"Don, have you been feeling a little weird lately?" Taylor asked before Tang Qian was about to leave for Portland.
"What's wrong? I'm fine. There's nothing wrong with my body. I'm very healthy."
"I'm not talking about this, I'm talking about whether your recent mood is a bit..."
"Mood? What's wrong with my mood? What's wrong with my mood after winning? I feel bad only after losing." Tang Qian didn't know what Taylor was asking, and was a little confused. Taylor looked at
At this point, he said directly: "I used to only watch the Black Mamba's balls, but now I only watch yours. There is a saying that the pass button is broken. Have you heard of this joke?"
"Well, I've heard of it. It was used to bury Kobe. How could I not have heard of it?" Tang Qian was looking for his cell phone. When he just turned over, he seemed to have put his cell phone under the sofa.
"Then do you think this statement is appropriate to apply to you now?" Taylor said suddenly.
"Uh? Me? How is that possible?" Tang Qian said almost subconsciously, but Taylor's immediate words left him speechless.
"In recent months, your average assists per game has only been 1+. Do you know what your average assists were before you returned to China?"
Tang Qian frowned and muttered, "How do I know? I don't count these things."
"It's 3.8 times, close to 4 times." Taylor continued: "You have played 2 games in the playoffs, and you only have one assist in total. I'm afraid this is a bit unreasonable for you." Tang Qian was stunned for a moment and looked at her.
After a while, he suddenly asked: "Who taught you to say this? You can't pay attention to it so clearly."
"No one. It's just me." After speaking, Taylor added: "I think you'd better think about this issue carefully."
Seeing that Taylor ended the topic and went to the room to tidy up, Tang Qian was a little confused. His manly instinct told him that this was definitely someone behind the scenes. Otherwise, it would be impossible. Taylor is paying more attention to basketball now than before.
Yes, but if it comes to this point, he is the first one not to believe it.
Who is it? Assist... Wouldn't it be nice to win? What nonsense.
Taylor made a phone call in the room and said: "Mr. Brown, I have said everything I need to say. I don't know the specific effect." Hearing the voice of thanks coming from the phone, Taylor asked again: "Why did you say that?"
Why don’t you say it yourself?”
A voice on the other end of the phone replied: "Because right now, I am in no position to say this. You know, we haven't lost in months. It would be best if we can continue like this, but our real opponent is not the Blazers."
Sir, I am also prepared. You are his girlfriend, so it would be better for you to say it now. It is easier for him to listen than me."
"Mr. Brown, is it really necessary to do this? The Lakers have been winning." Taylor couldn't help but said. Although she is not that proficient in basketball, she still knows winning and losing, right? The Lakers have been winning.
Win, is it a little bit to say this now...
"It's just because I keep winning that I'm worried. If the overall environment was good last year, this year the situation in the Western Conference is not so optimistic. No matter how strong one person is, it will be difficult to help the team have the last laugh." Larry Brown said:
"Anyway, that's all. I just feel that the way he plays now is different from before. This time he returns to China, the impact seems to be quite big. Okay, don't bother me anymore, old man, I still need to study tactics and strategies.
That's all for now, thank you Taylor, you did me a big favor."
"No, Mr. Brown, you are doing this for the team and for Don's good."
After hanging up, Taylor himself whispered thoughtfully:
This incident had a really great impact on him, maybe even greater than I imagined.
Should I help him soothe him more during this time?
…
The playoffs continued. The Cavaliers won again at the home court of the Pacers, 119-114. James showed off his power. It was indeed James in the playoffs. He was completely different from the regular season. He scored 41 points himself.
A perfect all-around triple-double of +13+12+2+1, with both three-pointers and basic shooting percentage exceeding 50%! Coupled with the contributions of Irving and Love, there is no question of destroying the enemy. Even the Indiana Pacers
Boss Paul George scored 36 points, 15 rebounds, 9 assists and 1 steal, a near-triple-double, but he was unable to withstand the Cleveland Cavaliers. The score was 3-0, and the series was basically sealed.
Now it's just a matter of seeing how long we can survive.
