I'm really good at shooting.

This is more similar to the Thunder in history.

Although Griffin has short hands, his low-post offensive skills are actually pretty good. He hit Millsap with his back and turned over a Tyrannosaurus rex and wiped it to the bottom of the basket.

But at the moment of his shot, Yao Ming helped defend to the basket in advance.

Griffin tried to hide but was short-handed.

"boom!"

Yao Ming, another big hat to Griffin!

This time the Staples Center was completely boiling.

Yao Ming went straight to the top of the game at the beginning!

After Yao Ming received another rebound, the Lakers advanced to the frontcourt.

Yao Ming played again in the low post, and this time Griffin helped defend from the weak side.

Yao Ming's reaction was also quick, and he passed the ball to Millsap in the bottom corner.

Millsap made a three-pointer.

"when!"

It's a pity to miss.

but!

Yao Ming grabbed the offensive rebound over Jordan's head, and then made a tip-up from close range to score!

Sun Hao was a little stunned by this scene.

Yao Ming's thighs are a bit thick tonight!

Facts have proved that Sun Hao's feeling is right. Yao Ming's state in the first game of the playoffs can be described as fiery.

In the whole game, Yao Ming played three quarters and already scored a large double-double of 30 points and 15 rebounds!

Well, 4 caps left!

This performance directly let Sun Hao lie down and win.

Although the Thunder's fighting spirit was very strong, they also lost in three quarters in the end when they completely lost the interior.

The Lakers eventually defeated the Thunder 106 to 86 to win their first playoff victory.

On social media after the game, the fans also fell into a carnival.

When Yao Ming won the MVP of the All-Star Game, the Lakers fans were excited, but as time went by, doubts still appeared uncontrollably.

Some fans feel that Yao Ming's statistics are completely out of date, so there is no reference value.

But now it's all right. The first game of the playoffs was such a perverted stat of 30+15 in three quarters, it was a good slap in the face for them.

Swipe, you must be capable on the stage of the All-Star Game!

The first game of the series was just a test in the playoffs, but the tone of this round of the series was already set in the first game.

During the previous regular season, it was Howard Chandler who put on pain masks one by one, but now, Jordan is "only for one person".

Before Yao Ming was in the East, and the Lakers had just returned from injury, Jordan's feeling was not so strong.

Now until the playoffs, throughout the entire series, he felt powerless and hopeless.

Even, he has empathy across time and space for those centers who used to be the same generation as the peak O'Neal.

If the inside line is lost, Yao Ming can only let Yao Ming wreak havoc on the inside line. The success rate of positional defense is terribly low, which prevents the Thunder from playing to their strengths.

This basically determines the fate of the Thunder.

Except that Westbrook broke out at home and beat Knight to the ground, and the Thunder won a thrilling victory, the Thunder basically had no resistance in other games.

4 to 1, the expected fierce game did not appear in the end. The Lakers finally defeated the Thunder and advanced to the Western Conference semifinals.

Now what they have to wait for is their opponent in the semifinals of the division.

At this time, several matchups in the West also entered a fever pitch.

Except for the Warriors sweeping the Hornets without any suspense, the remaining two groups of games all went to Tianwangshan.

Led by the old Nowitzki with 33 points in a single game, the Lone Ranger won Tianwangshan in the game against the Clippers.

On the other side, the Spurs teenager Leonard played his defensive ability of death entanglement, entangled the injured Rose and the healthy Gay together, and the Spurs also defeated the Grizzlies 91-81 Got the initiative in the series.

It seems that the Mavericks and Spurs have a better chance of winning the series.

But after watching the entire series, you know that's not the case.

These teams are extremely close in strength, and the outcome may be the most critical rounds.

There is a high probability that it will be a tiebreaker.

After the Lakers ended their own series, they also turned their attention to the Spurs and Grizzlies.

Harris organized the whole team to watch the G6 game between the two sides.

They were bored before watching the game, and the two were also guessing the result of G6.

Yao Ming is more optimistic about the Grizzlies, and his words are very good to Gasol.

This feeling is a bit like the way O'Neal saw Yao Ming back then.

Just like people's life, some people feel that some things are automatically acquired when they are old.

But now in the era of withered centers in the league, Gasol Jr. has comprehensive skills, and he can be regarded as a person who can pass on the center torch.

Sun Hao also felt that the Grizzlies had a great chance tonight, since they were playing at home after all.

But in general, he thinks the Spurs are more likely to win.

After all, he still knows Popovich very well. If there is an opportunity, he will never let the opportunity slip away.

This isn't exactly a compliment.

The game started quickly, and it was a life-and-death battle at home. The Grizzlies played a very high-intensity offensive and defensive quality in the opening game.

Especially for Rose, the Spurs were helpless with various emergency stops and changes of direction, and Popovich could only look on the sidelines.

A detail that needs attention is that this Spurs team is basically the same as the Spurs team in history, but it lacks a key perimeter top defender.

That's right, "Huang Ama" Danny Green.

Green was selected by the Warriors together with Matthews. Matthews directly signed a fat contract with the Wizards because the contract ended earlier, but Green is still in the Warriors!

