Chapter 1098 Once again, I'm on guard for a while~
The first defeat had a great negative impact on the Lakers. First of all, the Los Angeles Times in the same city no longer fully sided with the Lakers this time, because the Clippers are also a Los Angeles team, and there are still many people here.
Clippers fans. Furthermore, after winning this game, the new owner of the Clippers was named Steve Ballmer. This man acquired the Los Angeles Clippers at a triple premium after the "Sterling Incident".
The team. And he is now the richest one among the many owners in the NBA.
Well, yes, none of them.
He is worth more than $30 billion.
So today he specially bought a page in the Los Angeles Times for the Clippers, just to dampen the momentum of the Lakers.
As a successful person like him, he must have a winning mentality. To give a simple example, Ballmer once said in an interview with "Business Insider" that in the past few years, we have been
After kicking the Lakers' butt, he said that this was something that satisfied him. So if you say that he doesn't care about the Clippers at all, that's impossible.
At least, he feels that the Buss family, whose wealth ranks at the bottom among NBA owners, is not worth mentioning.
Of course, this is a look down on wealth, not in the NBA. If he wants to play in the league, he needs to spend more dollars and energy. Just throwing money, facts have proved that it is impossible to do it well.
An NBA team. As wealthy as he is, and one of the top five NBA owners in terms of wealth, Prokhorov of the Nets, spends money heavily but doesn’t care much about the specific management of the team. You
Look, the Nets have paid a lot of luxury taxes in recent years and have a strong star stack, but what about their record? A piece of shit.
Therefore, in order to prevent the Clippers from going the same way as the Nets, Steve Ballmer increased investment in the Clippers from the very beginning, including all aspects. He also bought a page in the Los Angeles Times after this win.
Cheer for the Clippers.
After losing the first game, who among the Lakers and Clippers can be the king of Angel City this season? - Los Angeles Times.
The Clippers are on the rise! The Lakers may be out halfway through this season! - Los Angeles Times.
The future will be the Clippers era! - Los Angeles Times.
Regarding this, the Lakers are helpless. Their financial resources are really poor. It is impossible for them to compete with the super rich just because of a victory in the playoffs. However, the Lakers also have their own mouthpiece, that is, the Lakers
The country, this media still chose to speak from the perspective of the Lakers. They analyzed the reasons for the defeat in the last game and believed that the Lakers urgently need to solve the problem of the No. 1 position. But it is useless to raise this issue because there is no solution.
The reason is that Jeremy Lin only has so much ability, and now the Lakers have no one who can help him or replace him.
If it were someone else, the disaster would be even worse.
If Jeremy Lin doesn't play the "seven seconds or less system", then this season's running-in is in vain. But suddenly the whole team is required to play an unfamiliar style of play that has not been practiced much all season.
It would be strange if he didn't fight worse.
Therefore, this place has no solution.
It can only help Jeremy Lin play more relaxedly and with more autonomy.
What should I do? D'Antoni has come up with a way, which is to play more high pick-and-rolls to reduce the number of one-on-one situations between Jeremy Lin and Chris Paul. The method is possible, but the specific results still depend on the effect.
.
Of course, ESPN was celebrating the Clippers' win. Several well-known "Lake Black" experts said:
It has long been known that the Lakers are not a strong team in the playoffs, and now someone has finally come to tear off this veil.
The Lakers are a pseudo-strong team, and their style of play is easily restrained.
In terms of the last game, I think No. 29 and Clippers No. 6 are evenly matched.
The data of 19 points, 17 rebounds, 4 blocks and 1 assist are very good, but Jordan also has 12 points, 11 rebounds and 5 blocks. And his shooting percentage is much higher than the former, right? Jordan is more efficient.
.
This kind of comparison post also caused a storm of complaints on the Internet:
DeAndre Jordan is a player who "eats the cake". Can he be the same as someone like Tong who scores points by himself? I bet that if he were to play like this, his shooting percentage would drop by more than 20%.
You are being modest. I bet at least 30%, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it dropped by half.
There are such stupid reports, and you don’t even look at it. How many of Jordan’s 12 points were scored with Tong on the court at the same time? I don’t know if I can tell you that it was only 2 points, and they were all free throws~ He
In front of the perm, I think the 20% hit rate of active attack is as high as the sky~ I think it’s right, give me a thumbs up~
To be honest, ESPN experts, first of all, I think there is a big difference between 19 points, 17 rebounds, 4 blocks, 1 assist and 12 points, 11 rebounds, 5 blocks. Then, Jordan's defense is very strong this season.
, I think it’s normal that his shooting percentage will drop when he is hit hard. Jordan just takes up the time when he is not focusing on offense, otherwise the shooting percentage cannot be seen.
This explains why ESPN's subscription numbers have been declining in recent years.
ESPN's annual subscribers dropped from 95 million to 92 million last year, and I dare say I also contributed.
Let me list a very scary thing for you. Ever since Dongfang Hot landed in the NBA, ESPN’s subscription numbers have shown a downward trend every year. No year has been spared.
Wow~ I feel like I have discovered something amazing~
No wonder ESPN is so targeted at Oriental perms. It turns out that they discovered the influence of this "mysterious power from the East"~
Will ESPN get so angry at the end that they hire a hitman to kill him? Do you think it's possible?
