Chapter 729 [Playoffs Family Kidnapping Incident]
The Spurs returned to their home court, and in the third game, the "GDP combination" led for three quarters, and the Clippers strengthened their defense in the final quarter, and the Spurs did not score a point in 4 minutes, and the Clippers played an 11-0 attack wave to overtake the score.
The Spurs are still an old problem, they can't shoot in the bottom corner of the outside line, and they can't break the joint defense.
With one less Danny Green, everything is different. Green can only be a substitute in the Clippers, and if he joins the Spurs, he will be the best choice to start this playoffs.
Gary Neale is a fringe man for the Clippers, the No. 1 pick, and will be an important rotation for the Spurs.
Chandler faced Duncan, who had consumed a lot of physical strength in the last quarter, and the stone Buddha did not score a point.
Chandler is 216cm tall and weighs 110 kilograms, entered the NBA in 2001, and now has played eleven seasons, his physical fitness has barely declined, and he can still be perfectly qualified for interior work. Maintaining weight is Chandler's secret, and he has always been around 110kg, which gives him excellent flexibility to resist the inside and not be easily passed by the outside players.
With a shooting rate of only 45%, Duncan, who can't attract the bag, is not a superstar without solutions. On the defensive end, Duncan relied on his old arms and legs to defend the block and dismantle, and the first three saved energy to keep up, but the last quarter was not good.
Duncan only averaged 30 minutes per game in the regular season, beyond which his efficiency would decrease, and even if Duncan's efficiency decreased, it was better than the Spurs' other interior players.
The Spurs' defensive weakness is Scola with 14 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists, looking at the data is not bad, in fact, as long as he is there, the Clippers offense will be launched from his side, and there is no pressure to play small-ball tactics.
Scola doesn't move fast, the offense mainly relies on blocking and dismantling and shooting, attacking under the basket, his feet are too wasteful of time, and the ball is not fast enough, even if he shakes off the No. 4 position, it will attract Chandler's help defense.
Parker didn't lose against Paul, and even had a slight advantage, which was a surprise for the Spurs, but Ginobili was blocked by Tony Allen in the final quarter, and no one could provide him with firepower.
At 103-98, the Clippers led 3-0 in the overall score.
The Spurs fell behind 18-38 in the first quarter in the fourth game at home.
Yang Rui sent Paul and Curry to play double guards, and Curry convulsed, shooting 6 of 9 in the first quarter, 4 of 6 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws, scoring 18 points and 2 assists.
In the second quarter, Yang Rui sent Paul, Gary Neal, Danny Green, Parsons, and Farid to defeat the Spurs 15-4, and the difference widened to 31 points after 6 minutes.
Green and Neil hit three-pointers in a row, and they should have been important players for the Spurs, giving the Spurs a fatal blow.
Because Green was in excellent shape, Yang Rui simply didn't let Paul play in the second half, Curry, Green, and Korver formed the outside line, and the inside line was Griffin and Chandler.
This lineup can not only attack, but also not bad defense, and the guards will shoot three-pointers when they have the opportunity and fight for rebounds inside.
Spurs players can only bet on three points in the second half to win, but they lack pitchers, and the defense of Upper Buddinger and Bonner will deteriorate. This Spurs was weaker than Yang Rui in the same period in his previous life, and he was swept away without much resistance.
126-89, the Clippers won away and advanced to the Western Conference Finals first.
Popovich roared at his players to play a little dirtier during the game, and at one point in the second half, Griffin and Bonner almost got into a fight.
After the game, Popovich did not admit in an interview that he had said anything to make the players play dirty, even though he had a loud voice that many viewers heard.
Yang Rui also did not express dissatisfaction with the fierce confrontations in the game, this is the playoffs, it is enough that the players are not injured, and the Clippers defense also has a lot of small moves and big moves.
Paul is the point guard with the most small moves on the active roster, but his foul rate ranks outside the top 20, which is also strange.
Another series in the West broke out a big upset, and after four games, the Thunder actually led the generally favored Lakers 3-1.
The Thunder had a home-court advantage, and as soon as they came up, they went down two cities in a row to take the lead.
