Chapter 748: Chinese + Germans

The Los Angeles Times reported that just after the Clippers won Game 6 of the semifinals and successfully brought Game 7 back to Staples, Dallas fans began chanting "BEAT-LA" and seemed to have begun to anticipate the Clippers in the finals.

Mavericks guard Jason. Terry tweeted last week that he would like to face the San Antonio Spurs instead of the Clippers in the finals, as the Mavericks will have home-court advantage. But in the Clippers' win over the Spurs the day before yesterday, that hope was dashed. Although the Mavericks' wishful thinking fell through, Terry still said that no matter who the opponent is, the Mavericks will definitely strive for a series victory.

According to the news found, the Mavericks only did some light training every day during the week they waited for their opponents in the Western Conference Finals, and the physical condition of the veterans such as Yao Ming, Kidd, and Nowitzki remained good, and there were no annoying injuries in the team, let alone non-combat attrition.

"I want to congratulate Yao Ming, he spent another season safely, I thought his career would not be 30 years old, who knew that he maintained a 60+ attendance rate in these two seasons, which is a bit unscientific." When Ji Guoyi was asked how to deal with Yao Ming before the game, he said the above words that made the little giant think of the dog.

Many domestic fans think that the dead fox is too much, and you can't joke like this, you TM won't live to be 30 years old.

Yao Ming's attendance rate has been really high in the past two seasons, he played almost 70 games last year, played a full 72 games in the regular season this year, and has been fully attendant so far in the playoffs.

The Little Giants have been productive for eight seasons in a row, which has made him more and more famous in history, and the length of a player's prime is the key to whether he can be inducted into the Hall of Fame, and if he can reach All-Star caliber for ten consecutive seasons, then the player's chances of entering the Hall of Fame are much greater.

Mavericks fans feel at the moment that the decision to sign Yao Ming was too wise. They predicted that Yao Ming would only play half of the regular season before the season, and the attendance in the playoffs would depend on luck, and now the result is far beyond their expectations, and the salary of 11 million will get an All-Star insider, which is really a good deal.

Chinese fans are equally happy that Yao Ming's high attendance rate is directly related to Carlisle's rotation. Due to the reliable Polish Hammers in the team, Yao Ming does not need to play more than 30 minutes in every game, this season's regular season, the little giants only played an average of 28.1 minutes per game, and can contribute 16.3 points, 8.0 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.5 blocks, and the efficiency value is very high.

Yao Ming himself said before the game: "The Clippers have helped us a lot in Game 7 because the team has more rest time and every player can be fitter. ”

Mavericks head coach Carlisle also said: "During this break, the Mavericks' form has not cooled down. The team is ready for a grueling seven-game series against the Clippers. ”

On the Clippers side, Dunleavy Sr. said: "You have to believe that you can reach this height (four in a row), and you have to trust your teammates and coaches on the court, and in the series against the Mavericks in the Western Conference Finals, the Clippers can't afford to make this kind of inconsistent play again, we can't hope for a 0-3 deficit every time and we can come back from a 0-3 down, we won't complete two of these reversals in our careers."

This is the first time Ji has played the Mavericks in the playoffs, and the Spurs and Clippers have played against them too many times, giving the impression that the Spurs have been beaten by the Clippers. The Mavericks and Clippers have faced off a lot less. And what is more surprising is that the Mavericks have had a very good record against the Clippers in recent years. The cowboys are not completely left behind.

ESPN counted the number of times the Clippers and Mavericks played each other after the Animal Brothers joined, and the two teams played each other a total of 12 times in four seasons, and the Clippers went 7-5, which was just a small victory.

Nowitzki, the star of the Mavericks, averaged 25 points and 8 rebounds per game in 12 games against the Clippers in the past four years, which is basically the same as his average per game in recent years.

There is another, more interesting data. Yao Ming also played 12 games against the Clippers in his four seasons with the Rockets and Mavericks, and the latter also had a 7-5 record. However, Yao Ming averaged 24 points and 10 rebounds per game in these 12 games, and his performance exceeded his average per game.

What do these two phenomena indicate?

At least it shows that Nowitzki and Yao Ming are not inferior in the direct confrontation with the animal brothers, and the little giant will perform better than usual when facing the animal brothers. That's not good news for the Clippers, who could be restrained by the Mavericks' lineup.

On May 15, the first contest of the Western Conference Finals continued in Los Angeles.

Before the game, many media found a very interesting thing, this season is the 11th time that the Clippers have reached the playoffs, and before the Animal Brothers came to the Clippers, the Clippers had only played a total of 7 playoffs, and they are a typical team that has become a fish belly all year round.