The first team to advance is already about to be announced, the Cleveland Cavaliers, who have booked a spot in the Eastern Conference semifinals in advance.
LeBron James also said that the Cavaliers and himself feel very good this time and will not be afraid of anyone.
This is the playoffs, I want to be the king of the playoffs!
He scored this kind of data and led the team to a 3-0 series lead. There is no problem with him saying this. Everyone will only think that he is powerful and domineering.
The Raptors were overturned by the Bucks again. They were really a pseudo-strong team and lost by nearly 30 points. DeRozan's shots in this game were all made of iron, which is a bit awesome. If he hadn't scored 8 points on free throws,
He will have zero points tonight. Not only him, but the entire Raptors team is playing crazy at the Bucks' home court. The team's shooting percentage is over 30%. This is a win. They are not a strong defensive team.
If the offensive end is like this, it is basically overripe and rotten.
The Bucks' overall shooting percentage exceeded 50%, and their three-point shooting percentage exceeded 50%. For this reason alone, it was natural for them to win.
Antetokounmpo also performed well in this game, shooting 70% from the field. He showed the potential of a future superstar. Although he is only 22 or 23 years old now. Kobe also tweeted, thinking
Antetokounmpo's future potential is unfathomable.
He launched a so-called "Mamba Challenge" for Antetokounmpo, asking Antetokounmpo to win the MVP in the future!
Some people are talking about Aitkobi, saying, what should you do with the tyrant in your family?
Kobe was also very humorous and replied: You can do whatever you want, he still doesn't have an MVP.
Of course, this is an American joke and humor. There is no malice. It is just American ridicule. Tang Qian only replied to a series of pictures of trophies on Twitter, which means that there will definitely be more than one MVP in his future. If you want it, come and grab it.
ah.
The Spurs unexpectedly lost to the Thunder in Game 3. Westbrook finally broke out in this game, leading the team to defeat the Spurs 105-94. He also got a big triple-double. But the Spurs have always had
This kind of "good tradition" of playing a few fierce games and taking a few breaths to sweep things basically doesn't exist for them. It was the same when Duncan was here. It wasn't much.
Popovich just said that Westbrook played well, and then there was nothing more to say.
On April 21st, the Celtics, who had already lost two games, finally found their way on the road. At the United Center in Chicago, they defeated the Chicago Bulls, who were eighth in the Eastern Conference, by nearly 20 points and tied the score.
The score was 1-2. This game was not won by one individual's outburst, but by the overall performance. Six members of the team scored in double figures. They scored more points and beat the Bulls.
This battle also earned "Young Marshal" Brad Stevens a lot of praise.
But in the NBA, you still have to look at the ring in the end, the players have to look at it, the head coach... also has to look at it.
Without a ring, you will never be called a champion coach in your life.
It's so cruel.
No matter how popular you are now, how much you are praised by the media, as long as you can't get the ring, there will be a lot of discordant voices over time. This is a completely different aspect between the NBA and the NCAA.
I hope Brad Stevens is safe.
The Rockets lost to the Utah Jazz 113-115. Even if Harden broke out in this game and scored 44 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists, it had no effect. Paul did not perform well in this game, plus
The combination of the light bulbs made too many mistakes. The two of them made 13 mistakes in total. The Rockets made 19 mistakes in the game, while the opponent only made 10. It is not surprising that they lost.
The key mistake was Harden's. He wanted a whistle, but... the referee ignored it at all, so not only did the ball not reach the free throw line for a free throw, it also let the basketball go directly out of the baseline, and it was considered a backcourt ball for the Jazz.
This mistake gave the Jazz a good opportunity to take the lead with a three-pointer from the outside. In the end, they relied on defense to maintain the score.
On April 22, even though the Grizzlies finally had a wave of success, they were still no match for the Tsunami Brothers. The Warriors scored 131 points, beating the Grizzlies' 120 points without any sense of existence. This really has to be said,
The power of Universe Yong in the playoffs. No wonder so many people are optimistic that Universe Yong will have the last laugh.
The whole process was a struggle, and there was no suspense at all.
