Chapter 1096 The western semifinals derby is here~
Before the start of the semifinals of each division, the NBA officially released the list of the best second team for the 2014-15 season. The selected 6 people are Chris Paul of the Los Angeles Clippers and Russell of the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Westbrook, Pau Gasol of the Chicago Bulls, Marc Gasol of the Memphis Grizzlies, LaMarcus Aldridge of the Portland Trail Blazers, DeMarcus of the Sacramento Kings
Cousins. Cousins was selected as a forward, not a center.
The Gasol brothers had equal votes, so they were selected to the All-NBA Second Team at the same time. This is also a beautiful story in the NBA. But only Tang Qian knows that this is probably the reason for his "little butterfly". Because the original 14-15 season
Marc Gasol should be ranked in the first team of the season. It seems that he was snatched away from the first team. It is a pity for Bosh. He has missed too many due to injuries, so this time the selection of the best team has not been completed.
There is really no guarantee that he will be there. The competition in the frontcourt is equally fierce. At least James has firmly occupied a spot. Unless he is selected with the same votes, it is hard to say.
Bosh seemed a little depressed, but he still had a professional spirit and wanted to finish the first series against the Clippers first.
In this round of series, the outside world predicts that the Lakers should have a higher winning rate than the Clippers. After all, the Lakers have a complete victory in both the regular season winning rate and the first round winning rate. The outside world is more optimistic about the Lakers, and there is nothing wrong with it. The country also agrees that unless the Clippers
There was a collective explosion there, otherwise, the Lakers would have a high chance of advancing to the Western Conference Finals.
The Clippers were not that timid and responded to Magic Johnson and Kobe Bryant’s tweets:
This series will definitely not be that simple, and we will fight you to the end.
Staples Center, on May 4th, the Lakers and Clippers appeared here at the same time.
After all, this series is also star-studded, at least far more star-studded than the Eastern Conference. Look at how many All-Stars and All-NBA defensive teams the Clippers have? The fighting in the Western Conference is really not something to be covered.
.
Many people were present for this game, including the Rose sisters, Karlie Kloss, and Taylor Swift.
Tang Qian will turn off his mobile phone during the playoffs and not contact anyone. When necessary, he will contact his agent Zhou Zhiru and ask her to send a few tweets for him. In this way, these American girls will really contact him, saying
"Eager to see them" is a bit exaggerated, but at least they are "anticipated". However, they are all hidden in the crowd. There are so many people and there are countless celebrities, so Tang Qian really can't see them at once. Well, he won't know if he sees them.
What is the next move? Because he has now entered the playoff mode. Before winning the championship or going home to fish, he will not let any external objects affect his state of mind.
He is destined to be obsessed with basketball throughout his life.
He has relived his life these past few years, not to live in the city, but to realize his basketball dream.
Before the game, the strongest core members of both sides began to greet each other or talk trash. For the Clippers, it was naturally Chris Paul. For the Lakers, there was no doubt that No. 29 Tang Qian stepped forward. The two touched their palms symbolically, and then
The reporter was the first to speak: "Hey, we meet again. This time it's the playoffs. By the way, have you bought the fishing equipment?" Paul is also an absolutely tough old-school player. Despite his small stature, he is
His temper was not small at all, and his words were not ambiguous. Tang Qian really enjoyed this kind of pre-match confrontation. He smiled and said: "Yes, we meet again. We have bought the fishing equipment.
, But, this is for you. We won’t be able to use it for the time being, right?”
"Then I want to see who used it for whom," Paul said.
"It must be your Los Angeles Clippers." Tang Qian didn't evade, but said directly.
The two people had friction and fighting spirit from the beginning. Tang Qian even thought to himself that it would be great if he could get Paul over. It's not that he doesn't like Jeremy Lin, but to be honest, the gap between Jeremy Lin and Paul is still only visible to the naked eye.
It can be seen that the two people are not on the same level. This is not to look down on his teammates, but Tang Qian has a natural affinity with such old-school players. You can say that he will not give Paul any face on the court, but this is not the case.
It means he doesn't like such powerful players.
However, this presupposes that Paul is willing to come over and serve as his second boss.
Otherwise, there is no need to talk.
He absolutely does not accept the idea of multi-core. For a person who aims to win the championship or even consecutive championships or more, multi-core is the source of instability. It is far from being as united as one person leading the team and obeying orders and prohibitions. And now Paul
He has no plans to play the "second boss". The latter is also a senior NBA superstar. The man-made high-level data king at the 1st position is not just a boast, so even if he wants to transfer, he still needs to find someone to play.