Brother, haven't you heard the most widely circulated saying in sports circles? Everything is possible.
But if you lose, you lose. Tang Qian and the Lakers have conducted intensive training in the past few days. They hope to defeat their opponents in the second home game two days later and ensure that they win at least one home game.
On May 5, the NBA officially released the list of the 2014-15 All-NBA First Team. The selected players include LeBron James of the Cleveland Cavaliers, James Harden of the Houston Rockets,
Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors, Tang Qian of the Los Angeles Lakers, Anthony Davis of the New Orleans Pelicans, and Chris Bosh of the Los Angeles Lakers.
Bosh was selected with the same vote as Anthony Davis this time, so he was selected in a tie.
At this moment, Bosh was happy, because he really didn't expect that he could still get this honor.
Although people on the Internet are scolding him for getting this honor because of the Lakers' high record, but if he is selected, he is selected, and there is nothing you can do if you don't like it. Anyway, Bosh himself posted two tweets in a row,
Celebrate this. After all, this is the first time in his life, so of course it deserves a good celebration.
The main reason given by major experts for his selection is that he developed an extremely accurate three-point play style in the 4th position.
Are you talking about Nowitzki? No, no, no, King Nowitzki can shoot three-pointers, but he has made very few shots in his career, averaging 3+ shots per game, and only 2+ in the playoffs. Like Bosh.
There has been almost 6 three-point shot attempts, which has never happened before, not even 5. In addition, Bosh's shooting percentage is also very high. He has indeed played an indispensable role in the overall offense of the Lakers this season.
The strategic role of substitution.
Tang Qian was also a little surprised, but he immediately asked Zhou Zhiru to send a tweet to express his concern as the team boss.
In addition to Bosh, Tang Qian also won the honor of the All-NBA First Team. This is also the second time in his career that he has won the honor of the All-NBA First Team. It is also the second season that he has won the first team + first defense +
The honor of DPOY. If he was a little guilty of winning the first team last season and was ridiculed as a "blue-collar first team" by the outside world, then this season, there is no such worry at all. Because his average points per game have increased so much.
This honor is well deserved.
Regardless of whether it’s the reason for the current decline of centers in the league, if you get it, you get it.
This at least means that he is the strongest C position in the league during this period of time.
The integration of offense and defense has basically been put on the agenda.
As for the regular season MVP award that attracts the most attention, it will take several days to be announced, and the suspense remains.
Within 2 days, several other conference semifinals were also going on at the same time. The Eastern Hawks actually lost to the Washington Wizards 98-104 in the first game? This surprised many people. Could it be that the Wizards had completed the game?
After the Raptors defeated the first place in the Eastern Conference regular season, are they going to defeat the first place in the Eastern Conference? Another game in the Eastern Conference was equally unexpected. The Cavaliers also lost. They lost to the Chicago Bulls. Rose first
After scoring 37 points in one game, James felt a bit cold and only scored 19 points. Although he grabbed 15 rebounds, it was still useless. The Bulls still won the total rebounds, and Gasol also performed vigorously.
, scored 28 points, 15 rebounds, 8 assists and 4 blocks. It can be said that the limelight completely overshadowed the former core of the Bulls. Joakim Noah. Noah made 0 of 4 shots in this game.
, made 0 of 2 free throws, so he scored zero points directly. Although he also got 10 rebounds and 4 assists, compared with the Spanish Tower above, he lacked a sense of presence. From the feeling, he did not seem to be very
satisfy.
James has always had a low shooting percentage against the Bulls coached by Thibodeau. The best example of this is that his shooting percentage was less than 4 in the original space-time series. When he encountered a tough inside lineup, his efficiency was definitely greatly reduced.
Therefore, in these two games in the Eastern Conference, the bottom team defeated the top team successfully.
The Western Warriors easily defeated the Grizzlies. The team scored 13 of 28 three-pointers, with a shooting percentage of over 46%. The Grizzlies were stunned by the shots. What about their three-pointers? The shooting percentage was 25%.
Only 3 were thrown in. In this case, it is difficult for you not to lose. And they also lost rebounds.
Therefore, looking at it this way, in the four games of the conference semifinals, except for the Warriors, who were still stable, the other three teams were defeated, which also improved the Warriors' specialness to a certain extent.
But Cole doesn't care about this, because he didn't come to the NBA just for a few rounds.
He came, as the saying goes, to win the championship and conquer.
Whether you believe it or not, it doesn't matter to him, he just needs to prove himself with the championship numbers.
On May 6, U.S. time, the Lakers played against the Los Angeles Clippers at home, and the second game of the series began.
The current series score is 0-1, with the Los Angeles Lakers trailing and the Los Angeles Clippers leading.

By the way, the ESPN subscription decline data listed above are all true, and they are indeed consistent with the time Tang Qian joined the NBA. Xiaozi has verified the data, and there is no problem at all. And this data is still from 2015, what about now?
The number of subscribers has dropped to just over 70 million. What was their number before Tang Qian joined the NBA? 100 million+. So, hey, this trap can finally be released. After all, it is not purely crooked, and the reality is the same.