The Mavericks are the opposite, the Texas Cowboys may not make the playoffs as many times as the Clippers have made the playoffs, this is the first time the two teams have met in the playoffs, the Warriors' Black Eight Miracle made the Mavericks debilitated, and then with the birth of garbage contracts such as Dampier that the Mavericks were unable to strengthen the team, the Cowboys began to decline, and they were stuck in the Texas Civil War between the Rockets and the Spurs for a long time and could not get out.

This year, Cuban hijacked Yao Ming from the Texas rival Rockets, and only then did he break out of Texas and return to the Western Conference Finals.

The Clippers have risen to prominence during the Mavericks' three years of silence, transforming from a belly team to a dynasty team, and have won three championships. This battle between the old and new teams is interesting, and the battle of Yao Ming, Nowitzki, Ji Guoyi, and Polish Hammers has also excited many fans.

Yahoo Sports expressed its concern about the interior line in the United States at this time, and look at what superstar interior lines have been produced in the United States over the years? Everyone counts and counts, and it seems that only Howard, a monster with rough skills, is barely one, but this superstar center who is the sole leader is often guarded by some blue-collar insiders, such embarrassment is almost impossible to happen to the animal brothers and Nowitzki, Yao Ming and others, the only way to deal with these people is to blow each other up, but Howard can be guarded by the blue-collar inside, which makes them not embarrassed to tout the American lone seedling inside.

Auden the Great has now been completely confirmed to be scrapped, but the American media and fans always take the "Great" every once in a while to lament it. The meaning is nothing more than "If Auden had not been injured, then the animal war of the new era would have become a three-legged stand." ”

This game is a duel between the stars of the league's international insiders, but unlike the animal brothers in previous seasons, the fox brother has become a lone party, although he is followed by an old-fashioned big shark, but many people are not optimistic that the fat O'Neill can resist the lean Yao Ming.

The Los Angeles Times also made a point of criticizing O'Neal's approach to training before the game. Yao Ming's weight is now maintained at 300 pounds, but O'Neal is playing with a weight of 340 pounds, and his fat body is so obvious that there can be no other excuse than not training seriously.

The big shark's body fat percentage was so high that he weighed a staggering 350 pounds before the start of the season, but the so-called weight loss was only 10 pounds, and the fat was enough to affect his movement and confrontation.

Reach. After asking relevant experts, Bundan learned that although O'Neill now only plays about 20 minutes per game. But the pressure on his legs is greater than that of Yao Ming, who plays more than 30 minutes per game, which is why he often can't play even 20 minutes.

Looking at Yao Ming on the other hand, the little giant obviously maintained his physical condition very well, his weight of 300 pounds was about 20 pounds lower than in previous seasons, but it made him more flexible, his strength did not drop much, and even his physical strength was better.

This can be seen from Yao Ming's average playoff minutes increased to 32 minutes per game, and the little giants' statistics in the playoffs have improved comprehensively compared to the regular season. He averaged 18.2 points, 8.8 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.8 blocks per game. In other words, if Yao Ming's physical strength is not spared, let him play about 36 minutes in a game. Then Yao Ming is still a player who averages 20+10 per game.

Recently, the big shark has been besieged by a bunch of current and retired stars, and this fat man's popularity is not much better than Kobe, when he first entered the NBA, this fat man was more eyeless than Peter Pan, and he was always clamoring in the media.

Robinson's 71 points were scored by teammates and opponents in order to ensure he surpassed O'Neal, and the two were ranked first and second in scoring that year. But no one wanted O'Neal to get the accolade, which led to Robinson's magical night of 71 points.

Those peerless geniuses in the history of the NBA, many of them were very unpopular when they first debuted, and a low-key historical superstar like James is actually very good, but there are still so many people who hate it.

Bill. Walton publicly criticized O'Neal for his frequent injury withdrawals with the Heat. He had a very poor relationship with Pat Riley, moved to the Suns and focused on internal strife, went to the Cavaliers and the Clippers and became a car salesman (O'Neal gave away luxury cars on James and the fox brother's birthday), and finally directly mocked: "Shaq is a hypocrite, and his arrogance is an insult to people with brains." ”

Of course, Kobe Bryant will not let go of the opportunity to step on his opponent at this time, and quickly criticized O'Neal in front of the media: "He is not professional at all, greedy, selfish, he is too lazy, often out of shape and accumulates a lot of fat, he is not a qualified leader at all." At the heart of the team, you should know every day that you should train well as a leader and you can't mess around all day, but he was used to being lazy ten years ago and he never practiced free throws. ”

James also secretly said: "Shaq training never arrives early. The implication is that you are always late, and just because you are low-key doesn't mean you won't fall into the trap.

