During the break, the Clippers confirmed the 13-man playoff roster, with Steve Novak left out.

In Yang Rui's previous life, Novak averaged 18.9 minutes per game in the 11-12 season, scoring 8.8 points, 1.9 rebounds and 0.2 assists, shooting 47.8% from the field and 47.2% from three-point range. As a big man with a height of 208CM and a peak of 1.9 rebounds, he can no longer find a softer inside line than him.

Novak has a three-point accuracy and a defense close to air, and has always been a fringe man in the team, and Yang Rui can't reuse him. Eke Diogu defends much better, he has a tough style of play and can shoot in open positions.

On the 17th, the first game of the Clippers playoffs was played in Los Angeles.

The Lakers' game time diverged from the Clippers, and they played a game in Dallas yesterday and lost by 24 points.

After the regular season, statistics show that the Clippers have surpassed the Lakers in home attendance for the first time ever. If the team doesn't win, it certainly has an impact on attendance.

This Trail Blazers team is slightly weaker than Yang Rui's previous offense, the small forward is without Batum, and after trading for Gerald Wallace, the defense has been strengthened, but it cannot break through the Clippers' defense.

Matthews has played well this season, is a 3-and-D player, and he can't play hard against Korver; Aldridge and Griffin blow each other up; Noah, like Jordan Jr., is a blue-collar worker who can let go of the mid-range; Gerrard defended Guy well and couldn't help the team much on the offensive end.

The starting Trail Blazers could only be initiated by veterans Andre Miller and Aldridge, and the bench gap was even greater, and they were beaten miserably.

Roy was playing with mental fortitude, and after the operation, he was reduced to a sixth man with a substitute, and Yang Rui also targeted him, letting Tony Allen take the lead.

Roy played 26 minutes, shooting 1-of-7, 0-of-2 from three-point range and 0-of-1 from the free-throw line, finishing with two points, two rebounds and three assists.

115-80, the Trail Blazers suffered a heavy defeat, and only Aldridge performed well on the team, scoring 26 points and 7 rebounds.

According to media analysis, Roy played very similar to Grant Hill back then, and his injury was also the same reason, with too many changes of direction between the marches and injuries. Now Roy regrets that he didn't recuperate his injuries back then, but it's a pity that there is no regret medicine in this world.

There was no suspense in the next three games, and the Clippers won an average of 28 points per game and swept the promotion.

The Mavericks easily swept the Lakers 4-0.

Kobe Bryant faced the encirclement and suppression of Kidd, Marion, Prince, Stevenson and others, and there was almost no breakthrough in the entire series, and the shooting percentage was even lower. He averaged just 22 points per game while shooting 41.1 percent from the field and 30 percent from three-point range.

Bryant didn't play well in the three games against the Mavericks in the regular season this season, averaging 21.7 points per game and shooting just 40.7 percent from the field, far below his season average of 45.1 percent.

After the game, Kidd joked: "Maybe he just didn't want to fire against us." It's nice to have his shooting percentage down. ”

Actually, Kobe Bryant fired, but it was just not allowed.

Kobe Bryant thinks that the opposite side shoots three points, and we can't show weakness, and then we should be! While! While! How hostile is this! Swish! Swish?

Bryant's performance in the locker room was also subpar, and he barely communicated with his teammates.

If you've watched Derrick Fisher's speech in the locker room, you'll have the illusion that he's the real leader of the Lakers, but this leader can't save the Lakers, or even himself, and it's a no-of-6 shot, a 1-of-7 shot, and a 1-of-8 shot for him to be commonplace.

After the game, all the media decided that the Lakers were not going to work, unless they made another big trade in the summer in exchange for other stars.

The Lakers are not short of chips, known as the two pairs of robots that defend the black hole; The data has declined, from the balance of offense and defense, similar to Pippen, to the current only CBA teammate Luo Er Deng; and Nash, who has the final year left on his contract.

