I’m Really Playing Basketball

On May 5, 2014, the Eastern Conference semifinals between the Warriors and the Clippers began.

This is the second straight year that the Warriors met the Clippers led by Xiaopao in the Western Conference Finals in the playoffs.

The Clippers this season are much stronger than last season.

A Howard in exchange for Tyson Chandler and Stoudemire, plus Ryan Anderson and Danny Granger traded from the Bobcats, as well as Jamal Crawford, Glen Davis and other players, the Clippers The team is indeed a very good team.

In the West, it is second only to the Spurs and Warriors.

It's like there's a cliff between the Warriors and the Spurs.

The gap between the Clippers and the Warriors is actually that kind of cliff.

By the way, Granger of the Clippers needs to focus.

After the former Bobcats short legs, with the rise of Jimmy Butler and DeRozan, the Bobcats lost their place.

Granger has made great contributions to the team and reduced his salary. Although he lost his position, Boss Joe is willing to support him until he retires.

After all, Granger is still Joe's big apprentice.

It's just obvious that Granger himself doesn't want to retire with such retirement.

He feels that he is only 31 years old, and his body still has the fuel to continue fighting, even continuing to be an All-Star.

Under such circumstances, Boss Qiao was also very helpless, so he could only let his eldest apprentice choose his own team, and he sent it to him for free.

Granger then drafted the Clippers.

Granger and Xiaopao are former teammates and good friends, and Xiaopao's style suits him well, and the Clippers have promised that he will be the star of the team when he arrives here.

Then Granger came to the Clippers.

After Granger's short legs, it really had a great impact on his athletic ability.

But compared to history, Granger in this time and space, as a student trained by Jordan and Chen Xiao, has a much more stable shooting ability, a much stronger confrontation, defense, and ball-handling ability.

Just as others commented on Durant after the Achilles tendon ruptured in history, even if Durant can only stand on the court, he can become a player who is at least a driver.

And Granger, in fact, has such a taste.

He shoots extremely well, and he can control and confront him. Even if he just stands on the court, he has a great offensive threat.

Therefore, after Granger came to the Clippers this season, he averaged 16 points per game and hit a career high.

It can also be seen from this that Granger and Durant do have a talent gap.

Granger is at least an All-Star right now, which is good.

But Durant, after many serious injuries, even if he is no longer able to score at the basket and lost a bunch of lethal weapons, he is still the super giant of the league...

However, although it may be difficult for Granger to regain his superstar-level strength in the future, his performance in the Clippers this season is still very gratifying to Chen Xiao and Qiao boss.

Therefore, this season, Chen Xiao and Qiao boss have both voted for Granger's All-Star.

However, in the first game, it was really difficult for him, Chen Xiao and Alian were too strong.

On the bench, Granger's data is not enough, and the Clippers' record is not enough, so this season he failed to enter the Western Conference All-Star.

Although this season did not make the All-Star again, but this season is the first time he played a season starter after a major injury.

As long as he proves that he can still be a star in the NBA, there will definitely be opportunities in the future. After all, even now, Granger is only 31 years old and still young.

Therefore, for Granger, Chen Xiao has only blessings.

However, although blessings are blessings, when it is time to make a heavy hand, it will definitely not stay.

After acquiring Tyson Chandler and Stoudemire, the Cannons and the Clippers have had a very strong offense this season.

Xiaopao has a feeling of being invincible in the regular season pick-and-roll this season.

The Warriors were the team with the most offensive points in the regular season, followed by the Clippers.

But in the playoffs, the offense is impossible to attack.

The Clippers' biggest problem is their defense.

Tyson Chandler's pick-and-roll screen is really strong.

But Tyson Chandler is 32 years old after all. Although he can still jump and assist in defense, it is difficult to control a large area by himself like he did in the Cavaliers and Mavericks.

Except for Tyson Chandler.

Several starters for the Clippers.

Stoudemire, he basically doesn't defend now. In the Bobcats and next to Chen Xiao, Stoudemire will still defend seriously, but in the Clippers...

Offensive stats are still the most important.

And Ryan Anderson, not to mention this, is not very good at assisting and defending alone.

Granger is capable of defending, and in-situ defense is still very top-notch. After all, his athletic ability has dropped a lot, and being unable to keep up with defenders is a big problem.

