Chapter 567 [Easy to Move, the Sky is Dark]
The regular season data king is out.
Iverson of the 76ers averaged 33 points per game to become the scoring leader, the fourth time in his career, and he also had 3.2 rebounds, 7.4 rebounds and 1.9 steals, gorgeous statistics made him have a large number of fans, but the 76ers management began to consider trading him out of the team, and the team basically lost the games in which he scored high points.
After Larry Brown, the 76ers have changed four head coaches, all of whom have not been able to lead the team out of the quagmire. With the exception of second-year rookie forward Rohr Deng and blue-collar center Durham Porter, the others barely defended and couldn't make the playoffs no matter how many points they scored.
Yao Ming won the rebounding title with his efforts in the last game, averaging 12.8 per game, 0.1 more than Garnett.
In the second half, Yang Rui increased Yao Ming's playing time, and two teammates helped card people, and his backcourt rebounds soared. No one said that Yao Ming brushed rebounds, because he only played an average of 35 minutes per game, and Garnett's Timberwolves were often beaten in the third quarter, entering garbage time, averaging 39 minutes per game.
Nash of the Suns is the top assist leader, averaging 11.1 per game. Unfortunately, this season's MVP selection has nothing to do with him.
The block king is the Nuggets' Marcus Camby, who averages 3.3 per game.
Yang Rui also asked Yao Ming to brush the block, try to jump up and block, and block the opponent from entering the penalty area, which he did, and finally averaged 2.5 per game. In terms of blocking, Yao Ming is not inferior to black players, but the interior line of all teams will avoid him, pull out to block and dismantle, let the guard break him, and strive to make him foul, his lateral movement is not fast enough, and it is much more difficult to cover the guard than to cover the inside.
Camby is different, although he is 211CM tall and weighs only 100 kg, he is very thin and looks like a bully.
The steal king is Bobcats forward Gerald Wallace, who averages 2.5 times per game, and the forward becoming the steal king also surprised many people, he also averaged 15.2 points, 7.5 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game.
Gerrard's outbreak, many people think that it is also the performance of Yang Rui's vision, as early as the Wizards, Yang Rui was optimistic about Gerrard, the playoffs gave him a lot of opportunities to perform, and predicted that he would become a star one day.
On the 20th, the Lakers confirmed the 13-man roster for the playoffs, and rookie point guard Louis Williams was ruled out.
Luis is too young now, and he can't compare with Damon Jones and Mo Williams in all aspects, plus Ellis can also play a cameo point guard, and there is no place for him on the team at all.
During the season, Luis was sent out of the Development League, but he achieved good statistics and improved.
On the 22nd, the playoffs began.
In the Los Angeles derby, the Clippers staged a tragedy, they did not have a home court in the first round!
The home court, it's not that it's good to change the floor logo, now Los Angeles is almost all Lakers fans, after all, it's not after 2012, the gap between the two teams' records is too big, and the star of the Clippers is just a Carman with a hairstyle like a madman, how to attract fans?
Many people say that Clippers owner Donald Sterling is stingy, but in fact, he is not stingy, but the first thing he thinks about is making money.
Without a superstar on the team, Sterling is reluctant to spend money to build a team, and he can't win a championship if he loses money anyway, so it's better to make a little money.
Later, the team selected the top power forward Blake Griffin, Sterling changed his thinking, with this box office guarantee, the trade came to Paul, the team won the title of "empty city", ratings, attendance and sales of peripheral products have increased significantly, and there are more sponsors, making more money than the previous method of selling players. In the end, the Clippers sold 2 billion.
To put it bluntly, Sterling is not a basketball owner, but he is a successful businessman who knows how to make money with the team.
The first game against the Lakers made everyone see the gap between the two sides, whether it was the starter or the bench, the Lakers had the advantage in all positions.
Carman averaged 16.7 points, 11 rebounds, 2 assists and 2.8 blocks per game, and the statistics were beautiful. He didn't make the All-Star Game, and some believe he's better qualified than Rasheed Wallace.
