The Lakers finally swept the Rockets and directly allowed the Rockets to score less than 60 points, only 58 points.
58. This is a magical word. I guess Paul thought so too.
The Lakers scored 108 points in the entire game and annihilated their opponents with 50 points. This also created the largest score difference record this season. It surpassed the 48 points scored by the Warriors a few days ago. Tang Qian scored 25 points and 13 points in the entire game.
4 rebounds and 4 blocks. This is the worst data since the series with the Rockets. But if you look at the playing time, you will know that it is excusable. He only played for less than 21 minutes in total. To be able to get this
The data is simply an explosion of efficiency. You can't even get it in a game, okay! This data is actually the average data per game of Howard at his peak back then.
However, the best player in the game belongs to Gasol. Gasol was extremely impressive in this game. He actually posted a score of 18+10+6+2 in the second half. Although his scoring and rebounding were not as good as Tang Qian's, he still won by 6 points.
assists. It’s not surprising that it was given to Gasol.
In addition to Gasol, Nick Young also scored 11 points, Butler 13 points, Pierce 6 points, Deron Williams 6 points + 6 assists, which was also an unexpected surprise. Especially in the second half, he seized the opportunity
He and Gasol connected the team inside and outside, and did so very successfully. This is also a key factor why the Lakers still beat the Rockets in a fog even though all their main players were gone in the second half.
Deron seems to have a chance to recover. Well, he has found his old confidence in Paul again.
It was really too late for Paul to cry.
On the opposite side, it was extremely miserable. The three-pointers throughout the game were made of titanium alloy. Except for Paul and Harden who scored in double digits... In fact, even Harden and Paul only scored 10+ points. It can be seen that this game is a
What the hell. I only missed 5 out of 45 three-pointers in the game. My shooting percentage was a terrible 11%. I missed 40 three-pointers alone!
This is really rare in history! It is also the game with the most missed three-pointers in a single game in the playoffs since statistics are available in history.
After this game, the entire Internet mountain once again stirred up a discussion.
A pitching team, a three-point team, can't win a championship!
Barkley is a strong supporter of this statement.
After all, in this time and space, the Warriors have not yet won a championship, and Barkley is not afraid of being slapped in the face.
At this time, No. 23 of the Cavaliers also took a deep breath at home, then lowered his head to the Golden State Warriors on TV and murmured: "Universe Yong, you have to work hard. Don't let me down."
"
The Warriors’ official website also quickly released the title, Welcome to the top of the Western Conference, l.a!
Tang Qian’s performance in the four games of this series is as follows:
g1--40 points, 23 rebounds and 7 blocks.
g2--75 points, 29 rebounds and 11 blocks.
g3--59 points, 30 rebounds and 8 blocks.
g4--25 points, 13 rebounds and 4 blocks.
Averaged 49.8 points per game in the series! 23.8 rebounds! 7.5 blocks!!!
This performance is a huge improvement over the previous round, and the average of 49.8 points per game is the highest score in a series since 1984! It even almost broke the 50 points per game average in the series!!! Everyone
Everyone on the Internet said that if the Rockets had been a little better in this game, Tang Qian's scoring would have definitely exceeded 50 points per game!!! What a pity.
After this round of series sweep, the thrilling process between the Lakers and Rockets was completely ignored, as if they were truly invincible. Tang Qian was also praised to the sky because of this kind of data performance! Regardless of t.n.t
, Sports Illustrated, Los Angeles-based media, Fox Sports, and ESPN can only sing praises, and there is absolutely no room for slander.
It’s terrible. I averaged 49.8 points per game in the series! 23.8 rebounds! 7.5 blocks, and led the team to complete the sweep. What else do you want to say about this performance? Apart from saying strong, awesome,
Damn it, what else can I say?
The Celtics and Wizards fought to the end, and the two teams entered the tiebreaker. John Wall, the core boss of the G6 Wizards, hit a winning three-pointer in the last 4 seconds. Helping the team directly from 89
Trailing by 2 points, he instantly killed the Green Army and reversed the result of the game. This series was dragged into a tiebreaker.
In fact, his shooting percentage in the whole game was really not good, only 36%, but the last three-pointer saved everything.
In a sense, the NBA is a league that depends on the results, so Wall's kill is equivalent to turning a bear into a hero.
On May 15th, US time, the two sides played a tiebreaker at the home court of the Green Army. This was also the conference semifinals. The only game that reached the seventh game. In this game, even the Wizards’ Bradley Beal cut
After scoring 38 points, there was no way to save the team, because the team boss Wall continued to transform into a little blacksmith, shooting 8 of 23, with a shooting percentage of 34.8%, and even 1 of 8 three-pointers, with a poor shooting percentage of 12.5.
%. The whole game was 18 points, so the Wizards lost the tiebreaker. Unfortunately, they stopped in the Eastern Conference semifinals.
In this way, all the places for the Eastern and Western Regional Finals for both sides have been determined.
The four teams are the Eastern Conference Finals, Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Boston Celtics, Western Conference Finals, Los Angeles Lakers vs. Golden State Warriors. If you look at the polls before the start of the conference finals, you will find...more than 8
0.0% of people think that they should watch the Western Conference Finals. On the other hand, only 20% of people are willing to watch the Eastern Conference Finals. However, this is only a small survey of 5,000 people, and it does not represent all, but it is still somewhat representative.
.That is, American fans are far more interested in the Western Conference Finals than the Eastern Conference Finals.
This is normal. Everyone knew the answer before the Eastern Conference finals started. The Cavaliers must have won. The Green Army has overfulfilled its task by reaching this point. But if they want to defeat the Cavaliers, they still think too much.
A little more. The Cavaliers swept the previous two series and advanced. It only took eight games. In addition, they are extremely good at playing superstar ball. No matter how you look at it, the Green Army's chances of winning are too small.
