Chapter 632: Seize the Market
Grizzlies fans watch their team struggle with nothing to gain and feel like their team must have fallen under some evil curse and just want a playoff win, but why is it so hard? How many years have it been, just a victory, why can't they do it?
In the end, the Grizzlies were still weak and were defeated by the Clippers, and the task of hitting the first win of the playoffs can only be expected to come back next year, and this year they have been eliminated from the playoffs.
The next opponent of the twin brothers is likely to be their sworn enemies in the same city, but it is still impossible to say, yesterday the Lakers lost to the Dallas Mavericks on the road, and the two teams played 2:2, so it depends on the outcome of the battle of Tianwang Mountain.
The Clippers swept the Grizzlies 4-0, a result that everyone expected, and the two brothers' numbers have always been dazzling.
Ji Guoqiu has averaged 21 points, 18 rebounds, 10 assists, 5 blocks, 2 steals and 4 turnovers per game in 4 playoff games, shooting 63.6% from the field, 50% from three-point range, and 100% from the free throw line.
Ji Guoyi has contributed 38.5 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 blocks, 2 steals and 3 turnovers per game in 4 playoff games, shooting 62.5% from the field, 62.9% from three-point range, and 95.8% from the free throw line.
In the first four rounds of the 2009-2010 playoffs, the Cleveland Cavaliers, Orlando Magic, and Los Angeles Clippers were the first to advance to the semifinals.
West: Los Angeles Clippers 4-0 Memphis Grizzlies; San Antonio Spurs 1:3 Phoenix Suns; Oklahoma City Thunder 1:3 Houston Rockets; Los Angeles Lakers 2:2 Dallas Mavericks.
East: Cleveland Cavaliers 4:0 Charlotte Bobcats; Orlando Magic 4:0 Toronto Raptors; Atlanta Hawks 2:2 Chicago Bulls; Boston Celtics 2:2 Miami Heat.
Three teams swept in the first round, but three teams also played 2-2, meaning they had to play at least six games to decide the winner. The three swept teams had at least four days of rest.
April 26th. After a fierce race. Two more teams have advanced to the semifinals, the Phoenix Suns and the Houston Rockets.
The Suns eliminated the Spurs, which was a surprise to fans.
The Suns have been eliminated from the playoffs by the Spurs as many as four times since 2003, and they finally took a bad breath today.
The fifth game between the two teams, Steve. Nash injured the corner of his right eye and became "One-Eyed Dragon" in the fourth quarter, but such Nash is still terrifying. He scored 10 points in the fourth quarter and contributed 20 points and 10 assists. Amare. Stoudemire had 29 points and five rebounds. Frye 15 points and 6 rebounds, Jerred Brown. Dudley had 12 points and six rebounds, and O'Neal played 20 minutes and also had 10 points and five rebounds.
Tim. Duncan showed his old age in this year's playoffs, scoring only 15 points and 8 rebounds in Game 5. Parker had 22 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists. Ginobili had 15 points, 9 assists and 6 rebounds, and Jamison had 12 points and 8 rebounds.
Suns win over Spurs. Although it is not a big upset, the result of 4:1 still feels a little unexpected. But the two brothers knew. On the other hand, the Suns swept the Spurs 4-0, a result that was even more difficult for Spurs fans to accept.
This year's Spurs are indeed no longer competitive to win the championship, Duncan is not in good shape, and the Spurs' strength is less than 30%, plus they do not have a trustworthy defensive gate on the outside, unable to cope with the impact of the star-level No. 2 or 3 positions, and most importantly, to paraphrase a slightly old-fashioned movie line: Come out and mix, you always have to pay it back.
In the past seven years, the Spurs and Suns have played each other four times in the playoffs, and no matter whether the Phoenix is at their peak or a little weak, anyway, every time, it is the San Antonio who has the last laugh. Especially in the two playoffs in 2005 and 2007, the Suns were only focused on the championship, but they were ruined by the Spurs. Inadvertently, the two teams have already come to an end, and until this time this year, it is finally the Spurs' turn to pay for history.
Nash, who contributed 20 points in the game, scored 10 points in the fourth quarter, and it is worth mentioning that his right eye was solid in the third quarter. Duncan's elbow sent blood pouring out, and after receiving a simple treatment, Nash was soon back on the court, but his right eye was getting swollen and swollen.
"I can barely see anything in my right eye."
Nash told reporters after the game, but a healthy eye was enough to help him aim for the basket. In the eyes of his teammates and enemies, Nash is still extremely powerful after losing an eye.
O'Neal slapped Nash on the shoulder after the game, almost slapping the Son of the Wind to death, and the fat shark said with a big grin: "Stephen lost an eye, which forced him to focus more on every shot, because he could only aim at the basket with one eye." ”
It's not the first time Nash has been injured in a game against the Spurs, and in the 2007 Western Conference semifinals, Nash hit Tony with the nose. Parker suffered a fractured head and the Suns were eliminated from the series, but this time the result was quite the opposite.
