I’m Really Playing Basketball

In the first round of the NBA playoffs this season, the East is almost one-sided, with teams with better records and teams with poor records.

But on the west side, except for the Spurs, who were the No. 1 in the West, and the Suns, who were eighth in the West, playing relatively easily, the other three groups were not so easy.

The second-place Warriors in the Western Conference played against the Jazz. After falling behind 0-2, they were eliminated by Chen Xiao with 40+ points in four consecutive games and four consecutive games.

Although the final big score of this matchup was 4-2, the way the Warriors advanced was even more dangerous than 4-3.

The first two home games were lost. Seriously, even Warriors fans felt that the team’s playoffs this season were going to collapse.

It's just that no one thought that Chen Xiao's uprising would be so swift.

However, this series also made people see the reality of this Warriors team.

In this Warriors team, except for Chen Xiao, the performance of other important players in the playoffs needs to be more mature.

Needless to say, Bill and Thick Eyebrows.

Both Warriors' young cores are rookies.

In addition to these two, even if Klay is not a rookie, he is actually playing in the playoffs for the first time this season.

Historically, in his first scrimmage this season, Klay shot just 34 percent from 3-point range.

It wasn't until the second scrimmage that Klay was less nervous and hit 50%. However, although Klay's three-pointer returned to normal because his mentality was not so nervous, Klay was still not used to the playoff confrontation. of.

Klay's shooting percentage at the basket is less than 40%. You must know that in the regular season, although breaking with the ball is not his strong point, he also has a shooting percentage of more than 60% at the basket.

It can be seen that Klay is playing in the playoffs for the first time, and how much impact the confrontation in the playoffs has on him.

Of course, in fact, because of his strong three-point shooting ability and good confrontation ability, he was actually less affected among young players who played in the playoffs for the first time.

But anyway, when you have five starters on your team, three of them make the playoffs for the first time.

The two core backups, Dragic and Ibaka, are also playing in the playoffs for the first time. Such a team really needs something different if it wants to go further.

The first round of the Warriors was different, of course, was Chen Xiao.

Of course, Chen Xiao is the cornerstone of the Warriors, but if only Chen Xiao broke out, it would be difficult for the Warriors to win four games in a row.

This practice match, big Lopez and Barnes and Novak these veteran performances are very good.

Especially Big Lopez, facing the Jazz's very targeted use of Paul Millsap to top and grab, Big Lopez's performance in the first three games was not very smooth, and Chen Xiao broke out to attract a lot of defense. , he also took advantage of the situation, and the last three games were 20+ in three consecutive games.

Throughout the training game, he averaged 19.8 points, 9 rebounds and 2.2 blocks per game. It can be said that it supported Chen Xiao's runaway.

Let's just put it this way, if it weren't for the fact that there is a small Yao Ming like Lopez in the inside who can output stable output, with Chen Xiao's style of play in the next four games, Chen Xiao's defensive pressure will be extremely huge.

At that time, no matter how strong Chen Xiao was, without the experience card, he couldn't play 40+ in four consecutive games, and it was hard to say whether the Warriors could come back.

Let's just say, when Chen Xiao was about to take over the game, he was ready to advance 4-3.

In other words, Chen Xiao himself never thought that it would be 4 to 2 in the end.

However, although Chen Xiao took the Warriors past the Jazz and reached the second round, many people are not very optimistic about the Warriors in the face of the Clippers.

The Clippers faced the sixth-placed Mavericks in the West, and they also advanced 4-2. Compared with the Warriors, although the Clippers and the Mavericks played very fiercely, everyone can see that the Clippers are not like the Warriors. You need to use your own cards to advance.

In this training match between the Clippers and the Mavericks, the small artillery didn't even exert any force. The whole process let Howard rub the Mavericks' inside line, and then smashed back and made crazy free throws.

In this training game, Dwight Howard averaged 15 free throws per game and 10 hits per game. The data for the entire training game was 27 points, 16 rebounds and 2 blocks per game. Of course, there were 5.5 turnovers.

Howard is the main attack in the interior. Because of his ball-handling and singles skills, he still makes a lot of mistakes.

However, because the strength of the Mavericks is not so strong now, the Clippers are also willing to practice Howard's inside singles in preparation for the semifinals or finals.

