"The Thunder staged the most garbage playoffs, losing 61 points once in a century!"

The Thunder thought that the second home court could be won, at least not to be swept by the Clippers, but the cruel facts turned out that the Thunder were just fools' dreams, and they were abused by the Clippers on their home court by 61 points (138:77).

In the history of the NBA playoffs, the most disparity occurred on March 20, 1956, when the Minneapolis Lakers defeated the St. Louis Hawks 133-75 (58 points), and the Oklahoma City Thunder, which was established just over a year ago, unceremoniously surpassed their predecessors today and became the new holder of the most shameful record in playoff history, and the Hawks must have secretly thanked the Thunder's eight ancestors.

The four games with the largest margin in playoff history, in addition to the Lakers vs Hornets and Lakers vs Hawks, which are tied for second, ranked third and fourth are 19-excellent-excellent-small-say-more-new-most-fast-www.uuxs.cc-73 Lakers 126-70 Warriors (56 points) and 19 Errorless Novels www.71 Bucks beat Warriors 136-86 (50 points).

Not to mention, the Lakers were originally in the top three in this list, and the name of the Zijin aristocracy was obtained by such great moments as Tongguò, and people have the qualifications to be called nobles. Therefore, if the Clippers want to surpass the Lakers, the first thing is to replace these great records with their own names one by one, so that in the future, this noble title will naturally be transferred to their heads.

The Thunder were completely beaten into a sieve, and the difference in strength between the two teams should not have produced such a huge disparity in scores, and no matter how bad the Thunder were, they also squeezed into the top eight in the West. And the Thunder have only missed six times at home this season. They are very competitive at home. The Thunder will be so defeated today. The main reason is that their point guard Westbrook was completely contained by the opponent (Westbrook had 6 points, 3 assists and 9 turnovers today. played what can be called the most smelly game in the individual), the Clippers adopted a hybrid joint defense strategy of Billups as the main defense, wing Afflalo and Ji Guoyi at any time, while Garcia stuck to Durant like a jersey, cutting off the Thunder's second scoring point; And if Westbrook tries to block and dismantle with Green and Artest, he will fall right in the center of the joint defense and will inevitably lead to a lot of mistakes.

The Clippers used the Lakers' approach to Paul yesterday to bully the young Westbrook, and the results were even more significant. Before. Paul suffered a great humiliation under such a defense of the Lakers, and Westbrook, who was far inferior to Paul at this time, naturally could not escape the disaster.

"The Clippers meat grinder pulled out the Thunder soft egg, this person also deserves to be an All-Star?"

There's no doubt that Durant is the Thunder's number one star, and the Thunder have been complaining that their core hasn't made it to the All-Star Game this season. But let's look at the number he has made in four playoff games, hitting 26 of 96 shots, averaging 27.1 percent shooting per game, and just 6 of 25 three-pointers. Even more pitiful 24 percent three-point shooting.

Averaging 16 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 5 turnovers per game, this is Kevin. Durant's average per game is jù. Coupled with his shooting hits, it is obvious that with such a core, how can the Thunder not set a record of shame?

However, Durant also had his anger, and after being eliminated, he angrily accused Garcia and Barnes of being extremely dirty on his defense, "I really admire those players with a tough style of play, but those dirty styles of play make me very angry. Ever since I joined the league, I knew it was going to be tough, but I would never appreciate their dirty style, I would never admire. Durant's anger is understandable, Garcia and Barnes have demonstrated their value in the playoffs, these two are not clean at all, and the regular season is better, but as soon as the playoffs come, these two eighteen martial arts begin to take turns to greet Durant, and the poor little schoolbag can't be relieved for a second in the game, because the Clippers' defense against him is Uncle Gar and Barnes in turn.

Barnes laughed after the game; "I'm not the kind of player to be a nuisance, I just put Kevin under pressure with aggressive defensive moments. Maybe people don't like that kind of unscrupulous style of play, and they certainly don't like it when the physical confrontation is fierce, but he needs to understand that Kobe, James, and even our two interior cores, they have to face other teams in the game. This made Durant uncomfortable, and Barnes clearly laughed at him for not being able to afford to lose.

In addition to Garcia and Barnes, the Clippers' Dunday. Jones, Jeffries, and even "Red Fox" Ji Guoyi, they are all fierce players on defense, and their fierce style of play does make it difficult for the Thunder and other young players to adapt. In the playoffs, tough defense and dirty defense can't be separated, everyone faces the same defense, so only the real stars can stand out in the playoffs.

What is the Playoffs? The playoffs are all about getting the sand out of it. Although Durant is not sand, he is still too tender now, and in Ji Guosha's words, it must be ravaged hard to help him grow quickly.

'I know how they feel, but we're not going to attack people maliciously, we're just trying to play. I'm not going to let them go to the basket if the situation allows, but we don't use moves outside the rules. Ji Guoyan didn't mock him, maybe he was in a good mood after winning, and the little fox became easy to get along with as soon as he was in a good mood.

After the Clippers slaughtered the Thunder, they became the first team in the league to advance to the second round, and the only team to sweep their opponents to advance.

