I’m Really Playing Basketball

As the Chen Xiao Dynasty and the "Golden Eagle Dynasty" inevitably come to an end due to age and aging, this year's NBA playoffs have become extraordinarily cruel and intense.

As the center of the vortex, Chen Xiao and the Warriors definitely do not want to withdraw from the stage of history like this.

On April 28, the Warriors faced the Spurs at the Oracle Center in Oakland, Golden State, after a week off.

The Spurs, led by Jimmy Butler, faced the Clippers in the first round. After a comfortable 4-1 victory over the Clippers, the Spurs are now in high spirits.

Jimmy Butler, Dwight Howard, Dejounte Murray, Big Gasol, Belinelli, Patty Mills, Ding Yanyuhang, and Derrick White, who performed very well in the playoffs this season.

There's absolutely good reason this team can beat the Clippers in the first round.

Under the leadership of Butler, a very serious leader, the Spurs have almost very few turnovers per game. You can say that this team does not seem to have high potential, but the lower limit of this team is Very high.

If your strength is not firmly above the Spurs, you can't be distracted by playing this team. As long as you don't pay attention, you will be defeated by this Spurs.

The first round of the Spurs and Clippers is like this, and the Clippers actually don't lose that much in each game.

There was even one game that was the final lore. In short, the Spurs' performance at critical moments was much harder than the Clippers.

It has to be said that although the Clippers have always been a tyrannical force in the West over the years, they are always so far from being a super team.

Now, with Paul, Stoudemire and others getting old, the Clippers are now considered to be out of the category of strong teams and are ready to start rebuilding.

It's just that the reconstruction of the Clippers is quite difficult. Although Los Angeles is a good city, the handling of the small cannons is not easy.

Although Xiaopao has become a veteran now, his strength is not bad. It should be very strong, but this kind of strength cannot support the pursuit of the championship. However, Laopao himself wants the championship and also wants to be the best. Salary, and then build a team around the old guns, it is difficult to win the championship.

If you build a team around other superstars, it is impossible for Xiaopao to take a pay cut and play support.

In addition, the old guns are unwilling to transform the Clippers into a ticket-selling team that only needs to enter the playoffs.

This is quite contradictory.

In short, the Clippers are in a bad situation right now.

Therefore, the Spurs, which defeated the Clippers and entered the semi-finals, are also considered by experts to be the weakest team in the Western Conference semi-finals.

Therefore, when the experts in the league predicted the matchup between the Warriors and the Spurs, most experts believed that it could be resolved within five games.

Indeed, in this year's Western Conference, in terms of hard power, the Warriors, Lakers, and Jazz are the first-tier teams, and the Spurs, Clippers, and then other teams can only get the Spurs, Clippers, and other teams every second.

Then the question comes, because the experts collectively predicted inaccurately in the first round, so this time, these experts predicted that there is no suspense in the match between the Warriors and the Spurs, so will there really be no suspense?

Well, in the end, there is really no suspense. The Spurs lost to the Warriors 1-4 in this series.

Although the Spurs played very hard, facing the Warriors' inside and outside problems, the Spurs couldn't catch it.

One of Howard and Pau Gasol could not attack, and the other was too old to attack, while the Spurs perimeter superstar Jimmy Butler faced the alternating defense of Klai and Jaylen Brown, and did not play the performance of the Clippers.

In this series, Jimmy Butler averaged 22 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists per game. This data is still very good, and the shooting rate is also 45%. This is the standard data that belongs to the superstar qualification line.

But obviously, if the Spurs want to win the Warriors and can't break the Warriors in the interior, Jimmy Butler needs to average at least 30+ per game, and it is efficient to average 30+ per game.

Just like the other Western Conference semifinals, the semifinals between the Lakers and the Jazz.

In this semifinal between the Lakers and the Jazz, the two teams played really brilliantly.

In G1 of the Western Conference semifinals, Leonard, the Lakers headed player who was humiliated by the Jazz in the playoffs last year, scored 16 of 23 at home, 3 of 7 three-pointers, 10 of 11 free throws, and scored a crazy 45. With 11 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals, he led his team to a 13-point home victory over the Jazz, taking the lead in this series.

In last year's playoffs, in the face of Gobert, who was on the inside to help defend, Leonard didn't dare to jump, and he was not good at shooting after being posted, and he was not so confident in breaking through.

