Sports competition is a war without gunpowder, and the reason why war is cruel is only because it reveals the fact that the king wins and loses.

The Black Mamba fell at the feet of the Thunder Youth Army.

Four to one.

Neat.

When Westbrooks roars at the Energy Arena, when Kevin Durant pounds his chest, his time has come...... Bryant walked to the tunnel with his head bowed and his lip clenched in the blossoming away game.

And half an hour later, he must appear in front of the media as a representative of the Lakers' defeat to summarize and admit the loss of the season.

For someone who is so proud to say 'second place is the number one loser,' it would be an unacceptable shame to lose in the Western Conference semifinals for two years in a row.

If it was swept by the Mavericks last season, it can be said that... Dallasians are more prepared. So now... Do I want to admit like the Bostonians that I'm old, and that the main stage of the NBA has been handed over to these stinking hairy boys?

"No, we'll make a comeback next season. The Lakers are a team with a long history, and we've had a lot of setbacks, but none of that can stop us from succeeding. ”

Kobe Bryant said very seriously and stubbornly at the press conference.

But in reality, not everyone believed his swear.

After all, he's essentially just a top 7 star in the league.

And with the arrival of the new season, this ranking will continue to slide, maybe 13, or 17, in short, it will be difficult to enter the top 10 in the league.

After all, he is about to be 34 years old.

Snoopy watched his interview on TV and soon received a text message from him. The Black Mamba, who claimed to be making a comeback on TV, had a different stance in the text message.

"Hey, puppy. Are you sure you don't want to come to the West? There's the toughest competition here!! ”

The rigorous Black Mamba even used emojis.

Very suspicious of maliciously selling cuteness.

However, the puppy's reply was very official: I was doing well in Chicago.

Then, he went to the room with Miley for a meeting.

After the meeting, Ms. Sellers said she hoped to hold an enlarged meeting in the near future, and that she was now a general, and had taken on the role of a big housekeeper in the backyard.

What else can the little duke say?

Can I be absent?

As the main body of the meeting, it must not.

……

After six games, the Miami Heat finally knocked out the Indiana Pacers.

Indiana's series proved one thing again: the Miami Heat were afraid of teams with strong offensive rebounds, and at the same time looked very uncomfortable with opponents' back-to-back singles in the restricted area.

It's no secret that the Pacers have the second-highest rebounding frontcourt in the East: which seriously reduces the quick counter-attacks launched by the Miami Two-Headed Monsters.

Meanwhile, the Pacers are one of the league's favorite teams to play inside back-to-back offense, with Hibbert at 218cm, Wester at 206cm, Hansbrough and Amundsen at 206cm. On the other hand, the Heat only have Bosh at 211, Haslem at 203 cm, and Joel Anthony at 206 cm.

In addition, the Pacers are a team that can shoot from top to bottom — Hill, Collisson, Granger, George don't mention, West, Hibbert, Hansbru all have accurate 15- to 18-foot shots.

So, that's why the whole series is tug-of-war pulling. After all, the Pacers have a height advantage, interior depth, young sharpness, frontcourt rebounds, and the 'Pacers basketball' they are proud of.

The so-called Pacers basketball is the soul of the team. If you look at the history of the Pacers, you will find that in the seven years from 1994 to 2000, although they only had Reggie Miller as a star, they still reached the Eastern Conference Finals five times.

Trust, hand-to-hand combat, defense, strong against the weak, three-point shot. That's why the Miller era of the Pacers were able to fight off the likes of Ewing, Sharks, Jordan, Iverson, and now, they're head-on with the Miami Big Three.

Although in the end they lost the game.

But needless to say, they have earned the respect of all. People will always remember Paul George's angry and humiliating rant after Dwyane's supernatural three-pointer that he failed to defend in Game 2.

One will also remember that in the third game, Hans Brook blocked the LeBron James tank impact with his flesh and blood, fell to the ground and couldn't speak for even half a minute, and then sat on the bench for less than five minutes before resuming the game.

Of course, Danny Granger's stunner in the fourth game was equally awe-inspiring.

There's also West's usual cunning toughness, Hiberdu's obscuring defense, and even though he was taken out of basketball by LeBron James in Game 6 and became a key point in the series' demise, no one can deny his contribution to the series.

"You've played great, and if you can get a few more whistles, you'll have a chance to stand on the stage with Miami in a tie-break."

Stephen Curry angrily relieved Paul George in the group: "This is simply favoritism." ”

George looked extremely frustrated, saying that he must practice his ball-handling ability and three-point ability this summer, and must not be so tired on the offensive end again.

Snoopy gave him some encouragement and invited him to train with him in the summer.

At this time, Westbrook jumped out, Snoopy, you must avenge Paul! I'm still waiting to beat you in the finals.

The little duke sent a smiling expression over.

If it was really the Finals vs. Thunder, his teeth would have to laugh out. Because, Spurs are just too sophisticated. The Bulls have some headaches for this kind of experienced team, and a young and energetic team like the Thunder is better to deal with.

……

When Snoopy watched the Heat vs. Pacers game, he didn't think that the referees decided the outcome of the game like Stephen Curry did, and the referees had a little factor, but they weren't enough to affect the outcome of the game.

What really makes the difference between victory and defeat are LeBron, James and Dwyane Wade, two of the two offensive weapons that may be the strongest in the league today.

Their combination this year has been so strong that no matter which one of them gets a chance to defend and counter-attack, the other can be exactly where he should be. That's what the Pacers died on: they used up all their energy, but the team still lost to the superstar.

What's more, it's obvious to the naked eye: Dwyanwade has regained his strongest killer spirit, and his hunger for a title this season is far greater than last year's, and he can't wait any longer. LeBron James is also stronger than last season, his summer training has made him more comfortable on the court, and at the age of 27, he is officially entering the peak of his career!

"Miami is a pure superstar domination model, as long as they find the 'momentum', they will ignore the defense, kill the gods, and be invincible in the world!" Speaking in the dressing room before the game, Snoopy emphasized: "So, we had to drag them into the defensive swamp and use their height, confrontation, tenacity and selfless switching to bring them down! ”

"In a sense, they're bulls. And what we have to do is: trap them in the fire, and burn them all in the run! ”

The little duke's expression was solemn.

He knows better than anyone how strong the Miamins are determined to get revenge and how much Miami has grown from last year.

But in terms of overall strength, the Bulls may be superior. But in terms of individual attacking ability, Snoopy is slightly inferior to Wade James. Now it's like this: the upgraded Pacers vs. the Miami Heat.

The Bulls' winning chance is about fifty percent, but they are afraid that the Heat will find momentum, and once their giant planet is opened, the Bulls will be very passive. In a sense, the probability of playing seven games in this series is about the same as playing four. If it is played in four games, the Heat have a better chance of winning. And dragged into seven, the Bulls have a higher chance of winning.

But what annoys Snoopy the most now is the article that has been widely circulated on the Internet.

How does he know I'm more accurate when I'm defending stronger?

If Jordan's rule were really applied to me, would my shot be sure to kill Miami?