Not much attention has been paid to the bull-horse battle later, and the Mavericks have returned to their home court to pick up form, and Nowitzki has led the team to blossom more, but the overall difference in strength has left them at the expense of the Spurs.

Terry won the title of the best sixth man, he had enough motivation to help the team win, the best sixth man in this game cut 28 points, but although the Spurs Big Four were missing Ginobili, the demon knife had a slight ankle injury and did not play, but the other three giants were stronger, Parker scored the highest score for the Spurs with 42 points, Duncan's 25 points were still terrible, and Jamison, who became Duncan's reliable partner. The Spurs beat the Dallas Mavericks by a big score on the road. Grabbed the match point of the series.

The score is 110:85. The Mavericks lost by 25 points, and although the game was not much followed by the Clippers by 61 points, the Dallas media must find a culprit for this home defeat, that is, the bearer.

Maverick's Jason. John Terry had 28 points and four rebounds, Kidd had five points, seven rebounds and seven assists, Nowitzki had 15 points and 13 rebounds, and Dampier had 10 points and six rebounds. Howard had 12 points and Barria had nine points and four assists.

The Spurs' Parker had 42 points and he also had five rebounds, four steals and four assists, Duncan had 25 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists and Jamison had 20 points and 10 rebounds.

The two home defeats swept away the joy of the Mavericks regaining home-court advantage last week, and the 25-point margin was shocking, and it was hard to imagine that this was a battle between the Mavericks with a full roster and the Spurs without Ginobili. With the Dallas people generally optimistic that they could pull one back, the Mavericks have once again disappointed.

On paper, the Mavericks' biggest failure today was that they couldn't prevent Parker, allowing the latter to score 42 points. But in reality, the Mavericks' problem is offense. Parker to the Mavericks. It's a point that can't be restricted, and the Dallas people have never relied on defense to eat. But when you can't defend Parker, and you only score 85 points, you can't lose the game.

Are the Mavericks short of scorers? This sentence is simply ridiculous and generous, Nowitzki, Howard, and Terry are all first-class attackers in the league.

Is the Mavericks lacking a good organizer? Jason. Kidd, the superstar point guard with the third-most assists in league history, has once again been put on the cusp.

Is Kidd really old? In these four games against the Spurs, Kidd only had six or seven assists per game and rarely hit a double-double. Scoring is also always in the lower double digits, a far cry from his career average. It is said in German. The Harris trade for Kidd is a sign of the Mavericks' decline, is it really Kidd who has scourged the Mavericks?

Let's take a look at the number first, Kidd scored 5 points in this game, and the table of 1 in 8 shots is also an indescribable result for Kidd, who has never been good at individual offense. However, the offense is not good, which is Kidd's flaw, but in terms of efficiency value on the most physical field, Kidd is the lowest on the team at -24. That said, the Mavericks lost by 24 points while Kidd was on the floor, which coincided with the final point difference. Could it be that Kidd is really to blame for the loss in this game? Not really.

The Los Angeles media had the leisure to comment on other teams in the joy of their own team's double wins, and the Los Angeles Times believes that Kidd's specialty lies in his control of the rhythm and his ability to grasp the momentary opportunity. That means he'll need more and more aggressive off-ball movement from his teammates, finding lethal passes between crowds, and Kidd's ability to pass quickly is top-notch. But the Mavericks only know how to use his decision-making power in the fast break, and look at how lazy the other Mavericks players are without the ball in today's game, all standing in place and reaching out for the ball, or waiting for him to force a breakthrough.

Breaking through the point of view is actually the easiest point guard technique, if it was Kidd 5 years ago, of course, it would not be a problem, but the Mavericks made the mistake of comparing the 36-year-old with the 26-year-old Harris. The Mavericks' current system and overall personnel composition need a point guard who breaks through and sharp, which can also explain why the little-known Barria has been able to quickly become popular recently. But that's not to say they don't have the ability to play more flexible positional offense, and if they can play more off-ball play, cover, switchback and pick-and-roll, it's not too late to evaluate Kidd's wins and losses.

Suffice it to say, Kidd couldn't do anything with his empty hand, but he was forced to play in the way he was best at the moment. In the third quarter of the game, Mavericks bench forward Bass had a good air cut, and Kidd showed off his skills, passing the ball to three defenders, but Buss was stunned and almost missed the opportunity to wipe the basket.

What the Mavericks lacked was this mobility in positional warfare, and the fact that Kidd came to Dallas, both the Mavericks and himself became victims of the trade. But whether Kidd has plagued the Mavericks, or whether Dallas' system has kept the league's best point guard of the past 10 years out of the game, needs to be explained.

On April 27, in the West, the Lakers 3:1 Hornets, the Rockets 3:1 Trail Blazers, the Clippers 4:0 Thunder, and the Spurs 3:1 Mavericks. In the East, the Cleveland Cavaliers 2:2 Chicago Bulls, Boston Celtics 2:2 New York Knicks, Orlando Magic 3:1 Philadelphia 76ers, Atlanta Hawks 2:2 Miami Heat.

The Clippers are already in the second round, but they may not have to wait too long because the Rockets also have a match point, and their opponent is basically the Houston Rockets, and the next game will be a Chinese derby. (To be continued......) R1071