Therefore, everyone's expectations for the Eastern Conference Finals are naturally not high.
There is nothing interesting about the massacre. Except for Cleveland's own fans, everyone else may think it is just ordinary.
In addition, the Green Army does not have any particularly big-name superstars. Thomas Jr. has performed well this season, but his time of fame is still too short, so the number of fans he has accumulated is not particularly large. Even some fans don't know it at all.
Who is the current team boss of the Green Army?
The West is much more interesting. There was a war of words between the two sides from the beginning. Because they are both in California and very close to each other, there is basically no problem of physical exertion. Therefore, from the official website to the fans, both sides are directly talking to each other.
Squirt, sarcastically.
The United States is not a country where there are not so many polite things. It is common for opposing teams to fight each other. This is basketball. If you try the Super Bowl of football, the fans will be extremely crazy.
The Warriors are simply saying, we are going to win, and we have been preparing for it all year, just for now.
So now anyone in front of us will die!
We are Universe Braves, we are the strongest team this season, bar none!
The Lakers were not polite and retorted directly:
Just as we defeated you last year, we will do the same this year. We are the defending champions!
If we want to pass through the west, we are the devils guarding the border.
It's a pity that since the George Mike era, our Lakers' goal for the season has only been to win the championship. In terms of background, you are really terrible!
Lakers fans call the Warriors the nouveau riche, and Warriors fans call the Lakers the dead aristocracy. Anyway, it's chaos.
There is a very interesting thing about a family in California, a family of four. The father and sister are Lakers fans, and the mother and brother are Warriors fans... Then during the Western Conference Finals, the four people decided not to be with each other for the time being.
"Speak. This matter was once the epitome of many families in California. Do you support the Los Angeles Lakers or the Golden State Warriors? This question is difficult to explain clearly. California is so big, except for Los Angeles and Oakland.
Except for one city that has no other choice, other cities may like any team.
On May 17th, US time, the Eastern Conference finals started first. The Cavaliers unsurprisingly defeated the Boston Celtics, who had home court advantage, 117-104. Among them, the Big Three scored 90 points! They directly accounted for more than 76% of the scoring ratio.
Among them, LeBron James is still the best performer. With 38 points, 9 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 steals, coupled with a shooting rate of nearly 60%, he directly defeated the opponent. As soon as James arrived in the playoffs
In the game, he really started to change. The more he played, the better his statistics were. This kind of near-perfect statistics was not uncommon in his playoff career. There were several times this year. In addition, Love also scored.
32 points, Irving 20 points, a total of 90 points, defeating the opponent.
The Green Army now knows that the bigger the stage, the more superstars are the territory, and the more superstars are needed, so they lost easily.
This is not something Brad Stevens can change with just a few tactics. This is superstar crushing. Even if the Cavaliers have a poor defensive team this year and are at the bottom of the league, they still prevent the Green Army from catching up and winning.
A good start at home. The Cavaliers' strategy tonight also surprised the Green Army. They actually did not focus on three-pointers. You must know that the Cavaliers are among the top three-point shooting teams in the league this season. One star, four shots, 3
Distribution is also a large part of the offense. But tonight, under the command of James, the Cavaliers directly began to attack the inside like crazy, destroying the basket, and the Cavaliers made 40 free throws. On the opposite side, the green jersey
As for the Army, it was only 18 times. It was so much less, close to 20 points.
How to fight this?
Thomas was obviously suppressed by his opponents in the playoffs. He could have scored 28.9 points in the regular season! He was considered a quasi-super scorer, but his data in the playoffs was an overall decline. His shooting percentage dropped.
The average points per game has also dropped significantly, and it has dropped drastically. There are only 23+ points left. A drop of nearly 6 points!
What is the concept of averaging 6 points per game? It just dropped by a level, which is why the Celtics played so hard in the playoffs.
After all, the regular season is the regular season and the playoffs are the playoffs.
Essentially different.
However, the ratings of this game are not good, because the result is not surprising. James, Cavaliers, Big Three, Eastern Conference Finals, this has been a key word in the past few years. It doesn’t matter who the opponent is. Even if you are a novice
Fans don't think the Cavaliers are afraid of anyone in the Eastern Conference. As Cavaliers fans, I'm afraid they are more concerned about the progress of the Western Conference.
Because the finals are the real test for the Cavaliers.
Eastern Conference competition? We have Zhan Badong in it, what else do we have to be afraid of? It’s stable.
The Western Conference playoffs are held in Los Angeles, the city of Angels. So what if the Warriors have 73 wins this season? Shouldn’t they be below the Lakers’ 74 wins? This is really the most frustrating 73 wins in history. It actually has the home court advantage.
Can't get it.
But Warriors head coach Cole expressed optimism because he believes that the Warriors' lineup and combat effectiveness are stronger than the Lakers, so this is not something that can be offset by a home court advantage.
Outside predictions are that the Warriors will advance 4-1 or 4-2.
Look at the Warriors' lineup. It's really luxurious. Point guard Stephen Curry, shooting guard Klay Thompson, small forward Kevin Durant, power forward Zaza Pachulia, and center Drummond.
De Green. Except for Pachulia, the other four are all star players in their prime! This is really... a bit like a dream. I thought they were playing on some all-star team.
.
The four-star warrior is really glorious.
The Lakers' lineup is Tang Qian + Randle + Ariza + Butler + Rondo. It is still the classic starting five this season, and there are not many changes. The opponent also had the same lineup in the first game
The change is not big. It seems that the idea is the same as that of the Lakers. It is just a trial first before making subsequent operations.
The referee threw the ball and the two men jumped up. Tang Qian helped the Lakers get the first opportunity to attack.