"Obviously I'm sad and crazy about our loss, but at the same time, I'm happy for Nash and Stoudemire," Parker said after the game. Because they've played hard against us in previous years, but they've been unlucky, and this year it's finally their turn to raise their eyebrows. ”
Duncan also said after the game: "Based on past experience, we could have made a difference and controlled this series, but the opponent's table was completely superior to us, it was as simple as that. ”
The Spurs also showed amazing perseverance today, and they almost saw hope of tying the score at the last minute, but unfortunately it fell short.
Nash was excited about the Spurs knockout, saying after the game: "It's a good feeling to beat the Spurs, it's a reward for our hard work, and personally, I have a lot of respect for this team. But the Son of the Wind still plays Tai Chi about his summer stay, but everyone knows what he will do next year. If the Suns have the ability to win a championship, then Nash is likely to stay. But if the Suns can't keep Xiao Si, Nash can't see any hope of winning the championship, so he will naturally choose to leave.
Amare. Stoudemire, who contributed 29 points and is the only Suns player to have played in all of the Spurs playoff games in the past seven years, has a tougher task ahead of them. The Suns' next opponent will be the Houston Rockets, who have eliminated their opponents 4-1, and the Suns are about to face a second team that restrains themselves.
The Houston Rockets and Spurs both have a 3:1 record against the Suns in the regular season, and both teams are the nemesis of the Suns' bombardment style, but this is the record of the regular season, and the playoffs must be played first, otherwise the Spurs will not be eliminated.
After the first round of five games, the east and west shì are as follows:
West: Los Angeles Clippers 4-0 Memphis Grizzlies; San Antonio Spurs 1:4 Phoenix Suns; Oklahoma City Thunder 1:4 Houston Rockets; Los Angeles Lakers 3:2 Dallas Mavericks.
East: Cleveland Cavaliers 4:0 Charlotte Bobcats; Orlando Magic 4:0 Toronto Raptors; Atlanta Hawks 3:2 Chicago Bulls; Boston Celtics 3:2 Miami Heat.
The Clippers are still waiting for the winner of the Lakers and Mavericks at this time, and the Lakers have grabbed the match point at present, but given the uncertainty of the Purple and Gold, coupled with the consistent tenacity of the Cowboys, it is difficult to say whether the two teams will drag on to Game 7.
"To be honest, I want to play the semifinals with the Mavericks, of course, not because I'm afraid of the Lakers, but because we've played against each other too many times, and I don't have anything new anymore, so it's good to play the Mavericks."
Ji Guozhi said this in the face of reporters' interviews, and it is also a consistent underbeating, many Lakers fans have scolded him on Twitter and official forums, but these guys were quickly locked in a small black room for 10,000 years by the powerful fox honey.
On April 29th, just when the Lakers and Mavericks were in the sixth game, Maohu Technology announced that their Maohu tablet had created more than 2.2 million pre-sales in the world, of course, the ratio was still 7:2:1, the cheapest 7-inch version was the main sales force, if you talked about the number of sales of the 11-inch top configuration alone, it was less than 20% of the iPad, which made the two still a little embarrassed.
The first generation of the iPad has sold about 1.2 million units at the end of April, which is about 300,000 less than that of another time and space. However, in the competition of the top version, Apple's products are more favored by consumers, after all, the half of Apple's logo, sometimes it is enough to kill the cat and fox tablet.
The two brothers' products are now in the United States, much like the situation of a certain meter in China in another time and space, and the main audience is still young people, such as college students, wage earners, and so on. Consumers above the middle class still value first-line brands such as Apple, and they are not too interested in the emerging Maohu mobile phones and tablets, especially those who use tablets to work, and the stability of the iOS system is more important than the functionality of the "Maohu system". These need time to accumulate to change this point of view, in fact, the two of them have gone fast enough, it is impossible to be on an equal footing with Apple all at once, otherwise Samsung will cry.
Even so, the cat fox tablet is also the best tablet in addition to Apple's iPad at this stage, and even the total sales volume, the cat fox tablet is now the most sold product on the market, the 7-inch tablet is too cost-effective, so high that Jobs can't sit still, Apple is now urgently discussing internally, whether to come out with a cheap version of the iPad to deal with the impact of cat fox technology.
However, Apple is facing the same problem as the original Fox of the World, they did not prepare a cheap version of the plan, and now they are doing it, it is too late, even if the product is launched in a few months, but what the market will be like at that time, no one can predict.
And manufacturers like Apple, they will never be led by others, so they can only watch this cheap tablet frantically occupy the market and seize users who could have bought an iPad. It is said that after Jobs learned about the sales of the cat and fox tablet at the end of April, he went to the hospital again as soon as possible, I don't know if he was angry?