It can be said that he played very badly.

But in this game, everyone saw Leonard's determination.

Even if his attacking effect in this game is not so good, it will be of great help to the team.

In this game, the Lakers' power forward and the most improved player this year, Siakam, scored 12 of 15 and 29 points in a single game beside Leonard.

Let’s just put it this way, as long as Leonard dares to fight hard, and Paul George, Jokic and Lowry attract defense, Siakam has a lot of space.

After all, except for Leonard, Paul George, Jokic, and Lowry, they can all pass the ball.

As long as Siakam is in place, it is an opportunity!

And Siakam's finishing ability is really good. This game can not only end at the basket, but also 3-for-4 from three-pointers.

So much so that after the game, Lakers fans exclaimed, Kobe Bryant's eyes were burning and he found a treasure.

Who would have thought that he has been wandering all the time, and that there was no chance in the Thunder, only Siakam, who averaged 5 points per game, had such an outstanding performance after being dug by Kobe to the Lakers.

So, after this G1 ended, the Boss Ke himself laughed silly, the Boss Ke was really happy.

It can be said that Siakam is the best antidote for the Lakers' power forward position.

In the absence of Lowe's growth and Kuzma's lack of defense, Siakam can attack, defend and shoot three-pointers. This is definitely the perfect puzzle for the Lakers now.

Siakam has a very good understanding with Jokic and Leonard.

So much so that after the game, Lakers fans affectionately called Siakam and Leonard the "Lakers Double Card".

And just after G1 was over, everyone felt that the Jazz were about to finish. In the next two games, the Jazz had a two-game winning streak and made the big score 2-1.

Not only did they win an away game, but G3 returned to home, giving the Lakers a 116-105 victory.

So much so that after the big win in G3, Lakers fans lost their minds.

After all, G4 is still the home court of the Jazz. In the state of the Jazz in G3, they beat the Lakers by more than 10 points, and the Lakers won the away game?

If Game 4 loses and the Lakers are 1-3 behind, it must be sent.

And there is a high probability that it will be the same 1-4 loss as last season.

It can only be said that the Jazz really restrained the Lakers.

Gobert standing there can greatly affect Jokic, then Yi Jianlian, Gordon Hayward, Ingles, Jordan, Mitchell and other players, all of them are very brave, they are really not afraid of being with the Lakers The team fights hard.

Just when the Warriors were happily preparing to meet the Jazz in the Western Conference Finals, an accident happened.

To be fair, for the Warriors, of course, they hope that the opponent is a team with no offensive ability in the center.

Although the Jazz are very strong against the Lakers, but against the Warriors, because Gobert has no offensive ability and cannot suppress the Warriors' inside line on the offensive end, it is basically impossible for the Jazz to defeat the Warriors.

In this case, as long as the Jazz advance to the Western Conference Finals, the team representing the Western Conference this year is still the Warriors.

In this case, the Warriors are of course all supporting the Jazz to advance.

Just G4...

Siakam fouled 2 or 4 times out of 10 in the game. He only played 20 minutes in the game because of the foul crisis and was destroyed by Yi Jianlian.

In such an unfavorable and desperate situation, Leonard, Leonard stood up again.

In the game, he made 13 of 20 attempts, made 5 of 7 three-pointers, and made 8 of 12 free throws. He scored 39 points, 14 rebounds and 5 assists.

At the same time, in the most critical second half, Leonard scored 7 of 10, 4 of 5 three-pointers, 4 of 8 free throws, and scored 22 points at halftime, stabilizing the team's victory and eventually leading the Lakers to a 101-98 away victory. The Jazz, miraculously pulled the big score back to 2-2.

Being rescued in such a desperate situation, after G4, the morale of the Lakers team exploded, which directly reflected on G5 at the Lakers' home court.

In G5, the Lakers returned home with high morale. They made 16 three-pointers efficiently in the whole game. Seven players in the team scored in double figures. Siakam, who was destroyed by Yi Jianlian in the last game, scored 7 of 19 points in this game He scored 25 points, got the highest score in the game, regained his confidence, and responded to Yi Jianlian.

In the end, with the team breaking out, the Lakers beat the Jazz 130-90 at home by 40 points.

After G5 Tianwangshan was over, everyone thought the Jazz were taking a pill. After all, the loss in G4 was too hurt for the Jazz. Coupled with the big defeat in G5, can the Jazz not play?