Whether playing the Warriors or the Jazz in the semifinals, Howard's inside singles are useful.

The Jazz's inside line is too short, while the Warriors' inside line is too fast and too thin, and too slow to build up. These are all opportunities for Howard.

Therefore, before the second round of the playoffs between the Clippers and the Warriors, most experts in the United States believe that the Clippers are likely to end the entire practice game in 6 games.

In the other Western Conference semifinals, many experts are also more optimistic about the Spurs, who are the No. 1 player in the Western Conference. The Spurs must be able to solve the Lakers in six or even five games.

The Lakers played the Timberwolves in the first round of the practice game all the way to the tiebreaker.

The Lakers were originally an older team, and now the first round of consumption is so large, facing the more mature and powerful Spurs, the Lakers are difficult to be optimistic about.

Even if Kobe is indeed the Spurs killer, but in the past two years, as Kawhi Leonard matures and Ron Howard is still in his prime, it has become more and more difficult for the boss to play the Spurs.

However, the Lakers are a super team after all, and the Boss is a super player after all, so there are still variables.

In short, in any case, after the first round of the NBA playoffs this season, everyone became more excited, because the division semifinals are really strong dialogues!

In the semifinals in the East, the Bucks, the No. 1 in the East, beat the Bobcats, the No. 5 in the East. This is an early stage of the Eastern Conference finals last year. Derrick Rose and Stephen Curry, the two MVP-level point guards, do they want to play again? Staged the ultimate mutual attack spark?

Of course, this time, there is no Chen Xiao next to Ross, and Durant is next to Curry, and it is the more mature Durant.

Therefore, although the Bobcats are very strong, most people are still more optimistic about the Bucks. Of course, it is not easy for the Bucks to advance.

The other group is against the Heat and the Cavaliers, the No. 2 Eastern Conference.

This group is the contest of the league's first center battle.

With Oden getting stronger this season, plus Milicic was out in the first round, and Milicic is from Sevilla and plays in Canada, so the second center, the American side Most of the media thought it was Auden.

Of course, from the perspective of NBA players like Chen Xiao, Oden is very strong, but Milicic is still more difficult to deal with, after all, the combination of Garnett and Nowitzki.

Since Oden is already the second center, facing the Heat led by the first center Yao Ming, as long as the Heat have passed, let's just say, the American media will definitely be willing to lose the American's first center position for 8 years again. worn on the head of an American.

Therefore, many American experts are looking forward to the matchup between the Cavaliers and the Heat.

Looking forward to the battle between Yao Ming and Oden, even more than the battle between Wade and James.

On the west side, the Spurs played the Lakers, Kobe played Ron Howard, one of the most popular outsiders in the NBA, and there was McGrady next to Ron Howard. The popularity of these three people plus Duncan ... tsk, It will definitely bring back memories that I don't know how many people have.

In comparison, the Clippers and Warriors are actually the least interesting.

Of course, as long as Chen Xiao is not out, as the first player in the league, he deserves a spot of focus.

In a word, in this year’s playoff finals, every matchup is a series with an explosion of traffic. Many viewers are already gearing up for the second round of the playoffs at this time.

Of course, before the second round of the playoffs starts, everyone needs to wait a bit, and the league needs to give out the various awards of the regular season.

This year's Rookie of the Year was the first to be awarded. In the end, Thick Eyebrows defeated Lillard with difficulty and won the Rookie of the Year.

In the first half of this season, Nongmei's performance is definitely the only candidate for the best rookie. After all, he entered the All-Star with his crazy performance in the first half of the season.

But pulling the hips in the second half of the season directly put Lillard into everyone's sight.

Lillard's performance in the Blazers this season is really good. As a player who is not very optimistic, he can average 19 points and 6.5 assists per game in the Blazers this season, and his shooting percentage is 43%. This data is still very good. .

If the Blazers can finally make it to the playoffs, then there is no doubt that Lillard can finally win the Rookie of the Year, but unfortunately, although the Blazers are working hard, although the West is still very weak now, it was similar to the East at that time. Compared, in the current West, if you want to enter the playoffs, you still have to have a winning percentage of more than 50%.