In the first game, the Lakers lost by 20 points, and Byron Scott reused the combination of Love and Pau Gasol and didn't let Gerald Wallace play much, and the result was a terrible pick-and-roll.
On the offensive end, the Lakers had a bigger problem, with Gasol scoring 10 points and 7 rebounds on 5-of-11 shooting, with a plus/minus of minus 29, and Kobe Bryant scoring 20 points on 7-of-18 shooting, with a plus/minus of minus 27.
In the second game, the Lakers' offense continued to be lacklustre, losing 75-77 to the Thunder.
This time, Gasol was 6 of 11 and 2 of 2 free throws, scoring 14 points, 11 rebounds and 3 assists; Love shot 8-of-19, 2-of-5 from three-point range and 2-of-2 from the free-throw line to finish with 20 points and 12 rebounds.
Only three Lakers scored in double figures, Kobe Bryant shot 9-of-25, 0-of-6 three-pointers, and 2-of-2 free throws to finish with 20 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists.
The Thunder also only had three people score in double figures, all of whom were blacksmiths except Durant, who shot 9-of-15, 1-of-4 three-pointers, and 3-of-4 free throws, and finished with 22 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists.
Bryant was key to the Thunder's victory, with a passing error, a mid-range shot, and a three-point shot in the final minute of the final quarter...... The Thunder seized the opportunity and reversed the score.
After this game, some Chinese fans said that the Lakers "F7" means "FUCK7".
In the second game, all the Lakers' bench players made a total of 10 shots, and the crazy Jeremy Lin played 24 minutes in the regular season, shooting 1 of 3, scoring only 2 points, 3 rebounds, and no assists.
The other two starters, Rohr Deng made 7 shots and Nash took 5 shots, and they also followed the switchback on the court.
Back at home, the Lakers pulled back a game and beat the Thunder 99-96.
Bryant played a magical stat, shooting 9-of-25, 0-of-1 from three-point range, and 18-of-18 from the free-throw line, finishing with 36 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists.
As soon as many people saw that the referee was a big bald head, they felt that someone was going to make trouble in this game, and sure enough, the Lakers made 42-28 free throws, and 12 free throws in the last 3 minutes, killing the Thunder in one go.
It was the first time in Kobe's playoff career that he had made more than 18 free throws to shoot 100 percent from the free-throw line, and it also broke the franchise record set by Lakers predecessor Gail Goodrich in 1972.
The Lakers won this game very thrillingly, and the role players also blossomed more, with Love, Gasol, Nash, Rohr Deng, and Gerrard scoring double-doubles.
In the fourth game of the Lakers' home court, the Thunder changed their style of play, defended Kobe Bryant alone, guarded against others, and resolutely limited the Lakers' three-point shots, winning 103-102 in the final game and achieving match points.
In this game, Bryant once again independently took on the responsibility of the main offense, and the ball passed through his hands almost every round, shooting 12 of 28, 0 of 2 three-pointers, and 14 of 17 free throws, scoring 38 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists.
Nash finished with 14 points and six assists on 4-of-8 three-pointers, and hit a 3-pointer with 4:33 left in the fourth quarter to give the Lakers an eight-point lead.
Then it was Kobe Bryant's show moment, shooting 1-of-7 in a row and 2-of-2 free throws to score 4 points, and this was all the Lakers' scoring for the rest of the game, and the Thunder reversed again.
This magical performance, many hardcore Komi couldn't stand it anymore, and directly transferred to the Kehei camp.
Kobe Bryant reached out for the ball as soon as the last few minutes passed halftime, and the point guard did not give it to him and used a "death glare", and then he relied on excellent technical dribbling to find opportunities, so that the other F6 completely became spectators, and continued to play iron when the score was leading, even in the face of the bag.
Barkley commented: "He probably wants to add a playoff record of 40+ to himself. ”
If Kobe Bryant really thinks so, then this person is really terrible. If not, when the score is leading and his teammates have a strong ability to score, why doesn't he pass it in the face of the bag?
Don't...... Was his child kidnapped by Thunder's men?