The Clippers got a break, there was an upset in the West, the Warriors eliminated the Spurs 4-2 to advance to the second round, and Jerry's coach ran into it again.

The Warriors' power forward was officially renamed Zach really big name Randolph, and in the face of the Spurs' various singles on the inside, Scola and Duncan couldn't prevent him, let alone Bonner and McDyes.

As a floor flow player, what Scola is most afraid of is to prevent people like Randolph, who are not good at interfering with shooting. The two have some similar styles, both can pull out to shoot, and have low feet.

Lopez mainly plays high blocking, and plays like Yao Ming under the tutelage of Hornacek, not only shooting in the middle, but also practicing three-pointers in the middle to open up space. Duncan was forced to go out to defend the pick-and-roll, and Conley was able to score himself with a reasonable share of the ball, taking advantage of the Spurs' weakness.

The Spurs' starting small forward this season is Batinger, who can shoot three-pointers, but can't defend on the wing, and has returned to the old way back then.

Before draft day, Popovich was ready to trade George Hill and develop it with a rookie small forward, otherwise the Spurs would not be able to get out of the woods.

George Hill is an awkward position, poor organization at point guard, no height at point guard, the advantage is that he can break through and shoot, next year is his contract year, and the Spurs management does not want to renew his contract with a high salary.

Yang Rui had already guessed what Popovich was thinking, and he has recently been pondering how to get management to change the first-round pick and intercept Kawhi Leonard.

As long as this happens, the Spurs will be half of the future and will not be able to compete with the Clippers. But in his previous life, Leonard was the 15th pick, too tall. It's hard for the Clippers to trade ordinary chips for a draft pick at this position, and it's easier to get it after 20, and they can't stop the Spurs from rising.

Yang Rui can only think about these things during the season, his goal is to win the championship, and if all goes well, the end of the season is not far from the draft.

Even if he can't cut off Leonard, he needs a first-round pick, and the 2011 rookie is too high to miss, even if it's 30, with Jimmy Butler's physical potential.

On May 1, the second round of the Western Conference began, and the Warriors were upset away, giving the Clippers a dismount and winning 108-101.

Curry was grossly aberrated in this game, shooting 4-of-15, 2-of-10 from three-point range, and 2-of-2 from the free-throw line, scoring only 12 points and 4 assists.

Yang Rui gave Curry the right to make a move, and he did so, but the result was disappointing.

Mike Conley is a strange man with average stats, but he doesn't suffer a loss when playing all star guards, and this time he defended Curry, increased playing time, and let his teammates deal with Paul, which achieved very good results.

The Clippers' offensive rhythm is also not good, and positional battles are dominant, and the three of Jordan Jr., Griffin, and Masimmi are trapped in joint defense.

Yang Rui had expected this way of losing, and the Clippers would have trouble in the positional battle as soon as they fell, and if the interior line could not be opened, it would be difficult for the periphery to get rid of the defense, which would affect the team's offense.

Yang Rui can't completely use Jordan Jr. and Mashinmi, because Randolph and Lopez can both attack in the low post. The Warriors are very strong, and they didn't play well in the regular season because Lopez missed 25 games due to injury.

Next, Yang Rui adjusted the lineup, reused Dunleavy, Korver, and Neil, reduced Tony Allen's playing time, resolutely fought with the Warriors to attack, and increased shots outside the three-point line, one big and four small.

The weakness of the Warriors is the wing, Jason Richardson was traded to the Suns, swingmen Dorel Wright and Reggie Williams are not strong, and their main function is to shoot three-pointers and defend averagely.

Yang Rui sent players with better shots to pull away, big men covered the side to help the guards get rid of catch-and-shoot shots, and in response to the shortcomings of Lopez and Randolph's slow movement, Paul organized in the middle.

As soon as the outside line is opened, the inside air cut can also create opportunities, Griffin blocked Lopez by one, Jordan Jr. also had four wonderful dunks, and the Clippers players began to sweep the best five again.

The Clippers won two games in a row to regain home-court advantage.
