712. Sweep to advance plus double one again

History is written by the winners, and last year the Lakers didn't have a chance to break the all-time playoff win percentage record, and this year the Lakers are coming back.

“four-four-four……”

Lakers fans have begun chanting the phrase that Moses Malone once famous, and which Lakers fans chanted in the 2001 playoffs, and this year it is starting to be chanted again.

Sometimes a team that is seen as invincible will become a supporting role in everything around it, no matter how strong those supporting roles are.

For example, the performance of the Lakers in the 2001 playoffs, swept the Trail Blazers in the first round, aren't the Trail Blazers strong? They tied seven with the Lakers in the Western Conference finals the previous year, and once led the Lakers by 15 points in Game 7, and the Lakers relied on Kobe Bryant and O'Neal to score crazy points in the final quarter to complete the reversal.

Playing the Kings in the second round, isn't the Kings strong? They played a tie-break with the Lakers in the 2002 Western Conference Finals the following year, and even the Lakers could have stopped winning two consecutive championships without a home whistle in the sixth game.

The regular season champion of that year, the only team in the league with a better regular season record than the Lakers that year, was swept by the Lakers in the West Finals, and lost an average of 20 points per game in four games, especially the last two games lost by a total of 70 points.

Grasp all opportunities, whether on or off the court, grasp all the favorable factors, this is Liu Ren's playing principle, and everything must be grasped without violating his conscience to do the kind of behavior of Deng Tai Jones and Bowen.

In the first game of the Western Conference finals, the Lakers maintained a 20-point lead from Barnes in the first quarter and made a good start at 109-90.

In the second game, the furious Steve Kerr hid Barnes directly.

But Barnes is the strongest small forward in the Warriors, even if Iguodala goes up, it is useless, Iguodala has never had the three-point ability and height advantage of Barnes, his role in the Warriors is to lead the second team to abuse the opponent's bench, and the effect is average after playing the starter, and the Warriors bench has become weaker, which can only let Curry continue to soar, resulting in Curry's physical decline, inaccurate shooting in the final quarter, and the Lakers played a wave of 15-0 in the final quarter, laying the victory in one fell swoop.

In the third game, the helpless Steve Kerr activated Barnes again, but at this time Barnes had completely collapsed, the Lakers didn't want him, and the coach of his own team still didn't let him play in the Western Conference Finals, lost his fighting spirit, and it was better not to come back if he came back, and the Warriors' second game had been slightly adapted to Barnes's absence of play again, and the previous play Barnes looked half-dead, although Curry scored a career-high 51 points in the playoffs, but the Warriors only scored 85 points as a team, The Lakers beat the Warriors by nearly 40 points, 113-85.

In the final game, the Warriors were like the Spurs who were defeated by the Lakers in the 2001 Western Conference finals, and the Spurs were the league's No. 1 defensive team for four consecutive years, and the Lakers won them by more than 40 points.

The Warriors didn't have the defense of the Spurs at that time, only Curry's lonely frenzy, but they were led by the Lakers by nearly 30 points at halftime.

Curry scored 25 points in the half, the Warriors scored 33 points in the half, and the Lakers scored 60 points in the half.

In the second half, the Warriors were like the Lakers in Game 6 of the 2008 Finals, and after halftime, they announced their surrender.

0-3 has never been a turnaround, which is not known how many times more difficult than a 1-3 turnover, basically the same as 1 divided by 0, it is impossible to have a result......

……

……

The Lakers won 12 in a row and swept three consecutive sweeps to reach the Finals!

From the first game of the Western Conference Finals, the fans were confused, what the hell is going on? The Warriors are so vulnerable in front of the Lakers?

And then...... The real Warriors were swept.

Curry averaged 41 points per game and soared, but he couldn't stand the team's two big men, one lost his fighting spirit, and the other was separated from the team.

At this time, the two teams in the East who played hotly were dumbfounded.

What's that? James and Anthony stared wide-eyed, they just tied 2-2, and the Warriors in the West were killed by Liu Ren and Kobe Bryant without even forming an obstacle? The other party is waiting for work again?

Then the two teams continued to shop.

James was also convinced of his tragic encounter, and last year he was unlucky from the first round to the Eastern Conference finals, but he still relied on his personal ability to force into the finals.

