, the Spurs' breakthrough was easier and more enjoyable. They couldn't stop the outside line, and no one stopped inside. The score advantage came to more than 10 points.

Then Howard played again, only to find that he was being targeted seriously.

Splitter just squeezed him, and fought all kinds of melee without the ball. If Howard squeezed in and got the ball, he would be flanked immediately. Howard is not Gasol, and his coping ability is not that strong.

As a result, Howard made consecutive mistakes, and he pushed anxiously, beep... the fifth foul.

After Howard went down, the Spurs immediately changed to the most powerful lineup of one team and four teams. Parker was still unstoppable, and Zhang Xiaotian also scored 7 points. This time the Lakers gave up the game early, and the Spurs won the game with a total score of 2:0.

Kobe almost smashed the TV while watching the live broadcast at home. With his competitive personality, he can only watch the team lose at home. One can imagine how painful it is.

He couldn't help but make comments on social media to spur the team, which made everyone unhappy.

Zhang Xiaotian understands Kobe very well, and he has a deep understanding of the pain of not being able to personally participate in the victory or defeat of the game. Let alone someone like Kobe, it is a pity that this year's lineup suddenly changed.

The same day the Spurs went 2-0, the other two teams did the same.

The Pacers easily won the Eagles, and Paul George proved that his performance was not accidental.

Obviously, Josh Smith can't support the Hawks, and the Hawks must continue to change if they want to go further.

The Thunder also won the Rockets by accident, Durant and Westbrook were still unstoppable, the difference is that Harden exploded in this game, one person made more free throws than the two, scored 36 points and grabbed 11. In addition, Beverly, who was put on the starting lineup, also scored 12 rebounds. It is conceivable how hard the Rockets are.

It's a pity that Delfino missed a three-pointer in the end, and they narrowly lost by three points.

The Rockets played three backs this time, but Jeremy Lin's role has been reduced, and he feels out of place with this team.

He needs a lot of ball possessions to play at a high level, but he can't reach the core level of the team, which is quite embarrassing. The Rockets have discovered that a guard like Beverly who dares to fight and can do dirty work without occupying the ball It is more suitable to stay with Harden.

Moreover, he was injured in this game.

The playoffs continued, the Heat beat the Bucks in an away game, and the Bucks played well at home, but they still made people feel unstable, and then it proved that there was a big gap between the two teams.

Fans said that watching the Heat and Spurs games is the same. They don't give their opponents any chances and make people fall asleep. The first round of the playoffs feels more and more boring.

The Big Three dominate the matchup, and the substitute Ray Allen also dominates the matchup. There is really nothing to fight.

The Bulls returned to the home court and continued to beat the Nets by three points, leading the total score 2:1.

However, in the defensive battle between the two teams, the rhythm was slower, 79:76, and the score was played like this is also a talent.

After Jimmy Butler became the team's starter, he was the one who worked hard on defense.

In the playoffs, outstanding young people also emerged one by one. In the regular season, many players who looked similar, some were real gold, and some were silver pewter heads.

In addition, in the game between the Grizzlies and the Clippers, after going to the Grizzlies' home court, they won a match as everyone expected. The black and white bears beat the Clippers twin towers, and the more man had the last laugh.

On April 4, the Spurs came to Los Angeles for their first away game in the playoffs.

The Lakers' room leak happened to rain overnight, and Nash was also sidelined due to injury.

"We are still confident that we can make a comeback and win this series," Howard said in an interview, showing the momentum of losing but not losing. "We have finally made it to the playoffs. Will give up because of the score behind and multiple injuries."

Now the Lakers' backcourt players have become Andrew Goodlock and Darius Morris. Goodlock was also signed by the Lakers after the regular season to fight the fire. The Development League MVP did not expect to be in the playoffs. There is a chance to start.

It's just that Howard managed to say a good word, and he fouled a little too early. With more than 4 minutes left in the first quarter, he made two fouls and went down to rest.

The Spurs Parker, Duncan, and Leonard all suppressed the opposing players, and they had a relatively large advantage from the beginning. In fact, the young people of the Lakers are still good. Goodlock scored the highest 14 points of the two teams at halftime. Points, unfortunately meaningless.

Duncan was brutal, Parker was ruthless, leading by more than 20 points in three quarters, and then Popovich asked everyone to go up and play, regardless of the Lakers insisting on using the main force.

All 13 players from the team got a chance to play, and everyone scored. Even the Spurs bench was filled with joy.

Some people are happy while others are worried. Howard's Spurs' substitutes were all fouled five times, which is quite miserable.

The Lakers' hope of advancing was completely extinguished, but the Spurs also encountered some troubles. Their starting center Splitter was injured and could not participate in the next game.

However, his ring can be said to be the least important point for the Spurs, and has little effect on the strength of the Spurs.

Similarly, the Knicks went to the away game and won the Celtics again, becoming another team with a 3:0 lead. The Celtics are really dying this season.

The Warriors returned to the home court and won the Nuggets by 2 points. Their previous game was extremely fierce. The Warriors David Lee changed after being injured, giving people the feeling that they have become stronger.

The three defenders are one big and four small, and their offensive power is terrifying. The most terrifying one is called Stephen Curry. He is omnipotent in scoring, organizing and stealing. rebound.

Well, Paul can grab it, Westbrook can grab it too, and the current No. [-] position is not so traditional.

Zhang Xiaotian sent a message to his girlfriend in the hotel, discussing when he could shine in the playoffs.

Yang Feiyu didn't get a ticket for the away game, and Yang Feiyu originally planned to come to play without a ticket, but it happened to coincide with the graduation ceremony, so the two could only communicate with each other on their mobile phones.

In fact, this is very good, otherwise Zhang Xiaotian would not be able to stay together because of team discipline, wouldn't it be a pleasure to come with Zhang Xiaotian.