The Rookie of the Year lineup this season is thick eyebrows, led by Lillard and Beal.

Of course, Lillard must be very unhappy just getting an All-Rookie Team for a while, so on his social media, Lillard was very dissatisfied and directly dissed his thick eyebrows.

"If I could be on the same team as GOD, I could be an All-Star in my rookie season, get the best rookie, and even make the best team!"

It has to be said that Lillard is still a very ambitious young man.

Lillard has been very good at marketing his image on social media since he entered the NBA. Obviously, he has no intention of just becoming an ordinary NBA star.

It can only be said that there are not many players with absolute talent like Lillard, but extremely ambitious players in the entire NBA.

Of course, Chen Xiao will not be involved in the matter between the two juniors between Nongmei and Lillard.

In short, the awards of this year's major NBA awards have been full of controversy since the first award.

After the Rookie of the Year, the Sixth Man of the Year, the league gave Manu Ginobili to the Spurs. This is a huge controversy.

There is absolutely no problem with Ginobili's strength, but the key point is that Ginobili's data this season is only in the early 10s per game.

Let's just say that after McGee came to the Spurs, and as Kawhi Leonard grew, the numbers of other perimeter players on the Spurs inevitably declined, not just Manu Ginobili, but Parker as well.

In this case, Ginobili's data is indeed not worthy of the honor of the best sixth man.

Especially in terms of data and big names, Roy is obviously more suitable.

Roy is averaging 16 points per game this season. Although the Bobcats are fifth in the Eastern Conference, they have the same record as the Spurs.

In this case, how can you convince Roy's fans?

However, from another point of view, Roy has won many sessions, and without a huge improvement in performance, it is indeed better to substitute.

However, if you make a substitution, you can also substitute other people, such as Jr Smith of the Tunnel team, or even Ibaka of the Warriors. Jr Smith has an average of nearly 20 per game, the best bench player with the best stats, and Ibaka is the backup. Averaged 10 points, 7.5 rebounds and 2.9 blocks per game.

Let's just say, as a backup, Ibaka is the second-leading player in blocks this season.

Coupled with the Warriors' record, Ibaka really looks more appropriate than Ginobili.

However, in the end, Ginobili won the sixth man of the year again in his career.

Compared with the rookie and sixth man awards, the most improved player award goes to Paul George.

The Defensive Player of the Year award went to Oden, and the MVP finally went to Durant, which is not too controversial.

Paul George has been excellent on both ends of the offense and defense for the Heat this season, especially in the playoffs this season. He averaged 19 points, 9.5 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals per game in the series, and he scored 3 doubles in G1 in the playoffs.

And Oden will not say it, and now it has been hyped to become the second center. The combination of him and James is known as the combination of Admiral + Olajuwon.

As for Durant, Durant deserves the second MVP of his career, no matter the team record or individual performance. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

By the way, Chen Xiao was once again selected to the All-Defensive Team this season along with Oden, James, Ron Howard and Chris Paul.

And finally, the most controversial award of the annual awards season is about to begin, that is, the best lineup.

This year's best team, a first team, Yao Ming, James, Durant, Chen Xiao, Ron Howard

Second team, Oden, Garnett, Duncan, Wade, Rose

Third team, Milicic, Anthony, Kobe, Curry, Chris Paul

The controversy of this year's best lineup is even greater than in previous years.

First of all, let's not say which players were selected and which players were not selected.

Let's talk about the positions of the players selected.

Let's just put it this way, although Chen Xiao played a guard, he played as a small forward for the Warriors most of the time, but Chen Xiao was a guard in the first team.

In the second team, Duncan played as a center most of the time, but was selected as a forward.

In the third team, although Kobe also played small forward, most of the time he played as a guard.

Obviously, this is what the NBA is commonly known as Schrödinger's position.

Could it be that after Nongmei entered the alliance, even his own Schrödinger position was brought into the alliance?

Nongmei has been a forward and a center in history, and the awards have never suffered a loss, which has caused a lot of controversy.

Obviously, there are three thick eyebrows all at once, and the controversy can be imagined.

However, in the controversy, Chen Xiao achieved a first defense for ten consecutive years, and achieved a first defense for 11 consecutive seasons.