In addition to the first round this year, the second round and the Eastern Conference finals are not much better than last year, the Celtics almost took off a layer of skin, and then the Knicks are stronger than last year, fortunately Irving and Love are not injured this year, otherwise they really can't do the current Knicks.

The game between the Cavaliers and the Knicks was originally thought to be defense vs. offense, but it turned out to be an offense, and it was impossible for the Knicks to defend well, so they simply took the offense to the extreme.

And the Cavaliers face the Knicks with Louis Williams, Wade, Anthony, Stoudemire, and Porzingis, it is really difficult to defend, Wade and Stoudemire are old and strong, Anthony and Louis Williams are at their peak, Porzingis is a super tall man with all-round offensive ability, and Tyronn Lue, the interim head coach of the Cavaliers, is a super young head coach who is less than 40 years old, and he is bold and directly chooses to attack with the Knicks.

As a result, the first four games between the two teams ended up 2-2.

The last three games of the home and away games are about to begin, and the break is a little longer, at this time, the two teams see the score on the Western side, and it is not good in an instant, and the Lakers have reached the finals waiting for them.

……

……

For some unknown reason, the remaining awards that were dragged by President Adam Silva, who was full of jumping thinking, to the division finals before calling the relevant personnel to vote were finally announced.

On the day when the Cavaliers and Knicks played the battle of Kings Mountain, the best defensive player was announced along with the best team and the best defensive team.

The best rookie was won by the Timberwolves' Carl Towns without any suspense, and Carl Towns averaged 20.4 points and 10.5 rebounds per game in the affordable version of 20+10, becoming the first rookie to average 20+10 per game since Griffin.

The All-Rookie Team first team was named by Towns of the Timberwolves, Devin Booker of the Suns, Porzingis of the Knicks, D'Angelo Russell of the 76ers, and Jahir Okafor of the Magic.

Devin Booker averaged 15+4+4 per game in his rookie year, and because of his long bench play, if it weren't for the Suns' poor record, he would have become the best sixth man.

Needless to say, Porzingis averages 14 points and 8 rebounds per game, a three-point shooting rate of 35 percent, an average of 1.5 three-pointers per game, and an average of two blocks per game.

D'Angelo Russell, who went to the 76ers, a team that lacked top talent, was immediately activated, averaging 17 points and 4 assists per game, with a gratifying three-point shooting rate, 39 percent, the only drawback is that the movement can only be regarded as an average level, so tall and close to two meters tall The ability to rush is insufficient, and the rebounds are too few, and the average is only two rebounds per game, which is nicknamed a 19-year-old classic car by fans.

Jahir Okafor averaged 17 points and 7 rebounds per game, and although the Magic still had a bad record and he was depressed when he lost, he still couldn't hide his dazzling talent.

The second team of the All-Rookie Team was selected by Jokic of the Nuggets, Nance Jr. of the Lakers, Moodier of the Nuggets, Winslow of the Heat, Willie Stein of the Kings, and Myles Turner of the Pacers.

Compared with the first team, except for Jokic of the Nuggets, who has a bright future in the rookie second team, the others ...... It's really miserable, and the rookies of the class of 2015 will be able to see more than one hand.

In the end, the Lakers won the best defensive player of the regular season, Draymond Green won the best defensive player for the second year in a row, and the Spurs' Leonard was only seconded by less than 30 points, Liu Ren was voted third, and Whiteside and Andre Iguodala were together in fourth.

The All-Defensive Team first team was led by Green, and the Clippers' Chris Paul, the Celtics' Avery Bradley, the Lakers' Liu Ren, the Spurs' Kawhi Leonard, and the Lakers' Draymond Green were all named to the All-Defensive First Team.

The All-Defensive Second Team was named by Aaron Afflalo of the Cavaliers, Tony Allen of the Grizzlies, Andre Iguodala of the Warriors, Paul George of the Pacers, and Hassan Whiteside of the Lakers.

The first team of the best team was led by Curry, and there was no suspense that he was unanimously selected for the first team of the best team, and the remaining four were Russell Westbrook of the Thunder, Liu Ren of the Lakers, LeBron James of the Cavaliers, and Anthony Davis of the Pelicans.