"Dual core" place.
At least, that's what it sounds like.
Otherwise, he would have a hard time getting over this hurdle in his heart.
This game is still in the morning in China, so many people got up, sat in front of their computers or TVs, and couldn't wait for the live broadcast to start. Among them, the support rate of the Lakers exceeded the Clippers. On the other side of the ocean, the Lakers
Now is the home team, the one they want to support together. The Clippers? Three star players? Huh? So what?
Should China support the Lakers or support the Lakers?
Tianchao Sports Channel.
"The warm-up of both sides is over. Let's take a look at the starting lineup. The Clippers' starting lineup is Chris Paul + Blake Griffin + DeAndre Jordan + Matt Barnes + J.J. Ray
Dick. This year's Clippers lineup is really good. They have three All-Star players in the team. To be specific, they are 2 All-Star lineups + 3 All-NBA lineups + 2 Best defensive lineups.
This configuration is definitely considered to be a very good book strength this season. What do you think, Director Zhang?" After Mei Xingyu finished talking about the basic situation of the Clippers, he asked Zhang Weiping on the side to provide opinions. Zhang Weiping was also unambiguous and said: "Look.
It looks pretty good, but I think it still has big flaws.”
"Oh, that guide means..."
"What I mean is that the Lakers have Tang Qianqian No. 29, and one inside man can beat two of the other team." Zhang Weiping will have obvious personal emotional bias in any Lakers game. As a regular partner, Meteor Rain has already
That is to say, he is not surprised. Besides, he also agrees with the former meaning. Since Tang Qian can handle Howard, he can at least handle one of the Clippers' All-Star insiders.
At the beginning of the game, Tang Qian and Jordan competed for the ball and won. The Lakers made a quick push and scored, 2-0.
Jordan and Tang Qian compete for the ball. Under normal conditions, there is basically no hope.
J.J. Redick broke through, but was interfered by Tang Qian and missed a layup. The Lakers rebounded and continued to attack. Jeremy Lin saw the opportunity and actually threw a high ball and completed an alley-oop with Chris Bosh.
With a dunk and a "bang" sound, the Lakers got their second goal of the game. The Clippers gave it to Griffin. Griffin sat down to beat Bosh and turned around to break through. Bosh's strength and tonnage were not as good as Griffin's.
Finn's wingspan is much stronger than Griffin's, so he can barely interfere.
The ball missed. Tang Qian collected the low rebound, and Jeremy Lin held the ball and attacked again.
Jeremy Lin pushed with his right hand and passed it to Ariza. Ariza wanted to shoot, but there was no chance. He passed it to Chris Bosh on the other wing. Bosh singled out Griffin and missed because of the thickness of Griffin's body.
It's still very strong, but Bosh's chance wouldn't be very good if he fought so hard. Jordan was about to get the rebound, but was beaten by someone behind his head.
he is the one……
"Fang got the offensive rebound, what will Fong do? Oh? Here he is, hitting the rebound under the basket, and the Lakers once again widened the score difference. Since Fang killed Howard in the last round, he has become a brave man in the paint.
Unstoppable mode. This is really amazing. I wonder how long I can maintain this state?" Lakers on-site commentator Bill McDonald said.
At this time, the score was 6-0. The Clippers made another passing and receiving error. Jeremy Lin successfully transitioned from offense to defense, 8-0. The Lakers beat the Clippers at the beginning, which made the commentators on the scene use more language.
Bold, as if the Clippers were no match for the Lakers at all. If Paul hadn't stepped up and scored one at this time, the Clippers' scoring drought might have continued. But in the first quarter, the Lakers suppressed the overall
The Clippers had no problem, leading 35-24 and 11 points into the second quarter.
The Lakers' scoring in this quarter was very average. No one scored particularly much, but no one scored particularly little. Such a multi-point blooming model made it a bit difficult for the Clippers to resist. On the offensive end, the Clippers actually only had 2 inside players.
1, that is Blake Griffin. Jordan, isn’t it that Tang Qian looks down on him? His offensive ability needs to be strengthened. With 11+ points per game this season, it is almost impossible to break Tang Qian’s basket one-on-one.
Defensively dominant.
