Legend of Tomorrow

The playoffs continued, and the Suns won another away game, leading the Spurs 3-0.

In the fourth game at home, the Spurs finally avoided the embarrassment of being swept by winning a game as a whole. The players worked hard on both offense and defense.

The most eye-catching performance in this game was second-year rookie Kawhi Leonard. He defended Roy on 2 of 12 shots and only scored 4 points in the game.

The statistics don't lie. Leonard's single defense ability is outstanding. He is 201cm tall and has a wingspan of 221cm. He also has a pair of big hands, with the length of his palms as high as 29.21cm when fully opened. They have excellent ductility and can interfere with shooting very well.

Many people now say that he is like Pippen. Leonard is still very calm and rarely shows his emotions on the court. His face is expressionless whether he successfully scores a goal or blocks an opponent's shot.

Another hero was backup point guard Derek Fisher. He made 4 three-pointers and scored 16 points, which was a superb performance.

Entering the playoffs, Fisher averaged 2.2 three-pointers per game, shot 43.9% from the field, and scored 8.7 points in 23 minutes. With his eye-catching performance in the playoffs, he should be able to continue playing in the NBA next season, as long as he doesn't want to retire and other teams don't care about his character.

On the defensive end, Fisher was completely out of control and could only play as a shooting guard. He was passed over by Thomas as a point guard. He is also not responsible for organization, averaging 0.7 assists per game in the playoffs.

The process of Fisher joining the Spurs was very tortuous and caused great controversy because he first joined the Mavericks.

Lao Yu has been a controversial player before, playing tricks on the Jazz and Rockets. This season he has begun to show off his skills again.

After the contract ended in 2012, Laoyu became a free agent. He spent one season in the Knicks as a marginal player with no data, and no one cared about him in the free market. He chose to contact the Mavericks and expressed his willingness to join.

Since the Mavericks roster already has 15 players with guaranteed contracts, the management needs to cut one player to make room for Fisher. Cuban was very enthusiastic about Fisher at the time and thought he could help the team.

However, Fisher only played 9 games for the Mavericks before he was injured. It was not serious, but he did not want to come back. He told Cuban that he wanted to spend more time with his family while recuperating, so the generous Cuban readily laid him off.

After being laid off, Fisher said: Cuban is very supportive of me and he agreed to my request. I can't describe in words how good they have been to me. I would like to sincerely thank Mark, the coaching staff and the Mavericks players for their support. My chance.

I have decided to give up money and opportunities before,

I will make another decision. For me, family comes first, and I choose family. I won’t completely rule out the possibility of a comeback, but right now, the most important thing is my family and staying close to them.

What a good father. This is the second time he has been cut off from spending time with his daughter.

However, Fisher returned two months later. Instead of returning to the Mavericks, he joined the Spurs, who seemed to have a chance to win the championship.

So, Mavericks exploded.

In fact, some details of labor rules are involved here. Fisher was not bought out in the Mavericks like not reporting to the Rockets, but was waived. The difference between the two is that the amount of money the former gets is agreed upon by both parties, which is usually less. The latter is how much money Fisher can get according to the contract.

Moreover, once the contract amount is reduced and the player is bought out, the original team cannot re-sign the player.

Fisher had planned it from the beginning, and I don’t know what kind of ecstasy he poured into Cuban to make Cuban believe that he might return to the Mavericks next season. If he had known that Fisher would never return or even switched jobs to the Spurs in the same district, Cuban would definitely choose to buy him out in a way that saves money.

This is fraud. Fisher took the full buyout and joined the Spurs without notifying the Mavericks management in advance. This habitual offender-like operation is really unmatched. He also left the Jazz like this back then and turned around to join the Lakers.

An angry Cuban said in an interview: At that time, life was far more important to Fisher than the basketball game. The playoffs were about to begin, and life became unimportant again.

It would be difficult to find someone worse than Fisher in the NBA throughout NBA history.