The second team of the All-NBA team is led by Leonard, and the other four are Chris Paul of the Clippers, Isaiah Thomas of the 76ers, Kevin Durant of the Thunder, and Hassan Whiteside of the Lakers.

The third team of the All-NBA is led by Kobe Bryant, and the other four are Klay Thompson of the Warriors, Radmarcus Aldridge of the Spurs, Julius Randle of the Warriors, and Draymond Green of the Lakers.

Lillard was once again ignored, with such a team into the playoffs, but the best team did not score, Kobe Bryant was old and strong, plus the record bonus and the media's impression points, squeezed into the third line.

None of this is surprising, the strange thing is that Lillard didn't make the All-Star team, and Anthony Davis, who has the bottom record, is like the media's own son, not only is the player ranking ranked in the top five or even the top three in most of the media, but he has actually advanced for a while.

If it is said that Anthony Davis has good stats, it is useless, but Harden also has a bad record and good stats, but he did not make the All-Star team.

And Anthony is because Wade and Louis Williams have dropped below 20 points per game, and it is normal not to score, and judging from the selection of the entire All-Star team, it seems that the NBA has begun a new era.

……

……

"Both of our teams are almost out of the best team, and the league has no one to put your Green in the center position, so I want to leave you a forward position to play a defense, but Westbrook went in for a while, and Durant didn't score...... This oden is delicious, and it is the oden that they have to cook by their own people in Japan to be truly delicious. Curry didn't like the soup either, and took a bite of the meatballs wrapped in juice.

"Eh, eh, I'll take precautions, okay! It's not surprising that Westbrook went into a while Durant didn't score, Westbrook's performance this year is better than Durant, Durant was beaten to the point of losing his fighting spirit when he beat you, the strangest thing is that Anthony Davis led the team to play like this, their lineup I thought they could get into the top four, I didn't expect him to be able to go into the top four like this, I think Hassan saw this, and next year it is estimated that he will hit the thick eyebrows to death. Liu Ren seemed to see that beautiful picture.

"Brother Thick Eyebrows?"

"The nicknames given to Anthony Davis in our country, people in our country like to give nicknames to players, and they like to take them according to their characteristics."

"Oh yes, Anthony Davis eyebrows are very unique, just like that what Adade Kundo ...... Addo Dai Kunmbo? Anyway, what is the nickname of the alphabet brother of the name that looks terrible, because the name is very long? ”

"That's right, our country will give nicknames to players who are popular and characteristic."

"And your nickname?"

"I didn't." Liu Ren refused to answer this question, over the years, domestic fans have simply taken nicknames, and it seems that they are becoming more and more uneducated.

Take a look at the previous nicknames, Flying Man, Half-Human and Half-God, Truth, Answer, Peter Pan, Big Shark, Roaring Celestial, Stone Buddha, German Chariot, Little Giant、...... Some are translated, and some are taken by themselves, but they all try their best to make the nickname domineering, cultured and level.

But now, what kind of stupid Fen, nerd, imperial uncle, thirty-year-old man, nagging, turtle, migrant worker Du ...... What the hell is this......

Liu Ren, who is known by other people's Chinese nicknames, will be willing to tell them, but Liu Ren will never say that his nickname is Ren-Liu......

"It seems that you really don't have any characteristics, boss, by the way, do I have a nickname?"

"Yes."

"Cool! Tell me my nickname! ”

"I really want to know?"

"Yes!"

"Don't regret ......"

"Speak quickly!"

"Your nickname is ...... pupil……”

“…… You're kidding me. ”

"Who made you look like a milk baby."

"What is a milk baby?"

"An unweaned child."

“……”

Curry said he didn't believe that he could call such a domineering three-point king with the nickname "elementary school student", and he immediately called his agent, that is, ...... Chicks.

As soon as the chick picked up the phone, Curry asked urgently, "Mary, what is my Chinese nickname?" ”

There seemed to be a little hesitation on the other end of the phone, and then a voice came that seemed to want to change the subject: "Huh...... Stephen, why are you asking this? ”

"......" Curry was silent for a few seconds, "Okay, I probably know, it's okay, I'll just ask, you continue to be busy." ”

Curry hung up and sighed...... Blame me for being so tender!