As a result, as soon as the two were opposed, Carman showed his original form, scoring only 8 points and 7 rebounds in the first game.
Kaman's offense is basically concentrated under the basket, and the active scramble has won him a lot of opportunities for secondary offense, and the hook shot on the inside can only be said to be average, and the mid-range jumper has a certain accuracy, which accounts for a very low proportion and cannot be called a trick.
This style is doomed to make him unable to become a first-class star, the perimeter shooting can't get rid of Rashid's interference, let alone under the basket, Yao Ming has to pass the ball as soon as he shrinks, and his partner Kwame Brown still lacks offensive ability, no shooting, and can only pick up leaks in the restricted area.
On the defensive end, Carman is even more tragic, although he is diligent in defense, but the lateral movement is relatively slow, whether it is Yao Ming or Rashid, it is easy to be played by defenders when it comes to blocking.
The two-tower defense outside three-point did very poorly, and the point difference quickly widened to double digits, and Clippers coach Dunleavy reluctantly replaced Kurt Thomas, replaced Kwamei, changed the joint defense to man-marking, strengthened the defense of blocking and dismantling, and the interior line was empty again.
Kobe Bryant first found a block to get rid of Mobley, and it was an opportunity to attract Carman to switch defenses and pass to Yao Ming. If Thomas is the main defense against Yao Ming, Yao Ming directly asks for the ball in the low position and the single is an opportunity, and his height and weight are all advantageous.
The Clippers must help defend Kobe Bryant on the inside and change gears. "Old Cat" Mobley is only 193CM tall, and it is not good to interfere with Kobe's shooting if he is a little slower in pursuit, and Kobe's pull-up jump shot made many teams helpless in the regular season.
The Lakers' Big Three finished the third quarter and combined to score 72 points, more than the entire Clippers team.
In the final quarter of the bench battle, Odom, Ellis, and Dio continued to widen the difference, beating the Clippers by 54 points 133-79 in the first game.
After the next three games, the Lakers also played with ease, practicing tactics, and the star never played in the fourth quarter, winning the Clippers by more than 30 points per game, and swept 4-0 to advance.
In the fourth game, Yao Ming played tricks, broke through the dunk with a fake move in the middle of the road, turned around and dunked at the bottom line, and also scored 3 three-pointers, played Carman several times, and cut a triple-double of 23 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists.
Even so, when the media commented on the "drug combination", they all thought that they did not exert their strength, because the two played less than 30 minutes per game. The Lakers can beat the Clippers with only the role player's fast break and off-ball coverage on both sides, and the interior play.
The media also analyzed that it will be easy for the Lakers to advance in the next round of the series, because they are waiting for work at ease and the schedule is too favorable.
The two strong teams of the Mavericks and the Suns got together and played in the dark.
The Suns have strengthened in the middle of the game, signing power forward Tim Thomas, who was cut by the SuperSonics, to add interior depth. Thomas is famously a bad contract in the league, but his penchant for floating outside shooting is a perfect fit for the Suns.
After a 2-2 draw, the Mavericks won the "Battle of Kings Mountain" at home, after which the Suns equalized at home and entered a tiebreaker.
In the tie-break, Nowitzki beat O'Neal Jr. one-on-one, scoring 36 points, 12 rebounds and 2 assists.
Alston also came out of his way, scoring 25 points and 10 assists, and unexpectedly overwhelmed Nash in the key game.
"The King of Streetball" had an occasional jerry, hitting five three-pointers and breaking through small throws, and under Nash's defense, he was perfect for breaking through and catching the ball.
Nash had 16 points and 11 assists in the game, playing normally and unable to lead the team to win.
The Mavericks won 123-104 at home to advance to the second round with a 4-3 aggregate score.
After the game, Mavericks owner Cuban said in an interview: "I'm in a much better mood now, and the Mavericks are a strong team without Nash."
As a result, he was ridiculed by Suns fans on the Internet: "When you are slaughtered by the Lakers, see if you are still in a good mood." ”
Everyone is not optimistic that the Mavericks will advance to the Western Conference Finals, and the Lakers have a week off.