However, as soon as Tang Qian came on the court, he was chased by the Clippers for a wave of points. This situation continued into the second quarter. Because the Lakers changed their inside line from Tang Qian to Sacre, the Clippers began to score consecutive kills.
The Clippers' shooting percentage in the first quarter was not very good, but what is the most effective way to play when the hand is not feeling good? Of course, the closer to the basket, the better. That truth remains unchanged, on the basketball court, the closer to the basket, the better.
, then the dependence on feel will be smaller and the success rate will be higher.
This makes Tang Qian anxious, but there is no way. He can only distribute his physical energy in this way and force himself to stay on the court. In the final decisive quarter, which is the fourth quarter, his court efficiency will be greatly reduced, which will outweigh the gain. Without Tang Qian,
Suddenly, the Clippers' inside attack was suddenly opened up. Griffin and Austin Rivers attacked continuously, allowing the Los Angeles Clippers to help the team tie the game with only 5 minutes passed in the second quarter.
. Tang Qian couldn't sit still anymore and began to invite Ying to come on stage.
But D'Antoni's opinion is still to be tolerated for the time being. As a head coach, his considerations are more overall.
In the end, when Tang Qian came back on the court, the score difference was widened to 5 points. Of course, the Clippers took the lead. The Lakers' offense was a bit unstable in this period, sometimes working well and sometimes not working well. Point guard Fama came on the bench.
Er made two consecutive mistakes, which also allowed the opponent to overtake the score difference and made a big "contribution". In terms of controlling mistakes, there are almost no No. 1 positions in the league that can be compared with the Clippers' No. 1 position? Don't forget Farmar.
Now, will it be useful if he replaces the main player Jeremy Lin?
You can't disagree with Paul on this point. His playing style at the No. 1 position is indeed strong.
Tang Qian came back on the field, and he had an effect as soon as he came on. The main reason was that the defensive end was instantly strong, and rebounds were no longer easily obtained by opponents. This made the Lakers' offense a lot more stable. And it's obvious.
, as soon as he came up, the Clippers' inside impact was obviously reduced a lot, especially the team's No. 4 position. All-Star Griffin made the biggest change. He directly left the penalty area on the offensive end and chose more
The mid-range shooting solves the problem. Don't tell me, don't underestimate the "white monster" of the Clippers. It was hard to say before. This season, his mid-range shooting has opened up. In the regular season, the distance has reached 3
8%, and can reach over 40% for long-range 2-pointers. In the last round of the playoffs, he shot 40% for mid-range 2-pointers and 42% for long-range 2-pointers. In this quarter, he currently shot 4 from 6.
, also helped the Clippers take the lead.
But Tang Qian is not afraid of Griffin's mid-range at all. He doesn't believe that this guy's mid-range can be as good as those mid-range masters, and he relies on shooting to kill the Lakers. When the latter's shooting percentage drops,
This is the opportunity for the Lakers and themselves.
Sure enough, the good times did not last long. Griffin's shooting percentage dropped and he missed consecutive shots. Tang Qian took the opportunity to attack and scored two goals in a row. Without Jordan guarding the inside, his offensive pressure was greatly reduced.
.Although Jordan is unable to get first defense at this time and space, he still has the strength of first defense this season, but his position is occupied by Tang Qian, a "little butterfly". In this way, the Lakers quickly filled the gap.
Noticing the score difference, the Clippers called a timeout.
But it was useless, because at this time the Lakers' outside basket was also opened. At the end of the half, they regained the lead with a score of 59-49, a 10-point difference. Back in the locker room, the Clippers' Chris
Paul got furious and said, "Cheer up, please? Do you want to stop here?"
But this voice did not have the expected effect. As soon as the third quarter came up, the Lakers were still scoring. They were already leading the Clippers by a full 13 points. Chris Paul was a little angry. As a member of this team,
A leader decided to stand up and use his personal abilities to activate the overall style of the team.
The first thing he has to do is to find opponents to make a fuss about and disrupt the Lakers from the team's system.
Who is the core operator of D'Antoni's system? It's not Tang Qian, but Jeremy Lin, so Paul's decision is still very correct. That's what the so-called "hitting the snake seven inches" means. Besides, it's not that he looks down on Jeremy Lin, or he feels that he
His ability is unmatched by anyone at the No. 1 position in this league.
This kind of confidence is something Chris Paul is born with.
A superstar who combines offense and defense, he is an absolute veteran.