At least the Lakers managed to score a buzzer beater.
In comparison, it seems that the Warriors are really better.
The Raptors defeated the Bucks 87-76. This time it seemed to be the other way around. It was the Bucks' turn to go crazy. It wasn't how well the Raptors played, but how poorly the Bucks played.
The field goal percentage was .30% worse. Antetokounmpo made 6 of 19 shots, and the field goal percentage was just over 30%. It would be weird if they didn't lose. Even if they grabbed 50 rebounds, it would be useless if they had 10 more rebounds than their opponent.
The Miami Big Three era has long proven this, even if you are outrebounded by your opponent, you can still win.
You can win with more than 20 rebounds, so it depends on how you play.
Antetokounmpo is still a bit too young and can easily be targeted.
This duel was tied at 2-2.
The Hawks defeated the Wizards 116-98 and finally regained a victory. Howard's game was even more bleak. Behind the seemingly big victory, he basically had nothing to do with him. Among the entire starting five, he had the least playing time and shot
Only 4 times, 2 less than the 6 times in the previous game. In addition, there were only 3 free throws in the game, and only 1 was made. Only 5 points were scored in the game. No Eagles team scored yet.
There are more fractions than Millsap. The blocks are not as good as Millsap, the rebounds are not as good, and the assists are not as good... No wonder Millsap added after the game: I told you, we can win without changing the offensive distribution.
Who did you say this to? Wasn't it Dwight Howard after losing the last game?
Are you not convinced? If you are not convinced, show your ability. After playing like this, you still want to be the first choice and the first star of the team? What are you thinking, Mr. Happy Beast? This is the NBA, not a qualification field. If you are not convinced, please
Show your ability.
Why can't you show your ability? I'm sorry, the little characters and ordinary stars you used to look down on can now boss you around and slap your nose on your face. This league has always been such a cruel place. It is definitely not a kind place.
Millsap scored 29 points, 14 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks in the game, with a shooting percentage of over 60%, so he is qualified to say this. Howard can't refute it. He himself
In the field, he has no sense of presence.
It seems that his life in his hometown may not last long.
From Warcraft to Happy Beast to Wandering Beast...this guy is really one of the historical examples of self-destruction.
How arrogant the past was, how miserable the future will be.
At the same time, the Spurs were defeated by the Thunder again and lost by 2 points. Westbrook finally felt proud this time and said loudly: I don’t think we are worse than anyone else. Well, young man, you will know right away.
Are you close? After hearing these words from Russell Westbrook, Popovich smiled silently in his heart.
The veteran Spurs are never in a hurry and are calm. This is an important part of the Spurs' 20-year team culture.
The Lakers' game also started on this day, the third game of the playoffs, but it has already arrived at the Moda Center in Portland. According to the format, starting from the third game it will be the Blazers' home game. Because it is already a big score.
Trailing 0-2, this game is actually a life and death battle for the Trail Blazers.
If you lose, you will be just like the pedestrians on the opposite side, just lingering and waiting to go home to fish.
The hope of advancement is gone.
Therefore, the home fans of the Trail Blazers were very enthusiastic in this game and hoped that the home team could win.
Walking in, a big sign "Defend the home field" is also very conspicuous. Well, the United States likes to do this anyway, but defending the home field... can you defend it?
In Nick Young's words, when they came this time, they were not prepared to go home and fight them again.
When we go home, we will be our opponents in the Western Conference semifinals, okay?
Trail Blazers? Sweep is the best solution.
ps: The update is here. I didn’t expect the Warriors to be so strong without Durant. If Durant and Cousins recover in the finals, wouldn’t they be five-stars and invincible? The heritage of the championship is indeed true.
Can't ignore it.
He came back from being 15 points behind, which is really impressive.
But Curry lost 4 steals by his younger brother. Is this serious? Or is Curry playing match-fixing, but I don’t have a series of evidence? In the end, Curry with the whistle is really fierce, and his younger brother
It's also very accurate. He is indeed the son of Sagittarius' father. It looks like, well, they should all be biological children. Hehe.
