Chapter 1089 Selected for a team

The conference finals in the west is the Los Angeles Derby, and in the east it is the Kaizi against the Heat.

The Bucks, the favorite champion of the Eastern Conference, are out, which makes people feel embarrassing. On the one hand, the Heat’s team basketball and Jimmy Butler show off their superstar qualities in the playoffs. On the other hand, facing the opponent’s zone defense, Antetokounmpo’s shooting weakness enlarge.

In the playoffs, if a superstar has a weakness, he will definitely be targeted by his opponent. Your ability to pass in the first round is not because you have not been targeted, but because the overall strength of the opponent is not good enough. Once the overall strength can wrestle with you, the problem it came out.

In Xie Kai's view, Antetokounmpo is not as good as Young Zhan now. James still had a shot at that time, but he was not at the elite level.And at that time, there was no space environment like it is now. In the 08 Eastern Conference Finals G7, he also watched that game. The Cavaliers had Big Z and Big Ben on the inside... But today's Bucks, Daluo's offensive end on the inside is standing. Those outside the 3-point line are basically the configuration of "one star and four shots".The team has a stable second-in-command Mi Dou, and the depth of the lineup is also good. It is indeed Antetokounmpo's problem that such a lineup can't pass the Heat.

The Lakers had 4 win and 1 losses against the Clippers in 3 games in the regular season. Xie Kai was absent-minded in the only game he won.But this does not mean that they were passively beaten in the playoffs. They easily advanced two rounds of the playoffs with 4:1.

Although the Clippers played against the Nuggets in the second round, they passed easily in the end, but they exposed the problems of the inside line. Their inside line Zubac and Harrell have no shooting range, and they also have problems with pick-and-roll defense. They do not have a strong independent offensive ability. And can't find a player who is suitable for the thick eyebrows.

The Lakers also have their own problems. Their shooting problem is still very big. Pope and Tielin, the "crashing dragon and phoenix chicks", have too many ups and downs in shooting, especially Tielin, who has not been very accurate in the playoffs so far.The team's wing talent reserve is still problematic. Except for James, Kuzma is the only qualified striker, and the others are basically guards.Facing the opponent's striker group, this is basically the rhythm of exhausting Lao Zhan.

On September 9, G19 of the Western Conference finals officially started.

Both sides are regular starters, the Lakers are Zhan Mei + McGee + Wolongfengchu; the Clippers are Xiejiao + Heibei + Morris Jr. + Zubac.

For the Lakers, James played 1 on the offensive end and 3 on the defensive end.

For the Clippers, pickle is naturally defending James, and Zubac is defending thick eyebrows.

After the start of the game, both sides played very restrained. With big centers on both sides, it was difficult to run the offensive rhythm.

The reason why the Clippers still use Zubac is because the opponent has James, the league's top attacking rim player.

Xie Kai has played against James so many times, it is difficult for a pure space lineup to withstand his impact, and having a meat shield on the inside and a top defender on the front line are the standard equipment for playing against his team.

The thick eyebrow is not a teacher, he can't rub Zubac wantonly in the low position, and the Clippers have a flank against the thick eyebrow, but they don't flank James.

It's not because James' offensive threat is less than thick eyebrows, but there is a clear gap between the two in their ability to play the ball.Part of the reason why the thick eyebrows were unable to lead the team to the next level in the Pelicans was that he was more afraid of flanking, and the ball was not fast enough or accurate enough. This refers to George in the Pacers and his facial paralysis in the Raptors.

Sitting in the Clippers team is the Bass coach who worked with James in the Cavaliers. He really knows the ball in his hands, and I have it in the world.Bass knows James, his habits and abilities, and what defense he likes and what defense he doesn't like.

The Lakers didn't dare to flank Xie Kai easily. Even if the Clippers had Zubac in the starting lineup, they still had 4 3-pointers.

Whether it is Pope or Tielin, Xie Kai cannot be restricted one-on-one.In the end, Nongmei was forced to fight in person, but it still didn't work.

Fang Xiekai with thick eyebrows has the advantage of height and wingspan, but he can't keep up with the opponent's speed.Xie Kai is too fast, and now his core strength is good, as long as he grabs his position, it will be difficult for the opponent to grab it back.

In this game, Xie Kai was simply lawless. He scored 44 points and led his team to beat the Lakers and win the Western Conference Finals for the first time!
Two days later, on September 9, the Western Conference Finals G21.In this game, the Lakers changed their lineup. They took out the small lineup that defeated Mosaic in the semifinals, and let Morris play 2 and thick eyebrows 4!

The Clippers have not changed, and are still the starting lineup of the previous game.

At the beginning of the game, the Lakers showed their determination to win. The thick eyebrows participated in the pincer attack, and the others took turns, occasionally vacating Zubac and Morris Jr.

On the offensive end, Zhan Mei picked and rolled, James forced to cooperate with thick eyebrows to eat alone, and linked the shooter.

The existence of Zubac became very embarrassing, because after the opponent didn't have McGee inside to drag the space, if he didn't go out, he would shoot from the outside with thick eyebrows, but if he went out, James rushed in and no one would protect the frame.

Any hesitation would be bad, Zubac made consecutive mistakes, and the opponent continued to counterattack. After a linkage of 3 points, the score opened.

The Clippers put Zubac down again, and Harrell came up, but the opponent was already red-eyed, shooting inside and outside, omnipotent.Even the crouching dragon and phoenix chicks had a stable 3 points in this game, and they didn't give the opponent the confidence to let go.

In the second half, Xie Kai and Paojiao were in a hurry, but the score was stretched, and they were powerless to chase points when they were flanked.

The Lakers have a good lineup defense, and Zhan Mei's control of the field is basically stable. The Clippers finally have no hope of chasing points. They lost this game and the series score became 1:1!

After the game, Big Mouth Barkley said that the Clippers were in trouble. If they couldn't crack the opponent's lineup with thick eyebrows and hit 5, the Clippers would stop in the Western Conference Finals.

The words are rough and the rationale is not rough, the lineup with thick eyebrows and 5 has completely opened up the space, and the defense has not declined.Morris is not as good as McGee Howard in grabbing rebounds and blocking shots, but he can shoot 3 points, open up space, and defend the opponent's flanks. This is of greater tactical significance in today's league.

On September 9, the NBA officially announced the best team of the season.

Those selected for the first round are: Xie Kai, Harden, James, Brother Antetokounmpo and Brother Nongmei.

This is the 9th time that Xie Kai has been selected to the league's best team of the season, and it is also the 8th time.Although the regular season MVP has not yet been announced, according to the information disclosed so far, the possibility of him winning for the fourth consecutive season has exceeded 4%.

That night, Western Conference finals G3!

The Clippers have changed!They started Patterson at center and dropped Zubac!
This lineup is not unusual, because in the semifinals, the Clippers used this lineup to kill the Nuggets led by Teacher Yue.