As for the small artillery, the small artillery defense is also very strong, but if there is only one small artillery on the outside, it is difficult to make a single hand.

Xiaopao is not a defender like Chen Xiao, and his defensive influence is not that great.

So the Clippers' defense is head-heavy, foot-heavy, and empty in the middle.

Basically, as long as you're patient, the Clippers' defense is full of sieves.

It’s okay not to be targeted by opponents in the regular season. In the playoffs, after being targeted by opponents, there are indeed gaps everywhere.

This is why Chen Xiao feels that the Clippers are not a playoff team.

In the first round, facing the Timberwolves, perhaps the team with the worst offense in the league, the Clippers were stabbed in two games before advancing 4-2.

And it also allowed Rondo to average 28 points, 11 assists and 7 rebounds per game. Even G4 allowed Rondo to do a 40+ triple-double of 40 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists.

Rondo played like Rose in this series.

In the end, the whole small cannon was in a hurry, and there was a big conflict with Rondo in the first round.

This problem is huge.

It can be said that although the Clippers did advance in the first round, winning is not so convincing.

At least, many don't think the Clippers are a threat to the Warriors.

However, in the G1 game, the Clippers gave the Warriors a blow to the head. The Clippers in the away game actually defeated the Warriors 126-115.

And the Warriors' loss in this game is really nothing to say.

In the first quarter of this game, the Clippers blew the Warriors down.

As soon as the small gun came up, with the help of the pick-and-roll, he scored 7 of 7 in a single quarter and 5 of 5 three-pointers. He scored 19 points in a single quarter, leading the Clippers to 41 to 25 in a single quarter, directly beating the Warriors.

If it weren't for Chen Xiao's 15-of-23 game, and he scored 41 points in the three quarters, the Warriors would have lost very ugly.

Even if Chen Xiao scored 41 points in the third quarter, the fourth quarter was garbage time.

However, the Warriors chased a lot of points in the fourth quarter.

The Clippers slammed the Warriors to make the Warriors a little sober up and down.

The Clippers really don't look like a playoff team.

But this team can indeed beat any team in a certain game, as long as their offense is turned on.

Let's just say this, the Clippers made 15 three-pointers in three quarters, and they broke the mentality of the young Warriors players.

It can only be said that although the mentality of the Warriors players has improved from last season, the progress is not small, but it still cannot reach the level of a championship team.

On May 7, the Warriors and the Clippers fought again in G2 of the playoffs, and the Clippers' offensive state in this game was not so hot.

On the contrary, the Brave Warriors, who were ashamed and brave, scored 70 points in the first half. In the first quarter, Bill scored 6 of 6 and scored 17 points. In the second quarter, Klay scored 5 of 5 and scored 14 points.

In the end, the Warriors pulled back a city 130 to 100.

What's very interesting about this game is that Chen Xiao, Klay and Bill all scored 30+ in the three quarters.

Chen Xiao 32, Bill 32, Clay 30.

Bill got it right, the cannon was too short to defend.

Clay ran, but Granger couldn't keep up.

And Chen Xiao vs Anderson... This actually depends on Chen Xiao's mood and feel.

Therefore, if all the luck and feel factors are removed, the Clippers will face the Warriors, and some people will be optimistic about the Clippers, which is a ghost.

Therefore, when the game comes to the Clippers, the two consecutive games should be the Clippers' home field advantage, which should be beneficial.

But in the two consecutive games, the Clippers felt average. In the end, under the watch of Los Angeles fans, the Clippers lost two games in a row and made the big score 1-3.

Back at the home court of the Warriors, facing the desperate Clippers, the Warriors did not give the Clippers a chance, and finally defeated the Clippers 118-110 and advanced to the Western Conference finals.

The Spurs are already waiting for the Clippers in the Western Conference finals.

In the face of the Jazz, and Jerry Sloan is about to retire, many people think that the Spurs will lose their skin even if they advance.

But the end result was shocking.

The Spurs easily swept the Jazz 4-0, and the Jazz didn't even have a game difference of less than 10 points.

The small Stockton Jr. Jordan, who performed well in the regular season, was unable to move under the shroud of Roger.

Gordon Hayward, who performed well in the regular season, had a very difficult time when he was taken care of by wheat and Leonard in turn.

Two of the four cores are sluggish.

And Alain and Millsap didn't meet Duncan and Al Jefferson either.