Under such circumstances, most teams will collapse directly.

But something miraculous happened again.

G6, the Jazz returned home in desperation, without a breakdown, amid the cheers and applause of the fans in the audience.

Yi Jianlian scored 9 of 18 points, 25 points.

Gordon Hayward, 9-for-13, 21 points, 5 fouls.

Gobert made 5 of 14 with 11 points.

Mitchell, 6 of 17, 17 points.

Ingles, 4 of 11, 4 of 10 three-pointers, 12 points.

Jordan, 6 of 11, 12 points.

Under the very tenacious and tough performance of these star players of the Jazz, the Jazz once again defeated the Lakers by 11 points at home.

So much so that when G6 was over, everyone was blinded, the experts were blinded, and many of the Warriors who supported the Jazz were blinded.

This series is completely unpredictable.

In the tiebreaker, the strength of the two teams is so close, the Lakers are stronger, but the Jazz seem to have restraint on the Lakers.

In this case, the tiebreaker becomes confusing.

In fact, the tiebreaker between the two teams was indeed extremely intense.

The two teams played until the last 2 minutes, and they were tied.

Then in the last two minutes, the two teams kept tying each other alternately, and then there were 4 seconds left at the end of the game. When the Lakers' last attack was suspended, the score on the court was 90, and it was still tied.

Under such circumstances, almost everyone felt that the game was going to be overtime.

After all, this game is too intense. In 4 seconds, the Lakers have no chance at all. In the end, it is very likely that they will throw a random one, and it is impossible to score.

In fact, as predicted by many experts, the Lakers did not have the opportunity to attack.

But the Lakers' team finally hit Leonard, who had the best and most amazing performance in this series and saved the team many times.

Leonard faced Gordon Hayward's defense with no chance, and an iconic Ron Howard jammed Jordan fell back.

A swipe!

Two point hit!

92 to 90!

Leonard beats the whistle to beat the Jazz!

This is Leonard's fifth point in the last 2 minutes, the team has 7 points, and he has 5 points.

This was Leonard's 15th personal point in the fourth quarter, the team scored 25 points, and he scored 15 points.

This is Leonard's 41 points in this game, the team has 92 points, and he has 41 points.

Leonard single-handedly led the Lakers to defeat the Utah Jazz who restrained themselves, and reached the Western Conference finals.

In the entire series, Leonard averaged 35 points, 10 rebounds, 4 assists and 1.5 steals per game, and his shooting percentage was 53% per game. In this series, Leonard established himself as the boss of the Big Three of the Lakers with his incredible and magical performance.

The boss problem that has been plaguing the Big Three of the Lakers has been completely resolved after this series.

At the same time, in this series, Siakam averaged 19.4 points, 7 rebounds and 2 steals per game, and the shooting rate was 44%. Although the whole series played with Yi Jianlian, he was able to compete with the famous power forward in the league. Famous old monsters fought hard, and Siakam was completely famous.

Yes, this one used to wander around, UU reading www.uukanshu. Com, a young forward who averaged 5 points per game before coming to the Lakers, is now the future star of the league.

In this series, the Lakers were able to defeat the nemesis Jazz, which was indeed a nirvana for the entire Lakers team.

Therefore, after leading the team to the promotion, the boss of Ke Ke cried with excitement.

And the coach of the Warriors, Kerr, saw that it was the Lakers who advanced, and saw that the Lakers advanced in this way. In the end, he sighed helplessly.

In fact, for the history of the NBA, champions are often not the strongest team, luck is very important, and this year, luck is not on the side of the Warriors.

Leonard, that impossible lore, finally hit.

In this year's divisional semifinals, the Lakers and the Jazz played the most intensely.

In the East, the Bucks, the No. 1 team in the East, faced the Wizards led by James Harden and advanced 4-1 easily.

The second-placed Cavaliers in the East faced the Heat, the third-placed team in the East. They didn't play very easily, and it wasn't that difficult with one hand. In the end, the Cavaliers advanced 4-2.

In fact, this series against the Heat told the Heat and Gao Bo that he still has a long way to go to face a center of Oden's level.

At the very least, his confrontation needs to continue to be strengthened.

However, for a rookie, to be able to follow the team here and play like the current second center in the league, Gao Bo's rookie career can be considered extremely successful.

Warriors, Lakers.

Bucks, knights.

The war is about to break out!