Barkley laughed at O'Neal: "I've never heard that free throws are bad practice, and if it weren't for Kobe, he wouldn't have gotten a championship ring at all, and no one of them could laugh at the other hugging his thigh." Then the big ass said: "O'Neal partnered with Penny Hardaway during the Magic period, Kobe Bryant in the Lakers, Wade in the Heat, Nash in the Suns, James in the Cavaliers, and the Foxes in the Clippers." And very implicitly, 'Speaking of helpers, you know'. ”

After the game began, Ji Guoyi was not in a hurry to attack, and today the Mavericks used zone defense to deal with the Clippers' current scoring champion.

Ji Guoyi also knows that in the face of the Mavericks, they do not have an advantage in the lineup, so if they want to win the game, they need their teammates to play, Ray Allen and Billups must score high points, so he rarely shoots, but the Dead Fox contributed 3 assists in the first quarter.

Although Nowitzki and Terry are both efficient and terrible in the playoffs this year, with a three-point shooting rate of more than 45%, the little giant seems to have been efficient and terrible, so no one dares to wrap Yao Ming too much in the Mavericks.

At the end of the first quarter, the score was 26:28, and the scores of the two teams were not exaggerated, but Yao Ming still made the Clippers feel hurt on 4 of 6 shots.

O'Neill has tried his best, but with his current state, he really can't keep up with Yao Ming's rhythm, and his weight of 340 pounds does not give him an advantage in the confrontation, but rather becomes a drag.

Ji Guosha still rarely shot in the second quarter, but Terry began to break out, Ray Allen and Iguodala have defended many times in place, but the jets can shoot the basketball, this year's Terry is really unreasonable, more unreasonable than Crawford of the Clippers in previous years, like Ginobili in 05.

The Mavericks kept widening the gap, and Ji had to strengthen his offense, but Nowitzki also began to perform the Golden Rooster Independence. Thunder. Allen turned on stealth again today, and the fox brother 1v2 said that he was unable to do it, and the Clippers trailed by six points at 50:56 at halftime.

Ji Guoyi scored 16 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocks in the first half, Billups had 8 points and 3 assists, Iguodala had 6 points, Hill had 6 points, Dragic had 5 points, O'Neal had 4 points, Ray Allen had 3 points, and Maddy had 2 points.

Yao Ming had 14 points and five rebounds in the first half, Nowitzki had 12 points and four rebounds, Terry had 12 points, Gortat had six points, Kidd had six points, and Marion had six points.

The Clippers missed seven consecutive shots at the start of the third quarter, and the Mavericks stretched the score again, until there were 7 minutes and 30 seconds left in the quarter, when Ji Guosha hit a shot. The Mavericks continued to launch an onslaught, and with three minutes left in the third quarter, Yao Ming hit a hook shot to give the Mavericks a 16-point lead at 74:58.

Ji Guoyi was finally enraged, completely gave up the assist, and began a crazy attack.

In the last three minutes of the third quarter, the fox hit three three-pointers in succession, and a forced break to cause a foul, two free throws and two hits, and the Clippers played a wave of 11:4 to chase the difference to only 8 points before the end of the quarter.

The Foxes scored 15 points in the third quarter, and in the fourth quarter he continued to strengthen his individual offense, and the Clippers closed the score gap several times. But every time the margin was close to five points, the Mavericks' three scorers would always hit key shots to interrupt the Clippers' momentum.

With 6:05 left in the final quarter, Ji Guoyi hit two consecutive difficult step-back shots, and the Clippers trailed by five points at 94:99.

It was the smallest margin between the two teams after the first quarter, but Kidd followed up with a three-pointer and the Mavericks scored back-to-back games on the offensive end.

Nowitzki's golden rooster independence makes Ji Guoyi's ultra-long arm span can only look at the ball and sigh, he has not been able to completely defeat this German, because the opponent still has this trick that cannot be defended, as long as Nowitzki's own shot is accurate, Ji Guoyi has no choice but to affect his crosshair as much as possible.

But the psychological quality of the Germans is really hard compared to that, no matter how Ji Guoyan uses trash talk and iron elbows to influence Nowitzki, the latter does not fight back with elbows, scolds and does not return the mouth, but only responds with his accurate shots again and again.

The Mavericks' two inside lines are this kind of stuffy jar, Yao Ming can be witty before and after the game, but when he arrives on the court, he doesn't say a word of nonsense. The Mavericks are a damn German Nazi, a bastard Chinese Red Army, Ji Guoyan feels that these two guys are much more difficult to deal with than Garnett, who can't stop talking all over the game, and it is different to be able to single-handedly challenge the nations of the world.

Ji Guoyi scored another 12 points in the fourth quarter, but Yao Ming and Nowitzki combined to contribute 15 points, plus Terry's convulsions, the Clippers still trailed by 10 points 1 minute and 30 seconds before the end, and the game was over.

The final score was 105:113, Ji Guoyi scored 43 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 blocks, but in the end, he couldn't stop the strong firepower of the cowboys, and he lost the first game in the Western Conference finals again! (To be continued.) )