The Jazz do have a morale boost.

However, the Spurs are the league's favorite team to grind opponents, and they are also the team that is least afraid of playing with high morale.

It's just a tick.

The Jazz are in the West, and it is impossible to play so hard against any team.

For Sloan, though, he was a head coach who was already beyond winning.

For him, as long as the young guys on the Jazz did their best for him, that was enough to satisfy him.

Seriously, with the talent of the Jazz, Sloan is proud enough to have brought them this far.

In the same way, with the talent of the Jazz players, they can finally **** Sloan's honorary retirement and be recognized to leave the NBA, which is also worthy of pride.

Players like the Jazz, when they came to the Jazz, were little turtles, and it was Sloan who pulled them up.

And now, they have the ability, not to mention the tortoise, they are also turtle warriors, and they also used their ability to **** Sloan.

Therefore, Chen Xiao was very moved to see the image of the United Arab in front of the TV at the Utah Jazz's home court and the applause and cheers of the fans hugging Coach Sloan and crying bitterly.

United really wants to bring a win to Coach Sloan.

For the UAE, Mr. Sloan is his loving father in the NBA. It can be said that the UAE was pulled up step by step by Mr. Sloan.

Without Mr. Sloan, the United Arab does not think that he can grow up smoothly in the NBA.

There is no shortage of talent in the NBA. What it lacks is the soil for talent to grow and the gardener to cultivate talent.

For the United Arab, Coach Sloan is definitely the best gardener who gave him the best growing soil.

However, this is the NBA, and not everything is possible.

Unfortunately, it is originally a kind of beauty of competitive sports.

Slam Dunk can be so enduring, but also because of its regret.

Regret is youth.

Regret is life.

Both teams in the Western Conference finals advanced to Lightspeed in the semifinals.

When the Warriors and Spurs advanced, the Eastern Conference semifinal matchup was still in Game 4.

And when the Western Conference finals between the Warriors and Spurs started, the four teams in the East were still playing in the tiebreaker.

Bucks and Bobcats.

Heat and Cavaliers.

These are the exact same two matchups from last year's Eastern Conference semifinals.

Compared with last year, these two teams played even more brutally this year.

Last year, these two duels failed to reach the tiebreaker.

Can only say that this season, the Bobcats and Cavaliers have improved.

Especially the Bobcats.

This season, the Bobcats center Cousins, played a very amazing performance and data in the regular season.

Averaged 23 points, 12 rebounds, 3 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.5 blocks per game, shooting 50%.

Let's just say, this season's Cousins ​​is definitely one of the best centers in the league playing the five minors.

So, facing the Bobcats led by Rose, Roy, Jimmy Butler, Cousins, David West, Roy Hibbert, Kemba Walker, DeRozan, Curry Jr., the Bucks Varsity was really tough.

However, in the final tiebreaker, the Bucks won.

In G7, the Bucks' backup insider Draymond Green, who was brought up by Terry Porter, scored 24 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists, 2 blocks and 2 steals in the most crucial game, 9 of 12. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

Moreover, he actually blocked Cousins!

And, he hit that last crucial 3-pointer.

When the Bucks advanced, Durant, Curry, Ray Allen, Iguodala, Giannis and other Bucks players rushed to the team's bench like crazy.

Obviously, this battle may be the time for Drummond Green to replace Brackson.

Green's defense is too tough and has a lot of heart.

"The Bucks may have found their best insider"

Cole in front of the TV was full of envy.

Unexpectedly, the Bucks actually found treasures in the low draft.

That's the importance of people.

Another Eastern Conference semifinal match between the Heat and the Cavaliers.

In this series, the key man is still Yao Ming.

Yao Ming's height is too restrictive for Oden, Howard and other types of centers.

However, although the Heat eventually advanced, Yao Ming's consumption was also enormous.

Oden, indeed, is now one of the best centers in the league.

By the way, in G1 of the Western Conference Finals, which started first, the Warriors lost to the Spurs 115-125 away.

In this game, Tim Duncan scored 11 of 19 in 28 minutes and scored 27 points.

Now that he meets the Warriors, Duncan is unparalleled.

Big Lopez, Nongmei and Ibaka, Gobert and a group of young people, were actually trained by a 38-year-old old man in turns...

Duncan, the older you get, the more demonic you are!