The Spurs' character was completely ruined by Fisher and it was impossible to win the championship. In Game 5, the Suns won at home by 14 points and advanced 4-1.

In another Western Conference series, the Warriors eliminated the Thunder 4-2.

In Guo Xu's previous life, Westbrook was knocked out by the Rockets' Mad Dog Beverley in the first round of this year's playoffs. Now Westbrook is alive and kicking, but the Thunder are not that strong and cannot break the Warriors' zone defense.

The Warriors are just four people huddled near the penalty area in a 122 zone defense, allowing Thunder players to take mid- and long-range shots. It is impossible for the Thunder to score easily in the penalty area. The Warriors have three big men in the starting lineup, and Luol Deng is 206cm.

The Thunder manager has to take responsibility for the defeat. Every year the team is eliminated due to a lack of three-pointers, and he just doesn't introduce three-point shooters.

This season, the Thunder only have two three-point shooting spots, Durant and Kevin Martin, and their shooting percentage is less than 40%. Sefolosha can barely shoot three-pointers, averaging 1.1 goals per game and shooting 31.6%.

The Thunder also have Russell Westbrook who dares to take shots from outside the three-point line. He averaged 5.3 shots per game in the playoffs, second only to Durant who took 6.4 shots in the playoffs. He can hit 1.5 goals and his shooting rate is 28%.

This year Wei Shao also dared to take responsibility as in previous years. He shot 41.5% from the field, averaged 20.9 throws per game, scored 26 points, 6.6 rebounds and 7 assists, and had a team-high 4.5 turnovers.

Durant took slightly more shots than Wei Shao and was not blocked. Al Horford was really guarded. He couldn't display his stable mid-range shooting and supporting passing abilities. He averaged only 8.6 shots per game, scoring 13.6 points, 8.8 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 0.8 blocks.

Horford, who shot 59.2% in the playoffs, averaged 8.6 shots per game. The Thunder coaching staff did not consider changing tactics to allow Horford to take more shots in isolation. Coach Scott Brooks has been questioned by many basketball experts and is likely to be dismissed in the summer.

The Knicks eliminated the 76ers 4-1 in the Eastern Conference, and the Cavaliers eliminated the Heat 4-2.

Although Odom did not deteriorate as much as he did after joining the Mavericks, he has become a veteran at the age of 34 and his condition has inevitably begun to decline.

Granger missed 27 games this season due to injury. After his return, he was in a sluggish state. He shot only 41% from the field and 33.3% from three-point range in the playoffs, scoring 11.2 points. He earns a star's annual salary and only serves as a role player.

There was no suspense in the Western Conference finals. The Suns easily eliminated the Warriors 4-1. They played the same way as in the regular season. Inside players pulled out to cover constantly. Guo Xu received the ball and played singles on the weak side, or attracted double teams to distribute the ball.

Luol Deng can limit Roy's performance, but there is nothing he can do with Guo Xu.

The biggest advantage of the Suns is that Guo Xu can single out all the Warriors' outside players and maintain a super high scoring efficiency. Without double-teaming, his shooting percentage would be over 60%, which would make him impossible to play.

As soon as the Warriors double-teamed, Guo Xu took advantage of the situation and distributed the ball to Thompson and the center to show off his power. Gortat's defense was not as good as Gasol, but he couldn't leave him open in the low post. He can turn around on both sides to hook, and if he catches the ball while facing the frame, he can dunk in one step.

Entering the playoffs, Gortat averaged 13 points, 8.2 rebounds and 1.6 assists in only 30 minutes per game, shooting 63% from the field.

Whiteside, the substitute, also performed well when he came on the court, and his statistics were very good. He averaged 6.5 points, 4.1 rebounds and 0.8 blocks in 12 minutes per game, and shot 67.2% from the field.

It's not surprising that the Suns center is very efficient. After catching the ball, he hits the basket and shoots from close range. As long as there is someone in front of him, they will pass the ball, regardless of mid-range shots.