Green had some disagreements with the Warriors because of the contract before, and it will be difficult for the Warriors to keep him when the contract ends this summer.

But at least they are still in the Warriors, and the Spurs have one less outsider who can keep up with Rose.

What?Leonard blocked it before?

Leonard is a forward after all, and he restricted Rose in the last game more by protecting the basket.

But tonight Rose is in great shape, and he made consecutive mid-range shots from the outside.

And Yao Ming was also very happy to watch, because all of Rose's chances came from Gasol's pick-and-roll.

Gasol Jr. has the basket, mid-range, pick-and-roll, and defense. His technical characteristics are very similar to Yao Ming.

After halftime, the Grizzlies led the Spurs 53 to 41.

The difference of 12 points is not too big, but it is not too small for two teams with excellent defensive capabilities.

It seems that Yao Ming's luck is better tonight. The Grizzlies and Spurs are going to win the tiebreaker in this round of the series.

After returning from the 15-minute halftime break, at this time, Popovich was shot on the scene.

Under the camera, Popovich's face flushed, and it seemed that the past 15 minutes of rest time were not very comfortable for the Spurs players.

But after the start of the second half, that discomfort helped the Spurs.

The Spurs' defensive strength has obviously strengthened, and the difficulty of scoring for the Grizzlies has suddenly become much more difficult.

Of course, after the Spurs put in a lot of physical strength on the defensive end, their own offensive performance has also obviously declined.

The result is that the intensity of the confrontation on the field continues to increase until...

Ross was injured.

Before he deeply realized that his style of play hurt his knee, Rose's style of play was extremely tense, entertaining and self-harming.

When the defensive intensity is relatively average, he doesn't need to do those exaggerated quick starts and stops, and the situation is better.

But when the team can't score, the desire to win makes Rose unable to control himself.

And when the Spurs defend, they won't lower you just because you have a strong desire to win. Stephen Jackson knocked Rose over in a confrontation, and Rose couldn't get up with his knees in his arms.

Watching Rose being carried off the court by his teammates, and when the camera captured the scene where the corners of his eyes were red, Sun Hao was inexplicably touched.

The biggest difference between Rose and Iverson is their flamboyant personality, but sometimes you can easily connect them with their competitive spirit.

Originally, Sun Hao thought that he didn't need to suggest something to Rose, but at this moment he suddenly changed his mind.

Rose retired from injury, and the game lost its suspense. The Spurs finally defeated the Grizzlies 89-73 and advanced to the Western Conference semifinals with a big score of 4-2.

In this way, the opponent of the Lakers will be determined accordingly.

What I said before finally became true, and Sun Hao was about to meet Popovich again.

After watching the game, Yao Ming was feeling sorry for Gasol, but Sun Hao was watching Yao Ming.

Seeing that Rose was injured, he was actually a little worried about Yao Ming.

Although Bowen and the man named Ferry have retired and are no longer with the Spurs, Popovich is still there.

If it is true that Jackson or Blair hit Yao Ming twice, Yao Ming may not be able to do well.

Injury is like a virus, it finds you, and it is not so easy for you to get rid of it.

"Dayao, you worked hard playing the Thunder, let me play the Spurs."

Sun Hao got up and patted Yao Ming on the shoulder and said.

Yao Ming raised his head and looked at Sun Hao in a daze.

Of course he didn't know what Sun Hao was thinking, he just felt that Sun Hao didn't take the Spurs seriously when he said this.

According to the strength of the Spurs, it is difficult to beat alone.

"Don't worry, I have played the most Spurs and have a lot of experience."

Seeing Yao Ming's doubts, Sun Hao said with a smile.

Yao Ming nodded this time.

This is true. The Spurs have been in the championship team all year round since they had Duncan, and Sun Hao's team has always been the favorite for the championship because of him.

And Sun Hao's performance is not bad every time he plays against the Spurs, just like Kobe, he is a bit of a Spurs sufferer.

Seeing that Yao Ming listened to the persuasion, Sun Hao also heaved a sigh of relief.

Although letting Yao Ming stop playing will definitely make the playoffs more difficult, and may even be in danger of overturning, but compared to Yao Ming's health, it is still worth it.

After the Spurs series, the first round of the Eastern and Western Conference basically came to an end.

Two days later, the Lone Ranger team struggled to defeat the Clippers in the tiebreaker, crushing the Clippers to get the last spot in the Western Conference semifinals.

The semifinal matchup in the Western Conference also came out.

Lakers VS Spurs, Warriors VS Mavericks.

The first round was already exciting enough, this round is very interesting just to watch the matchup.

You must know that in the first round, fans still felt that the Clippers had regrets because of Howard and the Grizzlies because Rose could not play their full strength.

But in the second round, this kind of problem will not appear again.

Moreover, the configuration of these teams is almost "perfect", and the excitement here is visible to the naked eye.

In contrast, the east side is a bit "going through the motions".

The Knicks and Bulls both swept to advance to the second round.

The remaining Pacers also easily solved the Bucks 4-1.

The only slightly suspenseful Eagles and Pistons only scored 4-2 in the end.

And it is also 4 to 2, the Eagles came from 3 to 1, the suspense is not big.
